C2676 The Salbrucon defended. (1/2)
McMahon's order to retreat brought about unprecedented chaos. The forty thousand strong army had their tails firmly locked in the jaws of the Prussian, as they retreated towards the south along with the corpses.
The French Marshal, who had misjudged the situation, did not know that behind him, Prince Karl actually did not have that many soldiers. Many of his troops were still advancing on the railway line behind him.
It was clearly a 1: 1 army, but in the end, it became a hunting ground for wild rabbits. The terrified French army really thought that they had a huge army of 100,000 behind them.
His heart was bleeding. He knew that at this time, the only ones who could finish the post-hall mission were the Empire's veterans.
These were all French Essence, one less would be enough! However, this kind of mission that required them to die could only be carried out by veterans, and only they still had the honor of being a soldier, and only they had the character that a soldier of France should have.
It had to be said that the French soldiers were extremely brave. All the soldiers who had received the order from the palace hall had faithfully fulfilled their mission.
They fought bravely, one by one, through mountain passes, bridges, and rivers, and against Prussian pursuers that blotted out the sky.
After firing all the bullets, he would use his bayonet to fight with his life on the line.
Life became the cheapest thing, even the most noble and noble of spirits would be ground to smithereens by the millstones of war!
The hot blood of the patriotic warriors was exchanged for the time for the army to retreat. Maybe the delay that a single life could bring about was only one second, but it was only with the statements of countless warriors that McMahon's army safely retreated to the mountain range.
In the end, even Agno, who was closest to the Strasbourg, was captured by the Prussian army. The French citizens in the border area had previously supported the French army to defeat their country with a face full of joy, but in just a few days' time, they had received the news of a terrible defeat.
All the villages and towns were closed, and people had even nailed their doors and windows shut with wooden bars from the inside of the houses. From the gaps in the windows, they watched the Prussian soldiers coming from the north, trembling in fear.
”My God! How could this be, how could this be? ”How could our army be defeated, that's impossible …”
There was nothing that was impossible in this world, especially war!
McMahon's cross-border attack this time was actually the limit of the entire war between France and France. Since the start of the war, the French army had never been able to cross the border.
The news of their defeat spread like a virus throughout the northeastern part of France. Soon, it spread to Flosad who was attacking the Salbrucon.
Crash! The cup in Flosad's hand smashed onto the table, the coffee made a complete mess of the Military Maps!
”What did you say?” Say that again? The McMahon leader failed? A full retreat? ”
The cavalryman panted heavily, ”Yes …” Yes... When we first crossed the border, everything went smoothly … ”
”Instructor Du E successfully captured the Wiesanburg. However, I never thought that she would be ambushed by several times the size of the Prussian army. In the chaos of battle, Instructor Du E was ambushed and died ….”
”Immediately following that, the Prussian began to encircle the city. The enemy's strength was close to a hundred thousand, so Marshal McMahon had no choice but to give the order to retreat. By now, the Central Army should have already retreated to the Foshan Mountain Pulse!”
”This is bad!” ”We've fallen into his trap …” Flosad shouted loudly, ”Retreat quickly, give up on Salbrucon!”
