After the first and second Prussian Army groups surrounded Metz, Chief of Staff Mao Qi began strategic adjustments, drawing ninety thousand men from the two main groups to form the fourth army group, the Meuse Army Group.
The Fourth Army Group was commanded by Saxon Crown Prince Albert, who had participated in the previous Prussian-Austrian War and showed outstanding combat performance.
It can be said that the German nobility earned their status through real battles; whenever a war is imminent, the nobility will always lead from the front.
Albert led the Fourth Army Group to assist the Third Army Group in capturing and destroying MacMahon's forces, ensuring that there was not a significant troop disparity.
At this time, the Third Prussian Army Group was crossing the Vosges Mountains in pursuit of McMahon's Corps, and the deeper they went, the more challenging the advancement became.
