The infantry sent out by the Prussian legion to encircle finally coalesced, but like a weak pincer, it only pinched the tail of the Habsburg cavalry, and more than a hundred soldiers were besieged in it, and most of the rest escaped.

"Damn, damn, damn!"

Kylos shouted three times in a row, the anger in his heart had reached the extreme, but he couldn't do much more, even if he sent the cavalry of the legion to pursue him, it would be too late.

Moreover, the number of cavalry in his legion was too small, and even if he caught up, he might not be able to get much benefit.

Eventually, the battle was temporarily halted by the infantry regiment that had more than 100 Habsburg cavalry, and the Prussian soldiers were shuttling up and down the barracks, counting the casualties and dealing with the destroyed camps.

The Habsburg cavalry not only killed people but also set fire to them, and half of the tents in the camp on the left were burned, and some of the soldiers who slept so deeply were burned alive in the tents.

After this toss, it was not until dawn that the Prussian army could barely settle down, and after the war, the enemy attack caused them more than 4,700 casualties, and the Habsburg cavalry they surrounded and killed less than 200.

This sudden attack, like a resounding slap in the face, was struck in the confident face of the Prussian regiment.

With 80,000 against 30,000, victory seemed to be within reach, but now, with a surprise attack, the Habsburg defenders declared that they were not a bunch of soft eggs to be kneaded at will.

Before the siege began, the number of attackers was reduced by nearly 5,000, and most of these 5,000 were archers who played a very important role in the siege.

Even Kyiros, who has always been calm and steady, and has excellent command ability, can't help but be a little unable to suppress his anger at this moment.

"Pass the order, don't wait until noon, when the sun rises, we will attack immediately!"

In the tent, Kyiros said angrily.

"But, sir." At this time, a general standing below reminded in a low voice: "The soldier is already very tired after many days of hard work, which is really not conducive to fighting. And we have already agreed with the Saxon side to attack at noon, and if we suddenly attack early, those Saxons will probably not cooperate. ”

This suggestion was very pertinent, and after this man finished speaking, the other generals also nodded in agreement.

However, at this moment, Kylos had been distraught by last night's battle, and his head had been aching since he woke up last night, until now the pain had become more and more intense instead of getting better.

All of these things combined to make Kyiros almost completely unable to listen to the advice of his men.

At this moment, he suddenly stood up from his chair, drew the long sword at his waist and waved it in the air, and roared angrily: "The soldiers of the Hohenzollern family have no cowards! We're going to attack, and we'll be able to hold a banquet in the evening at Schönbrunn Palace in Vienna, shut up and give me orders, and as for the damned Saxons, they'll just come to help, and if they don't come, we'll go back and kill them all when we take Vienna!" ”

As he spoke, Kyros strode out of the tent, and said to the attendants beside him as he walked: "Prepare my horse for me, and I will personally go into battle to supervise the battle!" ”

The Prussian generals looked at each other, they didn't expect Kyiros to be so angry, which was very different from their impression of him, especially when commanding the battlefield, Kyiros has always been famous for planning and acting.

But now that Kyiros had finally given the order, and they couldn't disobey it, the general who had made the suggestion before sighed helplessly, and had to follow Kyiros out.

The other generals also walked out of their tents and returned to their own troops to begin arranging the battle, each with some worry on their faces.

The soldiers under his command had been on the road for two days in a row, and they were already in a state of exhaustion, and they were disturbed by the sudden attack last night.

In any case, in the low whining of the horn, the Prussian legion, a huge war machine, was finally mobilized, and groups of soldiers began to pour out of the camp tents and assemble in the open space in front of the main camp.

Tens of thousands of people gathered, hoplites, sword and shield infantry, pikemen, archers, musketeers, and even heavy siege chariots assembled with hardwood and iron, all gathered together to form a huge battle phalanx.

The atmosphere above the battle phalanx seemed to be solemn, and the wind of last night had stopped by early morning, the dust was scattered, the grass and trees were still, and there was a cramped and oppressive atmosphere all around.

Today was not a good day, with a few thick clouds accumulating high in the sky, most of the sunlight was blocked, and only a few small pillars of light were projected through the cloud curtain.

It looks like there's a rain brewing, but I don't know when it's coming.

In the early morning of the fourth day, the huge Prussian army was about to embark on a full-scale siege, and the huge battle formation of 55,000 men gathered a terrifying might, and from a distance, there was no end in sight.

Just looked closer, but found that the soldiers in the battle array were not as terrible as they imagined, and I saw that they all had a depressed look on their faces, as if they hadn't woken up.

Some people even took advantage of the short time of the formation to squint their eyes and start to rest.

The spear in the pikeman's hand was against the ground, his whole body was supported by the barrel of the gun, and his eyelids were closed up and down from time to time.

The shields in the hands of the sword and shield soldiers hung down, and they also looked listless, and the faces of the hoplites were hidden in their helmets, so that their expressions could not be seen clearly, but judging from their loose stance, it could be seen that they were not in good spirits.

On the edge of the battle formation, several Prussian soldiers were chatting in places that the generals could not see.

"Hey, why is the siege about to start all of a sudden, isn't it scheduled to start at noon?" A soldier supported his body with a cane on the flagpole and asked a companion who was the squad leader next to him.

The companion was wiping the blade of his knife with a rag, shook his head angrily, and said, "How do I know, I heard that it was because of the attack last night that angered our General Kyiros. ”
