Chapter 51: Itanth


After Christmas, the Austrian army did not move at all, and shrank quietly in the barracks.

William knew that the Austrians were waiting for the French, and if the French could penetrate Prussia from the Luxembourg area, then William would have to defend himself, and then the Austrians would be able to win without a fight.

But Lassi was thinking about one thing, and Wilhelm also wished that Austria would slow down the attack and give him enough time to adjust the deployment of his army.

Empress Catherine II of Russia received the envoy sent by William, and when she learned of William's conditions, she thought for a while and agreed.

On the one hand, if Prussia loses this battle, Austria will not only be able to defeat its old enemy, but also take advantage of the great victory over Prussia and the entire Holy Roman Empire.

And a Prussian victory would not hurt Russia, even if Prussia defeated Austria, he would have to fight against the remnants of the Habsburgs within the Holy Roman Empire and thus be unable to effectively unify the Holy Roman Empire, and then it would be Russia's chance.

Catherine II changed her mind about the situation and urgently ordered Suvorov at the front to actively cooperate with the Prussians, and at the same time secretly ordered Suvorov to attack Vienna first if conditions permitted.

You must know that both Russia and the Holy Roman Empire claim to be the continuation of the Roman Empire, and once Vienna is conquered, then there will be only one Roman Empire in the whole of Europe, and that is Russia.

Having received orders from the empress, Suvorov noticeably quickened the pace of his march, and the Russians soon captured Brno in the Moravian region.

The situation on the entire Eastern Front was again unfavorable to Austria, and Prague and Brno formed a flanking situation against the České Budjevice area occupied by Austrian troops.

Once Austria loses České Budjevice, then the Prussian and Russian armies can reach the city of Vienna, and Austria will have no danger to defend.

Queen Theresa urgently ordered Marshal Lassi to either defeat the Prussian army in front of her, or transfer part of the army to support Czech Budjevice, and at the same time, Queen Teresa protested to the Elector of Bavaria, Charles, that the Bavarian army should follow Marshal Lassi's orders instead of withdrawing to the common good.

Charles was helpless after receiving the protest of Queen Theresa, although he did not want to spend his army on the battlefield, but now Bavaria and Austria had common interests, and Prussia would not forget those who betrayed him.

Charles immediately sent an order to Itans, ordering the Bavarian army led by Itans to unconditionally obey the orders of Field Marshal Lassy.

After considering the whole situation of the war, Marshal Lasi decided to send 70,000 troops to support České Budějvice, and after the return of the Bavarian army, the total Austrian army on the Western Front would be 120,000.

After seeing the Bavarian flag appear again on the Austrian positions opposite, Wilhelm smiled and smiled happily.

William said to Prince Henry: "What's the use of the Bavarians coming back, their momentary retreat has cost Austria more than 10,000 men, and now I'm afraid those Austrian generals hate the Bavarians more than we do.

In this way, two armies that cannot trust each other can barely fight together, which can only have a negative effect on the situation of the war."

After listening to William's words, Prince Henry smiled and said yes.

As Wilhelm said, the Bavarians did not receive a welcome from the Austrians when they returned to the front, especially the Austrian officers who had suffered losses after the hasty withdrawal of the Bavarian army.

Lassi looked at the generals in the tent who seemed to be incompatible, and felt that his scalp twitched for a while, and he opened his mouth and said to Itansi: "Count Itans, we both have common interests, I hope you can avoid the situation of last time, you should understand how much damage your retreat caused to our army last time, now I ask you to take your army to hold your position" Of course, Itansi was a thousand unwilling in his heart, but there was no way, Charlie had already given him a death order, and he had to obey Marshal Lassy's instructions.

Time came to the whole battle situation, showing a strange posture, both sides did not attack rashly, but coincidentally strengthened their own positions.

The first to break this situation was on the Eastern Front, where the total strength of the entire Russian Expeditionary Corps had reached 110,000 after the reinforcements of Suvorov and Rumyantsev had completed their rendezvous in Brno.

When Suvorov learned that České Buděwice had only 30,000 or 40,000 defenders, he immediately wrote a letter to Prince Henry in Prague, in which he asked the Prussians to cooperate with his military campaign to conquer České Budějevice.

The letter from the Russians was written very politely, and Prince Henry wanted to slap Suvorov twice in the face after reading the letter, but he still needed the help of the Russian ** team at the moment.

Henry held back his anger and marched out of Prague with 20,000 men to České Bōdějevice, and he also urgently reported the situation to Wilhelm.

After seeing that there was no sign of a large-scale attack on Lassi on the opposite side, Wilhelm guessed that the Austrians on the opposite side should have already sent a part of the eastward to support České Budjevice, but the front line of the Prussian army was only 90,000 men and did not have the strength to quickly defeat the enemy on the opposite side.

After thinking about it for a long time, William decided to use a divisive strategy, and he sent a dead man to meet Itansi, and also brought Itans a letter written by William: "My dear friend, we have a long-standing friendship between Prussia and Bavaria, and although we now meet each other on the battlefield, I know that this is not your intention.

As long as you are lost, I will forgive you with leniency.

Itans, my friend, you did a good job last time, do you remember the conditions I promised you last year, and now as long as you lead the Bavarian army to retreat again, then I will make the conditions I promised you a reality" That night, William's dead man appeared in Etanth's tent.

When he read the second half of the letter, Itansi was confused as to when he had crossed paths with the King of Prussia last year.

And the dead man, dressed in a black robe, whispered to himself as if to himself: "Your Majesty feels that Elector Charles does not possess the qualities necessary of a ruler, so Your Majesty feels that the master of Bavaria should be replaced by a different person" Hearing the whispered words of the black-robed man, Itans began to abuse his hair, and before Itans could snatch the hair from his head, he saw that the tent was suddenly broken in, and when Itans looked up, he saw Marshal Lassy's angry face.

Originally, it was Marshal Lassy's habit to write r in his tent, and every day after the battle, he would write a rì note to record it.

But today he received a report from his officers that he had spotted a Prussian sneaking into the Bavarian barracks, and Lassi hurried to hear the news.

Sure enough, as soon as Lassi broke into Itansi's tent, he saw a guy in a black robe sitting with Itansi, who was holding a letter in his hand.

Marshal Lassi grabbed the letter without the consent of Itansi, and before Itans organized, Lassi read it, and the more Lassi read it, the more angry he became, and when he read it, he said angrily: "Someone, arrest Itansi for me" When Itansi heard this, he immediately stood up and said angrily: "Lassy, what do you mean, run into my tent and grab me, who do you think you are" Lassi held back her anger, gritted her teeth and said: "Well, Itans, I said that last time you retreated in a hurry, it turned out that you were in collusion with the Prussians, and I will pass on this letter to Elector Charles, but now I will arrest you" Itanth was even angrier, and he shouted: "Come on, guards, arrest all these people for me, Lassi Lao Tzu has long been unpleasant to see you, a famous general of bullshit, after so many defeats, I am embarrassed to say that I am a famous general, if you had thrown yourself into the river and died" As soon as the Bavarian guards outside the tent heard the roar of Itansi, they quickly surrounded Marshal Lassi and his entourage, and Marshal Lassi lowered his face and said: "Looks like you're really going to turn your face."

"Turn your face, turn your face, do you think Lao Tzu is afraid of you," Itansi said arrogantly Lassi glanced at the attendants on the side, and the attendants immediately took out a whistle from his bosom and blew it hurriedly.

As soon as the whistle was blown, shouts and the sound of horses' hooves beating on the earth could be heard from outside the Bavarian barracks.

Then Lassi said to Itansi: "Order your guards to lay down their arms, your large battalion is already surrounded by the army of the nest" But Itans laughed unhurriedly, and replied: "You are in my hands, do those people dare to attack rashly?"

In fact, at the beginning, Itansi didn't want to take down Lassy, but Lassi insisted on arresting him regardless of black and white, and Itansi didn't realize that if he fell into Lassy's hands, there would be any good results.

What's more, Lassi also found the letter, and normal people would wonder if Itansi was really in collusion with the Prussians because of that letter, otherwise it would be impossible to say.

Although Itanth knew that this was a discord, he had to act decisively in the face of the current unfavorable situation, and he was not a good man who was arranged by heaven.

Itansi understood that as soon as he seized Lassy, the purpose of the Prussians' letter would be achieved.

But now the situation is cheap, and the Prussians are cheaper, Itans thought Thinking of this, Etans decisively ordered the army to seize Lassy, and at the same time told the Austrian troops outside the barracks to let them throw the rat trap.

Wilhelm himself did not sleep after sending the letter, and at the same time ordered all the Prussian troops to be put into combat readiness, and he wanted to see if the Bavarian barracks would put on a good show, and he waited for a long time until the second half of the night, when the good show finally happened.

Wilhelm saw the sky illuminated by the torches of the Bavarian barracks in the distance, as well as the rapid drumming of the army on the march and the whistle of the emergency assembly.

Wilhelm immediately ordered the whole army to attack, taking advantage of the Austrian army's failure to react, to break through the enemy positions on the opposite side, and at the same time sent cavalry to attack the Bavarian battalion.

The Austrian army, which had been encircling, did not dare to act rashly after seeing Field Marshal Lassi being captured by the Bavarians, and the two armies confronted each other at the gate of the Bavarian barracks, until the sound of horses' hooves was heard in the rear, and the dying cries of some soldiers: The Prussians are coming.

All the Austrian and Bavarian troops were alarmed, and Itans stood up and proclaimed to all the Bavarian troops: "Brethren, lately the damned Austrians have been looking at us unpleasantly and against us at every turn.

Why should we be cannon fodder for those Austrians, and now I have decided that we should give those Austrians something awesome."
