C2952 The Führer arrives (2/2)
Everyone chatted about their drinking relationship and the interesting things that happened in the battlefield. Of course, there was a lot of boasting, and the atmosphere suddenly became heated.
It was only then that Xiang Ying saw the group of women and children being blasted out of the church. Xiang Ying turned his head and asked Bing Tai Lang: ”What's going on?”
Bing Tai recounted what happened last night in a simple manner. He turned around and said indignantly, ”We are already merciful enough if we don't kill them. Why do you still have to give us money to eat?”
”If it were us, Fu Sang, these would all be spoils of war. We could all be at the mercy of life and death!”
They couldn't let Bing Tai Lang and the other soldiers of the Foreign Legion become depressed. A group of people were all holding back their desire to take revenge, thinking back to when the French Fleet killed quite a few of those tyrannical people.
Xiang Ying shook his head and said to Bing Tai in a low voice, ”Don't talk about this anymore, master has already talked about this topic on the way here … Our mission is more important than the massacre of the city... ”
”Don't push yourself into the line of fire! Have you guys made your plans? ”
At this time, Xiao Letian was sitting in the town hall, listening to Sima Yun's report of today's battle preparations. After listening to him for ten minutes, Xiao Letian waved his hand.
”This battle is not difficult! ”Your plan is a little too complicated, there's no need to use so many scouts to get those precious snipers and scouts back …”
”This time, we are not facing the regular army of the France, but twenty thousand left-wing controlled National Guard s! The weapons are messy and there are no cannons! ”
”Hmm? ”How did you know …” Sima Yun asked in confusion.
Xiao Letian waved his hand and left the few high ranking officers behind, he then took out a electric newspaper from his pocket and said, ”Take a look! ”My spies in Paris have already sent me the changes in the situation over the past few days...”
”Last night, the Bourbon's palace was filled with the smell of gunpowder. This first round of the siege of Paris will be fought by the National Guard! ”
”Hehe …” ”1.5 francs a day, my life is as cheap as grass, I have to lose my life over such a small amount of money, what a pity …”
No one had expected the leader to have another spy in Paris, and from the looks of it, this spy was of a very high rank, so the information he provided was extremely detailed.
The French army that was within fifteen kilometers of the Bobini had all retreated. The entire defense line was replenished with twenty thousand National Guard.
Each of these twenty thousand men carried only thirty rounds of ammunition, not a single cannon, and the troops were not equipped with transport wagons, which meant that they were simply unable to carry out a long period of combat.
”Are these people here for tourism? No cannon, no cavalry, no heavy weapons, no baggage... They look down on us so much? ”
Xiao Letian shook his head: ”Hehe. It's not that they despise us, but that the internal strife among the French people is so severe that the cannon in National Guard's hands has become a thorn in Interim Government's side! ”
”These cannons are all hidden in the Montmartre plateau, used as defensive power … This time, if I bring a portion of it back, I will be afraid that someone will rob us while we are still fighting! ”
No one had expected that the internal conflict in France had reached such an extent. If this piece of information was accurate, then today's battle would be much easier to fight.
