Over the next few days, the Austrians felt as if the Prussians in front of them had changed as if they had changed their minds, and their opponents had become more tenacious, often getting up and continuing to fight the Austrians after being shot, which clouded the hearts of all the Austrians Field Marshal Lassi felt that he could not go on like this, and that he had to mobilize all the Austrian troops, and he held a meeting in his marching tent, and he looked at the Austrian officers in front of him and said: "How did you fight, the battle losses in the past few days are more than the sum of the previous period, and what is even more unforgivable is that you have not made even a little progress, don't you want to be an officer?"
Without waiting for the officers to refute, the commander of the Bavarian army, Itans, preemptively said: "Your Excellency, I hope to be able to withdraw my army and rest for a while, my army has suffered very heavy losses in the battle during this time, and if it continues like this, my army will be gone."
In fact, it's no wonder that Elector Charlie has only been in power for a year, and the army he can control plus the 30,000 people under Itansi's command is only more than 40,000 people in total.
Having now lost nearly 5,000 men in the war, Charles would have had no power to deter the opposition in Bavaria if he had lost too much strength on the battlefield.
You must know that Elector Carl Theodor has a lot of opinions about Charlie snatching Bavaria that originally belonged to him, and he doesn't care about ousting Charlie from power when Charlie is weak.
"Your Excellency, Lord Count Itans, you must know that it is not only you Bavarians who have suffered heavy losses, but all the armies have suffered very heavy losses.
At this time, it is time for us to compete with the enemy for perseverance.
Everybody has to hold on, you know," Marshal Lassi said, scanning his gaze around the generals in the tent before finally looking at Itansi "But your Excellency, I think the situation in our country, you should be clear, my brother has only so many troops, and I cannot help Austria and have my family thrown out of power in Bavaria," Itans retorted "Well, Itansi, rest assured, Austria will not sit idly by and let its allies suffer from their own vitality, as long as you can hold on, I will explain the situation to Her Majesty after this war is over, and I am sure that Her Majesty will not sit idly by when the time comes" Marshal Lassi said patiently, and then Lassi said to the generals: "In two days another reinforcement from Vienna will arrive, and we will be even stronger, so all of you here must do your best to defeat the Prussians in front of you."
But before he could hear Marshal Lassy's words, Etans suddenly stood up and walked out of the tent.
Seeing this, the Austrian generals cast disdainful glances at Itansi's back, while Lassi looked at Itansi's back with a face.
After returning to the barracks of the Bavarian army, Itans summoned the Bavarian generals and said: In the next battle, we must take the preservation of strength as the first goal, and everyone must be cautious and cautious, you know, the Bavarian generals answered yes.
In the days that followed, Wilhelm found the Bavarian army weak and acting as if they were acting.
Wilhelm decisively transferred the army against the Bavarians, focusing most of his forces on the Austrians.
Looking at the battlefield in front of him, Marshal Lassi only felt a breath of blood in his heart, to see what kind of battle those Bavarians were fighting, was that a burlesque.
The Bavarian troops first shouted loudly from their positions, then sent a battalion to charge the Prussians, and when the Prussians opened fire, they turned around and returned to their positions.
Lassi sent a herald to reprimand Itans: The Bavarian army must intensify its attacks on the enemy in front of them, and the whole army must do its best to destroy the Prussian army, otherwise Lassi will remove Itans from his post as commander of the Bavarian army.
Itanth disdained to say to the herald: "Please tell Marshal Lassi that my army can no longer bear the losses of the war, and that we must retreat to the rear as soon as possible to recuperate, and that Marshal Lassi must grant my request."
The herald told Lassi what Itans had said, and Lassi felt that the sky was dark, what were the Bavarians going to do, and they were going to ignore the overall situation.
After listening to the herald's report, Lassi decisively rushed to the Bavarian barracks with his personal guards, and when he saw Itansi, he was scolded.
Finally Lassi said to Itansi: "As long as you work harder, the Prussians can't stop it, I can promise you personally, as long as there are reinforcements coming later, I will allow you to retreat and rest, please be sure to hold on for a few more days, as long as you hold on, you will get a reward that you dare not imagine" But Itans turned a deaf ear to Lassy's words, and he ostensibly agreed, but in the middle of the battle, he was still perfunctory.
As the saying goes, the power of example is endless.
After seeing the Bavarians reduce their losses due to their negative attitude, many of the Austrians began to conserve their strength in the same way.
You must know that in the current Austrian army, except for the original standing soldiers, a large part of them are conscripted nobles' private soldiers and some peasants, and no one wants to die on the battlefield like this, so this part of the army has also begun to perfunctory offensive tasks assigned by superiors.
Looking at the erosive situation of the war, Marshal Lassi stood for a long time, and he knew that the current situation must be changed, otherwise perhaps the Austrian army itself would collapse first if the Prussians did not come to fight.
Lassi returned to the Bavarian barracks, where he ordered the dismissal of the commander of the Itans army and the appointment of his own staff officer as the Bavarian commander.
But what Lassi didn't expect was that Itans was furious when he heard that he had been dismissed, and tied up Lassy's staff officer that night and withdrew with all the Bavarian troops.
By the time Lassi received the news, it was already the morning of the next day, and Lassi stood on the spot and jumped to his feet and yelled at Itansi bastard.
Wilhelm also discovered the movement of the Bavarian army, and when the scout reported to him that the Bavarian position was no longer defended, Wilhelm knew that the opportunity had come, and Wilhelm decisively ordered Dessau to capture the enemy position with a cavalry, and then a part of the Prussian army launched an attack on the Austrian army along the Bavarian army's position, which took the Austrians by surprise.
Lassi stood on a high vantage point and looked at the intricate situation in front of him, only to feel that he was no longer able to do anything.
Lassi is fifty-four years old, but she looks like a seventy-year-old man, with gray hair, puffy white eyes, and wrinkles.
The whole of Austria was hoping for the veteran to be as heroic as Hokčeh had been, but Lassi knew he was no longer the high-spirited person he had been.
But Lassi did not admit defeat, what a nine-year-old child can do, can't he, a veteran who has been fighting horses for half his life, do.
Lassi ordered the reserves to seize the original Bavarian positions with all their might, and then ordered all the front-line units to attack the Prussian enemy in front of them with maximum force, and all officers who failed to perform well on the battlefield were dismissed on the spot, and the fleeing soldiers supervised the battle team on the spot without questioning.
At the command of Field Marshal Lassy, the Prussian army came under great pressure, Wilhelm had to withdraw the army, and the battlefield again maintained a delicate balance.
In this raid, the Austrians lost thirteen thousand men, while the Prussians lost only a fraction of their three thousand.
