; And just as the 71st Corps was interspersed with the rear of the Mainz army, the 72nd Infantry Regiment also quickly followed, and the communication channel between the Mainz army and the rear army was being quickly cut off.
"Quick, let the cavalry leave the Prussian cavalry, and give me the Prussian infantry that gets in the way from the right!"
Seeing that under the attack of the Imperial cavalry and infantry, the Prussian cavalry had already shown defeat, but Sheehan had to give up the idea of annihilating this Prussian army, because once the Prussians took the lead to cut off the connection between the Mainz army and the rear army, then the Mainz army was likely to face a situation of annihilation, which Sheehan did not want to see anyway.
Upon learning of Sheehan's order, the Imperial cavalry had to leave their opponents behind with a grudge and turn behind the Mainz army, the actions of the Imperial cavalry made Maninstein's original bottom feel a little more lively, but then a sense of shame followed.
"The whole army, the whole army, turn left, and drag those bitch bastards for me!"
At this time, Maninstein no longer cared about his demeanor, only to see him pull the collar of his military uniform, and then roar like a wounded lone wolf.
The remaining 800 cavalrymen of the 35th Cavalry Regiment immediately threw aside those Frankfurt infantry and bit the tail of the Imperial cavalry.
"Damn the Prussians, Lassonna, you take three hundred people and turn back to those Prussian mongrels to see some awesomeness, and the rest continue to rush with me!"
The leader of the Imperial cavalry, Bekrenner, immediately became a little annoyed when he saw that the Prussian cavalry was trying to stop his movement despite the casualties.
Just a fight.
Although the Prussian cavalry suffered a great loss, three or four hundred people were killed.
But the Imperial Army was not without damage.
And unlike the Prussian army, the Imperial Army has a total of more than 1,000 cavalry, so every cavalry is a treasure, and now the Prussian cavalry who have been taught a lesson actually dare to come, which makes Beclenner particularly annoyed in his heart.
But Bekrenner did not forget that Sheehan had already given the order to reinforce the Mainz army, and he did not dare to act recklessly at this time, so after instructing a subordinate to lead people to drag down the Prussian cavalry.
Immediately led the rest of the cavalry to quickly rush towards the 71st Infantry Corps of the Prussian Army.
Compared to Maninstein, State's 36th Cavalry Regiment was in a better situation, and although it also faced hard fighting, his enemy was not supported by Imperial cavalry.
However, the cavalry led by Stätter still failed to defeat the defending Frankfurt infantry on the opposite side, which made Stätter a little annoyed.
The actions of the Imperial cavalry were also watched by Buschman.
The 3,000 Mainz army had already shown a hint of wavering in the face of the Prussian army twice their size and surrounded them in front and rear, and at this time, Buschmann would never allow the Imperial cavalry to join the battle.
Because then it would destroy the good situation that the Prussian army had won so hard.
"The artillery regiment will continue to hit the cannonballs on the Mainz people, and the gendarmerie battalion will give me to meet the enemy cavalry!"
With the wave of the red order flag, I saw that the military police battalion that had been held in the rear of the troops retreated to the rear one after another.
As mentioned above, in addition to the task of supervising the war in wartime, the gendarmes will also play the role of firefighters at the most important moments of the war, and for this battalion of 400 gendarmes, because of their important role.
Therefore, although they are not regular cavalry regiments, the military police equipped with war horses can also quickly complete the transformation of roles on the battlefield.
Soon, when the Imperial cavalry was about to rush in front of the Seventy-One Infantry Corps, a hundred gendarmes who were the first to mount their horses had already blocked the front of the Imperial cavalry.
Sheehan looked at the situation and slammed his fist hard, if only those Prussian gendarmes were a little late.
Then the Prussian infantry, which was defenseless against the cavalry in the battle, would definitely be wiped out.
"Order to collect the troops!"
Seeing that the war was about to reach a stalemate, Sheehan and Buschman gave the order to withdraw their troops. .............................................
Later.
When Buschman saw the damage of today's battle, his eyes were about to turn red.
In today's battle with the Imperial Army, the 18th Division suffered a total of nearly 2,000 casualties.
Among them, the 35th Cavalry Regiment suffered the most, with a full strength of 1,200 cavalry regiments, and after the war, there were still 700 men left, and almost half of its combat strength was lost.
As the main force to resist the attack of the Imperial Army, the casualties of the 70th Infantry Regiment also reached 600 people, but the infantry could not be compared with the cavalry after all.
"Maninstein, look, this is the good soldier you bring!"
Although Buschman also knew that the situation facing Maninstein was quite unfavorable, when he saw the battle damage report, Buschman's heart was still angry, and he looked at Maninstein who was obediently standing in front of him, and Buschman couldn't wait to go up and kick him a few times.
But fortunately, there are other officers in the military tent at this moment, and Buschman takes into account Maninstein's face, otherwise, I am afraid that this dignified cavalry commander will really be kicked in the ass.
And standing next to Maninstein was Staunt, when he saw Buschman reprimanding Maninstein's look of gaffe, his heart instantly became a little secretly happy, although the battle damage of the 36th Cavalry Regiment was not light, but it was much better than the 35th Cavalry Regiment.
Staunt endured it very hard, but his expression was still captured by Buschman, and Buschman was even more angry "Staunt, what kind of expression do you have!
Schadenfreude?
I see if you don't want to mess around!
” Seeing that Buschman's head was pointing at him, State's face immediately turned a little pale, and now his head was lowered, and now he didn't dare to refute Buschman, who was angry.
Looking at the officers below, Buschman hated iron but not steel.
After a while, Buschman re-said: "Fortunately, Bayreuth provided us with a lot of reinforcements before, otherwise I will see what you will do in the next battle!"
As mentioned earlier, all of the more than 1,000 reinforcements in Bayreuth were incorporated into the battalion by Buschman, and these reinforcements were not sent into battle during the battle.

"Let the two cavalry regiments pick these reinforcements first, the thirty-fifth cavalry regiment can get three hundred people, the thirty-sixth cavalry regiment will be divided into one hundred people, the remaining seventieth regiment will pick five hundred people, and the remaining more than four hundred people will be supplemented by other regiments!"
Hearing Buschman's order, Maninstein's heart suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
Although Buschman's attitude towards him just now was not good, it was obvious that Buschman did not abandon the 35th Regiment, otherwise, Buschman could have given priority to these supplementary troops to those units that had suffered less damage under the pretext of giving full play to their maximum combat effectiveness.
When leaving Buschman's tent, Stätter glanced at Manstein provocatively, and Maninstein, whose mind was not on State's at all, ignored State, which made Statet even more depressed. ....................................................
Just as Prussia was attacking the Main Valley, the British also began to attack France's overseas colonies, and the British army's offensive was progressing very well.
In North America, with the cooperation of the Prussian army, more than 20,000 British troops soon expanded hundreds of miles to the west, and in the West Indies, the blockade of the British fleet became more and more tight, all of which caused headaches for the whole of France.
The actions of the British further irritated the Spaniards, and after reaching an agreement with Louis XVI, Carlos IV decided to formally reclaim Gibraltar.
Earlier, in Gibraltar, the Franco-Spanish combined fleet and the British had already begun a confrontation with a strong atmosphere of war, and after Carlos made up his mind, the Spanish army also moved into action.
The Franco-Spanish Combined Fleet, which confronted the British Navy in Gibraltar, was already uneasy with the current situation, and the Spanish fleet repeatedly rushed into the Strait of Gibraltar, indifferent to the warnings issued by the British Navy.
The general's small hair on Waliberg's head was about to be completely ripped off, and just as he was agonizing in his command how the British army should respond to the Spanish army's actions next, he heard a loud bang, followed by countless cannon fires echoing over the entire Strait of Gibraltar.
"What's going on!"
After being stunned for a moment, Waliberg didn't even bother to take his hat and hurriedly rushed out of the room.
From the location of Waliberg, the Franco-Spanish fleet in the Strait of Gibraltar was forming a battle formation, and the British Royal Navy was constantly shelling the Franco-Spanish combined fleet.
"Your Excellency, the Royal Navy has sent a signal that a Spanish gunboat has tried to force its way into the strait and has been sunk by the Navy!"
Hearing the adjutant's report, Waliberg no longer cared about the demeanor of the British aristocracy "Those grandsons of the Navy, they're crazy!
Completely insane, who do they think they are!
How dare they go to war without the order of His Majesty the King, they ................"
Before Valibeg could finish roaring, a herald quickly ran to Walibeg and roared out loud: "General.....
Checkmate.......
The Spanish army outside the city has moved!
” Walibberg's heart trembled, and he bit his lip tightly, and it was not until his lip was bitten and bleeding that Walibberg said: "Tell the soldiers, give me to keep an eye on the movements of the Spaniards on the other side, the war is coming!"
Waliberg's order spread as quickly as possible throughout the Gibraltar garrison, and the news immediately resounded in prayer in the barracks "May God bless the great Great Great Britain!"
Ironically, just opposite the British, after the Spanish commander gave the order to prepare for battle, the soldiers could not help but pray, and their prayers were almost identical to those of the British.
"May God bless great Spain!"
