The German army acted quickly and decisively, and the cavalry and infantry advanced in unison overnight. Although they did not intend to attack the city overnight, by early morning their troops were already encamped about 8 kilometers from Nancy.

In Nancy, the command of the defense, which was taken over by "Thunder International", did not stop. A large number of gendarmerie units of the 1st French Assault Cavalry Division searched for every bird that had broken down from the front line and assigned them to the bunker groups at the front.

As for Mike. Prince. The 100,000 Chinese workers of the Merlin Military Industrial Group have been working day and night for two days. During the past two days, they have been building a fast front in trenches dug out by bulldozers. Now, when the main work is completed, they and the soldiers in the bunker group are carrying sandbags one by one to provide more protection for the reinforced concrete slabs.

Since all the construction was carried out by Chinese workers, the German spies in Nancy could not get close to the construction area where martial law had been imposed. Prince. The warehouse of the Merlin Military-Industrial Group with the place where these Chinese laborers worked. As for what kind of work the Chinese workers did there, no one knows.

These fast fronts are products stockpiled by France's reluctance to set up fast fronts for minor areas of the conflict due to the tight military budget. Since the Germans are here this time, it is only natural that these fronts will be procured by the Nancy City Defense Command, and the French government will naturally pay for the war sooner or later.

Thus, in just two days, a defensive line of sandbags and reinforced concrete elements appeared 5 kilometers on the outskirts of Nancy. On the other hand, German soldiers without a fast front would not be so easy to set up camp.

Behind them were the three cavalry divisions that had just arrived, and until now they were still dressed in rather ornate leather armor and green raincoats. Of course, no one used spears anymore, they used German sabers. At that time, among the cavalry units of Western countries, the German saber was considered a first-class product, otherwise Patton would not have designed a weapon called the "Patton Sword" for the American army based on their saber.

Of course, now Patton understands that cavalry is no longer fit to remain in the army in the face of today's "Thunder International" armored fighting vehicles, or that horses should also go to the arena of sports to find their future.

The Germans clearly did not intend to build fortifications, they intended to attack overnight.

These were the same cavalrymen who had just driven 20 kilometers, and they were already around the lit bonfire, and began to arrange their horses. At the same time, he is also filling the stomachs of himself and his war horse. Because in the morning when it was coldest and darkest, they were going to attack the French positions.

For nothing else, the German commanders at the front, who were well versed in tactical means, believed that at the time of the entire rout of the French army, the city of Nancy, which had never been effectively defended, could not have been adequately fortified at such a rapid pace. In addition, does it not take time to reorganize the morale of the French soldiers, who had already completely "herded sheep" in the afternoon?

According to the German military intelligence department, the French did not have any more reserves in Nancy, and the famous French 1st Assault Cavalry Division believed that they would not be able to stop the German cavalry if they were caught up in chaotic street fighting. Even, according to the reported reconnaissance information, the French did not even have time to lay mines on the outskirts of the city.

In front of the city of Nancy, there is the crown prince's most wanted Mike. Prince. Merlin Military-Industrial Group, which is also a gift that the cavalry wants to give to their commander.

The horses of the cavalry soldiers were neatly lined up in an offensive formation, with their rifles on their shoulders and their swords resting on their shoulders. Standing at the front of the line were their commander's horses, likewise awaiting the final orders.

Although the lights were already lit in the dark city of Nancy in front of them, it showed that the other party had detected their intentions. But no one on the German side thought of the speed and momentum required by the cavalry to conceal, and it was believed that the hearts of the infantry without a strong position would definitely tremble to the point of collapse before the rapid onslaught of the cavalry like a torrent.

And with those French infantry, who even retreated in the afternoon, it was impossible to know how much time it would take to establish a complete defensive line. Therefore, the knights of the German cavalry unit, who planned to rely on this battle to regain the glory of the battlefield for the cavalry, seemed a little nervous and a little excited.

The horses snorted uneasily, their hooves scraping the ground, as if they had a premonition of unfathomable danger ahead. But for the glory of the warriors, they had to deliver the most ferocious assault on the danger.

"Bang Bang ......"

In the sky, two red flares glowed brightly in the sky, which was the signal that the cavalry had been waiting for for a long time. They struggled to sit up straight on their horses, their eyes fixed on the commander in front of the group.

"Forward ......"

In the midst of the loud voice, the captain's saber pressed downward. With the order, the soldiers drove their mounts with the belly of their horses under their legs. The whole brigade began to squirm, and the companies lined up in a square formation began to move in small steps.

"Boom ......"

The sound of horses' hooves rolled in the sky as muffled as before the first spring thunder, and the cavalrymen sat upright on their horses. The whole formation followed the horses forward, in the black night, under the bright moon in the sky, like waves, occasionally the saber would reflect the clear light of the moon, scattering a cold and sharp light.

"Hurry up...... Get up, you slackers, the Germans are coming, and if you don't get up, the Germans will come and wake you up! ”

Amid the angry shouts of the officers of the 1st Cavalry Division, the French soldiers, who had only returned from the front line in the afternoon, and had been reassigned to the various pillboxes for a good meal, were urged to shout loudly.

Speaking of which, sleeping in such a six-shaped bunker is a very pleasant thing. The hammocks themselves are fastened with rope buckles in front of the shooting holes and columns. Even the shooting had a small wooden window that could be opened and closed, and it looked like such a bunker could be used directly as a soldier's barracks.

One by one, the French soldiers rolled out of their hammocks and descended to the ground, grabbing their rifles, which hung on their bedside. As the soldiers rubbed their sleeping eye droppings and wiped the saliva in their dreams, and when they were in a shooting position on their respective shooting holes, someone had already opened the ammunition box and piled bags of bullets on the hammock beside them.

In such a bunker, everything was orderly and orderly, and the French soldiers, who were trembling when they began to tremble when they raised their rifles one by one, muttered in their hearts.

"Fuck, those old men of the military department, why wasn't such a good bunker ready to go to the front earlier?"
