C2814 North all the way (1/2)

Although Alfred and the rest were nobles of the empire, they were also of the lower class and did not enjoy the treatment of being welcomed by the marshal.

All the officers saluted. Marshal Ba Zan nodded and said, ”Go in! I hope you all are mentally prepared! ”

Everyone's heart skipped a beat. No one knew what was going to happen, but it seemed like it was serious enough!

After entering the room, they found that the French Emperor was anxiously pacing back and forth by the window. Faintly sounds of gunfire came from outside the window.

French Emperor did not turn around, but only said coldly, ”Prussian has already come, the cannon battle has begun! How long do you think we can hold out? ”

Alfred immediately stood at attention and saluted. ”Your Majesty, our brave army will definitely achieve the final victory. God bless the France …”

”Alright, alright! Don't show your loyalty here, I know better than any of you what the situation is like! ”

”There is a shortage of supplies, ammunition, troops, even military discipline is gradually collapsing …” ”And the rear is more dangerous than the front. The Queen has already sent a few telegrams …”

”Do you know what the Queen said? Alfred, you are the officer of the Queen's cavalry!

Alfred immediately stuck out his chest and replied proudly, ”Your subordinate will listen to Your Highness' teachings …”

Hehe … The French Emperor laughed bitterly, ”How can there be any teachings? My Ou Renni is almost unable to hold on any longer … She said it very clearly, the Salon is the last limit of our retreat, from today onwards, the great army will not retreat to the west! ”

”Paris is 150 kilometers to the west. I originally wanted to return to Paris and make use of the city's defenses and resources to keep the Prussian at bay …”

”But the empress doesn't agree. She clearly saw in Paris that with every step we take, the hearts of the people in Paris will become more and more chaotic. If we really pull back, then the revolution will immediately break out!”

”We have nowhere to retreat to! Thousands of eyes are watching us, we can't retreat! Right now, there is only attack, and only a battle to the death! ”

”Let me ask you now, do cavalry warriors still have the courage to fight?”

All the military officers immediately stood at attention, ”Your Majesty, please rest assured that the imperial cavalry will always charge forward!”

Alfred added, ”Does Your Majesty want all our cavalry to assemble and launch a quick attack on the enemy? ”Of course we have the courage to fight, but we hope to be able to provide more artillery fire support …”

French Emperor waved his hand fiercely, ”There are no cannons, no heavy machine guns, and not even the cooperation of infantry! You don't even have what you want, you can only rely on your warhorses, rifles, and sabers to fight! ”

Alfred's heart gave a start and he thought, This is not good! Are we to die as bait?

But immediately after, the French Emperor revealed the riddle. ”I don't want you to attack from the east, I want you to attack from the north!”

”To the north?” The officers were confused.

At this time, the Crown Prince Eugén stepped forward. ”Yes, with Alfred as the commander, gather the main forces of Queen's cavalry and my Prince cavalry regiment and select the elite troops from the imperial guards and the local troops!”

”You are free to choose a troop of 10,000 or so!”

”Give up on heavy firepower, and without infantry support, you can only carry a limited amount of ammunition …” North, all the way to the north, past Sedan, directly attacking into the borders of Belgium! ”

”Don't be shocked! The mission that we gave you is a matter of life and death for the empire! ”

”We have the latest information, the head of the Chinese... Xiao Letian... Now that he has already left the battle sequence of the Prussian army, he will hide within its borders and watch the battle! ”

”Right at sini, right at the Sony Town north of Sai Dang!”

French Emperor punched on the windowsill, ”That's right! I want you to kill your way through, and use your fastest speed to annihilate the Chinese army and capture Xiao Letian alive! ”

”As long as we can control Xiao Letian, we can force the Prussian to negotiate! This is the mission I gave you! ”
