C3048 a group of soft bones

General Trochu was also stunned, his escape command was set up very covertly, let alone the artillery observation post who couldn't see anything, even the watchtower at the front line of Prussian army would have a hard time discovering this abandoned hidden pasture.

The time he chose to break out was the darkest moment before dawn. At this moment, the world was filled with the darkness, and the enemy was fighting against each other. Qi Bolin's airship in the sky was also on vacation … In fact, even during the day, Qi Bolin's dirigible was unable to fly due to the continuous north wind.

It could be said that breaking out of the encirclement this time was too secretive, and the temporary headquarters was even more top secret. This spot was actually chosen by Trochu four hours before he broke out of the siege, and only a few upper echelons knew the location.

Why was he so careless and exposed? Wait a minute, it did not seem like it was exposed. So many of the cannonballs had exploded at the edges of the pasture, only four or five of them had entered the pasture and killed a few of the councilors' attendants.

Could it be a coincidence? It didn't seem like it. Why was the firepower so quick and violent? Without a fixed range bombardment from dozens of cannons, it was impossible for it to have such a density!

How could Old General Trochu have known that Bismark had actually given Trochu face? When the artillery revised to shoot at the Elementalists, they had consciously deviated from their original positions.

The artillery shells were concentrated at the southern side of the pasture. To put it bluntly, it meant that the threat of death was far greater than that of killing!

Prussian army's goal was achieved, when had these civil officials ever seen such a scene? Out of hundreds of representatives, only a third had ever joined the army, and that was many years ago.

The wind and moon of Paris had softened their bones, and the courage they usually carried in life and death had been thrown into the dustbin.

"Run!" Let's go back to the city... This attempt to break out of the encirclement has failed, failed! "

Seeing their followers being blown up into a pile of corpses, many of the noblemen were scared to the point of peeing their pants. They jumped onto their war horses or carriages to escape, frantically wanting to leave this terrifying place.

General Trochu was simply unable to stop them. Hundreds of councilors and their subordinates formed a large black mass, blocking the charge of the crowd as they fled towards Paris.

"Everyone, stand still … Don't run... We were close to breaking through... "Don't go!"

The vanguard team had already broken through to the last line of defense of the Prussian army. Just by looking at the army, they could tear a gap to the south.

"My God! God! What's the point of running away, I can't bring away the council and government agencies, what's the use of my Interim Government? Do you want me to bring an empty shell to the Orleans? "

Trochu's eyes turned dizzy as his blood pressure skyrocketed once again.

The Prussian artillery was firing nonstop, pouring firepower onto the abandoned pastures. The councilors and high-ranking officials ran away like rabbits, and within ten minutes the pastures were completely empty.

It would still take some time before the chaos from the rear could spread to the front. The brave France Army at the very front was still fighting with their lives on the line, and all the Prussian army in front of them were crushed to smithereens!

When the last line of defense was completely torn apart, the vanguard unit that rushed out was already a group of blood men.

Everyone was wounded, and blood flowed out to form blood scabs. After that, they would break, and fresh, hot blood would flow out. However, no one knew the pain, and their hearts were filled with victory and joy.

"Send a signal to the general... "We have successfully broken out of the encirclement. We will defend on the spot and wait for the general and the council to break out …"

"Quick, quick, quick..." "We don't have much time left. We won't be able to hold them off for long. Let's make them faster …"

This was an escape route that the soldiers had risked their life for, only God knew if they could last ten minutes or twenty minutes. From afar, they could already see the figures of Prussian army reinforcements.

The exhausted French soldiers launched their defensive formations on the spot. Although their hands were trembling from exhaustion, none of them had an expression of retreat.

The soldiers who were not afraid of death wiped their rifles lightly, and the soldiers who had used up all their bullets wiped off the bloodstains on their bayonets. The defensive positions behind them became heavier and thicker, thousands of brothers rushed out from the gap and formed a strong shield behind them.

In less than ten minutes, more than twenty thousand French troops had formed an east and west, about to engage the Prussian reinforcements, but not a single one of the high-ranking members of Parliament they were calling for could be seen.

"What's going on? What were they waiting for? "There's no more time …"

Amidst these exhortations, some people started to curse out. However, in the next second, a shocking piece of news arrived.

"Report... Report... Congressman and the government officials... Being bombarded …

"They turned around and fled back to the city! "They're all gone. Not a single one escaped …"

"What?" "Bastard!" The entire army that broke through the encirclement exploded. "No way out?" None of them came out of the defensive line that we used our lives to tear apart? "

"My God! Do any of these corrupt officials have a single heart? The bastard from hell! "

The most miserable thing in life is only this much. The things you fought for with your life, yet they were thrown away without any mercy, hundreds of thousands of lives lost to you, yet no one felt the slightest bit of regret!

"Bastard …" We lost so many people, yet they aren't even willing to take the risk of being bombarded? "

"This is war! Bastards! This is war, not going out of the city to hunt and play! "

"Take the old general and leave on your own! "Save the old general from Paris, and we'll leave them …"

But could Trochu walk? After abandoning all government officials and council members, the Interim Government would no longer exist. If he were to break out of the city now, the nature of the city would change!

At this moment, he had just broken out of the encirclement.

At the last moment, the Old General ordered the troops who were trying to break through the encirclement, "All soldiers, move towards the direction of the Orleans. Don't bother with me, you guys can break through!"

"I'm going to stay in this city, with the defense government... To live and die together! "

Breaking through the encirclement began at four in the morning. It was already eight in the morning by now, and the thirty thousand French soldiers who had succeeded in breaking through the encirclement looked at the old general's order and all started feeling sorrowful from the bottom of their hearts.

"My God! What's wrong with our country? "What the hell is going on …" The helpless tears of the soldiers began to fall.

"Go!" No time left... To break out of the encirclement of the Orleans, it's fine as long as you can live! "

The breaking out of the siege of Champigny was the largest battle organized by France in the whole of Paris, with a total of one hundred and sixty thousand men and three hundred thousand more troops in support.

After four hours of bloody battles, the one hundred and sixty thousand elite soldiers had suffered over forty thousand casualties. Finally, they had successfully broken through the encirclement of thirty thousand soldiers!

What was most regrettable was that the Interim Defence Government and the National Assembly did not succeed in breaking through the encirclement, as the cannons of the Prussian army blocked their way out.

The thirty thousand Paris garrison s began their difficult journey. Under the protection of the local guerrillas and the citizens, they engaged in a series of bloody battles with the surrounding Prussian army s.

The distance between Paris and Loire River was only a few hundred kilometers, yet thirty thousand people walked for a whole week.

The number of soldiers that broke out of the encirclement was only 18,000 people!
