; Soon, the British troops rushed to a distance of less than fifty meters from the French troops, and at this moment, some French soldiers who had run out of ammunition also loaded their bayonets on the orders of the officers.....
Read "Get on the bayonet, rush!"
Standing on the front line, Mirel yelled at the soldiers beside him.
The French soldiers, armed with bayonets, rushed out of the trenches and rushed towards the British not far away when they were still a few steps away from them.
However, in the blink of an eye, the two armies collided fiercely, and fierce sparks collided between the British army in red uniforms and the French army in blue uniforms, and blood became the main theme of the entire battlefield at this moment.
"Order the cavalry to go out and let them charge towards the enemy's left flank!"
Brooke said to the herald beside him, and then the British cavalry, which had been scattered on both sides of the army, gathered on the right flank of the British army and rushed towards the line of defense of the French Mirel.
This was quickly caught by Hagen.
"Let the cavalry units fend off the British cavalry!
At the same time, the 19th Regiment was ordered to immediately reinforce Mirel's division, and the enemy infantry attack must be repulsed before the British cavalry arrived!
” A horn sounded in the rear of the French army, and when a horn was heard from the rear, a smile appeared on the face of Mirel, who was confronting two British soldiers.
"Brothers, hold me up!
Our reinforcements are coming!
” Roaring, taking advantage of the momentum, Mirel raised his saber and attacked a British soldier directly in front of him.
Although the two British soldiers in front of Mirell couldn't understand what Mirell was saying, they saw Mirell finish yelling.
The morale of the French troops around him suddenly rose a little, and after the two glanced at each other, they also rushed towards Mirel with bayonets.
He saw two British soldiers rushing towards him.
Mirel leaned backwards to dodge a bayonet stabbed by a British soldier, then swung forward with the saber in his hand to block another bayonet, and after dodging two blows, Mirel slid forward, and the saber in his hand stabbed directly into the chest of one of the British soldiers.
Just as Mirel drew his bayonet and was about to make further efforts, he heard a huge sound of horses' hooves on the battlefield, and the earth-shaking sound of horses' hooves shook the entire battlefield, and a large group of British cavalry rushed towards the left flank of the French army.
"Hell.
What the hell is Hawke doing!
Didn't I let him hold back the cavalry of the British!
” "Your Excellency, the British have too many cavalry, and Lieutenant Colonel Hawke can't stop it at all!"
Although Hagen was furious at this moment, the staff officer beside him had to bite the bullet and explain for the lieutenant colonel Hawke.
"Quick, order the reserves to go to the left flank immediately, where they must not be breached!"
If there was one place on the entire front that worried Hagen the most, it was undoubtedly the left flank defense line that Mirel was in charge of.
The left flank of the French army, where Mirel's headquarters was located, was the highest terrain in the entire battlefield.
It was a slightly rising hill on a plain.
This hill can be said to be the commanding height of the entire battlefield and the main position of the French artillery, once the left flank is lost, then the British can sweep down, and then the British will have an advantage in the face of the rest of the French defense line on slightly lower ground.
As soon as Brooke arrived on the battlefield, he saw the importance of the position of the left flank of the French army to the entire battlefield, so he also deployed heavy troops in the-for-tat position.
Six thousand British soldiers and two thousand reservists were Brooke's gift to the French left flank.
"Order the right flank reserve into battle, and at the same time order the cavalry troops to rush me in one go!"
Seeing that the tide of battle was tilting in his favor, Brooke smiled and gave the order again.
This order further aggravated the situation on the left flank of the French army.
"Immediately send troops to the rescue of the left flank!"
"But general, once the army is withdrawn, it will inevitably cause turmoil on other fronts.
And as soon as the right flank and the center are broken through by the British, then our rear road may be blocked!
” Heard that Hagen was going to draw troops from other lines of defense.
His staff officers immediately objected.
The French line of defense was exactly a diagonal line, and the right side of this diagonal line blocked the road from Recht to Nicoste, while the left flank was on the other side, forming an angle to the road.
In this way, once the right flank is broken through by the British, then the situation on the battlefield presents a semi-encirclement of the French by the British, and once this pattern is formed, it will be very difficult for Hagen to retreat.
"I'll let you pull it, and you pull it!
Is there any news from the heralds who were sent to chase General Mana before?
” Hagen roared angrily at the staff officer beside him, and when he saw the hideous expression on Hagen's face, the staff officer's neck shrank and he didn't make a sound.
After that, the French army threw all their reserves into the left flank, and at the same time, the right flank of the French army and the center army also drew more than 1,000 men to form reinforcements to support the left flank.

The British cavalry stirred up the situation on the entire left flank, and although the French army once again sent reinforcements to the left flank, the British army already had the upper hand, and the addition of these reinforcements did not allow the French to take the initiative on the battlefield again.
And just as Hagen was drawing troops and sending all reserves to reinforce the left flank, the British commander Brooke was blinded.
"Come, put all the reserves on the left flank, storm the French there, and be sure to break through the enemy line!"
With a trumpet, I saw the British reserves rushing out from the rear and rushing directly to the right flank of the French army.
"Oops!"
Hagen's face changed, but then Hagen gritted his teeth and shouted at the staff officers and guards beside him: "Everyone immediately took up arms and followed me to the right flank!"
Hagen had only a hundred guards and dozens of civilians left on his side, but at this time, without saying a word, they took up their weapons and followed Hagen towards the French army's right flank position.
Just as Hagen was about to sacrifice his life, he saw a large cloud of smoke and dust suddenly rising from the road behind the French army, and Hagen's face immediately became ecstatic "Quick, go and give the order, let the reinforcements immediately support the right flank of our army, and at the same time order the whole line of troops to hold on, our reinforcements are coming!"
The smoke and dust on the road caught Brooke's attention, but he was not ready to give up at this time, and even for Brooke, the more reinforcements from the French army came, the better, because the main force of the British army was not far from Beveren, and the heralds of the main force of the Chinese army had even arrived in Brooke's army.
"The British Empire can never fail, it's time to make those French pay the price, even if the French reinforcements arrive, it won't change the situation, our main force will be there in two hours, let everyone hold on to me!"
The Battle of Beveren ended with a small victory for the British army, although in the later part of the battle, a division of French infantry arrived on the battlefield, but after that, the main force of the British Chinese army also arrived on the battlefield, and after the arrival of the main force of the British army, the French, who saw that the situation was not good, had to fight and retreat, and the hills that had been repeatedly contested by both sides were reluctantly abandoned. .................................
After a day's march of 20,000 Austrian cavalry had reached the Zaberge area, and after arriving at Zaberge, the 20,000 cavalry had to stop for a while, and after a period of rest, the 20,000 cavalry changed direction and immediately lurked in the direction west of the city of Bratna.
After discovering that the Austrian cavalry had died down on the battlefield, Marshal Dessau of Bratner immediately issued a strict order to the Prussian army on full line, and the Prussian army also strengthened the frequency of communication between the various lines of defense, but even so, Dessau still had some worries in his heart.
Standing on the top of the mountain, William's mood can be said to be very good, you must know that since arriving at the front, although it seems that William is the commander of the entire Prussian army, but out of trust in Marshal Dessau and the idea of specialization, William did not take power, which also made William look a little boring in the barracks.
In this world without the Internet, William's favorite sport besides polo is hunting, after all, it is also one of the few sports in this era.
In a short time, William and his group hunted two fawns and three hares, knowing that it was already winter, and this result was already good.
"Your Majesty, it's not too early now, do you think we're going back here?"
Hearing Buel's words, William looked up at the weather, the white Japan in winter seemed a little short, and William and the others had already run a long distance, so it was almost time to go back at this time.
Of course, William wouldn't think so, you must know that William is difficult to make a trip, after all, even in Bratna City, the things he needs to deal with can still be said to fill the whole table.
"Buel, it's rare to have this gap today, and we're also supplying now, so let's go back later!"
After speaking, William kicked his war horse, and the war horse carried William and continued to rush towards the woods.
Seeing William continue to advance towards the woods, Buel had no choice but to reluctantly beckon the guards to follow William's footsteps.
A group of more than 30 people came to a hill, under the hill happened to be a small lake, the sunset at dusk reflected on the lake made people have a sense of tranquility and peace, at this moment William and his party could not bear to break this beauty.
But at this moment, I saw that Bouel's face suddenly became a little wrong, and soon Bouel raised the telescope in his hand, and with Bouel's movements, William's ears clearly heard that in this world in addition to the sound of the wind blowing through the woods, there was obviously another sound.
"Your Majesty, let's go quickly, there are enemies!"
In order not to cause panic, after putting down the binoculars, Buel immediately whispered in William's ear, and after Buel finished speaking, William's expression also changed.
