Chapter 2778: 1 bet

The Sixth Army did not dare to attack forcefully, but it still did the work that should be done. It was honestly doing preliminary work, such as building a long siege, besieging the city of Reims, cutting off traffic and connections inside and outside the city, and pressing " "Parallel siege method" digs traffic trenches, and several traffic trenches advance towards the city of Reims in case of emergency.

Guns were fired in the city in an attempt to stop the progress of the traffic trench, but with little success.

The French were not in a hurry, and watched the traffic trench approaching the city with cold eyes, and then fell into the mud.

It turns out that the surrounding strata of Lance City are rich in water belts and rich in water sources. The traffic trenches built in this way are easy to be flooded, and it is not easy to dig deep tunnels leading to the city. However, Lance City is built on rock formations, so it is more difficult to dig and Stack dynamite to blow up the city.

When the officers of the Austrian Sixth Army exchanged information with the staff, they all took a breath!

However, they went ahead despite the difficulties and quickly transported the two heavy machines in the rear to the front line.

The French saw that the Austrians leveled the land more than 300 meters away from the city wall and built a five-meter-high parapet. The French were puzzled: "It's so far away, what is the purpose of building a parapet?"

The mystery was soon revealed. The Austrians assembled two giant counterweight trebuchets with high levers and clumsy counterweights. They had a long range, enough to throw Jolin Tsai, who weighed one hundred catties, four hundred meters away.

In the Middle Ages, trebuchets were widely used in battles against castles, but in recent years, with the popularity of artillery, trebuchets have gradually declined.

The reason why the trebuchet can shine on the battlefield again is thanks to the blessings of the Chinese. The Chinese have n many kerosene bombs, bombs and gas bombs. Using the trebuchet can launch the bombs better and enhance the The Chinese firepower.

Now the Chinese assemble trebuchets outside the city of Reims, and then throw stone bombs, kerosene bombs, bombs and poison gas bombs into the city.

Stone bombs destroy buildings, kerosene bombs cause fires, bombs injure people, and gas bombs cause chaos. To be honest, they pose a threat to the city, but the number is too small, which only adds some discomfort to the French. Mosquitoes nail elephants.

This kind of messing around, the Austrians are full of money?

After fighting for a while, the trebuchets stopped attacking. The defenders of the eastern city of Reims saw a group of Austrians approaching with a white flag. The closer they got, the more clearly they could see that this was a noble guard of honor.

They were colorfully attired and full of arrogance, and they came towards the city.

The first person, about forty years old, is riding a tall horse and wearing baroque costumes of various styles, which is an art style widely popular in Europe in the 17th century. The satin hat is very delicate, and the material of the clothes and hat can be seen to be made of high-quality Chinese silk even from a distance.

Such clothes are the clothes of nobles, and only nobles can dress like this. He rides over, dazzling like a peacock, even if the enemy is short-sighted, he can easily target him.

"Fire?" the snipers and gunners in the city asked the officer.

Then the officer shook his head and reported to the senior officers in the city that he was ordered not to fire.

After all, this world is still a world of nobles. If the French army opened fire on the Austrian nobles, don't expect the Austrians to be polite to the French nobles.

As far as everyone knows, even if the Chinese entered the Shenluo Empire, they and even the Austrians still gave preferential treatment to the nobles of various countries. For example, ordinary prisoners of war need manual labor, while captured nobles and officers do not need manual labor. Ordinary prisoners of war You have to work hard to get enough food, and nobles and military officers are treated with tea, coffee and meat.

Therefore, the French can't be rude, otherwise they will provoke others to fight back, and everyone will feel uncomfortable.

This small group of Austrians poses an insignificant threat to the city defense, and it will be different if too many people come over.

When the team of Austrians reached the edge of Reims, a loud attendant stepped forward and shouted: "This is the honorable Lord Viscount Cesky Krumlov of the Kingdom of Bohemia of the Holy Roman Empire, Deputy Commander of the Sixth Army of the Kingdom of Austria. Mr. Griezmann Payette Remy, commander of the 62nd Division, has an important mission. He wants to meet the honorable Commander of the Kingdom of France in Reims, Lieutenant General de Mavuba, and have a dialogue with him. Conference!"

Gu Fu

After he said it three times in a row, a big hanging basket was placed on the top of the city wall!

The viscount took two attendants, rode in a big hanging basket, and went up to the city wall of Lance City.

The French officers and soldiers bowed to the old man and led him to a bastion to meet Lieutenant General de Mavuba.

The two hugged each other affectionately, so they knew each other!

The world of nobles is connected, even the nobles of two countries know each other, mainly because the title of viscount is not low, and the rank of lieutenant general is also very high.

"Please sit down!" Lieutenant General de Mavuba invited the guests to sit down at a rough wooden table. Everyone sat down, except for the two adults, accompanied by two French generals. The guards brought them the famous Lance Champagne.

"To God, cheers!"

"Cheers to your health!"

"Cheers to friendship!"

The four of them drank a few rounds of wine warmly first, which made people suspect that none of them came to discuss but to drink. This is the lazy style of the nobles.

"It's unbelievable, I thought I wouldn't be able to see you!" Lieutenant General de Mavuba said to Viscount Remy.

"Then I have to thank God, and thank Her Majesty the Queen for taking care of me!" Viscount Remy said God, and made a sign of the cross.

Lieutenant General de Mavuba meant that after the Chinese came to power Vienna, they carried out a round of purges of the army. Many old Austrian nobles were kicked out of the army, and Viscount Remy was also a member of the army. , but fortunately escaped the purge, and was able to control the military power, which is not easy.

"I'm just purer!" Viscount Remy said plainly.

He was a pure man, a believer in God, a soldier to the letter, and he got away with not participating in politics.

Viscount Remy did not mention the emperor, otherwise the French would argue with him, saying that the emperor is a heretic, a tyrant, a devil king, etc., but when it comes to Her Majesty, even the French have to pay her respects, because this majesty She was born as a princess of the noble Habsburg family, with pure blood, a noble among nobles, and all nobles had to bow to her.

Then the French general and the Austrian nobles told a joke about the Spaniards, that is, the Spaniards cared about the enclaves that were dull, and gave them all to the queen, and forced the Spaniards to pay money to redeem the land~www.wuxiaspot .com~ She became the richest queen in the world!

He also talked about the situation of the French surrendered troops stationed in Verdun. Viscount Remy introduced their treatment. As advertised, they were not sold, ordinary soldiers went to work, and nobles and officers sat and drank tea.

Lieutenant General De Mavuba laughed and said, "I'm relieved, if I really can't beat you, I'll have tea!"

"But if you don't come out to fight now, it's very difficult for us!" Viscount Remy said, "Even if I can buy you tea, it's impossible!"

"We have a military order, and the minister ordered us not to go to war easily!" Lieutenant General de Mavuba said regretfully.

A true warrior, with the fearless spirit of "you have the gun, I have the chest", Lieutenant General de Mavuba is not afraid of face-to-face combat.

"Hey, then we will give you a reason now, which is a bet. Let's fight and see. If you win, we will not destroy Lance City and take a detour. If you don't come out to fight, we will use heavy artillery It's not our fault, it's your cowardice that destroyed the Cathedral of Notre Dame with the trebuchet!" Viscount Remy said solemnly. 2084/10369533
