In the era of cold weapons and the early days of hot weapons, cavalry has always been the dominant class of troops on the battlefield, and when the cavalry in clusters charges together, the picture scroll of iron and blood is undoubtedly epic!
Compared with the French cavalry, although Samaran's subordinates look more decent, they are undoubtedly slightly inferior to the French cavalry in terms of combat effectiveness, and the French cavalry's suicidal attack method makes many British cavalry feel cold.
And when the cuirassiers of one of the regiments of the French cavalry smashed through the formation of the center of the British cavalry, the British cavalry was immediately divided in half by the French, and the anxious Samaran shouted: "Move closer to me, quick!
Draw on me!
” A shout was a little insignificant compared to the noisy shouting and killing sound on the entire battlefield, but it was enough for the nearly 100 people around Samaran to hear it clearly, and unfortunately, among the nearly 100 people, there were a few French cavalry who had just approached.
"The commander of the enemy is that bearded man, everyone rush!"
Although Samaran's flag has always been held aside, out of the consideration of protecting the commander, Samaran's dress is almost the same as that of the guards around him, except for a slight difference in his sleeve, but it is naturally difficult to identify his true identity in such a situation.
But now Samaran's shout undoubtedly revealed his position, and what's worse is that with the shouts of those French cavalry, the French cavalry rushing to Samaran's side became more and more, and the posture was naturally more desperate.
Soon.
Mana got the news, and then saw Mana shouting to everyone around him: "Give me an attack on the enemy's commander-in-chief, and let the cavalry of the third squadron go around to the rear of the area.
The enemy's generals must not be allowed to escape!
” With Mana's order, numerous French cavalry abandoned the enemy in front of them and turned to the position of Samaran to attack.
The British officers were also trying to regroup their ranks to try to solve the problems encountered by Samaran, but as the situation in Samaran became more and more unfavorable, the morale of the British army had dropped by more than half, and many British cavalry became a little overwhelmed.
Several French cavalry had already rushed to Samaran's side.
And Samaran naturally saw the ecstasy and hideous look on the faces of these French cavalrymen.
"No, I can't die here, I'm a nobleman of the Empire.
My future is bright, and I must not fall here!
” With this in mind, Samaran swung his saber at a French cavalryman diagonally opposite him.
Samaran was the commander of the British 15th Cavalry Division, before the British Expeditionary Force set foot in the Netherlands.
The 15th Cavalry Division was primarily based in the West Indies to suppress indigenous resistance there.
It can be said that the 15th Cavalry Division is one of the few cavalry divisions in the British ** team that has experienced many battles.
But even so, the army that can be called the best in the British cavalry is still quite different from the cavalry of the first-class European powers, and Samaran, as the commander of the 15th Cavalry Division, is also in the British army, which is famous for its hierarchy and enjoyment of life, how much combat effectiveness can Samaran have in his upper grade.
After only two rounds of parrying, Samaran was suddenly stabbed in the thigh with a saber by the French cavalry who came out from the other side, and just when Samaran was suddenly stunned because of the stabbing, the French cavalry in front of him seized this opportunity and swung the saber fiercely at Samaran's neck.
"Farewell.
This world!
” This was the last thing Samaran wanted to say when he closed his eyes, but in the end he couldn't say it.
After the death of Samaran.
There was a loud cheer among the French cavalry, and the flag that had been held tightly by Samaran's guards was cut down by the French cavalry shortly after Samaran's death.
Crashed.
With the flag being cut down, all the British cavalry on the battlefield collapsed, no matter how the British officers shouted, but the huge panic in their hearts still caused most of the British cavalry to collapse, and desperately turning the horse's head and then galloping without sparing horsepower seemed to be the only thing those remaining British cavalry could do at the moment.
Samaran, with the rank of major general, commander of the 15th Cavalry Division of the British Army, he became the first senior general of the British Expeditionary Force to die in battle!
Seeing the collapse of the British army, Mana's face revealed a look of joy, he knew that the British would never give up after the death of a general, and those British cavalry who fled would definitely bring the news back to the British army, and his mission was accomplished.
"Retreat, retreat to Beveron!"
Mana shouted confidently, and then retreated in the direction of Beveren, surrounded by the tired but excited French cavalry.
"What do you say!
Is Samaran dead?
” Although the news had been received from the fleeing British cavalry and had been confirmed, Mana still could not believe it.
Samaran is not just a major general, if it were simple, Samaran would never hold the important position of commander of the 15th Cavalry Division, and Samalan's full name is Samaran.
Walpole, he is from the Walpole family of the British political world.
Speaking of the Walpole family, we have to mention Robert.
Lord Walpole, who was not only the ancestor of the Walpole family but also the first prime minister in British history, held the entire government of the British Empire for twelve years from 1730 to 1742.
Although Sir Robert died in 1745, as a political family, the Walpoles did not disappear into the British upper class with the death of Sir Sir They, as an important part of the Whig Party and the main supporters, the Walpoles still have a lot of energy and occupy a non-negligible part of the British political map.
And Samaran is the first in line to inherit the Walpole family's generation.
Ralph wanted to open his mouth to scold his mother, but what he needed to consider most at the moment was not the adverse effects that Samaran's death might bring to him, but the fifligate defeat of the 15th Cavalry Division that shook the hearts of the entire British ** team.
When Ralph learned that despite the defeat of the 15th Cavalry Division, the French cavalry unit had also suffered heavy losses and was retreating towards the Beveren area, the ruthless Ralph decided to lead his army to the Beveren area after a night's rest!

After appointing himself a more important staff officer on weekdays, John Brown.
When Colonel Moore took over the command of the 15th Cavalry Division, Ralph turned his gaze to the map on the table, which was the detailed map of the Austrian Netherlands.
Born in 1761, John is only thirty-one years old this year, but his age did not prevent John from showing his talents, and in Ralph's staff, John's brilliance was never overshadowed, and even many times, Ralph would be directly influenced by John.
After the Battle of Recht, the strength of the British 15th Cavalry Division dropped from 4,600 to more than 1,100, but all this was still worth looking forward to for John.
Staff officers and commanders are always different, even if the most talented staff officers, his brilliance will always be overshadowed by the commander, even if the supervisor adopts his advice and wins the war, but the commanders who are called heroes are still those who personally lead the army.
So when everyone envied Ralph for trusting John and appreciating him very much, only John himself knew in his heart how much he envied the generals below him who led the army to fight on the front line, even those regimental commanders were his envious targets in John's eyes.
There were only more than 1,000 men left in the 15th Cavalry Division, which didn't matter to John, and with a special relationship with Ralph, John believed that he would be replenished in the shortest possible time.
It is necessary to know that on the battlefield, to see whether the troops are valued by the commander-in-chief, the most important indicator is whether the generals of the troops are trusted by the commander-in-chief, and only those troops commanded by the generals who are valued and trusted by the commander-in-chief are the troops that can be replenished in a timely manner.
It can only be said that factions are everywhere!
And the 15th Cavalry Division has no resistance to John, the new division commander, or the 15th Cavalry Division, which has just experienced defeat, is now immersed in sadness and lamentation, and no one will be curious or close to the new division commander. ...............
After leading his army to the front, William immediately met with Dessau.
"Your Majesty, it is really a dereliction of duty for your subordinates to bother you to come to the front line in person!"
"Marshal Dessau, you and I are the ministers, but there is no need to say these words, everyone understands the meaning of this war for us Prussia, so our first thing is to go all out for this war, and now that I have come here, then it is also for this goal, so your Excellency Marshal, you don't need to be pressured, only you are the commander here, and what I need is to help you boost the morale of my Prussian soldiers!"
Hearing William say this, Dessau breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but also felt a little ashamed of his previous thoughts.
Dessau had thought many times about the issue of command after William's arrival before William's arrival, in Dessau's view, William was indeed very good, but William had not experienced many wars, war was not just on paper, and the last time William led the army to victory in the Austro-Prussian War did not show how high William's attainments had been in the war.
You must know that in the long river of history, there are countless geniuses, but only a few people have the last laugh, and the others have withered.
Part of the reason for this is because the so-called geniuses do exist, but most of the geniuses are a flash of inspiration at a certain time, and Jiang Lang is talking about this kind of thing!
