"What? You want to blow up the embankment? Crazy, really crazy!"
Wang Huaiyuan really didn't expect Xiao Letian to be so crazy. "Now I understand why you ordered everyone to retreat to the city walls and high-rise buildings. It turns out it's because of flooding..."
"This is a strategy of perish together! How can this be possible? We will be trapped here alive..."
Wang Huaiyuan paced back and forth like an ant on a hot pot. "How do you judge the level of the water level? Is a three-meter city wall and a five- or six-meter-high building safe enough?"
"And after the enemy is flooded, will they attack us crazily?"
"The most terrible thing is, even if the flooding is successful, we will definitely be safe? What if the enemy has an ambush outside? What if they use boats to continue attacking us?"
"It's a dead end with no ammunition left! We don't have much ammunition left! If we are surrounded by floods, the French follow-up troops will easily kill us all!"
"Oh my God! Why don't you leave! Why don't you break out!"
Wang Huaiyuan was completely anxious today, "I can't listen to you anymore. You are related to the survival of the Chinese nation as a whole. You can't have any accidents! I'll ask Hingtaro to lead the sword-drawing team to clear the way for you, even if it's a one in ten thousand chance. You have to rush out too!”
At this time, Xiao Letian suddenly reached out and grabbed Wang Huaiyuan's wrist and said softly, "Stop shouting, the best time to break out has passed, we have no time!"
"At this time, you can only choose to believe in me, just like you did when you were in Taihang Mountain and Ryukyu. Believe in me without hesitation! When have I ever let you down?"
Xiao Letian pointed at the wolf-like French cavalry outside the town, and suddenly said with emotion, "Don't you really see the weirdness? Why are the attacking troops so tenacious?"
"We have fought against the Tsarist Russian Cossacks, and fought against the Austrian noble divisions! We have never seen powerful armies in Europe. Why are the French troops so crazy today?"
Xiao Letian said excitedly, "Take a look for yourself, take a good look! Is this army the same as the French army we encountered before? Their fearlessness and fearlessness are exactly the same as when we fought in the bloody battle in Ryukyu!"
"I have to understand what's going on with this army? What's the reason behind this? If I don't understand the truth behind this, I won't rest in peace!"
"You want me to be a deserter at this time? If I escape, from now on, the seeds of shameful failure will be planted in my mind! God knows when he will take root and sprout!"
"Including our Chinese soldiers, if they lose this time, they will have a psychological shadow when they face the French cavalry again in the future!"
"Never underestimate every failure, it will be a shame in our military history!"
"And this shame will become the weakness of our strong military bloodline and the darkest gene!"
"You can let me retreat, but I have to understand the truth first! This is what I want!"
Xiao Letian's roar shocked Wang Huaiyuan. These words really touched him. The Chinese had fought against the brutal Cossacks and fought against the arrogant Austrian noble divisions, but they had never been so useless!
why? Not just because the Chinese are a new force, a strong and iron-blooded army with ideals in their hearts! More importantly, this army never fights an unprepared battle!
All opponents must be studied carefully and war games conducted carefully. The Chinese staff of each enemy must design multiple plans to choose from!
There are too many temples, so naturally you are not afraid of wild ghosts!
But today is different. The powerful combat effectiveness and fearless spirit of this French cavalry were something that no one had expected in advance!
No such accident has been predicted in any war game, let alone such a strong army. Sudden changes are as uncomfortable as meeting a ghost when walking at night!
Wang Huaiyuan must admit that what the head of state said makes sense. Winning or losing in a war is a common matter for military strategists. Winning or losing is not certain, and there is no shame in retreating.
But the only thing you can't do is make a mistake, and you can't just become a deserter without knowing anything. If you can't find the crux of the problem, you can only plant the seeds of confusion in the hearts of the soldiers.
Once this poisonous seed is sown, how will we face the French cavalry or enemies in the same situation in the future?
If you fail once, you will fail ten times a hundred times!
"That's it, that's it! I can't help you. It's too late to retreat now anyway... You gave up your best chance to break out, so just leave everything to fate!"
Wang Huaiyuan leaned on the railing and shouted, "Everyone retreat to the upper floors of the building! Stay along all the stairs... The head of state will have an hour, and now twenty-five minutes have passed!"
"Remember what the European soldiers said about us!"
"The Chinese are good at guarding! This is the reputation we have created! Let me see if you will lose this reputation today!"
The provocation method aroused the bloodiness of all the soldiers who were fighting fiercely, especially the veterans who came to Europe for the second time, and they shouted fanatically in front of the battle.
"On the Stone Bridge Highlands, the Austrians we fought were full of teeth! Even their noble divisions were no match for us!"
"No one will be treated as a coward today! Defend to the death! Fight to the last soldier!"
"Hold on! Kill!" The most fanatical roar erupted from the town of Suni!
Alfred's eyes darkened with anger as he looked at the high-spirited Syni, "Damn it! More than twenty minutes have passed since the siege, and you haven't even exploded the city wall!"
"Are you worthy of the glory of your ancestors? Think about your ancestors, do you still have the face to face them?"
"If you can't, I'll do it!"
Alfred galloped towards the front line and drew out his sharp saber. "All officers and nobles! Fight with me! Leave no back, until death!"
If one general fights to the death, ten thousand men will follow!
When all the French troops saw that the commander-in-chief was fighting, they were not to be outdone. All the officers with titles rushed to the front of the soldiers.
"All officers and nobles... charge forward!"
"If we must die today, let us die at the front!"
There have always been timid generals, but no timid soldiers!
Soldiers never care about their own lives. As long as you, as an officer, are willing to die in front of you, whoever is afraid of death will be an earthworm in his pants!
The 10,000 cavalrymen finally unleashed their full potential at this moment. They stepped on the corpses of their companions and rushed forward. They were piled in bundles under the city wall. There were too many people to kill them.
"No... Gatling's ammunition has been used up! Gatling has no ammunition..."
At this most critical moment, the most life-saving heavy firepower used up all the bullets, and the firepower density on the city wall suddenly dropped sharply!
A French captain covered in blood, with the family crest on his chest, his face covered in blood showing two rows of white teeth, he was laughing at death!
"Long live the Empire! Long live His Majesty the Emperor!" The seriously injured captain lit it on fire, and at this time the sniper's bullet also penetrated his head.
The corpse fell on it, but it was still burning!
Note: Why are the French Noble Legion so different from the Austrian Noble Legion? The answer will be revealed in the following chapters!
The book Hidden Dragon is an imaginary history, but the flavor in it is real. I have already dismantled most of the Franco-Prussian War for you, and we will continue to dismantle it later.
There are always a lot of things to understand!
