Chapter 156: Pre-Battle Dialogue In order to prevent these officers from colluding privately, he immediately ordered his guards to monitor these officers in pairs, and at the same time, in order to prevent turmoil in the army, he adjusted the positions of some generals. .// Some of the officers who were not quite on the opposite path to Kutuzov were stripped of their command and replaced with Kutuzov's henchmen.
It took Kutuzov three days to complete the adjustment of the Russian generals, and for some officers who dared to resist his orders, Kutuzov would kill all the officers who dared to resist his orders, of course, on the surface Kutuzov would announce to the public that these officers were executed for treason because they had private contacts with the Prussians.
Moreover, in the past three days, Kutuzov also adjusted the positions of some officers in the Polish army, and at present, the Polish army accounts for sixty percent of the Russian army, and if the Polish army is not settled, how can Kutuzov fight the Prussians with peace of mind.
In these three days, the two armies of Prussia and Russia were safe, the Russian army was busy with internal purging, while the Prussian army was strengthening its armaments, after seeing that the Russian army on the opposite side showed no signs of attack, although he was more surprised, but William ordered the whole army to be on guard at all times, and at the same time he ordered a group of seriously wounded soldiers to be transported back to the rear for treatment.
Three days later, Kutuzov completed the initial purge of the whole army, at least his orders could be unimpeded throughout the army, and after seeing the results of his purge, Kutuzov came back to his senses and prepared to fight against the Prussian army.
On July 10, 1781, the Russian army was dispatched, and the total number of Russian troops, numbering more than 40,000, was pressed towards the Prussian military camp in a neat formation.
Of course, before the war, Kutuzov still gave a letter of war to William in a very gentlemanly manner, and this letter of war was actually given to Henry, because Kutuzov did not know about William's arrival.
After reading this battle book, William sneered, and then he ordered his royal flag to be raised in the army, and the royal flag was rising, and the entire Prussian army camp was boiling, and the soldiers knew that once this royal flag was raised, it meant that His Majesty the king was with them.
"Your Excellency General, look" In the queue of Russian troops coming slowly, the sharp-eyed Mikharilev first noticed that something was wrong with the Prussian army.
Kutuzov on the side, under the prompting of Mikharilev, hurriedly raised his telescope and looked at the Prussian army, only to see a flag slowly rising in the Prussian army, and then take a closer look, the pattern on the flag is a black eagle wearing a crown.
After seeing the pattern on the flag clearly, Kutuzov's heartbeat in his chest instantly accelerated, and he was seen holding the telescope with both hands, and after a while, Kutuzov shook the telescope and laughed out loud.
Seeing the change in Kutuzov's mood, Mikharilev hurriedly looked at the flag carefully, which made Mikharilev's heartbeat accelerate.
"Congratulations to Your Excellency General, after this battle, Your Excellency General will forever be recorded in the annals of history" The excited Mikhariev did not forget the sycophant skills necessary to be a qualified subordinate at this time.
"Haha, Mikharilev, if you can capture that little child in this battle, your name and I will be admired by all people, and when the time comes, I will definitely introduce you to Marshal Potemkin" Mikharilev's sycophants made Kutuzov very useful, and Kutuzov, who was in a good mood, couldn't help but promise him.
Hearing that Kutuzov would introduce Potemkin to himself, Mikharilev was even happier, everyone knew that the current Russia is ruled by Catherine II and Potemkin, if you can enter Potemkin's eyes, then it will be no problem to soar.
Clear-eyed people are not limited to these two, in the Russian army, including the Polish army, as long as the children of the nobles with family roots know what that flag means.
The king of Prussia was among the Prussian army on the other side, and the news caused the entire Russian army to begin to move.
Of course, this kind of sāo movement is not uneasiness or fear, this kind of sāo movement is excitement, it is the excitement of becoming famous in the first war, if you can catch the king of Prussia, thinking about that kind of glory can make people faint with excitement.
Not only the Russian army is excited, but the Prussian army is of course even more excited, the reason why William did not put up the flag before was to erect it at such a critical time, just like playing a game to add status, it can completely achieve unexpected genus xing bonuses.
The Russians stopped at a distance of about ten miles from the Prussian army, but there was also a small group of Russian cavalry rushing here and stopped at a distance of five miles from the Prussian army.
A Russian knight ran to the front of the Prussian army with a white flag and shouted: "Which is the king of Prussia, His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief of our army has asked for a meeting with His Majesty the King of your country" When William heard the Russian knight's shout, he was about to hit his horse and walk forward, but he was stopped by Henry.
"Your Majesty, who knows if those Russians have any ghosts, we should ignore him" Henry saw that William seemed to want to go over, and hurriedly persuaded.
"Prince Henry, don't be so excited, how can I go alone" Saying that, William greeted again: "Buel, come with me with your men" "But Your Majesty, it is too dangerous for you to go over like this, it is better for your subordinates to go on your behalf" Henry made sure that no matter who was guarding him, William could not be allowed to take risks.
"It's okay, if I don't go, I'll let those Russians see a joke, and besides, I don't think that General Kutuzov should be so unwise, of course, just in case, after I pass, you will command the whole army, and order the artillery to aim all the artillery at that position, and if there is anything wrong, immediately open fire" Saying that, William was about to hit the horse forward, but Henry grabbed the reins of the horse.
"Your Majesty, no matter what, the minister does not agree with you to take this risk" William was touched by the expression on Henry's face, and after thinking for a while, he summoned Bouel to his side and commanded: "Send someone to tell the general Kutuzov that he is only a general, that I am the king of Prussia, that we are not equal at all, why should I condescend to run over and let him write something on paper, and then I will reply to him" After instructing Buel, William smiled at Henry: "Let's go, let's go to the front and see what those Russians are thinking."
With that, William came to the front of the Prussian front with a large number of Prussian generals.
Along the way, the Prussian soldiers expressed their love for the little king with enthusiastic cheers, and William waved in the face of these enthusiastic soldiers.
When Buel came to Kutuzov and conveyed William's words as they were, it was obvious that the expression on Kutuzov's face had darkened, and the Russian generals around him shouted angrily: "Your Excellency General, let's fight over and capture that little hairy boy alive" Although Kutuzov also thought so in his heart, he still had to maintain his image in front of people at the moment, so Kutuzov collected his mood, and his smile regained on his face, and he said to Buel: "Since His Majesty the King of your country has said so, then I will fulfill your King's request and come and bring paper."
As he spoke, an attendant hurriedly pulled out a quill and a stack of papers from his horse's pocket, and the general's attendant would bring some quill and paper for backup.
Of course, pen and paper alone were not enough, and the squire took out a box of ink from his bosom, and as for why the ink was placed in his bosom, it was because when he rode on the horse, the small cloth bag on the horse would swing back and forth with the horse's running and touch the saddle.
And the saddle is relatively hard, and if the swing is larger, the inkwell will be doomed if it is loose or broken.
Kutuzov took the ink-stained quill and paper from the hands of his attendants, wrote on the paper, and in a short time it was ready, and he handed the paper to Buel, who, after taking it, nodded to Kutuzov, and then turned his horse's head and ran towards William.
After a while, Bouel came to William, who took the piece of paper from Bouel's hand, and saw that the paper read: "Your Majesty the King of Prussia, I would like to pay you the highest tribute on behalf of the Imperial Russian Army, and welcome you to the glorious Russian Imperial Battalion" This sentence made William's brows furrow, it was obvious that what Kutuzov wrote on the paper was very unfriendly, what is it called to be a guest in the Russian ** battalion, unless there is only one situation, that is, William was captured, it seems that this Kutuzov is menacing.
William also took a pen and paper from the royal guards beside him and began to write.
"Your Excellency General Kutuzov, I hope you can come to the Prussian king's ** camp as a guest than me, the Prussian people have always been hospitable, I believe that you and your army will feel the enthusiasm of our Prussian people here, and if I go to your ** camp, I think you may not be able to receive it, I think it must be received by Her Majesty the Empress of your country."
After writing, William asked Buel to pass the paper back to Kutuzov.
Kutuzov received a reply from William, but after a closer look, he was furious, this letter not only responded to Kutuzov's provocation, but also insinuated that Kutuzov's rank was not enough, the status of the two was not of the same grade, perhaps the Prussian king was in Prussian hospitality to communicate with a lowly Russian general.
"Your Majesty, does such remark detract from your identity, and I am really not optimistic about the prospects of your army, it is better for Your Majesty to surrender our army as soon as possible, so as not to suffer misery here, and I believe that God in heaven does not want to see His followers kill each other."
Kutuzov actually persuaded him to surrender, should he call him stupid or should he say that he was optimistic, and William replied quietly.
"I think you may not understand, Your Excellency General, compared to our army, Your Excellency should be more worried about your army, in addition, although both countries believe in one God, but the doctrine of God in your country has been completely distorted, and our country is the true believer with God's favor."
After reading William's answer in his hand, Kutuzov was too lazy to waste words with William, he glanced fiercely at the Prussian position, and then he returned to the Russian formation with this small group of cavalry. ps:It's really my best under it.,The three-day holiday of the Qingming Festival finally gives me time to be able to code words with peace of mind.,For readers who have been supporting.,The author is here to say I'm sorry.,Because of the problem of going to work delayed the update.,I'm really sorry.,Please be able to understand the author.,In addition, continue to maintain tomorrow.。
