Seeing Trick doing this, the soldiers who followed Trick also gritted their teeth and followed suit, and in this situation of chasing at any cost, the distance between Trick and Buel and his party soon narrowed.
Seeing that the pursuit behind him was getting closer and closer, Bouel gritted his teeth and said to the three soldiers beside him: "Let's go separately, remember that as long as we can escape the pursuit of the enemy, we must return to Bratna as soon as possible after we get out and report the situation here to Marshal Dessau!"
Hearing Buel's order, although the three soldiers around him were reluctant, they all knew that Buel's order was undoubtedly the most in line with the current situation, so the three soldiers also raised their horsewhips and spurred the war horses under their crotch to break through separately. ...........................
Lucius led a group of men and horses to quickly rush in the direction of Bratna, as children growing up in the Hungarian steppe, searching for traces is undoubtedly a skill they have cultivated since childhood, and soon Lucius's men reported that they had found some scattered horseshoe prints in front of them, and these horseshoe prints were pointing in the direction of Bratna.
Hearing the soldier's report, Lucius's face revealed a hint of ecstasy.
When Trick pursued Buel before, although the distance was relatively far away, it was still obvious that Buel and his party only had a few people and a few horses, and now according to the soldiers' reports, the traces they found were obviously traces that could only be made by a dozen horses galloping over, according to the current direction and distance.
Lucius knew that perhaps he was facing the biggest fish in the war!
"Don't stop, keep pursuing, knowing that the enemy is the Prussian royal guard.
Even if the king of Prussia is not caught up by us, as long as we capture a few royal guards, then the bounty we get will definitely buy a lot of sheep on the steppe!
” Lucius's words could not help but boost the morale of the soldiers under his command, the current Europe does not have a sound mechanism and excellent welfare like later generations, these soldiers from the Hungarian steppe have suffered from poverty since childhood, and having a herd of their own domestic animals is undoubtedly the greatest ideal in the hearts of these soldiers who have not seen much of the world.
Galloping all the way tested not only the physical strength of the war horse, but also a great test of the soldier's perseverance, and the group covering William's retreat was exhausted at the moment.
But everyone knows that now is not the time to slack off, so everyone is gritting their teeth and persevering.
After running over two hills, William could no longer hear the shouts of his pursuers behind him.
But William did not relax at this moment, he knew that the traces of his group could not be concealed from the enemy who was deliberately pursuing, and the only thing he could do at the moment was to run!
Thanks to the efforts of Karl's army, the fire, which had been deliberately connived at by Buel, had been brought under control.
But Karl had nothing to do with the smoke that was rising into the air.
After all, in this day and age, how can people control the flow of air.
"Your Excellency, news has come from the sentinels of the western suburbs, smoke is rising from the woods in the west, apparently on fire!"
A squire hurried into Dessau's office, for a fire in the woods on the outskirts could not have made the squire so flustered, given that the city of Bratna was surrounded by dense woods, and fires in these woods were not commonplace.
But it also happens often, after all, some farmers in the suburbs sometimes set fire to the land.
The reason why this squire was so flustered.
The reason was that, as Dessau's attendant, the attendant also knew that this morning, His Majesty the King of Prussia, under the protection of a group of royal guards, had gone out of the city to relax, and the place where the distraction had gone was in the woods west of Bratna.
Hearing the news reported by the attendants, Dessau was shocked, obviously Dessau also thought of this layer.
Dessau reacted quickly "Go to His Excellency Horn immediately, and ask him to send the royal guards to the woods in the west to look for His Majesty's traces, and at the same time, let the Fourth Division in the city immediately dispatch to the hilly terrain in the west, be sure to find His Majesty for me and ensure His Majesty's safety!"
At this moment, Dessau's tone of speech is full of anxiety, you must know that in the monarchy** country, the monarch represents a country, and even the safety of the monarch not only involves the country's political situation, but also relates to the rise and fall of the people and the rise and fall of the country!
After speaking, Dessau did not quiet down, but walked to the coat rack on the edge of the office, took off his military hat and walked out, while walking, Dessau did not forget to shout loudly to the guards beside him: "Hurry up and prepare the war horse, let all my guards gather, and follow me to the western suburbs!"
After speaking, Dessau continued to walk out without waiting for the guards beside him to answer.
Soon after Dessau's order was given, the whole of Bratner moved, especially when Dessau's order reached Hornd's ears, and Hornd, as deputy governor of the royal family, was visibly anxious.
You must know that unlike government officials, although in the royal palaces of Europe, the status of the royal courtiers is higher, unlike the Qing Dynasty of the same era, and the ministers of the inner palace are completely the emperor's minions.
However, unlike the ministers of the outer court, the power of the ministers of the inner palace is completely dependent on the monarch, which also means that once something happens to the monarch, then the ministers of the inner palace will not only be affected by their power, but also their personal safety will be greatly affected.
Horn, who received news of Dessau, immediately went to the station of the Royal Guard, although after William led the Royal Guard, Dessau also nominally had the command of the Royal Guard, but Dessau himself knew that this was only in name.
If he really didn't know that the situation was not exceptional, and rashly commanded the royal guard, then the consequences would not be something he could bear.
Unlike Dessau, although Hond is only the deputy head of the royal family, and the royal guard is not his direct subordinate, but as the successor deliberately cultivated by Buel, Hond and the officers of the royal guard are also in the same line, so in this situation.
Only Horn can command the royal guard without committing a taboo.
Of course, it was with this in mind that Dessau would have the news passed on to Horn first, rather than personally giving orders to the royal guards.
When Hound arrived at the royal guard garrison and gathered his army in the shortest possible time, he rushed to the west of Bratna.
The 4th Division, which was stationed in another barracks, was also in a state of emergency mobilization, and the two cavalry regiments of the 4th Division rushed towards the west of Bratna as soon as Dessau's order was given.
A cloud of smoke will cause such a big movement, but coincidentally, William happens to be in that direction, so even the most calm person will not indifferently watch the smoke rise and not take action, otherwise, if there is a case, it will be the end of death.
It's fifty miles from Bratna.
Lucius led the soldiers to catch up with William and his party, and when he saw the figure of William and his party appear in sight, Lucius's face showed joy "Quick.
Everyone in front of me will give me a spear to knock the enemy down!
” Seeing that William's party was within range of the mounted guns, Lucius did not hesitate to order his soldiers to open fire.
Hearing the gunshot, Kabu, who was protecting William, turned pale, and Kabu did not speak, but deliberately slowed down his horse and fell behind William.
After that, the soldiers under Ka'b also followed suit, and they surrounded William in a half-moon formation behind William.
This is done in order to block bullets from the rear with your body.

Prevent the bullet from hurting William.
Although it was not easy for cavalry to hit or even aim at their targets due to bumps and other problems on horseback, unfortunately Lucius's gang were all Magyars from the Hungarian steppe, who grew up with bows and arrows and guns, and these people would ride on horses from an early age to fight against wolves and even horse thieves who threatened domestic herds.
In such a situation, these people are quite proficient in shooting right away.
The first round of firing quickly paid off, and the two Prussian cavalrymen who landed in the rear were hit by dozens of bullets, and even the horses under their crotches were beaten into a sieve.
The wailing of the horses and the rumble of the heavy falling did not make Kabu look back.
He knew that the immediate priority was to escort William out of here, and for this goal, even if all the soldiers under his command, including himself, were all dead!
"Speed up the horse.
We're almost there!
” Kabu yelled, and then he drew his rifle from his saddle and bent down to take aim backwards.
In terms of marksmanship, Kabu is not inferior to the Hungarian pursuers behind him, because Kabu is a Pole, and a Pole can enter the Prussian royal guard, which shows how powerful Ka'b's combat skills are.
William has been running wildly for more than an hour, and more than an hour of non-stop escape has made William's lips white, you must know that in order to hurry, William has not drunk a drop of water for more than an hour.
And at this moment, in order to increase the speed of the horse, most of the things on William's horse were thrown away, except of course the weapon that was tightly held in William's arms.
The movement behind him naturally reached William's ears, and although William had the heart to turn around and fight those Austrians, he knew that this was not the time to be brave.
The more than 20 cavalry behind William had fallen under the incessant shooting of the pursuers behind him, and there were more than a dozen people left, only Kabu and two other six cavalry were still holding on, for these people, William was grateful in his heart, because if it weren't for the blockage of these people's sacrifice of life and death, I am afraid that he would have gone to see God at this moment.
There are fewer and fewer guards behind him, but there are more and more enemies, when the original twenty or so people are only William and Kabu, William suddenly has a trace of fear in his heart, as a traverser he has too many things to do, he is unwilling to die here!
Brandenburg has his wife and his unborn child, and he has not yet completed the task of leading the Kingdom of Prussia to conquer the world!
"Your Majesty, go quickly, I'll block it for you!"
Behind him, Kabu's roar shocked William, who was a little cranky in his heart, and even Kabu hadn't given up yet, and what qualifications did William have at this moment to give up rashly.
Just when William regained his confidence, the scene in front of him made William's nose sour at this moment.
Although he is twenty-three years old this year, and his upbringing experience can be said to be much richer than some people's lifetime experience, it still does not affect the true feelings that William wants to express at this moment.
Because that's the hope of life!
A troop of cavalry appeared not far from William, and the banner held high by this group of cavalry even made William feel the urge to cry with joy, because the pair of cavalrymen were holding high the Prussian flag.
This group of cavalry was the 8th Cavalry Regiment of the 4th Division led by Dessau himself, and Dessau was stunned when he saw William's slightly embarrassed figure and the large number of pursuers behind him, and then when he saw the uniforms and banners of those pursuers, Dessau was furious.
"Damn it!
White.
Order your men to kill me the pursuers behind His Majesty at once!
” After saying that, without waiting for the White commander of the Eighth Cavalry Regiment to speak, Dessau rushed to William's side first.
The sudden appearance of the Prussian army not only gave Wilhelm a sense of despair.
At the same time, it also made Lucius behind William have a very chagrined feeling, if it weren't for the Prussian soldier who stood behind William and shot the most urgent Hungarians with accurate marksmanship, which caused the speed of the whole team to be affected, I am afraid that at this moment, the big man who seemed to be very important would have been captured.
Lucius was not an impulsive person.
But at this moment, even enemy reinforcements appeared.
But Lucius didn't want to give up.
You must know that looking at the situation of Prussia, it is very obvious that what he is chasing must be an important person of the enemy, and it may even be the Prussian king mentioned in the military order, and at the moment this huge feat is only one step away from Lucius, even Lucius, who has always been calm, can't calm down at the moment.
"Brothers, the enemy in front of us, dressed in golden uniform, is the king of Prussia!
Orders of Archduke Karl.
Everyone knows that the title of viscount and 500,000 gold talers are enough for the brethren to become the most powerful men in the steppe!
Instead of living in humility all your life, it is better to fight at this moment.
As long as we catch that person, all of us will live a life that we didn't dare to think of before, and everyone will be a noble lord!
The fate of a lifetime will be doomed today, everyone will follow me!
” From the mouth of Lucius came a shout, but this cry was like a slogan, and the whole army rang out with a shout, and all the Magyar soldiers, encouraged by words, rushed towards the Prussians with their weapons held aloft and fearless death!
"Quick, speed up the horses, everyone avoid Your Majesty, and all shoot at the enemy!"
Under White's orders, more than 1,000 cavalrymen of the Eighth Cavalry Regiment rushed towards the Austrian cavalry on the opposite side like a wave, of course, this wave directly vacated a considerable distance when it met William.
Ten minutes was a long time for William, because it was like going from hell to heaven to him.
Although Lucius's troops behind him fired countless bullets when William did not join the Prussian army, it was amazing that none of these bullets hit William, and I have to say that this is definitely a miracle of God!
Soon Dessau rushed to William's side, and after rushing to William's side, Dessau immediately looked at William's back, fortunately there was no scar there, and this discovery also made Dessau's heart relax a lot.

"Marshal Dessau, you immediately command the troops to annihilate the enemy here, and at the same time immediately send an order to the meeting Bratna, there are at least more than 10,000 Austrian cavalry in the woods in the western suburbs, I think these Austrian cavalry must have ulterior motives, we must be on guard!"
As he spoke, William laboriously opened his mouth and moistened his long-dried lips with his tongue, and seeing William like this, Dessau hurriedly untied the water bladder from his war horse and handed it to William.
After receiving the water bladder, William immediately drank it regardless of the image, and while William was drinking, Dessau's heart was digesting the huge amount of information in the words that William had just said.
After William finished drinking, Dessau immediately asked William: "Your Majesty, I will arrange someone to escort you back, as for the enemy here, I will solve it, and the minister has already dispatched the fourth division and contacted His Excellency Hound to arrange for the royal guards to come to support, if the time permits, the minister thinks it is a good way to eliminate these Austrian cavalry here with the help of the terrain restrictions on cavalry!"
William, who was already a little exhausted, waved his hand and said: "You are the best commander in the entire war zone, everything here will be decided by you, and as for the royal guard, I will personally give orders for Hond to cooperate with you.
By the way, Buel is trying to cover me, and I don't know what the situation has become now, you must pay attention!
” As a minister who has a good relationship with Buel, even if William doesn't say Dessau, he will pay attention, after all, William is alone here at this moment.
And the reason why Dessau didn't mention Bouel before was also to prevent provoking William, after all, no matter what, it is not a good reputation for his subordinates to cover their lives to escape.
