"It's over! Berlin has been lost!"
Frederick II's face was filled with panic. He immediately jumped on his horse and shouted in a deep voice: "Notify all soldiers to return to Berlin to aid!"
Berlin is the base camp of Frederick II, and it is a place where he must not make any mistakes!
The Prussian army immediately returned to support Berlin, but it would take at least a week at the earliest. It has now been a week since the news was sent.
The remaining garrison strength in Berlin was only 10,000 people, and weapons and ammunition were scarce due to years of fighting.
But the Holy Crusaders led by Prince Subiz received support from countless countries.
They have no shortage of weapons, ammunition, and food, and their strength far exceeds that of the Prussian army by more than ten times.
There is no guarantee that the city of Berlin will not be lost!
He must return to Berlin as soon as possible. No matter what, Berlin must not make any mistakes!
But his adjutant said: "General, do you want to leave a team of troops to stop the escaping Holy Crusaders?"
This was the plan agreed between him and Ling Chen. The Long Yan Army was responsible for the attack, and he was responsible for cutting off the Holy Crusaders' retreat route.
But now Berlin is in trouble.
Frederick II thought for a moment, frowned and said: "The main task now is to defend Berlin. Let General Ling Chen know that I will leave a group of infantry and crossbowmen, and the rest will follow me to Berlin!"
Upon hearing this order, the adjutant did not ask.
Even if all the Holy Crusaders here were defeated and fled.
Not as good as Berlin.
That is the current base camp of Prussia, there must be no mistakes!
Frederick II immediately led his troops back to support Berlin.
At the same time, Ling Chen also learned the news, and he was stunned. He did not expect that the Holy Crusaders would divide into two groups and attack Berlin from the direction of Saxony.
Berlin is in danger!
Ling Chen sighed, and then he received the second news that Frederick II had returned for reinforcements.
Ling Chen was not surprised at all when he heard the news.
After all, Frederick's base camp is in Berlin. If anything goes wrong in Berlin, Prussia will almost be destroyed.
Ling Chen immediately checked the map, which marked the position of Frederick II's defense.
They were all very important retreat routes for the Holy Crusaders.
Originally, they had the opportunity to severely damage France and many Catholic countries. Under his careful deployment, these Holy Crusaders would never escape.
But now it seems that it is no longer possible.
Once Frederick II withdrew his troops, these retreat routes would no longer be obstructed.
The outcome of this battle with the Holy Crusaders was at least half reduced.
However, this was helpless. Fortunately, Frederick II still left some troops behind.
Ling Chen continued to lead the Longyan Army to attack, but as expected, these Holy Crusaders were all defeated like a tide.
After losing their fighting spirit, although the Holy Crusaders still had a huge advantage, they did not dare to fight the Long Yan Army.
The infantry and crossbowmen of the Long Yan Army scared their artillery and musketeers into retreat.
Not to mention other branches of the military.
The Longyan Army did not bring cavalry into the battle, but the cavalry of the Holy Crusaders were completely useless. Facing the Longyan Army that had lost its artillery on the plain battlefield, it should have been extremely advantageous.
But the result was exactly the opposite, not at all.
Although the Battle of Hanover was not over yet, the Holy Crusaders had begun to retreat.
…
And at the same time.
After learning that Li Hongtian had negotiated with Victor about the construction of steam trains, Liu Zheng ordered his troops to march northward and march into Saxony to support war with war, starting from Saxony to solve his current food and grass problem.
But just before launching his troops, Liu Zheng received news that shocked him.
Prince Subitz had led the Holy Crusaders to capture Berlin.
Liu Zheng was stunned for a moment. The Holy Crusaders had already captured Berlin. The next moment, he thought that Prussia would probably fall as a result.
As an ally of Prussia, Liu Zheng intervened in Europe's best media, and this matter was absolutely not allowed to happen.
Liu Zheng personally led 50,000 Longyan troops and immediately rushed to the front line.
Never let Berlin fall completely.
Liu Zheng and Saxony started a fierce battle.
Facing the Holy Crusaders who suddenly appeared on the floor of Austria, the Saxon defenders were at a loss.
They have never received intelligence that there is a dragon flame army lurking nearby.
Austria belongs to the rear of Saxony, and both parties belong to the anti-Prussian alliance. Coupled with various historical relationships, the two countries are trustworthy comrades.
Therefore, the King of Saxony has always been very at ease on the Austrian border and did not set up too many garrison troops.
For them, the defensive line along the border between the two countries has always been very safe.
But I didn't expect that a large group of Dragon Flame Army would appear now!
The Saxon garrison was at a loss.
Without any preparation or any psychological expectations, the Long Yan Army led by Liu Zheng quickly attacked the city.
The Saxon frontier soon fell.
Regarding the fall of the Saxon city, Liu Zheng did not hesitate at all and immediately dealt with all the soldiers in the city.
Use war to support war and never leave any future troubles.
Longyan's army attacked rapidly in Saxony.
Now the main forces of Saxony are united with Prince Subitz to attack Prussia, and there is not much redundant force at all.
In response to the Longyan Army's attack, the King of Saxony had no choice but to summon troops to return for reinforcements and defend the Longyan Army.
But these 50,000 Long Yan Army are like rainwater flowing into the sea, their shadows are everywhere.
They could raid up to six times in one day in Saxony at different locations.
Each time would cause unbearable damage to Saxony.
The King of Saxony was too tired to deal with the Longyan Army's attack and had no time to continue paying attention to Prussia's annihilation campaign.
Prince Subitz was truly unparalleled in bravery, and he quickly captured Berlin, but after capturing Berlin.
Because Prince Subitz lacked the assistance of the Saxon troops, he was originally a coalition army. As soon as Saxony withdrew, Prince Subitz's troops were suddenly reduced sharply.
It is precisely at this critical moment.
Frederick II led the Prussian army to attack. Prince Subitz lacked support and troops, and the Longyan Army was cutting off their retreat route at the moment. Prince Subitz did not fight Frederick II. .
Instead, withdraw troops early.
To avoid being surrounded and attacked by the Long Yan Army and the Prussian Army.
Prince Subitz occupied Berlin for only one day and did not cause much damage to Berlin. He hurriedly evacuated and retained his troops.
When Frederick II arrived, Berlin was in a state of war.
However, the residents of the city were still well, but all the Prussian troops defending the city were killed.
The city walls were also torn to pieces by cannon fire.
Frederick II felt very lucky that Berlin was still in his hands.
But I am also very scared. Without the help of the Long Yan Army that suddenly came out this time, I am afraid Berlin will definitely fall!
