William glanced at Bouel, and then, at Bouel's signal, William also raised his telescope to look in the direction that Buel was pointing.
What appeared in the telescope made William's heart beat involuntarily, and he saw that under the cover of the woods, a group of cavalry was constantly shuttling through the woods, and the military uniforms worn by these cavalrymen revealed the identity of these cavalrymen.
"Your Majesty, the Austrian cavalry must have made a big move here, for your safety, please leave immediately!"
Looking at the ever-changing expression on William's face, Bouel stood aside and persuaded anxiously, and just after Buel finished speaking, William asked him: "Büel, you send back to Bratna at once, tell Marshal Dessau what is going on here, and get him ready, and the rest of the men immediately disperse and try to go around the enemy's rear, and we must find out where these Austrians have come from, and how many troops they have!"
"Your Majesty, I will naturally obey your orders, but for the sake of the future of Prussia, it is better for you to go back immediately!"
After Buel finished speaking, he signaled to the guards around him, and several royal guards immediately came to William's side and surrounded William in the middle.
Seeing this, William smiled and waved his hand and said to Bouel: "Buel, I understand what you mean, don't worry, I'm a little inappropriate here, but we can't just go back like this, let's take a look!"
Buel wanted to persuade again, but after seeing that William had made up his mind.
The words that he was about to say were swallowed back into his stomach by Buel.
The location of William's party is on a small hill, and the location is relatively obvious, but fortunately, because William's group is not numerous.
In addition, the woods on the small hill are relatively dense, and although it is already December, the leaves on the trees have not completely fallen off, so Wilhelm and his party have not yet been discovered by the Austrians.
Wilhelm, who was holding the telescope and continuing to watch, was staring at the moment, because he found that the Austrian cavalry he had just seen in the telescope seemed to be just a vanguard, and at this moment, in the telescope, teams of Austrian cavalry emerged from both sides of the hill.
Converged into a sea of cavalry.
With tens of thousands of people and boundless numbers, this huge group of Austrian cavalry did not seem to be in a hurry to hurry, but quietly rode their horses with banners.
Just as William continued to watch.
A royal guard rode up to Bouelle's side and whispered a few words into Bouel's ear, after which Bouel walked up to William and said: "Your Majesty, judging from the banners held by the enemy, there are at least fifteen thousand of these cavalrymen.
And most of these cavalrymen were Magyars" "I say, no wonder the Magyar cavalry didn't harass our defense line during this time as they did some time ago.
It turned out that they were all used by Tuha, 15,000 cavalry, Tuha is really a big deal!
” After listening to Buel's words, William snorted softly and then spoke, and when William's words landed, he saw a group of Austrian cavalry rushing towards the hill where William and his party were.
This situation made Bouelle frightened, of course, Buel was not for himself, you must know that Buel was also the royal head of the royal family who served Frederick the Great.
For Bouill, the war simply filled the first half of his life.
Buel was terrified because of William, knowing that once William was discovered or even captured by the Austrians.
The consequences of that were absolutely catastrophic.
"Your Majesty, the enemy is coming here, please stay away immediately!"
Looking at the eagerness on Bouel's face, William knew that this was not the time for a hero, so he nodded after Bouel finished speaking, then turned and stepped on his horse to leave.
The Austrian cavalry who came towards the hill had no idea that there was a great merit in front of them, and the reason why they came to this hill was precisely because in Karl's opinion, this hill was one of the more conspicuous among the surrounding hills, and according to the guides, there was a path to Bratna behind this hill, so this cavalry was sent here by Karl.
Just as William stepped on his horse, suddenly there was a shout of killing on the side of the lake in front of the hill, although this shouting lasted for a short time, but both the Austrian army on Karl's side and William's party were startled.
Looking at the direction from which the shouts of killing came, Buel raised his eyebrows and said to William: "Your Majesty, I think our men have been discovered by the Austrians, so please return to the city immediately!"
After speaking, without waiting for William to reply, Buel slapped William's horse on the buttocks, and he was even more on William's left side, thinking about Bratner's direction.
Looking at the two soldiers in front of him in the uniforms of the Prussian royal guards, Karl's forehead wrinkled together.
Karl was also startled by the sudden shouts of killing, and he thought that his actions had been discovered by the Prussians.
Karl then ordered the whole army to stop marching and remain on alert, and it was not long before his officers arrived with the two seriously wounded prisoners of war and the corpses of several Prussians, who overturned Karl's previous thoughts.
The uniforms of the Prussian royal guards, Karl still knew.
Although William and his party left Bratna to hunt, William's entourage did not change into civilian clothes but wrapped another layer of robes on the outside of their military uniforms, and now, those robes were naturally thrown away.
"Tell me why you're here!"
Karl asked, sitting on his horse, pointing his whip at the two prisoners of war.
Then there was silence, the two Prussian prisoners of war did not seem to hear Karl's questioning, which made Karl's face become quite bad, you must know that although Austria and Prussia speak different languages, but Karl's question just now was said in Prussian, and seeing that these two prisoners of war did not put themselves in their eyes, Karl's face was naturally not much better.
Carl's personal guard was about to go up and beat the two prisoners of war, but Carl waved his hand to stop his personal guard's action, but held back the anger in his heart, and said with a pleasant face: "Rest assured, we Austrians will never mistreat prisoners of war, and I admire even the fact that they were able to fight our army without hesitation when our army was gathered here."
At this point, Karl pretended to be deep in thought before saying "However, the two of you should also know that since the two of you have fallen into my hands at this moment, then whether you live or die is only in my thoughts, and the two of you are at this age when men have made a great career, and it is not a pity to sacrifice rashly!
If you can tell me your purpose, then I will not only let them go, but I will even give them a great fortune!
” After speaking, Carl looked at the two people, only to see that although the faces of the two were a little hesitant, but in the end they were still full of resolute looks, at this moment, Carl understood that if he didn't take some measures, I am afraid that neither of them would be summoned.
"Come on!
Take these two men down and torture them separately, and remember that I will keep the first person to speak safe, safe and prosperous, at least Austria will never be stingy with the position of viscount to those who help him!
” The second half of this sentence was naturally addressed to the two Prussian prisoners of war.
After the two left, Carl continued to think.

Even if Prussia has more troops, it is impossible to waste the lives of these royal guards, you must know that the Prussian royal guard, as the name suggests, is the Prussian king's personal army, except for the Prussian royal family and the royal director, there is absolutely no other person who can give orders to the royal guard.
At the thought of this, Carl felt as if he had guessed something.
The presence of the soldiers of the Royal Guard is not an accident, and the present situation is not a trap, because if the Prussians were aware of the Austrians' plans, then Dessau would definitely set a big trap, and at the same time they would not let these soldiers start.
While Karl was thinking, an Austrian cavalryman came to Karl's side and said: "Your Highness, a Prussian has been recruited!"
Hearing that someone had recruited, Carl's face did not show a look of surprise, but a hint of doubt "Recruited?
It's so easy to recruit?
” You must know that the Prussian royal guards are all loyal and brave men selected from all over the country, and the soldiers selected in this way should not have problems in loyalty.
In fact, everyone is afraid of death, but sometimes, an ideal or belief is like a kind of anesthetic that temporarily paralyzes the sense of survival in people's hearts, and once the effect of this paralysis is lost, then the so-called forgetting to die is a joke.
It is undeniable that under the manipulation of some of the best torturers in the Austrian army, the psychological defenses of a Prussian prisoner of war were broken, and then he said what he should not have said.
When Carl, who arrived quickly, learned from the prisoner of war what he had confessed, Carl wanted to kill.
"Are you saying that your king, His Majesty William, is on the hill ahead?"
The POW did not speak, only nodded silently.
After receiving the confirmation, Karl pursed his lips tightly, and after a while, he only heard Carl shouting at the people around him: "What are you doing here!
You're all idiots!
Give my order quickly, order the vanguard to hurry forward, chase me in the direction of the hill by the lake, and whoever can catch the king of Prussia will be made a marquis, and a reward of 500,000 gold tales!
”
