Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

Right now, Prince Karl only had a total of one hundred and eighty thousand soldiers, of which one hundred thousand were arranged on the Orleans defense lines, he only had cavalry and other high mobility troops.

If these eighty thousand troops were to be transferred to Orleans, he would really be unable to block the Foshan Mountain Pulse's entrance!

When he was worried, he suddenly thought about the reinforcements that the Bavaria army had just made. Currently, two troops were rushing towards him day and night.

"Sixty thousand New Army! It looks like I can only let the new army go, and pass my orders, Bavaria's First Army will directly head to Orleans to provide support … The Second Army will go straight for Dijon! "

"Send a telegram to the Prime Minister, telling him that I am seriously short of artillery shells... I can still gather the food on the spot, but I can save on medical supplies, but artillery cannot do without artillery shells! "

"No matter what, we have to keep up with the supplies …"

Prince Karl did not know that Gan Bida of the Orleans had already started to organize a large number of guerrillas in the south of France through his own command system.

Many of the military supply warehouses sealed by Napoleon III had been opened. As long as it was a young or strong man, everyone in the country could go and get their hands on firearms and ammunition, and even explosives.

He didn't know if there was any, but he was shocked when he saw it! It was only then that Gan Bida realized how much wealth French Emperor had left behind. Bonaparte Family truly valued military construction, for the past few years, French Emperor had stored a huge amount of weapons.

In September alone, the statistics from the south issued 350,000 rifles and a million rounds of ammunition. Although they were all old Mini rifles, the number was already frightening.

For the guerrillas, the cheap and reliable Mini rifle was more suitable, because it didn't need a metal cartridge cartridge, just a few black gunpowder and warheads to process Mini's bullets.

These brave warriors of the France, tried everything they could to sneak attack the Prussian army. Those trains on the tracks became their focus.

The First Army and the Second Army were transferred by Mao Qi to Prince Karl. Along the way, these two troops were attacked countless of times.

One of the captains wrote in his memoirs, "At night, we stopped at an unknown station, the sky was full of stars, and outside the train the autumn wind was blowing drearily."

"No one knows why we're stopping, but faint explosions are coming from the distance …" Half an hour later, the major informed me that the Prussian army's logistics train ahead of us had been attacked. The explosives buried under the tracks had blown up the train which was filled with artillery shells, and the chain reaction caused the train, which was over 100 meters long, to become wreckage … "

"I have no other choice. We can only get off the vehicle and advance on foot. However, the terrifying night has just begun …"

"At one o'clock in the night, on a field path parallel to the railway line, the Bavaria soldiers raised their torches and pulled out a long dragon. The torches gave off a light so bright that it seemed impossible to see the end of it.

"But just when we were at our most exhausted, gunshots suddenly rang out from the forest on the left side of the team. Bullets flew towards us. My bugler couldn't dodge in time and got his head blown off …"

"The team immediately became anxious. It was difficult to determine the location of the enemy in the pitch black night. Although we fought back fiercely, no one knew how many attacker we killed …"

"Both sides continued firing for fifteen minutes while the enemy's fire never stopped. It's not concentrated, but it's continuous …"

"In the end, the Battalion Commander dispatched a company of soldiers to carry out the white blade assault, charging into the forest and dispersing those disgusting attackers!"

"Who knew that this would be the beginning of a nightmare … "From that moment on, we were ambushed countless times throughout the night. Who knows how many hate guerrillas lurked in the dark of the French countryside?"

"They don't have many people. Judging by the shooting density, they should only be a small group formed of 50 to 60 people. There are even a small team with 20 to 30 people …"

"There aren't many people, but the blow to morale is very serious. A total of 30,000 soldiers were attacked by these flies the whole night. They only advanced 20 kilometers in six hours. This is simply shameful!"

"After dawn, the army will temporarily rest for half an hour. After counting, we discovered that 82 people died in our battle and 320 were injured in the chaos …"

"And the enemy only paid a price of six corpses. This kind of result made the entire army depressed …"

"But the orders from the Prussian are very strict. They ordered us to reach the Orleans within 12 hours. The Prussian army there have been fighting bitterly for two days, and I heard that the French have gone completely crazy!"

The overall situation of the unity of the Germany has been set, and right now is the critical moment in fighting for the benefit of the Bavaria. The more contributions we receive in this war, the easier it will be for the King of the Munich to stand at the negotiating table!

"Your Majesty, whom we love and love! God bless you, please pull yourself together... "

The captain did not know what kind of brutal battlefield awaited him. Despite the fatigue of the soldiers, the commander did not dare give this order even though he knew they needed rest.

They knew very well that they could only reduce the probability of these guerrilla attacks during the day, and in order to reach Orleans within the allotted time, they could only force their way through.

What they saw along the way astounded all the soldiers and soldiers of the Bavaria. The French had set a strategy of fortification, and all the villages were empty. Everything that could become war supplies was taken away, and everything that could not be taken away was burned.

There were even extreme villages that burned down houses they had left behind for hundreds of years, and the French plains were filled with black smoke.

After travelling more than 10 kilometers, you could only see a few dozens of French people. Those old, weak, and handicapped people were all glaring at these invaders. If looks could kill, they would have died ten thousand times over!

The commander knew that it would be impossible for the entire army to reach the Orleans in twelve hours, so he could only let the entire army set off first. As long as the vanguard unit arrived on time, they might be able to get Prince Karl's forgiveness.

The cavalrymen ran frantically throughout the day and finally arrived at the Prussian army's defense line at the northeastern part of Orleans City at seven in the evening. When they saw the killing fields, all of them cried out in alarm.

To the northeast was the rear of the Prussian army. There were medical tents everywhere and all the wounded that could still be saved were sent here. The air was filled with the pungent smell of blood and disinfectant.

Miserable screams rang out incessantly. The Prussian army who had retreated from the battlefield were all panic-stricken, as if they had walked through hell itself.

"How is the battle ahead? Can anyone tell me how the battle is going? " The Cavalry Battalion leader asked loudly.

"This is crazy!" The Frenchmen are all crazy... " Many of the wounded soldiers were already hysterical, their eyes filled with fear.

"This is the city of Joan of Arc! We took over this place and received punishment from the heavens! "

"Those Frenchmen are charging at us, shouting the name of the Holy Maiden. One battalion has been damaged by the gunfire, only dozens of people are still unwilling to retreat!"

"There were French everywhere, and they came rushing up waving flags from different places … I heard a million accents... "

"All the soldiers in France are here... God, have mercy on me... "

To be able to hear these words from Prussian soldier, who was famous for his seriousness, it could be seen that the soldiers' minds were completely broken down!
