Standing on a high ground, Delrisen saw his infantry line collapse before it even properly engaged with the enemy, and he immediately flung his binoculars to the ground in anger.
"They are a disgrace to the Royal Guards!"
He then remembered that his Grenadier Corps were still holding on and urgently said to the orderly officer, "Order Bohr and Karlus's units to go up and reinforce the grenadiers!"
These two units were his reserves. In his opinion, the mismanagement of the Fein Legion must have led to the mishap. As long as they could stabilize the situation with the Grenadier Corps at the core, they should still be able to hold out.
Soon, the Prussian reserve unit, which had just formed up, began to advance. Previously positioned about 200 steps behind the first infantry line, they needed only about ten minutes to fill the gap.
This second line formation also served another purpose, to block the soldiers trying to flee in the event of a collapse at the front.
