Chapter 288 South Gate

The ministers and guards also followed Charles VI, leaving only the Duke of Ji'an standing on the city tower. The cold wind blew, but it seemed that Charles VI could not disperse the words left here.

"What kind of emperor style is not because your surname is Habsburg, you can sit in this position." The Duke of Ji'an rolled his eyes and said helplessly. As soon as he said this rather disrespectful word, it was blown away by the night wind all over the sky, leaving no trace.

"Oh, if necessary, you can take action directly, knock the emperor unconscious and take it out of the city immediately, don't stay in Vienna." Duke Ji'an suddenly said this, and there was a dimness around him, no one could be seen, as if he was talking to himself.

"As for orders, sir."

A voice suddenly sounded from the corner of the city tower. I looked at it carefully and found that there was a faceless man wearing a black robe standing there.

In fact, the faceless man stood there from the beginning, but he did not make any movement from beginning to end, and even breathed to the slowest, just like the lifeless bricks on the city wall.

There were so many people standing on the city tower just now, except for the Duke of Ji'an, no one showed his presence. Only when he knew that he spoke at this moment showed some sense of existence.

After receiving the command, the faceless person disappeared into the darkness again, like a shadow, silent.

The Duke of Ji'an glanced at the faceless man, nodded slightly, and then walked down the city wall.

These more than a hundred faceless people, combined with the powerful and efficient intelligence system, can exponentially increase their power. At some moments, the role they can play is even an army of more than 10,000 people.

On the line of defense in front of the city of Vienna, General Ike also sent his answer to the military camp in Prussia. Keiros stood in the military tent, listening to the report of his soldiers with a gloomy face.

General Ike's answer was not beyond his expectations, but the shouts of soldiers on the defense surprised him a little.

After listening to the report, Keiros glanced slightly, showed a disdainful smile, and said coldly: "Haha, I really don't know how to live or die. Since he wants to die, let's help them!"

"Send the order, the entire army will rest today, and launch a direct attack at noon tomorrow. I will take down the southern gate of Vienna in one fell swoop!"

Keiros's right hand palm was clenched into a fist, as if he had held Vienna's life gate, his face full of ferociousness.

Several commanders immediately left the camp and passed the orders of Keiros to various parts of the army. Shortly after the order was issued, the entire Prussian military camp fell silent.

All the soldiers were seizing this last opportunity to rest and prepare for tomorrow's war. The quieter this moment is, how crazy it will be during the war.

The cliff defense line where General Alan is stationed is the southern gate of Vienna.

As the central city of the Habsburg Dynasty, Vienna took into account the defense conditions at the beginning of its establishment. The chosen city building location can not only defend the enemy's attack, but also very conducive to the future development of the entire city.

To the north of the city is the wide Danube River, which flows rapidly on the Danube, which is a natural barrier that can withstand most of the enemies for Vienna.

Just like the cavalry legion of Duke Billon, no matter how strong their combat effectiveness is, they can only bypass from the north and attack from the Southern Avenue.

In the south of Vienna is a stretch of mountains. This mountain range is the end of the Alps. Its overall altitude is not high, but its terrain is very steep.

Except for a road opened directly to Vienna, other places are blocked by dense forests and cliffs. The terrain is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is an excellent defensive place, so it is also known as the southern gate of Vienna.

Of course, General Ike would not give up such a great natural defense line. From the beginning, he arranged a large number of soldiers on the cliff to block the enemy based on the terrain.

It was precisely through this line of defense that he blocked the attack of the Saxony Cavalry and also gave the enemy a heavy blow.

However, this situation will inevitably lead to a turning point with the joining of the Prussian Legion.

The Prussian Legion's troops are very reasonable, including heavy shield infantry that are leading the way forward, archers that carry out long-range strikes, and even musketeers brigades in independent formations. With the combination of each other, the combat power that can be exponentially increased.

More importantly, these soldiers are suitable for strong attacks and defense lines. They do not want Saxon's cavalry to reduce their combat effectiveness when attacking.

The defenders on the defense line will not have much advantage against such soldiers, and this slight advantage alone is not enough to narrow the number gap between the two sides.

No matter how strong the morale of the defensive army was, there was almost no possibility of defending the defense line. General Ike knew this very well. He knew that if he didn't do anything, tomorrow's defensive battle would inevitably suffer a crushing defeat.

After concentrating on his mind and thinking for a while, a sharp light lit up in General Ike's eyes. He finally made up his mind and whispered to the messenger who was on standby in the camp: "Go, come and find the captain of the cavalry team for me!"

With a command, the messenger rushed out immediately. Because he ran too fast, he accidentally hit the pillar next to the camp. The battle was imminent. Even this small messenger was already very nervous and entered a state of war.

After a while, several captains of the cavalry team entered the camp one after another. The battlefield defense was not conducive to the cavalry's battle, so these cavalry were always left in Vienna by General Ike. Apart from the battle to siege the Saxony Eagle Feather Legion that day, they had not fought a few decent battles.

The cavalry captains had long been eager to fight. The cavalry should be the most eye-catching existence on the battlefield, but they were like pearls covered with dust. They never had the opportunity to sway their value, and they were also quite depressed.

As soon as General Ike's orders were received, the cavalry captains immediately cheered in unison. They were eager to fight, to make achievements, and to achieve themselves. This was a group of bloody cavalry. Judging from the momentum alone, they were not weaker than the strongest Eagle Feather Cavalry regiment in Saxony.

However, according to General Ike's plan, they still need to temporarily suppress their murderous intent and wait until they get the orders before they can launch an attack.

Time passed by little by little, and the bonfire in the military camp faded little by little, and the voices gradually disappeared, leaving only the whistling sound of the strong wind.

At about four o'clock in the morning, all the stars gradually disappeared, and only the Qiming star in the sky shone more and more. The darkest time before dawn came, and the surroundings gradually became invisible.
