"Where's the sound!"
Just when William was about to take the weapon in his military uniform, Horn hurriedly walked in, and when he saw William who was already dressed in military uniform, Horn was stunned, and then he immediately said: "Your Majesty, the French army in the city of Nicholas has launched an attack on us, and now the enemy army has broken through our guard tower and is rushing towards the Chinese army!"
Immediately after hearing Hornder's words, William said: "Send someone to immediately transfer the two imperial divisions over to reinforce the battalion!"
Just as Horn was about to leave the military tent and go out to give the order, William patted his head and said: "Wait a minute, the order just now is null and void!
Don't call the two Imperial Divisions to come and reinforce them, just let them know to be on guard!
” "But Your Majesty!"
Hearing William's inconsistent order, Horn asked puzzled, but before Hornd could finish speaking, William said: "There are more than 24,000 Prussian soldiers in our camp, and there are only 30,000 enemies in the city of Nicholas, and even if they all come out, there are only 30,000 of them.
With so many of our fighters, we will definitely be able to hold out until dawn, and it is not too late to send reinforcements after dawn!
” Without waiting for Horn to object, William waved his hand and kicked Horn out.
In William's opinion, even if Napoleon transferred back the 20,000 troops deployed from Nicholas to central Brussels, Napoleon's army would be 50,000, while William had more than 20,000 Prussian troops under his command.
Especially in the Prussian army, there were elite divisions such as the royal guard, and in Wilhelm's opinion, even if Napoleon personally brought 50,000 troops, it was impossible to conquer the Prussian army camp overnight.
And if the Imperial Division was to come to reinforcements at this time, it would be in Napoleon's arms.
After all, how much combat effectiveness the miscellaneous emperor ** who came in a hurry can maintain in the dark night, William really has no bottom in his heart.
In fact, when Napoleon planned to send troops to attack the Prussian army camp at night, he prepared two sets of plans, one plan was that Napoleon personally led the cavalry to attack the Prussian army camp, if the Prussian combat effectiveness was weak, then the forward cavalry led by Napoleon could just open a gap for the follow-up infantry.
Another plan was that if the Prussian army was heavily defended and called for reinforcements, then the main infantry force behind the French cavalry could attack those Imperial divisions.
Compared with the Prussian army, the combat effectiveness of the Imperial divisions was undoubtedly much worse.
After all, the Imperial Divisions were cobbled together by the Henine States, and under the cover of night, Napoleon could have taken these Imperial Divisions by surprise.
Even if the night attack on the Prussian army camp is unsuccessful, if these two imperial divisions can be disabled, then tonight's night attack can be said to be successful.
The French cavalry led by Napoleon did not pay any attention to the watchtowers outside the Prussian camp.
They had only one goal, and that was the Prussian army's battalion.
Soon.
Three thousand French cavalry approached the Prussian camp, and at this moment behind the fence of the Prussian camp there were already groups of Prussian soldiers, these Prussian soldiers who were forcibly dragged out of the bed by the officer, have entered the battle state at this moment, although many of them are disheveled, but at least their armed belts and weapons are firmly grasped in their hands.
"Prepare !!"
When the Prussian officer in the outermost line heard the sound of horses' hooves becoming more and more distinct, he immediately shouted loudly, and heard the officer's order.
The Prussian soldiers also immediately raised their weapons.
"Hound, get the cavalry regiment of the Guards ready immediately!
And let the cavalry of the 6th Division also be ready.
Concentrate them in the rear, and tell Lugake that the 6th Division must hold its position and never allow it to be broken through by the French!
” After walking out of the military tent, Napoleon immediately said to Horn beside him, and after hearing William's words, Horn immediately relayed William's order to the heralds around him.
The Prussian camp was arranged in a triangular shape, and in the direction of Nicholas was the tip of the triangle.
Less than a hundred paces from the fence of the Prussian camp, the French cavalry had already revealed its silhouette in the light of the lights, despite the cover of night.
Immediately the officers shouted in the ranks of the Prussian army, "Shoot!"
”。
After one round of bullets was fired, without waiting for the officer's order, the Prussian soldiers in the back row opened fire again, and so on for three rounds to complete.
But what the Prussian army did not expect was that these French cavalry did come within a hundred paces, but after entering, these French troops immediately dispersed on both sides.
As mentioned above, the Prussian camp was arranged in a triangle, and the French cavalry, after the Prussian fire, kept a distance of 100 paces from the enemy guarding the Prussian camp and rushed over like two parallel lines.
This move of the French army made the Prussian army somewhat unexpected, and the officers looked at each other, not knowing what the French army was going to do.
However, soon, under Napoleon's orders, the mystery was revealed, and the French cavalry who had dodged three rounds of fire immediately accelerated towards the fence of the Prussian camp, which made the Prussian officer a little stunned, but he soon ordered his soldiers to immediately reload their ammunition and continue to shoot at the French army.
But the officer's stunned kung fu has made the French cavalry approach the Prussian camp fifty paces, when the Prussian soldiers fired another round of ammunition, only to see a French cavalry pull out of the long rope hidden behind them, and then by the speed of the horse, these soldiers in the distance from the Prussian camp when there are still more than a dozen steps away, a pull on the reins of the war horse under the crotch to make the war horse and the Prussian camp to maintain a parallel posture, and at this time, these French soldiers have thrown out the long rope in their hands.
These French cavalrymen with long ropes in their hands can be said to be the elite of Napoleon's command, and there are less than 300 such soldiers under Napoleon's command, and at this time these 300 people are all among the 1,000 people who hit the Prussian camp in the first wave.
These three hundred elite cavalry were all hidden behind the ordinary French cavalry when they charged before, and the hundreds of French cavalry in front of them were very good at inducing the Prussian soldiers to shoot three rounds of volleys.
The cavalry leaped out and began to put their skills to work.
Despite the huge losses, nearly 200 cavalry managed to throw the long rope onto the Prussian fence.
These long ropes are attached to the heads of delicate fishhook-like things.
"Accelerate!"

A French cavalry officer sat on his horse and shouted, and then the two hundred or so French soldiers who were dragging long ropes immediately frantically whipped their horses under their crotches like crazy.
Some of the cavalry rolled to the ground because they couldn't eat.
But their comrades-in-arms didn't look at them at all, but continued to frantically urge the war horses under their crotches.
The huge pulling force caused the fence in front of the entire Prussian battalion to shake violently.
"Quick, keep shooting!
Hold down those fences!
” William stood behind and looked through the binoculars, and before anyone else could speak, William immediately ordered.
But it was too late at this time, and finally when there were still more than a hundred French cavalrymen pulling the long rope, there was a "poof" sound.
Several fences that had been tied together were suddenly pulled into the air.
And as the first fence was pulled, a large section of the fence directly in front of the Prussian camp was dragged away by the French cavalry.
I saw that my strategy was successful.
Napoleon's face suddenly showed joy "Ready!"
Immediately the trumpets sounded among the two thousand French cavalry placed on the second front, and the two thousand cavalry formed a huge cone under the constraints of Napoleon, and Napoleon with his guards stood at the forefront and became the sharpest arrow of this cone formation.
"Charge!"
After a loud roar from Napoleon's mouth, Napoleon rushed towards the Prussian camp with his horse under his crotch.
And after those French cavalry pulled up a lot of fences.
William immediately ordered: "Immediately order someone to plug the gaps.
And get the soldiers ready immediately!
Horn, are the cavalry ready?
” "Your Majesty, four thousand five hundred cavalry are ready!"
Horn said in William's ear, and then William nodded, this efficiency was still quite satisfactory to William, and now it was less than fifteen minutes before his order was given, and in fifteen minutes, all the cavalry of the Sixth Division and the Royal Guard could be assembled immediately.
It's not easy.
Of the 4,500 cavalry, 2,000 were attached to the 6th Division.
The remaining 2,500 cavalry were the sum of the three cavalry regiments of the royal guard.
During the Bohemian War, the cavalry of the Royal Guard was depleted, and although it was replenished on a priority basis, it was not yet fully replenished.
"Very good, order all the cavalry to leave the camp immediately, give me the shortest possible time, go around to the rear of the French cavalry, after arriving at the position, the two thousand cavalry of the sixth division immediately attack behind the French cavalry, and the other two thousand five hundred cavalry immediately search for the follow-up troops of the French army, and find that the enemy still has a follow-up army, then the task of these two thousand five hundred cavalry is to drag the enemy's footsteps for me!"
Hearing William's order, Horn immediately answered loudly, and then he said to William: "Your Majesty, I beg you to entrust this task to me!"
William looked at Horn's face, thought for a moment, and then said aloud: "Yes, Horn, since it is requested, then I will give you this task, but if you fail to complete the task, or there is any deviation, then what kind of consequences you will suffer, you should understand yourself!"
"Your Majesty, I understand!
But I still ask you to leave this task to me!
” "Okay, let's go!"
With that, William watched Horn's back and hurried towards the position of the cavalry.
Influenced by the belligerent genes of the previous Prussian kings, the royal governors of the Prussian court were often selected from the commanders of the royal guards or the close generals of His Majesty the King in the army before ascending to the throne.
But in contrast, Horn undoubtedly lacks much in terms of military exploits, and before becoming the head of the royal family, Horn was the deputy head of the royal family and the deputy commander of the royal guard, but despite his military position.
But Horn has never made a contribution on the battlefield, and the reason why he became the head of the royal family is more because Horn has a good family background and Buel's appreciation.
In such a situation, Horn is desperate to prove himself.
You know, although in modern times, the major powers have weakened the authority of the royal family.
But it has to be said that the royal family has played an extremely important role in European history, and it was the French royal family who served as the commander-in-chief of the French army in the Anglo-French Hundred Years' War in Agincourt, and there are countless examples of the royal family deposing the king in history.
Even many times, the head of the royal family is referred to as the "inner minister".
Being in such an important position means that Horn needs to show merit that can convince the public, so in Hornd's view, this mission is a threat.
But for him, if he succeeds, it will be a feat that will silence some of those who have previously criticized him.
Among them was the director of the Brandenburg Palace, a former rival of Hound.
Napoleon's lead greatly boosted the morale of the French army, and 2,000 French cavalry rushed into the wall of Prussian soldiers like tigers descending from the mountains.
Splashing flesh and blood is the main theme of the moment, and these cuirassiers are in a sense worthy of the name of heavy cavalry.
In particular, Napoleon specially created dozens of vests for tonight's camp, plus dozens of pairs of vests that Napoleon had looted everywhere before.

As a result, Napoleon, who served as the arrowhead of the French cavalry, and his guards all turned into steel monsters.
Although after the widespread use of firearms in warfare, the heavy cavalry wearing heavy armor and even the war horse under the crotch declined on the battlefield, it has to be said that at this time in the late eighteenth century, the heavy cavalry was still able to play a considerable role to a certain extent.
If nothing else, just the sight of these heavily armored monsters made the hostile Prussian soldiers feel a little psychologically timid.
"Don't get entangled with the enemy, keep charging!"
After slashing down a Prussian soldier on the side of his horse with a wave of his hand, Napoleon sat on his horse and yelled desperately.
Even on the battlefield where the shouting of killing is shaking at this moment.
Napoleon's voice still spread.
Napoleon then didn't even bother to bother with the flinching Prussian soldiers who stood in front of him, and he kicked the saddle.
The spur stabbed the belly of the war horse under the crotch, and the painful war horse became a little crazy again, and rushed forward desperately.
"Warlords!
The Warlords immediately went up to the top, and all soldiers who dared to flee and break out of formation were executed!
” Seeing that the French cavalry was desperately attacking again, and the Prussian formation on the front line showed signs of shaking, William immediately shouted and ordered the army.
It is very good to be on top of a team of Overseers, who are on the one hand monitoring the movements of their own soldiers, and on the other hand, they are also ready to join the battle.
With the Overseers in place, and then some soldiers who escaped without permission were executed, the Prussian front was once again solidified, and everyone knew that it was better to die at the hands of the enemy than to die under the guns of these Overseers, because those who died under the guns of the Overseers were not eligible for the bereavement benefits and preferential policies issued by the government.
At this moment, the rumbling sound of horses' hooves sounded behind Napoleon's French troops, and when he heard this sound, a hint of joy appeared on William's originally solemn face.
"Hold on, our cavalry is coming, and the enemy's good days are coming to an end!"
The cavalry of the 6th Division of the 2,000 Prussian Army fiercely re-entered the butt of the French cavalry, and suddenly Napoleon's pressure increased greatly, and the situation of flanking on both sides made the French cavalry shake a little.
"Mana, take me three hundred men to block those Prussian cavalry, and the rest continue to follow me!"
After shouting, Napoleon did not wait for Mana to answer, but continued to rush towards the tent of the Chinese army in the Prussian battalion.
Soon the French cavalry led by Napoleon broke through the Prussian defensive array on the periphery of the camp, but at this moment the Prussians had already arranged two more fronts on the road of Napoleon's charge, and behind the two lines was William.
Although the heavily armored Napoleon does not show his face, William still saw that the one who rushed to the front must be Napoleon, and this discovery also made William extremely admired Napoleon, not every commander has the courage and consciousness to rush to the front, of course, rushing to the front does not mean that he is a qualified commander, but in this way he can let his soldiers exert the greatest combat effectiveness, such a commander is undoubtedly excellent.
"Napoleon, my fateful adversary!
It is the misfortune of all the generals of the whole of Europe that you were born in the same era, and it is even more of a great misfortune for the other me to be robbed of the Statue of Victory by you in Berlin!
But now it is not known who killed the deer!
” William's mouth silently muttered, and the other me he was talking about was Frederick William III, who was conquered by Napoleon in history.
After the chanting, William's face returned to a calm expression "Order the Sixth Division to be on standby immediately after the Big Tent!"
As mentioned earlier, the Prussian barracks were arranged in a triangle, and in the upper part of the triangle were the royal guards, and the area where the 6th Division was stationed was at the rear.
"Your Majesty, a large number of infantry has been found behind the enemy cavalry, the enemy strength is about 20,000 or so, and General Hoender is fighting with the main force of the enemy army!"
Just as William was about to throw the 6th Division into battle, a herald came to William's side, and upon hearing this information, William immediately gave up his initial plan.
"Order the 3rd and 4th Infantry Regiments of the Guards Army to immediately go into battle and surround the enemy cavalry regiments for me!
The 6th Division immediately went forward and stood by!
” As soon as William gave the order, he saw that the soldiers who were originally blocking the two lines of defense in front of William immediately moved and began to press towards Napoleon.
"Your Excellency Marshal, the enemy army has already had a complete strategy, and continuing to attack at this time will only put everyone in danger, there are not many of our people left, and the enemy army is endless, please give the marshal an order to break through immediately!"
Just as Napoleon was about to attack the Prussian army that came to besiege him again, he saw one of Napoleon's guards pull Napoleon's horse's head and say to Napoleon.
After listening to the words of this guard, Napoleon was furious: "You dare to mess with my army's heart!
A coward like you is not worthy of being a French hero for me!
” "Marshal, please break through immediately, you are the Messiah of the new century, the enemy army has completely surrounded me, and if you don't leave, you can only waste your strength, please think about France, the day of the comeback is also the time for the enemy army to bow down, now let this coward be your palace!"
