. otbnkotgt After that, the Imperial Army attacked from the east and west and broke the coalition into two halves.
After this, General John Churchill finally regained some composure.
He reluctantly gathered some of his troops, and then reorganized to the south.
After completely abandoning most of his troops, he barely organized a new line of defense.
Seeing the information here, William felt incredible, even quite magical.
The war had already reached that stage, and the other side was actually able to save the situation.
Although it was impossible to successfully counterattack against the odds, at least he was able to save some of his troops.
With his efforts, about 10,000 to 20,000 coalition soldiers worked hard to stabilize their positions and barely managed to survive the stormy wave-like offensive.
After several rounds of attacks and finding that too many losses were needed to achieve victory, His Majesty Emperor Kalman IV decided to abandon the attack on this army.
The imperial army only left a few troops to guard these orderly troops, while more of the remaining troops went south to attack other, disorderly coalition troops.
The Imperial Army has won.
What we have to do now is not to expand the results of the victory, but to swallow the part of the spoils that we already have.
That's good.
Some of the troops to the south were not led by a commander as good as John Churchill.
Nothing was done after being suddenly attacked and the line completely cut off.
Although many infantry and cavalry companies are still fighting very hard to resist, this kind of resistance without order and integration is almost meaningless and will be crushed easily.
That was it, and the fighting ended by the end of the day, with more than thirty thousand Union soldiers either killed or captured.
Coupled with the troops lost in previous battles and the third front that was almost completely wiped out, the coalition lost nearly 50,000 troops.
Although it was close to saying that the entire army was wiped out, this degree far exceeded the heavy losses.
In addition to the losses in personnel, there were also losses in weapons, equipment, and logistical supplies.
On the one hand, hundreds of artillery pieces were lost, as well as two to three thousand flintlock muskets, a large amount of weapons and ammunition, food supplies, etc., etc., each day Any loss can be heartbreaking If William were to tell him which loss was the most heartbreaking, then William would definitely choose the hundreds of train cars and dozens of locomotives stored in a train station not far from the battlefield.
But this The most advanced technology of the era.
William now wants what the train wants.
But his factory still does not have the ability to produce trains.
And although it is said that railways are to be developed, railways and so on.
But there is still a long way to go before the Hereford family can produce its own locomotives.
In fact, even if a locomotive can be produced reluctantly, its quality cannot be guaranteed.
Even if the quality improves, the high-quality steel required for the materials cannot be guaranteed.
High-quality steel can be guaranteed, but high-power steam engines cannot.
High-power steam engines can produce, but precision lathes cannot.
Precision lathes can, but industrial machines cannot.
All in all, this is a complete set of industrial production systems.
If you want to produce qualified trains, you need to upgrade the Hereford family's industrial system.
"So, it's so difficult."
William felt a headache when he thought of this.
At the same time, I started thinking about a problem.
The Hereford family, perhaps, should, really need to seriously consider taking sides.
After the Imperial Army's victory, the coalition's 60,000-strong army lost nearly 50,000.
The entire Franconia is already under the imperial military front.
General John Churchill was very smart, but also very unloyal, and simply gave up Franconia, led his army north, and returned to Lotharnia.
According to William's judgment, he may not even be able to defend Lotharingia, and may withdraw to the north of Lotharingia at any time.
Compared with the chaos of southern Lotharingia, the Frisian region is the kingdom in the north.
Really important areas.
General John Churchill and the remnants of his defeated army lived in panic in Lotharnia.
However, the emperor had no intention of marching in now and catching them all.

In the Battle of Franconia, the Imperial Army also suffered heavy losses.
The loss of nearly 20,000 troops also made the emperor feel very sad.
It is conceivable that it will take a long time for the Imperial Army to regroup.
At the same time, during this process, His Majesty the Emperor set his first strategic goal in Franconia.
After learning that the Imperial Army had won, the Duke of Bern made a prompt decision and expanded the army to three regiments and nearly 5,000 troops. and marched towards Franconia as quickly as possible.
At the same time, the leading troops of the Imperial Army also entered Franconia.
The Franconians, who had lost almost their entire army in the battle, could no longer resist the emperor's army.
Prince Henry, who fled back to Munich, was as decadent as his namesake King Wende the month before.
That's it, in the first round of the war, this prince became the second guy to be eliminated.
"What will happen next?"
William thought: "Will the emperor occupy the entire Franconia or support new puppets to control this country?
In any case, this country is completely finished.
Franconia, Lotay Ernia, the Wende Ostrogothic Empire is indeed like a voodoo jar, as people say.
But who will win in the end?
Is it me, His Majesty the Emperor, or someone else that no one can think of?
third party" That's it, after reading the entire document sent by the Cheka agents, William didn't know what to say for a while.
It was clear that the coalition had the advantage from the beginning to the end.
They have more regular armies, more new armies, more elite troops, more cavalry, and more new artillery.
They steadily expanded their forces step by step at the beginning, middle, and late stages of the campaign.
Advantages.
Then they lost.
To put it in simpler terms, the coalition forces felt that they had a great advantage.
The coalition forces passed a, and the coalition forces played gg amidst laughter and laughter.
That's pretty much it.
The defeat of the coalition forces brought a series of impacts, but there is no need to say that much at the moment.
The last thing William really takes warning from now is that he must be careful in the next war.
The southern part of the empire is mostly hilly and even mountainous.
The Imperial Army relied on these terrains to complete tactical detours.
And then successfully won the war.
This also shows that although the weapons and equipment of the two sides are different, they are not large enough to allow the side with the advantage to easily win the war.
His Majesty the Emperor's victory was a wake-up call to William.
"Then, some people should be unable to sit still."
William thought in his heart, and then passed the report on casually.
Under his command, Duchess Freya, his wife Chalumi, and other senior officers from Hereford gathered together.
Discussions are ongoing as to where the Russian Kingdom of the Hereford family should go.
"Perhaps, we should quickly have a showdown with His Majesty the Emperor."
A senior officer said slightly worriedly: "After occupying Franconia, Kalman IV's alliance has spanned the entire southern part of the empire.
He can easily , swept across Lotharnia like the last imperial civil war, and then, I don’t think Archduke Christian of Jutland was able to stop the imperial army.
In this way, the civil war part of this war came to an end. ” "What about the Britons?"
William looked at him with interest and then asked.
"In the last imperial civil war, the Britons failed to support the Lorraine family in Lotharnia, and then they stopped taking action.
So after the Salian family was defeated this time, they should also choose to retreat.
"The officer said uncertainly.
"Well, what do you think, William."
King Otto, who was sitting in the first position, pondered uncertainly, and then looked at William.

"What do I think?"
William shook his head: "If this war is really just a civil war in the empire, then the above judgment is not wrong.
The problem is not like this."
“That’s not the case” "Yes," William nodded: "Abandoning one Lotharnia and giving up the entire empire are two completely different concepts.
Unlike the last imperial civil war, this time, the Britons did everything they could to All the trump cards used were brought up, not only.
It is the Salian family, as well as the Grand Duchy of Jutland, the remaining forces of Lotharnia, and the several small states in the north-central part of the empire, Brandenburg, Magdeburg, and Lunenburg.
The forces that supported Briton overtly and covertly were all revealed openly.
This is a decisive battle.
Even if it is a short-term defeat, even if there is a small loss, the Britons will never back down.
Because once they retreat, it means that the entire Ostrogothic Empire will be fully integrated by Kalman IV.
The power of a true, nearly complete empire would pose a huge threat to the hegemony of the Britons.
Therefore, the Britons will never back down.”
After William finished speaking, the surrounding generals and senior officers nodded continuously.
Many of these senior officers came out of William's crash course as an officer.
Everyone, including William's attendant Little John, was very convinced of William.
"Besides."
William's tone softened a little: "Besides, the Britons are not unable to fight anymore."
He said: "They still have enough money, and they still have enough wars.
Potential.
As long as conditions permit, they can spend several times more money than they do now to fund the current Protestant alliance and form an army of 100,000 to fight against Kalman IV.
If this 100,000-strong army is defeated by the emperor again, they can organize another 100,000 people.
The war potential of the Britons is very high, terrifyingly high.
Remember this, my generals, we are dealing with the most terrifying industrial nation in the world.
It can even be said that it is the only opponent in the world that meets the concept of an industrial country.
In the face of such a country, we cannot pay too much attention to it.
Please keep this in mind” 160420oshow7:
