Chapter 67 The Surrounding Situation
Throughout November, the Swedish side kept news about Carl twelve, and took several nobles with the largest opposition to the dungeon. The Swedish God of War made the nobles of the entire kingdom closed their mouths. It seems that he is iron -hearted.
Continue to fight with us again.
According to the news disclosed by the Swedes, although the Swedes will not bring the Twelve Karl Twelve Swedish Kingdom Defending Army.
The Mercenary Corps. The recruited mercenary regiment came from the foreign mercenary mercenaries recruited before the first troops of Carl twelve.
People, all the mercenaries that are desperate for money, but still the hard -working troops in the elite of the Kingdom of Sweden.
Considering that the last time I just hit the elite infantry of the Swedish Swiping Corps, the elite infantry took 10,000 Swedish recruits to make me almost cross again.
The request of the thirty -three Sparta Legion.
The 33rds of the Thirty -Three Slada Legion was as high as 2,000, but many people are returning to the team at present, and the number is maintained at about 7,300. The morale is still high.
The troops with a strong combat effectiveness are not worse than those of Swedish, and they are even stronger. I dare not say that 7,000 people can be used as 70,000 people in the Thirty -Three Thirty -Three -Three Spartan Legion, but it can be used as 12,000 people.
It is not impossible for the whole army to fight to the whole army. But I really don't want to do this.
In order to enhance the combat effectiveness of the Prussian, I will form a infantry camp of the Thirty -Three Sbapada Legion and a infantry regiment under the hands of Shi Weilin.
The former Prussian formal infantry new army has half of the new troops. But they will not make one army alone. They will not only be mixed with the leadership of the party leader led by Prince Dehao and Shi Weilin.
The recruits of the recruits are mixed. The newly called soldiers, including both Rongke from the south, as well as people from the reformists from the north. At the same time, in order to improve the morale, the reward mechanism of the Prussian army was changed.
In short, in December, after a series of remedies and supplements, the Kingdom of Prussia finally had a lot of troops that could fight.
The main force of Prince Prince Prince of Prussia, which is composed of Prince De Shao and Schovirin.
people.
The newly -established Prussian new army constituted a framework by the former new army officer who had been prison by the Orthochi party.
The reform party is filled with 7 Manchu Wallast Corps and 1 infantry battalion, about 10,000 people.
The 33rds of the Thirteen Sparta Legion added the recovered wounded back to 4 that there were 4 dissatisfied infantry regiments, two hunter camps, and about 7,000 artillery companies.
The Hitler Regiment's 2,200th team members were 2,100. The Saxon Force 3700th.
The Austrians have 3 infantry regiments and 6 artillery companies, approximately 6,000 people.
The total army has more than 38,000 people. However, the combat effectiveness of the troops is uneven. The real combat effectiveness is the direct line of Fritelli and the 33rd Sparta. The combat effectiveness of the newly reorganized Prussian Recruit Infantry Regiment is unknown. The combat effectiveness of the remaining troops is relatively comparable to that of Sweden.
The people are relatively weak. However, these are Prussian troops in the kingdom itself. In East Prussia, there is also a higher-level army composed of East Prussians.
The combat effectiveness of the old Prussian army, this army has 18,000 people. It also has more than 4 cavalry regiments and a cavalry force of about 3,000 cavalry. This is very important for the local king who is in urgent need of cavalry power, and that cavalry force
The 8,000 Prussian troops who originally stayed in Newmark also went to East Prussia. Today, East Prussia has 26,000 troops. It can be said that they are not elite soldiers.
However, during the royalist war, this army neither responded to Otto's call nor immediately defended the king like Schwerin did, but chose to remain silent. Although in the end, Philetria entered
Berlin, they immediately sent people to show their loyalty, but it was somewhat inappropriate for Prussia to have such a group of less loyal people staying in East Prussia.
For the time being, putting aside the internal factors that will not threaten Prussia in the short term, regarding the newly reorganized six fully-equipped infantry regiments of Prussian recruits, Hans von Levard and Hans von Levard jointly recommended by Prince Dessau and Schwerin.
The two Counts of Beffen became commanders of the newly reorganized infantry regiments of the Prussian New Army.
The former was recommended because he had rich military experience and had served as a drill officer for the new army for a certain period of time. The latter was recommended because Earl Beffen had been in charge of the northern counties for a period of time and was relatively easy to control his subordinates.
The sentiments of the majority of former new sergeants and soldiers.
I basically agreed with their proposal. The Prussian nobles Léwald and Count Beffen served as deputy commanders, and Prince Dessau served as commander-in-chief. Schwerin and the sons of Prince Dessau were temporarily in charge of the direct troops of Philetria.
.
In this way, the army has been prepared, and the guns and ammunition are fully prepared. As long as the battlefield is selected, the final decisive battle can begin. However, the initiative for this final decisive battle is not in my hands but in the hands of Karl XII.
The most powerful fleet in the Baltic Sea, the ships of the Kingdom of Prussia are simply scum in front of the Kingdom of Sweden. Karl Twelve can fly from almost anywhere.
Land and launch an attack on Prussia. But once December passes, the Swedes will lose the conditions to launch an offensive against Prussia until March. But after that, whether to attack West Prussia first or attack Pomerania in the east
Each has its own advantages and disadvantages. While we were still thinking about countermeasures, Werner in Vienna reported the situation of the war between Russia and Rome in the east.
In May, three battles broke out between Rome and the Russians in Mirgorod, Poltava, and Priti, which are 150 kilometers east of Kiev and 230 kilometers west of Kharkov, less than 100 kilometers away from each other.
.
The first was the Battle of Mirgorod. Uncle Tzimiszia used 2 second-line legions, 5 artillery batteries, 48 heavy artillery pieces, and 4 cavalry regiments with a total of 19,000 troops to block the Russian general Vasily Vladimir.
Led by Rovich Dolgoruky and Burkhard Christoph von Manick
The main force of the Russian army was 22,000 men and about 60 heavy artillery pieces. In the four hours from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., both sides invested more than 18,000 troops. Valens's father, Uncle Tzimiszia, lost to Vasily and
Burkhard and the two men joined forces. They relied on cannons to cut off the rear and cavalry to intercept, and retreated with a small defeat.
In the distance of nearly 100 kilometers from Mirgorod to Poltava, the number of Russian troops increased sharply after joining the reinforcements. The number of Russian troops increased by as many as 50,000. On the march, the Russian troops inevitably became disjointed.
The old man Svyatos deployed a main force of 39,000 men in Poltava, suddenly advanced 20 kilometers, and a decisive battle broke out in advance. Then he separated a partial division of 7,000 cavalry, led by Alexander, and suddenly attacked the rear of the Russian army. Several soldiers were rushing towards the rear.
The Russian army was reinforced on the front line. The Russian army's front army suffered a heavy blow, and its flanks were attacked again.
The cavalry raided. After a while, many troops fell into chaos. Then Uncle Tzimiszia who retreated came back again. A total of more than 55,000 Roman legions targeted more than 40,000 Russian troops 20 kilometers north of Poltava.
A melee broke out. After a day of fierce fighting, the famous Russian general Vasily was killed. The Russian army retreated.
Arrive at Puleti. After resting for only a few days, the two sides broke out again at the Battle of Puleti. The famous Russian general Burkhard tried to use the more than 10,000 Russian troops in the rear to gather the defeated army and retreat. The Roman legions attacking at the front were violently attacked.
unexpectedly, the artillery positions deployed on the flanks were attacked by Alexander's cavalry in a desperate attack.
Three artillery positions and two cavalry countercharges were broken in succession, so that the Russian army lacked the cover of cavalry and artillery, and suffered extremely high casualties during the retreat. According to statistics, in three battles, the Russian army suffered more than 6,000 casualties and more than 16,000 prisoners. 5
Nearly half of the Russian army was lost on the land from Kiev to Poltava.
In the same month, the old man Svyatos led the main force of 2 first-line Roman legions and 3 second-line Roman legions of about 35,000 people. A total of 144 cannons faced the converging rear reinforcements led by the famous Russian general Burkhard and the gathered defeated troops in Kiev.
22,000 men launched the siege of Kiev.
After several months of siege, during a siege operation, the old man Svyatos was injured and retreated from the front line, leaving Alexander to take command. At this time, the famous Russian general Peter Lacy led 20,000 Russian troops to relieve the siege.
The battle began and Peter Lacy was defeated, but because Burkhard launched a breakout in the city, Alexander could not pursue
Peter expanded the results. After the rescue failed, Burkhard continued to hold on until September when he opened the city and surrendered. In exchange, the Russian troops who had withdrawn from Kiev retained their weapons and retreated collectively to Minsk. From October to the present, the Russian troops
They all broke out in Minsk. It is said that even the Queen of Russia came to Minsk with her royal guards to boost morale.
The letter sent by Werner did not mention the number of Roman casualties. Naturally, I had no way of knowing the battle losses there. However, as the results of the Russian Eastern Front came, the Russians also did something to Prussia.
In response, according to Kuai Malai, Russia has sent a team of envoys in early December and is expected to pass through Poland in mid-December and arrive at the border of the Kingdom of Prussia in Newmark, and hopes that we will arrange a team of envoys.
The team was there to greet them.
Count Galen, who originally served as a receptionist at the court, is undoubtedly a very qualified candidate. We then decided that the young son of the Prince of Dessau would be the leader of the guard, so we sent this guard of more than 300 infantry to the border.
On December 17, the Russian envoy team had entered Berlin, and the horse that preceded them delivered the news to the palace.
Feletelia, who was in the palace, seemed a little embarrassed when she heard the news.
I said with relief: "Calm down, you are now meeting the so-called Russian envoy as a country's dignity."
Morris shaved his fingernails with a dagger and said with a smile: "I heard that the messenger is a woman."
"She is probably a woman with an unusual status." Constans complained beside him.
"Why is it unusual?" Feletelia asked.
Constans is here again: "Although there is nothing wrong with being escorted by Russians all the way to the Prussian border, why must they be escorted by Russians? When passing through Poland, wouldn't it be good for Poles to escort instead? In any case, I think it is best to
You better find out the details of that woman."
"A messenger who seems inconspicuous but who has a sensitive identity if you think about it carefully. This is a factor that can be exploited well. If this news is released, I don't think Karl XII and his group of important ministers would want to hear this.
News." I thought about it and decided to write to Werner in the evening and ask him to instruct Assassin to do this.
"But compared to why they sent a woman, I am more suspicious of the Russians' purpose of sending a woman."
It's a pity that Constans doesn't become a detective. I looked at Philetlia with a smile and said, "Maybe our Russian Queen needs a husband. Well, Prince of Prussia, go out to meet the female envoy.
