Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

Gan Bida did not rest for a minute, and he would not let his subordinates' group rest. Just as he stepped onto the ground of Southern Bank, Gan Bida gave a speech that was filled with excitement!

"Great French people! Our motherland is bleeding, and our people are at a critical juncture of life and death! "

"All the Prussian has to do is to exterminate the dead! They want to destroy the great civilization in France! "

"The cowards, cowards, and countless other people with ulterior motives are plotting to sell their country together. They have long bent their knees to the invaders!"

"Paris has less than three million people surrounded by the three hundred thousand Prussian army, and yet none of them have ever broken out of the encirclement!"

"Why is that? This is because those weaklings were already scared out of their wits! "

"Children of the motherland! Are we going to watch the civilized France fall at the hands of the feudal Prussia? "

"Could it be that the light of civilization brought about by the revolution will still be destroyed by the feudal monarch in the end?"

"I can't accept this! "What about you?"

The impassioned speech incited all the soldiers present. Gan Bida jumped onto the cannon and pointed towards the north!

"Warriors of the France! Our homeland's strength is ten times that of Prussia, and we own a gigantic colony that is more than ten times that of the mainland. We have resources that the Prussian would never have thought of! "

"Why should we lose?" Why is it that we don't even dare to fight back when our capital is surrounded? Why! "

"Right now, the motherland only needs one victory, and the people only need one victory to boost their morale! "The cowards of Paris did not dare to fight, and the northern legions have been annihilated under the command of the incompetent Emperor!"

"So where is the hope of the Republic? Who else can we count on other than our Southern Regiment? The Orleans must become the turning point of this war! "

"We are the saviors of the motherland! "We will use victory to ignite the flames of the French War of Resistance!"

"My brothers and sisters! What city was on the other side of the river? It's the Orleans! It is the holy city where the Joan of Arc has saved the France! "

"This is where Joan of Arc received the blessings of the Archangel Saint Amir, Saint Mary Gali, and Saint Gallone …"

"It was also here that he led the France's army to defeat the British!"

"It is also here that our Holy Maiden shouted out her faith 'For the France, I will die just like that!'"

Gan Bida was already bursting with tears from excitement, his fingers reaching far into the distance, "My brothers and sisters from France! Which one of you doesn't know about the Holy Cross Cathedral on the North Shore? Who doesn't know of the memorial square for the martyrs of Joan of Arc? "

"Joan of Arc's heroic soul is watching us from the sky! If you don't fight to the death right now, how long are you going to wait? "

Gan Bida suddenly knelt down on one knee and prayed sincerely towards the tall and big Holy Cross Plaza in the north. The tens of thousands of Loire River Regiment soldiers around him all cried with hot tears in their eyes, kneeling in the dust!

"Joan of Arc's heroic soul protect France, I will definitely use my life to fulfill your oath … For the sake of the France, I will not hesitate to die! "

"Comrades! I will stand here and watch as you liberate our city, and watch as your legions defeat the enemy! "

"From this moment on, the battle will never stop!"

The Joan of Arc was the national hero of the France, and many scholars believed that the achievements of the Joan of Arc was the sprout of French Nation. Without the Holy Maiden, there would be no French nationalism!

Generations of emperors, including the Napoleon the War God, all had great respect for the affairs of the Joan of Arc!

How important the victory in the Orleans's battle was to the France could be seen from the situation in the Hundred Years War.

At that time, the internal strife in France was severe and the strength of the country was greatly exhausted. Britain had already taken over Paris, the entire northern France became British territory, and the Orleans became the frontline to protect the fragile south.

When the country was about to be completely exterminated, Joan of Arc appeared out of nowhere, using her identity as the Holy Maiden to boost the morale of the entire French army.

And now, in the Franco-Prussian War, the Orleans had been bestowed with a divine aura by Gan Bida. In this special period of time, this Holy Maiden City had once again shouldered the heavy responsibility of raising the national morale!

If they won the battle of the Orleans, the morale of the entire country would be reversed, and the war would enter a protracted situation of no surrender. This was an outcome that Prussia could not accept!

As long as the France's confidence was fully mobilized, Prussia's national power would not be exhausted!

The moment he said it, the flames of nationalism flared up!

The sound of battle suddenly erupted from both sides of Loire River. Joan of Arc's famous saying was once again earth-shattering!

"For the France! I will face death with equanimity! "

Prussian never thought that even though these Frenchmen had saved Gan Bida, they did not have the attitude of retreating. In around 10 minutes, hundreds of thousands of people began the overall attack!

The bridge was filled with close combat troops, and 1,800 cannons were pushed to the shore of the river to start firing onto the Prussian army's cannons!

All the cannonballs were sent to the front lines. The artillery men clearly knew that their bronze cannons were not as good as the Prussian army's Krupp's, but they still risked being destroyed by the enemy's artillery fire to rush to the front lines!

"Artillery fire …" "Protect the infantry and attack!"

"No casualties... Don't care about the enemy's counterattack... Even if the whole army is wiped out, we have to cover the infantry 'attack! "

"For the France! I will face death with equanimity! "

Don't let the Prussian not be caught unprepared, the continuous explosion of the cannons had blown up the French attack positions, the positions seized by the north coast had suddenly expanded by many times!

Each of the Southern Regiment's units were in their hometown. These legions that used the land as their symbol, and relied on the ties between their families, actually fought better than an old veteran's teamwork!

Often, a group of comrades would be sacrificed, and there would always be ten times the number of villagers who would go forth and take their revenge!

In the competition of a block at a time, the Prussian army retreated time and time again and organized counterattacks. It was only thanks to the training of these soldiers and their sharp cannons that the Prussian army was nowhere to be seen in a day.

The news of the war that had broken out in Orleans quickly reached Prince Karl's headquarters. At this moment, Prince Karl was commanding the army to surround and annihilate the remaining French army troops in the Trewa, Dijon and other areas.

This place was not far from the Mace City, and there were even Foshan Mountain Pulse s from the high mountains and high forests. These southern French legions were preparing to break up into small groups to support the north through the mountain roads.

The Foshan Mountain Pulse was not suitable for a large army to fight on, and Prince Karl had only blocked the important passes. However, he was very clear that there were still many secret paths that could be passed through in the mountain.

In order to devour Ba Zan who was in Mace City, he had to set up layers of defenses here, and block the reinforcements from the south outside of Foshan Mountain Pulse!

The war was fragmented but difficult. The continuous fighting had caused the Prussian army to suffer heavy losses. Their morale was low and their logistics support line was getting further and further away. As they went deeper into France, the resistance from the guerrillas was also very strong.

Prince Karl had received bad news early in the morning. A supply train had been attacked by the French guerrillas, over ten thousand rounds of artillery shells, countless military rations and medicine had all been destroyed!

However, the bad news always came one after another, and in the afternoon, he received an urgent telegram from the Orleans.

"Bastard!" Idiot! I gave Hartman a hundred thousand troops. Can't he hold a city? Urgent? I don't have a reserve team left! "
