Although Henry and Ferdinand did not agree on the next course of military action, this did not hinder their friendship, and after two days of arguing, a compromise was reached, with Ferdinand marching on Königsberg with 12,000 men, while Henry would lead 8,000 men to search for the Cossack cavalry.
On the second day of the agreement, Ferdinand marched towards Königsberg with 12,000 men, and the army was filled with joy, many soldiers thought that Königsberg had no strength to stop them now that the main rebel force had been annihilated, and perhaps when the royal counterinsurgency army appeared under Königsberg, countless enemies would take the initiative to open the city and surrender, so they were just conducting an armed march.
Unfortunately, these optimistic soldiers did not anticipate the great variables of the war, and when Ferdinand arrived on the outskirts of Königsberg with his army, they were greeted by a dense network of fortifications outside Königsberg, which may have been a trench or an earthen wall, but which caused no small trouble to the counterinsurgency.
When he saw that the rebels were fighting fiercely against the rebels at every fortification, Ferdinand knew that the battle of Königsberg was not as easy as he had imagined.
Of course, Ferdinand would not give up the attack on Königsberg because of this, and the fierce resistance of the rebels was considered by Ferdinand to be a mad act before his death, and Ferdinand poked his nose at this, and he informed the whole army of the current situation of the rebels, and all the soldiers knew that the rebels did not have much strength left, and they were now just doing a death throes.
Encouraged by Ferdinand, the rebels launched more fierce attacks on the rebel lines, but surprisingly the rebels persisted, and in some areas even fought with the rebels over some of the more strategically important fortifications.
Kleiman on the walls of Königsberg was also very excited to see the rebel soldiers fighting so bravely, of course, the main reason why the rebels fought so stubbornly was that Kleiman had said that Russian reinforcements would not arrive, which added confidence to all the rebels.
Henry hurried southwest with an army of 8,000 men, for he received information that nearly 3,000 Cossack cavalry had occupied the southern town of Bialystok, and that after the capture of the city, the Cossacks were said to have slaughtered the city.
This news made Henry furious, as a member of the Hohenzollern family, he had an unshirkable duty to protect the country that his ancestors fought bloodily, how could Henry tolerate those barbaric Cossacks doing things on the territory of the Hohenzollern family After getting the exact information of the Cossack cavalry, Henry immediately set off with the army.
But what Henry didn't expect was that shortly after he set out for Bialystok, he received a piece of information that had been urgently sent by Prussian spies in ambush in the Kingdom of Poland through some secret channels.
Because Henry was the second military commander of the Kingdom of Prussia after William, at special moments, intelligence officers would transmit relevant information directly to Henry, and now is of course a special moment.
In the intelligence, the spies informed Henry of a very unfavorable news, not long ago, the Russian army in Poland began a large-scale transfer, the number should be about 5,000 people, the current army has left their station, and according to the intelligence officers all the way to speculate, these Russian troops are likely to march to East Prussia.
Glancing at the information sent by R and silently calculating the distance in his heart, Henry was stunned to find that if the Russian army was really marching to East Prussia as the intelligence said, then it was not very far from Königsberg now, and Ferdinand was attacking Königsberg at this time, although Henry did not know how the battle was going on on Ferdinand's side, but the sudden appearance of an army of about 5,000 people on the battlefield would definitely greatly affect the situation of the war.
Therefore, after gritting his teeth and pondering for a while, Henry slammed his horsewhip into the void, and then ordered the whole army to turn and immediately speed up to Königsberg, and we will not go to Bialystok.
Of course, since it was already known that there were nearly 3,000 Cossacks staying in Bialystok, how could Henry not be on guard, and Henry left 3,000 men to guard La Roblin, not far from Bialystok, which was just right to be stuck on the road of the Cossack cavalry marching to Königsberg.
Of course, Henry's actions did not hide from Pryvsky in Bialystok, and after a few days of revelry among the Cossacks, Pliveski had to think about his next move, when the Cossack sentry informed him of the discovery of the Prussian army in the northeast.
Just as Pliveski was about to take his men out to have a good talk with the Prussians, Pliveski received news that the Prussian troops had withdrawn.
If the Prussians came up directly to attack, with the speed of the Cossack cavalry, Plevsky was convinced that even if he couldn't beat it, he would be able to run away with a part of the cavalry, but now that the Prussians have withdrawn, it means that something big must have happened on the Prussian side.
But what big thing can there be at the moment, Morakot is dead, just because that Kleiman can't turn over much of the storm, at most delay the Prussians so that they can enjoy a while longer, although Pliveski has not seen Kleiman, but for the name of that gentleman, Plivesky can be said to have admired for a long time.
So what else can make the Prussians urgently withdraw their troops, is it a decoy, but this is not like ah, as long as there is no cavalry unit that can catch up with the Cossacks, any bait is in vain, Plivesky, who has always believed that the Cossack cavalry is invincible, thought so proudly, well, Plivesky, who was thinking about it, decided not to care about the strange whereabouts of this Prussian army, and he set his sights on several towns near Bialystok.
Looking at the onslaught on the rebel lines, which had not yet fully broken through for several days, Ferdinand's eyes were filled with something called anger.
"Look at the good things you have done, so many troops have not broken through the defense line of a few rebels in turn, how did you lead the soldiers, if you can't do it for me, get out of here" Looking at the several front-line army leading officers in front of him, Ferdinand jumped to his feet and reprimanded loudly.
"Your Royal Highness, our army has done its best, but the resistance of the rebels is too stubborn, and the attacking soldiers have already paid a lot of casualties, and it will not be worth the loss if it continues like this," one officer boldly retorted.
"Don't say any reason, I don't listen to the reason, the rebels are tenacious, are you just muddy, can't so many of you still beat the rebels who lost their dogs, I'll give you three more days, I will hear it clearly, it's three days, I'll only give three days, and there will be no progress by then, I'll peel off your skin" Hearing that someone dared to refute himself, Ferdinand in anger broke out, and seeing Ferdinand like an enraged lion, the officers had to retreat stupidly.
In fact, the soldiers of the counterinsurgency army are also very heroic, but the rebels who are trapped in the beast are even more desperate, and the rebels know that once the war is lost, the rebels themselves will never have a good time, and they will never be soft on the rebels, no matter which country the ruler is.
Encouraged by this idea, it was naturally better than the counterinsurgency, not to mention that the arms and baggage raised by Morakot and aided by Russia were stored in Königsberg, so the rebels who held Königsberg were not short of baggage, and even the rebels' supplies were more abundant than Ferdinand's army.
It was under these conditions that Ferdinand's army did not achieve results for a long time, and after a day's attack, the tired counterinsurgency soldiers returned to their camp to rest, but Ferdinand did not rest, he stared at the map in his tent, but there was nothing on the map to remind him of victory, and while Ferdinand frowned, Blücher placed a cup of black tea on Ferdinand's right hand.
Seeing Blucher's move, Ferdinand nodded lightly to him and then picked up the teacup, but before Ferdinand could bring the teacup to his mouth, a figure hurriedly approached the tent.
"Your Royal Highness, our sentinels have found a large army in the east, numbering five or six thousand, and this army is currently marching here, and I ask Your Highness the Prince to prepare early" Ferdinand was stunned when he heard the news, and as soon as he let go of his hand holding the teacup, the teacup fell to the ground and fell to pieces.
An army of five or six thousand men appeared in the east, and Ferdinand hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed the man, and asked loudly: "Are you sure you're coming from the East, not from the West" Seeing Ferdinand's actions, not only the people who were being held by him, but also Blucher were taken aback, and after questioning, the man again gave an answer from the east.
Ferdinand let go of his hand, and then ran to the edge of the map to make a gesture, and when he saw the man who was stunned, Blucher hurriedly signaled that he could go.
Then Blucher also came to the edge of the map, and after a while, Ferdinand returned to his chair and sat down without saying a word.
The army coming from the east will definitely not be a friendly army in this direction, because Henry's army is in the west, and the reinforcements sent by the kingdom will also come from the west, if it is not a friendly army, then it is an enemy army, and what kind of consequences will an enemy army of five or six thousand people will have at this moment, Blucher simply does not dare to think about it
