C2691 Mace French Army Base Camp (2/2)
On the surface, Napoleon III looked like a famous general, but in reality, he was just an idiot in his heart. His command skills could not even be compared to his uncle's, and even some of the teachers and commanders of Prussian army s could not be compared to him!
This was exactly the kind of person he was talking about while being strong on the outside. Marshal Ba Zan's explanation was so far-fetched, but he actually believed it too!
The French Emperor pointed at the map and said fiercely, ”Let McMahon defend the Foshan Mountain Pulse to the death and keep the enemy's main forces to the east of the mountain range!”
”Have Flosad quickly sweep through the Salbrucon, and then have the army quickly enter the Prussian territory. Afterwards, take a detour to the east and attack the enemy's main force from the rear!”
”Who is the commander of the Eastern Legion? Was it Karl who had a sick throat? Hehe … To defeat him, it's best if we capture him alive! ”
The orders of the French Emperor were passed down one by one. This emperor who treated war as child's play was completely unaware of the dangers of the frontlines. He thought that he could force these generals to sacrifice their lives just by relying on his strong military order.
But he never expected that after just over twenty hours, when dawn of the second day arrived, countless riders appeared outside of Mace City. They were all Rangers scouts that were sent to the battlefield by the French Emperor's army.
”Your Majesty! Hurry up and report this to your majesty... Fifteen kilometers northeast of Mace. We have discovered a large number of our troops being routed! ”
”Your Majesty … Flosad's second army has been pulled back, and the entire force is retreating without the slightest bit of weight! ”
This time, the Mace City was in an uproar. With the French Emperor awakened, all the executives in the headquarters were ashen-faced.
”How can this be? How was this possible? The Second Army also retreated? And they even directly retreated to the Mace City? Has the enemy already hit me under the nose? ”
”Say something!” Why are all of you mute? Didn't they say yesterday that Walter was the main force of the enemy? Didn't they say yesterday that the huge army of one hundred thousand was advancing towards the Strasbourg? ”
”Why did it suddenly appear in the western border? How did the elite Second Army get beaten into such a shitty state!? ”
”Answer me! ”Answer me …” The French Emperor roared crazily in the meeting room, causing the generals below to perspire. The two sides did not dare to speak.
Currently, they could already see the vanguard of the army outside the Mace City, which was a total of 6000 to 7000 cavalry unit s. This was also the only troop in Flosad's hands that did not have their morale crumbling.
The Queen's cavalry gathered all of the cavalry together, protecting the commander as he retreated back to the Mace City.
Flosad rushed into the meeting room in a sorry state, the moment he saw French Emperor, he cried out and directly kneeled on the ground!
”Your Majesty! I was besieged by over a hundred thousand Prussian army s, I am simply too weak, I can't even defend against them! ”
There was another commotion in the meeting room. ”Are you kidding?” Why did another hundred thousand Prussian army s come? How could these Prussian have so many armies? ”
”Walter has more than a hundred thousand, Salbrucon has more than a hundred thousand, could it be that the remaining three hundred plus kilometers of border does not need to be protected by more than a hundred thousand people?”
”Damn it, could it be that the other border's Prussian army Fortress and camps are all empty? All of them were trying to confuse us? ”
”Someone is lying. Flosad and McMahon, one of them must be lying!”
