At this time, on the European battlefield.
Because of the failure of the war, although Frederick II quickly gathered 32,000 troops.
But another unit of the Austrian army was on another battlefield, forcing the 12,000 Prussian troops to surrender.
After experiencing successive defeats, Prussia could only choose to passively switch to defense.
And on the battlefield in Hanover.
The British commanders belatedly learned that their opponent, the French army led by Prince Subitz, had long been defeated by the troops led by Ling Chen.
At this time, they realized the horror of Ling Chen leading this army.
Prince Subiz's troops were divided into marches, and they had just learned the information.
But the Long Yan Army seemed to have known about it for a long time, and had prepared an ambush in advance to launch an attack.
From this point of view, France's defeat was not unreasonable. Britain can only be surprised at the speed and accuracy of the Long Yan Army's intelligence acquisition.
In comparison, their war intelligence acquisition seems so insignificant.
The French troops were settled, and Prussia's western battlefield temporarily found peace.
This gave Prussia a great stabilizing effect, but Longyan and Britain now only help Prussia maintain Hanover.
They will never interfere in battlefields in other areas.
At this time, Prussia's total combat strength in the entire European battlefield was only 110,000, which was not even as large as the number of Austrian troops in the southern battlefield.
At this time, the 12,000 troops deployed by Prussia in Silesili failed to withstand the attack of the Austrian army and were eventually completely wiped out.
After Frederick II, who was far away on the front line, heard the news, his heart numbed by defeat trembled.
But the crisis they face now is also huge.
Frederick II had discovered the Russian-Austrian troops following them secretly.
He must get rid of the Russian-Austrian coalition following them as soon as possible.
Otherwise, what awaits their troops may be a devastating blow.
Frederick II used the jungle to confuse his opponents.
Separate the team and create the possibility of marching in multiple directions in the woods.
General Lacey, who led the Russian and Austrian forces in hot pursuit, received a report from the scouts.
"Report to the general, the Prussian army is marching in multiple directions, should we pursue it?"
General Lacey frowned when he heard this information, but as he expected, it was normal for the other party's troops to discover their traces.
Even if a troop of 20,000 people is perfectly hidden, such a large group of people are marching.
There can be no movement at all.
"Get the map."
Two soldiers brought the table and spread the map flatly on it.
This area was a jungle along the river. In order to march secretly, General Lacey did not follow Frederick II's troops too closely.
It just keeps the opponent's troops from sight of your own troops.
However, this was only a temporary measure. In order to facilitate General Lacey's observation, the scouts marked Frederick II's march route on the map.
General Lacey looked at the chaotic marching route, which seemed to be disorganized, but if he wanted to extend it along this marching route.
It is not difficult to find that every route is a good marching route, and no matter which one of these marching routes is chosen, it is true.
General Lacey had no way of inferring from such a march route which one was the real Prussian march route.
He frowned slowly. If all his troops were to follow him, their strength would be dispersed.
If the Prussian troops were attacked during this process, it would be a failed operation.
After thinking of this, General Lacey decided to give up tracking the Prussian troops and instead surrounded them on the road ahead.
This is his last chance.
After thinking of this, General Lacey immediately mobilized his troops.
Although the march route of the Prussian troops was extremely messy, the final attack target of the Prussian troops was easily known.
At this time, the large Russian-Austrian coalition forces were attacking Silesili.
This was by far the most important place in Prussia, and the entire war revolved around this area.
Silesia was simply too rich for Frederick II to watch the region decline.
Therefore, he decided to surround the Prussian troops on the only road to Silesili.
After the siege force led by General Lacey made a plan, Naresh added troops to their force.
By the time General Lacey began the operation, their force had reached a strength of 40,000 men.
Frederick II had 32,000 troops at his disposal.
This seems to give General Lacey a better chance of winning.
But the reconnaissance skills learned by Frederick II from Long Yanjun came in handy.
Their troops were the first to detect General Lacey's efforts to surround them.
Frederick II decided to take a preemptive strike and get rid of General Lacey's encirclement at a faster speed.
He made the decision.
"We sneak attack their current supply column, forcing them to look for supplies, and we can take advantage of the time to get rid of their troops."
According to General Lacey's plan, their supply column marched first and kept a distance from the main army.
Form mutual care between the two troops to avoid encountering surprise attacks in the jungle.
They were not very familiar with the terrain of this jungle.
But this gave Frederick II a chance.
Frederick II, who had long known General Lacey's marching movements, launched an attack on Lacey's troops without any scruples.
Their forces split into two armies and attacked.
Frederick II personally led the main force to have an 'unexpected encounter' with General Lacey's main force.
After General Lacey saw the main force led by Frederick II, he immediately made a decision to attack the Prussian troops. This battle was impossible to avoid.
With this battle, their containment plan was completely ruined.
Prussia's military strength was far inferior to the troops led by General Lacey.
After General Lacey saw Frederick II discovering his troops, he gave up the battle and led a group of defeated soldiers into the jungle madly, without even noticing the swamp around them.
Seeing the appearance of Frederick II's troops, General Lacey did not raise any suspicion.
Ever since Long Yan decided not to continue to provide military assistance to Prussia, but only to provide financial and weapons assistance.
Their troops were retreating steadily.
Even now, the number of troops they can mobilize is only 110,000.
Such troops are simply pitiful.
These defeated troops may have been Frederick II's last troops.
After thinking of this, General Lacey could not let them go. They immediately launched an attack to attack the Prussian troops who were fleeing in a hurry.
But General Lacey overlooked one thing. They were not that familiar with this jungle.
The distance between their main army and their supply troops is getting wider and wider.
At this time, the Prussian troops, who had long been hiding in the dark, launched an attack on General Lacey's supply troops.
