Chapter 3886
Frederick II had to consider their morale and rebuild their fighting spirit.
Prevent this negative effect from being passed on to every Prussian soldier.
After investigating the movements of the Austrian troops, Frederick II finally knew which generals were leading the Austrian troops.
One is General Rausi of Austria, and the other is General Hadix who originally belonged to the Hungarian nobility.
Among the two troops, Frederick II undoubtedly chose the former.
The direction Haddix was heading was Silesili, where there were other Prussian troops, and they were not in a hurry to wipe him out at this time.
However, the direction of the Lausi troops was even more threatening.
Therefore, Frederick II made a decision to resolve the immediate crisis first and attack the troops of Lausi, the troops of independent Tsarist Russia.
Summon Haddix's troops to defeat them one by one and alleviate this crisis.
The Oder River is also an important river flowing through Prussia. Before the war, Frederick II had ordered someone to draw a topographic map.
Unexpectedly, it will finally come in handy now.
The terrain in the O'Ti River area is flat, and the best means of attack is an anti-cavalry raid, which does not require any fancy trap tactics.
Frederick II immediately gave the order to attack: "Attack!"
"Assault on Austrian troops led by Rausi."
After receiving the order, the Prussian troops led by Frederick II immediately gathered their troops to fight.
General Rausi, who was marching separately, did not know at this moment that he had been targeted by Frederick II.
During the march that day, the troops led by Rausi were suddenly attacked by Frederick II.
A battle ensued, but the originally divided Austrian forces had no advantage in strength.
Moreover, this battle happened suddenly, and the Austrian troops were torn apart by Frederick II's troops before they even had time to react.
The casualties they caused were very heavy.
General Rausi showed an astonishing level of calmness at this time: "Retreat immediately and never fight the Prussian troops."
After receiving the order to retreat, the Austrian troops dispersed.
There is no doubt that such a decision is wise.
The withdrawal of troops now is the best option for them.
But even so, Rausi's troops still suffered a heavy blow.
After breaking up Rausi's troops, Frederick II knew that it was impossible to annihilate all the retreating Austrian troops in the flat woods.
So Frederick II also chose to withdraw his troops.
This is the best option.
His goal has been achieved. It will be difficult for the current Lausi troops to reunite in a short time, and Haddix, who was separated from them, is not nearby.
Tsarist Russian troops were isolated.
After withdrawing his troops, Frederick II immediately mobilized his troops to attack Haddix's troops.
As long as Haddix's troops are wiped out, there will only be one Tsarist Russian army left.
At that time, the only enemy the Prussian troops faced was the Tsarist Russian troops whose tactics had lagged behind theirs. This was a cost-effective battle.
But what Frederick II didn't know was that just after they launched the surprise attack, Haddix's troops observed their march from a distance.
Discovering Frederick II's troops, Haddix immediately made preparations.
They lost their path of march and changed direction.
Although Haddix's troops lost the support of the Austrian supply line from the sea, it also cleverly avoided a battle with Frederick's troops.
