C2861 A war! (2/2)

”As long as we can reach a ceasefire with the Prussian, we can immediately get reinforcements and reinforcements. At that time, the Ba Zan Corps will be in cahoots with us, and those ambitious people in Paris will no longer have the chance to cause trouble!”

”With the empire here, our job is here. With the empire gone, we have no hope!”

This sentence rekindled the hope in the hearts of the soldiers. Recalling the years of war in Crimea and the great deeds of the Qing Empire in the East, countless veterans were extremely excited.

”We can only fight to the death!” The only thing left to do is to fight to the death! ”

”Old soldiers won't die!” The Empire is indestructible! ”

Often, desperate situations could make an army famous. The hundred thousand French soldiers of Sedan Fortress had already been forced into a corner, and under the encouragement of the noble officers, they unexpectedly burst out with unimaginable fighting strength at this most critical time.

The previous dejection had been completely swept away, and the entire stronghold entered a tense atmosphere of preparation for battle. Countless soldiers piled up sandbags and built layers of shooting positions, and countless soldiers carried ammunition box s and transported weapons back and forth.

The sour sounds of sharpening stones grinding against sharp blades could be heard everywhere. All the soldiers looked at the Prussian army outside the city with eyes filled with fury!

At seven in the morning, after the soldiers of the Prussian army's camp had finished eating breakfast, their teams started to gather at the camp. Xiao Letian climbed to the tallest watchtower at the north side of Sedan City at five in the morning and paid close attention to the battle.

”This is the last battle! Don't let me down, Frenchmen. Fight harder, fight harder! The more your military officers and veterans are killed on the battlefield, the harder it will be for the France to recover from military injuries in the future! ”

”Good boy!” Be obedient... Obediently become a second rate military power, that is your destiny! ”

Suddenly, a loud and clear bugle call sounded out from the Prussian army position, it was not a bugle, but hundreds and thousands of bugles blowing at the same time. At that moment, the strict looking Prussian army in the camp started to move towards the outside of the camp, and very quickly, within ten kilometers of the encirclement, they formed the first wave of attack.

All the soldiers stood on alert, their bayonets sharp like a forest.

Seeing this, Xiao Letian hurriedly took out two lumps of cotton and stuffed them into his ears: ”The cannon battle is about to begin! Hahaha … The largest cannon battle in nineteenth century has begun! ”

In order to fight in Sedan, Lao Maoqi had prepared 700 Krupp afterloading steel gun s, and just the delivery of artillery shells had organized 4 of them!

For the sake of this decisive battle, Prussian had shown his all!

7: 35, Following General Command's command, the 700 cannons surrounding Sedan City began to fire at the same time!

Boom! Boom! Boom! The sky and the earth were filled with the sounds of artillery fire. Smoke rose up from the ground like dark clouds, and the artillery shells rained down on Sedan City.

Xiao Letian felt that the watchtower beneath his feet was about to collapse from the impact, the sounds of the cannons firing could still be heard clearly.

In almost an instant, Sedan City had become a sea of fire. These modified cannonballs used the latest type of explosive, and its power was completely different from the previous flowering bomb s.

The flames from the explosion filled the entire city. Amidst the shock wave, countless French soldiers were blown up into the sky, their arms and legs were blown off. Sharp cannonballs cut into the soldiers' stomachs and their intestines flowed all over the ground, unable to be saved!

”Looking for cover... The enemy's shelling won't take too long... The enemy infantry will attack soon... ”

”Looking for cover... ”Dodge the cannonball …”

Boom! Boom! Boom! Amidst the explosions, Sedan City trembled from the explosion!
