Chapter 145 A Similar Fate?
"Come on!"
"Kill these Gallic pigs! Just like our ancestors did!"
"For the honor of the king! Frenchmen, defeat these mules and horses!"
On our east side, the Fifth Spartan Army and the French flank collided. The battle cry of the highly motivated Fifth Spartan Army and the desperate screams of the desperate French flank were so consistent.
Different.
In this wave of offensive, Maurice took the lead and very bravely led the vanguard battalion of the 1st Infantry Regiment of the 5th Spartan Legion to rush into the fragmented French army lines. In terms of height, he was not as tall as us Romans of mixed Eastern European and West Asian descent.
The French who did not have much advantage were knocked to the ground one after another, and then disemboweled by bayonets. With the support of the Fifth Spartan Army, the Saxon regiment, which had suffered repeated setbacks, also launched a counterattack.
Due to the random attack by the flanks and cavalry, the command of Prince Condé of the French army was completely disrupted. Coupled with the passivity of the flanks, now I no longer have to be afraid of what the most powerful general in the French army is doing.
The trick, for me, is that as long as I defeat the flanks and then occupy the high ground on the east side, I can launch a fierce attack on the French army from one side and then completely defeat them!
Can't do it?
On the battlefield, there are more than 20,000 French troops, divided into the original Paris garrison, the royal infantry guard, and the new provincial levy. We have more than 17,000 people on our side. We are at a numerical disadvantage, and the troops also speak different languages.
obstacles, but the three French troops are not very effective in combat. The original Paris garrison was simply pulled back by the French.
After going out for training, there were many heirs of nobles and wealthy businessmen, and the royal infantry guards were almost the same. Look, the group of princes started attacking without permission as soon as they saw that the battlefield seemed to be favorable to them. Even Prince Kong Dai could not restrain him. As for those
The province has recruited a new infantry regiment. Those farmers can compete with us, and I am afraid that the Saxon regiment can defeat them.
Well, victory is so easy!
It's a shame that I was worried all night last night!
"Hahaha, the command of the most famous French general is actually full of flaws! Our capture of Versailles is just around the corner!" Constans laughed.
etc…
If I had won so easily today, wouldn't I have continued on to Versailles?
In the end, I am dead!
Faced with the French army's chaotic pig players who gave away their lives, I was completely confused!
By taking advantage of his illness and making him sick, I gained an easy victory. I had no reason or excuse to retreat, so I could only rush towards Versailles with all my heart. I gained a difficult victory. Although many people would die, I still had the opportunity to retreat.
The reason for the transfer is so that the fake show can be made more real. Instead of making the fake show real.
what to do?
Prince Da Kongdai. You should try your best!
As an enemy, at this time, I suddenly hope that the opponent's general will be more powerful. This is really unpredictable!
However, as a very capable general for the entire French people, Prince Condé did not disappoint me.
He decided not to hide his troops anymore, and three consecutive battalions of infantry came out. The total number was 3,000 people. Before that, two cavalry regiments with a total of more than 1,000 cavalry were the vanguard!
"The French army is planning to make the most of their mistakes and launch a cavalry charge from the front!"
"Command the 2nd Infantry Regiment of the 5th Spartan Legion to hold the line of defense! Alexei, go up and stabilize the entire army! Your place here will be the key to the entire battle!"
Well, in addition to wanting to break through us head-on, Prince Da Kongdai also wants to reduce the pressure on the flanks. Of course, this is not what Prince Da Kongdai is capable of. The western flank is not moving, so he probably wants to calm down.
Braking, secretly mobilizing troops to break through us from the center, but if we use the troops on the west side to other places, the French army will flank us from the west flank.
He is worthy of being the strongest general in France. In an instant, he restrained my army of more than 8,000 men, which was almost half of my strength!
"Instruct the Prussian cavalry on the west side to move to the east side, and then charge the French infantry from the flank!"
Since there is still the possibility that the French army will attack on the flank, I will take advantage of the plan and deliberately move the troops away to contain part of their troops on the west side!
Constans shouted: "The French cavalry is out of touch with the infantry!"
"Out of touch?" I quickly raised my binoculars and saw that as soon as the group of French cavalry came out, they were charging at full speed. Compared to the Prussian cavalry on our side, they were still trotting slowly and moving from the west to the east.
Holy shit!
Those cavalrymen haven't had any cavalry tactics lessons?
How can everyone charge as soon as they enter the battlefield?
Don't they know that, from a distance of more than a thousand meters, they are charging at full speed, but when they get to us, no matter how strong the horse is, it will become a weak-footed horse!
In this case, the French army's original hope of breaking through our attack will become a massacre of cavalry by infantry!
"The infantry is also charging..." Constans shouted with a black line in his head, "Do we have a traitor among the French? Are there spies?"
Leon said innocently: "I didn't do anything."
The group of infantrymen behind the French army saw the cavalry charging, and actually ran behind the cavalry!
The whole wave of attacks was a mess and I was going crazy!
As the commander of the enemy's army, I am actually going crazy over the enemy's killings!
Please, I just want an even battle. Can you please stop holding back that great god? Didn't you receive the correct order? Don't you have any brains?
Why, the troops led by Prince Condé are completely different from those led by the Duke of Luxembourg and the Duke of Villeroy!
Oh, by the way, the Duke of Luxembourg was not present.
That duke is the prince's adjutant. What an adjutant is is that he is responsible for conveying orders to the general and sharing all the things that the general cannot take care of. In addition, the French army has sent out all the generals they can fight. Now the combination
The most powerful general in France was probably given to someone who had high ambitions but low abilities, and then it ended up like this?
I am not French, and I am not on the side of the French, so I can only watch a group of French people who are not very good at killing me again and again, and then wonder why they are so stupid, but in some way
In a sense, this group of French people are really meaningful and constructive, and, well, I guess I should use the word crooked now?
"Hahaha, we will win for sure! We will win for sure!!!" The French cavalry arrived in an instant, but without the physical factors brought about by speed, they were like the tide hitting the rocks, snapping.
, it fell apart and scattered. See this
The scene, Constans probably thinks of dying in Versailles now, not only his eyes are bloodshot, but his face is also distorted... Even if his face is distorted, this guy is still worthy of being described as handsome. But I really don’t see that Constans has always had such a
Strong suicidal tendencies.
I don't know how to describe the completely disjointed infantry line.
Anyway, there were more than 3,000 people, and only the last 1,000 people were still walking behind them, patting the line, and walking slowly in goose-step. The others were in a mess from 70 meters to 150 meters, firing a shot and hitting them.
Joined the 2nd Infantry Regiment of our 5th Spartan Legion.
This is an easy rhythm to crush!
With loose cavalry and disjointed infantry attacks from front to back, Alexey, who commanded the 2nd Infantry Regiment of the 5th Spartan Army on the front line, withstood the French offensive and immediately sounded the charge horn for a counterattack.
Come on, after a while, the French army gradually retreated.
As soon as the infantry retreated, the exhausted French cavalry also retreated. However, some cavalry were still furious and refused to retreat. They entangled themselves in the square formations and became the most conspicuous target of the attack. Until a battalion further behind
The French infantry rushed forward and dispersed our firepower, but it was only a matter of time before this force was defeated.
The chaotic offensive rhythm led to a failed offensive. The French army's attack in the center was frustrated. The east side was not much better, but the battle was still fierce and abnormal. Who told the east side to be a group of people who regarded the battlefield as a way to gain military glory, and then they were done with it.
It will become a place where pigs' feet are held at banquets, so they are very brave and powerful. Even in the face of the charge of cavalry and the strangulation of infantry, they are still fighting hard!
I remain calm on the surface, but my emotions in my heart are overwhelming. I want to cry but I can’t stop crying. Damn the French, give me your sister’s head! Doesn’t this force me to seek death? No, I must, I must change the current situation.
!But what if I make some wrong decision that goes against common sense and Constans will discover it! And it will rashly increase the casualties of our own soldiers?
Just when I was thinking about what to do, the French army on the flanks finally couldn't bear it and retreated, because we launched a cavalry assault there, and then the First Infantry Regiment of the Fifth Spartan Army led the Saxon Regiment.
Killed towards the high ground on the flank of the French army, where Prince Condé strengthened his strength, but that area
The fall of the place was doomed. The French launched several charges back and forth to regain the position, but Morris led his men to fight them back. Unfortunately, the French retreated in the end and destroyed their artillery. These
The guys hammered nails into the cannon fuses so we couldn't use their cannons.
The battle ended with a few minutes until 12 o'clock. I decided to tighten the attack on the French main position and moved my command location to the east where I could easily observe the French main position.
There are still thousands of troops in the main position of the French army, and with their artillery, it will take a lot of effort to attack. Seeing this scene, I finally breathed a sigh of relief. I found an excuse! But I
We must hurry up and conquer the high ground before the French reinforcements arrive.
By the way, why is the situation I'm in now so similar to Napoleon's situation at Waterloo?
I am also faced with the situation of defeating the enemy before their reinforcements arrive. I hope I will not be so unlucky! (To be continued...)
