Udino said with a bitter expression: "Do we have to wait for the Prussians to surrender? I don't want to waste more than ten days in this damn place."
They had previously sent half a month's worth of food to Blucher, which, if rationed, could last nearly 20 days.
Massena frowned, starting to seriously consider the necessity of launching an assault on the Prussian defensive line.
But if it was just to save a dozen days, having soldiers suffer casualties was equally not worth it.
While he was hesitating, a courier hurried over and shouted loudly over here: "General, an enemy force has appeared east of Basel."
Massena and the others were immediately overjoyed, not understanding why the Allied Forces suddenly wanted to rescue Blucher again, but at least their efforts hadn't been in vain.
"Immediately notify General Sailu Li'er to move towards Basel," Massena instructed the order officer, "and order the soldiers to prepare for battle."
