With the support of Long Yan's powerful intelligence system, Liu Zheng knew nothing about the actions of the Saxon Army. It could also be said that he knew everything.
It has to be said that these Saxons are very good at keeping intelligence secret.
However, it is precisely because of this that the Longyan Army can accurately attack them every time.
The Longyan Army is indeed short of supplies in Saxony territory.
However, as long as the Saxon army has something to eat, Long Yan's army will have meat to eat and soup to drink.
Liu Zheng understands this principle very well. What belongs to the enemy is his own. If the enemy does not give it to him, he will take it away.
So when the cook reported that they were running out of food, Liu Zheng didn't panic at all.
They have long mastered the only way to transport grain in Saxony and know where their granaries are hidden.
As long as they can grab these grains, they won't have to worry about eating and drinking.
Liu Zheng then ordered to rob the Saxon troops of food.
After learning how this matter would be resolved, the cook retreated.
…
At this time, Berlin, Prussia.
Ling Chenxi rejected the Holy Crusaders and was still fighting against the Holy Crusaders. Although the situation on the battlefield was excellent.
The defeat of the Holy Crusaders is inevitable in the foreseeable future, but this will take time.
Liu Zheng is now helping Prussia to hold off threats from Saxony and the Holy Crusaders, and has no chance to step aside to help Prussia.
But the Austrian attack came from Silesili.
At this time, Frederick II could only face the Prussian army alone.
Frederick II sat in the command room in Berlin and immediately planned to respond to the Austrian attack.
According to reports from spies ahead, Austria dispatched about 60,000 people for this attack, attacking from the direction of Silesili.
They are coming fiercely, and they are all elite soldiers!
On the other hand, Frederick II had less than 40,000 soldiers, and this was counting the wounded.
The weapons and equipment of the Prussian troops are also facing big problems now. They do not have enough weapons and equipment to fight.
There was a severe shortage of muskets and artillery.
Most of the cold weapons were damaged, although Frederick II and Ling Chen had recaptured most of the factories in Prussia.
However, the factory was not operating well before it was attacked by the Holy Crusaders.
This made Prussia, which was already not wealthy, even worse.
Frederick II frowned, staring at the map of Europe, and saw a group of bright red flags attacking from the direction of Silesili.
He turned his head, looked at the many Prussian generals, and said in a deep voice: "Austria invaded from Silesili, and our military strength is far behind the opponent."
"Berlin's defensive offensive has also been completely damaged."
Everyone present fell into silence.
Frederick II looked at everyone in silence for a long time, and then said in a deep voice:
"We are very likely to fail in this war because of this. If I die, remember to let my successor,
Conquer Saxony! "
"Let Silesia and Saxony become one, and let the Germanic empire be perfected!"
Everyone looked at Frederick II and was slightly stunned.
They are all Germans, but the country they established has long been incomplete due to the rise of princes.
Let Prussia become the German Empire, this was Frederick II's wish, and it was also what they all hoped to see.
"Your Majesty, your ambition has not been realized yet, how can you talk about your posthumous affairs!"
"yes."
Frederick II smiled lightly: "Just remember what I said, I will personally command this battle!"
"Austria must not be allowed to act arbitrarily in our country!"
"Report on the current march situation in Austria!" Frederick II said in a deep voice while looking at the map.
"Report to the general, the Austrian army will arrive near the Saar River in the next few days, and they will encounter our defensive line from there."
Frederick II nodded and looked at the huge map to find the location of the Saar River.
The Saar River originates from the mountains of the French Empire and flows through Prussia.
There are many hills and plains nearby. In terms of geographical environment, the Prussian troops have a slight advantage.
But for the Austrian army, their advantage was huge.
In this battle, if they faced each other head-on, their Prussian army would definitely be torn apart in an instant.
Then it was devoured by the Austrian army.
Frederick II thought for a long time and did not think of any way of fighting that was suitable for this battle.
Their troops are too few and battle must be avoided.
When Frederick II first thought about it, he wanted to use the terrain of the hills to block the Austrian troops, disperse their forces, and defeat them one by one!
But such tactics have a big drawback. Can their troops support them in quickly encircling and suppressing the dispersed Austrian army?
The Austrian army had more troops than they did.
There is an absolute advantage in this. If they really do this, their Prussian troops will definitely disperse some of their forces.
If the Austrian troops cannot be wiped out in a short period of time.
Then the Prussian troops faced an encirclement from Austria.
Moreover, the number of artillery and ammunition in the Prussian army is extremely limited.
This way of fighting is too risky.
Frederick II had to think of other methods.
Frederick stared at the battlefield and first said: "Pass my order to change the defensive line into a north-south direction, using many small hills as a buffer for the battlefield."
"Concentrate our forces on the right wing. If the Prussian army attacks, we will gather our forces on the left wing."
"Lure the Austrian troops into the trap we set up in advance and wipe them out in one fell swoop!"
The generals looked at Frederick II's strategic deployment and did not raise any objections.
At this time, little Peter quietly sneaked into the military camp and watched Frederick II's deployment against the Austrian troops.
Some generals saw him, but didn't pay much attention to him.
They had long known about the existence of this little boy, and Frederick II had a deep affection for him.
Although this meeting is crucial, in principle, no one else is allowed to listen.
But for little Peter, it was an exception.
He was the only person who could freely enter and leave Frederick II's command room. Frederick II did not hinder the presence of little Peter at all.
Frederick II regarded this little guy as his son from the bottom of his heart.
After this meeting is over and Frederick II's order is issued.
The other generals immediately returned to their posts and entered the front line to lay out the battlefield.
Frederick II then looked at little Peter.
