Chapter 2785: lost at the bottom of the feet
The Marquis of Koscielny returned to Versailles to report to Louis XIV on the front-line military situation, and Louis XIV was very furious!
He roared: "Dulenni can't drive away the enemy, is it because he wants to drive away me?"
Although Dureny didn't say what he meant, it was clear that once the Shenluo army approached Paris, Louis XIV could only run away.
Although the defense of the Greater Paris City is strong, it is difficult to defend it when the enemy hits the city.
There are too many variables, one of which is that according to Earl Loufoy, chief intelligence officer, there are hostile elements in Paris, and some people even occupy high positions in the city defense army. Once Paris is besieged, unexpected things may happen.
To ensure safety, it was best for Louis XIV to leave Paris once the enemy approached.
As for Versailles, there is no need to think about it. There is no strong city defense there, and the enemy can attack at once.
Evacuate Versailles?
Louis XIV was really sad, he didn't want to go to Paris, he hated Paris, because the impression of Paris city and Parisians on him was too bad.
Although the city of Paris in the seventeenth century was a star fashion city in Europe, its sanitation was very poor. It has been described earlier, so there is no need to say more.
Parisians are full of rebellious spirit, and most of them are guys with horns on their heads. It doesn't matter whether you are a king or not, if you overthrow you, you will be overthrown.
So Louis XIV left Paris and ran the Palace of Versailles on the outskirts of Paris, where there were only loyal subjects and controlled nobles, and no one made him feel uncomfortable. Live comfortably.
If he left Versailles and lived a life of ups and downs, Louis XIV's complexion would be bad.
When he was young, he and the queen mother were forced to leave Paris by the Fronders, wandering around, going out, everything was difficult, it was really an unbearable memory.
It is dangerous to stay in Paris, and it is troublesome to leave Paris.
Seeing the king's anger, Marquis Koscielny bit the bullet and said: "Your Majesty, from the perspective of the front line, the soldiers have already worked very hard. If Marshal Dureny's deployment is disturbed, I'm afraid there will be chaos in the army."
He whispered: "Marshal Durenni said that as long as we last until winter, the Shenluo army will work **** the expedition, and the supply will be unfavorable, then we will have a chance. Now is not the time to fight back."
Louis XIV asked the Marquis to retire annoyed. He summoned the Prince of Condé and asked him, "The battle on the front line is like this. What can you do?"
Prince Condé had complained about Louis XIV not considering him as his commander before, but now it seems that "the prince thanked the king for his kindness", and it would not be much better if it were him.
He is well-informed and has a good understanding of the situation on the front line. After learning about the combat effectiveness of the Shenluo Army, he was greatly surprised.
Needless to say, the Shenra Army’s invasion this time is very disciplined, the business is fair, they don’t enter the city easily, they don’t rob people’s wealth and population, they play loud and beautiful slogans, and at the same time resolutely kill the rebels, they don’t rob money in the enemy’s territory, and Sending money, sending money made many French nobles go to neutrality.
Such an enemy is already different from the Shinra army in the Thirty Years War. They have a lot of ambition, and it is really not easy to deal with whoever is the commander.
Prince Condé would not be so stupid as to take chestnuts out of the fire for Louis XIV, and he himself was not sure, so he reported: "Marshal Dureny fought well, if it were a minister, it would be nothing more than that!"
"Oh!" Louis XIV was very disappointed.
However, he didn't have to worry about it soon, because the French army finally encountered tigers when they went up to the mountains. When they blocked the Shenluo army, they were driven to the front by the Shenluo army, which actually gave the Shenluo army an advantage. terrain.
Marshal Dureny has calculated everything, but what he didn't expect is that the French army lost at the foot. Originally, the French army was on the inner diameter and the distance was close, but the Shenra army was on the outer diameter and the distance was far. ahead.
If it were the former Shinra army, it would definitely be blocked by the French army, but these Shinra troops were trained using the infantry drill code of the Nanhua Army. Generally, they would march five kilometers a day in full armor, and from time to time they would have long-distance training. , plus sufficient nutrition, running and running, the speed of Shen Luojun ran out, and he developed a pair of iron feet.
But the French army, how could they have such ability, they could support at first, but after a while, the fat cows were dragged down, and the skinny cows were dragged to death, and they could only stagger forward numbly.
Therefore, when the French army saw the Shenluo army occupying the high ground, they felt a sense of relief: finally they can fight a battle happily!
Emnonville, which is only 40 kilometers away from Paris, is an insignificant small town in the territory of French rule. There have been no prominent figures, and no major events have happened here before, so it is unknown.
Today, the city will be fortunate to witness the scene of the decisive battle between the two large armies. The Shinra army rushed ahead of the French army and set up defenses in the southern hilly area of Emononville to face the French army who rushed to the city.
Seeing the opponent's vigor and ambition, Marshal Durenni wanted to avoid fighting at first, but he took a closer look and found that the opponent occupies a favorable location, and the control area is very wide, leading to all directions, it will be difficult to continue to intercept, the only way is to fight!
The time is October 8, 1672. This day is very meaningful to Europe, because the French army and the army of the Shinra Empire launched a decisive battle.
At this time, the French army consisted of 100,000 royal troops, 80,000 noble private troops, a total of 180,000 soldiers, and the Shenluo army consisted of 150,000 Austrian troops, and 220,000 troops of 70,000 princes.
The Shenluo army has a slightly larger number, but the French army is not afraid!
These days, the French army obeyed orders and ran around, living a very miserable life.
The fortified defense of Tadenoy was now left behind by the French, and it left only a terrible and vague memory: heat, dust, hunger, fatigue, blood, and the arduous march of large troops on rough dirt roads , raising a cloud of dust.
The French had to retreat, entrench, and fight—retreat, entrench, and fight.
Fort Uchis is a nightmare like a world away~www.wuxiaspot.com~The same is true for Fort Milom. In those places, the French army stubbornly blocked the Shenluo army and fought with them desperately, even though they killed the Shenluo army every time. They were repulsed, and the number of casualties was more than that of the French army, but the Shenluo army snaked forward like a cruel python, chasing fiercely, sometimes retreating after being injured, but then pounced up again!
They always formed a sinister arc to the northwest, trying to cross the French defense line, approaching Paris step by step, and pounced on Versailles!
Enough, enough, let us fight and destroy these hypocrites who are in league with heretics!
The morale of the troops was high. On the contrary, Marshal Durenni was uneasy. He thought that the difference in strength between the two sides was not too great. He felt that there was a need to fight, but he was worried that the loss would be too large, and he wanted to retreat after the fight. The center breaks through the Shinra army and wins quickly.
"What's wrong with me?" Marshal Durenni couldn't help wondering, he always felt that there was something he didn't expect, and what variables existed? But the situation no longer allowed him to think too much.
He asked the orderly to fetch cold water for him, and after he regained consciousness, the orderly put on a splendid outfit for him, holding the marshal's scepter in his hand, straddling a white horse, and appeared radiantly in front of the phalanx of the large army, wherever he went, The soldiers cheered loudly: "Fight for France!" 2084/10398862
