"Master, I'm back." At the rear of the battlefield, Corleone led a light cavalry unit and walked slowly towards Eugen and the others. The gray linen robe was stained with blood and dust, and the neatly combed hair was a mess, but the fighting spirit was very high.

"Haha, nice job Corleone, how about it, no injuries." Eugen greeted him with a smile, and Corleone's courageous and resolute manner impressed Eugen.

is also Eugen's entourage, Rambo and Corleone have a very good relationship, and at this moment, seeing Corleone's blood-covered appearance, he also quipped: "Looking at your bloody appearance, I'm afraid you're not about to ascend to heaven and become the Lord's warrior." ”

Corleone has never been smiling, and when he heard Rambo's ridicule at this moment, he didn't refute it, but just said one by one: "No, these are the blood of the enemy." ”

Walking to Eugen's side, Corleone immediately dismounted, clenched his right hand into a fist on his left chest, and bowed to Eugen: "Corleone is fortunate not to be dishonored, Lord Eugen." ”

Eugen hurriedly dismounted and helped Corleone up, patted his arm and said happily: "This time, fortunately, thanks to you blocking the enemy's light cavalry, we were able to win a great victory, and you are our great hero!" ”

Being praised by Eugen like this, Corleone said with some embarrassment: "No, it's the head of the family who has good tactics, and I just follow orders." ”

Lan Bo stood next to him and nodded again and again: "Indeed, the victory of the family master over the enemy's powerful heavy cavalry with inferior forces this time is simply a classic example of defeating the strong with the weak, which can be compared with those famous generals in history." ”

Being slapped on the back like this is an experience that Eugen has not had in the previous twenty years. At this moment, he felt that he was a little fluttering, but with the previous twenty years of his career as a paving, he quickly sobered up.

A person who lives in praise all year round will revel in it, and a person like Eugen who spends his time in criticism and ridicule can stay sober and be prepared for danger in times of peace.

Therefore, he just said humbly: "No, after all, it is everyone's credit!" After cleaning up the battlefield, we will return to Kasselburg for a grand celebration party! ”

In the latter half of the sentence, Eugen opened his voice and said it to all the fighters. When the soldiers who were cleaning the battlefield heard Eugen's words, they all shouted excitedly: "Long live General Eugen, long live General Eugen!" ”

The joy after winning a battle is always forgetful. In the midst of laughter, Eugen looked at the end of the road, a sad look on his face.

If the rest of the enemy's forces are all overwhelmed, how should this battle be fought? He didn't believe that the attack of the French team this time was just a cavalry class.

At this moment, in the French barracks on the Rhine, a battle is being staged.

Marshal Tyrande's lieutenant stood in the center, his fists clenched to his legs, his head bowed like a child who had made a mistake.

Several of the noble knights wrapped in gorgeous armor around them were shirking their responsibilities with all kinds of high-sounding words, but their tone was still very righteous and awe-inspiring.

"The main responsibility for this defeat lies in the command error of Marshal Tyrande, who led to himself in a critical situation and was finally captured." A viscount with a fat physique and fat piled up on his face said. It's really hard for him to put all that flesh on his body into the knight's armor.

The other viscount, who was also arrogant and whose eyes were raised to the sky, glanced at the adjutant obliquely, and said in a strange manner: "That being said, the adjutant who commands the light cavalry unit cannot be said to be without responsibility. If he had been able to command the troops in time to keep up with the marshal, things might not have turned out like this. ”

The adjutant smacked his lips and tried to speak, but in the end he didn't say anything.

Although he is also the title of viscount, he is still different from the few people around him. His family had been declining to his side, and Viscount was the current highest title in the family.

In other words, he doesn't have any background. His only advantage was Marshal Tyrande's appreciation of him. It's a pity that now Marshal Tyrande has been defeated, and there is always someone to blame for this. In addition to the captured Marshal Tyrande, he has become the most suitable backstabber.

"Yes, yes, fortunately we retreated in time, so we didn't let the damage go further. If all the nobles of the French Empire's westward march were captured by that hairy boy Eugen, it would really become the biggest joke of the times. A baron a little further back spoke, his words obviously exaggerated, but they were just the right fig leaf for all the nobles present.

Because of this, several other nobles also praised this remark and confirmed the correctness of this retreat.

In fact, they themselves knew that if they had not retreated and insisted on fighting at that time, perhaps it would not have been a small loss now, but a complete victory. However, the previous onslaught of the light cavalry of the Holy Roman Empire really frightened them, and due to the problem of perspective, the charge of nearly a hundred cavalry from the bottom up looked like there were thousands of horses.

Coupled with the defeat of Marshal Tyrande in front of them, which undermined their confidence, the entire army was instantly routed, and the light cavalry withdrew without even playing a role.

As a result, when he finally returned to the barracks, he lost nearly fifty light cavalry, and several nobles were not injured.

Several French viscounts and barons were still shirking their responsibilities, and when the adjutant finally couldn't help it now, he suddenly raised his head and stared at everyone and said, "Everyone, we haven't completely failed yet!" Don't forget, in addition to the cavalry, we also have a large number of infantry, pikemen, and archers. ”

"If we mobilize all our armies now and catch up with the soldiers of the Holy Roman Empire and fight them, we still have a chance of victory!"

What he said, officially Eugen feared the most.

This attack of the French Empire was definitely vigorous and prepared, in addition to the cavalry troops with a total number of 800 people, there were also a large number of non-cavalry.

The total number of infantry and pikemen alone has exceeded 1,000, as well as ranged units such as musketeers, archers, and even artillerymen.

You must know that the western border of the Holy Roman Empire was bounded by the Rhine River, but now the military camps of the French Empire have been established on the inner side of the Rhine, and its forward has penetrated deep into the Kasselburg under the Sudetenland.

If the defense of Fort Kassel was broken through this time, the French Empire's army could drive straight into the heart of the Holy Roman Empire.
