Lasalle looked at the Austrian tents with confusion.
"What the hell? Why are they burning their tents?"
Usually, burning tents is something they'd do when the military situation is urgent and there's no time for a leisurely retreat.
Before Lasalle, the entire Adige River Valley was filled with thick smoke from the Austrians burning their tents.
The smoke was so thick that Lasalle could hardly see the movements of the Austrian forces.
It was then that Lasalle finally remembered to report this anomaly to General Frost.
After the messenger soldier dispatched by Lasalle sped off into the snowy plains, he continued to observe the movements of the Austrian forces.
The melting snow from the burnt tents flowed into the Adige River, causing the already low water level to become much more turbulent.
After watching for a long time, Lasalle finally confirmed something: "The Austrians, they are going to run! But why?"

Anning: "But why? Why are they running away?"
