; Akhfsky's 2,000 guards were really sharp, and they were still able to attack and defend in the attack of nearly 6,000 men under Brankoff's command, although Brankoff's men and horses relied on the huge advantage of troops to advance to the headquarters layer by layer, but they never crossed the gate.
As time dragged on, the defending Akhfsky guards dragged several cannons out of the headquarters, which helped Akhfsky's men to temporarily stabilize the situation, and although they did not defeat Brankov's men, they managed to make the battle stalemate.
Seeing Akhfsky's men and horses pushing out the cannon, Brankoff secretly gritted his teeth, and Nikolavich stood aside and said with a smile: "Your Excellency, our artillery is completely ready, now waiting for your order!"
Although Nikolavich's words use honorifics, Brankoff does not really think that Nikolavich respects himself, on the contrary, in Brankoff's opinion, the elements in this sentence are mostly ridiculous.
Glaring at Nikolavich fiercely, but as if he didn't care, Brankoff had no choice but to say: "Order the artillery shè fire!"
Six large words came out of Brankoff's mouth, and as his words landed, the guns not far behind him immediately lit the torches.
“shè！”
"Bang Bang Bang" The shè of more than thirty guns suddenly blasted the defending line outside the headquarters into an empty area, and the stumps and flesh splattered on the ground filled the entire battlefield with a disgusting smell.
Because Akhfsky's personal guards are usually stationed at the command headquarters, and because Akhfsky's personal guards are basically cavalry.
As a result, apart from a few small-caliber field horse artillery, the defenders did not have any large-caliber field artillery in their hands.
In contrast to the defenders, Brankoff's troops were configured according to the firepower of the field army.
So not only did they have a large number of artillery, but the caliber of these cannons was much larger than that in the hands of the defenders.
In a few moments, the scales of victory began to tip in Brankoff's side, and the defenders on the periphery of the headquarters had all been routed, and now Akhfsky's men and horses had to rely on the walls of the headquarters to make a final resistance.
It's just that the situation has progressed to the present, how can the defenders who have completely fallen into the upper hand turn around.
Although Akhfsky's name as marshal made the attacking army feel jealous, it was far from being fearful, not to mention Brankoff's announcement that the first battalion to storm the headquarters would receive a reward of 500,000 imperial silver coins.
As the saying goes, there must be brave men under heavy rewards, so it is not surprising that the defenders fell to the downside.
By the time the hand pointed to five o'clock in the afternoon, the sky had already darkened, but even so.
Brankoff was still fighting with torches.
Brankoff has already given the order that the command must be captured tonight!
The floor of the villa had been shaken for I don't know how many times, and Ahfsky sat at his desk and wiped his saber, and with each wipe, the bitterness on the marshal's face increased.
At that moment, the door to the room was hurriedly pushed open "Your Excellency, the gate has been lost, so you better go quickly.
We'll protect you from the breakout!
” "Hehe, where else can I escape!"
Ahfsky's self-deprecation left his adjutant speechless.
Now it was Brankoff and Nikolavich who were mutiniing outside the door, and the two generals were only slightly inferior in the army to Akhfsky, and now their joint mutiny could completely overpower Akhfsky.
Even if Akhfsky is able to escape from the city, who can guarantee that he will actually make a comeback.
"Alright, give my order!
Let the soldiers stop resisting and we surrender!
” "Your Excellency, this" Hearing that Akhfsky wanted to surrender, his adjutant immediately opened his mouth in the hope of stopping the marshal's thoughts, but Akhfsky interrupted the adjutant's persuasion with a wave of his hand "Give orders, Colonel!"
Seeing that the marshal was so solemn, as a subordinate, the adjutant could only accept the order with some unwillingness.
With the order of Akhfsky, at about seven o'clock in the evening of the same day, the whole battle subsided, and the detachments of the marshal's guard were escorted by Brankoff's men and horses in the main square in front of the command headquarters.
Hearing the news of Akhfsky's surrender, Blankov did not celebrate as expected, on the contrary, Brankoff's face was full of surprise and regret, but Nikolavich was very happy.
In Akhfsky's office, the marshal handed Brankov, the saber he had always cherished "Brankoff, I know you are a smart man, I am old, I can no longer carry the weight of a hundred thousand people on my shoulders, and Ilylov is no different.
But you are different from us, you are only forty-three years old, you still have a lot of years, and now as the commander of the Russian army in the Black Sea, I officially hand over the command to you, you can do what you want, I hope you can lead everyone to live!
” The marshal's words were full of gloom, and when he saw the gray sè on Akhfsky's face, Brankoff seemed to think of something, and his face became uncertain.
"Hehe, don't worry about me, I already took some arsenic before you guys came in, I think you should know what I mean" Hearing Akhfsky's words, Brankoff's face changed drastically, as an upper-class figure in the empire, how could he not know the name of arsenic.
As for why there was arsenic in Akhfsky's hands, it is not surprising that not only Akhfsky, but also arsenic in the army's baggage.
Arsenic is not only a poison, but it also acts as a leather preservation agent and rust remover, and it is not surprising that arsenic exists in the army in order to encapsulate weapons.
"Brankoff, I'm sure you can take everyone further, now please give me a little personal space" As he spoke, large beads of sweat dripped from his forehead, and it was clear that he was enduring the pain caused by the arsenic.
Looking at Akhfsky, who was desperately clutching his stomach, Brankoff's eyes oozed tears, and then he nodded and turned around and left the room with Nikolavich, during which he did not say a word.
Akhfsky smiled at Brankoff's departing backs until their backs disappeared beyond the door of the room, and the marshal, who could no longer hold back, slipped to the ground, his eyes showing a hint of compassion Although the rebellion in Lyon under the leadership of Napoleon has been crushed, William believes that the revolutionary wave that pervades France will not dissipate, but he believes that the situation in France will deteriorate further.
In addition, the recent deployment of the Austrians is somewhat incomprehensible, and the posts on the Bohemian front have been sent more than once to the information that the Austrian guard army on the Bohemian border is further reduced, which makes Wilhelm feel puzzled and incredible.
And for Anna's visit to Prussia, in just one week after the New Year, Wilhelm sent two groups of envoys in succession, after all, once Austria fulfilled its promise, then Anna would become the queen of Prussia.
The first wave of emissaries was to negotiate with Austria about the marriage of William and Anna, while the second wave of emissaries went to greet the lord of Anna with Prussian sincerity.
But to William's disappointment, the Prussian spies lurking in Vienna used the fastest and most dangerous information channel to deliver an update that William did not expect.

It seems that the Habsburg lord of Anna has disappeared, she has not been seen in Viana for a whole week, and what is even more serious is that it is said that the Austrian court is now sending a large number of men to search for the whereabouts of the lord of Anna!
This news made William feel a little unacceptable, what are you kidding, as a powerful country in Europe, the monarch of Prussia has the strength to dominate the world, but now an Austrian county lord actually disappeared when he was about to come to marry the king of Prussia?
If it weren't for the wrong date today, William would have even thought it was April Fool's Day.
After a while, then William was furious, fuck your uncle, as the king of Prussia, what woman does Lao Tzu want, marrying you is to give face to the entire Habsburg family, now it's good, the damn Habsburg family actually smacked the face of the Prussian king!
Of course, William would not think that Anna's disappearance would be a real disappearance, in his opinion, this must be a trick played by the Habsburgs, otherwise why would he not have disappeared sooner or later, but he would have disappeared when the Prussian ambassador was about to arrive in Vienna, isn't this a clear bully!
Moreover, Anna is Leopold's daughter, as the successor to the Austrian throne, Wilhelm does not believe that Anna is not closely protected, and in such a situation, it is actually so easy to disappear.
Maybe William in his previous life didn't understand what personal protection was, but what William in this life understood most was personal protection, every day he was protected twenty-four hours a day, even at night, outside his door and in another room separated by a wall, as well as ceilings, balconies and other places were guarded.
Even William only needs to turn over these guards to know immediately, and during the day his guards are even tighter, it is a very ordinary situation to go to the toilet with guards or something, and there are thousands of soldiers guarding in the entire Sanssouci Palace at every moment of day and night, which is not counted in secret!
Even if Anna's status is much worse than William's, but as a woman who is about to become Queen of Prussia, it is impossible for the Habsburgs not to strengthen Anna's security level.
