Karl was escorted away from the battlefield by his own guards, and after leaving the battlefield, some of the guards began to gather the remnants of the troops around the area under the orders of a staff officer, while the other part of the guards continued to cover Carl's flight westward.
About an hour after leaving the battlefield, Carl woke up on horseback, at this moment he was firmly tied to the horse's back with a rope, and after waking up, Carl felt that he was tied to the horse's back and immediately shouted: "Release me, guard, guard!"
Just as he opened his mouth to speak, the guards beside him also reacted immediately.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, we are here!"
Hearing someone answer, Karl breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, to be honest, just now Karl found out that he was tied up for fear that he was captured by the Prussians, if he was really captured, I am afraid that Karl himself would not know what to do.
God bless was shouted in his heart, and on his lips, Karl asked: "Did we win?
Is the march on Bratna now?
” Hearing Carl's question, the guards around him, including several staff officers, lowered their heads one after another, and seeing that the atmosphere was cold for a while, Carl's heart felt as if he had been pressed against a huge stone.
"Could it be that we have lost?
That's impossible!
We've clearly got the edge!
” Several people around Karl, who said this bluntly, had tears in their eyes, and a staff officer choked up and replied: "Your Highness, we have failed, and after you are wounded, our army will be defeated!"
Hearing this, Carlton, who had just woken up, sank.
Then he passed out again.
At Bratna, despite Dessau's victory, the Prussian army was still in a state of grief.
The cost of this battle is simply too great.
So big that every company of the Prussian army had people killed.
After the army returned to the city, William personally went to the respective troops to offer condolences, and now he was not worried about the army, when would he be appeased. .....................
Standing at the forefront of the position, Tuha stood from morning to evening, but no smoke rose in the direction of Bratna, and this scene was seen.
Tuha's heart was half cold.
According to his agreement with Carl, today is the time for Carl to raid Bratna, but no smoke has risen until now.
It can be seen that Karl has failed.
To be honest, at this time, Tuha's heart was very complicated.
He didn't know if he should be sad at this time, since he came to Bohemia.
Hardly in the hands of the Prussian army was taken advantage of.
This made Tuha begin to reflect on what caused the current situation.
Finally, in the dark night, with the support of his guards, Tuha left the front line, looking at the snowflakes that began to fall in the sky, Tuha suddenly remembered that the day after tomorrow seemed to be Christmas.
At the time of the victory of the Prussian army, in the area of Nicholas.
Napoleon also won a victory over the British army, and 70,000 British troops were under the French army's motto of "chasing the poor with the leftovers".
Less than 5,000 people escaped safely back to the Netherlands, and it can be said that the main force of the British expeditionary force was lost!
What makes the British feel even more sad is that this battle not only buried the main force of the British Empire's army, but also killed or captured a large number of top British generals, and the commander of the British Expeditionary Force, Ralph, also became a prisoner of the French ** team.
At first, because of the caution of the forward army commander Brooke, the French army took advantage of Brooke's body, but it was precisely because of Brooke's small victory at Beveron that a group of radicals in the expeditionary force seized the opportunity, and these people kept persuading Ralph to speed up the march and catch up with the French army and be completely annihilated.
Under the persuasion of these men, coupled with Brooke's victory, Ralph also preferred to start a decisive battle with the French army as soon as possible to determine the victory, and it was under such circumstances, at Ralph's request, that Brooke had to speed up his march and encounter the main French army led by Napoleon himself in the Nicholas area.
In the face of the prepared French army, the British forward army, which was extremely inferior in terms of strength, was quickly defeated, although it was encouraged by Brooke, but in the face of the trap set by the French army, especially when the British ** team faced the fierce bombardment of hundreds of French artillery, the British army was indisputably defeated.
And the veteran Brooke was martyred.
After defeating the British forward army, Napoleon did not stop there, but personally led the main French army to cover behind the British forward rout.
When these routs appeared in front of the main force of the British army, all the British soldiers were stunned, and what they didn't expect was that behind these defeated comrades was the main force of the French ** team.
Caught off guard, the French army broke the British army several times, and even Ralph personally led the army to press the formation, but in the end it was not able to reverse the situation on the battlefield, and Ralph himself was captured by the French army.
After his victory over the British Expeditionary Force, Napoleon did not continue to lead his army to the reconquest of Antwerp.
In spite of the constant urging of the Austrian governor, Napoleon kept his army under Beveren and did not take a single step.
In Napoleon's view, the purpose of his own troops had been accomplished, and he did not send troops to fight the British or the Prussians to the death, but the main purpose of this time was to eliminate the threat of the British expeditionary force to the French mainland, and now that the threat had been eliminated, Napoleon did not think that he had the obligation to help the Austrians recover Antwerp.
Moreover, Napoleon can be said to cherish the army under his command, unlike those princes or warlords in history, Napoleon did not have a solid base, which means that Napoleon's soldiers died one less and one less.
Originally, Louis XVI still made some additions to Napoleon's army, but since Napoleon was stationed in Calais, Louis XVI has not sent a single reinforcement to Napoleon.
It would certainly be false to say that Napoleon had no opinion on this, but Napoleon also knew that the current Louis XVI could be said to be quite jealous of him.
This jealousy was not only directed against Napoleon's army, but also against Napoleon himself!

When Napoleon insisted on sacking Paris in order to fulfill his promise to his soldiers, despite the objections of the Palace of Versailles, Napoleon not only went to the aristocratic families who had made their home in Paris, but also made Louis XVI even more jealous of him.
In addition, the current financial situation in France is not very good, so Napoleon's repeated official letters to the Palace of Versailles requesting the replenishment of logistics and military resources were all rejected by Louis XVI on the grounds of financial difficulties.
Before Napoleon defeated the British expeditionary force, Napoleon knew that his greatest enemy was the British, because once the British soldiers came to the French mainland, not only Louis XVI, but even Napoleon himself was resolutely intolerable to the British, after all, in the relatively open society of Britain, some of Napoleon's previous actions had already made him the title of "butcher and villain".
But now that the threat of the British has been removed, Louis XVI is now Napoleon's main defensive target.
After Napoleon's troops, Napoleon was not necessarily able to defeat the British in any way, and it was in this situation that Louis XVI not only did not send 30,000 Spanish troops to reinforce Napoleon, but even cut off Napoleon's main logistical transportation line from Canada to Nicholas, which had to make Napoleon dissatisfied.
At best, of the 30,000 horses that Spain had supported, Louis XVI had stayed in the south to suppress the revolutionary wave there.
And if you think about it on the bad side, those 30,000 horses were completely Louis XVI's hand to guard against Napoleon!
Napoleon did not think that there was any need for repression against the revolutionaries in the south, and in all the repressions, those more active revolutionaries in the south were killed by Napoleon.
Now, Napoleon's sights were on the Austrian Netherlands, a region that was not only close to mainland France, but also had good roads, bustling cities, fertile land, and a large number of people.
What's more, apart from its proximity to France and the Netherlands, there was no threat to the south of the Netherlands, where the states of the Holy Roman Empire were located.
So after defeating the British army, Napoleon had already decided to occupy the Austrian Netherlands, of course, Napoleon was French after all, if he was rashly stationed in the Austrian Netherlands without any reason, then he would not only face Austrian accusations, but also expose his ambitions in front of Versailles.
It is with this in mind that Napoleon will absolutely stop pursuing the British ** team that has become a frightened bird, and only if Antwerp continues to be in the hands of the British, will he Napoleon have a reason to stay in the Austrian Netherlands!
At present, Napoleon's eyes have been set on Brussels, as the capital of the Austrian Netherlands and the richest city in the Austrian Netherlands, for Napoleon, this city is not only his place, but also will become the necessary treasury for his military expansion!
Of course, the Austrians were completely unaware of what Napoleon was thinking, and the governor of the Austrian Netherlands hid in Brussels when Napoleon was fighting a decisive battle with the British expeditionary force.
The governor only knew that the French army had won.
Therefore, after Napoleon's army was temporarily unable to march into Antwerp under the pretext that his army had suffered heavy losses, the governor had no choice but to secretly curse Napoleon as a waste.
