Chapter 2772: Battle of Verdun

Lieutenant General Villeroy, the French defender of Verdun, is extremely capable. When he used the Shinra Army to switch defenses, he made timely battle adjustments, reorganized the army, strengthened the defense, and repaired the damaged fortifications as much as possible. At the same time, he visited the wounded and went down to the various ministries to encourage morale: "Our reinforcements are outside, we must withstand them, and they can withstand them. Wait for the arrival of reinforcements and send the hypocrites to hell!"

He also ordered to call the treasury to provide the officers and soldiers with rich bread, dried meat, cheese and a proper amount of wine, saying: "Eat good food and drink now, it doesn't matter how much you eat. When the reinforcements arrive, you will replace them with new supplies!"

He raised his arms and shouted, leading the officers and soldiers to shout: "Under the blessing of God, we will be able to defeat these hypocrites in Austria and win the final victory!"

Lieutenant General Villeroy kept busy and kept busy, so the morale of the army was greatly boosted, and everyone was gearing up to prepare for the battle, only waiting to beat up the false believers.

Back at the headquarters, Lieutenant General Villeroy collapsed on a leather chair, and orderly Valbuena hurried over to help him take off his boots, serve him wine, and massage him.

While massaging the lieutenant general's feet, Valbuena secretly raised his eyes to look at the lieutenant general, but what he saw was a sad face full of sorrow, which was not at all his confident appearance in front of others, and he couldn't help feeling shock!

"My lord, when will our reinforcements arrive?" Valbuena couldn't help asking Lieutenant General Villeroy.

"It's hard, it's hard!" Lieutenant General Villeroy smiled wryly and shook his head.

"What?" Valbuena understood and said in shock.

There were no outsiders at this time, and this orderly was his confidant, knowing that he was very strict, Lieutenant General Villeroy of Alexandria confided to him in order to relieve the pressure: "If the enemy we are fighting against is the former God Luo army, then I have the confidence to defend Verdun, but now..."

He said painfully: "The Shinra army has been reorganized, and their combat effectiveness has doubled. Reinforcements are coming, but the number will not be large for a while, and without enough troops, it is impossible to break the siege of Verdun by the Shinra army!"

"It's already too late when His Majesty the King gathers a large army to come to rescue the siege!"

"At the same time, if the Shinra army didn't have those heavy artillery, trebuchets, and didn't use the method of the heathen to pile up mountains, we would definitely be able to hold Verdun, but now... alas!" He sighed deeply: "Do your best! !Defend this city wall with our lives!"

Lieutenant General Villeroy has conducted in-depth research on the war situation and military situation of European countries. The previous Shenluo army, even the powerful Austria and Bavaria, did not have so much money and technology to manufacture so many heavy artillery and trebuchets. Not to mention the use of pagan tactics, Western religions look down on pagans, how can they learn from them.

If it weren't for the deterrence of the emperor, how could the Austrians eat dirt to build mountains and adopt such a stupid method.

The lieutenant general patted Xiao Bing on the shoulder and said, "What I have said, you must not tell other people!"

"Yes, my lord!" Valbuena bowed his head.

…

The quietness of Verdun Fortress was only two days and one night. On the second night, the Austrians launched a fierce attack!

They fired a large number of flares into the sky, illuminating a pale yellow below. This is the light from the flares, which is called the night of **** by the Europeans in awe.

Grain

Immediately afterwards, the 210 shells came in one after another, bombarded like thunder, and hit the city wall heavily, shaking the hearts of the French.

The bombs flying overhead, the bombs falling into the city, and the arrows flying all over the sky made the French on the walls of the city have to be careful when they walked, and they didn't know when things would fall on their heads.

The Austrians threw a lot of kerosene bombs on the top of the city wall, and the entire city wall was on fire, and the flames were overwhelming, and no one could stand on it.

"Damn hypocrites, may they go to hell!" The French hated and said.

This is another pagan style of play. In the previous European wars, how could they have used so much fuel to attack so extravagantly!

In the 17th century when productivity was underdeveloped, oil was in short supply, and Europe was no exception. Western Europe was better. Like Eastern Europe and Lao Maozi, lard was reluctant to discard and was made into a delicacy called "Saluo". When you are a guest at their place, he treats you with "Saluo" as if you are a distinguished guest.

Of course, Austria is not luxurious enough to use animal fat or vegetable fat as fire oil bombs. They use the fire oil bombs that are mixed with 80% palm oil, 18% oil and 2% whale oil from the South China Empire. , For the Nanhua Empire, palm oil and petroleum are inexhaustible, and the cost of transporting them from Asia to Europe by sea ships is not high, and they can be used on the battlefield and can be afforded.

Not only the pagan method of fire oil bombs, but also the clumsy and effective method of "piling mountains".

Immediately after dawn, the Austrians piled up a number of earth hills along the two sections of the city wall of Verdun, one south and one north. The group attacked, and the waves of charges were higher than the waves. The French took out the attitude of jumping from heaven to **** and launched a countercharge, which blocked the attacker's attack!

The two sides fought desperately, using all means. The cannons blasted the city wall over and over again. They thought the bullets were weak, so they lit the fuel tank and rushed into the enemy crowd. They threw the bombs on the heads of the two sides who were fighting with swords. Usually, fists and feet face each other, choke each other, and bite each other with their teeth. The French hold up the dead body of the enemy and throw it at the Shenluo army. If someone is set on fire, then find an enemy to be the bottom...

The sun was shining that day, but the sky above the battlefield reflected a tragic blood color, because there were too many dead people, corpses everywhere, and too much blood flowed out, and many charged blood mountains and city walls were covered with blood, and the blood light reflected , palpitations!

On the battlefield on the southern front ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ the prince of the Grand Duchy of Bavaria, Marquis Maximilian, who was in charge of the battle, could not stop fighting.

He is not cold, but shocked by such a ferocious battlefield!

It's not that he has never fought before. The previous battles were easy, and the weapons were not so lethal. He would not kill the enemy. After all, we are all God's people, and we would never fight so bloodthirsty.

If you can't fight, either surrender or retreat.

And the winner is also very gracious, treats the loser kindly, does not harm the enemy, and lets the opponent go.

In the past, the battlefield was even full of the romance of knights: knights swung their whips, rode across the dust, swept away with a smile, and left with a smile.

The knight's figure gradually faded away, and the eyes were full of blood and gunpowder smoke!

Maximilian suddenly came to his senses: "It's the Chinese. When the Chinese come, they will break the old pattern on the battlefield. They will occupy all of Europe and destroy all enemies!" 2084/10344514
