That night, in Tsuyol, the character of Jaderson played by Scharnhorst and Merlin were almost instant acquaintance, and the relationship between the two was like a rocket, and finally the drunken Merlin mysteriously told Scharnhorst a piece of information, and it was this information that made Scharnhorst finally decide to stay in the area.
The information provided by Merlin was about the Swiss mercenaries, who had been inflated from 3,000 to 5,000, but the only thing that remained unchanged was that they were expected to arrive in five days.
Hearing the news, although Scharnhorst was overjoyed, on the bright side he was a little disapproving, of course, he was helpless.
Although Merlin looked a little unreliable, Scharnhorst knew that this kid was fine, and it would be bad if he found out something.
Being able to be the head of the army transport team, it is obvious that this Mei Lan is not such an unbearable character, so sometimes he must not get carried away, otherwise he may fall short.
The guests and hosts enjoyed themselves, and Scharnhorst specially asked people to find all the dancers and women in the town, and not only Mei Lan but also his guards were also properly settled, which made Mei Lan naturally feel very comforted.
Early the next morning, after Merlin left, the purchased supplies were also transported to this town overnight by Scharnhorst, and the reason why they were not transported back to the station of the Third Division was because they were afraid of being discovered.
You must know that in order to give the impression that Scharnhorst is the head snake of the small town of Tsuyol, it was long before Merlan's arrival.
The Prussian army blockaded the entire town in the name of Frankfurt Emperor**, and then Scharnhorst threatened a group of people up and down the town, but fortunately, the people in the town were quite cooperative.
If Scharnhorst had known about the Emperor's misery of the towns of the Main River basin some time ago.
I'm afraid he can understand the fear when he informs the residents of the town of the identity of the emperor.
When the scouts received information that Merlin had set off again with the convoy, Scharnhorst was relieved, and he immediately returned to the 3rd Division's station.
When Scharnhorst informed the mid- and high-ranking officers of the 3rd Division of the decision to stop, they were not dissatisfied, knowing that the Swiss mercenaries were a big piece of fat.
If only it were really according to what Merlin said.
If Frankfurt had hired 5,000 Swiss mercenaries this time, then the 3rd Division would have been stationed here to block or even eliminate the Swiss mercenaries.
Moreover, these Swiss mercenaries could not only bring combat success to the 3rd Division.
At the same time, it can also add some material base to the 3rd Division.
Because Swiss mercenaries have been fighting abroad for a long time, in this era of turmoil without bank cards, the salaries they receive cannot be sent home in time.
Therefore, their military salaries are generally carried with them, and for the safety of these military salaries.
In each group of Swiss mercenaries, a small team of soldiers is responsible for taking care of the salaries.
Although these Swiss mercenaries have just accepted the assignment of Sigel.
But as an employer, Sigel must have paid three months' military pay in advance.
In addition, these mercenaries who lick blood from the knife edge value their lives very much, so basically every old mercenary will have some good things on them.
Therefore, in the eyes of the Third Division, the Swiss mercenaries have become a tool for the Third Division to generate income.
While Scharnhorst waited for the Swiss mercenaries, the 18th Division and the Emperor finally began to exchange fire.
To everyone's surprise, it was the emperor who took the lead in attacking.
In order to be able to give full play to the combat effectiveness of the emperor, Sheehan ordered the emperor to take those fanatics in Mainz as the vanguard, and the Frankfurt army to guard the two wings.
The combined forces of Württemberg and the princes were the central army and launched an attack on the defense line of the 18th Division in one fell swoop.
I have to say.
Sheehan's order was unanimously supported by the emperor, and even the Mainz army, which was the vanguard, did not complain.
The battle of the 35th Cavalry Regiment of the Prussian Army against the Württemberg army made some people feel the pressure, and letting the Frankfurt army defend the thousands of Prussian cavalry is undoubtedly a selfless performance.
And for the Württemberg army and the allied forces of the princes, with the Mainz army charging ahead, they are naturally happy to be followers.
In this way, the 18th Division felt the pressure.
Under Sheehan's training, although the Frankfurt army is not the first in Europe, but under the advanced weapons and Sheehan's rigorous training, the combat effectiveness of the Frankfurt army is enough to be impressive.
Although Mainz's army was inexperienced in the operation of the Grand Army, many of the Mainz army were fanatics.
These fanatics, perhaps flawed in terms of battle formation coordination, are awe-inspiring in terms of fighting will.
In particular, the officers in the Mainz army, most of whom were adopted by the Church from an early age and had embraced the idea of dedication to God from an early age, were undoubtedly a headache when such an army fought on a small scale.
Right now, Buschman is having a headache over the matter.
Under the attack of the Mainz army, the 70th Infantry Regiment, which was at the forefront of the division, actually wavered in the battle line, and if it were not for the timely support of the 69th Infantry Regiment, I am afraid that the 70th Infantry Regiment would have suffered defeat in just one hour after the battle began.
Standing on a small high ground behind the battle line of the 70th Infantry Regiment, Buschman's face turned a little blue.
"Let the 35th Cavalry Regiment and the 36th Cavalry Regiment launch a tentative attack from both flanks, and at the same time let the 71st Infantry Regiment penetrate from the right side to the mezzanine position of the enemy's forward and the center, and let the 72nd Infantry Regiment move behind the 71st Infantry Corps, ready for battle at any time!
Tell the artillery regiment to aim all the artillery at the rear of the enemy's forward and clear the way for the seventy-one regiment!
” As soon as the Prussian army moved, Sheehan on the other side reacted "Immediately prepare the Frankfurt army for battle to meet the enemy cavalry, let those coalition forces go to support the Mainz army, and order the Württemberg army to move immediately to a position two miles from the front, ready to take over at any time!"
After a pause, Sheehan continued: "Let the cavalry units get ready, this time we must let the Prussians feel the power of our emperor!"
With Sheehan's order, more than 1,000 imperial ** cavalry, which had been treasured by Sheen, began to move in the rear of the Württemberg army, only to see these cavalry marching to the right together, and on the action route of the imperial ** cavalry, there happened to be a Prussian cavalry in action, and this Prussian cavalry was the 35th cavalry regiment led by Maninstein.

Sheehan once knew about the establishment of the Prussian army, one division, four infantry regiments, two cavalry regiments, and one artillery regiment.
The number of a cavalry regiment of the Prussian army was also 1,500 men, but the number of people who could fight on horseback was less than 1,500 and only about 1,200, and the rest were horsemen and auxiliaries.
In order to guard against the onslaught of the Prussian cavalry, the Frankfurt army also deliberately divided the 3,500-strong Frankfurt infantry into two equal parts.
Sheehan had faith in the Frankfurt army, believing that 1,700 Frankfurt infantry could withstand the attack of more than 1,000 Prussian cavalry.
Of course, Sheehan's self-confidence is not blind, mainly after Sheen became the commander of the Frankfurt City Defense Army, he began to strengthen the combat effectiveness of the Frankfurt army, and field combat is also the main subject of Sheehan's training of the army, among which the simulated battle of sudden cavalry invasion in the field, Sheen does not know how many times.
Among the more than 1,000 imperial cavalry, in addition to more than 500 Frankfurt cavalry, the rest were the personal guards led by the princes of the Main Valley, and many of them were knights left over from feudal society.
Although the profession of knight has gradually declined with the passing of the Middle Ages, this does not mean that knights have been forgotten, and the large and small knight estates all over the territory of the Holy Roman Empire are the products of the glorious era of knights.
Among the other 500 cavalrymen, there were 118 with official knightly titles, and among these 118 people, the knightly lords with the shortest history were inherited for more than 80 years.
As for those merchants who rely on money to buy knighthoods or degenerate knights, they have long been excluded from the emperor's ** by Sheehan.
The entire plain of Bamberg was slaughtered in a river of blood, and the warriors of both sides fought face to face, and the warlords behind them, armed in their back, told them that even if they tried to escape, they would only die.
The Prussian gendarmerie battalion was responsible for maintaining military discipline in peacetime, and in wartime it became the last main force of the overseers and battles!
The cavalry regiment led by Maninstein fell into a bitter battle, and the sudden attack of the imperial cavalry caught him a little off guard, and the imperial cavalry charged just in time for the moment when the Prussian cavalry had just entered the battle formation of the Frankfurt army, and the horse speed was forced to descend.
The 36th Cavalry Regiment led by Stadt was also stubbornly blocked, and those Frankfurt soldiers were not afraid of the high hooves of the Prussian cavalry, and directly resisted the charge of the Prussian cavalry with their flesh and blood, which also made many recruits of the 36th Cavalry Regiment feel a little panicked.
Seeing that the two wings were likely to fail, Buschmann couldn't help but start urging the action of the 71st Corps, and with the help of artillery, the 71st Corps finally defeated the coalition of princes who were blocking between the Mainz and Württemberg armies to complete Buschman's task, which also made Buschman's face look a little better.
