Chapter 326: The Victory in Vienna (70/104)
Early in the morning, the Saxon soldiers had all assembled and were ready to attack.
Duke Billund stood on the lookout with confidence, looking at the Vienna city wall in front of him, at this moment, he could already think of the appearance of himself climbing the city wall, and he could also think of the appearance of Charles VI kneeling in front of him and begging for mercy, thinking about it, Duke Billund couldn't help laughing.
Smiling and smiling, he turned his head sideways to look at the Prussian camp, which, as was customary, should have been the Prussian legions attacking the city first, and then they would start moving.
However, at this glance, Duke Billund suddenly had some doubts, and saw that the Prussian soldiers next to him did not begin to assemble, but dispersed and began to dismantle the tents in the camp.
"Huh? What are those Prussian soldiers doing? Why did they tear down the tents in the camp? ”
Duke Billon whispered suspiciously, and the generals guarding beside him saw this scene, thought about it, and said with a smile: "Haha, maybe they think they can capture Vienna today, so they packed their things in advance and prepared to move towards the city." ”
This speculation was a bit too optimistic, but it was also an explanation, and when Duke Billund heard it, he immediately laughed happily, and what he wanted most now was victory, and this explanation was exactly what he wanted.
"Hahaha, well, then let's not wait for a while, let's just order the soldiers to attack, after all, it was agreed with Prussia that the one who enters the city first will be king. If they want to rub, let them rub it. ”
With that, Duke Billund directly gave the order to attack.
So a group of Saxon soldiers assembled under the lookout headed for Vienna, this time without horses, but slowly advancing towards the city.
The Habsburg soldiers had already stood on the city walls, keeping an eye on the approaching Saxons below, but unfortunately their bows, arrows, spears and other war supplies had been exhausted, and they lacked long-range means of attack.
The only thing that could be used at the moment was the muskets that had not been used yesterday, the number of muskets was small, and the firing interval was very long, and such an attack could not bring any pressure to the Saxon soldiers.
General Ike stood on the tower, frowning as he watched the approaching enemy forces below, his eyes full of solemnity.
For today's battle, he has no confidence in winning at all, the difference in strength between the two sides is too great, even if they try their best, it is impossible to hold this wall.
At this time, the Duke of Gian, who was standing next to General Ike, noticed the strangeness in the Prussian camp, and said suspiciously: "Huh? What is the situation in the Prussian barracks and why are they packing up! ”
Hearing Duke Ji'an's words, General Ike also turned his gaze, only to see that at this time, the military tents and other materials in the Prussian camp had been packed up and loaded on the cart, and the plain suddenly seemed empty, and all the Prussian soldiers were also assembled.
In this case, General Ike could not judge the enemy's intentions, so he shook his head and sighed and said: "Alas, I don't know, the general of the Prussian Legion, Kyiros, is known for his insidious cunning, who knows what tricks he has. ”
Duke Ji'an had some vague speculations in his heart, but he didn't say it, and was ready to continue to wait and see for a while.
At this time, a soldier next to him who had no identity suddenly spoke: "Hey, looking at their situation, it won't be that they are going to retreat." ”
Well? Hearing this, Duke Ji'an and General Ike immediately turned their eyes to the little soldier and asked, "You, what did you just say?" ”
The little soldier was suddenly noticed by the two big guys, and he was immediately startled, but he didn't dare not answer the big guy's question, so he said cautiously: "Well, I just said that they may be retreating......"
Duke Gi'an and General Ike glanced at each other, both seeing the joy in each other's eyes, and then General Ike took two steps forward and leaned on the city wall, staring at the situation of the Prussian legion, trying to confirm the purpose of the other party.
After another ten minutes, the Prussian regiments finally packed up all their supplies, and then their soldiers turned and walked slowly forward with their backs to the walls of Vienna.
The Prussian regiment actually really retreated!
Seeing this scene, Ike General was completely on the castle tower, he could hardly believe his eyes, and even wondered if he was hallucinating.
Duke Ji'an was also stunned for a moment, and then suddenly burst out laughing.
"Hahaha!" He smiled so happily that he didn't care about his identity and image.
General Ike had tears in his eyes, and he looked at the sky in front of him excitedly, muttering, "We...... Hold on, we actually hold on. ”
At this moment, shouts of killing sounded not far away, and General Ike followed the sound to see that it was the Saxon soldiers who rushed under the city wall and were attacking.
"Kill! Ha ha! Gather all the soldiers and kill all these sons of bitches! ”
General Ike shouted with joy, and even burst out foul language, and the soldiers on the wall, which had been used to defend the Prussian legions, began to move and gather on a section of the wall facing Saxony.
At this moment, the soldiers guarding the city wall also learned the news of the Prussian withdrawal, and their morale suddenly increased greatly, and they all exerted 120% combat effectiveness, desperately slashing and killing those Saxon soldiers.
The Prussian legions in the distance gradually departed, and the Saxon soldiers were under great pressure, and in a matter of moments they suffered heavy casualties.
When Duke Billund saw the Prussian legions withdrawing, he almost fainted in anger, and when he had recovered his breath, he immediately issued the most vicious curse to Kyiros.
Unfortunately, Kylos had already left here, and it was impossible to hear his words again.
It didn't take long for the Saxon soldiers, who had been unable to attack for a long time, to retreat, and they only had more than 10,000 men, and it was impossible to win in the face of the Habsburg defenders, who had the advantage of the terrain.
In the end, no matter how unwilling Duke Billund was, he had to give the order to retreat.
He is not stupid, and he will not bury his entire army here because of a moment of anger.
Thus, a protracted war slowly came to an end with the withdrawal of the two armies, and the Habsburgs won the final victory with all their strength and a little luck.
This competition between the three major powers of the Holy Roman Empire lasted for nearly ten years or so, from the beginning of the planning and layout, until the final plan and dagger, hundreds of thousands of people participated in it, and now, there is finally a final result.
The combined forces of the Vetiners and the Hohenzollerns were defeated in Vienna, and the Habsburgs won a crushing victory.
