The British Redwoods Army that landed was after all a carefully selected elite, and many of the soldiers were veterans of the American Revolutionary War, and their will to fight was extremely tenacious.

You must know that in the original American Revolutionary War, due to the fact that the US Continental Army won fewer frontal battles and lost more, under the leadership of Washington, the US Army did everything in its power to consume the living strength of the British army.

Every time the British army transports supplies, it seems to have passed through the ghost gate, and the Americans may face off against the weak scum of combat effectiveness, but as the head of the land, if they really want to fight with the British soldiers, there are ways to slowly bleed the British Army, guerrilla warfare is not a unique tactic in later generations, as early as the Han Dynasty, guerrilla warfare was played by the ancients!

In the North American continent, the American mob that does not want to be oppressed by the heavy taxes of the British government and maintains independence and freedom is everywhere, but the British Army has a number, and if it is lost, it will have to be transported from the mainland and overseas colonies

On the contrary, the US Army, with the support of the French, fought more and more, and the recruits were trained to become veterans, and it was no wonder that the British were not consumed to death!

One can imagine how terrible it is for the British veterans who survived the American battlefield where there were enemies everywhere to temper their will to fight.

The real elite will always be fought, not trained, and a good guard of honor can be trained, but it is in vain for elite veterans to train for a hundred years without blood.

Although the Imperial Guard dragged the elite of the British Redwoods Army into a numerically inferior bayonet hand-to-hand combat in the middle, it was never able to really defeat these tenacious veterans of the British Redwoods, and the Imperial Guard attacking on both flanks was repulsed by the British troops in a defensive position for several rounds, and could not form a combined attack on the main British army resisting in the center.

After hours of fighting, General Carlsen still looked confident, as the Imperial Guard in the middle was gradually smoothed out, and the attack became weak and completely meaningless in a war of attrition.

The reason is simple, because General Carlsen still has a hole card that has not been played, that saber light cavalry force of a full 5,000 men!

When the troops on the left flank stopped the offensive and transferred nearly half of their forces to the right flank, and together with the troops on the right flank, launched another larger attack, General Carlson decisively threw the 5,000 sabre light cavalry into it.

After several hours of fighting, General Carlson believed that his 5,000 light cavalry would be enough to bring a war to a close, with too many casualties.

After giving the order for the cavalry to attack, General Carlson even thought with great relief in his heart that the task of pinning down the young guards on the two outer roads had been completed perfectly, and he had not yet seen the figure of the world-famous British German Legion.

It was naturally impossible for the British commander of the Imperial Guard to see the move, but he had no new force to replenish, so he could only use the method of demolishing the east wall to make up the west wall.

"Gather the Scottish Highland infantry, move to the left flank, and tell the Scottish lads that the French cavalry will never be allowed to break through to the center until they are dead!"

After the British commander gave the order, he squinted at the battlefield full of corpses on the road in his eyes: "Play the grenadier march, all the guards and officers who did not go to the battlefield will launch a general attack on the enemy in the center with me, we need soldiers instead of commanders now!" ”

"General, if we fight like this, it is very likely that the whole army will be wiped out!" The surrounding British officers persuaded.

Today's discerning people can see that although they can still support it by relying on the elite tenacity of the British Redwood Army, the number of the other side far exceeds their own, and the main force of the 30,000 British troops that landed and thousands of British German Legions are not here, with more than 20,000 people against 50,000 Imperial Guards, they are still so desperate, even if they can win, they will basically lose the ability to continue the attack

Therefore, it seems that it is wise to retreat with the preservation of strength, and the British do not have a tradition of fighting to the end.

The British commander-in-chief naturally understood what the officers under his command meant, and he just pointed to the Imperial Guard cavalry gathered in the distance: "Do you think we can escape safely under the pursuit of thousands of cavalry?" Do you think that once the troops with heavy losses now retreat, who else will be able to stop thousands of high-morale cavalry?

Now our soldiers still have some hope of victory, and the sense of honor from the elite can allow the soldiers to drag their tired bodies to continue fighting, but if I give the order to retreat, even if I can keep more people, how much combat power can be retained?

Our troops themselves are much smaller than those of the French, and if we lose even this sense of pride and honor, we might as well return home in a sloppy boat!

Lin Haoda's main force is still far away in the Netherlands, if he can't even defeat the second-line troops he left in France, how can we explain to the king and the parliament?

The most important thing is that the French army in front of them is far less good at fighting than the rumored Young Guards, and they are almost unable to hold on. ”

The British commander-in-chief quickly persuaded most of the officers, these officers from the elite of the British Sequoia Army, naturally also have their own arrogance, the elite of the British Army's implementation of the army elite policy, combat effectiveness is still very strong.

"Only me, row after row, Britannia grenadiers.

Ancient heroes are invisible, deadly cannonballs with iron pellets.

Unheard of ignition material, indestructible black powder.

”

The sonorous and powerful march of the grenadiers resounded in the rear of the British Central Route Army, accompanied by the rice-shaped flags fluttering in the wind, a group of British officers wearing military hats and straight-shaped figures, like a guard of honor, holding command knives and flintlock pistols, walked towards the middle of the battlefield.

They numbered only a few hundred, but they breathed new life into the elite soldiers of the British Redwoods, who sang the March of the Grenadier like a contagion, and more and more Redwoods soldiers let go of their throats, stabbed bayonets into the enemy's body, or were sent to hell by the enemy.

All of a sudden, the crumbling front of the British army in the middle was instantly stabilized, and there was no sign of collapse in sight!

General Carlson didn't care about the stubborn resistance of the British army in the middle, his chips were mainly pressed on the right flank, tens of thousands of gathered Imperial Guard infantry with the charge of 5,000 cavalry, far from being able to fight against the British army on the opposite side, as long as the right flank successfully broke through, no matter what kind of turtle son song he sang to the British, he couldn't avoid the end of total defeat!
