At present, William's main concern is the Bohemian theater, and with the 2nd Division being transferred to the Main theater, Dessau's men have only five divisions.
Despite the previous victory over Karl at Dessau, the Austrian army still had the advantage in the Bohemian theater.
At present, Prussia's army deployed at home has almost no formed army, except for the Royal Guard and the Fifth and Sixth Divisions.
The Fifth Division needs to be stationed in Denmark, although Denmark has been occupied by Prussia for two years, but two years is not enough time for Prussian rule in Denmark to take root in the hearts of the people, not to mention that the Danish royal family represented by Frederick VI still exists, because once the Fifth Division is transferred, the situation in Denmark may change greatly under the encouragement of people with intentions.
As for the Sixth Division still stationed in Saxony, the capture of the Elector of Saxony by Prussia some time ago caused the situation in Saxony to collapse to a certain extent, and the Sixth Division shouldered the heavy responsibility of stabilizing the entire situation in Saxony, so until the last moment, the Sixth Division must also be firmly rooted in Saxony to deter the young.
The Royal Guards don't seem to have any tasks, but in fact, the Royal Guards have the heaviest tasks.
The Royal Guard was not only responsible for defending the royal family, but also for the Greater Brandenburg region and Potsdam, which was a big lock in the heart of Prussia.
Although there were a certain number of militia and police officers in various parts of Prussia, only the presence of garrisons could make careerists unlucky, since the security of the homeland counted on the militia and police had no future.
And these days.
Most of the soldiers recruited by Prussia supplemented the various theaters of war, and it was hoped that the army would be reorganized.
It doesn't seem very realistic in a short period of time.
The expansion of the army is not just a matter of people, and the formation of a new division requires a lot of manpower and force, and at the same time, it is also a damage to the national strength to a certain extent, so William is not prepared to carry out a large-scale recruitment of young men before the war situation reaches a certain point, because in that case it can be said that the army is exhausted.
The only ones that could be transferred to the Bohemian battlefield at the moment, apart from the Royal Guard, were the 16th Division, which was rushing to Poland, and the 20th Division, which was rushing to the Main.
It is obviously unrealistic to requisition the 16th Division to return to Bohemia, you must know that the 16th Division has been set off for a while, even if it does not arrive in Poland now, it is estimated that it will be soon, if the 16th Division is requisitioned at this moment, I am afraid that the daylily will be cold after they rush back.
Therefore, the only most likely to be counted on now is the Twentieth Division.
Although the Twentieth Division and the Tenth Division together began to be reorganized.
However, because the Military Department focused on issues at the beginning of the reorganization, the 20th Division has only just completed its initial reorganization.
And because the 1st Division was in urgent need of reinforcements a few days ago, the 2nd Division, which was originally planned to be transferred to the Bohemian Theater, was assigned to the Main Theater, so that the Bohemian Theater was equivalent to a lack of strong support, after all, the 2nd Division was an old elite division of Prussia.
In this way, whether it is for the sake of balance or the needs of the battlefield, it is a bit too much to put the 20th Division in the Main theater.
After all, now that there were five divisions in the Main theater and 10,000 Hanoverian troops who were about to arrive, William believed that Dafilia would be able to lead his army to the next victory.
Therefore, good steel should be used on the blade, and since this is the case, then it is logical that the 20th Division will be transferred to the Bohemian theater of operations.
William immediately sent an order to the Military Department, and after a rehearsal by the General Staff, William's order was carried out.
The Twentieth Division officially received an order from the Military Department to go to the Bohemian theater of operations.
The reason why a rehearsal of the General Staff was needed after William's order was due to William's order.
In William's opinion, sometimes the monarch's idea of the battle situation is likely to be not quite in line with the actual situation on the battlefield, and blindly asking his subordinates to obey his orders is completely foolish.
Therefore, William gave an order to the General Staff, and in the future, any changes in William's military deployment will be rehearsed by the General Staff first, and then handed over to the Military Department to issue orders when the plan is feasible.
And in order to prevent delays, William set a time for the staff to be within one day.
At the same time, this day will also be written into the regulations of the Military Department and the General Staff.
From now on, forever. ........................
It must be said that the Duke of Tuha is worthy of the number of famous Austrian generals after Daun and Field Marshal Laudon, and after Tuha gathered his army to attack the Prussian army, Dessau clearly felt that his pressure had increased in vain.
In order to minimize its own casualties, Dessau gave up some of the areas it had previously won, but some of the strategically important points were still firmly held by Dessau.
After reunifying the army, Tuha's first target was Bratna, which was once again occupied by the Prussian army, and this time Dessau took a very different approach, which was-for-tat.
The reason why Tuha set his goal at Bratner, everyone knows what it was for, after all, Karl's defeat had a great impact on the morale of the Austrian army in Bohemia, in other words, Bratner has become a thorn in the heart of the Austrian army, if this thorn is not removed, although the Austrian army has an advantage over the Prussian army in terms of strength, it is still slightly inferior to the Prussian army in morale.
Dessau's idea was the same as that of Tuha, and the victory over Karl's troops had boosted the morale of the Prussian army, but if Bratna had been lost after the arrival of Tuha's reinforcements, it would have been a great blow to the Prussian soldiers in every way.
Dessau therefore placed the entire 4th and 9th Divisions on the Bratna line, while the 19th Division was placed next to the line of the 7th Division, so as to effectively replenish the Prussian army on the entire Bohemian front.
Dessau personally sat in the city of Bratna and encouraged the soldiers of the two divisions many times, this attitude not only gave the 4th and 9th divisions a feeling of death for their confidants, but also inspired the Prussian army on the entire front to a large extent, after all, Dessau, as the commander of the Prussian army, can put himself in the place of life and death, and what is there to be selfish for others.
Leohard and Nichlau persuaded Dessau many times, but Dessau did not take the persuasion of the two to heart.
You must know that in order to conquer the city of Bratna, the Duke of Tuha gathered a full 50,000 soldiers, which is more than double the number of Bratna's Prussian army.
However, sometimes a large number of people does not necessarily lead to success, not to mention that the soldiers of the Fourth and Ninth Divisions are not those newly formed divisions, and most of the two veteran divisions are veterans who have seen bloody battles, and the value of veterans is far from being estimated.
The gap between recruits and veterans is quite large, and a veteran can even reach two or three recruits on the battlefield, which is not boastful at all.
Of course, you can't compare the bloodless self-proclaimed elite soldiers of a certain country in the future, and that comparison will obviously lower everyone's IQ.
Especially the current way of fighting is still the "queue shooting" type, this way of the soldier's psychological quality and physical fitness requirements are very high, imagine if you are placed on the front line and you are opposite the enemy who is standing with a gun raised and aiming at the same as you, there is no shelter in front of you at all, who can not be afraid in this situation!
Of course, the Austrian soldiers under the command of the Duke of Tuha can also be called the elite of Austria, although there have been no large-scale wars in the Austrian-Turkish border area in recent years, but the skirmishes on the Austrian-Turkish border are constant, and even most of the Austrian officers under the command of Tuha have participated in the war against the Ottoman Turks.
Therefore, it can be said that the combat effectiveness of the soldiers under Tuha is still relatively reliable, at least for Tuha, these soldiers under him are definitely the best soldiers in the world.
The first battle took place on the outskirts of Sedlice, southeast of Blatna, between an infantry battalion of the 4th Prussian Division and two cavalry squadrons of the Austrian army under the command of Duke Tuha.

Because the military establishment of Prussia has changed under the role of William, but now the mainstream military system in Europe is still the establishment of squads, squadrons, battalions, regiments, divisions, and corps, and because the situation of each country is different, the establishment of the brigade is also different, in the Austrian army, the establishment of a squadron is between 70 and 200 people.
Compared with the Austrian army with two squadrons of nearly 200 men, one battalion of Prussian troops of nearly 500 men undoubtedly had a certain advantage, but the two squadrons of the Austrian army were cavalry.
The cavalry of these two squadrons was actually the forward scouts of the Tuha army, but the cavalry of these two squadrons came to the front of the Prussian army by mistake because of the weather.
Because Dessau was personally in charge of Bratna, the Prussian army extended the front directly to Sedlice, and it was Nichlau's 9th Division that defended Sedlice.
Like the two squadrons of Austrian cavalry, the Prussian army of this infantry battalion had just been lined up here, and the Prussian army was to build a simple fortification before the arrival of the main Austrian army.
When the Austrian cavalry suddenly appeared, both sides were taken aback.
The peaceful plain was shattered by the sound of horses' hooves, and then a sharp enemy attack pierced the sky, and the Austrian cavalry reacted.
