Chapter 46 The Duke of Vendome, the Four Famous Generals of the French Army I(1/2)

More than 3,400 cavalrymen rushed out of The Hague through calf-high water, followed closely by more than five infantry regiments, totaling more than 9,000 infantrymen.

Nearly 13,000 men, 10 6-pound guns, and 20 infantry guns. This is the largest force of the Netherlands in the only remaining land of the Netherlands and Zealand Province. It is also the largest force in this country with 600 soldiers.

The country with thousands of citizens is the last one that still retains an organized force, so it is naturally the force that the entire Netherlands can fight in the field in the next period of time.

As the commander of this force, I was under great pressure because many of the more than 10,000 people were defeated soldiers who were beaten by Prince Da Kongdai to the point of incontinence.

Fortunately, due to William's seizure of power, the military officers were replaced by a group of Dutch nobles who had followed the Orange family to fight against the French army as middle-level and grassroots commanders. Many mobsters who supported the Orange family were also recruited urgently.

Most of these people were given to William of Orange back then.

The people who hit daddy are veterans, even if they are forty or fifty years old, their combat effectiveness is still very impressive. In addition, thanks to the wealth of the Netherlands Army and their last defeat, there are many war horses in The Hague City. This is very important for

Very useful for our upcoming battle.

A total of more than twenty messengers were divided into four batches and ran to the cities around The Hague. According to the plan, these Dutch cities scattered near The Hague will send troops together to provide three troops for the battle to recapture Utrecht.

Four thousand people or even more troops.

"Enemy troops found ahead!"

The sea wall in The Hague was blasted, and the torrent rushed into the French army camp over several kilometers, with a huge momentum. However, because the French army was too far away from the sea wall, the damage suffered by the French army was actually very limited. After all, you can't expect only a few

The meter-high sea water killed tens of thousands of people. Although some people may drown in the sea water, the trouble caused by the sea water to the French army was more of scattering them rather than killing them, but this is enough for us.

!

"Cavalry, break through the enemy!"

After walking through the dilapidated French camp, French corpses were strewn across the field. However, more than a kilometer further back, scattered figures of the enemy gradually appeared in the distance in the dark night. More than 3,400 cavalrymen began to disperse. For

It is basically impossible for these cavalrymen of varying qualities to launch a wall-of-secret cavalry charge. However, they can still imitate the more scattered cavalry charge of the Middle Ages.[

"In the name of Almighty God! Thank you Almighty Lord for the torrent, let me glorify Him with this victory!"

“Glorify God!”

"Netherlanders, Dutchmen! Charge!!!"

Attacking the enemy's heart, this sudden torrent is incredible. We can completely blame God for this man-made behavior. This kind of behavior has long been used in Rome and even during the Crusades! What's more, Jesus' father had long ago

There are several criminal records in prehistory. As long as the French army believes that this is an act of God, then even the most elite French army will lose its will to fight. After all, people cannot fight against the sky. As long as the French army loses its will to fight, then we will

Weaken or even completely collapse the French resistance.

In the next more than two hours of fighting, the elite French troops who besieged The Hague were scattered in various places. Even if they blocked the assaulting cavalry, they were all defeated in front of the massive infantry behind them!

At nine o'clock in the morning, we trampled over the French army's camp, completely destroying the morale and organization of the French army after the flood. William of Orange called on the Dutch in The Hague to go out of the city to beat the drowned dogs and repair the dam.

"Give an order to the infantry officers, warning them to restrain their infantry! We must advance to Utrecht at full speed! On the way, we must break through Barendrecht, Alphen, Leiden and Bodhrafen-Lei

Wake, Horinchem, Sliderrecht, there will be enough French there for them to fight!"

As I said before, no matter how glorious our victory was at The Hague, if the French captured Utrecht, the French army would still have the strategic advantage. The Dutch army, which was small in number and had only a combat power of 5, would not be able to stop the French.

Therefore, there are only two ways to control the rotten situation in the Netherlands. Either dig another sea wall and submerge most of the Dutch province that is below sea level under the tide, or else only

One way to go is to capture Utrecht!

Ledeshendam-Vorborg was completely beaten by the French army and was nothing to worry about. Facing the Barendrecht, Alphen, Leiden and Bodhrafen-Rewek, which we deliberately abandoned, the

Linchem and Slidrecht, the two original defensive lines of the Dutch Army, would suffer a lot of losses even if they were attacked by force. However, how could we not have an internal response when we abandoned the city.

Since the situation in the Netherlands was precarious at that time, and we launched a declaration of seizing power similar to a rebellion before surrendering, after the French army took over the city, they really believed that the surrender was genuine, and they received it tolerantly.

Those who dedicated the city. So, in less than half a day and more than an hour, we planted the tricolor flag symbolizing the United Provinces of the Netherlands on the tops of these cities.

Faced with the petition of the Dutch for rest and repair, I overruled their proposal because we had received very important news that a group of well-dressed men, surrounded by a large number of cavalry, was heading to Utrecht.

, and at this time, cities in various places that responded to Orange's call sent troops.

There are more than 6,000 people, with more than 5,000 more to come!

There are more than 11,000 reinforcements, a little more than expected, but can these people be called an army?

Of course not, they can only be regarded as armed young men at best, in other words they are young cannon fodder.

If these more than 11,000 people cooperate with our men and pull them into a group fight, the French army in Utrecht will be defeated. At best, both sides will suffer losses. Then the French army will besiege Groningen, a province in the northern Netherlands.

The partial division sent the army south, and then there was no more...[

They couldn't defeat them by force, and the well-dressed cavalry team was obviously the escort of the French heir, the Duke of Anjou. Since the Duke of Anjou survived, would the Duke of Vendôme hang on the battlefield?

The enemy is already powerful enough, but with a famous general, the Duke of Vendôme, taking command, wouldn't it be even more difficult to defeat him?

"Phew! Next is the most critical moment!" Even a guy like me, who is in a big scene, can't help but get sweaty palms, but the sex maniac Saxophone and the devil Morris are still heartless.

"Kill, okay, where?" Morris, who had dreamed of a fun and exciting siege, was very disappointed. Originally, he thought there would be a warm-up match in the battle to retake the first two lines of defense.

"Hahaha. I haven't seen any big scenes. I was in Saxony with my Lao Tzu. Hundreds of German and expensive" women "did not scare me! Wow hahaha."

Well, Morris is a kind of "medicine" to save, but the guy Sax is more serious.

"Although I don't pay much attention to how to live with me, I still have to say, you are the person who I have seen the most" chaotic "person I have seen. Okay, I can only hope that you hook up with a woman’s woman now

The means are the same as your military command ability. "

I am a bit of the second, and I am still too young. Too nervous.

That's right. This time Sax will become the focus of the entire combat plan. In fact, it is still proposed by the Duke of Walter's Udele Subsida.

After the entire army will seize two lines of defense, it will keep moving towards Udele.

There are 18,000 people in total, and there are 6,000 reinforcements in the follow -up, but the key to winning Udelez this time is not a fierce attack, as I mentioned many times. We can't beat it!

Since it can't be played. The key to moving forward to Udelez is that I will bring two thousand cavalry and three infantry regiments a total of 8,000 people, that is, the Elite of the Republic of the United States of the United States, the Elite of the Republic of the United States, is forced to attack the army.

18,000 people can't beat it, and 8,000 people are fighting. Isn't that to find death?

The key to this repayment of Wallez is this.

Who is the Duke of Wangdom?

French celebrities, although not playing the enemy of Europe, are also very difficult to entangle enemies.

What's more?

Duke of Wangdom is also the Duke of the Frank royal family.

Then why did the Louis facial paralysis change on the Duke of Wangdorm after the Prince of the Great hole. Not others, such as more famous, and more fearful Trener?

Because he is obviously the youngest of the two major French marshals and the four major generals is the most loyal star to the sun king, so it is not difficult to see why Louis facial paralysis will give the Duke Anru, the French king of France to the Duke of Wan Domo

Delan Lai fish for a war.

Nowadays, the French army has been defeated, and Duke Wang Duke has not lost. This is nothing to him, but who let the French Army have a Duke of An Ru!

He was the first time he led, and he was also the commander -in -law of the French army in the name of the Three Army. More importantly, the Duke Anru was Louis XV of the King of Pharaoh in the future ... provided that he could live at that time.

Duke Anru will allow his life to fail for the first time?

Duke Wang Duke will return a bad news back to France, and then tell Louis XIV, it doesn't matter, we just died tens of thousands of people, Udelez is still in our hands, the Bathic is still in our hands

We can send tens of thousands of people to fight them next month?

Of course not!

The failure of the Hague city is just a tactical failure for the French Raiders Nidland. They are still in a very high -profile strategic advantage.

Said, it was an extremely serious failure! If the Duke Anru came to Japan to be ascended to Japan, this would be a stain of life, a stain that others were questioned for life! Unless he learned from the Roman royal family, he died in the battlefield, and he was a hundred, no, no, no

Waste food and pollute air.

However, the French royal court has never had such a strict tradition of "if you lose, you die". In other words, the most worrying thing for the Duke of Vendôme and the Duke of Anjou is not defeat, but the search for

An opportunity for the Duke of Anjou to escape the impact of this defeat became a shining point.

Then, I... and more than 8,000 Dutch people showed up.

If it were 250 generals, they would probably abandon the city and flee, just like the Austrian nobles.

If it were ordinary generals, they would probably stick to the city.

But now that he is facing a famous general like the Duke of Vendôme, he may have one more "sex". He can go out of the city to defeat or even annihilate the enemy!

Impossible?

The enemy's strength is only seven or eight thousand, but Utrecht has ten thousand!

Look at our group of people who came all the way from The Hague to Utrecht.

Very tired.

Apparently, they did not get any rest after the attack at The Hague. They tried to take advantage of the victory at The Hague to raid Utrecht and then recapture Utrecht. However, they did not know that the French army had 10,000 elite Dutch soldiers in Utrecht.

military.

In a sense, we have become a bird that has hit the muzzle of the gun. Considering that our group is already the last elite force and spiritual sustenance of the Dutch people, if we are defeated, the confidence of the Dutch people to persist in resistance will be lost.

It will fall sharply. Even if The Hague is defeated, the French army can still go back and capture that city. There is a high chance that the Duke of Vendôme will attack.

But wouldn't it be better to wait for the Duke of Luxembourg to lead his army back?

He was already waiting for work. Why did he wait for the Duke of Luxembourg to rescue the enemy who could obviously defeat him, and win the victory like this and give it to the Duke of Anjou. In the end, he took the responsibility for the defeat. This was a once-in-a-century favor. Why should he share it with others?
To be continued...
