Although the French commander desperately mobilized all the soldiers he could to mobilize to form a defensive line on the periphery of the camp, due to the sudden appearance and rapid attack of the coalition forces, the camp gate had been breached by the coalition forces before the French defensive line could be organized.
"The enemy army has promised that it has been broken, and orders all units to immediately increase the intensity of the attack, regardless of their own casualties, and must annihilate the soldiers in the enemy's camp in the shortest possible time, and at the same time immediately send an order to General Yarman, telling him that if everything goes well, then I will send troops to support him within two hours!"
Seeing that the tide of battle was tilting in his favor, Rumorin breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and then gave an order to the herald beside him.
The more than 10,000 French troops in Trapp have always been a formidable enemy, and although the strength of the 14th Division led by Yarman is only a little less than that of Trapp's French army, he is still very uneasy for Rumorin.
And when the French camp outside the city was attacked, Yarman also led the army to lurk in Trapp City, where the French army had to go outside the city and lurked.
Upon seeing the fire in the direction of the French camp, Yarman immediately ordered the Prussian soldiers lurking on both sides of the road to remain vigilant and wait for the order to attack.
The reason why he lurked on both sides of this road instead of attacking Trapp was precisely because Yarman didn't just want to keep Trappu's army in the city, what Yarman needed was a victory, a victory to improve his record!
Although the extermination of the French army led by Lucien allowed Yarman to retain his position as division commander, Yarman knew that because of his poor performance in the Battle of Austria and the Netherlands, the Prussian upper echelons were not satisfied with him, especially His Majesty the King of Prussia.
The merit of exterminating Lucien's ministry is not small, but it is not great, in this case, as an aspiring Yarman who wanted to continue his career in the Prussian military circles.
He needs a chance to prove himself.
On both sides of this not very wide road, nine thousand Prussian troops were scattered among the grass. .........................................
As the coalition army launched an attack on the French military camp, the loud sound of the ground shaking and shaking the mountains also instantly shocked the entire Trapp, and countless people who had just fallen asleep were instantly awakened, including the commander of the French army, Prince Condé.
"Where the sound comes from!
Investigate now!
” After the Prince of Condé was awakened from his bed, he immediately rushed out of the door, and yelled at the attendant who looked a little flustered outside the door, but at this time the Prince Condé had no trace of the old man on his body.
The attendants, who had not waited for the order of the Prince of Condé, ran to investigate.
Only more loudly were heard outside the city of Trapp, and upon hearing this, Prince Condé immediately understood that such a continuous roar could only have been possible with the firing of formed artillery.
And in terms of the current time and place, only the enemy would have made such a big move outside of Trapp, think of this.
A cold sweat was already breaking out on Prince Condé's forehead, as the loud noise came from the direction of the French camp outside the city.
After hastily dressing himself, the Prince of Condé could not care about anything else, and he immediately ordered all the French soldiers in Trapp to assemble at once.
Standing on the streets of Trapp, the Prince of Condé at this moment only hoped that the commander of the French camp outside the city would detect the enemy attack in time and be able to hold the camp.
Of course, if there was no help, even if the French commander could hold the camp, he would certainly not be able to hold the camp for long.
Therefore, the Prince of Condé ordered the army to assemble in preparation to support the French army in the large camp outside the city.
"Quick, send out all the scout cavalry, let them immediately go to the camp outside the city to check the situation, and immediately let the soldiers prepare in the shortest possible time, we have a tough battle to come!"
Condé yelled at the French officers at the headquarters around him. ...................................
In Yarman's telescope, dozens of French scout cavalry galloped in the direction of the French camp, and in the request of his subordinates, Yarman shook his head and vetoed their request to eliminate these French scout cavalry.
"If we attack those French cavalry now.
Then the enemy will definitely send more scouts, and if the enemy sends scouts again, he will definitely be more vigilant, and at that time, maybe we will be discovered, so the army will be ordered to let all these enemy scouts go, and order everyone to remain silent!
” Watching the dozens of French scouts only roughly check the situation on both sides of the road and then continue to run towards the French camp, Yarman was also slightly relieved.
The Prussian soldiers in ambush on both sides of the road were about two kilometers away from the road.
Maybe in normal times, although those French cavalry would not reconnoiter too far, the two-kilometer range must be carefully scouted, but now the time is urgent.
These French scouts didn't have that much time to scrutinize.
After a cursory inspection, the French scouts galloped towards the French camp not far away.
Prince Condé sat in a house near the gates of Trapp, his face a little gloomy at the moment, but more worried.
"Send someone to report to Paris immediately where we are and what we are doing, and if possible, ask Paris to send reinforcements to help immediately!"
"No!
......
However, Your Royal Highness, looking at the enemy's offensive, it is clear that the enemy has sent a lot of troops, and in this case, if the reinforcements sent by Paris are missing, it is obviously useless, do you think there are some requirements in terms of the number of reinforcements?
” A staff officer said cautiously to Prince Condé.
Prince Condé waved his hand expressionlessly, and then said: "Now the Lord Napoleon is stationed in Paris, although I don't like this man, but I admire his ability very much, we just need to tell him what is going on here, then he should know what to do, as for the number of reinforcements is not what we need to worry about, there is only one thing we need to worry about, and that is victory in the battle!"
After saying that, the Prince of Condé sent the people out.
At half past four in the morning, more than a dozen French scouts hurried back to Trapp, compared with the number of previous sorties, the number of these scouts was instantly reduced by seventy, but now the Prince of Condé did not care about the casualties of these scouts.
"How about it, do you find out the situation of the enemy, how many enemies are there?
Will our camp be able to hold on?
” Prince Condé immediately summoned a scout captain to lead the team and then asked him quickly, and when he heard Condé's question, the scout captain also didn't care about his physical exhaustion at all, and immediately said in a somewhat hoarse tone: "Your Royal Highness, the enemy has a lot of troops, according to our reconnaissance, the enemy's troops besieging our camp are at least more than 20,000 people, and because of the enemy's obstruction, we have not been able to get close to the camp, but according to the confession of one of the "tongues" we caught, the enemy has broken through the gate of our army's camp not long after the attack, and now the war has spread to the inside of the camp!

” Hearing the scout captain's answer, Condé instantly became a little anxious.
The gate of the battalion has been breached, so in this way, the French army, which is already inferior in strength, can only passively resist stubbornly?
And in this way, under the superiority of the enemy's forces, how long can they resist stubbornly.
Then, as if he had remembered something, the Prince of Condé immediately asked: "Did you reconnoiter on the way to the camp, and did you have any enemy troops blocking you on the way?"
"We reconnoitred on both sides of the road and found no sign of the enemy, but we were blocked on the way to the camp, but we avoided the road and approached the camp from the field!"
The reason why Prince Condé asked such a question was because according to the scouts' reconnaissance, the area around Trapp was safe, but now it is obvious that the enemy's surprise attack completely overturned the results of the previous scouts' reconnaissance.
Although there was nothing wrong with these scouts, after all, no army would put scouts ten miles away from the limitations of existing technology, but Prince Condé still had some resentment in his heart.
Hearing the scout's answer, Prince Condé ordered: "Open the city gate immediately, the army immediately sent out reinforcements to the large camp outside the city, three thousand cavalry supported first, and the large army followed, as for Trapp, leave two thousand soldiers to cooperate with the local militia to defend!"
After the Prince of Condé had set up, the French army, which had already gathered, rushed out towards the gates of Trapp and ran in the direction of the French camp outside the city.
And the 3,000 French cavalry who acted as the vanguard were even more aggressive, instigating their horses to rush towards the French camp.
The sound of the galloping of the three thousand cavalry can be said to be resounding throughout the world, and the enemy in Trapp City has just left the city, and Yarman, who is in ambush not far from Trapp City, also immediately got the news.
"Is the road blocked over there?"
"Your Excellency General, the road ahead has been dug up, and our soldiers are all in ambush, as long as the enemy comes, then there is definitely no reason to let go!"
Hearing the staff officer's answer, Yarman nodded in satisfaction.
The road from Trapin to the French camp outside the city was not plain on either side, but at the middle of the road there was a small river, which was crossed over it.
The creek is not very deep, but for Yarman, a small river is enough.
