Chapter 453 Seductive!Sedan! (Second update, please subscribe)
On August 8, the German Confederate Army, which had realized the encirclement of the French 31nd Army, launched a general attack on it.

Seeing that things were not going well, Napoleon III and McMahon led the Charon Army to flee to the northeast, and the German army immediately caught up.

Facing the pursuit and siege of the German army, the French army had to retreat to Sedan.

Sedan!

Around Sedan, there is an open area, with no danger to defend, and no fortress to use.The French army that hastily withdrew to the city of Sedan was not even in a hurry to build fortifications, but suffered a severe blow from the German army.

On September 9st, the Battle of Sedan began!

On the same day, as soon as the battle started, the Prussian army assembled 700 Krupp cannons and bombarded the French camps inside and outside the city. In the next half day, shells fell on the French positions like raindrops, and the entire city of Sedan was devastated. The sea of ​​fire and the smoke filled the air, and the French army suffered countless casualties. The rest of the people rushed into the fort, and even McMahon was injured several times.

"Marshal, my Marshal, how are you? My God!"

In the underground wine cellar of a mansion in Sedan, the exhausted French emperor, Napoleon III, saw that McMahon was injured, and immediately became concerned about his safety.

"Your Majesty, I have no problem. Now we are surrounded here, hundreds of thousands of troops are crowded here..."

McMahon's tone became a little low, even a little lost.He has repeatedly opposed aiding Bazin, what is the best aid?
It was they who stood firm in Paris and then attracted the Prussians to attack Paris!

But what about Your Majesty?
Originally, His Majesty also agreed to his suggestion, but a telegram from the Regency Council in Paris changed everything.

"If you don't support Bazin, there will be extremely bad consequences for Paris. Facing this situation, it is really doubtful whether the capital can defend itself!"

Well now, all of them are surrounded by Prussians.

Bazin is in Metz, maybe he has already started to break through, but whether he can break through is still unknown.As for him?Sedan is surrounded.

France is over.But McMahon knew that as the commander he could not say this sentence.

"Marshal, if something happens to you, France will definitely be over. I really can't imagine what will happen without you..."

what!
McMahon looked at His Majesty with wide eyes, do you know what you are talking about?
Is this what you should say as an emperor?
"Your Majesty, France will not fail, you have to believe..."

What do you believe?

reinforcements?

There are no more reinforcements.

All French troops are surrounded!
All the troops!

"Your Majesty, Nan Hua people! Nan Hua has promised to send out their powerful airship troops. As long as we persevere, Your Majesty, I think we will see Nan Hua's airship soon!"

Commander Chalon's words made Napoleon III look forward to it, and said with some doubts.

"Airship? Will my niece really send his airship?"

The niece he was talking about was of course Charlotte who married Zhu Xianhai, and now the airship was like the last straw.

The only question is - will they come?

As Daniel rode into the middle of the unfamiliar, burning city, the bombardment continued, but seemed to have slowed down: the Germans had moved the circle of fire to the periphery, and the shells were still falling , but no longer bombed indiscriminately like before.Instead, it was strictly targeted to certain areas, so Daniel was able to take a closer look at his surroundings. ．
Everything was burning all around, all the houses and buildings, even the church and nearby houses were burning, all of that.Everything that can burn is burned there,

Even what cannot burn is burning!

Amidst the roar of flames, the sound of shells crashing and the flying of hot shrapnel, almost everyone was running around in fear.

And horses neighing, not far away, horses without owners galloping through the streets, and houses burning with people being burned alive.

Daniel is not familiar with this Yaohan.He broke through the Prussian defenses on horseback and broke into the city at night.But now the city presented before his eyes was shrouded in thick smoke and fire, and many running people fell down amidst the flying shrapnel.

Daniel rode his horse and ran forward under the gunfire for a while. He barely recognized the location of the city hall, and he ran towards it. There was no one there, and there was no one in the empty city hall.

"Where is the person? Where is the person?"

Where are you going now?

"Is there anyone? Is there anyone?",
While running in the street, Daniel rode his horse and held the back of his head with his hands. He rode over the bullet craters, piles of stones and bricks. For a moment, he even felt a sharp, hot Shrapnel flew past his face.

Stumbling and running on the street, Daniel could hear the roar of shells tearing apart. When he ran forward, he saw an officer and asked loudly.

"Your Majesty, where is Your Majesty?"

Right here, he felt the approach of some kind of colossus on his back, almost an instinct to survive, he jumped off the horse, then hugged the back of his head with both hands, and threw himself into a nearby bomb crater.At this moment he heard the sound of an explosion, and suddenly a terrible force pushed him into the sand. This force was so strong that he couldn't breathe, and he curled up under this pressure. , sucking in the air greedily.

There was another person in the crater, also breathing there. It was an officer. The officer with a dusty face looked at him and asked.

"How did you get here, you're at war now, don't you know?"

"War, I know, I know!"

Daniel said excitedly.

"It was because of the war that I came here. You see, this is a newspaper. Now all the newspapers in Europe are reporting this."

"Report what?"

"The airship, Nanhua's airship, they are on their way here, sir, where is His Majesty, we must tell him the good news! And..."

Daniel looked at the soldiers running around and said loudly.

"Hey, gentlemen, you don't have to worry anymore, airships, Nanhua's airships are here, they are our allies, and soon our airships will blow up all the Germans into the sky..."

After receiving the news, Nasan was so excited that he couldn't even speak. God can testify.

This news is definitely the best news he has heard this month.For Nasan, who was physically and mentally exhausted and tortured by illness, this good news was enough to keep him going.

"God bless they finally came..."
