On January 23, 1791, the emperor's ** forward encountered the sentry cavalry of the 18th Division.
When he learned the news of the arrival of the emperor, Scharnhorst shook his fist fiercely, and shouted happily: "Great, these grandsons are finally here, I'm going crazy waiting here!"
Buschman's performance made the staff officers at the division headquarters want to laugh but dare not laugh, so they have to hold their faces red one by one.
Unlike most Prussian generals, Buschmann has always been spittive about maintaining the demeanor of an aristocratic officer at all times, and in Buschman's opinion, he can behave whatever he wants, which is the performance of a man.
Scharnhorst, on the other hand, is not shocked by anything, and although it seems to be a little personable, it is a little hypocritical.
"On my orders, the 53rd and 54th Infantry Regiments and the 18th Artillery Regiment immediately moved westward, the 52nd Infantry Regiment followed the divisional headquarters, let the 35th Cavalry Regiment test the depth of the enemy, and the 36th Cavalry Regiment covered the actions of the 35th Cavalry Regiment.
Tell Manstein that Lao Tzu just asked him to test, and if it turns into a tough battle, he will not be the head of the regiment for Lao Tzu, and go to be a groom!
” When Maninstein, the commander of the 35th Cavalry Regiment, learned of Buschman's order, his face was no longer known in what words to describe.
Because the 18th Division was a newly formed division, both the subordinate units were extremely inexperienced in combat, and although there were many petty fights on the way to Bamberg, there was not a single regular battle.
This made Maninstein, who was desperate for military achievements, very disappointed, and when he learned the news that the emperor had finally arrived.
Excited, Maninstein was about to go to ask Buschman for battle, but who knew that Buschman actually gave such an order.
It's not a temptation, but it's not just a small fight, which makes Maninstein, who is holding his breath in his heart, a little disappointed.
And the last warning to let him be a groom left Manstein speechless.
But after all, his arms still can't reach his thighs, and even if Maninstein is dissatisfied, he still has to resolutely carry out Buschman's orders, otherwise it is not impossible for him to be a groom.
The 35th Cavalry Regiment was assembled in the shortest possible time, after which the entire cavalry regiment of more than 1,000 cavalry immediately galloped westward. ................................
When Sheehan heard of the Prussians' appearance, he immediately ordered the whole army to be put on alert.
At the same time, the formation of the empire immediately began to change.
The army of 2,000 Württemberg was placed on the right side of the army, while the 3,000 men of Mainz were placed on the left side of the army, and the central army was played by the army of Frankfurt.
At the same time, the combined army of the Mains was placed in the rear by Sheehan.
Originally, Sheehan wanted to disrupt and reorganize all the armies within the emperor.
But time did not allow him to do this at all, and even if he wanted to adjust the army establishment within the emperor, he was pushed back by the princes of various families for various reasons.
Although this army is called the Emperor, it is actually a combined army of princes, and who wants to surrender their military power to the command of another completely unrelated person.
So Sheehan's thoughts went down the drain.
Although the combined army of 3,000 princes seems to be about the same number as the strength of the other three.
But everyone knows how much water is in this army, if this combined army is placed at the front of the battle line, it may collapse on its own before the war starts, so although Sheen is unwilling, he still has to put these troops behind, so as not to affect the morale of the entire emperor.
Among the four major components of the emperor, the weakest in combat power outside the empire is probably the army of Württemberg.
Although the Württemberg people were very generous and pulled out an army of 2,000 people at once, only God knows how much combat effectiveness the long-standing Württemberg army can exert.
By contrast, the armies of Frankfurt and Mainz were much better.
Both armies are armies built with real money, just in terms of equipment.
The army in Frankfurt was the best equipped, and the army in Mainz was slightly poorly equipped.
But Mainz's army is completely a bunch of religious fanatics, and these people don't know where the Electors of Mainz were recruited, anyway, they chant slogans such as martyrdom for God, killing all Prussian infidels, etc., although it is very exciting, but in Sheehan's opinion, there always seems to be a hint of bad luck, how can anyone die before the war is killed!
As soon as the formation of the emperor was converted, the 35th Prussian Cavalry Regiment rushed out from behind a small forest.
The rumbling sound of horses' hooves made everyone feel frightened, and when the emperor could hear the roar of the war horses, everyone's wildly beating hearts were raised to their throats.
More than a thousand cavalry crashed along the edge of the Mainz army, much to the relief of everyone except the Mainz army, except for Sheehan, of course.
"Quick, let the group behind me immediately go to support Württemberg's army, and at the same time send me the cavalry led by Tirami to the back of Württemberg's army to prevent Württemberg's army from being defeated!"
But just when the emperor ** just began to mobilize, I saw a large number of cavalry emerging in the grove, but unlike those cavalry just now, the group of cavalry that had just appeared seemed to have no intention of attacking, so they stopped at the grove.
"Hehe, that bastard of Maninstein, the general asked me to help him in the battle, but this birdman didn't wait for me, let him rush first, and by the way, let's see how capable the bunnies under Maninstein are!"
As a newly formed division, all the units under the 18th Division have just been established, and as the only two cavalry regiments, there is naturally some competition between Staunt and Maninstein.
Although the numbering of the 35th Cavalry Regiment was relatively high, Staunt never thought that the numbering could determine anything, but whenever that kid Maninstein always shouted in front of him that the 35th Cavalry Regiment was the strongest in the 18th Division, Statet wanted to tear his mouth apart.
Moreover, in the army equipment, the two also clashed, and the soldiers, equipment and horses transported by the logistics department were always preempted by Maninstein, in fact, Maninstein's mood can be understood, after all, everyone wants their army to be formed first.
But you can't snatch it all at once, you have to leave some soup for others!
In addition, the total garrison of the division is so large, but the 35th Cavalry Regiment is always engaged in confrontation and acting on the grass outside the garrison, so that the 36th Cavalry Regiment wants to find a place to train and let Maninstein give way.
However, the competition between the two does not mean that the two are enemies, on the contrary, the personal relationship between the two cavalry commanders is still quite good, but when it comes to dividing up the materials and equipment, it is good that the two do not fight.
Although Maninstein wanted to charge at the front of the entire cavalry regiment, Prussian officer regulations did not allow him to do so, so he had to take command in the rear of the cavalry regiment.
When he came into contact with the Württemberg army just now, Maninstein's entire chest was about to explode, of course, this is not to say that the cavalry behaved badly, on the contrary, the Prussian cavalry behaved quite well, at least they did not suffer major casualties.

What made Maninstein extremely angry was that a few cavalrymen had accidentally thrown their sabers into the ground when they were charging, although they were a little far away, but for the sharp-eyed Maninstein, he still saw it clearly.
"Which battalion is that, and how are their soldiers trained!
Fortunately, it was an opponent like Württemberg, if they had changed opponents, they would not want to live, they actually lost their weapons, and when I went back, I checked, and the officers who belonged to me gave me ten lashes!
” Maninstein's angry words sent a chill down the backs of the guards and officers around him, and then began to mourn in silence for the unfortunate officer.
Seeing the arrival of the Prussians, especially the swords and tall bodies of the cavalry, some of the recruits in Württemberg's army seemed to be stupid, and forgot how to fight at the urging of the officers beside them.
Fortunately, there were still some capable officers and veterans in the Württemberg army, and under the organization of these people, the Württemberg army opened fire.
But the poor accuracy surprised not only the Prussians, but even the officers of Württemberg felt hot in their faces.
Although Württemberg dispatched 2,000 troops, the weapons of these 2,000 troops were not advanced, and Württemberg did not have the superior position of Frankfurt and Mainz to add checkpoints to collect taxes, coupled with the unquiet political map of the principality, resulting in little investment in the army.
Therefore, the weapons of the Württemberg army were still old-fashioned smoothbore guns, and the unstable ballistics, combined with the short range and long reloading time, led to a salvo that did not kill many Prussian soldiers.
And after the gunshot, the Prussian cavalry began to wield their might, and the bright sabers swung at the heads of the Württemberg soldiers as if they did not have any strength, and a thousand cavalry quickly bit off a piece of meat on the Württemberg people, and in the torrent of war horses, the Württemberg army was taken away at least hundreds of lives.
"Withdraw the troops" Putting down the telescope in his hand, Maninstein said lightly.
From the telescope, he has seen the mobilization of the emperor, although the combat effectiveness of these emperors is not very good, but after all, the task given to him by Buschman is a temptation, since he already knows the approximate combat strength of the enemy, then there is no need to entangle, after all, Buschman has not yet given the order for a general attack.
