It's just that it takes time for an army to hurry, and the larger the army, the longer it takes.

In the case of the Prussian army, at the beginning of the battle, 70,000 troops wanted to rush from Prussia to Vienna, and it took more than a month to travel alone.

The battle dragged on from the cold winter to the beginning of spring, and the rush occupied a large part of the time.

The same applies to other large coalition forces, and it seems that even the coalition of the Wittelsbach family, which is closest to Vienna, will take nearly a week to reach the battlefield.

That's a full 30,000 people, eating, drinking, and Lazar along the way, everything has to be taken into account, and the distance that can be advanced every day is really limited, and this kind of thing, even if it is urgent, cannot be rushed.

As for the 100,000 allied troops in the western region, no matter how urgent their mood may be, the road must always be taken step by step, and the distance they have reached Vienna is still the farthest, and the most optimistic view is that when they arrive at the battlefield, it will be two weeks later.

This period of time, in normal times, is nothing, and it will pass soon.

But at the moment, they could not be so leisurely, because Prussia and Saxony had already launched an attack on the Vienna Line.

Duke Billund was determined to go all the way to the dark, and on the day the news broke, he led the 5,000 Eagle Feather Legion to attack first, and pounced directly on the Habsburg Line.

The swift and fierce arrival of the Eagle Feather Legion was like an arrow in a straight line into the line, and the knights in black armor climbed over the hillside, rounded the ravine, and stood fiercely with the defenders of Vienna in front of the guardrail surrounded by log spikes.

The earth that the spring breeze blew through was already red with blood before it could turn green, and the wails of the wounded and the screams of the dead were mixed and echoed from valley to valley.

Facing the ironclad cavalry coming head-on, a group of spearmen leaned the end of their guns on the rocks on the ground, leaned down to hold the barrel of their guns, and pointed the tips of their guns diagonally upwards in front of them.

The tip of the spear was so dense and compact, and the entire section of the defense line was like a hedgehog curled up without revealing any flaws, but the iron horsemen didn't seem to see the bright tips of the spears, and they didn't slow down at all, and just slammed into them straight and straight.

The sound of the tip of the spear entering the flesh sounded, and several bloody holes were suddenly pierced out of the body of the tall and sturdy war horse, and the hot blood gushed out like a fountain, and the thick front hooves of the war horse were raised high, overturning the cavalry riding on it to the ground.

The Saxon cavalry that fell to the ground still rushed forward, as if they were a zombie without consciousness and fear, and even if they hit it with their own bodies, they would knock the defense line away.

The cavalry in the rear continued to rush up, and each cavalry seemed to be dying, and some of them crawled through the defense line with their hands and feet when their mounts died, as if rushing through this line of defense was the only goal of their lives.

Under such a fierce attack, the defenders' defensive line was breached after only a moment, and a large number of Saxon cavalry entered the line, creating a bloody storm behind the line.

Then, under the leadership of Duke Billund, the entire cavalry unit turned back like a whirlwind, and after the horrific killing, the cavalry left the line with ease.

The Eagle Feather Legion, led by Duke Billund, pecked at a piece of meat from the Viennese defenders like a falcon, and then left in style.

When General Ike reacted and wanted to mobilize an army to encircle and suppress this army, he found that they were long gone, leaving only a messy battlefield and the corpses of countless of his own soldiers.

In this small contact battle, the defenders lost as many as 2,000 men, while the casualties of the Eagle Feather Legion were only more than 200, and the battle loss ratio reached 10 to 1.

Hearing this number, General Ike's face immediately turned pale, and he didn't know if it was because of anger or fear.

In this battle, the Habsburg soldiers were enough to apply, and even in the face of the onslaught of heavy cavalry, no one timidly retreated.

Unfortunately, the gap in strength between the two sides was too large to be made up for by mere courage, and after weighing it for a moment, General Ike decided to shrink his forces again and shorten the defense line one step further, so as to improve the defense at every point of the defense line.

This is like condensing a loose mass of sand to form a mass of sand, the higher the degree of aggregation, the higher the hardness of the mass of sand, and if it reaches the extreme, it can become an indelible diamond.

As a result, the entire line of defense was further contracted with Vienna as the center.

However, in the process of the transfer of the army, the Saxon cavalry actually went and returned, causing another great killing, and then marched away.

In two waves of attacks, the defenders lost more than 3,000 men, and the defense was further weakened, and the situation became worse and worse.

"Damn it, Billund, madman!" General Ike was so angry and anxious that he couldn't help but curse.

He didn't expect that just after His Majesty the Emperor Charles VI woke up, this Duke of Billund would dare to attack so recklessly, did he really want to die, and desperately want to break through Vienna?

To this question, the Duke of Billund answered him with action, and in just one day, the Saxon cavalry attacked the defenders of Vienna seven times, and in seven different periods, each of which had a kind of death-defying momentum.

Thankfully, General Ike took a timely countermeasure, which did not cause irreparable consequences, but even so, the defenders lost a total of 5,000 brave soldiers, and the total number was sharply reduced to 35,000.

Fortunately, the Prussian regiment has not yet arrived on the battlefield, otherwise it is not clear what direction the situation will take.

The defenders' line of defense was also constantly shrinking, and finally they came to a position about three kilometers from the Vienna wall, where the Saxon cavalry offensive was stopped by the fact that there were already towering mountains around it, and the Danube River on the other side.

In the evening, the Duke of Billund returned to the military tent, and during the day they won a lot of victories, but the Duke of Billund's face was very ugly, and the tone of his voice was very unkind.

"Damn, these Prussians without eggs, I don't know when they will be like men. Damn, if they had made it to the battlefield today, maybe that fragile line of defense would have been torn apart by us like a woman's pants! ”

Duke Billund's words were very vulgar, which also showed how anxious he was at the moment.
