Twenty seconds passed, and some of the young recruits had just put their bayonets on the chambers of their guns, and when they looked up, they saw that the French soldiers had rushed in front of them.
"Quick, stay in formation, God forbid!
Hold your breath!
” A British officer is constantly giving orders to the soldiers around him, and at the same time he is cheering himself up.
The reason why the total annihilation of the British Expeditionary Force would have such a great impact on Britain was not only that the Expeditionary Force was the largest British army organized so far, but also because this Expeditionary Force gathered almost all of Britain's elite soldiers, and in order to assemble this Expeditionary Force, the British government drew officers and troops from colonies all over the world who had rich experience in warfare.
With the total annihilation of the British Expeditionary Force, although the British were able to continue to recruit soldiers, due to the problem of time, the newly recruited soldiers and those troops who were drawn from all over the country again could not be compared with the quality of the soldiers of the previous expeditionary force, and both the fighting will and combat skills were much worse.
Of course, Hanover's army was excluded, but unfortunately it was the British army that protected Ernst's perimeter, and the Hannover army had already been sent to the front line to resist the French attack after Ernst learned of the French attack.
The 500 British troops were caught off guard and soon opened a gap by the French army, and in individual combat, these French troops under Napoleon were absolutely the best in Europe, even William's royal guards were not much different from Napoleon's French army in individual combat.
With more than 400 French soldiers under the attack of their lives, the British army defending Ernst was soon in danger.
If it weren't for Ernst's decision to lead his own guards to fill in the gaps, I am afraid that the British army at this moment would have been routed by the French army.
"If it goes on like this, it won't work.
Everyone else is rushing with me!
” Lucien looked at the hundreds of soldiers in front of him who couldn't open the situation, he was obviously anxious, you must know that there were a large number of British troops in front and behind Ernst, once the British troops in front and behind reacted, then aside from the danger of the French army under Lucien, just letting this excellent opportunity slip away from Lucien's eyes was enough to make him regret it.
Under Lucien's order, the five hundred French soldiers who had maintained the suppression of the British fire could not care so much.
After attaching a bayonet to the chamber of his gun, he followed Lucien and rushed to protect Ernst's British troops.
The British army around Ernst was already in danger, but with the addition of 500 French troops led by Lucien, the situation became even more unfavorable for Ernst and the British army around him.
However, it was only after Lucien himself led the soldiers to attack.
The British army in the front was blocked for a while because of the resistance of Lucien's previous division of troops, but the British army in the rear caught up.
Two squadrons of British cavalry were the first to appear in the rear of the French army, and the two squadrons of British cavalry numbered less than two hundred.
But for the current situation.
The 200 cavalry became a force capable of swaying the victory of the war.
"Quick, continue the onslaught, and whoever kills the commander of the British army will be promoted to nobility immediately!"
The appearance of the British cavalry naturally did not escape Lucien's eyes, and after discovering the British cavalry, Lucien's expression also changed, after all, once a large-scale British army arrived, then the situation was in danger of immediately collapsing.
As he opened his mouth to make a promise to his soldiers, Lucien pushed away the two French troops who stood in his way.
Rushed directly towards the most central area of the British army.
Facing the few British soldiers standing in front of him, Lucien had a contemptuous smile on his face.
You must know that since he joined the army, there are not many people who can defeat him in heads-up, which also makes Lucien quite confident in his combat effectiveness.
After turning around and dodging the stab at him, Lucien spread his arm like a butterfly, and the saber in his hand struck a British soldier who was eyeing him at his side.
Murderous The scene is cruel, but Lucien's every move as he walks through it seems to be full of beauty.
In less than three minutes, Lucien's sword had already claimed the lives of four British soldiers, and Lucien's performance served as a very good example.
Of course, although he has been fighting with the French soldiers, Ernst's attention has never left this entire local battlefield, and Lucien's superior performance naturally attracted Ernst's attention, when Ernst found that among the French soldiers in front of him, it seemed that Lucien's status was the highest, Ernst gritted his teeth and rushed to Lucien with a few of his own personal guards.
Seeing that Ernst was actually rushing towards him, Lucien was overjoyed, and it took no effort to find nowhere to get through the iron shoes, which is the truest portrayal of Lucien's thoughts.
"Quick, follow me, kill that Englishman!"
Lucien beckoned a few French soldiers behind him, and rushed towards Ernst with a wave of his blood-dripping saber.
Narrow road encounters are always the victory of the brave!
And Lucien and Ernst are worthy of the name of the brave, who can fight to the death in adversity and even turn the tide, and they deserve to be called brave!
The two of them are like enemies who are very red when they see each other, and both of them know in their hearts that they can't lose, although it seems that it is only a battle between the two at the moment, but from the perspective of the butterfly effect, the victory or defeat between the two will play a great role in the entire battlefield.
Among the princes of the British royal family, Ernst is an alternative, unlike his other brothers, Ernst has been a bit aggressive since he was a child, and when he grew up, he not only did not restrain but even went further, otherwise Ernst would not have ambushed Karl in full view of Brandenburg Street.
But Ernst's life circumstances did not make him a major scandal in the British royal family as in his original history, and since he led the Hanover army into the war, his performance is obvious to all, although sometimes he still can't get rid of his habit of fighting bravely, but in the army.
Courage and ruthlessness are actually a rare virtue.
It can be said that the most shining among the young people of the same era are undoubtedly Wilhelm and Napoleon, as for the Russian Emperor Alexander and the new Austrian Grand Duke Alexander are undoubtedly inferior, and then Karl, Ernst and others are even more behind.
But that doesn't deny that they are the best of the continent's younger generation.
When Ernst came to Lucien, Lucien immediately felt a trace of pressure, the Ernst in front of him and the ordinary British soldiers he had faced before felt completely different in his heart, and the Ernst in front of him gave Lucien a rare sense of danger.
The two men did not speak, but looked at each other a few times, and then Ernst took the lead, and the precious and precious command knife stabbed at Lucien.
Ernst's command knife was ornate, but it was not to be underestimated.

This command knife was unearthed by Ernst from the treasury of the Grand Duke of Bavaria after following Daphilia to Munich.
For Ernst's tricks, Lucien was naturally full of vigilance, although one move was no longer beautiful.
But in terms of lethality, it is even better.
After withstanding several attacks by Ernst, a sense of crisis suddenly rose in Lucien's heart, and he saw that the nearly 200 British cavalry that had appeared on the edge of the battlefield had almost hit the backs of the French soldiers, which made Lucien grit his teeth and decide that the battle between him and Ernst must be ended as soon as possible.
But in terms of combat effectiveness.
Ernst was no worse than Lucien.
So Lucien decided to take the plunge.
At this moment, Ernst swung his saber and slashed at Lucien's left arm, and Lucien had no intention of resisting this blow, but almost at the same time he also stabbed the saber in his hand.
Although it was only between lightning and flint, the gesture shown by Lucien still shocked Ernst, knowing that according to Lucien's style of play, the end was only a lose-lose.
Ernst wanted to withdraw his attack so that he could resist Lucien's deadly attack, but when he inadvertently saw the hint of mockery in Lucien's eyes, Ernst, who felt that he was being underestimated, naturally became furious.
It has been said before.
Because of his incompatible behavior with his brothers since childhood, Ernst has developed a brave and ruthless character.
And Ernst's character is not only brave and ruthless, but also a little extreme.
If it weren't for the personality problem, Ernst wouldn't have done the outrageous things that made the whole of England feel so bad about him when he was young.
And the rebellious psychology of the teenager made Ernst have a kind of violence while bearing the uproar of the whole country.
The mockery in Lucien's eyes at this moment seemed to Ernst as much as the contempt he had received when he was a child, and how could Ernst's somewhat violent character not be angry!
"I want you dead!"
With a loud roar, Ernst added a lot more strength to his saber, and it was seen that Ernst's actions were all about cutting off Lucien's waist.
But in the face of Ernst's fierceness, Lucien remained unfazed, his face still maintaining that mocking expression, and the saber he stabbed into Ernst's chest did not slow down.
Soon, Ernst's saber struck Lucien in the left arm, and at the same time, Lucien stabbed Ernst in the chest.
Ernst directly cut off Lucien's left arm with a knife, and after cutting off Lucien's left arm, Ernst's saber castrated and directly cut Lucien's waist, fortunately, with the cushion of his left arm, Lucien escaped the fate of being cut in half by the waist, but Ernst's saber still left a wound about five centimeters deep on Lucien's waist.
Lucien's saber was all sunk into Ernst's chest.
This scene made the British and French soldiers die one after another, and Ernst's status naturally goes without saying, and Lucien also has an extraordinary status in the French army because of Napoleon's value and favor.
Ernst and Lucien fell one after another, but the soldiers on both sides did not care about anything else at the moment, and grabbed the body of their commander and quickly broke away.
At this time, two hundred British cavalry defeated the French army in the later position and continued to rush towards Lucien, but at this moment, Napoleon's banner appeared on the hill where Lucien had been ambushed on one side of the battlefield.
At this time, Napoleon did not know that his younger brother was seriously injured and unconscious, Napoleon saw that the battlefield in front of him had been caused a great mess by Lucien's people, and it was a good opportunity to attack!
"Blow the trumpet, attack!"
Napoleon's 8,000 men were involved in the attack, while the remaining 4,000 French troops were supported by Napoleon.
Ernst's unconscious personnel and the sudden appearance of the main force of the French army directly caused the situation on the battlefield to fall to the side of the French army, and Ernst's personal guards did not care about anything else after grabbing Ernst and immediately left the battlefield with Ernst.
The boss's coma, the escape of the coach's personal guards and the fierce attack of the French army made the British army in front and behind unable to resist the attack of the French, and the British ** team finally retreated before the arrival of reinforcements.
The loss of the supreme command and the inability to take care of the end of the line caused the British army to suffer a painful defeat, and the casualties of 10,000 British soldiers made William, who came in a hurry to learn the news, feel a toothache.
You must know that the total strength of the British side participating in the coalition this time is only 40,000, of which 20,000 are Hanoverian troops and 20,000 are troops sent by the British mainland.
Before that, a series of battles had caused the British army to suffer casualties as high as 5,000, and now with the casualties of nearly 10,000 British troops, it means that 40,000 British troops have lost nearly 40% of the battle.
And what made William's toothache even more was Ernst's serious injury, you must know that Ernst was the commander of the British army in the coalition, and because of the friendship that Ernst had formed with the Prussian army, the British ** team under William could be said to be quite obedient and good.
But now that Ernst is seriously wounded, if the British ** team sends another commander, or if Ernst dies, the British royal family is full of grief, who knows what the British will think of William.
The wound on Ernst's chest was shocking, and Lucien's saber had all sunk into Ernst's body, and the tip of the knife was exposed behind Ernst.
Fortunately, Ernst's snort was still breathing, otherwise, I am afraid that William would immediately have to explain how to explain to the old English king George III.
After instructing the army doctors to do their best to heal Ernst, William's teeth itched.
Napoleon actually led 20,000 remnants of the army to highlight the layers of encirclement of more than 100,000 coalition troops, which was a great shame for William!
"Napoleon, I swear to kill him!"
