Chapter 331: The Great Victory of Luxembourg
When large formations engaged in combat, a continuous collapse at the frontline inevitably led to immense chaos.
Blucher personally commanded the third infantry line and committed all his reserves, yet he was still unable to restore order among the soldiers at the front.
Soon, a large number of Prussian rout soldiers, driven by the Guard Corps, turned around and surged toward their own last line of defense.
The Prussian cannons, which had originally occupied favorable firing positions, now faced a mix of French and Prussian soldiers and could not find a clear target to attack.
Instead, the Mounted Artillery of the Guard swiftly maneuvered to a higher position on the western side and began barraging the Prussian infantry lines from behind under the protection of the cavalry.
Watching the Prussian soldiers scurrying about like ants whose nest had been destroyed, and hearing the deafening sound of French artillery, Blucher knew the battle was no longer tenable.
