Although Blucher did not provide much food, only six wagons filled it, but the food of these six wagons was a great relief to the resistance groups in Krakow.
People have to eat, and the members of the resistance are naturally not superhuman, but now the Austrians have very strict control over food in Krakow, and even if they have money, they don't want to buy a lot of food.
Under the Austrians' grain offensive, many of the Resistance had to find other ways, after all, the body was the capital of the revolution, and when the Resistance could not produce food, the detachment of a considerable number of members became expected.
The grain was quickly divided as soon as it arrived in Krakow, and some of it was given to some of the officers for purchase.
Less than a week after the Prussian army's food was brought into Krakow, there was an outbreak of plague in Krakow, and the plague came so violently that even before the Austrian governor could react, there were cases in his governor's palace.
At first, the plague only appeared among the lower classes of Krakow, but after all, there were more than 100,000 refugees in the city, and dozens of people starved to death every day, and the Austrians had the leisure to care whether these refugees were sick or not.
This, combined with the fact that some of the skilled doctors in Krakow were brought to the Austrian barracks, resulted in patients not being able to find a doctor even if they wanted to, and as a result, no one knew that the patients were infected with the plague.
It was not until several Austrian soldiers became infected that the situation was urgently reported to the governor.
But at the moment the situation is out of control.
On July 13 alone, there were more than 50 new cases of plague in the Austrian barracks, which were in the Polish barracks.
The number even reached more than 300 cases.
Originally, the large-scale outbreak of the plague needed a buffer of time, and even if the Prussians specially prepared the food, if there was no introduction, I am afraid that the plague would not break out for a while.
But the bad is in the food, and those who don't have enough to eat can talk about immunity.
With the exception of the Austrian soldiers, even the young Polish men who were drafted in the country were simply not starved to death every day, and it was impossible to get enough to eat.
The Austrians are not so generous.
If you don't have enough to eat, the body's immune performance will decline, and the time has entered July.
The temperature has risen, and the mosquitoes have come out to move, and these factors have come together to make Krakow the fairy like a great enemy.
The Prussian army has stopped attacking Krakow since the outbreak of the plague in the barracks.
And after Blucher took the lead and gave those carts of grain to the Poles.
The Prussian army became busy.
Blucher knew that the people in Krakow were dead, and the only thing left now was a matter of whether they would die sooner or later.
And in order not to let the situation inside Krakow spread.
Blucher mobilized all his soldiers and prisoners of war captured in the battles.
Divided into two groups, Blucher began to dig a long ditch around the city of Krakow, which was to be at least five meters wide and three meters deep, and to this end, when the prisoners of war under his command were insufficient, Blucher also sent soldiers to recruit some Polish soldiers to the distant city.
At first, the Austrians celebrated, thinking that the Prussians were ready to retreat when they could not take Krakow.
And those ditches were the fortifications that the Prussians were preparing to hinder their pursuit.
But as time passed, all the Austrians sensed that something was wrong.
It is clear that the Prussians are not only not prepared to retreat, but also seem to be preparing to dig a ditch around Krakow, thus completely cutting off Krakow from the outside world.
The Austrian governor panicked, and he sent his army to launch a tentative attack on the Prussian army, but it was clear that the Prussian army had been prepared for it.
Those conscripted Polish young men may be able to cause some trouble for the Prussian army when defending the city, but in the field, these young men are completely adding to the achievements of the Prussian soldiers.
You must know that the effective range of the rifle used by the Prussian army is about 200 meters, and it takes about 30 seconds for even a strong young man to run a distance of 200 meters.
Nearly half of the Friedrich 1790 rifles used in the Prussian army can complete a aiming and firing in ten seconds, not to mention that the Prussian army also has the help of artillery.
In addition, the Poles are probably still a long way from being strong, at least at the moment, the Poles who were sent to death by the Austrians are absolutely not so-called strong.
After many defeats, the Polish governor finally resigned to his fate, but he was not discouraged, for the city had enough food in his opinion.
Even if the Austrians couldn't rush out, the Prussians couldn't get in.
With the food in the city, the governor had the confidence to hold on for three months or more.
While digging a ditch, the Prussians sprinkled some debris into it, poured some oil on it and lit it.
At first, the Austrians did not know what the Prussians were trying to do, but after the outbreak of the plague, the Austrians suddenly understood, but by this time it was a little late.
More than 100,000 refugees have gathered in Krakow, and the whole city has become a huge garbage dump except for the middle and a few government offices and high-ranking places.
Even after the discovery of the plague in the city, the situation did not change.
Every day, people die in Krakow because of the plague, a number that used to be in the single digits a few days ago but is now approaching three digits.
There was no shortage of food and weapons in the city, but medicine was clearly insufficient, and in such a situation, the Austrian high-level who knew the situation was on the verge of despair.
At this time, the governor of Austrian Poland also had to soften his attitude, and he tentatively appointed Fernando as an envoy to Krakow to go out of the city to contact the Prussian army, but Fernando was surrounded by dozens of Prussian soldiers before he could reach the ditch dug by the Prussian army.
After Fernando had stated his purpose, a Prussian officer shook his head and told him that General Blucher had given an order that he would not accept any negotiations from inside Krakow, and that even if the Austrians in the city wanted to surrender, the general would not agree.
The officer's words made Fernando's heart suddenly cool in half.

Now there is no medicine in Krakow, and if this continues, hundreds of thousands of people in Krakow will die, and even the Austrians will not be one step behind the Poles in the face of death, and even the fairest thing in the world is death, because whether you are rich or poor, you will not escape the fate of corruption after death.
And the only one who can provide assistance to Krakow at the moment is the Prussian army, if the Prussian army gives up helping Krakow, then everyone in the city can only wait for death!
"General, general, please take me to meet the commander of your family, I really have an emergency, you!
..........”
Thinking about the possible consequences in the future, Fernando suddenly shuddered, and after thinking about it, he immediately threw away all his face and actually called the officer in front of him, who was obviously only at the level of captain, a general.
But the result was not changed by a flattering word from Fernando, and even after he finished speaking, the Prussian army gave him two options to either return to the city or be killed, and as for wanting to cross this ditch, he didn't even have to think about it, because Blucher had already issued a ban, except for the Prussians, everyone else was forbidden to cross this ditch, and those who violated the order were killed!
Fernando returned to Krakow like a walking corpse, muttering as he went: "It's over, it's completely over" When the Doge learned of the attitude of the Prussians from Fernando, the Governor's face changed, and then the Doge had completely gritted his teeth "Damn the Prussians, they are all demons, the plague in the city is definitely deliberate, otherwise how could the Prussians spend so much energy digging that ditch!
It is truly a beast that exterminates human nature!
” The governor scolded the Prussians, but Fernando was very calm at the moment, compared to His Excellency the Governor in front of him, the previous image of the governor who compared refugees and food to the bait relationship, hehe, what a ridiculous thing!
After the ditch was dug up, there were almost no cases of plague among the Prussian army, and some of those who fell ill recovered their health.
This news made Blucher breathe a rare sigh of relief, since the emergence of the plague, he has been worried day and night, but now with the disappearance of the plague, Blucher's mood is naturally a lot better.
But compared to the Prussian army in the city, the Austrians in the city seemed to be in hell.
A few small quantities of medicine were a drop in the bucket for the city's large group of patients, and after a few days it became so that even the Austrian soldiers had no access to the medicine, and all they got was the dregs of medicine.
As for the Poles, not to mention, what else could they do but wait for death.
As the plague spread, the Austrians seemed to have given up, and the gates of Krakow were pulled open from the inside, leaving Krakow, which the Prussians had so desperately wanted to enter, like a pile of stinking shit.
