C2956 to the breaking down of morale (2/2)
The Leader's strategic plan must have a deep meaning, this was something that everyone present recognized. Even Wang Huaiyuan did not know that he had secretly developed a spy network in Paris.
At that moment, only a few people knew that Thiers had already become a traitor of the France!
To Xiao Letian, the situation in Paris was already like an ornament on his palm. If he did not scrape a layer of oil off his face, Xiao Letian would definitely not let go.
September in Paris is still very hot, especially today when the sun is high enough to reach a temperature of up to 35 degrees.
By two in the afternoon, the morale of the twenty thousand French troops had completely collapsed. They were being pulled back and forth by the groups of cavalry regiment s, and the Fourth Battalion even broke into the formation of the French army at high speed.
In order to increase their momentum, the cavalry of the fourth battalion had ignited several barns. Tons of haystacks had turned into a blazing sea of flames!
The Chinese army's rations were very convenient. In the morning, the soldiers had already filled up their canteens and hung four to five canteens on their war horses. After a day, everyone would be able to replenish their water.
The high-calorie canned beef gulped down their bellies. These soldiers had gone through strict survival training in the wild. Eating snake meat and bird meat raw was not a problem.
It was just a simple canned food on the back of a horse. It would not affect their morale and combat effectiveness in the slightest!
On the contrary, these National Guard s had already completely digested the pitiful breakfast that they had earlier. A small portion of the soldiers might have had one or two pieces of jerky hidden in their pockets, which was given to them by their wives who doted on them.
Most of the soldiers didn't even have bread crumbs!
The most serious problem was that there was no water to drink. There was indeed a small stream flowing on the battlefield, but after a day of suffering, stepping on a horse to step on a small stream had turned into muddy water.
Hunger was easy to deal with, but thirst was really hard to deal with!
After 2 PM, the French army began to show a large number of soldiers who had fainted from heat stroke.
Fu Lankeer and De Lekelvzi finally understood what kind of enemy they had faced. They were as cunning as foxes!
”Dammit, these Chinese people aren't willing to fight, and they're not willing to retreat either. What are they trying to do …” Fu Lankeer watched as the soldiers beside him got heat stroke and was so angry that they hit their horses.
De Lekelvzi was a journalist after all, he had a unique intuition. At this moment, he knew that he would not get any benefits on the battlefield, so he made a decision on the spot.
”The entire army enters a defensive posture, allowing the soldiers to maintain their stamina... Hang the white flag, I'm going to negotiate with these Chinese people! ”
”No!” What if they take you down? ” The surrounding people all stopped him.
However, De Lekelvzi made up his mind, ”Didn't you notice anything strange? ”The Chinese actually had several opportunities to raid us in today's encounter …” [1. ]
”For example, when our troops first started to spread out, there were also times when the later stages of the formation were in chaos …”
”But none of them did... Why is that? I think these Chinese people have other motives. They don't want to kill people today! ”
”I need to negotiate, I need to know Xiao Letian's intentions!”
