Seeing a large number of lancers, like moths flying to a flame, they were knocked down by the opponent's volleys of muskets, or they slammed into the opponent's super long spears, and were poked with bloody holes. otbnkotgt "Retreat, retreat."
Seeing this scene, Freya quickly issued an order.
Of course, it did not mean that the entire army retreated, but that the cavalry and the infantry units preparing for follow-up were required to retreat.
However, during this process, the opponent's commander A corresponding order was also issued "Cavalry, pursue."
In the opposing array, two light cavalry regiments stepped out in response.
At the same time, the Hereford family's infantry began to retreat.
However, the lancer troops were entangled by the opponent's cuirassiers and could not escape.
In this situation, Freya was at a loss.
She didn't know what to do now.
For a moment, she wanted to order the soldiers to turn back and line up again to fight the opponent.
The next moment, she felt that it would be better to withdraw the army and regroup.
But then, she felt that more troops should be sent to assist.
She hesitated like this.
But the other party's commander had no intention of waiting for her to make a decision.
That's it.
While one cuirassier unit entangled the lancers and couldn't get away, another cavalry regiment, supported by artillery bombardment, rushed straight towards the infantry unit, which had little preparation and was still retreating.
Then there was a bloody storm.
"It's wrong to order the cuirassiers to attack, and it's wrong to order the artillery to support and fire.
It's wrong to order the infantry troops to hold on, and arrange a hollow square formation.
No, let them withdraw.
No, hold on, let them hold on."
Seeing that her own troops suffered a defeat, Freya became even more panicked.
Many answers ran through her mind.
But in the end nothing was said.
The adjutants and chiefs of staff beside her were also very anxious for a while.
She wanted to urge Freya, but she didn't dare to speak due to discipline.
Seeing that the opponent's subsequent infantry units have followed up.
But there was nothing we could do.
On the battlefield, more than a dozen companies of the vanguard have been cut into pieces.
Several companies were directly overwhelmed.
The remaining troops were massacred.
Several companies also turned around, threw grenades, and then raised their bayonets and guns and launched a charge.
There were still a few companies that insisted on retreating, and a few companies began to deploy hollow square formations.
Seeing that no further instructions were received from the commander, the company captains of each company did their own thing based on their own experience and mentality.
They were about to be divided and surrounded by the enemy's superior forces.
"Damn" Freya came back to her senses at this time.
Want to give orders.
But no matter how you look at it, it seems like it’s too late.
At the same time, in the imperial army's array, forward commander Franz had met William alone in the Frisian region before that.
The old knight who was severely ridiculed showed a reserved smile: "Sure enough, I'm a newbie."
"Congratulations, General.
The empire attacks the rebellion of the Hereford family.
The first victory in this battle will be achieved under your command."
Next to Franz, several adjutants praised him without words.
"It's nothing.

The opponent's commander is a novice.
Such a victory is nothing at all."
Franz said modestly: "What I defeated was not William von Hereford.
It was not even the famous Hereford family.
A general.
It really doesn't matter," he said.
But the happy expression still revealed his true inner thoughts.
Furthermore, when he looked at the generals around him who usually looked down on them, the high-ranking aristocrats who came to gild them, he was also quite pleased with them.
"Too humble, General, you are so humble."
The adjutants continued to flatter him: "Even if it is really William von Hereford commanding, I'm afraid it won't be much better than this.
After all, the Hereford family It’s just a nouveau riche.
It looks scary, but if you really break the skin, it’s nothing.”
"Yes, Otto von Hereford may still have some abilities.
But he is under house arrest by his son.
He is not on the battlefield at all now.
Without that guy, the army of the Hereford family would not be able to do anything. storm."
"That's what you say, but you have to be careful.
His Majesty King William is called the first general of the new era."
Someone beside him said this half-jokingly, which naturally aroused a burst of laughter from people.
Laughter.
"What's so great about the first general of the new era training such a troop?"
"You blew so hard, you're not beaten until you pissed your ass off."
"The Hereford family's army is nothing more than that.
Nothing to be surprised about."
That's pretty much it.
Seeing that our own troops have gained the upper hand, the follow-up infantry units have joined the battle, dividing the enemy and annihilating it in sight.
These imperial nobles and generals all smiled happily.
He said something that disparaged the Hereford family and praised the emperor and General Franz.
At the same time, he fantasizes about how much credit he will be able to share after this war is over, and what kind of rewards, political privileges, and benefits these credits can bring.
It was at this time that the artillery of the Hereford army roared at the target again, which was the entangled troops of the two armies.
It stands to reason that if the two sides are entangled, they should stop the artillery bombardment.
But now it seems that General Franz's opponents do not know the rules as well as most people think.
"What the hell is this doing?"
Under the surprised gazes of Franz and a group of imperial noble officers.
The fierce bombardment from the artillery group stunned the troops in the center of the battlefield.
Then came the last burst of artillery fire.
The cuirassiers of the Hereford family's third legion launched a fierce charge from two directions.
On one side, several companies were holding on to form a hollow square formation.
On the other side, there was a melee between the lancers and the enemy cavalry.
Place.
These two charges instantly disintegrated several companies of Imperial infantry and cavalry.
Let the battle situation move in the direction beneficial to Hereford's army.
At the same time, after receiving the order, the Hereford family troops in the melee began to reorganize.
Several companies within the attack range of the cavalry arranged hollow phalanxes, and each company within the attack range of the infantry formed three rows of dense phalanxes.
A counterattack began.

"Asshole, why is this happening?"
On the opposite side, General Franz was a little surprised and even more angry.
Seeing that the piece of meat next to his mouth suddenly turned into bones, he felt very sick now.
At the same time, he also understood one thing, that is, the enemy commander standing opposite him might have changed.
The person who was replaced was probably William von Hereford, who had mocked him so much before that he could hardly get off the stage.
"Really, it turns out to be like this."
At the same time, the headquarters of the Third Guards of the Hereford family.
Freya looked guiltily at William, who had taken over her command.
Yes, William was the one who issued the order decisively and turned the situation around.
And now, he began to direct the battle in Freya's place.
Seeing William's face calm, he conveyed a series of orders in an orderly manner.
The entire command center started to operate, and Freya felt her face getting hot.
Before, she thought war and commanding operations were no big deal.
But now, reality has taught her a lesson.
Things were not as simple as she imagined.
Before, he vowed in front of William that he would definitely win a beautiful victory, but now it seems like he is telling a fairy tale.
Seems very ridiculous.
Although I have read many books on war before, including the latest various infantry, cavalry and artillery drills.
But now it seems that the distance between theory and reality is still quite far.
If you want to truly become a commander who can act independently, you still need to work harder.
"Don't think too much.
Relax."
William looked at Freya calmly, and then said: "Continue to command the battle."
"Hey, continue to command."
"Yes, continue to command."
William said calmly: "As we have already said before, you are the acting commander of the Third Regiment of the Guards.
The current highest commander of this army.
Of course you are here.
Give orders.”
"This is what I just said."
"It doesn't matter."
William continued: "I will watch from the sidelines.
If there is any emergency, I will tell you."
"this" "Don't you even have this responsibility?
Freya von Hereford, I don't have time to talk nonsense with you now.
Either execute the order now, or leave now.
From now on, don't try to get involved in the army or anything.
Choose one of the two, here you go.
Ten seconds” That's it, William, who looked very impatient, shouted to Freya.
Therefore, Freya decisively chose the point that was most beneficial to her.
That is to continue to serve as the commander and command the Third Army in combat.
In the ensuing battle, the Third Army and the Imperial Army forwards went back and forth, and the battle was lively.
With the previous lessons, Freya became cautious and did not dare to make any too radical moves.
Relying solely on defense and weapon advantages, you can fight back and forth with the opponent.
After William pointed out some mistakes and corrected them in the shortest time, Freya's command became more and more comfortable.

In the end, Franz was no longer able to catch any flaws or loopholes.
The other party felt very depressed and unhappy.
But there is nothing we can do.
The two sides had nothing to say, and after a slow-paced day of fighting, they each withdrew their troops and returned to their camps.
The first outpost battle between the Hereford family and the Imperial Lord ended like this. 160420oshow7:
