C3048 a group of soft bones (1/2)

General Trochu was also stunned, his escape command was set up very covertly, let alone the artillery observation post who couldn't see anything, even the watchtower at the front line of Prussian army would have a hard time discovering this abandoned hidden pasture.

The time he chose to break out was the darkest moment before dawn. At this moment, the world was filled with the darkness, and the enemy was fighting against each other. Qi Bolin's airship in the sky was also on vacation … In fact, even during the day, Qi Bolin's dirigible was unable to fly due to the continuous north wind.

It could be said that breaking out of the encirclement this time was too secretive, and the temporary headquarters was even more top secret. This spot was actually chosen by Trochu four hours before he broke out of the siege, and only a few upper echelons knew the location.

Why was he so careless and exposed? Wait a minute, it did not seem like it was exposed. So many of the cannonballs had exploded at the edges of the pasture, only four or five of them had entered the pasture and killed a few of the councilors' attendants.

Could it be a coincidence? It didn't seem like it. Why was the firepower so quick and violent? Without a fixed range bombardment from dozens of cannons, it was impossible for it to have such a density!

How could Old General Trochu have known that Bismark had actually given Trochu face? When the artillery revised to shoot at the Elementalists, they had consciously deviated from their original positions.

The artillery shells were concentrated at the southern side of the pasture. To put it bluntly, it meant that the threat of death was far greater than that of killing!

Prussian army's goal was achieved, when had these civil officials ever seen such a scene? Out of hundreds of representatives, only a third had ever joined the army, and that was many years ago.

The wind and moon of Paris had softened their bones, and the courage they usually carried in life and death had been thrown into the dustbin.

”Run!” Let's go back to the city... This attempt to break out of the encirclement has failed, failed! ”

Seeing their followers being blown up into a pile of corpses, many of the noblemen were scared to the point of peeing their pants. They jumped onto their war horses or carriages to escape, frantically wanting to leave this terrifying place.

General Trochu was simply unable to stop them. Hundreds of councilors and their subordinates formed a large black mass, blocking the charge of the crowd as they fled towards Paris.

”Everyone, stand still … Don't run... We were close to breaking through... ”Don't go!”

The vanguard team had already broken through to the last line of defense of the Prussian army. Just by looking at the army, they could tear a gap to the south.

”My God! God! What's the point of running away, I can't bring away the council and government agencies, what's the use of my Interim Government? Do you want me to bring an empty shell to the Orleans? ”

Trochu's eyes turned dizzy as his blood pressure skyrocketed once again.

The Prussian artillery was firing nonstop, pouring firepower onto the abandoned pastures. The councilors and high-ranking officials ran away like rabbits, and within ten minutes the pastures were completely empty.

It would still take some time before the chaos from the rear could spread to the front. The brave France Army at the very front was still fighting with their lives on the line, and all the Prussian army in front of them were crushed to smithereens!

When the last line of defense was completely torn apart, the vanguard unit that rushed out was already a group of blood men.

Everyone was wounded, and blood flowed out to form blood scabs. After that, they would break, and fresh, hot blood would flow out. However, no one knew the pain, and their hearts were filled with victory and joy.

”Send a signal to the general... ”We have successfully broken out of the encirclement. We will defend on the spot and wait for the general and the council to break out …”

”Quick, quick, quick...” ”We don't have much time left. We won't be able to hold them off for long. Let's make them faster …”

This was an escape route that the soldiers had risked their life for, only God knew if they could last ten minutes or twenty minutes. From afar, they could already see the figures of Prussian army reinforcements.

The exhausted French soldiers launched their defensive formations on the spot. Although their hands were trembling from exhaustion, none of them had an expression of retreat.

The soldiers who were not afraid of death wiped their rifles lightly, and the soldiers who had used up all their bullets wiped off the bloodstains on their bayonets. The defensive positions behind them became heavier and thicker, thousands of brothers rushed out from the gap and formed a strong shield behind them.
