Chapter 111 I threw down a bar of soap in combat
"Quick! Quick, get these pots and bowls to the car!"
In the Principality of Hildeberghausen, in the palace where Duke Hildeberghausen lived, a group of rough-and-tumble soldiers took away everything they thought was valuable.
The Duchess of Hildeberghausen burst into tears in the palace hall. The nobles who swore allegiance to the Duchy of Hildeberghausen could not do anything because they were treated by someone who was not as good as Hildeberghausen.
An even sadder fate for Duchess Sen.
The dirty hands of the mud-legged people they despised touched their clean bodies, and then took away everything of value from them.
"Untouchable! Untouchable! How dare you touch me...that's my gold pocket watch!"
"This is the engagement ring my fiancée left for me. You can't take it away, ah! You dare to hit me, you dare to hit me!!"
"That's my coat, do you even want a coat?"
"This is made of silk."
A nobleman was rudely stripped of their coat, and finally someone who could not bear to be so wronged started wailing in the hall with the Duchess of Hildeburghausen.
A fire was thrown into the palace of the Duchy of Hildeberghausen, and the fire gradually engulfed the entire palace.
The group of Hildeberghausen nobles who were driven onto the palace lawn were completely stunned.
The man's expression was dull, his clothes were messy, and his hair was a mess, as if he had been kicked by countless mud horses. The woman's expression was miserable, her eyes were desperate, and her back was extremely bleak, as if she had been dragged into a corner a moment ago and was used as a public toilet.
rice.
In this autumn with beautiful wind and clear sky, I crossed out the name of the Principality of Hildeberghausen from my list.
During the four days from September 22nd to September 26th, the Counties of Meiningen, the Duchy of Weimar-Eisenach, the Counties of Coburg, and Safeld participated in the Mecklenburg Allied Army.
Five different forces, including the Countate and the Duchy of Hildeberghausen, suffered the same fate.
Falling under the sabers of the Prussian cavalry, the entire country's wealth was mercilessly looted. The luxurious palaces built with the entire country's manpower and material resources were burned to the ground.
Counting the Duchy of Berk on the first day and the Duchy of Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg that followed, a total of seven duchies suffered.
What are the benefits of this?
Destroy the enemy's will to fight.
And because these counties are scattered on the Prussian side, coupled with my arrangements, our attack seems to have wandered around the map randomly, without revealing any future combat intentions.
Just a few kilometers after we left the Principality of Hildeberghausen, Moritz, who was in charge of the rear, sent someone up. The messenger had a strange look on his face: "Your Highness has a group of multinational coalition forces claiming to be from Lüzen.
The envoys want to see you, but they are not coming from the direction of Lützen, but from the County of Ravensburg."
The County of Ravensburg is more than 20 kilometers away from the Duchy of Hildeburghausen, and it was also a force that participated in the Prussian invasion.
"Those people want to see me?" The idiots in Lützen couldn't help it. I thought I would see them after a while. Although it was unexpected, I still said, "Bring them up."
"
The envoys of Lützen's Mecklenburg Allied Forces identified themselves as soon as they came up. They were the mouthpieces for the German nobles who had not suffered disaster for the time being but were afraid that they would suffer disaster soon. Those German nobles said that I was like this when others were not at home.
Next. wantonly ravage and trample on
It is immoral and ungentlemanly, and will be despised by the entire aristocratic circle. Since my behavior is shameful, and they are generous and kind, if I want to wash away my shame, they can give me a chance,
Hurry to Lützen for a decisive battle. Let’s compete.
Faced with such an accusation, which was clearly uneducated and had not experienced any human experience, I laughed out loud on the spot. I sarcastically said: "A group of bandits who recruited troops to invade Prussia at the same time that Prussia was leading troops to help Austria actually responded.
It’s really ridiculous to come here and accuse us of our behavior. Don’t you think so?”
The generals riding on one side laughed one after another, which embarrassed the envoys who came for a while. After we finished laughing, one of them shouted angrily: "Although we have invaded, we have not done anything like you."
Abhorrent acts of looting and arson.”
Faced with such a weak defense, I sneered: "Sir, what we are currently engaged in is a war. If you didn't expect this step, why did you invade our Prussia?"
"We just accepted the invitation!"
"If someone wants you to die, why don't you go?" Moritz caused another round of laughter on the other side.
They probably felt that they couldn't stand up in terms of reason, and the threat was not strong enough. A messenger came out and said: "The main purpose of our arrival is to beg you to stop such cruel behavior, and hope that you can issue your
Conditions, let us return to the battlefield and compete like gentlemen."
Pfft..
Those Prussians smiled so hard that their faces twisted.
In fact, I was speechless. Only someone who is so out of touch with reality would say something like this.
I stretched out my hand to signal the Prussian nobles not to laugh, and said, "If you want me to stop hostilities, I will only attack my enemies. You can go back and tell your masters that as long as they stop being hostile to Prussia, they will withdraw their troops."
Lützen, I will end my hostilities against them."
"This is impossible."
"Since it's impossible, then we have nothing to talk about. We will continue to burn what should be burned, and continue to rob what should be looted."
One of the enraged envoys threatened: "What you do to our territory, we will do the same in Prussia!"
Looking at the arrogant guy, I fired back: "You can try, whatever we lose in Prussia will be taken from you. If one territory is not enough, we will go to another territory to get it until we can make up for the lost wealth.
until."
That being said, I did not treat them equally when I invaded the territory of the Prussian Allied Forces. From the Principality of Burg to today's Principality of Hildeburghausen, they were all as small as only more than 100,000, or even 100,000 people.
A small force with less than ten thousand people. Burn
Even if their masters hate us and their will to fight is high, it will not have much effect. Who makes their numbers small? But the situation is different for those forces with greater strength. If they make them
It is very bad to have the thought of losing everything.
We need to work harder to get these small forces to surrender despite the difficulties.
"Someone, send these people back to Lützen."
The expressions of the envoys changed greatly, and the leader said: "Thank you for your concern. We will ensure our own safety."
The reactions of these envoys were very interesting. I waved my hand: "There has been a lot of turmoil here recently. I'm afraid that as soon as you go far away, my soldiers will rob you of all your money. So just in case, let us send you
You guys are on your way."
"No need! No need!"
"Why not? Could it be that you came out to contact us secretly without telling the people from Mecklenburg?" Eugene next to him immediately took a step forward. He was very excited, and so was I.
Looking at the embarrassed expressions of those "messengers", I really wanted to look up to the sky and laugh three times. The more true this is, the more I want to send these people back and sow discord between them.
After pulling out a cavalry company to send off these so-called envoys, I set the target of the next attack at a small country sixty kilometers away, sparing a large country along the way. As long as such a small country was captured
, I paved the way for my assault on the Principality of Mecklenburg.
I called Moritz up together, and facing the group of Prussian officers headed by Leopold, I said: "You led the cavalry and captured the counties in front. Don't rest, and immediately attack the Principality of Mecklenburg."
Moving forward. I estimate that Duke Mecklenburg
The country does not have any decent army. The two thousand five hundred cavalry are enough for you to sweep across the Principality of Mecklenburg. Just be wary of the return of the main force of the Principality of Mecklenburg. Once you discover the main force of the Principality of Mecklenburg, everything will
The most important thing is to preserve our strength.”
Regarding Eugene, whom I want to focus on training, I said: "Tonight, you will stay up day and night and lead Mustache to Dresden. I estimate that Saxony will take action on the west coast. Once it is discovered that the main force on the Saxon side has a direction,
With the signs of Lützen's movement, it's up to you to decide whether to raid the advancing team or attack Dresden. The four thousand men in the Mustache Regiment are veterans who have experienced several battles, and their shooting and fighting skills are good.
, we must make good use of this army."
After the division of troops, as for me, I will lead two foreign legions, the Saxon regiment and the Hessian regiment, with a total of 9,000 men in Lützen.
"Are you crazy?!" Hans shouted.
Am I crazy?
How come I don't know.
I looked at him inexplicably: "I'm not crazy."
Hans shouted angrily: "You're not crazy. Although Lu Cen transferred more than 14,000 people, there are still more than 20,000 troops there! It's more than our total strength. It's good for you that you actually arrived.
At this time, we need to divide our troops!"
"Why not? You see, those fools came to negotiate terms with me behind the Duke of Mecklenburg's back, but now I have pushed them back. I have planted a rift in the Lützen coalition. Now, I have sent the cavalry.
In the Principality of Mecklenburg, someone has to inform Mecklenburg.
This news about the Duke of Fort. The enemy probably already knows that our strength this time is three foreign legions and more than 3,000 cavalry, but I showed up in Lützen with only two regiments of troops. So what do you think of Lützen’s enemies?
Have you ever wondered where the other group went?"
Yes, there was another group of more than 4,000 people. Where did they go?
Went to Mecklenburg?
Or went to Dresden?
"Don't you think the Mecklenburg men are going to attack you?!"
"I've thought about it!"
"Then you still divide your troops?"
"Why not separate?"
