Because he was too surprised, the blacksmith slapped himself.
Then he asked the sergeant: "Did you really see the Roman legions?"
The sergeant vowed: "I saw it, it was all red, and it was holding a big shield that could hide people behind it."
The blacksmith looked at the Austrian suspiciously. This was ridiculous anyway.
So he turned to his subordinates and said, "Come here and smell the smell of wine in his mouth."
Sergeant: "I didn't drink! That's absolutely true!"
The blacksmith turned to look at the captain: "Have you seen the Roman legions too?"
The captain shook his head like a rattle: "I didn't see it, but Frost did charge towards us with the eagle flag!"
The hussars looked at each other, and the last lieutenant said: "Maybe General Frost really carried an eagle flag and charged at the Austrians."
In fact, Frost and An Ning were not at the scene at all, and there was no way to rush towards the enemy, and there was no eagle flag.
But compared to the Roman legions summoned through time and space, the Eagle Flag seems much more credible.
So the hussars believed it! Having believed it, Frost raised the eagle flag and charged in person. As for the Roman legion, he probably misjudged the French army in the panic of being defeated.
Blacksmith: "I wonder if we can also raise an eagle flag if we fight bravely."
"There must be," his subordinate said, "I heard that troops that perform well can be awarded a flag by General Frost himself. That is probably the Eagle Flag!"
The Roman eagle flag did not have an eagle on it, but a metal eagle on the top of the flagpole.
Therefore, you can choose what kind of flag you want, and it will not conflict with the Eagle Flag. Therefore, the setting of the Eagle Flag actually does not conflict with the previous rumors!
The blacksmith waved his hand: "Okay, hand over the prisoner's gun, put it on the horse, and then quickly clear the way and perform meritorious service!"
The captured captain hurriedly asked: "What will we do if you leave?"
"We don't have time to escort you," the blacksmith pointed to the southwest. "You go directly in this direction and surrender to the town where we were formed. They will take you in!"

At the coalition headquarters, Alvinzi was studying the map with the Prussian commander Braunschweig. Suddenly, a messenger broke into the door: "Report! Your Excellency, Marshal, Your Excellency, the troops who just rushed to Babi Village have turned around and come back!"
Brunswick: "What? Asshole, you will be punished by military law if you make a U-turn like this!"
Alvinci patted the Prussian commander on the shoulder: "There may be some reason. Their commander should come to report the situation to us soon."
As soon as he finished speaking, the orderly opened the door again and let General Brzeski in.
This Hungarian of Slavic descent had always been dressed as a hussar and did not like the general attire of other generals at all.
"Why are you back, Brzeski?" Marshal Alvinci deliberately flicked his tongue when he said Brzeski's name, making the pronunciation sound a bit like Russian.
Brzeski: "Because Babi Village has collapsed, there is no need to go for reinforcements. The defeated troops have all ran close to the headquarters. Judging from the distance, they probably collapsed early this morning."
Alvinzi: "How is that possible? Even if the French army has a strength advantage, Brigadier General Ferdinand has 20,000 people. Even if he has 20,000 goats, it would take a whole day to capture them!"
"But they just collapsed. I asked different soldiers who defeated them. Some said they started attacking early in the morning, but were defeated by the enemy's counterattack. Others said they fought for several hours before they collapsed. Anyway, it was all in the morning.
It collapsed."
As he spoke, Brzeski stood aside and pulled out the major who had been hiding behind him: "This is an officer from Ferdinand's staff. Ask him for the details!"
Alvinqi took a step forward and looked at the officer carefully.
"Humph, at such a young age, I bet you haven't completed military courses." Alvinzi muttered, then waved to the orderly next to him, "Give him a glass of wine to make him brave, and see if he scares the hell out of him."
The orderly quickly brought the wine, and the young major drank it all in one gulp. As a result, he choked and coughed repeatedly.
After finally coughing, he looked up at Alvinzi: "Marshal, we launched the attack as usual in the morning, but the French army suddenly charged us.
"Can you imagine? The French army came in a swarm of skirmishers, and our right wing collapsed in an instant.
"I don't know where the French army got their courage. However, this is not the most ridiculous thing. An even more terrifying thing happened next. Our general suddenly went crazy."
Alvinzi: "Crazy? Wait, is this a metaphor, or is it literal?"
"Literally, Your Majesty the Marshal! Brigadier General Ferdinand shouted, 'Frost is coming' and 'Frost is coming carrying the eagle flag', and turned around and ran away!"
Alvinzi: "Frost is coming with the eagle flag?"
"At least I didn't see it. But... you should ask the defeated soldiers."
Alvinci: "Go find some defeated soldiers and come over for questioning."
A moment later the defeated troops were brought in.
"Your Excellency, Marshal." The top soldiers were very reserved, obviously they had never seen an official as big as the Marshal up close.
The Austrian army is different from the French army. Noble officers and soldiers are two different things. Even a small lieutenant is from a noble family passed down by two to three generations. When he goes to the battlefield, he will bring two orderlies to serve him, and he has to drink milk every morning.
Eat eggs.
Even a small lieutenant cannot be seen by a big-headed soldier all day long.
"Tell me, how did you fail?"
the marshal asked.
Several big-headed soldiers looked at each other, and then looked at the oldest one among them.
The veteran said to the marshal seriously: "It's the Roman Legion!"
Alvinqi gasped: "Frost organized a new legion?"
"No, it's a Roman legion! Wearing red armor and holding a shield."
Alvinzi was greatly shocked.
The veteran vowed: "I saw it with my own eyes!"
"You see," said the major of the defeated soldiers, "it was just a few people at first, but now if you ask any of the defeated soldiers, they will tell you that the Roman legions are coming. This is definitely a black magic. I always thought that the title of Frost was"
The 'magician of the battlefield' is a metaphor, but it turns out he really is a magician!"
Alvinci looked at Brunswick.
Brunswick: "Perhaps Frost really carried the eagle flag and charged, and then the defeated soldiers misunderstood in panic. To the defeated soldiers, the vegetation swaying in the wind would also be regarded as pursuing soldiers.
"
Alvinzi: "He really carried the eagle flag. This cobbler is very ambitious. He really wants to be the Caesar of the new era..."
"Then he must first change the flag of his motherland to red and gold, instead of the current red, white and blue." Brunswick said.
Brunswick didn't know that the national flag of Frost's motherland was really red and gold, which was the same color as the most orthodox Roman flag.
