Vincent Morris was fond of nationalism because he liked the feeling of being all in one place.

When the Revolution of 1848 swept Munich in 1848, Vincent Morris led his troops to respond. Later, he joined the Frankfurt Parliament, where he became a representative of Bavaria.

After the death of Heinrich von Gagn, the taste of the National Assembly changed, and they cowered on the issue of support for Belgium.

Vincent Morris joined the Luxembourgers with a group of "real" German nationalists.

Since Luxembourg's army had only been established for a few years, the previous battles had been dominated by Austria and Prussia, who were only behind to help transport supplies or maintain order.

In short, they did not have qualified officers, and there were not many people in the entire coalition army who had been on the battlefield and could use firearms proficiently.

After some deliberation among the few officers who had only Vincent Morris, it was agreed that only Vincent Morris could lead the army.

Some of these officers were higher in rank than Vincent Morris, but there was no doubt that Vincent Morris's talents were far superior to them.

The officers knew better than the soldiers how dangerous the battle was, and most of them felt that they would not make it back alive, so something was unimportant.

Of course, they also have a bit of a fluke mentality, in case they can really win! It's good to be a hero, but it's even better to be a living hero!

Vincent Morris naturally did his best along the way, hoping to build this coalition army into an elite force.

However, due to fanatical nationalist sentiment and some excitement on the battlefield, his soldiers soon became a group of beasts that chose to eat people.

The chaos on the battlefield at this time was very beneficial to the coalition army, because it diluted the fear and disrupted the enemy's disposition.

Now it's all about which side has the thicker nerves and which side can withstand more casualties.

Vincent Morris actually admired the French cavalry in front of him, who had already suffered nearly 20% of the casualties, and were still fighting against several times the size of the infantry without artillery.

From this alone, Vincent Morris dared to conclude that no army in the entire Kingdom of Bavaria could do this.

Their bravery and tenacity are commendable, but this style of play is a bit stupid.

As the Allied artillery continued to be pushed up, round after round of shotguns were spilled on the French.

The French army fell in pieces, and some did not even have time to let out a cry of mourning.

At this time, General Compaoré, who was sitting in the rear, was so angry that he didn't understand why the cavalry dismounted and fired at the infantry, he only felt that his men were all stupid pigs.

General Compaoré again grabbed one of the officers beside him.

"Listen! Let them attack the offense! Don't stay put! Damn it! They are cavalry! They have horses! Why shoot at the infantry!

No matter what the cost, I want them to attack immediately! ”

The main battlefield was also at a stalemate, with the new army and the sudden Belgian counterattack disrupting the rhythm of the French army.

Especially after the beginning of hand-to-hand combat, the soldiers of both sides scuffled and entangled, and the French army's artillery superiority could not be brought into play.

At the same time, the drawbacks of Oudino's previous oppressive attack are beginning to show.

The advantage of this type of offensive is that the offensive is as continuous as a storm crashing on the shore, which can severely damage the enemy's morale and compress the enemy's defensive space and make the enemy lose their position.

As long as one point is breached, the enemy's entire line of defense will collapse, and the battle can be ended quickly, with high efficiency, and the actual casualties may be smaller than if it were fought steadily.

However, the disadvantage of this style of play is also great, that is, it is often accompanied by great casualties in the early stage, and if you can't press the opponent, then you will fall into passivity.

For the enemy, it was also possible to break up the French offensive by simply breaking a certain point.

At this time, Leopold I and Charles Rozher were looking for such an opportunity, and the Belgian army was demoralized by the arrival of reinforcements, which was an opportunity they could take advantage of.

The French and Belgians fighting on the frontal battlefield did not know the exact number of allied forces, so the more brave the latter, the more fearful the former.

Compaoré in the rear could see clearly that although the number of enemy reinforcements was quite large, they were stuck to death by the elite cavalry of the French army.

As long as they can take advantage of this opportunity to take the main position of the Belgians, then the final victory will be the French.

However, the French soldiers who were fighting on the frontal battlefield did not know this, they only knew that the enemy's reinforcements were coming, and they were constantly climbing over the hills.

It was this hesitation that caused the soldiers to hesitate, and as the battle progressed, the French began to fatigue, and the massive increase in casualties continued to hit morale.

The kilometers of battle were already covered with corpses, and Leopold I's own guards had joined the bloody battle.

General Compaoré's blood pressure was already full, and he had hoped to end the battle with minimal casualties.

However, the disorganized invasion of the German coalition disrupted his original plan, and now the enemy had the advantage in numbers, and even if he could win, the losses would be far greater than expected.

"Damn! Where did they come from! Are all those who engage in intelligence pigs! ”

The officers on the side were also helpless, and there was really no news from the rear that the enemy had reinforcements.

"! Where did those Germans come from! Are they trying to declare war on our great France? ”

It was only then that Compaoré remembered that although the French Provisional Government had repeatedly threatened Austria with war, it did not seem to have declared war with the German Confederation in front of him.

Now that the two sides are fighting on Belgian soil, it is difficult to say which side provoked the war.

But there wasn't much time left for him to think, as another army appeared on the other side of the battlefield.

"Again?"

Compaoré picked up the telescope, and the black, red, and gold tricolor flags came into view again. At this moment, he felt hopeless, and his career seemed to be really coming to an end.

He had less than 2,000 men in reserve, and the size of the new army was at least 10,000 men.

"Quick! Resist! Resist! You, you, you take the reserves up! As long as we can withstand two hours, the victory will still be ours! ”

Compaoré's men, though somewhat suspicious, carried out the order, after all, there seemed to be no better way at this time.

The French army could not surrender to these motley armies.

Several officers immediately led the remaining reserves to stop the new enemy force, hoping that their comrades in the main field would quickly deal with the Belgians.

However, the last reserve of the French army collapsed before the main battlefield collapsed.

Because for those French troops on the frontal battlefield, at this time it was no longer a two-sided attack, but a three-sided attack.

And the infantry did not have the discipline of cavalry.
