News of Wedel's defeat quickly spread back to Prussia.
When Frederick II received the news, he was first shocked, but sometimes sad and angry.
He did not deny Wedel's bravery, but he resented his stupidity.
From the battle report, we can clearly understand the circumstances under which Wedel marched.
Knowing that the war might break out ahead, they did not give the soldiers any time to rest.
Even without surveying the terrain, any fool knows that before entering an unfamiliar combat environment, one needs to survey the terrain first.
Use this to ensure the safety of the surrounding area and make the most suitable combat plan.
But instead of doing this, Wedel continued to march hastily, which ultimately led to the failure of the battle.
Frederick II was heartbroken. This was not only a defeat, it also meant that Prussia had lost control of the Oder River area and they would have no chance of defending.
But now the pain has no effect, and the loss must be stopped in time to prevent the loss from continuing to expand.
Frederick II made a quick decision: "Send troops to contact Wedel's old troops first. We need them."
"Re-send the troops to intercept and write a letter to Saxony immediately. We need more assistance from the Long Yan Army."
"We also need to detach troops to prevent sudden attacks by the Holy Crusaders and Italian troops..."
Frederick II's whole head was enlarged, but there was no solution.
In fact, Frederick II did not want to ask for help from Long Yan now, because Long Yan occupied Saxony, and the treaty Liu Zheng signed with Saxony had already turned Saxony into his vassal state.
This was difficult for Frederick II to accept.
But under the current situation, Frederick II had to ask for help from Long Yan and Britain. Britain is still at war with Sweden.
They may not send troops, but only provide financial support.
But Long Yan has now accumulated troops in Saxony, and they will definitely be able to send troops to support them at this time.
And Saxony at this time.
After Liu Zheng left, Li Hongtian took over the affairs of Saxony. Two hours ago, Li Hongtian had received information about the battle situation in the Oder River area.
He immediately wrote a letter to inform King Yong, who came to reinforce his troops, to tell him not to act rashly.
They came to conquer Europe, not to help Frederick II strengthen his country.
This time, the target of Tsarist Russia and Austria's attack was Prussia, which had nothing to do with their Dragon Flame. There was no need for them to spend too much energy on areas that had little to do with their own interests.
At the same time, Li Hongtian also made other decisions and did not intend to give Prussia much help in this matter, because this was not in line with their interests, Long Yan.
But just after Li Hongtian did this, the envoy sent by Frederick II arrived in Saxony two days later.
In order to highlight the importance of this meeting with Long Yan, Frederick II sent his younger brother, Prince Ferlandi, who would represent all Prussian interests in negotiating with Long Yan.
Li Hongtian naturally gave Prince Ferlandi an extraordinary reception, but he didn't pay much attention to him.
Regarding the fighting in the Oder River area, there was not a word about assistance.
After three days of this, even a fool would be able to detect Long Yan's attitude.
On the fourth day, Prince Ferlandi couldn't bear it anymore and said directly to Li Hongtian: "If Long Yan still regards us as Prussia's ally, please help us resist the threats from Austria and Tsarist Russia."
