"Yes, General!"
Colonel Haydn saluted with his hat and galloped away to convey the orders to the messenger.
General Wilmze pulled the curtain down and smiled at General Ernst, the Bavarian Army commander sitting opposite him, "The Marquis of Walschstaet's troops were still in Cologne yesterday; he certainly didn't expect us to arrive in Liege so quickly."
The Marquis of Walschstaet was none other than the Prussian General Blucher, who had once led his troops to intervene in the Dutch Patriot Party uprising. He was currently the vanguard of the Duke of Brunswick.
Ernst nodded in agreement, "Even if the Prussian Army starts a forced march immediately, they will encounter Colonel Muzil's blockade at Luneburg. We have at least a week to deal with the rebels in Liege."
