Yes. The final exam will be on the 15th, and normal updates will resume on the 17th...

The conversation between the two girls was not over yet, but I quietly backed away because Pennywise was right, no matter how important emotional matters are, they are far less important than fighting. It is better to defeat the French army first and then think about other things.

Yes, if we lose the battle, let alone marry Philetria, it is hard to say whether we can maintain the previous results. Moreover, the battle with the French army and the Hessian Duke is not just about ensuring the results and marrying Philetria.

Telia is so simple.

The army set off early the next morning. According to the map, there is still more than 60 kilometers to go from the small town of Oschersleben where we are now to the border area between the Principality of Braunschweig and the Principality of Hesse. If we work harder,

We can arrive at the border of the Principality of Braunschweig and the Principality of Hesse in the evening.

According to the reports of the Assassins, the French army had moved to the station two days ago and returned from the border of the Principality of Hesse to Kassel, the central capital of the Principality of Hesse. This group of Frenchmen who provoked a multi-national siege of Prussia obviously sent spies to attack Prussia.

Our movements were investigated, but it seems that they were not clear about our progress.

To attack the target, the French army stopped moving in Kassel, but once we appeared at the border of the Principality of Hesse, the French army was able to rush in front of us within the next few hours and block our way. For some reasons

, the Hessen Princess still did not move, and continued to besiege their city.

However, I don’t want to fight the French army as soon as I arrive at the border of Brunswick and the Principality of Hesse. In that case, I will place my hope on defeating the French army first, and then I can use my hands to adjust my troops to deal with the Duke of Hesse*

*, although we must first concentrate our superior forces to defeat the method

The army sounds very good. But the Hessian army has more than 30,000 people, more than the French. In case there are too many casualties in the process of dealing with the French army, and then they encounter the Hessians who have newly entered the battlefield and are full of morale.

Mr. Mori**, whether victory can be guaranteed is still unknown.

For this march, as an experienced general in the army, Prince Dessau is the most suitable candidate to serve as the commander of the seven Prussian infantry regiments and three artillery companies in the vanguard. I believe that with his rich military experience and the Roman chasseurs

The fighter planes were able to be captured. Walking in the middle were the Fifth Spartan Legion, the Saxon Regiment, the Mustache Infantry Regiment, and the Prussian Cavalry. Most of the artillery was between the Prussian Infantry Regiments. The Hessian Regiment stayed behind.

and the Prussian Infantry Regiment.

Since nearly 50,000 people were on the road this time. More than 40 infantry battalions and nine cavalry regiments with a size of 5,000 were arranged in a column formation. The vast army could not be seen to the end. If I hadn't been there,

Prepare to divide the army and move the front

The command of the front line was given to the Prince of Dessau. He also had Constans, who had a good memory, as the commander on duty, and Schwerin, who was familiar with the numbers of the Prussian regiments, as his adjutant. Hippias took care of the rear group. It was my first time to command such a large scale.

The army really may not be able to cope with it.

As time went by, the clouds in the sky became thicker and thicker. At three o'clock in the afternoon, when we gradually approached the border of the Principality of Braunschweig, the air in Braunschweig seemed to be stagnant, almost making people feel uncomfortable.

I was out of breath. The long march and waiting made me impatient, but I knew that there would soon be many emergencies that I needed to deal with.

I occupied a high ground and opened the map. I carefully observed the terrain with a telescope to see if the information provided by the map was consistent with reality. At this time, the pocket watch in my hand had only passed a quarter of an hour, and I sent someone to urge the artillery in the rear to speed up.

When the speed caught up, a fast horse quickly ran up ahead.

Coming!

"Our outpost discovered a small group of enemy cavalry!"

The messenger on the fast horse conveyed the information from the front line to me and quickly turned around and left. Here Constans frowned while looking at the map: "We are still nearly twenty years away from the capital of Brunswick.

According to the normal warning range, our contact with the cavalry of the Principality of Hesse will only be five kilometers away."

I looked at the backs of the messengers getting smaller and smaller in front and asked, "So?"

"The Hessian prince in Brunswick must have received a notice from the French army, so he expanded the scope of his investigation." Constans said with great certainty.

"I suggest that we send cavalry to cut off the retreat of the Hessian Dukes from the left, preventing them from returning south to join the French army, and forcing them to retreat to Hanover in the northwest."

I turned around and saw that it was Eugene looking down at the map and talking.

"Not a bad idea." I nodded and approved Eugene's idea, but before issuing the order, I looked at the map and then observed the terrain in the southwest. I asked Schwerin, "Count Schwerin, considering the Hessian

With the fighting power of the people and the French army, how many Prussian infantry battalions do you think can hold the road leading to Hesse through the villages and woods for one to two hours?"

"Two infantry regiments and corresponding artillery."

Combining the ideas of Schwerin and Eugene, I dispatched three Prussian infantry regiments and two artillery companies of the Chinese Army to the southwest road that might allow the Hessian Dukes under the city of Brunswick to return to Hesse, and

We also set the assembly point for the central and rear troops about ten kilometers below the city of Brunswick, in a small town called Westcote, only a few kilometers away from us.

Five kilometers. At the same time, the order I gave to the Prince of Dessau was that once the Hessians retreated to the south, do not be reluctant to fight, and quickly penetrate to the north of the Hessians, and then close up. The reason why I did not send cavalry was

Because the cavalry is not suitable for this kind of execution, even if the cavalry can reach the location quickly, what if a worse emergency occurs later?

"Three infantry regiments were deployed between Wolfenbütt and Salzgitter to block the Hessians' return south, but the main force was deployed in Sikot, which was far away from the Hessians returning south, just a few steps away.

Road, we have just walked there, do you want to deliberately expose a flaw so that the Hessians can dig into the pocket?" Eugene said after looking at my arrangement.

"It depends on whether the Hessians will be fooled or not."

"It should be possible." Eugene was very sure.

Schwerin also nodded.

The other side had been watching us pointing at the map and gesticulating for a while, then the dumbfounded Feletelia asked: "Why?"

"Your Majesty the Regent of Prussia, because the Hessians have been alert for a long time. If I were a French general, and since I have informed the Hessians to be alert, my next step should be to ask them to quickly evacuate towards me after discovering the enemy.

.Now our main force stays in the west

Kurt, the forward is preparing to move north again, seemingly to cut off the Hessians' path to the northwest. The main force will enter Brunswick after driving the Hessians away, and the Hessians will also run westward and

Take these two roads to the southwest. So, the Hessians would go to the southwest."

"But what if the enemy goes west?" Philetria asked again, but this question was asked to me.

"Then we can bite them hard."

The journey of more than ten kilometers was more or less. As soon as our main force stopped at Sikot, the rumbling sound of artillery shelling showed that the Prince of Dessau on the front line had already started fighting with the Hessians.

After a while, messengers kept coming to tell me.

When the Prince of Dessau's troops launched an attack on the Hessians, after a buffer of more than ten kilometers, the Hessians completed their reorganization and sent a small force to the southwest. It seemed that they were really trying to withdraw to Kassel and follow them.

The French army merged. Not long after, we could see the Hessians launching a small tentative attack on the Prussian infantry regiment stuck in the southwest in West Cote.

When the Hessians launched their attack, Prince Dessau had already led the forwards to block the north. He did not deploy his infantry columns into horizontal formations, but directly used the infantry columns to launch a fierce attack.

The reason why I put the Prince of Dessau in the forward position is because of his rich experience. It seems that he knows very well that the Hessians have no intention of fighting, so he does not waste time on developing a horizontal team. But this is not the end.

The main reason why I placed the Prince of Dessau in the front and arranged the marching order of the army as it is now.

With an experienced veteran like the Prince of Dessau as the vanguard, no matter whether the front line encounters fierce resistance or an enemy surprise attack, I can quickly mobilize the mustache regiment that can barely be called an elite to defeat the enemy.

All the beards are done

If you don't do it, the war will be unfavorable. At this time, you can rectify the troops on hand, use the Prussian cavalry to block the enemy, and then build a position around the artillery to resist, or use the Fifth Spartan Legion to cooperate with the cavalry to launch a fierce counterattack, from one side

Break the enemy.
