Although Prussia had a standing force of twelve divisions, these armies were mainly responsible for field warfare, and the task of guarding the important cities in various places fell on the heads of the garrisons in the localities, which had two or three regiments in strength in large quantities and one or two battalions in small ones, while the garrison in Brandenburg had as many as three regiments in garrison.
The 3rd Regiment of the Danish Army had encountered a company of the Prussian garrison that had come to check on the situation, and just after the gunfire was fired, the Brandenburg garrison mobilized its forces and began to go to the gates to impose martial law, and on both sides of the River Spree sent a regiment of troops to the old batteries to defend.
The 1st Division, led by Dafilia, also began to advance towards Brandenburg immediately after the emergency assembly.
The Danish 3rd and 5th Regiments rushed to Brandenburg as fast as they could, but just as they were about to reach the Brandenburg gate, a battalion of the Brandenburg garrison had begun to close the Brandenburg West Gate under the orders of their superiors.
Seeing this, the commander of the 3rd Danish Regiment, Calclair, immediately ordered his troops to speed up their advance, and used the two- and four-pounder guns that the army carried with him to approach Brandenburg and start firing.
The Danish 5th Regiment, having seen the movements of the 3rd Regiment, followed suit and ordered the artillery to set up artillery to bombard Brandenburg.
The Danish army can be proud of the fact that the last time Brandenburg was attacked was thirty years ago during the Seven Years' War, and Brandenburg has never been attacked since.
The flotilla that was heading down the River Spree towards Brandenburg was also met with Prussian artillery, albeit with mixed casualties.
But the Danish army did not abandon its actions, and Durex looked at the scene in front of him with a telescope.
He shouted: "Order all the troops to attack Brandenburg at once with all their might, only by taking Brandenburg will we have a way to live, otherwise we will all die here!"
As soon as Durex said harshly, he was stimulated by this, and sure enough, the Danish army's attack became more and more intense.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, the western walls of Brandenburg were in danger, and the Danish ships heading along the River Spree began to dock at the various small piers in the city.
The scales of victory tipped in favor of Denmark.
However, the arrival of the 1st Division made the Danes' previous gains come to naught, and the two cavalry regiments of the 1st Division were the first to arrive on the battlefield, and these Prussian cavalry suddenly appeared on the artillery positions of the 3rd and 5th Regiments attacking the West Gate, and then greeted the Danes with their muskets, and then slashed at the Danes' necks with their sabers.
Mixed together by two cavalry regiments of the 1st Division, the Danes were somewhat overwhelmed and joined the battle with the cavalry regiments.
This was followed by four infantry regiments of the 1st Division, which cut off the Danish attack sequence, and the Danish 13th and 14th regiments were heavily encircled.
The changing battlefield made Durex a little unacceptable, and he cursed loudly: "What is this battle called, immediately tell the 3rd, 5th, 13th, and 14th regiments to be sure to hold their respective positions for me."
As he spoke, Durex said to the commander of the 21st Danish Regiment on the side: "Immediately send your army reinforcements along the banks of the River Spree to the position of the Thirteenth Regiment.
Do your best to push back the Prussian attack for me" "Yes" While the battle was in full swing outside the city, the 17th and 18th Danish regiments began to land on the shore in Brandenburg, and they were located less than ten miles from the Brandenburg palace, although the 17th and 18th regiments did not know where the Prussian palace was located.
But when they saw the Prussian flag flying high above the palace, they knew it must be an important place.
"Dost, I'll take my men to attack there.
Take your men up the banks of the river from which we came, and try to join the great army outside the city."
Saying that, the commander of the 17th Danish Regiment pointed to the location of the Prussian palace, and the commander of the 18th Regiment, Dost, had no objection to this.
The two regiments then began to move separately, and although the 17th Regiment was heavily bombarded by the Prussian army on the ship and suffered heavy losses, the 17th Regiment still had as many as 1,000 men, and in the opinion of the commander of the 17th Regiment, Butcht, more than 1,000 men could make waves in Brandenburg.
But what Bujet didn't expect was that when he arrived at the palace with the Seventeenth Regiment, he was met with an unexpected fierce attack.
Jokes aside, the Prussian palace guards in Brandenburg are self-contained, the palace is completely guarded by the royal guards, although Wilhelm's family now live in Sanssouci in Potsdam, and most of the royal guards are also brought there, but there is still a regiment of royal guards in this royal palace in Brandenburg.
And just when Bujet was entangled with the guards of the Brandenburg Palace, the Brandenburg Garrison also learned the news of the attack on the palace, and at that time, this news made the commander of the garrison almost not mention it in one breath, what a serious act the palace was attacked, if the palace suffered a little loss, Zardol believed that he would be dealt with seriously by His Majesty the King.
After panicking, Zardol immediately mobilized two battalions of troops to follow him to the palace, although he knew that there was a regiment of royal guards guarding the palace, but if there was a case, Zardol would not be guilty of death.
The Danish 17th Regiment suffered a devastating blow under the attack of the Royal Guards and Zardol, although it seems that the Prussian army did not use large-scale artillery in the city, but the unfamiliar geographical location and the fierce Royal Guards caused the tragedy of the 17th Regiment.
The 17th Regiment in the city suffered a sad fate, and the 18th Regiment did have a smooth journey, although the garrison also deployed a certain force in the area, but this force was only less than a battalion, after all, Brandenburg was too big, and the three regiments of the garrison were naturally a little stretched for the defense of the city under the situation of external pressure.
The 18th Regiment unexpectedly joined up with the 5th Regiment, which was fighting fiercely on the banks of the river, and the sudden appearance of the 18th Regiment made the Prussian 2nd Cavalry Regiment attacking the Danish army panic a little.
"Immediately let the 1st Cavalry Regiment break through the enemy blockade on the opposite side, make a detour to the 2nd Cavalry Regiment in the rear of the enemy to reinforce it, and let the 3rd Infantry Regiment fill in the gaps left by the 1st Cavalry Regiment from the flank" Dafilia immediately noticed the sudden situation in the Second Cavalry Regiment, and then urgently ordered that with the order, the danger of the Second Cavalry Regiment was improved, and he had to admit that Durex dared to challenge such a difficult task There are really two hands, and these two hands are the Danish army under him, you must know that the army of ordinary countries basically has no power to fight back in the face of the Prussian army, and now the Danish army under Durex has completed the difficult task that can only be completed by several strong teams.
Although the situation was tilted in the direction of Denmark's disadvantage, it was not easy for the Prussian army to fight like this when the strength of the Prussian army was higher than that of the Danish army.
On the morning of 10 November, the armies of both sides, which had been fighting fiercely for nearly 20 hours, were somewhat exhausted, especially the Danish army, and with the reaction of all sides in Brandenburg, the surprise attack had lost its effect and had completely turned into a storm, but in the face of Prussia's superiority in strength, how could the attack be fruitful.
Especially on the night of the 10th, the Danish army had begun to shrink in full force, and Durex even ordered all the ships to be ready to flee, but the Prussian army bit very tightly, and watched the time drag on for more and more time, and the Danish sentinel ships even got the news that the Prussian shallow-water warships were approaching quickly.
Durex knew that he could not wait any longer, that the war was becoming more and more unfavorable to Denmark, and that all he could do now was to conserve as much strength as possible.
But the idea was good, but it could not have become a reality at all, and the Prussian army had completely compressed the Danish army into an extremely narrow range.
"Your Excellency General, you should go quickly, otherwise there will be no time" The staff officer on the side looked at the battle situation that was about to be defeated and had to urge Durex to get up, but Durex didn't seem to hear the staff officer's words.
"Obviously it can be successful, this surprise attack originally had a great success rate!
As long as you take Brandenburg, you will be alive, but ............."
Seeing that Durex was busy muttering to himself as if he hadn't heard his own words, the staff officer behind him became even more anxious, he gritted his teeth, and then greeted a few comrades with his eyes.
After several people gathered around Durex, the staff officer said: "Your Excellency General, I'm sorry, we must let you go back alive, otherwise there will be no hope for Denmark!"
As he spoke, several people stepped forward together to lift Durex up, and the actions of his men made Durex shout loudly: "Let me go, the fight is not over, we still have hope" But these people turned a deaf ear to Durex's words.
To say that Durex is also a talent, he single-handedly built the Danish army into an elite, not only that, in Denmark, he also has a large number of followers, and he himself has a unique understanding of philosophy, which makes Durex in Denmark reach an extremely high status.
And immediately after getting Durex on board, the staff officer said to the captain who had heard the news: "Let's get on the boat!"
