"Speed up the speed, the whole army speed up..."
In the wildness of northern France, Xiao Letian was approaching the south at full speed under the protection of a guard of 200 people. All the horses were drained of their horsepower, and they were huffing and puffing out white smoke from their mouths and noses. Top novels are updated the fastest
The Prussian legions marching south were everywhere along the way. The whole legion began to march southward with no end in sight.
All French towns and villages were plunged into absolute fear. Every house was closed and everyone had their doors and windows nailed shut with wooden bars.
From the cracks in the wooden strips, you can see countless horrified eyes. The Prussian army, like a long queue, passed by their door, and the smoke and dust covered the sky.
The Prussian army has very strong discipline. Even the most tiring marches are disciplined. All infantry walk on both sides of the road. The area in the middle is the territory of the cavalry. The galloping cavalry regiment is heading south with all its strength. Attack Paris.
Every five kilometers or so, there is a supply station set up by the logistics department, which provides a large amount of light salt water for the soldiers to drink, and of course the horse feed needed for the war horses.
Civilian officers stood on ammunition boxes and were shouting to all the soldiers to boost morale, while countless engineers on both sides of the road were setting up telegraph lines.
"Prussian warriors... march towards Paris!"
"The despicable French Emperor has become a prisoner, and the proud hypocrites of Paris have become headless flies!"
"The day of revenge has come! The shame of Jena will be wiped away today!"
"Armed troops march into Paris...Military parade under the Arc de Triomphe! God bless Prussia!"
The high-pitched speech of the civilian officials inspired all the soldiers, "Long live! Long live! Long live..." The soldiers could not feel any fatigue in the roar. They had been so excited by the victory that they forgot themselves.
Xiao Letian ran away in such a crowd. When the voices and shadows of these Chinese soldiers appeared, more soldiers shouted "It's the Chinese...the flag of the Chinese head of state!"
"In the city of Sedan, the Führer personally commanded the Zeppelin airships to capture countless bastions...Long live the Führer!"
Thousands of soldiers waved their hats and saluted Xiao Letian, and Xiao Letian waved in return. The journey south has become a sea of celebrations.
"Reporting to the head of state... The leader Sima Yun sent a telegram... Our department has arrived at the important French town of Reims. All the French troops in the city are unable to retreat. The army chose to circle the city instead of attacking..."
"Haha... Lance City currently only has 30,000 to 40,000 defenders at most, and they are almost out of ammunition and food. Of course they don't dare to make any move in the face of hundreds of thousands of Prussian troops!"
"Order Sima Yun to advance quickly and allow him to use military resources to buy along the way... No, no, no, buy whatever you want, grab it for me!"
"We must seize all the horses we can, including two horses per person or even three horses per person. We must arrive in Paris on the evening of the 3rd and establish our vanguard position on the Montmartre Heights..."
"The big show is about to be staged. How could I miss it? How could I miss it..."
When Xiao Letian arrived at the Aisne River, the ferry had just departed. He wanted to go around the bridge downstream, but calculated the time, it would be faster to continue waiting for the ferry.
It happened that the war horses also needed a rest. Xiao Letian jumped off the horses with two hundred guards and repaired for a while at the supply point set up by the ferry.
When the voices and shadows of these Chinese people appeared, the Prussian troops at the supply department subconsciously gave up their positions. This was out of respect from the bottom of their hearts. They gave these famous Chinese people an extra stop.
Xiao Letian nodded politely, walked into the hay shed and drank a large glass of light salt water. The feeling of heat was immediately reduced a lot.
The war horses were pulled behind to eat horse feed, and the bundles of alfalfa were pressed into huge cubes. The horse feed stored here was enough to feed three thousand war horses.
"Your logistics are very good. I didn't expect you to be able to transport supplies here..."
Listening to the head of state's praise, a sergeant from the logistics department stood at attention and saluted and said proudly, "No, head of state, these are not supplies we transported from the rear. In fact, they all belong to the French..."
"You haven't seen it. In fact, the French have a lot of good things in their warehouses. This country is far richer than our Prussia..."
"But everything is in chaos... In many warehouses our army took over, the materials and accounts inside did not match up at all. Fifty tons of wheat were clearly recorded in the ledger, but when we opened it, it turned out to be 80 tons of alfalfa!"
"There are even warehouses that should have bullets, but they are filled with medical supplies!"
"You can't find the person in charge, nor can you find the workers. Each of these officials is too busy to do serious work, while the workers demonstrate every day, and no one cares about the distribution of materials..."
"In this battle, the French did not die from poverty, but from themselves to death!"
At this time, the Prussian veterans around him boldly said, "Really, Head of State, you haven't seen it. Every small train station we passed was filled with mountains of supplies..."
"A lot of flour was placed in the open air, even getting wet from the rain... So much material could not be transported to the front line. When I asked about it, even the workers who drove the trains went on strike!"
The people are devastated! Xiao Letian sighed, what did the Emperor do in the past ten years, so that the people's hearts were lost to this extent? He is incompetent in governing the country...
Just as Xiao Letian and the others were eating, drinking salt water, repairing and waiting for the ferry to return with the Prussian soldiers, suddenly the Dragon Guard outside suddenly exclaimed.
"Oh my God...head of state, look...are they our people in the distance?"
He set up an arbor and looked towards the north, only to find that among the tide of Prussian soldiers, a group of cavalry was running over quickly. The uniforms of those soldiers were actually navy blue.
"Navy? Damn it, Xiang Ying is a brat, right? How could he do it without my order?"
As expected, it was Xiang Ying who came. This guy didn't stop after the naval battle. When the Zhiyuan was being overhauled in Port William, he actually took his cronies all the way south.
Xiang Ying did not expect to meet the head of state's guard at the ferry. When he saw familiar faces, he left the saddle and dismounted in fear. He knew that the master must be inside.
"Report! Captain Xiang Ying of the Zhiyuan, come and report!" Xiang Ying stood at attention outside the hay shed, saluted, and shouted with a strong chest.
Some of the Prussian officers around him were knowledgeable, and some even knew a few words of Chinese. When they heard this, their expressions suddenly changed.
"He is a Chinese naval officer, the captain of the Zhiyuan...the god of war in the East Frisian naval battle!"
All the Prussian officers and soldiers suddenly changed their expressions, and some even subconsciously stood at attention and saluted. Such a person who can defeat France in a naval battle is definitely worthy of respect.
Xiao Letian narrowed his eyes and looked at Xiang Ying. This unruly disciple didn't say a word for a long time!
"Come up to the stable with me!"
