The Second Reich: Beginning with the Prince of Prussia

"Oh no, General, our vanguard has been attacked by the Germans, and the brothers have suffered heavy casualties!"

Shortly after the explosion, a French soldier, covered in blood, returned from the front on horseback.

His miserable appearance and eager tone shocked the hearts of the French generals present.

The Germans, who had been busy fleeing and did not dare to respond to them, actually took the initiative to attack them?

Is this true?

They think it's their hallucination!

However, the commander of the French army was relieved a lot, and he had just suspected that the Germans had already prepared.

Now it seems that his guess was correct.

However, although the Germans launched an attack, looking at this posture, it seems that they did not send many troops, and they were only tens of thousands.

Tens of thousands of people naturally can't threaten them.

And after consciously seeing through the tricks of the German army, his worries disappeared and he was completely relieved.

Hans, I have seen through your plans, but you know nothing about the strength of our Gauls!

"Hmph, this group of Hans people still dare to appear, I really don't know whether to live or die!"

"General, send troops, you can't let this group of Hansians be too arrogant!"

"Yes, General, the order we received is to defeat them, if we go back empty-handed, then how can we give 530 to the parliament and to His Excellency the President?"

Several French generals asked for battle, wanting to lead their troops to teach the German army a lesson.

They had just crossed the Rhine and were at the peak of their morale.

In addition, after the military reform, the combat effectiveness of the French army has increased a lot, and they have full confidence in their own strength.

Not to mention that there are only tens of thousands of German troops on the other side, even if the German army comes with 120,000 people, they still have the courage to fight each other.

So, he followed the advice of several subordinates and asked the French Alpine Army to attack the German flank, preparing to drive the German army out of their original positions, and then cooperate with another French army to wipe out this German army.

More than 100,000 French troops who had already crossed the river began to move, leaving the river on the east bank and rushing towards the German positions.

As soon as they left, the number of French troops on the ferry side immediately dropped by more than half, and it became empty.

At this moment, a German army quickly fought out from the flank and rushed at a very high speed to the French position guarding the ferry.

"Enemy attack!"

Since their main forces were right next to them, the French troops on the ferry side did not care much about the German attack.

At this distance, the French army was significantly closer.

Therefore, they were able to come back to support before the Germans arrived, so the French soldiers here at the ferry felt that the attack was nothing more than a trick!

Their real aim was not to provide a beachhead at the ferry, but to force the French to come back and thus relieve the pressure on the besieged Germans.

The French army, who consciously saw through the conspiracy of the other side, seemed to be unconcerned about the German attack, and it was not until the other side quickly approached that they began to realize that something was not quite right!

In a matter of moments, the German army appeared in front of them like a whirlwind from a distance, and the French soldiers guarding the crossing were startled by the speed of the other side.

Seeing the dust raised behind the German army and the sound of shaking from the ground, it dawned on them that this was a cavalry!

"Not good, it's cavalry!"

"What are they going to do?"

"It must be coming to the ferry!"

"Do they want to cut us off?"

Thinking of this possibility, the Han army on the side of the ferry felt as if they had fallen into an ice cellar, and their bodies were cold.

They were terrified by this terrible conjecture!

By this time, the 180,000 French troops had all crossed the Rhine, and if the ferry was really taken by the Germans, they would be trapped in the area east of the Rhine.

This is the home of the Hans, and they fight here, and they have no one at the right time.

Moreover, they had no idea how many Germans were fighting them!

"Quick, send the alarm quickly, the Germans are coming towards our ferry!" (read the violent novel, go to the Feilu novel network!)

Realizing the seriousness of the situation, the French troops guarding the crossing immediately sent a distress signal and tried to seek support from their main forces.

Although the opponent's cavalry is very fast, their friendly forces are not far from here, as long as they can hold out for a little longer (CGFB) until the friendly troops come back to help, they can save the day.

At that time, as long as the ferry is firmly controlled in their own hands, no matter how beautiful the German army's plan is, they will not be able to help them!

Boom!

At this time, on the battlefield where the battle was originally raging, there were bursts of dense explosions. []

Immediately afterwards, a large number of German soldiers appeared behind the French army and launched a fierce attack on the French army that was attacking the German army before the attack.

The main forces of the German army have finally appeared at this moment!

Hearing this violent explosion, the face of the French commander turned pale in an instant.

He's realized, they've been tricked!

"Quick, hurry up and control the ferry, someone else the Germans have cut off our retreat!"

He had already seen the German cavalry rushing towards his own crossing, and he had also seen the main force of the German army suddenly smash out from the flank, forming a three-fold situation against the French army.

For a while, the previous good situation deteriorated in an instant.

As if out of thin air, the Germans immediately surrounded them on the narrow battlefield on the east bank of the Rhine.

It is conceivable that if their retreat is cut off, then they will have to give it all here!

The French moved quickly, and almost as soon as they received the order, they sent a large number of cavalry to rush to the side of the ferry.

Only cavalry can stand up to surprise soldiers, and the cavalry of Gaul has always been known for their bravery and daring to fight, and has never been afraid of anyone.

Although they have fewer troops than their opponents, they are still confident that they can defeat each other.

"Stop them, don't let them leave the battlefield!"

Old Moltke's face became solemn when he saw the French cavalry dispatching.

Guards cavalry, this is an ace unit formed during the Napoleonic era.

Their combat effectiveness is the best in Europe, and they are the best cavalry among other countries.

If they could, no one would want to fight this unit in the open field of the field, because such a battlefield is the perfect stage for them to show their great fighting power.

But today, old Moltke has prepared a big gift for this cavalry!

"Boom, boom!"

The three German artillery battalions aimed their guns at the assembled Gallic cavalry, and fired a volley, killing and wounding a large number of French troops in an instant.

The explosion caused a panic among the horses, but the Gallic cavalry showed admirable fighting spirit.

As if they didn't see the shells falling on them, they quickly completed the assembly under the attack of the German shells, and then immediately rushed towards the German cavalry.

From beginning to end, they did not look at the German artillery.

They did not pay attention to such casualties at all, and when they followed Emperor Napoleon across Europe, they had encountered opponents more powerful than the German army, and suffered even heavier losses than they did now.

But none of these could hit them, and their inheritance has continued to this day!

However, old Moltke had more than one gift for them!

There is another, even more terrible gift that awaits them!
