Northwest of Lake Lucerne, Suvorov was leading 50,000 Russian Army troops rapidly back along their original route.
In fact, he had already withdrawn from the Wädenswil battlefield at noon that day.
Yes, two days earlier, he had guessed that the French Army might have more than one ambush site. Then, when he quickly noticed that the enemy had adopted a defensive posture against Rosenberg's force of fewer than 30,000 men, he immediately judged that other French forces might strike at him.
Holding to the principle of attack first, he immediately recalled his main force and wheeled around to pounce on the enemy behind him.
Based on experience, he guessed that the French would not deploy at Schwyz. It was too close to Blücher, making it easy for the Russian and Prussian forces to join hands.
So they had most likely come from the direction of Volhynia.
He then attacked toward the northwest at top speed, intending to catch the French Army off guard and swiftly crush them.
After that, he could lead his troops back to Wädenswil and slowly devour the French forces there.
If Blücher moved quickly enough to lend him a hand from the flank, they might even wipe out the French Army in Switzerland entirely.
That evening, the Suvorov Legion received bread and Wine transported from Zug City, Switzerland—the Federal Parliament's orders had still had some effect.
Since there was no need to wait for supplies, he ordered the Soldiers to march another two kilometers before making camp to rest.
Early the next morning, Suvorov's army continued hurrying toward Volhynia.
By his estimate, even if the French Army at Wädenswil discovered him and immediately sent word to Volhynia, it would take at least a full day.
Then the French Army at Volhynia would begin a Forced March.
