When the marshal of labor heard the bad news, his body on horseback shook violently, and he almost fell off his horse.
He looked at the guard and shouted: "This is impossible, an army of more than 100,000 pigs is enough for Prussia to kill for a few months, it will only be a long time, and this will be defeated" The guards did not answer Marshal Rautton's question, but presented Marshal Lasi's letter.
The letter reads: "Marshal Raudon I must tell you the unfortunate news that our army has suffered a defeat in Saxony, our army is no longer able to complete its task against Prussia, and I will lead the army to retreat.
I beg you to return to Prague with your army to hold on, and when reinforcements from Vienna arrive, I will go to Prague to join you.
Until then, be sure to hold off the Prussians" After reading the letter, Lao Dong's whole face turned into pig liver and tore the letter to shreds, looking at the Austrian army on the left and right, the labor marshal shouted unwillingly: Retreat.
Seeing the Austrians on the opposite side slowly retreating, Prince Henry laughed and said: "Tell the army, the whole army to advance slowly, and be sure to hold these Austrians in check.
So the whole battlefield became very strange, the Austrians retreated in a defensive formation, while the Prussians followed in the footsteps of the Austrians, and the two sides were silent and confronted each other without firing a single shot.
After three days of rest for the Saxony-Prussian army, Wilhelm and Dessau left the camp with an army of 40,000 men, aiming at Bohemia.
Prince Ferdinand, on the other hand, remained and had to guard the Austrian prisoners of war and send troops to keep an eye on Marshal Lassy.
Before leaving, William specially summoned Archduke Leopold, and looked at the guy in front of him who later became the Holy Roman Emperor, William said with emotion: "Your Excellency, I have admired you for a long time, you have the good character of the ancestors of the Habsburg family, although our army won this battle by luck, but I will not change my admiration for you" "Your Majesty, you are too polite, I lost this battle, this is an undeniable fact, I see the shadow of His Majesty Frederick in you, I believe that you will be a great king in the future" Leopold said with a wry smile "Your Excellency, you can tell Prince Ferdinand what you want here, and we will do our best to accommodate your request, but I would like to ask you to write a letter to Queen Teresa, and take me to pay my highest respect and greetings to Queen Teresa," William said gracefully "Your Majesty, I will, but I hope you will release our men when the ransom comes, and I think a great king will accede to these small requests," Leopold understood what William meant, and he opened his mouth to William "Of course, we are all civilized people, and these are the rules that civilized people should follow," William said unhurriedly Leopold got the answer he wanted and took his leave to William.
William looked at Leopold who walked out of the tent, he shook his head and said to himself: "William, if you want to not be as aggrieved as him in the future, you have to work harder and be diligent" William led an army of 40,000 to Bohemia, and looked at the soldiers with their heads up, William was very happy.
And the soldiers, seeing the king who brought them victory, shouted long live His Majesty.
Looking at the Prussians who were following his pace closely, Marshal Lauton had a headache and there was no good way to get rid of these kraft-like enemies.
Raudon knew that he could not go on like this, and even if the whole army withdrew safely to Prague, a large area of land north of Prague would be easily pocketed by Prussia.
On this day, Raudon's army stopped at a small town called Pippo a hundred kilometers north of Prague, with the Labem River to the east and a flat area to the west.
Raudon decided to rely on the town to fend off the Prussian army, but what Laudon did not know was that Wilhelm was leading a victorious army of 40,000 to pounce on him.
In mid-October, the Field Marshal of Labor led the Austrian Bohemian Army to a halt in the retreat at the town of Pipo, and the Prussians were only thirty kilometers away.
Prince Henry, on horseback, asked his guard: "How far is Your Majesty's army from here?"
The guard replied: "When we contacted us two hours ago, Your Majesty was a day and a half away from us, and Your Majesty had this letter delivered to you," he said, handing a letter to Henry "Prince Henry, I will lead the army around behind the Austrians, please be sure to hold back the enemy in front of you, so that the Austrians do not discover our intentions, if this battle is won, our army will gain a comprehensive advantage in the entire battlefield" Prince Henry tore it up after reading it, and he laughed: "Your Majesty's appetite is not small, the Austrians on the other side are going to suffer" William and his army had been on the road as fast as they had entered Bohemia, and the scouts of the army had been sent out to scout the path of the army.
If the scouts spot a suspicious person, they immediately arrest them and wait for the army to pass before releasing them.
In this way, even if Austrian spies discovered the Prussian army, it was unlikely that they would have informed Laudon of the news.
If it weren't for Lassi's cleverness, he would have retreated early, and he wouldn't have been able to withdraw his troops even if he wanted to.
A good opportunity slipped away from William, and William also held back some fire.
How could it be possible to let Laodong run away again this time, William was determined to defeat Laodong's Bohemian legion.
The two-to-one superior force can't win again, is it worthy of the glorious title of traverser?
The next day, looking at the Prussian army that appeared in front of him, Lao Dong smiled slightly, and he said to himself: "The defeat of Saxony is Lassy's incompetence, Henry, we are all old rivals, you don't think that you can defeat me with 40,000 people, you underestimate me" The Prussian army marched forward in a diagonal formation to the sound of the drummers in each procession, and some of the veterans whistled to the sound of the music before they could see the Austrians.
The armies of the two sides were getting closer and closer, and the eyebrows of the enemy soldiers on the opposite side were clearly visible, and the officers of the two ** teams of the Prussia and Austria shouted one after another: "Stand, load, aim、、、、 fire" With the officer's order, a thick fog rose on the arrays of both sides, and the sound of musket fire came and went, and the artillery units of both sides also opened fire one after another.
The neatly arranged troops on both sides became scattered under the blows of artillery fire, but the soldiers seemed to be unable to see the casualties of their comrades, the first platoon fell, and the second platoon quickly made up, and they reloaded their ammunition in an orderly manner under the command of the officer, and then aimed and fired.
