The cavalry on both sides collided, and immediately splashed a piece of dust and blood. The horse's hooves were intertwined with each other. The sound of jingling soldiers and warriors was heard everywhere, and from time to time, the screams of the horse knights were mixed.

The soldiers guarding the city who were fleeing to the Vienna gate stopped and looked back to observe the battle situation. They saw that although the number of cavalry holding their own flag was small, they occupied the initiative of attack. Just like a group of barbarian bulls crashed into the flock of sheep, it instantly disrupted the charge formation of the Prussian cavalry.

"Don't stop, you retreat quickly. When the army retreats to the city, the cavalry army can retreat!"

General Ike stood in the crowd and ordered loudly, and stopped the soldiers who wanted to turn back to help the battle. Now that his own cavalry blocked the enemy, it was the best time to retreat.

It is about five kilometers away from the hillside to the Vienna city gate. The defenders on the defense line evacuated earlier, and now they have advanced about three kilometers and can enter the city soon.

Hearing General Ike's words, the retreating soldiers could understand the interests and stopped stopping and rushed towards the Vienna walls.

The distance between two kilometers is not long. At the speed of the army retreating, all of them can be retreated to the city in only ten minutes at most.

After General Ike gave the order, he left the place with about a hundred personal guards, preparing to receive the return of his cavalry army.

The cavalry legion of Habsburg was indeed brave. He attacked the cavalry legion of five thousand light and heavy cavalry with two thousand numbers. He did not have the slightest fear of avoiding the battle. His fierce look seemed to be a group of lambs waiting to be slaughtered on the other side, and could not pose any threat to them.

Judging from the current combat situation, perhaps the cavalry legion only needs to pay a very small price to hold the opponent's large army, and may even cause a large number of casualties to the Prussian legion.

The commander of the Prussian Cavalry Legion was also very good. After a few orders, he calmed down the chaos of the cavalry team as much as possible, and then patroled and assembled the Light Cavalry Brigade and the Habsburg cavalry team rushed to fight.

From a distance, a complete melee has begun near the exit of Central Avenue. The two sides overlapped with each other, and it was impossible to tell which side had the advantage. Only seeing both sides fighting desperately.

General Ike stood in the distance and was also watching the battle situation ahead. This stalemate situation was exactly what he wanted to see. As long as he could entangle the Prussian cavalry and let them have no time to divide their troops to stop the withdrawal, the purpose of this operation was achieved.

As for the safety of the cavalry legion, General Eke was not worried. It was impossible for the five thousand light and heavy cavalry in Prussia to surround the light cavalry on his side. As long as the place was settled, he could order the light cavalry to withdraw.

In that case, even if the light cavalry legion is less damaged, the number will not be too large.

After a while, General Ike turned around and saw that most of the infantry had retreated to the city, so he said to the messenger beside him: "Send a signal, you can withdraw the cavalry army."

The messenger nodded and waved to the companions beside him. The people took a package from their waists, and then ran to the open space in front to pile up the packages together.

After a few people avoided some distance, General Ike's messenger pulled a bow and arrow to wrap the arrow in an oil cloth to ignite it, and then shot an arrow onto the piled packages.

After the package was stained with flames, a spark immediately appeared, and then suddenly exploded to form a huge cloud of smoke, and at the same time it made a loud noise that shook the sky.

boom!

This sound was so huge that it instantly overwhelmed all the sounds on the battlefield.

This is how the Habsburg Legion issued retreat orders to the cavalry. On the battlefield, most other orders were conveyed through horns. Only the order to retreat was the loud noise produced when the gunpowder exploded.

Just like when the cavalry raided the Prussian camp last night, in the chaotic battle, only this huge way can the cavalry get the news accurately.

The soldiers of the Habsburg Cavalry Legion fighting ahead heard the loud noise and immediately understood, so they found their teammates one after another, and then covered each other to prepare for retreat.

The commander of the Prussian cavalry could not let them retreat easily. He quickly surrounded them from both sides, trying to leave all the Habsburg cavalry here.

However, they did not have much advantage in terms of numbers, and they lost some of the previous shocks, so it was a fantasy to siege the cavalry team of Habsburg just by relying on the remaining cavalry.

Seeing the situation on the battlefield ahead, General Ike finally smiled on his face, and the cavalry team should be able to retreat soon.

Although they were the failed side in this battle, the loss of troops was not too serious. During the retreat, most of the infantry retreated from the hillside.

With such results, the cavalry team played a great role in blocking the enemy, which can be said to be an indelible contribution.

Otherwise, if the cavalry of the Prussian Legion chased him, how could the fleeing infantry resist the charged cavalry? In that case, the losses would inevitably be extended to an unbearable level.

So those Habsburg cavalry are definitely the heroes in this battle, and everyone deserves an imperial medal of merit.

"Okay, it seems that there is no problem, so let's withdraw too."

General Ike chuckled, then waved his hand, and turned around and walked towards the Vienna gate.

The personal guards beside him also followed and were about to retreat to the city first. At this moment, a general next to General Ike suddenly exclaimed: "What is that!?"

This sudden scream stopped General Ike who was about to leave. He frowned and turned around and looked. After seeing it, his face suddenly became ugly.

I saw a large area of ​​smoke and dust suddenly spread on the hillside on the west side of the Central Avenue in front, and a black figure was wrapped in the gray dust, as if a devil was in it.

"No! This is the movement that only cavalry charges!" Seeing this scene, General Ike couldn't help but exclaim. After years of fighting, he certainly understood what the smoke and dust was like: "From the scale, there are only tens of thousands of people charging!"

The general who discovered the abnormality just now was also stunned. He stared at the place where smoke and dust spread, and murmured with a twitching corner of his mouth: "Saxony..."

"Damn it, we're going back to save them!" General Ike roared, his eyes immediately turned red.

Judging from the speed of the smoke and dust spreading, these cavalry charges very quickly, and the cavalry legions in Habsburg would not have time to evacuate, and they would be rushed into the formation.
Chapter completed!
