Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

Ba Zan had guessed wrong, Napoleon III had also guessed wrong, they had all thought that the target of Prince Karl's army was Ba Zan's main force, but they never thought that the enemy would be able to easily avoid Ba Zan's army.

More than a hundred thousand Prussian army's main forces were out, heading southwest. Along the way, they captured many towns and villages, and those garrison troops were no match for the elite Prussian army.

The Mann River, the important river that protected Paris, changed hands almost completely in one night!

All the bridges and crossings were heavily armed, and there were even engineers who planted a large amount of explosives. If the French dared to attack, they would be blown up.

All the boats were taken, and Prince Karl split the remaining main body of soldiers into two, relying on each other in a horned form to resist the French counterattack.

When Ba Zan saw that the Mann River had lost, he was so angry that he nearly fainted. He hurriedly ordered his main forces to attack the southwest.

However, Prince Karl had already made up his mind to defend the Mann River at all costs. He started to build defenses and the situation reversed.

Just as Prince Karl had defeated two of the enemies, Lao Maoqi finally gave the order to attack. Steinmetz's army was the main attacker's blade.

A hundred thousand Prussian army s immediately came in from the northeast of the Ba Zan Corps. Their attacking positions were extremely tricky and they were at the point of connection between the Ba Zan Army and the Ba Zan Army, which was also the most chaotic place for defense.

Prince Karl was waiting for this chance. He ordered two armies of over 60,000 soldiers to surround Ba Zan's army from the south.

The Prussian army s from the north and south had formed an angle that perfectly surrounded Ba Zan, while a huge gap appeared in the east side of the legion.

Ba Zan finally understood that the Prussian was trying to kill him. Damn it Prussian, they are trying to cut me out of the Salon's defense system! "

"They are forcing me to break out from the east and then sticking to my butt as they chase … They are sending me back to the Mace! "

"What an amazing move! They're trying to break our Emperor's main forces into pieces!" "Vicious, it is truly vicious!"

Ba Zan probably never would have thought that such a poison scheme would actually not be come from Prussian, but from the Eastern Führer who had such a profound insight in the Belgium.

It was because of Xiao Letian's ingenious deduction that such a disassembly plan was made. Xiao Letian's goal was very clear, it was to cut apart Ba Zan's army and force them to retreat towards the east.

Then, the army attacked Salon City and finally forced French Emperor to flee towards the north!

If everything went well, when the French Emperor fled to the Sedan region, the only thing he would be able to do was burn incense to the hundred thousand people around him!

What could a hundred thousand people do? Prussia could have killed it all with three or four times the force!

Xiao Letian's offer was the highest military secret. Only seventy years after the Franco-Prussian War ended did the German archives decrypt the messages from that time in batches.

Later generations of scholars looked at the Fuehrer's telegram and sighed deeply. Everyone was amazed at his accurate judgement of the overall strategy, especially his understanding of the human heart.

However, these decrypted telegrams caused quite a stir. At that time, many of the French Nation's people went to the Chinese embassy to strongly protest, attracting the attention of the entire world's media!

Many times, scheming was not a secret. The real strategy was to let you see through it, but there was nothing you could do about it!

Ba Zan had encountered such a situation. He already understood the Prussian's plan, but what could he do?

Prince Karl's army was in the south, Steinmetz's army in the north, and they were all elite troops with high morale and sufficient supplies.

On the other hand, their morale was low after losing multiple battles, and supplies were scarce. So what if they had such a troop? Even if they had seen through the enemy's scheme, what could they do? Would he be able to beat them?

After retreating in succession, Ba Zan Army was simply unable to withstand the pincer attack from the two Prussian main forces. In the end, the old marshal could only grind his teeth and command his troops to break out of the encirclement towards the east.

"Let's get out of here! To the east, where the children we have left are still waiting for me to save! "

"We did not lose! Attack towards the east all the way, I'll return your army of 200 thousand! "

Ba Zan finally broke out of the encirclement towards the east, while the French Emperor in the west continued to order McMahon to attack Steinmetz's group. He ordered McMahon to restore contact with Marshal Ba Zan.

But who would have thought that the moment McMahon's army took action, they would be struck hard by Mao Qi and Bismark's main army!

The Prussian army had used more than 300 Krupp steel gun s, and the flowering bomb s were smashing towards McMahon's army like hailstones.

The French army that had just rushed out of the camp was blown up into a mess. Corpses were strewn all over the battlefield. Wailing soldiers were fleeing back like mice.

McMahon's army was already in a miserable state in Foshan Mountain Pulse, but the crazy attacks of Karl's army had scared them out of their wits. This time, they met with an even more elite army from the middle, and they retreated back to Salon City without any sort of retaliation.

Thus, Xiao Letian's plan was perfectly half completed. The only thing left was to force the French Emperor to flee northwards!

Ba Zan's army was chased away. French Emperor looked at the dense gunfire in the east in fear, his heart filled with despair. He looked at his son beside him and sighed.

"With Ba Zan gone, how many of us are left?"

Prince Eugen lowered his head. "We have prepared a total of four hundred thousand people for this war …" Paris and the Navy have moved nearly a hundred thousand... "

"Of the remaining 300,000 people, 100,000 have already been dispersed during the war. Many of them have already fallen into enemy territory!"

"We... We only have a little more than 230 thousand in Salon... Now, Ba Zan has brought a hundred thousand people to break out of the siege … "

"We …"

The Crown Prince was at a loss for words, even a fool would do such a simple math problem, French Emperor felt dizzy, "Is there only one hundred and thirty thousand people left? I am a dignified Second Empire, yet in the end, I was left with such a small army? "

"Child... You can break out! "Don't follow me, go find your mother. Leave this place first …"

"NO!" Father, if I don't leave, we still have hope … Our cavalry unit should have broken through the borders of the Belgium last night! "

"I reckon the good news right now is on the road! I can't leave, we still have a chance! "

But at this time, the French Emperor did not listen to his son. Escort the crown prince to Calais and execute his orders immediately! "

The Imperial Guard swarmed in, and they dragged the Crown Prince out of the room, ignoring his struggles.

That night, Crown Prince Eugén was secretly sent out of the Salon, heading northwest straight to Jia Lai City!
