King's Landing in France

Chapter 270 Fermentation and Spread of Rumors
Because he was too surprised, the blacksmith slapped himself.

Then he asked the sergeant, "Did you really see the Roman legions?"

The sergeant said solemnly: "I see, it's all red, and it's holding a big shield that can hide a person behind."

The blacksmith looked at the Olivier suspiciously, it was ridiculous no matter what.

So he turned his head and said to his subordinates, "Come here and smell the alcohol in his mouth."

Sergeant: "I didn't drink! That's true!"

The blacksmith turned to look at the captain: "Have you seen the Roman legion too?"

The captain shook his head like a rattle: "I didn't see it, but Frost is indeed charging towards us with an eagle flag!"

The hussars looked at each other, and the last lieutenant said: "Perhaps General Frost really rushed towards the Austrians with an eagle flag."

In fact, Frost-An Ning was not at the scene at all, and he couldn't rush to the enemy at all, and there was no eagle flag.

But compared to the Roman Legion that traveled through time and space, the Eagle Banner seemed much more credible.

And the hussars believed it!I believed that Frost charged with the eagle flag in person. As for the Roman legion, he probably misread the French army in the panic of the rout.

Blacksmith: "I don't know if we can make an eagle flag if we fight bravely."

"There must be," said his subordinate. "I heard that troops with good performance can get the flag presented by General Frost himself. That is probably the eagle flag!"

The eagle flag of Rome is not painted with an eagle on it, but the decoration on the top of the flagpole is a metal eagle.

So you can choose what kind of flag you want, and it does not conflict with the eagle flag, so the setting of the eagle flag does not contradict the previous rumors!
The blacksmith waved his hand: "Okay, hand over the captive's gun, put it on the horse, and then quickly open the way and make meritorious deeds!"

The captured captain hurriedly asked: "What should we do if you leave?"

"We don't have time to escort you," the blacksmith pointed to the southwest, "go straight in this direction, surrender to the town where we were formed, and they will take you in!"

At the coalition headquarters, Alvinzi was studying the map with Brunswick, the commander of the Prussian army. Suddenly, a messenger broke into the door: "Report! Your Excellency, Marshal, Your Excellency, the Duke, the troops who just rushed to rescue Babi Village have turned around and returned!"

Brunswick: "What? You bastard, if you turn around like this without permission, you will be punished by military law!"

Alvinzi patted the Prussian commander-in-chief on the shoulder: "Maybe there is a reason, their commander should come to report to us soon."

As soon as the words fell, the orderly opened the door again and let General Brzeski in.

The Hungarian of Slavic descent had always been dressed as a hussar, and he didn't like the general outfit of other generals at all.

"Why are you back, Brzeski?" Marshal Alvinzi flicked his tongue deliberately when he said Brzeski's name, making the pronunciation a bit like Russian.

Brzeski: "Because Babi Village has already collapsed, there is no need to go for reinforcements. The rout troops have all run close to the headquarters. Calculated by the distance, they probably collapsed early this morning."

Alvinzi: "How is that possible! Even if the French army has a superior force, Brigadier General Ferdinand has 2 people, that is, [-] goats, and it will take a day for the French army to catch them!"

"But they were defeated. I asked different defeated soldiers. Some said that they started attacking early in the morning, but they were defeated by the enemy's counterattack. Others said that they were defeated after fighting for several hours. Anyway, they were defeated in the morning. It just collapsed."

As he said that, Brzeski stood aside and pulled out the major who had been hiding behind him: "This is an officer from Ferdinand's staff, you can ask him for details!"

Alvin Qi stepped forward and looked at the officer carefully.

"Hmph, so young, I bet you haven't finished your military courses." Alvinzi muttered, and then waved to the orderly next to him, "Give him a glass of wine to strengthen his courage, and see if he can scare him."

The orderly brought the wine quickly, and the young major drank it down in one gulp, choking and coughing.

After finally coughing, he looked up at Alvinzi: "Marshal, we launched an attack as usual in the morning, but the French army suddenly charged against us.

"Can you imagine? The French army swarmed up in the form of skirmishers, and our right wing was defeated all at once.

"I don't know where the courage of the French army came from, but this is not the most nonsense thing. Then something more terrible happened. Our general went crazy all of a sudden."

Alvinzi: "Crazy? Wait, is this a metaphor, or is it literal?"

"Literally, Your Excellency the Marshal! Brigadier General Ferdinand shouted 'Frost is coming', 'Frost is coming with the eagle flag', turned around and ran!"

Alvinzi: "Frost came with the eagle banner?"

"At least I didn't see it. But... you go ask the broken soldiers."

Alvin Qi: "Go and find some broken soldiers to come over for questioning."

Moments later the rout was brought.

"Your Excellency the Marshal." Several big soldiers were very cautious, obviously they had never seen such a big official as the Marshal up close.

The Austrian army is different from the French army. Noble officers and soldiers are two different things. Even a small lieutenant is a noble family inherited from two to three generations. He will bring two orderlies to serve him on the battlefield and drink milk every morning. eat eggs.

Even a small lieutenant is not something that a big soldier can see all day long.

"Tell me, how did you fail?"

asked the Marshal.

Several big-headed soldiers looked at each other, and then looked at the oldest one together.

The veteran said to the marshal seriously: "It's the Roman Legion!"

Alvin Qi gasped: "Frost formed a new legion?"

"No, it's the Roman legionaries! Wearing red armor and carrying shields."

Alvinzi was shocked.

The veteran vowed: "I saw it with my own eyes!"

"Look," Major Router said, "it was just a few people at first, but now if you ask any router, they will tell you that the Roman Legion is coming. This is definitely a sorcery. I always thought that Frost's title 'Wizard of the Battlefield' is a metaphor, and it turns out he really is a magician!"

Alvinzi looked at Brunswick.

Brunswick: "Perhaps Frost really charged with the eagle flag, and the rout soldiers misread it in their panic. For the rout soldiers, the grass and trees swaying in the wind would also be regarded as pursuers. "

Alvinzi: "He has really carried the eagle flag. This cobbler has great ambitions. He really wants to be the Caesar of the new era..."

"Then he has to change the flag of his country to red and gold first, instead of the current red, white and blue," Brunswick said.

Brunswick didn't know that the flag of Frost's motherland was really red and gold, which was the same color as the most orthodox Roman flag.
