The Austrian coalition continued to retreat towards the hinterland of Austria, and was in great panic; The Prussian army drove straight in, pursued all the way, and advanced the front to Sadova in one go! If you want to retreat from the rear, not far from Sadova is Vienna, the capital of Austria!

However, just when the Austrian coalition army fled in embarrassment, the Prussian army also exposed a flaw at this time, the Prussian army of four corps, more than a dozen corps quickly rushed to the front, but the Elbe Army in Dresden a big battle, the consumption was too great, the first corps was rushed out of the mountains, but also exhausted the physical strength, in this pursuit battle, unconsciously fell behind, and the front of the second corps, the third corps opened a huge distance, giving the Austrian army an opportunity!

This time, in order to be able to contain the momentum of the Prussian attack, Albelecht personally went to the battle, came to the former enemy from Vienna, and learned from the Austrian cavalry scouts about the current Prussian pursuit. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Albelecht pulled over the military map and looked at it carefully, yes, the current Elbe Army and the First Army, five corps, almost 60,000 troops, all lagged behind, while the Second Army and the Third Army in front had crossed the Elbe and continued to advance forward.

There's never been a better time to strike back!

Albelecht clutched the pencil in his hand and shouted in a deep voice: "Immediately give an order, order Schubert's army, which is still on the north bank of the Elbe, to stop crossing the river, reorganize its forces, and be ready for a counteroffensive at any time; Ordered Fred to immediately assemble his cavalry regiments, immediately attack, bypass the Elbe, and launch a surprise attack on the Prussian regiments on the north bank of the Elbe River. Be sure to kill the Prussian Elbe Army and the First Army in the back! ”

Albelecht paused, and then said: "Also, immediately order Berard to move to the east, pin down the Prussian Second Army and the Third Army on the south bank, and drag them to the south bank to death, without giving them any chance to come back!" ”

Cavalry corps, this is Austria's last hole card, there is a cavalry corps with a strength of 40,000 in Austria, three armies, is the strongest mobile ability in Austria, and the most powerful legion, this combat power has been staying near Vienna, protecting the safety of the capital, knowing the defeat ahead, Albelecht had to show this trump card legion!

Albelecht was right, life and death are in the middle of this battle!

The current Prussian army is no longer as convenient as it used to command, after all, in Austria, where did such a developed telegraph line come from? Even if there were, they were all Austrians, and could not be completely used by Prussia, and without the telegraph to transmit orders in time, it was inevitable that there would be mistakes in the movement and coordination of the army!

However, Moltke and Bismarck had also discovered this problem, and moved the General Staff out of Berlin, rushed directly from behind, and advanced directly to Dresden, so that they could command the front of the battle nearby.

At this time, Moltke also discovered the problem faced by Prussia almost at the same time, the second army and the third army in the front actually left the Elbe Army and the first army behind, the former has left the Elbe River more than fifty miles, and the latter's troops are now more than thirty miles away from the Elbe.

Moltke's heart was pounding, the current situation must be changed, this huge hidden danger must be eliminated, otherwise, it is very likely that Prussia will fall short! But where is it so easy to change the situation, now the two army corps at the front are more than one hundred and fifty miles away from the General Staff, even if the cavalry is dispatched, if you want to catch up with the two corps in front, it will take two days!

It is too late to change the current military deployment of the front legions, even if they stop advancing and retreat immediately, if Albelecht makes a move, they will definitely not let them retreat smoothly!

Mao Qi's brows furrowed tightly, since the troops in front of him can't quickly change their deployment, then change the situation in the north of the target! Fortunately, the two corps on the south side of the Elbe River are combined, and the strength of the nine armies is almost more than 150,000 people, such a strong combat power, even if it singles out all the main forces of the current Austrian coalition army, it will not be too inferior, Austria will definitely not dare to attack them, otherwise, once the two Prussian corps rush up, the Austrian coalition army is likely to be eaten all!

Albelecht's idea to fight is also the idea of the big rear!

Moltke quickly calculated, well, the idea of fighting the Elbe Army and the First Army Corps, then it will be calculated, I don't believe that you can pull all the Austrian coalition forces back to the north bank of the Elbe River in a very short time, absolutely impossible!

At most, with the help of their powerful cavalry and the strength of an army on the north bank, they will fight our surprise attack, and the strength is very limited!

"Fuck, at this time, I can only fight!"

Moltke gritted his teeth and shouted: "Immediately give the First Legion an order, order the First Legion to stop advancing, temporarily rest in place, and be ready for battle at any time!" Order the Elbe Army to still move forward, quickly approach the Elbe, and prepare to cross the river! On the march, watch out for the surprise attack of the Austrian cavalry! ”

Moltke gave the order quickly.

Ahead, Bittenfeldt and Steinmetz got the order, both of them were confused, if they want to say that they want to rest, it is not this time, why is it suddenly ordered to rest and recuperate now? And to let the 1st Corps rest and the Elbe Corps to move on? General Moltke: Which one did you do? ”

However, the order has come down, and Bittenfeldt is no longer satisfied, so he can only carry it out, and can only complain that the Elbe Army is suffering, and the successive battles, the Elbe Army is the hardest, and the casualties are also the heaviest, saying that it is now his own three armies, and the total strength of the Elbe Army is now just over 30,000, and the casualties are more than one-third!

"Damn, go forward, go forward, damn Frederick and His Royal Highness William, the two of them don't know to wait for us, they are full of energy and run fast, Lao Tzu is tired enough!"

Bittenfeldt muttered discontentedly.

The army was still slowly advancing, but before it reached the banks of the Elbe, the Austrian cavalry corps had already rushed across the river, and the Elbe legion was about to face a bloody battle again!
