C2683 Bloody Rose Blooming (1/2)
None of the French could have imagined that an enemy would attack from behind. All their attention was focused on the bloody battle in the southeast of the plateau, and all the main force was focused on the front lines.
Right now, Flosad only had a company of guards by his side, adding the cavalry of the Queen's cavalry, there were more than two hundred of them stationed in this castle, against an attack of five hundred people, they could not resist at all.
There were countless medieval castles in Europe, many built by small lords. A small castle like Rosenberg had not been designed to hold soldiers.
To put it bluntly, the entire castle was the refuge of the Aristocrat Lord's family. When the war ended, the Lord's family would lead one or two hundred guards to await reinforcements, and the rest of the commoners wouldn't be able to control them.
It was not that Flosad did not want to insert more troops into the castle, but in this kind of narrow and stuffy castle, it was extremely crowded for over a hundred cavalry soldiers to fit inside.
The explosion in Rosenberg alarmed the garrison in the highlands. Countless military officers watching the battle from the frontlines turned their heads to look at the dense smoke of the castle in astonishment, momentarily losing the ability to think.
”What's going on? Who detonated the ammunition depot? ”
”Not good, it's the signal for reinforcements. The castle has been attacked by the enemy!”
”My God, where did this enemy come from? ”Reinforcements, reinforcements!”
This time, the entire French lines was in chaos. They did not order the captains and Battalion Commanders under Flosad's command to take charge of their own affairs and instead started to order the elite troops to return to the castle.
But they had calculated how narrow the path to the castle was, and when there were more than three thousand reinforcements, the whole plateau was in chaos.
People were clogging each other, and soon the troops were mixed in. The officers could not find their own soldiers, and the soldiers could not find their own officers.
The road was narrow enough to begin with, but the cavalry still desperately tried to squeeze their way in, but in the end they were pushed back and even knocked over a large area with their infantry.
The dark night had become the biggest accomplice of the Chinese people. The pitch black darkness made it impossible for people to distinguish between north, south, east and west. They could only instinctively climb towards the light of the fires on the high ground.
At this time, the battle in the castle had already turned into a one-sided massacre. The Chinese SPECIAL SERVICES were all well-versed in coordinated battle tactics, especially in street fighting in cities.
The line of attack was crisscrossed. Teams charging in at the same time tore pieces of flesh and blood off the enemy's line of defense like saw teeth.
The enemy could not even raise his head in the dense rain of bullets. The burning grenades cleared the defending troops one room after another, and within a short period of time, a third of the French Army in the castle had already perished on the spot.
”Damn it!” When did the warriors of the France get beaten up by the Chinese? This was a humiliation! The third class will rush out and take over the church clock tower! ”
”Are there any brave warriors who dare to die? Follow me and charge out …” The other troops, cover us! ”
What was a veteran? To put it bluntly, the veterans were a group of homicidal maniacs. These people fought from Crimea all the way to North Africa, then to the Great Qing, then to Mexico … Didn't that person have more than a dozen lives?
These people were already freaks. As soon as they entered the battlefield, they would be a group of madmen. As long as they won, they would not fear death!
”For His Majesty the Emperor … Charge! ”
The French in the stables shouted a countercharge, their figures sprinting down the street, charging into the church belfry on the opposite side, commanding the battlefield from above.
