C2873 Marshals watch (1/2)

McMahon looked at Flosad who was kneeling painfully on the ground, and a hundred mixed feelings arose in his heart. He knew that Flosad was not a coward who had followed him for so many years.

In the battle of Salbrucon and Spicillin's plateau, Flosad had indeed escaped, but looking at the situation at that time, the decision to preserve his strength was not his own decision.

In the army at that time, there was indeed a large number of veterans who chose to protect the veterans' legion, considering the many political reasons. In many of the battles, the local garrison troops and recruit troops were used as much as possible.

The reason here was simply too complicated. Although McMahon could not finish speaking for three days and three nights, one thing was for sure. The reason why Flosad had been defeated twice was mainly because of political reasons, not because of his cowardice.

In this battle, all the generals had completely thrown away their previous chaotic thoughts. They had all united their minds and prepared for a bloody battle to hasten the peace.

At this time, no one would hide anything, and everyone would put in their all to fight for it. It was a pity that Flosad met his old opponent again, Xiao Letian, and even had such an incredible weapon …

Looking at the mighty airship in the southern sky, McMahon sighed and pulled Flosad who was crying bitterly, ”Forget it! You don't have all the responsibility... ”Now is not the time to be held accountable. What we want is a solution!”

”No one would have thought that Xiao Letian would prepare such a weapon, we simply have no way to restrain him, damn it …”

”NO!” There's still a way! ” Flosad said loudly, ”As long as His Majesty agrees to let me place the cannons at the central tower, we can lure the enemy's airships over, and when that happens, we can blast him apart with cannons!”

In the center of Sedan City was a fortress that was twenty meters tall, which was also the central tower of the French Emperor. This was the highest point of the fortress, allowing a clear view of the battle situation.

Xiao Letian's airship was not something that could be destroyed by ordinary rifles, unless they could use cannons as anti-aircraft cannons. However, the bronze forged Napoleon Cannon was simply too heavy, it was impossible to defend against.

Even if it was erected, it would be very difficult for people to move and aim. After all, the airship was moving, and if they met with danger, they could change their direction to avoid it.

The only way to hit a moving airship was to raise the cannon to a height that was on par with the airship or at a basic level. The only way to do that was to place the cannon at the central tower.

”Marshal!” The cannons were set up in a twenty-meter high tower. This way, the muzzle of the cannons would be able to freely adjust the angle of fire, unless the enemy airship suddenly rose up … ”Of course, as long as it doesn't increase too much, we still have a chance!”

”Not now, our cannons can't be put up!” Flosad said with sorrow.

McMahon frowned as he considered the possibility carefully. ”The chances are very slim, basically all of this needs to be done in secret, once the airship discovers them, they will immediately change their altitude!”

”Being able to keep it a secret is one thing, but the key is that you only have one or two chances to shoot!” ”As long as we expose ourselves by firing the cannons, the airship will definitely move away …”

”Forget it, there's no other way. You can give it a try. Take two cannons with you. The tower is small and it can only hold two cannons …”

”Yes sir!” Flosad brought his subordinates and hastily moved towards the direction of the central tower.

McMahon listened to the intense sounds of gunfire outside and felt his heart clawing at his chest. He borrowed the collar of his military uniform to suddenly place his handgun on his waist, ”Come with me …” If you don't direct me personally, I won't feel at ease! ”

”Marshal!” It was too dangerous. The enemies in front of him were all at each other's throats. If he wasn't careful, he would run into the enemy's vanguard. It's too dangerous. You have to lead from the back, and we'll help you boost your morale! ”

McMahon shook his head and said with determination, ”The difference in strength is huge. If I were to hide in a safe place to give out orders, the brothers would not fight to the death!”
