Shortly after the Faceless Facelings left, Alan and Simon approached in pairs, with Alan carrying a roasted oily lamb hind leg and a large piece of wheat bread, while Simon was carrying a bottle of wine and three glasses.

"Lord Eugen, you haven't eaten dinner yet, you can set tasks while you eat, and we'll just listen."

Alan walked ahead and spoke first, and raised the roast leg of lamb in his hand as he spoke.

Eugen smashed his lower lip, he really felt a little hungry, so he smiled and said, "I came at the right time, I happen to be a little hungry, so let's talk while eating." ”

With that, Eugen sat up, raised his hand and patted the bluestone under his buttocks, asking Alan and Simon to sit down as well.

They were not polite, but sat down beside Eugen, and the three of them formed a circle facing each other, and the food and wine were placed in the open space in the middle.

Eugen lifted the roast leg of lamb and bit it hard, chewed it and swallowed it along with the wine, and then said: "I do have a plan for this battle, but there is still a lot to improve. Alan, tell me a little bit more about the terrain near Vienna. ”

Hearing this, Alan glanced at Simon next to him, fortunately with Simon's reminder, he did his homework, and he didn't need to take out the map at this moment, so he gushed endlessly: "Yes, Lord Eugen, Vienna is in the belly of the Holy Roman Empire, the city area is very large, almost equivalent to two Lebor cities, and to the north of it, is the perennial Danube River......"

The evening breeze blew and blew away the conversation of the three Eugens, blowing the aroma of wine and meat all around, and the supporting troops of the city of Leber, after they had eaten and drunk, went back to their tents and fell asleep.

The night was undisturbed, and all the soldiers fell into a deep sleep, recuperating and preparing for tomorrow's battle.

At the same time, however, the defenders of Vienna could not sleep peacefully, because the enemy opposite them suddenly changed their offensive style.

At the beginning of the third day, the Saxon army went on the offensive as usual, but this time it did so in a completely different way.

Under the orders of the Duke of Billund, the Saxon cavalry corps, which was only in the early 20,000s, was divided into two hundred cavalry brigades.

After the change of formation, the three commanders who lost the attack yesterday also lost their role, and they were really driven to the forefront of the stormtroopers by Duke Billund, which made these three pampered adults suffer a lot.

And the entire Saxon legion, after this change, has also changed from a raging lion to a cunning jackal!

The 200 cavalry brigades were scattered along the Habsburg line of defense, distributed almost evenly to every part of the line, and then waited for an opportunity to attack the line.

Each time, they are just walking away, not obsessed with killing the enemy, but constantly harassing the defensive line.

Because the speed of the cavalry was so fast, the defenders on the defensive line had little chance to attack them, and every time they were just about to attack, when they looked up, they could only see the smoke and dust rising from behind the horses' buttocks, and the Saxon cavalry had already flown away.

In the face of this kind of enemy, the archers of the defending army also lost their accuracy, and they could not shoot the full screen luck, and later, in order to prevent the waste of arrows, General Ike simply ordered the archers to stop shooting, and then those Saxon cavalry became even more rampant.

Waves of harassing attacks were carried out from morning to evening, and the two hundred Saxon cavalry brigades were divided into several groups and attacked back and forth until midnight.

The defending defenders were so emaciated that if they were left alone, the damned Saxon cavalry would have destroyed the line they had so hard built, but if they attacked, they would immediately retreat without giving them any chance of a frontal battle.

The defenders of Vienna also had a small number of cavalry, but in this situation, how dare General Ike order his soldiers to rush out, so in the end he could only passively defend against the harassment of the Saxon cavalry.

During the day, the battle damage on both sides was almost zero, but the defenders were very tired, and even the established defensive lines were damaged and needed to be repaired urgently.

In the middle of the night, the Saxon cavalry finally stopped attacking, and the defenders were able to take a short break.

However, there are only a few hours left before dawn, and if the Saxon cavalry continues this attack tomorrow, it will be the most troublesome.

However, the current situation was not without its benefits, and if the Saxon cavalry continued to maintain such harassing attacks, it would have helped the defenders to stall for time.

Today, General Ike frowned, he believed that it was impossible for Duke Billund not to understand this truth, since this is the case, then why did Duke Billund still adopt such a strategy, this is what General Ike is most puzzled about.

It wasn't until the second half of the night that a piece of information came that General Ike's confusion was resolved.

It turned out that at about eleven o'clock that night, what General Ike had feared most all along---- finally happened, and the Prussian regiment reached the vicinity of the defensive line.

That's a whole army of 60,000! It was still so difficult to face Saxony's army of 30,000, and if it was to add 60,000 troops, General Ike couldn't help but feel some hopelessness.

Although he knew that this would happen sooner or later, when it did, General Ike still found it difficult to accept.

In the face of such a large number of enemies, with only these soldiers in his hands, he no longer knew how big this battle should be, and the pressure of the 60,000 army was like a mountain, pressing the Vienna defense line.

"Alas, even if Prince Eugen is personally in command, it is impossible to hold it."

Standing alone in the tent, General Ike let out a heavy sigh as he looked at the pattern above the tent.

The enemy came too quickly, far more than they expected, and as the battle continued to attrition, the Habsburg defenders were reduced to only about 30,000 men.

With 30,000 people, against 80,000 Prussia plus Saxony, such a huge difference in numbers is really too terrible.

It's just four days before the reinforcements arrive, four days! According to General Ike's estimates, if the enemy launched a full-scale attack, they might not be able to survive even two days, let alone four.

At this moment, the other soldiers in the army did not know about this, and if they found out, the morale that had been raised so hard would probably collapse immediately.

If a war is bound to be lost, then it should not start at all.

Surrender...... The word popped through General Ike's mind.
