As soon as An Ning finished speaking, several other army commanders entered the map room while chatting.
Morrow saw the potatoes on the table and asked in confusion: "Why are there so many potatoes on the map?"
An Ning: "Don't worry, I'm explaining to Rana where the commander should be at various times."
The officers looked at each other, and then said to An Ning together: "Then please be sure to tell us again."
An Ning: "Come on, Rana, to make sure you understand, come and tell me, I'll give you the potatoes!"
After saying that, he put the potato representing the commander into Rana's hand and stepped aside.
In fact, it wasn't a test of Rana at all, it was simply that he didn't want to talk about it again.
Rana: "Okay, let me tell you something. After all, this is just for me. Generally speaking, the commander has no right to let bullets touch him!"
Moreau: "But bullets don't have eyes..."
"Bullets don't have eyes, and you don't have eyes either?" Lana perfectly replicated An Ning's words one to one, "Aren't there heads on your shoulders? Use your heads!"
…
After this short interlude ended, An Ning returned to the front of the map table, and at the same time waved her hand and said to Fanny: "Take away the potatoes and apples, we are going to start talking about the next strategy."
After saying that, he waited for a while, giving Fanny time to take away all the potatoes, apples and everything on the map, and then started facing the map: "In the current situation, Lana has captured Augsburg, the main supply for the coalition forces.
The route has been cut off by us.
"But the coalition forces can still escape, because there are developed areas along the Danube River, the core areas of Bavaria and Austria, so there are many bridges, ferries, and water transportation on the Danube River. The Austrian army can still escape."
As he spoke, An Ning clicked several points along the Danube River with the pointer in his hand. Each click was a city with a ferry or a bridge.
"So we need to herd the coalition forces together like sheep, and finally block them on the river bank, and use the main stream and tributaries of the Danube River to create an encirclement!"
An Ning gestured on the map: "First, we have to create an illusion for the coalition forces, making them think they have discovered a loophole in our deployment, and at the same time take action to drive them to the ferry. Finally, our troops appeared on the opposite side of the ferry.
"The task of interception is left to Rana's Third Army, whose position is best suited for this task.
"Rana, you need to leave a small force to defend Augsburg, and at the same time collect a large number of supplies such as bread locally, creating the impression that there is a large army stationed around Augsburg.
"When cooking, you should light more fires in the camp and have enough smoke."
After all, An Ning is Chinese, so he didn't even need to think carefully about this set of deceptive tactics, he just said it directly.
After all, they are all stories I have heard since I was a child, about outsmarting people and so on, and now I can easily learn them at my fingertips.
Rana nodded: "I understand, but what if the enemy wants to cross the river from Augsburg?"
"No, the coalition forces don't have the guts to attack our fortified city. They don't have the guts."
An Ning said confidently.

At this time, Vienna...
Although Archduke Karl returned to Austria and was away from the battlefield, the situation on the front line was still the same.
After receiving the news that Augsburg had been captured, Karl went to Schönbrunn Palace overnight to meet his emperor brother.
When he saw Franz, the emperor was obviously unhappy.
Franz: "I'm already going to bed, why did you come into the palace at this time?"
"Augsburg was lost, and our army's supply line was cut off by Frost. If we don't react quickly at this time, Alvinci's army may be completely annihilated by Frost!" Karl couldn't help but raise his voice, "This kind of
Brother, can you still sleep at this time? After all Alvin's troops are annihilated, there will be no obstacle between Frost and Vienna!"
Franz: "Alvinci has 300,000 people, plus the Prussian army has a total of 400,000 people. Even if there are 400,000 pigs, the French army will take several months to capture them all."
"The army will surrender after being broken up, and even if some stragglers come back, it will take several months to reorganize into an army. This is enough time for the French army to reach Vienna! Do you want to give up Vienna?"
Franz became even more unhappy: "How could I give up Vienna? The Ottoman Sultan, with his Urban cannon, did not capture Vienna. How could he defeat just a Frost?"
Karl looked at his brother in shock: "What are you talking about? That was Ottoman...how many years ago was that? And it was thanks to Hungary and Poland and Lithuania that we were able to defend it. Poland no longer exists.
ah!"
Franz: "But isn't Hungary still there? Hungarian hussars are used throughout Europe, wearing Dormans. Vienna will not lose them."
Karl: "Brother! The top priority now is to immediately assemble our remaining troops to retake Augsburg. As long as we act fast enough, it is possible to do this.
"Or bring back the Bohemian legions...
"Frost likes small units to be interspersed. The enemy in Augsburg can only have one corps at most, or even one division. We want..."
Franz: "My brother, you are not the commander of our army now, nor the prime minister of the empire. You are just a prisoner who was captured by the French army and held for almost a year before being released. Instead of worrying about this, you might as well
Consider how you can contribute to Vienna's social scene to minimize the impact of your capture.
"And finding a suitable wife."
The Grand Duke's lips trembled slightly.
Franz continued: "Alvinzi performed well in the Battle of France. Although he did not defeat Frost, he still succeeded in withdrawing most of the troops.
"At that time, Frost still had the advantage of geographical location and strength. Now Alvinzi is fighting on our German soil and has the advantage of strength. He will handle it well.
"I'm going to sleep now!"
Franz rang the bell, and the chamberlain came in.
Franz: "Send the Grand Duke out of the palace."
The steward bowed slightly, then turned to the Grand Duke: "This way, Your Highness."
The Grand Duke shook his head, turned around and walked away angrily.
At this time, a terrible idea appeared in his mind.
But he shook his head and drove the thought away.
——No, I'm not a parricide beast, I can't do that kind of thing.
Even if that thing is good for Austria and HRE now.
I can only try my best to find ways to save this crisis. The Bohemian Army is my old army, maybe it can... yes, maybe it can...
