Chapter 383 Awkward Situation

Southern Netherlands.

In the southern suburbs of Brussels, the encampment of the Hanoverian expeditionary force.

"At last, here!" Charles II declared with full confidence as he tapped a small town southeast of Brussels on a military map, his voice loud, "We will form an encirclement around the French and ultimately annihilate them. Then we will march south to support General Blucher..."

A few officers in front of him exchanged embarrassed glances. Eventually, an older general spoke up cautiously:

"Marshal, your deployment is indeed impeccable. However... the current state of our soldiers, I'm afraid, isn't quite suited to launch a full-scale counterattack."

The other officers immediately nodded in agreement—

Just half a month ago, Charles II had assembled an army of 30,000 men and a large amount of logistical supplies to deliver a thunderous blow to the French Army's positions.
