Chapter 2780: The French wear skirts!
It is also said that Matuidi led an army of 30,000 to rush forward, completed the four-day itinerary within two days, and immediately merged with the Bavarian army of the Shenluo Empire outside the city of Reims.
The Bavarian army was well-equipped, strong in morale, and outnumbered. They pressed up all at once, with guns and guns unleashed, and hit hard.
As a result, the French army was defeated. After losing 2,000 men, Matuidi shouted "Back! Back!"
The retreat horn sounded, the French fled in embarrassment, and the Bavarians didn't chase after them. They laughed loudly at the Gallic chicken whose feathers were plucked by us, which made the French feel uncomfortable.
Once upon a time, the French army looked down on Europe, punched Spain, and set foot on Austria. You Bavarians are nothing!
However, in today's battle, the Bavarians surprised the French!
They recharge their batteries, have a strong will to fight, have sharp muskets, a large number of cannons, and throw bombs far and hard. The French came from a long distance, exhausted and severely lacking in physical strength, unable to withstand the offensive and could only retreat.
"Hahaha!" Grand Duke Ferdinand Maria of Bavaria, who was watching the battle from behind, laughed out loud, unable to close his mouth.
He participated in the Thirty Years' War in Europe when he was young, and suffered from the French. Even Munich, the capital of the Grand Duchy of Bavaria, was captured by the French army. Now it is a good thing to be able to report his past revenge. It will come to light in the evening!
The Grand Duke of Bavaria was delighted, while General Matuidi was disappointed.
Of course he knew that the Shinra army had the upper hand, but he was quite resourceful. He sent part of the army to lure the enemy, and arranged an army to ambush on the two wings, so that the enemy who wanted to catch up was caught off guard.
The tactic was good, and it could turn a disadvantage into an advantage. Unexpectedly, the enemy would not be fooled, swallowed the bait and spit out the hook. The French lost their troops in vain, which made the French depressed.
What made the French even more frustrated was the advance of the Bavarian army. However, the French did not dare to fight, so they could only retreat back breathlessly, because the Bavarians were followed by a large group of Austrians.
After hitting the Bavarians, the Austrians don't talk about martial arts, and they can overwhelm the French when they swarm up.
In the past, the army of the Shinra Empire was too large and the French still did it to them!
Matuidi retreated to the city of Tadenois, where the main force of the French army led by Marshal Dureny followed them, and then stabilized their position.
The sound of guns continued to ring out, and white mist rose from the position. The two sides launched long-distance surveillance and shelling, as a test before attacking.
On the high hill behind the Shinra Army, Marshal Raimondo Montecuccoli of the Shinra Army led the nobles and senior generals to raise binoculars to observe the enemy's situation.
On-site "long guns and short guns", each person has a telescope, most of which are binoculars with adjustable focus, and there are also monoculars, which are large barrel-type telescopes, which can easily zoom in on the distant scene and reveal the details.
The popularization of telescopes was only a matter of breakthroughs in the glass manufacturing technology of the South China Empire. The Chinese made expensive glass into cabbage prices, and the cost of derived optical instruments and optical glass was greatly reduced. In the past, senior generals were required to equip them. Some monoculars are even available in ordinary soldiers in the Austrian army.
With good binoculars, the enemy's situation was clearly seen, and Marshal Raimondo Montecuccoli couldn't help laughing so loudly that the wrinkles on his face stretched out.
Naturally, everyone jokingly asked: "Why is the marshal laughing?" "What is the Duke laughing at, can you share it with us?"
"I laughed at the French for laughing at us for not being warriors. From today's perspective, the French are real cowards!" The old marshal laughed contemptuously.
Everyone laughed and echoed: "The French are real cowards, they have no guts, tortoises!"
The French did not choose to be strong, but relied on the city of Tadenoy as a "brave". The soldiers and civilians went into battle and worked together to dig out many long and deep trenches, and piled the mud of the trenches into walls. The wall is guarded, that is, "deep trenches and thick fortifications". The French rely on fortifications to block the advancement of the Shenluo army and do not fight the Shenluo army in field battles.
This is a last resort. The current situation of the French army is not good. First, the morale of the Shenra army is high due to the winning streak. Second, the French army is insufficient. If the two armies fight, the French army may be defeated by the Shenra army. If you face each other and lie down, then the general trend will be gone.
The problem is that the French used to be very high-profile, claiming that under the guidance of God, the French army can be invincible and invincible. If the enemy does not fight, they will laugh at them to their heart's content.
It is true that during the Thirty Years War in Europe, the French had the upper hand, and the army of the Shenluo Empire fought very aggrievedly. One of the seven elector states, the Archdiocese Electorate of Trier, even became the French. In Happy Valley and the buffer zone, the French came and went freely on their land, and the rest of the electorate had suffered defeats under the French.
Now, the French are swallowing their anger, and the people of the Shenluo Empire are proud.
Wisdom flashed in the old marshal's eyes, and he ordered: "Please ask the Bavarian army, the Saxon army, the Brandenburg army and the Austrian third army to attack the French army. If we want to fight, then we will rely on fortifications to fight, and there is no need to rush."
He said to Archduke Ferdinand Maria: "I will trouble His Royal Highness to command the battle!"
"Okay, okay!" Grand Duke Ferdinand Maria couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear, patted his chest and said it was on me.
The marshal's order shows that this is a battle of the gods, and there will be victories without defeat, and the generals will gladly accept the order.
After the various ministries reorganized their teams, they went to battle. The Grand Duke of Bavaria sent an envoy to the French army, demanding that the two armies fight. However, the French refused and raised the card of immunity.
In this way, the hornet's nest was stabbed, and Grand Duke Ferdinand Maria was not in a hurry to fight, and ordered all the troops to dig trenches and approach the French army's positions, while slandering the eighteen generations of the French ancestors!
"Come out and fight if you have the guts. If you hide in the city, you are a coward and a coward!"
"Are you still warriors? Are you still knights? Can you touch your bottom?"
"Do you dare to say that you are the descendants of the Franks? You are the descendants of the illegitimate sons of the Franks!" (illegitimate children have no status in the upper class of Europe)
"You French in skirts~www.wuxiaspot.com~ You can compare with Don Fernando Chacon to see who is more beautiful! Oh, French chick, show us a dance!" (Don Fernando Chacon Kong is a Spanish admiral who was given a woman's clothes because of his timidity and avoidance of war)
"It's better for a woman to fight than you, hide at home and eat mama's milk!"
"You hypocrites, if the devil really comes, you have to hide in the mountains, and it depends on us to save the world!"
…
The Shenluo army didn't bother to shoot anymore, and they were so patronizing that they had a lot of fun.
The French cursed back a few words at first, but gradually they didn't say anything. The Shenluo army took advantage of them, and the French were so angry that their seven orifices were smoked, and the veins on their foreheads popped out!
A French general said angrily: "Frank's descendants are all warriors, children follow me!" 2084/10373489
