C2873 Marshal's watch

McMahon looked at Flosad who was kneeling painfully on the ground, and a hundred mixed feelings arose in his heart. He knew that Flosad was not a coward who had followed him for so many years.

In the battle of Salbrucon and Spicillin's plateau, Flosad had indeed escaped, but looking at the situation at that time, the decision to preserve his strength was not his own decision.

In the army at that time, there was indeed a large number of veterans who chose to protect the veterans' legion, considering the many political reasons. In many of the battles, the local garrison troops and recruit troops were used as much as possible.

The reason here was simply too complicated. Although McMahon could not finish speaking for three days and three nights, one thing was for sure. The reason why Flosad had been defeated twice was mainly because of political reasons, not because of his cowardice.

In this battle, all the generals had completely thrown away their previous chaotic thoughts. They had all united their minds and prepared for a bloody battle to hasten the peace.

At this time, no one would hide anything, and everyone would put in their all to fight for it. It was a pity that Flosad met his old opponent again, Xiao Letian, and even had such an incredible weapon …

Looking at the mighty airship in the southern sky, McMahon sighed and pulled Flosad who was crying bitterly, "Forget it! You don't have all the responsibility... "Now is not the time to be held accountable. What we want is a solution!"

"No one would have thought that Xiao Letian would prepare such a weapon, we simply have no way to restrain him, damn it …"

"NO!" There's still a way! " Flosad said loudly, "As long as His Majesty agrees to let me place the cannons at the central tower, we can lure the enemy's airships over, and when that happens, we can blast him apart with cannons!"

In the center of Sedan City was a fortress that was twenty meters tall, which was also the central tower of the French Emperor. This was the highest point of the fortress, allowing a clear view of the battle situation.

Xiao Letian's airship was not something that could be destroyed by ordinary rifles, unless they could use cannons as anti-aircraft cannons. However, the bronze forged Napoleon Cannon was simply too heavy, it was impossible to defend against.

Even if it was erected, it would be very difficult for people to move and aim. After all, the airship was moving, and if they met with danger, they could change their direction to avoid it.

The only way to hit a moving airship was to raise the cannon to a height that was on par with the airship or at a basic level. The only way to do that was to place the cannon at the central tower.

"Marshal!" The cannons were set up in a twenty-meter high tower. This way, the muzzle of the cannons would be able to freely adjust the angle of fire, unless the enemy airship suddenly rose up … "Of course, as long as it doesn't increase too much, we still have a chance!"

"Not now, our cannons can't be put up!" Flosad said with sorrow.

McMahon frowned as he considered the possibility carefully. "The chances are very slim, basically all of this needs to be done in secret, once the airship discovers them, they will immediately change their altitude!"

"Being able to keep it a secret is one thing, but the key is that you only have one or two chances to shoot!" "As long as we expose ourselves by firing the cannons, the airship will definitely move away …"

"Forget it, there's no other way. You can give it a try. Take two cannons with you. The tower is small and it can only hold two cannons …"

"Yes sir!" Flosad brought his subordinates and hastily moved towards the direction of the central tower.

McMahon listened to the intense sounds of gunfire outside and felt his heart clawing at his chest. He borrowed the collar of his military uniform to suddenly place his handgun on his waist, "Come with me …" If you don't direct me personally, I won't feel at ease! "

"Marshal!" It was too dangerous. The enemies in front of him were all at each other's throats. If he wasn't careful, he would run into the enemy's vanguard. It's too dangerous. You have to lead from the back, and we'll help you boost your morale! "

McMahon shook his head and said with determination, "The difference in strength is huge. If I were to hide in a safe place to give out orders, the brothers would not fight to the death!"

"I've already said everything I needed to say before the battle. Now, the soldiers want our actions. The most important thing is my actions!"

"Only if I appear beside them will they realize that we have no other choice but to hold on to this battle!"

"It's already half past one in the afternoon. As long as I keep watch until nightfall …" This is my lowest requirement. No matter what happens after night, I will send envoys to negotiate with the Prussian! "

"No way, after dark, I will personally go see Bismark! I will fight for the last chance of survival for the king and our army! "

"Marshal …" The generals were choked with sobs, unable to utter a single word.

Under the heavy encirclement of three hundred thousand Prussian army s, the French Army in their predicament no longer had any options left. They were like a boat on the verge of sinking, shivering under the impact of the storm!

In order to fight for peace, he had to risk his life to maintain the morale of his troops.

When he walked out of the hidden command post, he subconsciously looked back in the direction of the central tower and thought to himself, "Your Majesty, if you could walk out now, you would be in the middle of the soldiers …"

"I think, not only will we last until tonight, even three days and three nights shouldn't be a problem!"

But these words could only be hidden deep in his heart, he didn't dare to reveal any of his dissatisfaction towards French Emperor!

What was Napoleon III doing now? If the French army were to see the current French Emperor, they would definitely be very disappointed and disappointed. At this moment, the emperor had already become a thin old man who had no one to rely on.

The old man's hair was completely white, and he looked as if he had aged a decade or so.

Member of Parliament Raul did not escape back to Paris. Instead, he followed the army and was trapped in Sedan. The terrified council member looked out of the window at the battle and was at a loss for words.

"Your Majesty! Another Prism Castle collapsed from the explosion … What to do! There are too many enemies, too many! "

How would Napoleon be in the mood to look out the window? He didn't even have the guts to raise his head, he only used his hands to cover his appetite as he laid on the table in pain.

When he saw that Xiao Letian's airship had captured another Prism Castle, this old representative walked over to His Majesty's side and whispered into his ear.

"Your Majesty … I really can't … Just consider surrendering! "

"What?" Bastard … You want me to become the ruler of the nation of death! " Napoleon raised his head in anger.

But at this time, the Member of Parliament Raul was no longer as afraid of him as he was of the past. "Your Majesty, I am truly considering for you.

"Didn't you already send the crown prince away? Even Her Highness the empress had already prepared her softness, had already prepared her final thoughts … Are you really going to insist on this? "

"You're lying to yourself?"
