When the main British army led by Ralph appeared faintly not far away, Manna knew that it was time to retreat, otherwise, the British army that rushed to the scene would probably have them thousands of French cavalrymen.
None of the scum left was left.
In the telescope, Ralph naturally saw the movement of the French army. When Ralph saw that almost all French cavalry were basically without infantry on the battlefield, Ralph exclaimed that something was wrong.
"Samalan! Take your people in immediately and drag the abominable French people tightly, and never let them run away!"
Ralph ordered, and Samaran, the commander of the 15th Cavalry Division of the British Army, roared, and then decisively blew the horn of the charge of the 15th Cavalry Division.
There is a military system different from Prussia. In other countries except Prussia, each army is still independently organized. For example, the French cavalry division is a special cavalry division. Of course, the cavalry division is also divided into breastplate cavalry and lancers.
There are also hunting cavalry, and infantry is naturally the integrated infantry division. Of course, the organization of these divisions is not very large. One cavalry division has about 5,000 people, while the infantry division has about 7,000 people.
Of course, as Prussia's biggest opponent, Austria has also learned from the Prussian army to a certain extent. At least one Austrian division has about 10,000 soldiers. Although there are not as many soldiers as a Prussian division, it is more than others
However, the national organization is much larger.
The five thousand cavalry under Samaran immediately drove the war horses under his crotch toward the French cavalry like arrows. Fortunately, because Mana's order was issued earlier, after the British cavalry launched the charge, the French cavalry
They were basically out of contact with the previous British army.
However, the cavalry of the First French Cavalry Division had been fighting for more than an hour, and the energy of both people and war horses was greatly damaged. Although the British had also consumed a lot of energy on the way to arrive.
, but it is much better than the French cavalry.
Although the war horse was running under his crotch, Manna still looked behind him from time to time. The British cavalry were chasing behind the French army, and some French cavalry with similar physical strength were gradually being gradually being slapped by the British.
People catch up and then kill them!
"Quick!.Hurry up! If we continue like this, the British will catch up without waiting for us to arrive at Beverren!"
Mana was yelling, but riding on the galloping horse, the sound of the hula wind obscured everyone's ears. How many people could hear Mana's shouting was really only known.
Fortunately, when the British cavalry were about to catch up, they only saw the British cavalry who were still chasing each other a moment ago, and suddenly gradually slowed down their horse speed. This certainly made Mana breathed a sigh of relief.
, but at the same time, Mana's heart was raised high.
According to Napoleon's plan, it was precisely to use this series of so-called failures to stimulate the British. This move not only allowed the French army to show weakness in front of the British. At the same time, it stimulated the British through a series of blows to the British army, so as to underestimate the enemy and
How could an angry British not fail?
But the key to this plan is that it must not be seen through by the British. As the first step at the beginning of the plan, Manna's performance is directly related to the success or failure of the entire French military combat plan!
When Mana saw the distance between him and the British gradually widened, and even the British stopped chasing, Mana gritted her teeth and shouted at the messenger beside him:
"Blow me the trumpet and order all the soldiers to turn back and attack the British there immediately!"
When the horn sounded, all the French cavalry were stunned. You should know that this place is not very far from Beverren. Even if you just run for a while, they can catch up with the two infantry soldiers who returned lightly before. division.
But now, Manna's order is to let them turn back and fight the British. You must know that the previous battle for more than an hour, plus the current nearly an hour of running around, nearly two hours have made everyone almost exhausted. When you go to fight with the British again, it is a matter of seeking death no matter how you look at it!
However, as the second-in-commander of the French army, that is, Napoleon, the French army's supreme commander, Manna's order was equal to the highest level of imperial edict, and everyone had only the responsibility to execute it but no right to resist.
It has to be said that the results of Napoleon's strict military governance were quite remarkable, at least at this moment. In the face of Manna's unreasonable order, no one dared to refute it, and all the French soldiers slowly slowed down. Horse speed, then re-formed the charge formation with Mana as the center.
Seeing the actions of the former Chinese from the telescope, Samaran suddenly felt incredible, and then when he saw that the French cavalry turned their horses and formed a battle formation, he felt ecstatic.
The reason why the British army slowed down was that it was because it was pursuing the French army for too long, which led to a disconnect between Samaran's army and the British army in the rear. In Ralph's view, the disconnect between the army was likely to cause unnecessary Therefore, under Ralph's order, Samaran gradually stopped.
Of course, this is not the only reason. The second reason is that the British cavalry are already a little overwhelmed. Unlike the French cavalry who fought from the battlefield, most of the British cavalry before coming to the European continent were Some civilians, after becoming cavalry, received only a few months of equestrian training.
Although several months can make these cavalry look like this, at least they are very pleasing to the eye and majestic, they are a bit unsatisfactory to use.
Although these British cavalry did not go through more than an hour of battle, with the time they arrived in Recht before, these cavalry had been bumping on the horse's back for nearly two hours. But it is not as comfortable as the cars of later generations. Anyone who rides a horse knows that even with the protection of a saddle, a novice will bump into the horse for half an hour and no layer of skin on the inner side of his thigh will be ecstasy ( Of course, what you refer to below is definitely not the kind of bumpy bump like a leisurely walk).
Even these trained cavalrymen could not be able to bump on horseback or even fight for a long time. Although many people dislike the Mongolians, they have to admit that in the era of Genghis Khan, the Mongolians were It is the spirit of hard work and not afraid of difficulties that conquer most of the world with the skillful equestrian practice he has trained since childhood.
"Prepare for the fight!"
Samarant shouted ecstatically, but the cavalry under his command did not think so. You should know that after receiving the order to stop chasing, a considerable number of British cavalry quickly stopped their horse speed and then jumped immediately.
The horse was removed from the war and moved its legs. Some of the cavalry who had been bleeding from the inner side of the thigh even took off their pants and stood naked on the side of the war horse.
At least when Mana's troops quickly turned the direction and formed a charge formation, some of the British cavalry were busy jumping on the war horses and looking for their own positions.
You should know that war horse charges, like tanks in later generations, have their own combat formations. If they rushed over like scattered, they would probably be eaten by the opponent before they could cause any turmoil. Therefore, in the cavalry in regiments, they would not be left.
In the formation, it is often arranged into different formations according to the division of labor of the cavalry.
For example, put the breastplate cavalry on the front line, and then the dragoons on both wings, while the hunting cavalry serves as the adhesive between the breastplate cavalry and the lancer. This formation not only takes into account the long-range lethality of the dragoons,
At the same time, using heavy cavalry like breastplate cavalry as the center can also use its own advantages to break through the opponent's defense line as soon as possible.
Of course, compared with the British army, the French cavalry has another advantage, that is, the French cavalry has a considerable number of breastplate cavalry. In the UK, because the breastplate cavalry is expensive, the breastplate cavalry under Samaran is quite good.
Few.
The war horses under the crotch of the French breastplate cavalry are also extraordinary. The war horses of these breastplate cavalry are all strong breeds in the Normandy area, and these breastplate cavalry are also big men over 1.8 meters tall.
, You should know that Napoleon was quite fond of the breastplate cavalry, so the breastplate cavalry in Napoleon's army were all selected from the entire army.
The sun shines on the French cavalry, especially those breast plaques. The exposed breast plaques that cover the entire front chest not only look majestic, but also make people feel scared under the support of the sun.
Taste. Samaran suddenly felt as if he had underestimated the French cavalry, or was it God who was joking with him? The enemy who had been chasing him for fear that he had been like a stray dog all day long was now launching towards him like a heavenly soldier descending to earth.
attack.
"The whole army charges!"
With a shout, the French First Cavalry Division launched a charge towards Samaran's troops, and at this moment, Samaran's troops had just completed the formation.
"Quick, keep your formation quickly and face the enemy's charge!"
With the same shout, Samaran gritted her teeth and shouted out the word "charge".
Life is wild. As the strongest armies on the battlefield before the firearms are perfected, the combat effectiveness of cavalry is never enough.
Thousands of cavalry charged towards each other, not only competing with the excellence of equestrianism but also competing with the physical strength of war horses. The savage collision has always been the winner as the king, and whether it is a man or a horse, it has always been
