The capture of Pamplona by the 13th Army of the Imperial Army was tantamount to sounding the final death knell for the Anglo-French forces. Not only was the large amount of war materials stored here destroyed in the fierce fighting, but the last logistical supply line of the Anglo-French forces was also cut off. Without logistical supplies, how long will the nearly two million Anglo-French troops be able to hold out?

After the Chinese and Spanish forces captured Pamplona, they quickly opened up the connection with Alang. A large amount of war materials were transported from Ailang, and the shortage of war materials for the Sino-Western coalition forces was also alleviated. In addition, the Sino-Spanish coalition sent troops to control the main transportation routes in the western Pyrenees, so that the logistics supply of the British and French forces was completely cut off.

The retreat of the Anglo-French forces to the French mainland was also cut off. Of course, they can also climb over the Pyrenees. It's just that crossing the Pyrenees without logistical supplies is no different from suicide.

The nations of the world are watching this large-scale battle in the northern part of the Iberian Peninsula. Both sides of the war invested more than two million troops. If the two sides combined, it is close to five million. It was definitely the largest battle in history. And the outcome of this war is also directly related to the world war situation.

However, to the disappointment of the countries of the North Atlantic Military Alliance, from the very beginning of the battle, the Chinese and Western coalition forces had an absolute advantage. The Anglo-French forces were completely under pressure. It was not until the main roads on the east and west sides of the Pyrenees were blocked by the Chinese and Western forces that it seemed to mean that the end of the Anglo-French forces had come.

More than two million Anglo-French troops. It was surrounded in the northern part of the Iberian Peninsula. The Chinese and Western coalition forces are pressing forward step by step, coupled with the lack of logistical supplies. This undoubtedly announced the fate of the Anglo-French forces.

After the formation of the encirclement, the outcome of this war was already predestined. More than two million Anglo-French troops. It's already hard to fly. What the Sino-Western coalition needs to consider is at what cost to destroy them!

In Madrid, Queen Isabella II, upon learning of the news, held a grand banquet in the royal palace to celebrate this great victory in advance. However, Liu Zhongming, a lieutenant general of the Chinese Army, did not attend the banquet. The encirclement is complete, but there is still a lot to be done. The encircled British and French forces will definitely not be willing to be annihilated by the Chinese and Western forces, and they will definitely fight back. If the Sino-Spanish coalition wants to achieve great results, it will have to withstand the large-scale counterattack of the British and French forces. Otherwise. Once the encirclement was torn apart by the Anglo-French forces, all the previous efforts were in vain.

Under such circumstances, Lieutenant General Liu Zhongming naturally did not have time to go to the palace to attend a boring banquet. He began to order the troops on the front line, according to the plan, to build a defensive line and prepare to resist the final counterattack of the British and French forces.

Sure enough, after learning that the logistical supply lines in the west were also cut off. All of France was shocked. Napoleon III fainted on the spot, and although he was rescued, his mood became very depressed.

After waking up. Napoleon III regretted it very much. If he had known, he would have listened to the advice of the Minister of War, A.J. San Arnaud, to withdraw the troops deployed on the Iberian Peninsula. In this way, at least a million troops can be retained. Right now. It's too late to say anything. After these armies were wiped out by the combined forces of China and Spain, France's war potential would be further reduced. Perhaps, soon the combined forces of China and Spain will invade French territory. Hit all the way to Paris.

The French Minister of War, A.J. Saint-Arnault, was also silent. The current situation, for France. It's already dangerous. The army encircled on the Iberian Peninsula will most likely be completely annihilated. This would be a heavy blow to the French Empire. In addition, there will certainly be turmoil in France as a result. The reign of Napoleon III will be in jeopardy.

"Your Excellency, is there anything we can do to resolve the crisis at hand?" Napoleon III asked. Now he is no longer so stubborn. Of course, if he had realized this earlier, maybe the situation would not have been so bad.

"Your Majesty, because of geographical factors, if we want to break through the encirclement of the Chinese, I'm afraid it will be very difficult!" A.J. Saint-Arnault said.

Napoleon III fell silent for a moment, and after losing so many troops, France had already lost the war. He has always been wise and wise, but he also has some six gods and no masters, and he doesn't know what to do.

"Your Excellency, what if our army crossed the Pyrenees directly? How much will we lose in this way? Foreign Secretary Duke Valewski asked.

"Your Excellency, the roads of the Pyrenees are difficult to navigate, they are just rough mountain roads. What is even more serious is that our army lacks sufficient supplies, and the Chinese will definitely launch a pursuit. If you choose to cross the Pyrenees, the army that can return to mainland France alive probably will not exceed 500,000 men. A.J. Saint-Arnault said. In fact, he has exaggerated the results. According to his predictions, if he really chooses to take this path, there will be fewer troops who will return to mainland France alive.

"So little?" Duke Valevsky frowned.

"Your Majesty, now we have to fight to the death. I built yì from mainland France and sent troops to attack the east and west sides of the Pyrenees respectively, in the Iberian Peninsula at Balaj. The army led by the Count of Dirière also launched an attack, striving to break through the encirclement of the Chinese. If it succeeds, all the troops will be withdrawn at once. In this way, we may be able to minimize our losses! A.J. Saint-Arnault said that it was the best he could think of.

"Hmmm! Your Excellency the Minister of War, just do what you planned! Be sure to get as many of the brave lads back to France as possible! Napoleon III said.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" A.J. Saint-Arnault nodded. The situation was urgent, and after saluting Napoleon III, he immediately left the Élysée Palace and hurried to give orders.

After the departure of A.J. Saint-Arnaud, only Napoleon III and Duke Valewski remained.

"Your Excellency Duke Valewski, you say, is there any chance that we can win this war?" Napoleon III asked. Such thoughts, he can only say to Duke Valevsky. After all, Duke Valewski was the illegitimate son of Napoleon the Great, and they were real cousins.

"Your Majesty, it is impossible for the French Empire to win the war. We have lost enough in this war! Duke Valewski said. France, undoubtedly a complete loser, the mighty French Empire, in the war not even a small country like the Kingdom of Belgium could not be destroyed, so how can France compete with a power like the Chinese Empire for the world?

"Your Excellency, Duke. If our breakout plan does not succeed, then find a way to make peace with the Chinese! Napoleon III said.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid the Chinese will not agree to our request for peace talks. Last time, we already tried it! "Duke Valewski was a little frustrated. The current shape is indeed not suitable for the continuation of the war. However, it is also not so easy to negotiate peace.

"That's not enough for us to give. As long as we can keep the French mainland, we can accept the conditions of the Chinese! Napoleon III said. In this case, France will have a chance to rise again.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Duke Valevsky nodded. However, he feared that even so, the Chinese Empire would not give the French Empire a chance.

After all, the French Empire betrayed the Chinese Empire. The Chinese Empire has always shown no mercy to those who betrayed.

The Anglo-French forces deployed in the Iberian Peninsula were in a panic when they learned that the back route had been cut off. Many people even wept bitterly, believing that the way back had been cut off and that they would die.

Commander of the Anglo-French forces, Baraj. Count Dirieux, ordered the army to launch an attack on the combined forces of China and Spain. He promised the officers that they would only be able to withdraw to their homeland if they broke through the blockade of the Chinese and Western forces. Otherwise, they will all be killed by the Chinese and Western forces.

This made the soldiers of the British and French coalition see a glimmer of hope, and in order to survive, they began to frantically attack the defense line of the Chinese and Western coalition forces, and broke out with extremely strong combat effectiveness.

However, the terrain of the northern part of the Iberian Peninsula was originally suitable for defense. The Sino-Spanish coalition army only needs to use a small number of troops to be able to use the terrain to resist the attack of the British and French forces. No matter how the British and French forces attacked, they only hit their heads on the defensive line of the Chinese and Western alliances.

Although, the Anglo-French forces adopted a two-sided approach. However, it still did not succeed.

The onslaught of the Anglo-French forces lasted for a week. During this time, the Anglo-French forces paid a heavy price. On the main roads of the eastern and western Pyrenees, the corpses of the Anglo-French army almost blocked the roads between the mountains. When the Anglo-French forces attacked, they had to step on the corpses of their dead comrades. However, even so, their counterattack was not successful.

During a week's counterattack, the Anglo-French forces suffered heavy losses. At the same time, the morale that had been gathered with great difficulty was also consumed in the fiasco. Some officers and soldiers who had lost hope even chose to cross the Pyrenees in the hope of returning to France. However, most of them did not succeed and either starved to death or died in the mouths of wild beasts. (To be continued......)
