The battle in the outskirts of Braunschweig, the capital of the Principality of Braunschweig, had ended the moment we appeared before it even started. The difference may only be the casualties of the Hessian Principality.

Because the Hessians immediately thought that we would block their retreat to Hanover, they moved a certain distance south. Although they later found that the south retreat road was blocked and quickly retreated to the west, they still

At a high price, Prince Dessau divided the Prussian infantry regiment in front into two parts. While one part squeezed the Hessian Army's movement space to the south, the infantry regiment to the west attempted to block the Hessian Army's movement space.

retreat.

The Duke of Hesse sent their cavalry with the intention of stopping Prince Dessau's infantry moving westward. If they launched an attack immediately, they would cause huge casualties to the Prussian infantry regiment in the vanguard, but they did not

Instead of doing this, after the Prussian infantry stopped moving, they also stopped moving.

Soon, the Hessians paid the price for their stupid move of pitying their troops. The panicked Hessian infantry walked past the cavalry, completely blocking the cavalry's space, and captured this fighter plane. The Prince of Dessau asked me.

Four Prussian cavalry regiments were added to the battle.

Considering that this might be a trap, and there might be French troops nearby waiting for us to cause chaos in the formation due to the hunt for the Hessian Duke, I only sent two Prussian cavalry regiments, and told Prince Dessau not to pursue the enemy.

We just want to tear off the Hessian Duke's right-hand man here, rather than destroy them here.

The Prince of Dessau, who had only two infantry regiments on hand on the flank, cooperated with two Prussian cavalry regiments with a total of more than 5,000 troops to launch the largest attack that afternoon. Although the Hessian Dukes, who were uncoordinated on infantry and cavalry, had three times the number of troops,

advantage, but chaos immediately broke out under the Prince of Dessau's onslaught.

Then there was the Hessian Duke who was killed by the Prussian cavalry saber during the assault of two cavalry regiments. He fell on his back and the sky was dark and the earth was dark. There was no distinction between east, west, north and south.

From the time we entered the battlefield and started deploying until the Hessian Army completely withdrew from the battlefield, the entire battle lasted for two hours, of which the real fighting time was only about 30 to 45 minutes. However, in less than an hour, the siege

The Hessian Duke of Braunschweig paid a heavy price.

A messenger was sent to Braunschweig, and I conveyed the order to the Prince of Dessau to stop the pursuit and asked Schwerin to go over and take stock of the results.

Soon, Braunschweig contacted us.

Seeing those people coming out of Brunswick looking at our group of reinforcements with an expression of "We finally found the organization", I probably knew why the Hessians chose to ignore my previous march and the French warning.

Maybe they think they can swallow Braunschweig just by gritting their teeth.

He appeased the envoys from the Principality of Brunswick and sent them back to arrange a meeting with our senior officials. Before dark, Schwerin took a notebook and reported our losses and gains to us.

"We have thrown away a lot of artillery baggage, sixty-five in total. The number of shells in the shell box is enough for us to fight two battles, but the caliber is different for us."

"Different calibers will affect the bombardment effect." Constans felt a little regretful. "It would be better if all cannons were cast according to our Roman muzzle system."

At this time, I am not picky: "It doesn't matter if the caliber is different, as long as it can be used, it makes up for the lack of our shelling intensity. You know, many artillery companies don't even have cannons on hand."

"Too."

After confiscating the Hessian artillery, Schwerin opened a new page, which recorded the losses of the Prince of Dessau's unit. Seven infantry regiments and two cavalry regiments were killed in battle, with more than 200 people missing.

These casualties are nothing compared to the losses suffered by the Hessen Army. Preliminary estimates indicate that the Hessen Army captured more than 1,200 people and died less in battle. Because it was dark, they were only rough.

After some calculations, there are probably more than 600 people like this in Heisen County.

"There are less than 2,000 people." Morris ate all the books he had read in the military academy and pooped them out.

"It's great to have such a result." Constans rolled his eyes. In order not to make people think that our senior Roman officers were idiots, he said, "This is a pursuit battle, not a battle of annihilation. Although I destroyed

The enemy has about two thousand people like this, but look at our prisoners

The number of prisoners was more than the number of people killed in the battle. It is estimated that the enemy had disrupted the organization in order to escape. The missing soldiers would most likely not return to the Hessian Army. In addition, the organization was in chaos. The Hessian Army

**, if it doesn’t take ten days and a half, you can’t even hope to regain your combat effectiveness.”

Constans is right. Although we only have a few battle results of less than 2,000 men here, judging from the extent of the collapse of their discarded baggage, the loss report of the Hessians will be much higher than ours, at least

Double the number, because for the Hessians, whether they are killed in battle, captured, or lost, they all fall within the scope of missing, and missing means a loss of combat power, but for us, missing is something we cannot record.

Arrived.

"According to me, we should surround this Hessian army with all our strength and annihilate them here. Look at the opportunity ahead. As long as all the cavalry are sent out, the Hessian people will be wiped out.

Fell here."

Morris felt unhappy that he could not eat the enemy's entire army at once, and he was not afraid of being overstretched. However, what he said was reasonable. According to the detectives behind us, the French were not here. If we had gone all out at that time, Black

Morito is going to hang here.

It is true that I have no regrets, but I can only comfort myself that at least I have accomplished the preliminary combat purpose, and I have also gained a general understanding of the command of the large corps through this combat. Judging from the current situation, there is no

It's so bad. Although you can't personally capture the battlefield with your eyes, you can at least judge the enemy's situation through the sound of artillery, thick smoke and frontline military intelligence reports. If necessary, you can go to the frontline to observe it in person.

After the battle ended in Brunswick and I contacted the Duke of Brunswick there, I declined his kind invitation to stay in Brunswick for ten days and a half, and refused Brunswick.

The army decided to cooperate with us in fighting together, and pursued Hessen in the direction of retreat the next day.

As for the Brunswick Army's desire to make some small contribution in this war, my request is very simple, that is, they can send us an alert when the French army crosses the border.

The next day, we launched a pursuit.

The reason for pursuing the Duke of Hesse is that the combat effectiveness of the French army in the two armies of the Principality of Hesse and the French Army is stronger than that of the Duke of Hesse. Any bit of force will be very valuable against the French army's combat effectiveness.

Be prepared, so the Hessian and French armies will be an obstacle to my battle against the French army. Regarding this

The method of arriving at Brunswick first, and then looking for fighter planes to engage in combat is to attack the Principality of Brunswick first, intimidate the Principality of Hesse with larger casualties, and then in subsequent actions, we can move north to solve the problem first.

The Duchy of Hesse made a feint, and then turned south when the French army attacked Braunschweig.

But, will the French army advance towards Brunswick?

It should.

You must know that although the French army is large in number, its main force is launching a fierce attack on Vienna in the south. The French army stationed in the Principality of Kassel can be regarded as the main force defending the flanks of the French army. Combined with the French army's instigation against the Principality of Hesse, they can attack Hanover at will.

Regarding the facts about the Principality and the Principality of Brunswick, I think the French's original idea was that the French army would attack Vienna in the south, and then merge with the Hessians to defend the flanks. In other words, it was a passive defense.

I just don’t know how the French did it. A good strategy turned into an active attack where the French army was stationed in the Principality of Hesse to contain Feletria and the others some time ago, and the main force of the Principality of Hesse went north to split the strategy in two.

If this is the case, all I can think of is that the French general and the general of the Principality of Hesse are at odds with each other. And the French general is the Duke of Villeroy, a descendant of the French royal family, which further strengthens my idea.

.

Since the French general is at odds with the Duke of Hesse, will the French army still move north?

I think it will, especially when they received the Hessian Duke and were defeated by us, and I was going to beat up the drowned dog.

But what if the French army doesn’t come?

Then I will make a fake show and beat the main force of the Hessians to death with a big stick, and then go south to attack the Hessian Principality.

As for the morale issue, the Prussians won a small victory and their morale was high. Naturally, it will not be a problem to go to the French to fight fiercely. Is it true that the Fifth Spartan Army still has a morale issue?
