The battle had been going on for more than half an hour, and although Germain's fire horse tactics had changed the situation of the Prussian army, the situation had become somewhat precarious for the Prussian side when all three waves of French troops had been engaged in the battle.
"Order, attack!"
Lucien put down the binoculars in his hand and said to the officers beside him.
After Lucien's order was given, the 1,500 French soldiers who had been silently watching the battle of their comrades immediately moved their steps towards the Prussian camp.
After all, Germain only has nearly 500 troops under his command, and even if there are still a hundred cavalry among them, these cavalry Germain has not been used yet, because Germain is ready to save these cavalry for the most critical time.
But for now, Germain has to change his previous decision.
It has also been said before that the Prussian soldiers had little time to rest during the two days they were marching, and these soldiers were always on guard waiting for the enemy's attack, and now the lack of physical strength and energy for the Prussian army has become a huge shortcoming.
And more than two hours of fighting made these Prussian soldiers reach a limit!
"Let the cavalry rush straight ahead again!
Don't tell me how many casualties there are!
All I need is time, time!
” Germain shouted loudly, and after he finished roaring, I saw that the cavalry that had been gathered before began to urge the war horses under their crotch to rush towards the front where the French army had gathered the most!
These cavalrymen had heard Germain's words before, after all, the camp was so big in total, and the meaning of Germain's words naturally understood.
At this moment, the most important thing for the Prussians is time, not a second more.
Then the Prussians had a glimmer of hope.
When fifteen hundred French soldiers joined the battle, the greatest wave was ushered in over the entire battlefield, and more than 2,000 French soldiers surrounded the Prussian camp, which was not very wide.
In such a small space, in fact, the cavalry could not achieve their maximum combat effectiveness, but now the Prussians had no other way.
Even if he knew that letting the cavalry charge now would be a death, Germain couldn't care so much.
The fierce shouts of killing echoed on the battlefield, and every minute and every second soldiers fell to the ground, for the commander, they only saw the victory and defeat on the battlefield, and for the soldiers, whether it was victory or defeat.
Their lives are not guaranteed at all!
Of the eight hundred soldiers under Valendo's command, there were less than four hundred left, and nearly half of the casualties could be said to be the biggest contributors to the fire horses just now.
Fortunately, with the pressure of the main force of the French army, Wallendo's troops did not collapse, but at this moment, these French soldiers who had been fighting on the front line for a long time were gradually showing a lack of energy like the Prussians.
"Order Valendo's troops to withdraw and regroup!"
Naturally, the changes of these French soldiers did not hide from Germain's eyes, so after discovering that Valendo's troops were not energetic.
Lucien immediately ordered Valendo to retreat with his men.
Compared with Valendo's department, the Prussians who were still fighting were more unbearable than them, and the fence surrounded by carriages had been opened by the French army in many places, but fortunately, Valendo had deliberately arranged these carriages before, so that even if the French army broke through a few gaps, the small space was enough to limit the number of French troops.
However, this can only last for a while.
Nearly a hundred Prussian cavalry rushed towards the French soldiers, even as soon as the two sides came into contact.
Those French soldiers were suddenly a little scattered by these cavalry charges, but there were too many French soldiers, and the layers of soldiers used their lives to resist the attack of these cavalry.
And once the cavalry loses speed, then it is only a little better than the infantry, and sometimes the cavalry that loses speed is not as good as the infantry.
"Quick, cut off the legs of their horses!"
A veteran of the French army suddenly shouted Hearing the words of this veteran, all the French soldiers suddenly understood that they were right, and they stabbed the legs of the horses under the crotch of the Prussian cavalry with their bayonets in their hands.
Although the Prussian cavalry fought valiantly, they were unable to make effective evasive moves at this moment, and one after another the Prussian cavalry were killed by the French soldiers.
This scene made Germain's eyes bloodshot.
His hands were clenched into fists, today's scene was too shocking for Jermain, he never thought that one day, so many people would pay for the casualties of their lives because of his words!
For the Prussians, though.
Neither pity nor shame was needed, especially among the Prussian military.
In just the next second, Germain's heart was filled with vengeful rage.
"Hold on, our reinforcements are coming!"
Germain shouted, pulling out his saber from his waist and rushing to the gap where danger had occurred again.
Nearly an hour had passed, and the guardrails of the camp had lost their protective effect, and under the onslaught of the French soldiers, the carriages had all been pushed into disarray, almost losing their protective effect.
There were less than a hundred soldiers around Germain's side at the moment, and these Prussian soldiers could be said to be all wounded, and Germain's face was even more hideous.
"Everyone.....
Everyone..
Hold on!

I..
Our reinforcements ....
Coming soon!
” Germain's voice has become hoarse, from the beginning of the battle to the present, Germain has not bothered to drink a sip of water, and several hours of fighting has exhausted Germain's physical strength, if it were not for the belief in his heart and the hope of the upcoming reinforcements to support him, I am afraid that Germain would have been unable to support it.
The French soldiers surrounded these Prussian soldiers like wolves, and Lucien also walked to the front of the battle, looking at these Prussian soldiers who refused to retreat and refused to surrender, Germain's heart was also full of admiration.
"Prussians on the other side, surrender!
We, the French army, will not mistreat you!
” At the behest of Lucien.
A French soldier shouted at the last of the nearly 100 Prussian soldiers.
Hearing this, Germain was silent, he didn't know how to answer, it was not easy for these Prussian soldiers to hold on until now.
Even being able to collapse after losing more than eighty percent has not collapsed, I have to say that this is a rare existence in the history of the European continent, no, or perhaps the world.
But apparently these Prussians understood what their mission was, and although some of the Prussian soldiers had a look of interest on their faces after the French shout, they thought of the reinforcements that were about to appear.
They persevered.
Seeing that the persuasion had no effect, there was no expression of regret on Lucien's face, and perhaps for these Prussians, letting them die on the battlefield was actually the best destination.
Thinking of this, Lucien waved his right hand violently, and then at Lucien's signal.
The French offensive began again.
Just as the clarion call of the French attack resounded above the battlefield, a loud sound suddenly sounded from the periphery of the battlefield.
"What a sound!"
Lu Xi's face was a little stunned and looked in the direction of the sound, you must know that he had deployed more than 2,000 soldiers on the periphery of the battlefield before, and the mission of more than 2,000 soldiers was to guard against any changes that might occur in the periphery, and now he suddenly remembered such a huge noise, Lu Xien actually did not receive any report.
Just as Lucien summoned a herald to ask him to go and question Baptiste.
I saw that a fiery snake composed of torches suddenly appeared on the edge of the battlefield.
Seeing this scene, Lucien's face changed greatly.
Gradually, the sound sounded again, and this time Lucien heard it clearly, and it was the rumbling of horses' hooves.
"Quick, assemble them all and form a defensive formation!"
Lucien's face changed drastically and he immediately gave the order, but at this moment, many people were still immersed in the shock of this sudden change, knowing that after Lucien shouted his previous words again, these French soldiers just woke up from a dream and hurriedly seemed to look for their troops to form a defensive formation according to Lucien's order.
Unlike the French army, Germain's face at the moment has changed from stunned to ecstatic.
For Germain, the current turn of events gave him a sense of resurrection.
"Brothers!
Our reinforcements are coming!
” Nearly 100 Prussian troops under Germain's command immediately cheered, and after the Prussian army cheered, Lucien seemed to remember the small Prussian army that had been forced to the edge of the cliff by him.
"Augse.
Hadru, you two don't care about the rest, and continue to lead your men to kill all these Prussians for me!
” After Lucien gritted his teeth, he didn't care whether Odyssey and Hadru heard it or not, but commanded the army to quickly line up in a defensive formation.
"Kill!"
The sound of horses' hooves was deafening, and the ensuing shouts of the Prussian cavalry also panicked the French soldiers who were hurriedly forming a defensive formation.
"Don't panic, don't panic!
All form a defensive formation according to the officer's order, and any running and movement will be dealt with by military law!
” The chaos made Lucien's heart even more uneasy, and while he tried to organize order, he sent people to search for Baptiste's location, and ordered Baptiste to lead an army back to annihilate this Prussian cavalry force.
More than 1,400 Prussian cavalry threw away their torches when they were still nearly 200 meters away from the French army, and the cavalry that suddenly fell into darkness cast a shadow on the hearts of all French soldiers like ghosts.
"Don't panic, get ready in the front row!
Raise your rifle flat, shoot!
” After the Prussian cavalry threw away the torches, Lucien did not panic, but mentally estimated the distance of the cavalry, and when he estimated that the Prussian cavalry was almost within the effective range of the French army, he immediately ordered to open fire.
However, most of the ammunition of the French soldiers had been exhausted in the previous battles, and many of the French soldiers had already had bayonets stuck in the barrels of their guns, and only a few hundred French soldiers were able to reload their ammunition for a while.
The speed of the Prussian cavalry was too fast, so the accuracy of the fire of these hundreds of French soldiers was really unimpressive.
More than 1,000 Prussian cavalry rushed into the ranks of French soldiers like a whirlwind, and these cavalrymen mercilessly harvested the lives of French soldiers with their sabers.

The hastily assembled French soldiers suddenly showed signs of rout under the attack of the Prussian cavalry, but at this time Lucien played the role of the anchor of the sea.
This excellent general of the Bonaparte family had his own personality charm to inspire these French soldiers to fight, and then through a series of transfers, he avoided the edge of these Prussian cavalry to a certain extent.
Although the Prussian cavalry penetrated the line of these French soldiers in a short time, it can be said that the casualties of the French army were greatly reduced to a certain extent because of Lucien's timely command.
"Quick, all of them are set up in the back to guard against another charge of the enemy cavalry!"
Standing in the midst of the army, Lucien's roar echoed among the soldiers.
"Why hasn't Baptiste reacted yet?
Someone, go and give Baptiste an order, and ask him to lead the army to support me immediately!
” Another herald was sent out by Lucien, but looking at the somewhat calm and unwavering darkness in the distance, Lucien's heart was clouded with ominousness.
Lucien has always believed that Baptiste is a somewhat capable person, and this is fully confirmed during the period during which Baptiste followed Lucien.
And there are only two reasons why Baptiste is not moving now, one is that Baptiste did not receive Lucien's orders, and the other reason is that Baptiste is dragged by something and has no time to doppelgänger.
As for whether Baptiste would surrender to the Prussians, Lucien never considered this, because Baptiste's loyalty to the Kingdom of France had long been seen by everyone, otherwise he would not have spent his wealth to support Lucien's French army.
And as Lucien had predicted, Baptiste did not betray France, and the reason why he did not send troops was the second reason that Lucien had already thought of, and that was that Baptiste was dragged.
The Prussian cavalry that had just arrived was not only a cavalry unit, although this cavalry had already been sent by Yarman and was secretly ready to support Germain.
It stands to reason that in more than three hours, it is impossible for anyone other than these cavalrymen to arrive at the battlefield in such a short time, after all, it is impossible for people to rush frantically for dozens of miles in three hours.
But the main reason why other Prussian troops were able to rush to the battlefield besides the cavalry was due to Yarman.
On the way to Ayi, especially as soon as he arrived in Ayi, Yarman immediately ordered the expropriation of all the carriages in the entire city of Ayi, as well as the horses kept in captivity in the homes of all the upper classes.
And the reason why he had to collect so many horses was to increase the speed of his army.
After receiving an urgent call for help from Germain, Yarman ordered a thousand soldiers to urgently step into the wagons that had been recruited.
Although these horses were not systematically trained to be used to pull carts, the fact that they could not go into battle did not mean that they could not carry Prussian soldiers on the run.
After putting together all the horses used in the army's logistics, Yarman obtained more than five hundred horses of all kinds, and these five hundred horses pulled one carriage in units of two horses, and this gave him two hundred and fifty carriages, which were just right to pull one thousand two hundred and fifty Prussian soldiers forward according to the standard of four people and one driver in one carriage.
After sending out these infantry in carriages, Yarman also immediately ordered the rest of his army to immediately set off for the place where the battle was taking place.
This huge number of carriages carried more than a thousand Prussian soldiers to the battlefield, and although some Prussian soldiers felt uncomfortable in the carriages because of the bumpy carriage, they could only endure it now, because they knew that if they delayed for a second, dozens of their compatriots would lose their lives.
