Not long after, the Prussian infantry that rushed in the front were almost gone. At this time, heavy mortars and heavy short-barrel artillery began to roar, machine guns began to fire flat, and field artillery soldiers also jumped out of the trenches.

Returning to the cannon, a new round of bombardment against the enemy behind began.

Under such circumstances, no matter how tenacious the Prussians were, they could not rush forward any further. They rushed back desperately.

At this time, the cavalry of the Second Army began to be dispatched.

Compared with the Truchens, although the Prussian army also had two armies, their cavalry had only ten battalions, while the Truchen army had three brigades!

The next brigade's cavalry rushed towards the enemy's cavalry, while the two brigades rushed towards the chaotic infantry!

....

Another half day has passed.

At dusk, the battle gradually stopped.

The Prussians came out to attack the Truqin army's position, and finally returned to their own camp with only one division, with two divisions falling down and running to the camp.

The Truqin Army suffered minor losses, less than one battalion!

After hearing the results of the war, Techina immediately issued a new order.

"All cavalry retreated and arranged along the main passage of the enemy's large rear. Infantry and artillery rested for one night and prepared for early morning battle"

Prussian camp.

These two Prussian troops were composed of the Silesian Legion and the Northern Polish Legion. This time, Frederick obviously spent a lot of money. The commander of the Silesian Legion was the famous brother of Frederick, Prince Henry, and the Northern Polish Legion was the

It is Frederick's nephew, the same famous Prince Peidinan!

In the past, during the Seven Years War, Prince Henry carried the Austrian army alone in the south, and Peidinan's uncle carried the French army alone in the west, and they fought with less and more. Although their victory was not as brilliant as Frederick, their defeat was not as good as Frederick.

So miserable, he is also a famous general.

However, the joint attack of the two men showed a big blow in front of Truqin's army!

Henry's residence, there was only a small candle in the room. The firelight beside the fireplace shone brightly on the faces from time to time, and it was obvious that both of them were in a bad mood.

It's okay for Pei Dinan. This Prince Pei Dinan was not Prince Pei Dinan during the Seventh Year of Qi War, but the nephew of the famous general. He inherited his uncle's position as prince. Although he had been through a long battle, he had been in command of a front army.

It didn't take long.

Henry is different. The reason why Frederick the Great is famous is that his second brother's contribution is second only to him.

He is in his fifties now and did not want to join the army anymore, especially when facing the famous Truqin, he was reluctant to do so. He was reluctant to be persuaded by his brother not long ago.

He thought of the power of Truqin Army, but never expected it to be so powerful.

Henry picked up a piece of wood and threw it into the fireplace. With a crackling sound, his sound echoed inside.

"The Truchens invented a new weapon, a quick gun that can shoot soldiers in large quantities, and with their unique mortar, we have no chance"

Pei Dinnan was also worried, "What should we do?"

Henry said: "The enemy's losses are not great. If we rest overnight, we will attack us with all our might. With the power of their artillery, we will definitely not be able to resist it, because our field artillery has been consumed almost."

"You mean retreat overnight?"

"Yes, it's too late if you don't leave"

"Where to retreat?"

"There are two options. One is to retreat straight to Silesia. When you get there, you can get support from the Saxony and the Berlin Legion"

"One is to retreat to Rhodes and meet with the East Prussian Legion"

"But..."

"Uncle, are you worried that if you retreat to Rhodes, you won't be able to hold it there?"

"Well, the city of Rhodes was guarded by Kazimiz himself. He obviously got a lot of artillery and ammunition from the Truchens. We were not superior. We attacked for ten days and there was not much progress."

p>

"As for Silesia, our opponent is Techina of the Lviv Legion, one of the seven hereditary nobles of the Truqin Empire, who has been through the battlefield for a long time and is a subordinate of Qitadnashi. According to our information

, Lviv had two armies, and he brought them to Krakow"

"There is only one army here at present. According to their usual practice, it is impossible to place an army in Krakow's garrison..."

Pei Dinnan suddenly thought of something, "You mean Silesia?"

"Yes, although our king worked hard to build a large army of more than 200,000 people in the past ten years, the total force is still too weak."

"If Techna really brings an army into Silesia, it will definitely attract the Saxony and the Berlin Army. You know, our regular army has only eight armies, and the East Prussian Army is taking over me to attack the city of Roz.

”

"This is the Silesian Legion and the Northern Polish Legion. If the Berlin Legion and the Saxon Legion are also broken in Silesia, then there will be only three armies left in the entire empire"

"At present we have reached a peace agreement with the Austrians for the time being, but you know that the Habsburgs are extremely hostile to our Hohenzollerns, for fear that the Prussian Kingdom would destroy the Holy Roman Empire.

Being far more careful than Truchen"

"For Truchen, although they also had a crushing defeat, they were able to reach border peace through an agreement. Moreover, when the Truchen Empire attacked the Ottoman Empire last time, the Austrians lost 100,000 new troops, but in fact they had gained a little more.

Land”

"I understand what you mean. Once we are defeated here, the Austrians will definitely withdraw!"

"Yes, if they follow the principle of military optimism, they should send troops from Bohemia and Hungary at the same time. In that case, the northwest territory of the Truchens will be in chaos. Although they have four armies, they face our country at the same time.

,We, Austria is definitely not able to catch up with it”

"Then let's retreat north?"

"Yes, don't think about it. Silesia must have a army of Truchen. We will definitely face disadvantages when we go there. We pretend to retreat to Rhodes. According to my estimate, the Truchen people have always had a great appetite, so they must have hope.

To destroy our entire army in Poland”

"Then they would not fight us halfway, but would wait until we meet with the East Prussian Legion under the city of Rhodes to launch an annihilation battle. We slowly walked towards Rhodes, and when we approached Rhodes, then quickly turned to the northwest,

Go back to the local area”

"This will also preserve some sparks for our country"

"That East Prussian Legion?"

"When arriving near the city of Rhodes, I sent someone to notify Prince William of the East Prussian Legion and asked him to evacuate, otherwise his legion would not be able to be saved."

"Uncle, I understand, but it's not easy to retreat. The enemy's cavalry is much more than us. What if they find it and chase it overnight?"

"Well, so the key to this retreat is to follow the path from Czestochova to Roz. I guess when Qitad knows, he will follow him slowly with cavalry. When they approach Roz, they will relax.

Then we took advantage of the factors that we were familiar with geography and quickly retreated to the local area along the path”

"The Berlin Legion and Saxony Legion?"

"These two armies are directly affiliated with Your Majesty. If we can retreat smoothly, when we are far away from Rhodes, we will send a quick horse to Berlin to inform Your Majesty, and at the same time we will send people south to find the Saxon Army and tell them not to go to Xili.

West Asia”

"Uncle, then Silesia will become the territory of the Truchens!"

"It doesn't matter, I understand. What the Truchens care about is to support a powerful Poland between our country and Russia. His goal this time is obviously to assist Kazimiri to recover all Poland on both sides of the Vistula River.

Territory, it may even take away the East Prussian territory that belongs to our country”

"While Silesia is west of Poland, hanging out of its homeland, with Qitad's shrewdness, we would not want this land, but the prerequisite is that we, the East Prussian Legion, can all withdraw our homeland safely, and the Berlin Legion

, The Saxony Legion was not involved in the battle”

"Only with certain strength are qualified to negotiate, otherwise it is the fish on the chopping board, and Silesia will really be lost"

"Oh..." Pei Dinnan sighed.

Henry filled the fireplace with a piece of wood and said, "I have talked with His Majesty before that I want to fight against Truchen unless the entire German-speaking German region, including Austria, is unified and integrated within twenty years.

May limit them”

"At present, except for the Russians, everything else is just a test. France and Portugal are separated by Spain, and its navy was defeated by Britain not long ago. It was impossible to control the Truchens' maritime advantage when they had the advantage of the sea.

The army transported to Portugal, even if it can be transported, there will not be too many"

"Spain only lost nearly 100,000 new troops not long ago, and had no power to take the initiative to attack Portugal"

"So, Russia is the one who can really mobilize a large army. They can mobilize a million troops, it depends on their battle situation"

"You mean if the Russians make progress, we will re-enter the war?"

"This is my personal idea, and I don't know what Your Majesty thinks. If you don't say so much, hurry up and arrange the retreat. Pay attention, we put the preservation personnel first, and all the heavy weapons are left here. Trou

The artillery of the zither is more advanced than ours, they will not want it”

In the middle of the night, Tiechina was suddenly woken up.

"What? The Prussians retreated, where did they retreat?"

"North, in the direction of Rhodes, the cavalry general is waiting for your instructions"

"Roz? Is it that I want to join his East Prussian Legion?"

"If we can wipe out its Silesian Legion, Northern Polish Legion, and East Prussian Legion under the city of Rhodes, then our war with Prussia will be over"

"Tell them not to fight, just follow them secretly"
