"Karl, I assigned you 10,000 men before, so I will send you another 5,000 men, you lead these troops to make a feint attack on the Bratna area, but if the Prussian army launches a large-scale counteroffensive against your troops, then you immediately lead the troops to stop and lay out the defensive line, and I will lead the rest of the army to capture Seydlice in the shortest possible time, and after conquering Seydlice, I will lead the army to join you!"
Immediately after receiving Tuha's order, Karl saluted the Grand Duke and strode out of the tent.
After Karl led the 5,000 troops allocated by Tuha to leave the Austrian camp and began to move towards the north of Seydlice, Tuha led the remaining 30,000 Austrian troops to launch an attack on Seydlice.
As soon as the Grand Duke of Tuha fought hard, Nichilau had a headache, and under the fierce attack of the Austrian army, the 9th Division gradually began to fall into the disadvantage, and the Austrian army reached the city of Seydlice.
Under the siege of the superior forces of the Austrian army, the 9th Division had to fight to the death with the Austrians in every position, and often a gap could change hands repeatedly in a day, and under such circumstances, the casualties of the 9th Division gradually rose to a jaw-dropping level.
"How's it going, is there any news from Your Excellency Marshal?"
When Nichlau saw his chief of staff hurriedly walking into the room, he immediately asked anxiously, and after listening to Nichilao's questioning, Barth, the chief of staff of the Ninth Division, said with a wry smile: "An order has been issued from His Excellency the Marshal that the Ninth Division must hold Seydlicice without the express order of His Excellency the Marshal.
Even if you fight to the last man!
” After Bart's words, he looked at Nichlau and said: "Your Excellency the Division Commander, it seems that Your Excellency the Marshal wants us to stay here.
But you also know the casualties of the brothers below these days, the entire division and regiment had more than 11,000 people before the war, but now there are less than 7,000 people left, and all the troops are fighting very hard, if this continues, I am afraid that the brothers will not be able to hold on!
” After listening to Bart's words, Nichlau's face changed dramatically, and then he was heard shouting: "Method.
What can I do!
His Excellency the Marshal's order is already clear, and besides, now that the Austrian army has appeared in our north, if we retreat, perhaps the whole division may not be able to withdraw a few men!
The superiority of the Austrians in strength is there, Bart!
Pass my orders, let the tribes fight to the death, without my orders.
Whoever dares to take a step back, I will kill him!
” As he spoke, Nichlau's forehead was already bruised, and seeing Nichlau's face, Bart had to sigh helplessly.
Just as the two of them were silent, another person hurriedly broke into the room "Your Excellency, Division Commander.
Your Excellency Chief of Staff, no, the Austrian army has opened a gap in the south of the city, and the 33rd Infantry Regiment is already a little unable to resist!
” "I'll go to his grandmother's Romitt, I don't think he's the head of the regiment who wants to go now!
Chief of Staff Barth.
You immediately rushed to the south of the city with my own soldiers, and immediately ordered the 17th Cavalry Regiment to move immediately to the south of the city.
Be sure to close the gap for me in the shortest possible time!
” Originally, Nichlao was going to go to the battlefield himself, but Nichilao thought that the division headquarters must be presided over by someone after all, so he asked the chief of staff, Barth, to lead people to rush there.
At this moment, in the south of the city of Seydlice, countless Austrian troops were pouring in from a gap about six or seven meters wide, and this gap was collapsed by the Austrian artillery.
The Grand Duke of Tuha had noticed the gap through the telescope, and only heard the Grand Duke of Tuha order in a loud voice: "Immediately mobilize the 3rd, 9th and 10th Dragoon regiments to attack the gap, and let the artillery immediately increase the intensity of artillery bombardment, and I will let the Prussians taste the power of our Austrian artillery!"
After the order of the Grand Duke of Tuha was issued, a small gap was repeatedly fought by nearly 10,000 soldiers from the Prussian and Austrian countries, and the Prussian army, while trying to recapture the gap, also built a fortification with sandbags hundreds of meters behind the gap.
With the help of these sandbags, the Prussian army gradually drove the Austrian troops who had entered the city to the outside of the city, and of course the Austrians would not lose points at this critical time.
The Austrian soldiers borrowed the bodies of their dead comrades as cover and attacked the Prussian army one by one, although this kind of behavior was contrary to God's will in Christianity, but at this time no one was willing to give up his life because of the so-called teachings.
The Austrians had some success, and although the Austrian army was unable to break through the Prussian defenses, the Prussian army was unable to carry out an effective counterattack against the Austrians.
While the two sides were at a stalemate, the Prussian 17th Cavalry Regiment arrived on the battlefield.
These Prussian warriors on war horses did not care about the Austrian soldiers who hid in the dark and put cold guns, but rushed directly to the Austrian soldiers who were hiding behind the corpses, although these cavalry could not play an effective charge due to the terrain restrictions, but the Prussian cavalry, which drove the horses to ramp through the ranks of the Austrians, quickly opened up the situation.
"Quick, let the 17th Cavalry Regiment immediately plunge diagonally towards the gap in the wall and divide the enemy in half, and the rest of the soldiers will come with me!"
Seeing that the Prussian cavalry had temporarily gained an advantage, he immediately roared.
As chief of staff of the 9th Division, Bart had the right to command the entire army in the absence of Nichlau, and after Bart shouted, hundreds of Prussian soldiers immediately jumped out from behind the sandbags, and Bart rushed at the Austrian troops first.
Barthes's leadership greatly boosted the morale of the Prussian soldiers, who shouted hooray and launched a decisive charge against the Austrians.
The Austrians, who had just been stirred up by the Prussian cavalry, had not yet come to their senses, and the Prussian soldiers behind them had already rushed behind them, and in a single negligence, the situation on the battlefield was suddenly reversed.
However, the Austrians had the advantage of strength, and although the gap in the southern wall was not very large, there was still a steady stream of Austrian soldiers pouring into the city from this gap.
In this local battlefield, the Austrians still had the upper hand.
The 17th Cavalry Regiment's assault on the city walls was temporarily stopped by the Austrians with their flesh and blood.
Losing the speed of its horses, the 17th Cavalry Regiment immediately fell into a bitter battle.
Just when Bart was anxiously watching the soldiers of the 17th Prussian Cavalry Regiment not far away, they were in a bitter battle and even in danger of being annihilated.
Only the rumbling of horses' hooves was heard in the rear.
Bart was stunned for a moment, then he looked behind him and saw another cavalry regiment of the Ninth Division rushing to the battlefield with a battle flag held high.
The cavalry regiment that came to the aid was the 18th Cavalry Regiment of the 9th Division, but this cavalry regiment had suffered heavy losses in the previous battle with the Austrians outside the city, and the entire cavalry regiment had only more than 500 cavalry left.

It can be said that the 18th Cavalry Regiment was already the last mobile force of Seydlice "Brothers, reinforcements are coming, kill me!"
Bart immediately shouted, and after Bart shouted.
More than 500 cavalry of the 18th Cavalry Regiment also rushed into the battlefield.
At this moment, the Austrian troops on the battlefield immediately became very passive, and hearing the roar of reinforcements, the 17th Cavalry Regiment did not turn back but continued to assault forward.
After a while, the Austrian army on the battlefield collapsed, and nearly a thousand Austrian soldiers began to turn around and run towards the gap in the wall, but by this time it was already a little late.
The 17th Cavalry Regiment finally closed the gap in the wall with heavy casualties, and the Austrian troops still in Seydlicice became the turtle in the urn.
"What's going on.
Where are the troops of the 9th Division, why haven't they attacked yet!
” Tuha looked at the Prussian flag that suddenly appeared at the gap in the city wall, and suddenly became angry, knowing that the third and ninth divisions together had nearly 10,000 men and horses, plus the men and horses of the 10th Dragoon Regiment, which was almost equal to the entire Prussian 9th Division guarding Seydlice at this moment.
Soon after the Grand Duke of Tuha finished shouting, he saw a staff officer hurrying to his side and whispering.
And as the staff officer's words were finished, Grand Duke Tuha's face turned blue It turned out that the 9th Division was about to march on Seydlice on the orders of Grand Duke Tuha.
However, a stray bullet that came out of nowhere during the march bombed the commander of the Ninth Division and several other major officers into the sky, and the sudden death of these officers also caused the Ninth Division to immediately become chaotic.
If it weren't for the fact that a regimental commander knew that rescuing soldiers was like fighting a fire and hurriedly sent someone to report to the Grand Duke of Tuha, I am afraid that Tuha would still not know that such a big change had occurred at this moment, but after all, the Ninth Division had fallen into chaos, and it was impossible to form an effective organization for a while, let alone attack the enemy.
And the 10th Dragoon Regiment did carry out the order of Tuha after receiving it.
But the small traps left by the Prussians outside Seydlicice became an obstacle to the advance of the 10th Dragoon Regiment.
At the moment, apart from the 9th Division and the 10th Dragoon Regiment, the Austrian army had almost no other strength.
In addition to the southern part of Seydlice, the Austrians also divided their forces to attack the western and eastern walls of Seydlice, and the rest of the army was either caught in the battle or could not be mobilized in a short time due to distance.
Tuha gritted his teeth and shouted: "Let the artillery concentrate ammunition on the gap in the wall, there are still thousands of our soldiers in the city, we must let them out!"
"But His Royal Highness, if the artillery is fired in a concentrated manner, it will inevitably hurt our troops!"
"No matter, those Prussians must be wiped out now, otherwise our people will definitely be wiped out, and a small loss is better than the total annihilation!"
Seeing that Tuha's attitude was so resolute, it was naturally difficult for everyone to persuade them again, and then the Austrian artillery began to concentrate on firing shells at the gap in the city wall.
The 17th Cavalry Regiment suffered huge casualties due to the huge number of shells, and nearly 100 cavalrymen were killed by shells instead of being killed by the enemy.
Hearing the sound of the Austrians' cannons, Barth's face suddenly turned pale "Quickly let the 17th Cavalry Regiment withdraw, and the other divisions should not get too close to the Austrians, our men cannot bear this vain casualties!"
Barth's order was soon passed on to the 17th Cavalry Regiment by the heralds, and upon receiving Barth's order, the 17th Cavalry Regiment immediately began to retreat from the gap in the wall.
Seeing that the Prussian cavalry took the initiative to make way of a road, all the Austrian soldiers immediately rejoiced and rushed to the gap in the wall, but at this time the Austrian artillery had not stopped bombarding.
Some of the Austrian soldiers, who rushed most urgently, did not die under the enemy's guns, but were killed alive by their own shells.
After a while, when Tuha could no longer see any Prussians in the telescope, he ordered the Austrian artillery to stop the bombardment.
And in this short period of time, not only did the Prussians have hundreds of people under the bombardment of shells, but the Austrians also suffered nearly a thousand casualties.
Fortunately, however, the gap in the wall was opened, and a large number of Austrian soldiers left Seydlicice along the gap in the wall.
"Wait until the soldiers withdraw to comfort them, the military prostitute camp will focus on taking care of these evacuated soldiers, and give the soldiers more meals tonight, and let them rest for a few days!"
Tuha knew that although these Austrian soldiers had withdrawn, because the Austrian artillery had already caused a lot of casualties to his own troops because of the bombardment of the enemy and us.
And in such a situation, the other soldiers must have emotions in their hearts, and this emotion must be appeased, otherwise a bad appeasement may cause a camp roar, which the Grand Duke of Tuha absolutely does not want to see.
Basically, every army would take a part of the prostitutes with them when they went out to war, and these prostitutes formed the military prostitute camp, and these prostitutes existed to soothe the wounded hearts of the soldiers in the war.
In the army of the Grand Duke of Tuha.
There were even nearly 200 prostitutes in the military prostitute camp, and in addition to some of these prostitutes were professional prostitutes, there were also slaves or women who were obtained in various ways.
Although today's attack was a failure, Tuha was not ready to give up, but because the Austrian army had suffered a lot of casualties today, it was considered from any aspect.
Tuha will need to slow down for a few days before launching the next big attack on Seydlice.
And these few days are a very important period of recuperation for the Prussian army in the city.
The casualties of the Austrian army were very large, and the casualties of the Prussian army were also not small, and even according to the ledger in Nichlau's mind, the Prussian army even lost in today's offensive and defense.
The Ninth Division had been reduced to less than 5,000 men, while the Austrian army outside the city still numbered in the tens of thousands.
In every respect, the Prussian army had reached its most difficult time. ...................................
The flowers bloom in two, one on each branch.
In Silesia, the Austrian army, which had been reinforced, quickly launched an attack on Ferdinand Jr.'
s headquarters, and with the arrival of Austrian reinforcements, Ferdinand Jr.'
s hard-won battlefield advantage suddenly became a failure.

Under the attack of 50,000 Austrian troops, the Prussian army had to shrink the defensive line, and finally resisted the Austrian attack on the original border, which was the Silesian border defense line built by the Prussian army.
Although it was not the usual style of the Prussian army to be beaten passively, Ferdinand Jr. had no other way but to try to maintain the defensive line against the Austrian army, which had a disparity in strength.
At this moment, the fifteenth division sent by Blucher finally arrived at the Silesian battlefield, and Ferdinand Jr. was overjoyed to receive reinforcements, and when he learned that Blucher not only sent the fifteenth division, but also the thirteenth division was on the way, Ferdinand Jr. was not only happy but also brewed a huge counterattack plan.
Of course, the arrival of the 13th and 15th Divisions in the Silesian Theater to support Ferdinand Jr. did not mean that the two divisions were included in the Silesian Theater of Operations, on the contrary, these two divisions came only to temporarily help Ferdinand Jr., which means that when the situation in Silesia improves, these two divisions will also return to the command of the Polish Theater.
Although Ferdinand Jr. coveted the reinforcements of the two divisions, he also knew that neither His Majesty nor the Military Department would definitely include these two divisions in the Silesian theater of operations, after all, there were too many unstable factors in Poland.
Under such circumstances, how to coordinate the two divisions and help him realize the counterattack plan he had in mind became the place where little Ferdinand pondered for the past few days.
With the 15th Division joining the battle, the Prussian troops on the Silesian front were finally able to breathe a sigh of relief, and even in the local positions, the Prussian army also played a few beautiful counterattacks.
Ferdinand Jr. personally wrote a letter to Blucher in Poland, in which Ferdinand Jr. not only expressed his gratitude to Blucher for being able to send troops to help him, but also praised Blucher Jr. and praised him as one of the few famous Prussian generals.
Of course, in addition to singing praises of virtue, Ferdinand Jr. also tactfully proposed to Blucher that he hoped that Blucher could order the two divisions to cooperate with him with all their might, and it would be better if he could cooperate with himself regardless of casualties.
Ferdinand Jr. knew that he had to write such a letter to Blucher.
There are many types of support, and using one-tenth of your strength is to help and doing your best is also helping, but the gap between these two types of help is very obvious.
Ferdinand Jr. naturally hoped for the latter form of help, but it was obvious that it was impossible for the other party to help him unreservedly, after all, everyone had their own calculations in their hearts, and the Military Department's request to Blucher was to send troops to support the Silesian theater of operations, and did not specify how much combat these reinforcements needed to play.
At the end of the letter, Ferdinand made it clear that as long as Bleucher could help him, the Braunschweig family would be Blucher's closest allies in the future.
