Vitgenstein instructed the staff to gather these horses, and then turned his attention to the most important issue at hand—
Where did Madaliniski's forty thousand troops go?
He had someone bring a map, frowned and pondered for a long time, suddenly his eyelid twitched: "Damn it! Could it be the Poles are fleeing toward Kaluga?"
Kaluga is southeast of Dorogobuzh, a relatively affluent city around Moscow.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt it was so.
The Poles must be starving, preferring to abandon a large number of horses to lure their army to move west, creating a gap in the south.
Then they quickly headed south to Kaluga to snatch food!
Sweat seeped from Vitgenstein's forehead.
The south side of Madaliniski is his defense zone. If the Poles slip to Kaluga, he will definitely bear the greatest responsibility...
He hurriedly shouted to the order officer beside him: "Nikolayevich, order the whole army to move south immediately!"
"Yes, General!"
