Victor's deputy shouted urgently: "The northeastern front is easy to defend but difficult to attack. How could the Prussian army fall so quickly?"

The messenger did not dare to speak.

Victor frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "We only have five thousand defenders in the northeast corner. Although it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is still too far away from our main force."

Hearing what Marshal Victor said, the deputy suppressed his anger and said angrily: "Please give the general order, I will lead troops to support."

"No, spread our forces and don't give the Prussian troops a chance to annihilate them in one fell swoop."

The deputy was stunned and immediately understood Marshal Victor's intention.

Their strength was less than 30,000, and the Prussian army was only a little over 20,000, which was even less than their strength.

The terrain of this valley is complex. If the troops are dispersed, it will be very difficult for the Prussian army to defeat them with one force.

But if the troops are dispersed, the weakness of the Prussian army's small strength will be completely exposed.

There will always be a few units that are smaller in strength than the Austrian army and will be at a disadvantage.

Moreover, if the Prussian troops continue to be in such a disadvantaged state, this battle will undoubtedly be lost.

However, General Victor did not expect that after Frederick II attacked the northeastern front, he did not advance as he imagined.

Instead, he spread his troops around the northeastern front like a semicircle.

Frederick II divided his army into several parts, each with its own tasks.

And these parts only need to work together to exert huge power.

Some are responsible for attacking, some are responsible for defending, and some are responsible for cleaning the battlefield...

Faced with such a weird fighting method, Marshal Victor looked gloomy: "This must be the fighting method taught to Frederick by the Long Yan people!"

Marshal Victor cursed in his heart: Damn Liu Zheng, after playing Teresa, he did not mention supporting their military power, but still gave Frederick II such a fighting method.

Liu Zheng, who was far away in Longyan, sneezed several times for some reason.



Frederick II's battle quickly achieved results. His general launched the first attack from the east.

Two brigades mobilized fifty-five cannons and bombarded the valley.

Attracting Austria's firepower, and under the cover of artillery, the Prussian troops detoured from a remote valley and inserted themselves into Austria's main position!

The Austrian army was not completely aware of such a small move by the Prussian army.

Just when the Austrian army was tired of dealing with the Prussian troops, they suddenly launched an attack due north.

The Manteuffel Brigade also cooperated in the attack, which was a unit of the Prussian army.

Three lines of Prussian troops attacked the Austrian army in a pincer-shaped offensive.

The main target of their attack, Austrian general O'Kelly, was defeated and forced to withdraw from the line.

Marshal Victor looked at the mess on the battlefield. Their Austrian front was on the verge of collapse from three directions.

The scattered Austrian army was unable to resist the Prussian troops who were divided into several parts but fought together.

In desperation, Marshal Victor could only order: "Withdraw."

At this point, the battle did not start for too long. This small but very meaningful battle finally ended with the retreat of the Austrian army.

Post-war statistics showed that the Austrian army of less than 30,000 people lost only 2,000 people, and the Prussian army lost 1,600 people. The number of soldiers killed on both sides was not too many.

But Marshal Victor, this experienced commander, discovered the clues at the beginning of the battle.

The Austrian army has fallen into Frederick II's trap. If they continue to fight, the Austrian army will definitely suffer massive casualties.

Frederick II's initial strategy for them was to destroy the Austrian troops, but to capture the Bocksdorf Fortress.

Now it is clear that they achieved this goal.

The fortress of Böcksdorf was successfully captured by Frederick II's strategic attack.

The Austrian army had no choice but to withdraw from Silesi, bringing the war to a final end.

Before Victor withdrew his troops, he took one last look at the scenery of Silisili. Silisili, which was once rich and had beautiful scenery, was now devastated by the war.

His withdrawal is likely to mean that Austria will forever lose its favored princess-like place.

Marshal Victor, an old and decisive general, only took away a handful of soil from Silesili.

As the battle comes to an end, everything will be finalized.

At this point, Prussia captured all the fortresses in Silesi and forced the 10,000 Austrian garrison to surrender. Frederick II successfully occupied this place that they dreamed of.

This is something worth celebrating, but Frederick II looked back on his own country, Prussia, which he once considered a fragmented German country.

It was not unified because of this war. On the contrary, his dream of including Saxony in his territory was completely shattered because of Long Yan's intervention.

His people also suffered countless casualties as a result of this war. It can be said that the army has no veterans or recruits since the war.

Frederick II felt sad and happy at the same time. He looked at his troops and saw many unfamiliar faces.

The war was over, and he was tired. Frederick II loudly announced to his soldiers: "It's over, the war is over!"

"it's all over!"-

"Prussia will usher in a new era!"



The news of Prussia's decisive battle with Austria in Silesili quickly spread throughout the world like a tornado!

The overseas battlefields in Longyan, Britain, and France have also come to an end.

Tsarist Russia withdrew its troops, Austria was defeated, and other European countries also extracted themselves from the quagmire of the war.

The Archduke of Austria and Queen Teresa of Hungary were the first to receive the news. After hearing that her country had been defeated, the entire Vienna fell into a long period of loneliness.

Austrian people took to the streets to march, and countless poets and singers wrote their own songs of mourning.

Artists carved their saddest works.

They even considered this day a shame for Austria.

The carving of Teresa’s portrait should be placed on the Pillar of Shame!

Faced with the accusations of thousands of people, the scorn of thousands of people, and the tremendous pressure, Teresa could only turn her melancholy into a sigh.

"Grand Duke, these ignorant people have no idea what you have endured!"

Teresa shook her head and said: "Forget it, I was the one who started the war. It's time to end it all..."

She took out an invitation letter from Long Yan.

It says that Your Excellency Teresa, the Chief Minister of our country Liu Zheng, sincerely invites you to the city of Paris. Long Yan is willing to be the mediator of this war.



On the other side, Louis XV, who was also a participant in the war, also received an invitation letter from Long Yan.

"Liu Zheng is so brave. He wants to be the mediator, but he doesn't even notify me and sets the negotiation venue in Paris!"

"If I agree, France will be nothing!" Louis XV said one after another.

The minister under him said solemnly: "Your Majesty, please agree. We need to cooperate with Long Yan now. Our overseas colonies are now cut off by Long Yan. If we don't cooperate with Long Yan anymore..."

"We in France will decline from now on!"
