; Buschman's declaration gave a shot in the arm to all the soldiers of the 18th Division, of course, not everyone was relieved by this, and the high-ranking generals of the 18th Division, including Buschman, became even more nervous.
The Imperial Army's counterattack came so quickly and violently that everyone knew that this was the Imperial Army's final battle of trapped beasts, and the next few days would be a race to the death.
Maninstein's 35th Cavalry Regiment did not know how many times it charged, except that every time he stopped to rest for a while, he received an order from the division to continue the attack.
The 35th Cavalry Regiment has undergone many replenishments, but now the strength of the entire cavalry regiment is still only more than 600 people, and only more than 400 of them are veterans of the 35th Cavalry Regiment.
The 35th Cavalry Regiment was only a microcosm of the 18th Division, and the war had reached such a point that both sides had exhausted their last breath.
"Get the for me, there's no time left, if you don't want to die here, charge me!"
"Your Excellency, Commander, we are out of ammunition!"
Sheen roared angrily at the hundreds of decadent soldiers sitting on the ground in front of him, and after he finished yelling, the officers of the army stood up and defended to Sheen in a haggard manner.
But then the officer was whipped by Sheehan, who saw that Sheehan's beard was unshaven, his uniform was stained with dust, and his eyes were bloodshot "I don't want to listen to excuses, Kinderman, you are also known for your courage in my Frankfurt army, do you have to give up now!
If you don't have any ammunition, put your bayonet on me and charge!
I don't want to hear any more stupid things you say.
You're not the only one who doesn't have ammo now, but have you ever seen someone give up on it!
Unable to tear through the enemy's defenses.
We have only one way to die, and don't forget, your family will never be able to pay the ransom of a middle-level officer, and the Prussians will have to carry out labor reform when they capture prisoners of war, and you may survive a few years of heavy labor, but I can guarantee that your wife and children will never survive the day you return!
” Kindermann was a mid-ranking officer in the city defense army, and before the war with Prussia, he had a happy family.
A beautiful wife and a pair of lively children.
And Kindman, who came from an ordinary background, has no family help at all, and what Sheehan said is not unreasonable, if Kindman dies here, without the protection of his relatives, his family will definitely collapse.
"Sir, I see!"
Sheehan's words provoked Kinderman, who then added: "Sir.
I have nothing else to ask for, but if I die in battle, I want you to protect my wife and my children, and if you promise me, you will die without regrets!
” Kinderman spoke loudly, after his words landed.
I saw that the soldiers who were originally decadent sitting on the ground all looked at Sheen, and seeing this scene, Sheen did not hurry to speak, but walked to the middle of the soldiers and shouted loudly: "You are all my Frankfurt soldiers, as I said to Kindermann.
Even if you surrender, you will be exiled to those bitter cold lands as slaves.
And in the event of our defeat, the Prussians will definitely take Frankfurt.
When the time comes, your families will be in the clutches of the Prussians, and you will all be the pillars of your respective families, think about your wives and children, how can orphans and widows survive without protection!
Tell me, how can they survive without you!
” At this moment, no soldier spoke.
If a family loses a man, then it is equivalent to the sky falling, leaving orphans and widows, and it is not impossible for others to be bullied.
"So, you all have to live, not only to live, but also to go back to Frankfurt, and now we have to go forward to live.
Maybe a lot of you will die here, but I'm here to promise!
If I return to Frankfurt alive, your family will be my family, your children will be my own children, and I will support your parents as my parents-in-law, and if I can't keep my promise, let me be like my fingers!
” With a stabbing thud, Sheen pulled out the war knife he hung at his waist and aimed it at the index finger of his left hand, slashing it down in full view of hundreds of people.
A bloody arrow erupted, but Sheehan didn't seem to care about it, and he continued to roar: "Keep attacking!"
Sheehan's movements were so fast that the soldiers didn't react, but the short finger on the ground was naked to tell everyone Sheehan's determination.
Kindman was the first to come back to his senses, he spat at the ground with a big gulp, and then shouted: "Frankfurt City Defense, everyone of the 3rd Brigade, follow me, attack!"
.............................................
"How long will it take to get to Bamberg?"
"Your Excellency, it rained lightly yesterday, although it was not heavy, but it made the road ahead potholed and very muddy, the carriages and artillery could not be transported at all in a short time, and the soldiers were very tired, I think it would take at least two days!"
Hearing that there were still two days, Scharnhorst's eyebrows were tightly wrinkled, everyone knew that saving soldiers on the battlefield is like fighting fires, if the time is delayed because of the road, then it would be bad if the imperial army took this opportunity to break through.
"Order, the 5th and 6th Cavalry Regiments immediately speed up their march to the Bamberg area, and the remaining infantry regiments and artillery regiments will follow the division headquarters, and tell the commanders of the two cavalry regiments that when they arrive at Bamberg, they will immediately report to General Buschman, and at the same time cooperate with the actions of the 18th Division, and be sure to hold the Imperial Army to death!"
"But Your Excellency, the men and horses of the Fifth and Sixth Cavalry Regiments have not rested these days, you see?"
Hearing Scharnhorst's order, the staff officer standing beside him looked a little embarrassed and said, but as soon as he finished speaking, Scharnhorst said dissatisfiedly: "Neither Raquel nor Reyes complained, what nonsense are you talking about here.
Go down and give the order, and tell him two.
If you let the Imperial Army go, I'll ask them both!
” Snatched by Scharnhorst, the staff officer's face turned red.

As soon as Scharnhorst's order was given, the cavalry, which had been marching around the infantry regiment of the 3rd Division, immediately assembled in front of the 3rd Division, and immediately after assembling they rushed to the Bamberg area.
Looking at the distant figures of the cavalry, Scharnhorst turned his head and said to his subordinates; "Let the Ninth Infantry Regiment go to the front to open the way, and make sure that the artillery regiment can advance according to the original plan.
Let the tenth, eleventh, and two infantry regiments speed up, and all the logistical baggage will be thrown to the twelfth infantry regiment, and the lightly armed Jane will catch up with me!
” .............................................. 1791, end of February The Prussian government officially announced that in view of the Prussian Union Treaty, the Prussian government officially declared war on France and Spain!
The news instantly shocked the entire European continent.
On the third day after Prussia declared war on Spain, the Austrian government, which had learned the news, officially announced to the international community that Austria had officially declared war on Britain and Prussia in view of its alliance with Spain and France.
It's messed up, everything is messed up.
With the entry of Prussia and Austria into the war, the whole of Europe was in chaos.
Hundreds of thousands of troops on both sides deployed on the Austro-Prussian front were on the verge of breaking out, and with the participation of Prussia and Austria in the war.
The territory of the Holy Roman Empire has also become strange.
Leopold II was, after all, the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, but how this emperor was chosen, but as long as he ascended to the throne, then Leopold II would undoubtedly gain a group of supporters, and the most intuitive reaction appeared in the Rhine and Main river valleys.
After the Austro-Prussian declaration of war on each other.
The princes of the Rhine quickly responded, with the exception of Cologne.
Most of the princes joined the Austrian side in declaring war on Prussia.
It was also after Austria declared war on each other that news came from the Bamberg region.
The Imperial Army was defeated, the 15,000 Imperial Army was completely defeated under the siege of two Prussian divisions, and the Imperial Commander Sheehan became a Prussian prisoner of war, and the Imperial Army's casualties after the war were as high as more than 8,000, which meant that there was no force left in the area west from Bamberg that could resist the Prussian army.
Although the Prussian 18th Division was also heavily damaged, the Prussian 3rd Division was still strong, so after the Battle of Bamberg, the 3rd Division, which absorbed part of the army of the 18th Division, regained its heyday of 12,800 troops.
After dividing most of the main forces, the 18th Division had less than 4,000 troops left in the Bamberg area, and Prussian reinforcements for the 18th Division were also rushing towards Bamberg.
The Prussian General Staff had already planned the next move of the 18th Division, and in the top secret files of the General Staff, the 18th Division would be inserted directly into Austria from the southwest of Austria as a sharp blade in the next stage as a surprise force against the Austrian army.
Of course, in order to ensure the success of the main attack, the Prussian 1st Division had already rushed to the Main River valley under the leadership of division commander Dafilia, and the 4th Division, which had been stationed in Mecklenburg, was also rushing to the Saxony region under the stars.
It was also after the decisive victory in the Bamberg area that the 17th Division finally conquered Coburg.
Otlan successfully took advantage of the laxity of the Coburg defenders and launched an unexpected onslaught on a rainy day, and the unprepared Coburg army did not expect the Prussian army to suddenly launch a fierce attack, and the gates of Coburg had already become extremely vulnerable under the bombardment of Prussian artillery.
Probably by God's favor, anyway, just as the Prussian artillery was making a routine attack on Coburg before the infantry officially launched the attack, the gates of Coburg were suddenly blown down, and the overjoyed Otlan immediately gave the order to storm it.
The fall of Coburg brought the Prussian army to its original strategic plan, which meant that the Prussian army was open to the Prussian army from the eastern region of the Main to Frankfurt.
