Among the French Cavalry, a few who understood German heard the shout of the camp leader and immediately joined in the loud shouting.
Grouchy initially only intended to bolster his own momentum, but unexpectedly, this shout had an unforeseen effect.
The truth was that the Austrian Army was truly afraid after the previous battles with Napoleon.
Particularly, nearly half of the Austrian left wing soldiers had participated in the Toulon campaign before. They immediately recalled that whenever the French suddenly charged, their side would swiftly retreat.
Thus, the "Toulon Veterans" began to flee first.
The soldiers Melas brought from Switzerland saw this and were more convinced that they were under a massive French surprise attack, quickly following suit in retreat.
Just like that, over 7,000 Austrian soldiers were chased around by more than 1,000 French Hussars, and the entire Austrian left wing began to collapse.
