In November 1791, Itans led 30,000 Bavarian troops northward, and 10,000 Bavarian troops were waiting for Itans to pass before they met, while more than 30,000 Prussian-British troops were busy building fortifications on the Newenburg front.
Unlike Russia, Bavaria is blessed with a warm climate and fertile land, making it a great granary of the Holy Roman Empire.
Dafilia, who had captured a large part of northern Bavaria, did not have to worry about the logistics area at all, and even benefited from Itanth's determination.
Dafilia defeated the Bavarian army and captured enough ammunition for more than 30,000 allied troops for a short time.
Under such circumstances, many people suggested to Dafilia that since there was no need to worry about logistics and supplies, why didn't the Prussian army go south directly to meet the Bavarian army, knowing that the strength of the Prussian army was attack.
Faced with these suggestions, Dafilia smiled and vetoed them.
Although Prussia had a good influence in Bavaria, these forces could not influence the attitude of most Bavarians, and from the perspective of Bavaria as a whole, most people still supported Itans, because Itans not only had a righteous name, but also in terms of action, Prussia had become an invader in the eyes of many Bavarians.
After all, Neuinburg had been captured by the Allied forces for some time, and the Prussians had a good understanding of the terrain and environment here.
Even if you can't take advantage of the time and place to defeat the Bavarians, at least you won't be defeated by the Bavarians using the right time and place.
And once they went south, then the battlefield of the coalition forces could not be Nuremberg.
It would be possible to take place on every road in which the coalition forces were moving south, and if they went south, they would not be on the side of the Prussians.
Although Dafilia believed that even if Etans had the right time, place and people, it would be impossible to completely defeat the coalition forces.
But things on the battlefield are never 100 percent, and Itans can't completely defeat the coalition forces, but once the coalition forces are badly defeated in the battle with Bavaria.
Then even if the Bavarian campaign was won, in the big picture, Dafilia was still defeated.
Everyone knows the predicament before Prussia.
At such a moment, every general is eager to use the soldiers in his hands, one as two.
And once a major loss has been suffered, it would be distressing not to mention the number of casualties.
The mere hope that Brandenburg's reinforcements would return to their pre-war size was enough to exhaust the patience of men.
From the Austro-Prussian War to the present.
To put it bluntly, Prussia's reinforcements were nowhere near as rapid as they had been.
Two and a half divisions were lost on the Main, and on the Bohemian front, hundreds of soldiers were killed and wounded almost every day, and at one point this level of attrition even exceeded the expectations of the military department.
So the goal for Dafilia now is how to defeat the Bavarian army and even annihilate the Bavarian army with minimal casualties!
..............................
When the news of the defeat of the Grand Duke of Tuha in the battle in Bohemia reached Vienna, almost the whole of Vienna was in a sensation, and no one thought that after having a huge military advantage, the Grand Duke of Tuha still did not bargain in the hands of the Prussians.
For a time, many Austrians were disillusioned with the prospects of the war.
But the Austrian upper echelons did not think so, although the Grand Duke of Tuha failed in his attack on the front line of Bratna.
But the whole situation on the battlefield did not change because of this, and even after the deployment of 30,000 Hungarian troops, the Austrian army would regain the initiative on the Bohemian front.
However, this news did make Leopold II angry enough, the emperor did not think that after having the advantage of troops, Tuha still did not completely defeat the Prussians on the other side, and even suffered a big loss himself.
Now that Tuha's request for help was on Leopold II's desk, the Emperor was tempted to ignore the Grand Duke's documents, and even the Emperor had the urge to change his commander, but in the end reason prevailed over the impulse.
Not only the emperor, but now the whole of Austria knows that the battle in Bohemia entrusts the national fortune of the whole Austria, and as the only remaining famous general in Austria, Tuha carries the rise and fall of the entire empire on his shoulders.
Tuha's ability and experience are absolutely second to none in the Austrian army at this moment, if the commander is changed at this moment, one is that His Majesty the Emperor does not have a general who can match the ability of the Grand Duke Tuha, and the other is a taboo for soldiers to change commanders in battle, especially at the moment, when the Prussian and Austrian sides are in full swing.
"Increase the troops, give him as much as he wants!
Tell Tuha that there is only one thing I want, and that is victory, and for that I will not hesitate to send all the men of the Habsburg family to battle!
Kautz, how many troops will Vienna be able to squeeze out?
” "Your Majesty, throw away those soldiers who have just been recruited and have not yet been trained, the army that can be mobilized in Vienna at the moment is about more than 10,000 people!"
Hearing Kaunitz's answer, Leopold II's brows furrowed, in this level of more than 100,000 people fighting, an army of 10,000 people can certainly play a big role, but in Leopold II's opinion, this is still far from enough.
Everyone knows that the only thing that Austria can support or even turn the tide of the war at the moment is on the Bohemian front, Austrian Poland has been completely lost, and in Moravia, five Prussian divisions are constantly attacking day and night, even though Vienna has made several reinforcements to the Moravian line, but the situation there can still be said to be precarious.
In such a situation, the Bohemian front became the last and only hope, either the Austrians defeated the Dessau corps and opened the door to Saxony, or the Tuha division was defeated by the Prussians, who opened the road to Vienna.
In addition to these two options, neither Prussia nor Austria had a third option.
"Kaunitz, you didn't hear what I just said clearly, I have already said that it is how many troops Vienna can squeeze out, not how many troops Vienna can go to war!"
Leopold II's words made all the Austrian ministers present realize that their emperor seemed to be preparing to die in Bohemia and the Prussians!
"Your Majesty, Vienna must have enough to defend itself!
This is the capital of the Empire, and we must ensure the maximum safety of Vienna and Your Majesty!
” Hearing Kaunitz say this, all the Austrian ministers present opened their mouths and followed, but after hearing these ministers' words, the anger on Leopold II's face grew even stronger.
"Aren't you guys very shrewd when you're vying for power!

Why did they become so confused when it came to big things!
Vienna was indeed the center of the empire, but now we need to think not of one Vienna, but of all of Austria and all the Habsburg possessions!
The battle in Bohemia was not a simple battle, but a matter of life and death for the Empire!
Once Tuha's troops were routed by the Prussians, what good use would be there to the number of troops stationed in Vienna!
There are three major hatreds in my life, one is that I led my troops to defeat in battle a few years ago, so that the Prussian army actually came to the city of Vienna, which is an unprecedented shame for the empire since defeating the Ottomans!
Second, for the sake of the stability of the empire, I actually wronged my beloved daughter to marry the barbarian monarch of Prussia!
Third, it failed to prevent the Prussians from conquering Frankfurt, so that Frankfurt, the coronation place of the previous emperors, fell into the hands of the Prussians, and even with the support of the Prussians, the puppet imperial parliament in Frankfurt actually elected the traitor of the Habsburg family in Cologne as the puppet emperor!
These three hatreds torment my heart day and night, if I can't wash away the shame, what face will I have to meet the ancestors of the Habsburgs, and what face will I have to lead the tens of millions of people in the empire!
If it weren't for the fact that I knew that I was not a general, I would have personally led the army to the battlefield, and I couldn't wait to soothe the three hatreds in my heart one by one!
Therefore, needless to say, I have made up my mind that all the rest of Vienna's army, regardless of whether they have been trained in combat or not, will be reinforced to the command of the Grand Duke of Tuha, except for the troops that are left behind enough to maintain law and order!
” Leopold II said so categorically that even all the ministers present were a little stunned after Leopold II's words, and at this time Kautz quietly approached Leopold II and whispered: "Your Majesty, if this is really done, then the command of the Grand Duke of Tuha will gather almost all the forces that the entire empire can call upon at this stage, and Vienna will not have the strength to fight a war.
I'm afraid that if the Grand Duke of Tuha has any idea in his heart, then Austria will really be worried."
"Kaunitz, you fool!
The Grand Duke of Tuha has guarded the border for me for more than ten years, and his 70,000 troops are brave, but have you ever seen that Tuha has a strange mind?
Now that I have put the fate of the empire in the hands of Tuha, it means that I trust him, or if there is any real consequence in the future, it will be God who will destroy me Austria!
” When Leopold II had finished speaking, he saw that Kaunitz was going to persuade him again, so he waved his hand and interrupted Kaunitz, and then said: "You just have to tell me how many troops can be drawn from Vienna under the premise that I say?"
"Your Majesty, Vienna can draw an army of 25,000 men!"
"Very good, all the 25,000 men will be reinforced under the command of the Grand Duke of Tuha, and the order will be issued immediately, ordering the army to send troops tomorrow!"
