C2677 The Head of State over his head (1/2)
The Spicillin's plateau was located in the southwest of the Salbrucon. It was a hill filled with dense forests, and a medieval fortress named Rosenberg was erected there. As long as the Second Army guarded this plateau with all their might, they would be able to cover the French Emperor's main body.
Napoleon III and Marshal Ba Zan were currently leading the battle here, while the main force of the western troop was also gathered here, waiting for more supplies.
could not and did not dare to continue retreating. Losing the Salbrucon already made it difficult for him to explain in front of the French Emperor. If he could not even defend the last forward position, then the only thing waiting for him was a military court.
As soon as the Second Army arrived at the Spicillin's plateau, they received orders to set up defensive fortifications against the Prussian troops before they even had time to eat a mouthful of hot food.
The exhausted French army began to fill sandbags and build barricades for shooting, cutting down trees to build bunkers. Soon all the animals in the forest fled in fright.
However, these French Army had underestimated the Prussian's passion for battle. Before they even finished repairing the defensive wall, the Prussian army's sentries and cavalry had already started fighting with the Second Army's Rangers.
In the distance, the sound of gunfire could be heard. Knowing that the enemy was approaching, the soldiers of the army could not be bothered with the hunger as they quickly distributed ammunition to prepare for the final battle.
”Coming …” There was an army in the distance! Prussian is coming from the north … ”
”Two o'clock in the direction …” ”A brigade in terms of physical strength …”
”Prepare for battle … Enemy gathering... ”Take good care of the construction work …”
”Damnit …” ”What's going on, why did they suddenly attack?”
Flosad was completely dumbfounded. The enemy's vanguard cavalry was at the outskirts of the battlefield, circling up with the Queen's cavalry's soldiers.
The army of a Prussian brigade had also arrived below the highlands. Originally, they thought that these Prussian army would wait for the reinforcements to gather and then launch an attack. However, they never expected that such a brigade would dare to launch an attack on the highlands.
Flosad would never have thought that the one commanding the attack this time round would be the life and death enemy of the French Emperor, the head of the Hua Clan, Xiao Letian.
Logically speaking, Xiao Letian did not have the authority to command the Prussian army in battle, but Xiao Letian had the authority to observe the battlefield! When Ka Meike received the Vanguard Order, he actually requested for five hundred Chinese SPECIAL SERVICES s to cooperate with him in the attack.
Everyone dared to reject this request, and everyone had personally witnessed the heroic battle between the SPECIAL SERVICES s of the Hua Clan, so Ka Meike was eager to have this kind of iron army to assist in the battle.
But when this group of vanguard unit forced their way across the Saar River and approached the Spicillin's plateau, Xiao Letian took charge of his own affairs and gave the order to attack.
Ka Meike could not believe her own ears. Are you kidding me again? This was the strength of an army from high ground! Although they suffered heavy losses in Salbrucon, their military strength should be at least around 25,000 more! ”
”We dare to attack with just a single brigade? This won't do, we have to wait for the next great army to arrive! ”
Xiao Letian shook his head: ”The enemy has 25,000, but we only have 7500 soldiers. It looks like the difference in strength is too great, we have no chance of winning!”
”However, we have to fight this battle because at this moment, the war between the two countries is no longer just a simple military contest. It's all about judging the future! ”
”Ka Meike... How do you think we won the Battle of Walter? Do you really think the French are that weak? You're wrong! The French army is not weak at all! ”
”If we fight one-on-one with the same number of soldiers, the chances of the French winning are much higher!”
