The arrival of these infantry in carriages was not slow, only more than half an hour later than those cavalry, but fortunately, during this half hour, these cavalry did not attack the French, but used the time to restore the strength of the horses in order to better exert their combat effectiveness.
After the two armies had met, the commander of the infantry and cavalry had a few minutes of deliberation, during which the commander of the cavalry, who had arrived first, informed the infantry commander of their discovery of Baptiste's troops on the battlefield.
In the end, the two decided on a battle plan.
According to the battle plan decided by the two, the cavalry commander would lead his cavalry to bypass Baptiste's headquarters to directly support Germain on the battlefield, while Baptiste's part of the French army was handed over to the Prussian infantry brothers.
After discussing the battle plan, the two men went their separate ways, and at this time, Baptiste stood boringly under a large tree.
For Baptiste, he did not think that Germain's baggage team was the bait of the Prussians, so in this case, Baptiste, who felt that his task was not heavy or even had no task, was completely lax.
Although Baptiste also arranged a lot of sentinels on the periphery of the battlefield, the battlefield was so large, and the scope he could take care of was limited after all.
And just as the Prussian cavalry bypassed Baptiste's headquarters and attacked Lucien's headquarters in the middle of the battlefield, the Prussian infantry also suddenly appeared on the flank of more than 2,000 French troops led by Baptiste and launched an attack on Baptiste's headquarters.
The sudden attack directly hit Baptiste by surprise.
Although Baptiste later received orders from Lucien, Baptiste was unable to send troops to support Lucien at the moment.
In terms of strength, Bapiste had less than 1,000 more Prussian infantry than the attacking infantry, and in the case of the Prussians' calculating and unintentional calculations, and the French army's combat effectiveness was generally inferior to that of the Prussians, the two sides were evenly matched for a while.
If at this time.
If Baptiste had drawn troops according to Lucien's orders, Baptiste was very worried that the Prussians would take advantage of this opportunity to break the French army under his command, and if this fear became a reality, the whole battlefield would not be in favor of the French, even if the crisis was relieved by Lucien.
It is not impossible to even be surrounded and annihilated by the Prussians.
The Prussian cavalry once again launched an assault on Lucien's French army, and the sound of horses' hooves hitting the ground also hit the hearts of these French soldiers.
Lucien's face was already showing a trace of sadness, and at this moment, a herald stumbled up to Lucien and shouted: "Your Excellency General, Your Excellency Baptiste has been dragged by the sudden appearance of the enemy, and there is no way to withdraw troops at the moment!"
The news made Lucien feel as if it had suddenly become dark in front of his eyes.
Lucien's body almost swayed and fell to the ground.
Fortunately, Lucien was a very strong-willed general, so after only two shakes in his body, Lucien regained his footing.
Now Lucien understands that the current situation is definitely a trap, before he thought that the Prussian baggage team led by Germain was his prey, but now the cruel truth tells Lucien.
He was the prey of the Prussians!
Lucien wanted to withdraw his troops, but now it is not something that the French can leave if they want to, don't forget that there are more than 1,000 Prussian cavalry in front of them, as long as the French army dares to retreat, then this more than 1,000 Prussian cavalry will make the French pay an unbearable price like a pack of wolves!
However, for the present Lucien, he could not take care of so much, and he had to get out of the battlefield as soon as possible before the large Prussian army arrived.
Otherwise, I'm afraid he won't be able to leave.
In this contemplation, it is not unacceptable for Lucien to pay some price.
"Order Odyssey and Hadru to immediately lead their troops out of the battle with the enemy, let them march north immediately, order the troops to narrow the battle line and get out of the way between the enemy's two lines, while everyone keeps a tight formation and slowly retreats!"
There were less than thirty men left on Germain's side, and God forbid, if the enemy attacked for another ten minutes, then Germain, along with the remaining thirty Prussian soldiers, would be killed on the battlefield.
But Germain was undoubtedly lucky.
Because he was blessed by God at the most critical time, just when Germain thought that he was certain to die, he saw the French, who had just been eager to die with him, retreat.
It seemed that he couldn't believe his eyes, and Germain rubbed his eyes very much and looked again, sure enough.
He read that right, these damned Frenchmen really retreated!
"Hooray!
Banzai!
Banzai!
” Germaine didn't care about his image anymore, only to see him open his arms and let out three shouts towards the sky.
And while Germain was shouting, the dozens of soldiers left under his command were also crying with joy, it was a miracle for them to survive!
The Prussian cavalry also noticed this, so they did not rush to launch another attack on the French army led by Lucien, but moved closer to Germain's position.
This situation of the Prussian cavalry also made Lucien's heart a little lighter, but then Lucien's heart tightened, because he found that these cavalry did not let go of the French, taking advantage of the French being in the light and in the dark, those Prussian cavalry divided many people to shoot at the French soldiers in secret.
Lucien was on the verge of a thunderstorm, and he scolded the Prussian commander for not having any chivalry at all.
But on the battlefield, who can blame whom?
After all, if you really rely on chivalry to fight, then there is undoubtedly only a dead end!
Under the command of Lucien, on one side of the French ** team, some people were shot and fell to the ground, and most of the French soldiers on the other side still maintained a vigilant posture and slowly retreated, and for those who fell to the ground, these French soldiers could not care so much.
The battle had now been five hours, and both sides could be said to be exhausted, except for Prussian reinforcements.
And the current situation is clearly unfavorable for the French.
Fortunately, Lucien had not yet found any traces of the main force of the Prussian army, which gave him a little confidence.

But this confidence did not last long, and after only twenty minutes, Lucien's face already showed a look of despair, and a large number of torches appeared in the visible place where he could see the naked eye.
And the military flag revealed in the light of the torches was the Prussian military flag!
And the Prussian army that suddenly appeared was none other than 2,000 Prussian soldiers led by Yarman himself.
After sending out the troops carried by the wagons, Yarman also immediately led the army to set off, but unlike the first wave of troops, Yarman ordered everyone not to carry anything except weapons and necessary ammunition in order to get to the battlefield as soon as possible.
Even because Yarman was worried that the hot weather would easily cause soldiers to run for a long time, and they would be easily tired and suffer from heat stroke.
It was specially ordered that the soldiers could go to the battlefield shirtless wearing only a pair of shorts!
It was under these circumstances that the Prussian army led by Yarman rushed to the battlefield in five hours and ran more than 110 kilometers.
But it was precisely because of this desperate march that the Prussian army went from more than 2,700 people who left Ay to 2,000 now, and more than 700 people were left behind in the process.
After arriving at the battlefield, it took Yarman more than half an hour to reorganize the formation and then launched an attack on Baptiste's headquarters, which was blocking the Prussian army on the periphery.
Originally, Baptiste used all his strength in the face of the attacking Prussian army of more than 1,000.
When Yarman's army joined, Baptiste's forces were indisputably defeated.
Although the soldiers under the command of Yarman did not have much physical strength left after running for a long time, after all, the Prussian forces were placed here, and the shouts of killing from everyone alone made the French soldiers who had been fighting for more than an hour frightened.
After defeating Baptiste, Yarman did not bother with the rout, but immediately commanded his army to press the French army led by Lucien.
When the Prussian army led by Yarman appeared, Lucien knew that he had been defeated, and more than a month of hard work and fighting was in vain.
But Lucien didn't give up hope.
He decided that he must keep a little spark of the French ** team, so he immediately decided to let Valendo and Ogsey lead nearly a thousand French troops to flee the battlefield immediately, and he would personally lead the rest of the French army!
..........................
The heaviest battle in the western part of the Ay-Ay region ended in defeat for the French, while Lucien, having lost an arm in the Netherlands, fought until the last moment until he was shot on the battlefield by the Prussians.
The battle cost the French a great amount, after the battle only more than 400 people led by Wallendo and Ogsei, only the 5,200 French soldiers escaped, and the rest of the French army was either killed or captured by the Prussians.
On the other hand, the Prussian side also paid a huge price, with only 29 of the nearly 500 Prussian troops led by Germain remaining after the war, and the Prussian reinforcements also paid nearly 3,000 casualties, of which more than 700 were killed in battle alone.
That is, in this battle, the Prussian army paid the price of more than 1,200 killed.
If we add those who were ineffective from their wounds, the Prussian army lost nearly 1,500 men in this battle.
But for Alman, it was worth it as long as he could defeat and annihilate the French army led by Lucien.
"Germain, you are good, you are our Prussian hero after this battle.
I will ask for credit from the Coalition Headquarters and the Ministry of Affairs!
” While speaking, looking at Germain's crumbling body, Yarman's heart was very moved, you must know that if it wasn't for Germain, then Yarman might not have a clue until now, let alone annihilate this French army.
And now the French army under Lucien has been annihilated, which on the one hand relieves the crisis of the coalition forces in the rear.
On the other hand, for Yarman, it is equivalent to preserving his military career, which makes Yarman even a little grateful to Jermain.
After saying that, without waiting for Germain's reply, Yarman ordered Germain to be taken to the makeshift tent to rest for a while, and at the same time, Yarman did not forget the twenty-eight Prussian soldiers who held out to the end.
Later that day, the two cavalry teams were sent by Yarman to gallop to Ayi and Bowei to victory!
It is not an exaggeration to say that this battle, which took place on the night of August 28, shook the whole of France, because the harassment of the Allied army led by Lucien in the rear of the Allied forces had made it impossible for the Allied forces to effectively organize a new offensive.
But now, Lucien's troops have fallen, and although there are still nearly 300 people led by Valendo and Ogsei, who escaped from Shengtian, but in the eyes of everyone, this small army that has been crippled has no chance of making a comeback, and has lost all its baggage and even few weapons, how much more storm can this small army make?
By the time the Coalition Commander, Prince Ferdinand the Younger, received the battle report from Yarman, it was already the evening of August 30.
When Ferdinand the Younger learned that Lucien's headquarters had been annihilated, Ferdinand the Younger said three good things in a row.
Worry-free in the rear means that the coalition forces can once again organize a new offensive, and lose the power involved, and it is foreseeable that this time Paris will no longer be a dream for the coalition forces!
And Napoleon was not able to perform a miracle in Compiègne, although he used a paltry 2,000 troops to resist the attack of more than 10,000 coalition troops for more than a week, but in the end Napoleon still failed, and he was not powerless in the end.
Unfortunately, the coalition forces were still unable to capture Napoleon after the war.
After defeating Napoleon, the coalition forces captured Compiègne.
The capture of Compiègne meant that there was no longer any force south of Paris that could stop the coalition forces.
Of course, the Bourbon royal family was not idle during this time, and 20,000 troops were rushing to Paris from the western region.
Originally, these troops were specially left by Louis XVI to prepare for the resurgence of the Bourbons, but because the coalition army was harassed by Lucien in the rear, he could not use all his strength to let Louis XVI see the hope of holding Paris, so he mobilized this army to Paris.
Some people may say that Louis XVI was too naïve, after all, once they lost Paris, with only an army of more than 20,000 men, how could they resist the next advance of the coalition army.
