Alvizi only confirmed on the third day after Augsburg fell that there was a "gap" in the French Army's encirclement.
Then Alvizi's reaction greatly surprised Anning.
"It must be a trap!" Alvizi said with certainty, "Frost wouldn't be so careless as to leave such a flaw; it has to be a trap!"
Then Alvizi's Chief of Staff asked, "So what should we do?"
"Leaving the well-defended city is a dead end; in Ulm before, we successfully held off the enemy for two days! If each of our armies can hold on for two days, the French Army will be unable to proceed with their next move due to the heavy casualties!
"We must implement a resolute defensive strategy and absolutely not engage in an open field battle with the French Army!"
The officers under Alvizi looked at each other, no longer hiding their expressions: The Marshal was scared by the French Army.
Finally, everyone's gaze gathered on the Duke of Brunswick, Commander of the Prussian forces.
Probably, only he could convince Alvizi.
