Chapter 31 Rivers The natural enemy of every military strategist

As a team member, Austria is not very good. Not only do it to kill the Prussians repeatedly, but it often pulls its back.

If it weren't for the cheap dad's smartness, the 33rd Spartan Legion was still separated from each other, and its combat effectiveness would not be as simple as half weakening. But even if this team member is not strong, the team members are still members, and they are also indispensable mts in the team.

To be fair, from the beginning of the war to the present, the Austrians have been under great pressure. Even if they do nothing, they just stand in place stupidly, they can become an important bargaining chip on the balance of victory.

The Swedes had set up a plan to deal with the Austrians with great intentions, including heavy damage to the Austrian army, then entering Silesia, and then crossing the Sudeten Mountains and entering Bohemia, the core territory of Habsburg.

This series of actions is obviously to severely damage and shake the Austrians and make the Austrians lose confidence in disappointment in victory. In the eyes of the Austrians, they see that victory is hopeless. In order to avoid greater losses, the content proposed by the Swedes is probably that if the Swedes return to their territory and Austria will withdraw from the game of the Prussian War of the Throne. Then the Prussian royalist party, which has no Austrians on the side, will be alone and will be dealt with. That will take a minute.

OK, I may have known the intention of the Swedes and Prussians, but this is useless. Because the target they are not me, Ludwig must see through it to be useful. But this is more difficult. If the Swedes cheat and pretend to retreat, who knows what's going on? Maybe they catch up with me when they get angry, and then the tragedy will unfold.

If it were in the 21st century, I would have a call and immediately solved the problem. But now it is the 18th century, which is 300 years behind the 21st century!

Nowadays, you need to contact each other. You either have a fast horse or a flying pigeon.

No matter how fast the horse is, it will take more than ten days. I am afraid that when Ludwig arrived there, all the 17,500 Austrian troops in Ludwig were finished. This should be very fast, and it will take three or four days, but there is a technical problem. There is no pigeon between us who knows the flight route.

Then the only way out is to destroy the Swedes and Prussians' encirclement and annihilation of Ludwig...

A head-on attack?

A good idea is also the simplest and most practical method, but it is also the most casualties. Who has let the only bridges on both sides of the strait be monitored by the Prussians?

Then take other measures?

I looked at the map and burst into tears. I went to your sister's 18th century and 21st century and had a phone call. I had to make such a big circle here, and it might not work. Damn. I had known that I would have been studying electrical majors, so I made a phone call here myself.

"Your Highness is busy inside. You'd better not go in." This seemed to be Asassin's voice.

"Uh. OK, what's your highness's expression?" It seemed to be the voice of Hippias.

Hippias said again: "It seems to be very painful."

"It's probably because of the hemorrhoids. Asassin, you should go in and treat them instead of guarding the door."

Does hemorrhoids cause egg pain?

I don't know, but I know that if I don't act anymore, I will really feel bad.

On July 6, I finally formulated a detailed plan, and then carried a large number of horses to the entire army.

In less than 8 hours we arrived at the Principality of Anhalt Dessau.

This small principality has left Prince Dessau's management and maintained the most basic order so far. The locals still collect taxes, those who should pay taxes, those who should maintain the stability of the villages, those who should resolve disputes are still resolving disputes, and those who should manage the Prince's palace are still managing his palace for Prince Dessau.

The person in charge here also recognizes us.

After we were stationed, he came to our station in person and asked in a very tactful way about what could help us. Although he meant what you were doing here, I didn't tell him anything, just revealed that we would stay here for a few days.

The Prussians who were restraining us on the other side were extremely nervous because of our arrival. More than 2,000 people were guarding the bridge connecting the Elbe River as soon as possible.

I didn't plan to cross the Elbe River here. Even though we had a huge shelling advantage here, who knew whether Prussia would cut off the firewood from the bottom of the pot and suddenly blew up the entire bridge. So when I came to the Principality of Anhalt Dessau, the order I issued to the 33rd Spartan Legion was to rest, and the order to Hitler was to continue their training.

More than ten days passed in a row. Just as we were confronting the Duchy of Anhalt Dessau, the 23,000 royalist coalition army arranged four infantry regiments on the left bank of the Elbe River, a total of 4,000 people, in conjunction with the 4 12-pound cannons and 10 6-pound cannons of the 33rd Spartan Legion blocked the passage of Dresden facing the left bank, and the main force 19,000 people arranged an offensive on the right bank, preparing to welcome the rebels' joint army.

On noon the second day after arriving at the destination, the rebels' coalition army launched an offensive to try to clear the siege against the Royalist Army besieged Dresden. The Saxon Army in Dresden was inspired by reinforcements and launched a charge. However, because the royalist Army was prepared and the rebels' coalition army from Berlin did not deliberately launch a fierce offensive, this time it was a failure. The rebels' coalition army launched a small-scale test almost every day, but after the third day, the rebels' coalition army changed from offense to defense and began to build defensive fortifications.

Is the rebels' coalition army going to create a circle and circle, and to counter-encircle it, and to surround the royalist army on the right bank of the Elbe River?

This is not impossible, because the Royalist Joint Army did not have any food inventories, and the food they consumed every day was collected from all around. If the anti-siege of the rebels was successful, the tragedy would be the Royalist Joint Army, and the conflict between the two sides escalated on the seventh day. The two sides launched the Dresden relief battle around a high ground, with the largest scale and the largest casualties so far.

After one day of fierce battle, both sides invested between three or four infantry regiments, with about 6,000 troops. As a result, the Royalist Joint Army prompted the Rebels' Joint Army to give up their plans, and the Rebels' Joint Army caused about 500 casualties to the enemy at a cost of 300 people slightly lower than the Royalist Joint Army.

After that, both sides shut down.

There is only one explanation for such a phenomenon, and neither side intends to make a decisive battle to decide the outcome on this main battlefield where the most troops have been invested.

The Austrians were undoubtedly very satisfied with attracting the attention of the enemy in Dresden, because this would create an environment for Ludwig's army on the Eastern Front to attack Berlin and gain the right to speak for the final victory. The Swedes also used this idea to drag down the main force of the enemy in Dresden, defeat Ludwig from the Eastern Front, and break into Silesia, and then threaten Bohemia, thus forcing the Austrians to withdraw from the game of the Prussian throne war. Once the Austrians withdrew, the morale of the Prussian general collapsed and was defeated without attack.

Whether the Swedes can defeat the Austrians is one thing, and how we can solve this situation and prepare for the worst is another.

At 8 o'clock on the night of July 16, Assassin brought the news that the main force of the 33rd Spartan Legion entered the scheduled location.

According to my plan, the key to success or failure of the plan lies in three keys.

First, did the Prussians relax their vigilance because of my transfer.

Information showed that their performance in the first few days of our departure was almost the same as those of the plants and plants. They hurriedly burned all the ships they found and sent all the cavalry out to see where we crossed the river. But now, it has returned to normal. Even the Asa Department reported that the commander of the Prussian infantry regiment left the camp and went to the town of Potsdam to receive entertainment from the local Junkers.

The second key is whether the 33rd Spartan Legion has the ability to continue fighting after forcing the force.

Although the Prussians did not destroy the small ferry boats along the river, in order to paralyze the Prussians, we did not send soldiers to the ferry boats along the coast. Because that would only tell the Prussians that we were going to cross the river. And they sent people to monitor the docks on both sides. Even if we wanted to collect the boats in the docks and take them out when we wanted to use them, they would alarm the Prussians. If we wanted not to alarm the Prussians, we had to take a long way. The nearest bridge we grasped was 34 kilometers away from the Prussians in Potsdam. Such a long distance forcing troops was a very test of endurance.

At 8 a.m. on the 17th, two artillery companies, a total of 6 6-pound guns and 4 three-pound guns, launched artillery bombardment on the Prussians who guarded the bridge across the bank, which caught the Prussians off guard. Later, Hippias led Hitler's regiment to launch an offensive to seize the bridge on Prussia across the bank.

At the same time, all soldiers of the 33rd Spartan Legion rode their horses to Prussia on the front line of Potsdam.

However, just over an hour after we rushed towards the Prussians in Potsdam, the cavalry sent from the rear caught up with us.

"Your Highness! Commander Hippias asked me to tell you that the Prussian rebels have retreated!!!"

"Retreat?"

"Retreat!!!"

The Prussians withdrew, and just retreated?

Damn it!

"Your Highness's expression is so sad." Leon said secretly to Assassin from the side.

"Is hemorrhoids recurred?"

Leon, you're enough!

Don’t push everything on my hemorrhoids. Besides, I don’t have hemorrhoids!

I glared at the guy fiercely and closed my eyes. (To be continued...)
Chapter completed!
