Chapter 127 Battle of Boknam: Right Wing
Less than an hour after the war started, the French left wing made great progress. As the Prussian officers' control over the soldiers in hand-to-hand combat was reduced to the lowest point, through hand-to-hand combat, the French army used 34 infantry companies, a total of nearly 2 infantry battalions.
In this way, 2,000 men forced back a Prussian infantry regiment.
Defeating 3,500 people with 2,000 people sounds good, but obviously this is not the best result of the French army. If it were not for those three volleys, the French army could launch another powerful attack to expand the results and defeat Bokenham.
Another Prussian infantry regiment on the right was involved in the battle. However, due to the heavy casualties of the French army on the front line, the French army was attacked by the volleys and volleys of the 19 infantry companies on the front line of the second Prussian infantry regiment.
Amid heavy artillery fire, they had to retreat temporarily.
This retreat did not achieve much results on the French right wing, because it withdrew prematurely, which resulted in the French infantry regiment behind the right wing failing to take over the baton from the former and launch a powerful attack on the Prussians.
, shattering their will to fight and giving the withdrawn Prussian infantry regiment time to reorganize.
But the Prince of Dessau wanted more.
"Your Highness, Prince of Dessau, sent me here to tell you that please send two infantry regiments up. He will launch a counterattack and regain the lost position! Maintain the original front!"
The messenger from the Prince of Dessau came over and told me that the front line needed support.
I took a look at the battle situation on our left wing and then said: "Tell Prince Dessau that I sent him two infantry regiments, but they are not for him to counterattack. Just say that I want him to use his right wing to block the French army."
The army launches a fierce attack in the next round, and then retreats a certain distance. Remember, never counterattack! He can just carry out his defense!"
The French left wing's fierce attack on our right wing caused us to lose a lot of positions. Whether it was to strengthen the defense or counterattack to seize space, Prince Dessau needed people. But I didn't want Prince Dessau to fight against France at the disadvantage of the Prussians.
It's a matter of human superiority. If you lose your position, you'll lose it. It's not a fatal thing anyway.
"Prince Dessau, you want to engage in a war of attrition with the French." Constans said after the messengers left.
"Why, do you think it's inappropriate?"
"No, I think this is the most reliable way for us to win." Constans shook his head.
Eugene interjected at this time: "But the French general on the opposite side is not a simple figure. He uses the terrain on the right side of the narrow terrain to contain our superior forces, and then launches a fierce attack. If we are not careful, we may face a huge loss in strength.
The French have a lot of people, but they can’t spread the situation.”
"Hey, Frenchman, I know the consequences of that! I just think this is more stable!" Constans raised his eyebrows as if he was dissatisfied with Eugene's attitude.
"Are you two going to have an internal conflict here?" I blocked Eugene's mouth before he could speak. Eugene's French identity can be said to be his fault for being here with us, but this is better.
In this way, he can hold my thigh tighter, "Villeroy
The Duke is not an easy opponent. If you are still bickering here and wasting time, it will only make it more difficult for us to win this battle. Constans, you go and carry out my order immediately, Eugene, you go and give
Let me see if the French troops have made any moves on the left wing."
The Duke of Villeroy is not a simple opponent. He will use the narrow terrain from the right to make up for his military disadvantage. Use [White Lion] an infantry regiment with more than 2,000 people to contain the three infantry regiments on our side of the battlefield.
From these two points, it can be seen that the Duke of Villeroy, one of France's four famous generals, is indeed worthy of his reputation, even if he is at the bottom of the rankings.
It's not that I haven't thought about the Prince of Dessau's desire to engage in a war of attrition. However, the word war of attrition is exactly what it sounds like. Even if we fight this battle, we will have to break our muscles and bones. At that time, how can we fight?
Saxony, what capital does Philetria have to threaten Cheap Daddy?
Then let me be the King of Prussia. So even if the Duke of Villeroy is a little bit more difficult to chew, he will not fall into a passive position in the entire strategy just because he won this tactical victory. And don’t forget, we are in this game.
They took the initiative in the battle. They had a very large troop advantage. By the time
So far, the French army has mobilized more than 50 infantry companies on the left and right wings, and two infantry regiments have been deployed in the center. They have pressed up more than 10,000 troops, excluding the ten cavalry regiments that made me fearful.
With such six thousand cavalry, the French army only had five infantry regiments left.
The troops are ready! As for me, in addition to the seven infantry regiments of Prince Dessau and the mustache regiment, I also have thirteen infantry regiments and eight cavalry regiments, a reserve of nearly 30,000 people. Even Prussia
I can't compare with the French in hand-to-hand combat. I'm still sure of winning, and a big victory.
You know, the Duke of Villeroy is not without flaws!
The reorganization and reorganization of the battle made the right wing quiet for a while, but not long after, the French left wing launched a larger charge. The Duke of Villeroy probably saw the reinforcements I sent and wanted to attack them before the reinforcements arrived.
Defeat the two infantry regiments of the Prince of Dessau's right wing.
The war started with just a piece of news. Each of our two sides mobilized more than tens of thousands of troops, and only about four to five thousand people actually entered the battle. The Prussian nobles on the right fought tenaciously, and by the way, the soldiers led by them also had to
They became tenacious. But even so, the huge difference in the quality of the soldiers still made the two infantry regiments choose to retreat under the fierce attack of the French army.
"Prince Dessau's right wing has been repulsed!" Eugene's voice was panicked.
In the billowing white smoke, the retreating flag of the Kingdom of Prussia was very conspicuous. The retreating Prussian infantry gathered in small groups next to the officers. There were still people to carry the infantry cannons. The situation was not too bad. This was a retreat, and
Not a rout.
I asked: "How long ago did we issue the order for two infantry regiments to support the Prince of Dessau?"
"Seventeen minutes ago!" Constans replied.
"How long will it take to arrive?"
"It's expected to take about 15 minutes! What should I do in these 15 minutes?"
"Prince Dessau, he has to send an infantry battalion from the army to stabilize the defense line! In order to reorganize the retreating right wing! Do you want to send cavalry?" Eugene shouted in the face of the French army's continuous expansion of victory, "Send cavalry to stabilize the line.
Stay on the right wing and center! Buy time for Prince Dessau to rearrange his front!"
I was about to open my mouth when someone held my hand, and I saw a girl whose face was pale because of nervousness.
"Are we going to lose?!" Feletelia seemed to be crying.
"How is that possible!" I laughed and knocked on Eugene, who made him scream so loudly. "Next time you report the situation, please lower your voice."
"I also agree with the dispatch of cavalry. Although the French army repulsed the right wing of the Prince of Dessau, the French at this time were already exhausted. Before their follow-up troops arrived, our cavalry was about the size of five cavalry regiments.
We can suppress the French army's results on the right wing! We can even use the cavalry as the vanguard, and then let the two infantry regiments coming up behind and the original two infantry of the Prince of Dessau cooperate with the cavalry to counterattack!" Schwerin suggested at this time
.
"Counterattack, attack where? The right wing? The French only need an infantry regiment to cooperate with their artillery to block our offensive. At that time, our counterattack is suppressed, and the French army can take advantage of the chaos to launch a cavalry charge and sweep us from the left wing in one fell swoop.
The whole army is here.”
"Then what should we do?" Eugene asked.
I smiled and turned to look at a friend next to me.
Well…
Where are people?
"Where is Maurice?"
"I don't know..." Constans was also puzzled, "That lunatic was just here shouting that he was bored!"
"I know where that adult is." Alexei pointed his hand back, and sure enough we saw a strong man squatting on the ground with his back to us and not knowing what he was doing.
"What is he doing?"
"It's not clear, and it's best not to figure it out."
"Okay, Leon, go and call Maurice over! Just tell him, it's time for him to kill someone!"
As soon as he heard that someone could be killed, Maurice sneaked over and said: "Hahahaha! We Romans don't ask how many enemies there are, only where they are! I, Maurice, never ask how many enemies there are.
, Nikis, say, which way do you want me to kill you from?! Do you want to break through from the front, or charge from the flanks, do you want to give me the Fifth Spartan Legion, or all the cavalry?"
"See, I'm pointing to Prince Dessau's right wing, which is being reorganized in front, and I'll give you the Fifth Spartan Legion..."
"A Fifth Spartan Legion? Wow haha! Not to mention breaking through the French army, there is no problem even taking the head of the Duke of Villeroy!"
I haven't finished speaking yet.
"Listen, you only have one infantry battalion, and your order is to help Prince Dessau stabilize his flank line. If he can't hold that line, then we will be in big trouble, you know what!!
trouble!"
"It's only one battalion, and it's still infantry, you stingy guy! Forget it, I'm too lazy to tell you! Let's go, Romans, follow me and kill people!! Hahaha! I'm impatient!" Maurice took out his saddle.
He raised his saber high, let out a roar that only a lunatic could resonate with, and ran out with his guards.
"Leon, send a few people to protect this guy. If he goes crazy, even his grandfather will chop him with a knife." I wasn't sure about Morris's lunacy, so I turned around and asked Leon to find some agile men for Morris.
shield.
"Commander, send Maurice out. Isn't it because the water far away can't save the fire nearby?" Eugene wondered.
