"Let the Fifth Cavalry Regiment get ready, their task is to drag the enemy's cavalry units for me, let the Sixth Cavalry Regiment wait for my orders, their task is to rush me from the flank to the rear of the enemy's third platoon formation, the artillery regiment immediately begins to extend the attack, the rest of the ninth, tenth, eleventh, three infantry regiments give me all my strength to break the enemy's front row phalanx, the twelfth infantry regiment acts as a reserve, waiting for my orders!"
Scharnhorst's order spread throughout the entire 3rd Division in the shortest possible time, after which only the strength of nearly 5,000 men of the three infantry regiments of the Prussian Army was seen to launch a fierce attack on the first platoon of the Emperor's army.
A thousand people seems to be a lot, but if they are neatly arranged on the battlefield, there are only three or four hundred people in the cross-section of a phalanx, and the Prussian army is lined up in a half-moon shape and the phalanx of the emperor is half-packed like a cloth bag.
After seeing the formation of the Prussian army, the Marquis of Nassau also ordered the army to change formations, and the Marquis of Nassau's response was very simple, that is, to order several phalanxes in front of him to immediately line up in a diamond shape to reach the Prussian attack.
However, there is a disadvantage between the emperor and the Prussian army, that is, these emperors lack systematic training, and there are also problems in the coordination of the team, which leads to the Marquis of Nassau's order not being quickly executed.
And due to the hasty change of formation, some of the recruits in the emperor ** were confused, resulting in a certain amount of confusion in the front phalanx.
The fighters on the battlefield were fleeting, and the slight commotion of the emperor ** at the moment was undoubtedly a very good fighter for Scharnhorst, so he immediately ordered the 6th Cavalry Regiment of the Prussian Army to charge the phalanx that had become a little chaotic in front of the emperor**.
The entire battlefield suddenly resounded with the deafening sound of horses' hooves.
And every sound of horses' hooves knocking on the ears of the emperor's ** soldiers would make the blood on their faces pale.
"Quick, order the cavalry units to strike immediately.
Stop those Prussian cavalry for me!
” This time, the order of the Marquis of Nassau was quickly executed, and nearly 2,000 cavalry deployed in the Emperor's Central Army immediately affected the 6th Cavalry Regiment of the Prussian Army.
But the opponents of these emperors are not the Sixth Cavalry Regiment, Scharnhorst has already arranged opponents for them, and the opponents of these emperors are the Fifth Cavalry Regiment of the Prussian Army.
As a cavalry regiment with a good reputation in Prussia, the Fifth Cavalry Regiment would not let the enemy in its hands slip away in vain, so when the Sixth Cavalry Regiment launched a charge, the cavalry of the Fifth Cavalry Regiment also waved their horse whips, and their purpose was to cover the attack of the Sixth Cavalry Regiment.
At the same time, deal with the possible imperial ** cavalry.
The two cavalry torrents collided together in an instant, of course, before this, the cavalry of the Prussian army had already fired a round of bullets with the cavalry guns in their hands, and after the bullets were fired, the cavalry hung the cavalry on the back of their horses, and then drew out their sabers to affect those emperor ** cavalry.
Unlike the uniform Prussian cavalry regiments, these cavalry of the emperor were all drawn up by various princes.
And the equipment is even worse, so when some of the imperial cavalry slowed down their horses and prepared to give a shot to the Prussian army on the opposite side, the friendly troops behind them accelerated their horse speed, which led to confusion among the imperial cavalry.
The commander of the 5th Cavalry Regiment, Nestor, was overjoyed when he saw this, and he immediately shouted: "The gang of bastards on the other side, they don't understand the true meaning of cavalry at all.
Warriors of Prussia!
Use your swords to leave an indelible mark on your enemies!
” As soon as Nestor finished speaking, the Fifth Cavalry Regiment immediately resounded with a large number of echoes, and then the speed of the Fifth Cavalry Regiment increased again.
And seeing that the Prussian cavalry accelerated their horses again, the faces of some of the imperial ** cavalry turned pale, and there was a little confusion just now.
As a result, there was some disconnection in the imperial cavalry team, so the entire cavalry formation was a little scattered.
On the other hand, the cavalry of the Prussian army on the opposite side.
In the high-speed charge, it still maintained a tight formation, like a wall to press towards the emperor, which made the emperor's cavalry not frightened.
When the two cavalry really collided, I saw that the Prussian cavalry lined up in a tight conical formation instantly split the imperial ** cavalry team in half like a rampant battleship on the ocean, and then the Fifth Cavalry Regiment continued to ram into those imperial ** cavalry that seemed a little disjointed in the rear.
Seeing this scene, the Marquis of Nassau's teeth itched, and the Prussian cavalry split the imperial cavalry team in half with just one charge, which made the Marquis of Nassau, who had regarded these cavalry as treasures, eager to throw all these useless cavalry into the River Main.
Moreover, another Prussian cavalry has successfully inserted into the emperor's army formation at this moment, when several phalanxes in the front row of the emperor have just arranged the line, the Prussian cavalry launched an attack from the rear, which made the four thousand emperors in the front row instantly suffer from the enemy.
"Let the fifth, sixth, seventh, and three phalanxes be launched immediately, and the fourth phalanx will not care about the Prussian army on the opposite side for the time being, turn back immediately, and drive out the cavalry of the Prussian army for me first!"
And let the eighth, ninth, tenth, and three phalanxes advance quickly at once, and their aim was the right flank of the enemy, and tell those officers that they must tear open the pockets of the Prussian army for me!
” The order of the Marquis of Nassau immediately made the Sixth Cavalry Regiment feel the pressure, although a charge of the cavalry regiment just now caused chaos in the two phalanxes in the front row of the emperor, but the neatly arranged phalanx of the emperor ** still made the cavalry regiment's horses slow down, and then the emperor ** phalanx that quickly turned around and the three phalanxes that were approaching behind still made the Prussian cavalry have to fall into a bitter battle.
"Let the 12th Infantry Regiment dispatch, let them immediately go to strengthen the right flank of our army, and at the same time order the 6th Cavalry Regiment not to care about the enemy behind them, and give me a few emperor phalanxes in front of me to penetrate the hole!"
On the small hill, the command flag of the Prussian army was immediately waved, and as the commanding heights of the entire battlefield, every move on the small hill naturally attracted everyone's ideas, seeing that the division headquarters issued an order, the soldiers of the Sixth Cavalry Regiment ignored the heavy encirclement of the enemy, and immediately began to frantically urge the war horse under the crotch, and the painful war horse also broke out again and rushed to the emperor ** phalanx that had just turned back.
"Quick, let the three infantry phalanxes speed up, tell them that they don't need to completely defeat the Prussian army on the opposite side, as long as they can penetrate the Prussian army's defensive line, then immediately give me an attack on that small hill, which is the headquarters of the Prussian army!"
The scene on the small hill naturally fell into the eyes of Nassau, in fact, the reason why the three phalanxes were ordered to attack the right flank of the Prussian army, the Marquis of Nassau had his reasons, because the right flank of the Prussian army was the closest to that small hill.
The entire battlefield is a plain, and on this plain, the only thing that can roughly browse the entire battlefield is the small hill, originally in order not to expose the location of the headquarters, Scharnhorst did not directly put up a flag on the small hill, but because the situation just now was a little urgent, so Scharnhorst did not care so much, so that the Marquis of Nassau paid attention to this place.
Although the order of the Marquis of Nassau was quickly transmitted to the mobilized army, in the face of the thick battle formation of the Prussian army in front, it was impossible to open the situation with only three phalanxes of the empire for a while, and looking at the smoke in the rear of the Prussian army, it was obvious that the strength of the enemy in front of him had been strengthened.
At the same time, the battle between the Fifth Cavalry Regiment and the Imperial ** Cavalry was also divided, after being penetrated by a charge of the Prussian Army, the Imperial ** Cavalry seemed to have been knocked out of spirit, and then in the case of the Fifth Cavalry Regiment doing its best, the heavily damaged Imperial ** cavalry did not wait for the order of the Marquis of Nassau and retreated without authorization.
Although the imperial cavalry has done its best, but throwing away the task in hand will undoubtedly make the friendly army take greater risks, and it will cause a large-scale chain reaction, which is not uncommon on the battlefield.
And then, this iron law was once again confirmed on the battlefield.
The Fifth Cavalry Regiment, which had defeated the Imperial Cavalry, immediately turned its horses, and although the soldiers of the Fifth Cavalry Regiment were very tired after the heavy fighting, under Nestor's orders, these cavalrymen still mustered up their last strength to support the Sixth Cavalry Regiment.
The Sixth Cavalry Regiment fought very tenaciously, but at the same time, the emperor ** opposite them was not much inferior, this emperor ** was the army of the Marquis of Nassau and the magic weapon of the Marquis of Nassau.
In order to increase the strength of his army, the Marquis of Nassau hired a large number of officers with rich combat experience from various countries to train his army, and at the same time, he also imitated Hesse to carry out strict training of soldiers, of course, unlike Hesse, because Nassau was not as rich as Hesse, so Nassau's regular army in Nassau was only 3,000 people.
However, the Marquis of Nassau had high hopes for his army, and he believed in the nobility of soldiers, so these Nassau soldiers were not much inferior to the veterans of the 3rd Division in terms of combat effectiveness.

The attack of the Sixth Cavalry Regiment was blocked, and the three infantry regiments of the Prussian army had not completely defeated the three phalanxes of the emperor's forward for the time being, which also led to the fact that the three infantry regiments of the Prussian army were temporarily unable to provide effective help to the Sixth Cavalry Regiment.
At this time, the addition of the Fifth Cavalry Regiment was undoubtedly quite fatal, and the sudden appearance of cavalry completely made the commander of the Nassau army a little confused, and then in the face of the attack of 2,000 cavalry, the Nassau army was still unable to hold out after all.
The defeat of the Nassau army can be said to be the last straw that broke the camel's back, and the already overwhelmed emperor ** forward finally collapsed under the attack of the Prussian army, and then the Prussian army turned back to concentrate the main force on the right flank, and the situation on the right flank changed.
