In Europe at the moment, Ling Chen faced off with the defenders near the Austrian capital for several days.
But Long Yan's food restricted their movements.
Ling Chen was thinking about countermeasures in the camp.
"General, our food and fodder can last for seven days. If we can't find the Austrian army's food warehouse, we will have to retreat."
Ling Chen's counselor said very worriedly.
Ling Chen looked expressionless and didn't say a word. He looked at the map of Austria and didn't know what he was thinking about.
However, his counselors were worried and couldn't think of a solution.
General Ling Chen has fallen into silence since receiving the emergency military report. Now he is almost out of food and grass, and there is no way to do it.
If we can only withdraw our troops, we will not be able to complete Lord Liu Zheng's mission.
Prussia's dilemma still cannot be solved, and King Yong's military involvement will also face great difficulties.
Thinking of this, the counselor felt dizzy.
At this time, Ling Chen suddenly said in a deep voice: "How many troops have been gathered in Vienna to confront us?"
The counselor was stunned and subconsciously replied: "Less than 200,000. According to the report from the spies, it may only be 150,000."
"But it is impossible for us to attack Vienna. As soon as we attack Vienna, we will be surrounded by Austrian troops."
"Although our Dragon Flame Army is not afraid of any battle, we will not lose this battle, but we will be completely trapped to death."
Ling Chen raised his head and stared at his counselor, and said in a very calm tone, "Are you asking me to do something?"
After hearing these words, the counselor's sweat dropped from his forehead. At this moment, he felt a sharp sword hanging on his head.
If you are not careful, you will be killed.
At this time, the counselor remembered that Ling Chen was a decisive and decisive general. If he was here to persuade the troops to withdraw, wouldn't he be seeking death?
Ling Chen saw that his counselor was silent. Ling Chen's finger slid on the map of Austria, sliding from one city to another.
Pointing his finger on the map, the counselor's eyes twitched.
"General, we really want to attack!" the counselor said with a trembling voice.
Ling Chen smiled coldly and said calmly: "We came here to conquer Europe, what are we waiting for if we don't fight!"
The counselor was stunned and didn't know how to refute.
But attacking now is an act of risking death. Whether or not Vienna can be taken is aside, but your retreat route will never be blocked by the Austrian front.
At that time, even if the battle is won, there will be no way to retreat or attack.
Even if I live in Vienna, I still haven’t conquered the whole of Austria.
There is a language and culture barrier here, and Austria's military strength is definitely more than this. Attacking Vienna will definitely provoke more Austrian front troops to join the battle.
At that time, any talk of retreat was over.
This dragon flame army will be trapped and die here.
"General, the risk of us attacking Vienna is very high. After all, it is the capital of Austria!" The counselor risked his life to persuade him.
"What's more, we don't have much food. It's difficult to support a war."
Ling Chen knew everything the counselor said. He didn't know which Austrian general was in charge of Vienna, but his methods were really clever.
First, he invited you to enter the urn, and then at night, he used a trick to make them unable to retreat. He attacked and set up camp near Vienna.
By leaving them unable to retreat and forcing them to face the enemy, Ling Chen originally thought that this would force the Austrian front army to gather more troops to fight against him.
As a result, I didn't expect that at most, I could only gather 150,000 troops, which was far away from my own.
There has been friction between the two armies here, but it has never escalated into war.
If this continues, Ling Chen knows that he will be beaten to death by Austria sooner or later, and he cannot sit still and wait for death.
What's more, the grain and fodder that was supposed to be transported to the front line were robbed by France. Although the chief assistant had arranged for the grain and fodder to be sent to the front line, he also sent grain and fodder support.
But this food and grass is far from enough.
The other party obviously knew this, but still pretended to be ignorant.
They only started a small-scale war with themselves, consuming their own military supplies, and did not fight against themselves head-on. They even had the opportunity to consolidate their retreat and transportation routes.
But the other party didn't do this.
Thinking of this, Ling Chen looked forward more and more to who the Austrian commander was, someone so old and fierce.
He trapped millions of dragon flame troops in Austria in this way.
If you cannot retreat, it will be difficult to continue fighting this war if you retreat.
It is impossible for him to attack. If he attacks, if he attacks Vienna, his 200,000 Long Yan army will be surrounded and trapped to death.
Ling Chen suddenly smiled, remembering what Master Liu Zheng once said: "Throw yourself into death and live again!"
His way to break the situation is to attack. Only by approaching Vienna further will Austria feel the pressure.
Only then would he summon his own army to fight Prussia.
Only your own army can have a greater containment effect.
"Kou can go, so can I!" Ling Chen said lightly.
When the counselor heard this, a fire ignited in his heart. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something but couldn't.
He was also aware of the current situation, and knew that his army was coming out to contain the Austrian front, contain the siege of Prussia, and give Prussia a chance to breathe.
But the matter of food and fodder, or the retreat route, is before us and must be considered.
The counselor gritted his teeth and said: "General, we only have seven days of food and grass. If you want to attack me, there is nothing you can do, but the food and grass must come from somewhere!"
Ling Chen said in a deep voice: "I will find a way to find food and grass, but military orders are military orders, and this battle must be fought!"
"Send my orders to attack Vienna."
The counselor wanted to say something, but was stopped by Ling Chen's eyes.
The counselor had no choice but to leave angrily and pass on Ling Chen's order. The three armies were immediately on alert and ready to attack!
Ling Chen walked out of the military camp and looked at the Long Yan army that was quickly gathering, and nodded.
Since Austria wants to kill him, he can launch an attack to contain him!
"The target of the attack is Vienna, the capital of Austria!"
With an order, the 200,000-strong Dragon Flame Army launched a mighty attack.
According to the command of General Ling Chen, 200,000 troops were divided into three groups to attack Vienna.
As soon as Long Yan's army moved, the whole of Austria suddenly felt like an earthquake.
The Austrian front troops came out of the city to meet them.
At the same time, Ling Chen sent a team of disguised troops to disperse and head to other cities near Vienna.
Ling Chen knew very well that according to the opponent's plan, even if he captured the city, there would definitely be no food in it.
He did not believe that the Austrian Front was still short of food while fighting in his own country.
So there is only one possibility. The food and grass have been dispersed to other cities. As long as they find it, they will have a chance to make a comeback.
