Battlefield of All Sides

Chapter 326 Capture Blücher Alive
The cavalry's charge spread rapidly on this land, the galloping horseshoes slammed on the muddy road, and the rumbling sound spread throughout the battlefield.

Those Prussian troops who were resisting immediately saw an astonishing number of cavalry rushing towards them behind the French infantry.

The Prussian officers hurriedly ordered their soldiers to prepare, but the next moment they discovered that the cavalry's attacking pace was very strange.

Instead of harassing from both sides, facing the huge battle formation, these cavalry no longer waited, but rushed directly from the middle, brandishing their sabers.

"Defend! Defend! Shoot the cavalry!"

The Prussian officer shouted loudly, but the smoke and noise on the battlefield had already drowned out all the orders. The Prussian soldiers moved their guns to the cavalry belatedly, and the cavalry's saber was already in front of them.

Li Mu rushed to the front, the horses headed towards the middle of the phalanx, the saber in his hand swung down, and a path was trampled out.

The impact of the French cavalry was very brutal, ignoring the Prussian spears and bayonets, and rushed into the phalanx ferociously.

"Don't stop, rush out, go around and go back!"

Li Mu rushed to the front, and at the same time roared loudly to make the cavalry leave the phalanx quickly, ensuring that the entire team would not be dragged down.

The phalanx of the French infantry was still firing, and they were still aiming at the organized Prussian phalanx, and the soldiers who fled separately let them escape from both sides.

The several Prussian phalanxes that were pushed away by Li Mu also began to show signs of collapse.

They encountered a huge attack by the French army in Rini. The sudden attack caused the Prussian army to lose its effective command. As a result, they managed to organize a team here, but they did not expect to encounter this French army.

The attack of this French army was as fierce as the previous ones. Infantry and cavalry attacked one after another. Prussia's effective counterattack was quickly dispersed.

Especially when some people found that there were holes on both sides to escape, these organized soldiers suddenly found hope.

Li Mu's differentiation method has already had an effect under the fierce attack.

After the French cavalry charged on both sides, the Prussian army began to disperse.

The French infantry regiment began to adjust and flexibly designed large-scale gathering places, and the attack firepower has been much weaker.

Li Mu stopped in front of the infantry regiment with the regrouped cavalry. At this moment, facing thousands of retreating soldiers, Li Mu was trying to find his target among them.

According to the reports of the jumpers and cavalry, no trace of Prussian Blücher was found.

The purpose of Li Mu's blocking this time is to completely defeat the rout soldiers, and to find Blücher and destroy the command center of the Prussian army.

"Marshal, what do we need to do?"

At this time, Luo Bao came to Li Mu's side panting, and looked at Li Mu excitedly.

His performance this time should be pretty good, the infantry regiment's attack was orderly, and Li Mu should not blame himself anymore.

"Let the infantry regiment set out towards the dense forest, disarm all the Prussian soldiers who can see them, and let them go empty-handed."

When Li Mu said this, he remembered something and said to Luo Bao.

"Leave me an infantry phalanx, which needs to be composed of soldiers with the best physical strength."

Luo Bao immediately agreed when he heard this, but he didn't understand what Li Mu was thinking.

At this time, two jumping soldiers brought a Prussian officer to Li Mu. Li Mu asked him with a saber in his hand.

"Where is your Marshal Blücher now?"

The officer with the golden beard kept struggling, looking at Li Mu with an angry look on his face, as if he would rather die than surrender.

Li Mu had already anticipated this situation, and immediately asked a few soldiers to walk over a few Prussian soldiers.

Before they could speak, Li Mu waved to a leaping soldier next to him, and the leaping soldier immediately struck a knife in the thigh of a Prussian soldier.

The soldier fell to the ground screaming, and the surrounding Prussian prisoners looked over quickly. Li Mu pointed at the officer again and said.

"Tell me, you can go now."

Li Mu's tone was very flat, but his actions were unambiguous. The soldier's screams stimulated several people, but the Prussian officer still didn't seem to let go.

Li Mu sneered, and a group of infantry came over. The prisoners just now were pushed to the ground beside them.

The soldiers pretended to line up to be shot, but the Prussian soldiers immediately refused and shouted at the officer, and Li Mu recruited a French cavalry who could understand.

"Marshal, they say they saw Blücher fleeing to the right."

"The specific location, appearance, and number of people?" Li Mu asked, the cavalryman asked, and the soldiers talked in a panic, but all turned their eyes to the Prussian officer next to him.

Li Mu understood, and waved his hands to let the soldiers prepare to shoot. Only then did the Prussian officer speak.

"Marshal, he said that Blücher broke out from the right with a small number of cavalry. They are all wearing gold and blue uniforms and should be easily identifiable."

After Li Mu listened to it, he showed a satisfied expression and ordered the Prussians to be released.

At the same time, the cavalry began to act one after another, and went to look for Blücher according to the location said by the Prussian officer.

Luo Bao, who stood aside and watched all this, really saw the ruthlessness of his officer at this moment. It seemed that he was really wrong before. This kind officer is actually a battlefield killer!
At this time, Li Mu's eyes happened to be on Luo Bao's face.The eyes of the two met, Luo Bao was about to run away, but Li Mu stopped him.

"General Luobao, remember the mission, focus on striking the vital forces."

After saying this, Li Mu suddenly retracted his long sword from its scabbard, and the fierce momentum overwhelmed the opponent.

Li Mu, who has just experienced a big battle, feels extremely oppressive.

The blocking battlefield was quickly converted into a chasing battlefield, and the infantry regiment began to defeat the remaining Prussian soldiers again, and at the same time concentrated attacks on artillery, cavalry, and officers, disrupting the basic structure and force of the Prussians.

Li Mu led the cavalry and a group of vigorous infantry to pursue Blücher's troops. Although they were only a small number of cavalry fleeing, they still encountered many broken Prussian soldiers along the way. As the leader, Blücher naturally chose to gather Crushed soldiers.

So shortly after the start of the blocking battle, Blücher had actually gathered nearly 2000 rout troops, and the equipment in the team was relatively complete.

But these soldiers also slowed down Blücher.

So in the evening, Li Mu's troops met the opponent. The number of cavalry who arrived first was less than 1000, but it was enough to make these Prussian soldiers panic.

Under Blücher's organization, these soldiers barely started to attack, but the French infantry regiment that followed completely broke their self-confidence.

In the dark night, Li Mu didn't know how long the troops had been fighting, because the night had to stop.

Beside the bonfire, Li Mu was eating something he had just cooked, when a sound of horseshoes came suddenly.

"Marshal, we have captured Blücher!"

A soldier ran up to Li Mu with a face full of excitement, and Li Mu who was sitting on the fallen tree stood up quickly.

"where?"

"Right in the back, he was injured and we caught him in a farmhouse!"
