Chapter 549: Unexpected Joy


"Let Leohard prepare immediately, the Austrian army is not far from our wolf's den, tell Leohard that you must not startle the snake, and let the 19th Division be ready, it is best to go around to the rear of Tuha's army, and then come to a close door and fight dogs!"

Sitting in his place, Dessau gave orders to the staff officers in the room.

Immediately after Dessau's order, the troops in and out of Bratna were mobilized, and the main force of the Prussian army, consisting of nearly 20,000 men, was assembled in addition to part of the troops remaining behind and taking on the task of luring the enemy, and then divided into two groups under the leadership of the two division commanders and began to operate.

The 19th Division was not originally in Bratna, but when Tuha led his army around the east of Bratna as Dessau intended, Dessau urgently issued an order to mobilize the 19th Division to Bratna.

Of course, Tuha was not idle, the Austrian army of 10,000 men he had placed in the rear was also in full swing towards Bratna, if it were not for the fact that time was tight, Tuha would definitely wait until the 10,000 people caught up before advancing towards Bratna.

The 5,000-strong army originally deployed in Seydlicice had already caught up, so that the main force under Tuha's command, in addition to the 14,000-man rearguard led by Karl, had reached nearly 30,000 troops.

Lake Pyrgé is the largest lake in the east of Bratna, with a total area of 500 square miles, a huge amount of water and the fact that this is the highest water level of the year, and Dessau is confident that if Tuha is not careful, he will definitely leave Tuha with a memory that will last a lifetime.

To the east of Bratna, when Tuha's army was about to reach Lake Pilge, the Austrian army was met with the most stubborn resistance of the Prussian army to date, and 3,000 Prussian troops stubbornly resisted the Austrian attack on the stretch of Lake Pilge.

"Bavia, there are only two regiments of the Prussian army, you see how long your men have been blocked!

Three times the enemy's strength did not crush the enemy on the opposite side for two days.

Bavia, do you want to be a commander, if you don't want to be a commander, say it earlier, there are people who want to be military commanders everywhere, not one of you!

” After being trained by Tuha, Bavia's face was full of embarrassment and grievance.

Bavia is one of the most powerful generals under Tuha, otherwise he would not have risen all the way to the position of commander.

And the battles with the Prussians for these two days are actually not to blame for Bavia's incompetence.

The Prussians, who were more slippery than loaches, often took refuge in small boats in the lake area after seeing the Austrian army attack, or disappeared like ground rats into tunnels for nowhere.

When the Austrian army stepped onto the Prussian position, these Prussians suddenly came out and attacked the Austrian soldiers, and the unexpected tactics caused the Bavia headquarters to make no breakthrough in the past two days.

Looking at Bavia, who was standing in front of him without saying a word, Tuha suddenly had no place to vent the fire in his stomach, and he yelled: "Bavia.

One more day, and if you can't get rid of those damn rats by dusk tomorrow, then your Commander 2 won't be there!

” After listening to Tuha's stern warning, Bavia immediately gave a military salute and then strode towards the outside of the tent, and after Bavia had left, Tuha said to a staff officer: 'Immediately pass the order to Archduke Karl.

Let him lead the army at a distance of fifty miles from the main forces of our army, and increase the frequency of contact between the two armies from once a day to twice a day, I always feel that the Prussians will not be so simple!

” ..............................

Looking at the mighty marching procession in front and back, there was no smile on Dafilia's face, a total of 40,000 Prussian and British troops were brought out of the Main theater by him, and the order given to him by the military department was to rush to the Bohemian front line in mid-September, it can be said that Dafilia's task was not easy.

Of course, Daphia was also proud at this time, and the great victory in the Main theater made his name Daphia in the military department.

If nothing else, Dafilia is fully qualified to make an upward impact, and of course it all depends on the fact that there are no surprises.

But in war, accidents always arise at any time and at any time, just like in Bavaria.

Ever since Dafilia led two Prussian divisions to make waves in Bavaria, Etans had accumulated a great deal of resentment after the Prussian army left Bavaria proper.

Ignoring the actual situation in his country, Itansi immediately ordered the start of a large-scale military expansion.

The total number of Bavarian troops increased explosively in two months, reaching a total of 50,000 men, on the one hand, because the expansion of the Bavarian army was no longer hindered by Austria and Prussia, and on the other hand.

Bavaria's large population and economic prosperity are also the main reasons.

With the full strength of Itansi, the consequence of a large amount of money was that the newly expanded Bavarian army of more than 30,000 was not much different from those veterans except for combat experience.

The news of the Prussians' occupation of the Main River region, Itans has already learned, but Itans does not think so, you must know that although the Prussians have captured the Main River valley, but now the situation of the Austro-Prussian War makes it impossible for the Prussians to waste the main force of the army on the main battlefield of the Main River, so the Prussian army will definitely send troops to the main battlefield of the Austro-Prussian War after the capture of the Main River.

And this is a great opportunity for Itansi.

Vienna had promised Itans that if Itans could send troops to attack the Prussian army on the flank of Bohemia, or send troops into the Main River to recapture the Prussian region, which the Prussians had so hard to take, then Leopold II could be crowned by the name of the Emperor, which meant that Bavaria would bid farewell to the era of the Grand Duchy.

Needless to say, Itansi also longed for the crown, and Vienna didn't think it was too demanding.

Prussia and Austria were two evenly matched opponents, just like two boxers of similar skill, and the addition of a third party at this time, even a weaker boxer, would be enough to change all the current situation.

Bavaria is undoubtedly the one who can change the current situation.

Although the Austrians were at a disadvantage in the overall situation, it was clear to everyone that Prussia, although it had a slight advantage in the war, was largely dependent on the efficient mobilization mechanism that Prussia had built up over the years.

And although Austria did not seem to have mobilized effectively in the early stages of the war, Austria was a country with a deep heritage.

Just as a young man and a middle-aged man fight, young people pay attention to speed, accuracy and ruthlessness, while middle-aged people pay attention to stability.

Although the explosive power of the young man in the early stage is enough to give him an advantage at the beginning of the battle, once the time is prolonged, then the disadvantage of the young man's lack of background will be revealed.

Of course, middle-aged people can't completely break out in a short period of time, but years of training make middle-aged people full of physical strength and solid basic skills.

This analogy is a more appropriate description of the mobilization system between Prussia and Austria.

Prussia is highly efficient, and no country in the world can compare with Prussia in terms of short-term mobilization, but if it is about the number of troops that can be mobilized in a short period of time, then Austria is undoubtedly the country that can mobilize the most troops except for the Russian Empire, which originally had a huge number of serfs.

During this time, Prussia mobilized more troops than Austrians, but the Prussian army still failed to break through the main defensive line laid by the Austrians, which is why Itans decided to fight Prussia to the end.

In Vienna, Leopold was also asking the government about the mobilization of soldiers everywhere.

In Kaunitz's answer, the mobilization of 30,000 soldiers has been completed in various parts of Austria, but at present, this army has not yet been sent to the battlefield, and in addition to these 30,000 people, the recruitment of more soldiers in a larger area is also being carried out in an orderly manner, Kautz expects that by the end of this year, Austria will be able to complete the mobilization of 100,000 people, and by next summer, Austria will even be able to complete the mobilization of 300,000 people.

This alone exposed the essence of the great powers, and although Austria had only mobilized 30,000 men so far, while Prussia had mobilized 30,000 men two or three months earlier, Prussia was still worse than Austria in the long run.

Locks's report to William clearly stated that Prussia could complete the conscription of 130,000 men by the end of this year, and 200,000 by next summer.

It seems that in 1791 Prussia would have mobilized 30,000 more troops than Austria, but by next summer the figures for both countries will be completely reversed, and Austria will have 100,000 more troops than Prussia.

In addition to these figures, Leopold II was encouraged by the news that his son, the Hungarian governor Alexander, had conscripted an army of 30,000 men for the Habsburgs, which was now on its way from Budapest to Bohemia.

The news from Hungary was a complete surprise, Leopold II did not expect that not long after his order was transmitted, Alexander would be able to arm an army of 30,000 men, which is really remarkable, no one knows better than Leopold II which Hungarian Magyars are unruly, but now Alexander's performance is enough to make people stunned!
