Chapter 575: The Horn


William did not object to Dessau's arrangement, and under the escort of Dessau's personal guards, William quickly left the battlefield.

After seeing William leave, both Dessau and the Prussian officers who were paying attention to it at any time breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that although William could inspire the military to a certain extent, it also made the Prussian officers feel relieved.

Seeing William's figure disappearing from his sight, Lucius was anxious, but now the whole battle situation is not good for them, you must know that a cavalry regiment in Prussia has more than 1,000 people, and there were a total of 300 cavalry under Lucius before, but because the pursuit was too urgent, some of the cavalry were left behind.

Now, as the two armies fought, Lucius's troops, already exhausted, were completely at a disadvantage in the face of the Prussian cavalry, whose morale was at its peak.

Physically tired, but mentally excited, Lucius suddenly found himself in a dangerous situation, with a group of Prussian cavalry separating him from the rest of the soldiers.

After cursing in his heart, Lucius finally stopped fighting hard with those Prussian cavalry, turned his horse's head and rushed back.

But the breakthrough was not a simple matter for Lucius at this moment, more and more Prussian cavalry stood between Lucius and his friends, and the Hungarian cavalry, which had lost its commander, was now in danger of being surrounded and annihilated.

Suddenly, a gunshot rang out, and Lucius, who had been as hard as an iron man, fell straight down, and a Prussian cavalryman stood not far behind him and blew the white smoke rising from the muzzle.

Lucius is dead.......

This news was undoubtedly bad news for the Hungarian cavalry who were fighting on the battlefield.

Less than 200 Hungarian cavalrymen were left on the battlefield and turned their horses to escape, but by now they were surrounded by Prussian troops.

Soon.

Under the attack of the Prussian army, these Hungarian soldiers were either killed or captured by the Prussian army.

Seeing that the Austrian cavalry on the battlefield had been wiped out, Dessau stood on a high place and said to White, who had come to report: "White scattered your people to the west to investigate, once you find the situation, you will use it to report it immediately, and remember to search for the whereabouts of His Excellency Buel!"

White, who was covered in blood, turned around without saying a word and went to arrange it after the military order was issued in Dessau.

Not long after White left, the rest of the 4th Division and the royal guards led by Horn arrived at the scene.

Originally, Hornd met William on the way to lead the army, and according to Hornd's intention, he was going to escort William to Bratner.

However, under William's reprimand, Hornard still led the royal guards to come here, and Horn came with William's edict, that is, the command of the royal guards was officially handed over to Marshal Dessau in writing.

With the support of the Royal Guard, Dessau's confidence was greatly increased, and at the same time, Dessau also received news of the Seventh Division.

After the rendezvous of Dessau and William.

Dessau sent his men back to Bratna and ordered the transfer of the Nichlau Division of the Seventh Division.

The 7th Division, which had been crippled in the previous battle, had now recovered some of its strength with the strong support of the Prussian military headquarters, and the total strength had reached 7,000 men.

Together with the Royal Guard and the Fourth Division, in the forests west of Bratna, Dessau could call upon an army of nearly 30,000 men.

Although the 30,000 men were mounted on foot, rather than the 20,000 troops as in Austria, Dessau was confident that he would be able to inflict heavy losses on Karl's troops in the forest.

After all, the hilly terrain limited the play of cavalry units.

At this moment, in an open area that William had passed before, the main force of the Austrian army led by Karl caught up with the returning Triker's department, and when Karl saw Trik, Karl's anger did not come to him, knowing that he had sent a thousand men to Trik.

And these thousand men were only used to pursue the dozens of Prussians in that area.

Now it's good that Trick has found nothing except for some small fish and shrimp.

How this doesn't make Carl angry.

Seeing the anger on Carl's face, even Trick couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive in his heart, don't look at Trick as if he was an uncle in front of his subordinates, but for the Archduke Carl in front of him, Trick had nothing but fear.

At the beginning, Karl was in charge of the Hungarian cavalry, and these unruly Magyars from the Hungarian steppe were somewhat unconvinced, but then Karl proved with his practical actions that he was not only superior to these Hungarians in terms of identity, but also not inferior to these Hungarians in intelligence and physical strength.

And Trick was punished by Carl in front of the whole army in a heads-up, and after that, Trick was as respectful as he was in front of Carl.

Seeing Trick with his head lowered deeply, although Carl had a belly of anger in his heart, he didn't let it out at the moment.

Karl knew that with the flight of those Prussians, their tracks were completely hidden, and it was useless to regret it, and Trick, as the vanguard general in the army, was even more difficult to punish, and the unauthorized use of the army before the Great War would undoubtedly cause turmoil in the army.

"Trick, I'll give you another chance, this time you are still marching towards Bratna as the vanguard of the army, you must deal with all the potential threats along the way, otherwise, don't say I'm too harsh on you when the time comes!"

Hearing the potentially threatening words in Carl's words, Trick's face turned a little pale, but despite this, Trick responded.

After responding to Carl's assigned military duties, Trick continued to lead his men forward, and after Trick left, Carl personally commanded the army to follow Trick's pace.

Although Karl seemed a little indifferent when facing his subordinates, only Carl himself knew in his heart how nervous he was now, after all, his success or failure today was related to the war situation between the two countries.

After returning to Bratna, William did not rush back to his station at the first time, but came to the army command center in Bratna, and after arriving at the command center, William urgently summoned all the staff officers in the command center, and one after another military orders came out of William's mouth, in addition to sending troops to support Dessau, he also ordered the army to strengthen Bratna's defense, and at the same time, William also issued orders to the Prussian army on the left and right Bohemian line in the name of the Prussian king, They were to be constantly on the lookout for an attack by the Austrian army on the opposite side.
