C2671 Killed Duet (2/2)
His body was like a broken bag as he hit the ground and dragged the blood far away!
He was not the most miserable one yet, but the most miserable one were the soldiers that fell behind. Under the overwhelming assault of the Prussian army's infantry unit, all the French army's counterattacks were like moths to a flame.
Under the bombardment of bullets, the soldiers fell to the ground layer by layer. Their bodies were scattered all over the place.
The screams of the wounded soldiers on the battlefield were heart-wrenching, but they could not be exchanged for the slightest bit of pity from the enemies.
He closed his eyes with a wry smile. ”I never thought I'd be the first to die in battle!”
”Oh, France, my homeland! You can't win this war... ”A teacher died in battle just a moment ago. This omen is too unlucky, too unlucky …”
This was the last bit of his consciousness left over from Duet's death. Since then, he had fallen into complete darkness, into complete nothingness.
Duai was dead, the commander was dead! The news spread through the army like a virus, and the last bit of the French resistance vanished. All the soldiers lost their orders and scattered in all directions.
”East... Brothers, retreat eastward... Our main force is in the east... ”Gather in the main group!”
In the darkness of the night, there was still a portion of the surviving commanders of the First Division that were doing their best to gather up their defeated troops.
These were all veterans of the empire. Losing any one of them would be a loss for the empire!
When Prince Karl stepped onto the walls of Weissenberg, he saw that the sky had turned white. He reached out his hand to stroke the sooty stone wall, and there was a faint smile on his face.
”Only one night? Are French dreams broken in a single night? ”
”You want to hit my Germany's land? Want to fight on our land? You still want to eat the enemy? Eat us, drink us, and then hit us? ”
”Dream on, Wiesenberg is the limit of your ability to enter France! This war can only be fought within your borders, and will never be fought on our territory! ”
”Reporting to Your Highness! The emergency telegram from the western end of the line... ”
”Read it!”
”General Steinmetz has successfully lured Flosad's Second Army to the Salbrucon. A brutal siege is underway!”
”Up till now, the Salbrucon is still under our control. The Old General hopes that the prince can finish the battle quickly and complete the plan before Flosad wakes up. ”
Prince Karl nodded, ”Is there anything else? ”Continue reciting!”
”There's also an urgent message from the head of state... Our tribe has already appeared in front of French Emperor, and the entire army has annihilated countless enemies. Right now, the French Emperor is already at the western border, so I hope that your majesty can relax and fight … ”
”French Emperor is like a bull that has lost its mind after being provoked by the red cloth. As long as I, Xiao Letian, am here, he would not care about anything in the east side!”
”Your Highness, please do not worry about using troops!”
”Good!” Well done! Order all departments to gather and head in Walter's direction! ”
”Boys! How about we go to Paris for Christmas this year? ” the Prince shouted from the top of the city wall.
”Long live! Long live! ”Long live!” Below the city, tens of thousands of torrents roared in unison, and the army turned east and began to flank Walter.
