C2676 The Salbrucon defended.

McMahon's order to retreat brought about unprecedented chaos. The forty thousand strong army had their tails firmly locked in the jaws of the Prussian, as they retreated towards the south along with the corpses.

The French Marshal, who had misjudged the situation, did not know that behind him, Prince Karl actually did not have that many soldiers. Many of his troops were still advancing on the railway line behind him.

It was clearly a 1: 1 army, but in the end, it became a hunting ground for wild rabbits. The terrified French army really thought that they had a huge army of 100,000 behind them.

His heart was bleeding. He knew that at this time, the only ones who could finish the post-hall mission were the Empire's veterans.

These were all French Essence, one less would be enough! However, this kind of mission that required them to die could only be carried out by veterans, and only they still had the honor of being a soldier, and only they had the character that a soldier of France should have.

It had to be said that the French soldiers were extremely brave. All the soldiers who had received the order from the palace hall had faithfully fulfilled their mission.

They fought bravely, one by one, through mountain passes, bridges, and rivers, and against Prussian pursuers that blotted out the sky.

After firing all the bullets, he would use his bayonet to fight with his life on the line.

Life became the cheapest thing, even the most noble and noble of spirits would be ground to smithereens by the millstones of war!

The hot blood of the patriotic warriors was exchanged for the time for the army to retreat. Maybe the delay that a single life could bring about was only one second, but it was only with the statements of countless warriors that McMahon's army safely retreated to the mountain range.

In the end, even Agno, who was closest to the Strasbourg, was captured by the Prussian army. The French citizens in the border area had previously supported the French army to defeat their country with a face full of joy, but in just a few days' time, they had received the news of a terrible defeat.

All the villages and towns were closed, and people had even nailed their doors and windows shut with wooden bars from the inside of the houses. From the gaps in the windows, they watched the Prussian soldiers coming from the north, trembling in fear.

"My God! How could this be, how could this be? "How could our army be defeated, that's impossible …"

There was nothing that was impossible in this world, especially war!

McMahon's cross-border attack this time was actually the limit of the entire war between France and France. Since the start of the war, the French army had never been able to cross the border.

The news of their defeat spread like a virus throughout the northeastern part of France. Soon, it spread to Flosad who was attacking the Salbrucon.

Crash! The cup in Flosad's hand smashed onto the table, the coffee made a complete mess of the Military Maps!

"What did you say?" Say that again? The McMahon leader failed? A full retreat? "

The cavalryman panted heavily, "Yes …" Yes... When we first crossed the border, everything went smoothly … "

"Instructor Du E successfully captured the Wiesanburg. However, I never thought that she would be ambushed by several times the size of the Prussian army. In the chaos of battle, Instructor Du E was ambushed and died …."

"Immediately following that, the Prussian began to encircle the city. The enemy's strength was close to a hundred thousand, so Marshal McMahon had no choice but to give the order to retreat. By now, the Central Army should have already retreated to the Foshan Mountain Pulse!"

"This is bad!" "We've fallen into his trap …" Flosad shouted loudly, "Retreat quickly, give up on Salbrucon!"

It had already been three days since the Second Army attacked the Salbrucon. During these three days, the battle between the two sides were extremely intense, and they fought hand-to-hand against each other several times. However, the Salbrucon did not fall in the end.

Although the outside of the city was completely under the control of the French, Flosad also sent a telegram to the French Emperor saying that he had completed the mission.

Outside of the city, there were already corpses. In these three days, both sides had left more than seven thousand corpses behind, the degree of devastation enough to cause countless French Veterans to feel fear.

The more Flosad fought, the more he felt that there was a problem, he had an ominous premonition.

"Damn it, damn it, damn it!" Why would I waste my time in this city? I should have gone all the way east to support Marshal McMahon! "

"The enemy's main attack direction is the east!" It's on the east side! "Why am I so stupid …"

"Right now, the eastern front has completely collapsed. The enemy army of one hundred thousand has arrived. If I wait a few more days, my retreat will be blocked!"

"Retreat, retreat!"

Without McMahon's support, the Second Army had become the most prominent unit in the offensive. If they did not retreat now, it would be easy for them to be attacked by the Northern and Eastern Prussian Legion s.

He was only a single soldier, how could he go against the Prussian army group with more than a hundred thousand people? If he didn't run now, he would be a fool!

Flosad quickly ordered his men to give up on the Salbrucon, and at the same time, the battle on the front lines was still ongoing!

On the city walls that were covered with corpses, the shooting Prussian army was surprised to find out that the fighting and shouting French had all retreated.

Soon after, tens of thousands of people started to flow into the camp area at the end of their line of sight. Countless soldiers began to load up their vehicles and tie them up to the floating bridges to transport south, while all the cavalry in the entire camp attacked, surrounding Salbrucon to show off their might.

"The French are going to get lost! The French retreated! We have guarded it! "

"God bless Prussia! We won in the end! "

"Fire, fire at these cavalry cover!" In any case, they wouldn't dare to attack the city, so I'll beat them to death … "

Slap, slap, slap, shot from the city walls. People in the Cavalry were constantly falling off their horses. This round of attacks caused the cavalry to not dare to get any closer. They could only stare vigilantly at the Salbrucon, afraid that the Prussian army would take advantage of this situation and give chase.

"It's time to counterattack! The First Regiment began their attack! Take the French Second Army as a breakthrough and bite them! "

The news of the great victory of the eastern front had also reached Steinmetz and Xiao Letian. When the old marshal heard the good news, he had immediately announced the total counterattack without waiting for General Staff's order!

"The Second Army won't be able to escape for too long. He just doesn't want his position to be too prominent. After he returns to France, his goal must be the Spicillin's plateau!"

"He has to defend a path forward for the French Emperor! If we destroy the Second Army, the Western Legion of French Emperor will also be destroyed! "
