Chapter 1674: The Catastrophe of Annihilation (2)

The strongest, the fastest update through the latest chapter of the Immortal Empire of the Late Ming Dynasty!

Bernard boarded the flagship of the Dutch fleet, saw Yasus, bowed deeply, and said astringently: "Duke of Arsus, thank you for your help, if there is no your fleet, I am afraid that the French fleet will all be destroyed here......"

Yasus waved his hand and said: "General Bernard, now is not the time to be polite, the Ming Empire is too powerful, and the power of a country can contend with it, and now only if you and I join forces, can we win, Le Lavr has fallen, we face the Ming fleet, there is no certainty of victory, not to mention that the battery group is still in the hands of others, and I also ask General Bernard to lead your troops to temporarily move to Amsterdam to defend against the Ming fleet to attack Amsterdam......"

Bernard hesitated: "Duke of Yasus, thank you for your kindness, it's just that if the French fleet leaves Le Lavre, then the entire coast of France will fall into the hands of the Ming fleet, and they can attack and loot here with impunity......

Yasus smiled bitterly, "General Bernard, even if you stay on the coast of your country, what can you do?" Will you be able to withstand the attack of the Ming fleet? That can only bring greater losses to the Kingdom of France, you only have such a few warships, and if you lose any more, the French fleet will only exist in name only, if my guess is right, I am afraid that our combined fleet has failed, and now what we can do is to unite several countries, gather the naval and land forces of various countries, and have a decisive battle with the Ming Empire, win, keep our land, defeat, then needless to say, what the consequences, no one can imagine......"

Bernard's face darkened, and he said astringently: "It's okay, it's the only way to go......"

Bernard led the remnants of dozens of warships to retreat in the direction of Amsterdam with Bernard, the forces of the Ming Empire, completely occupied Le Ravel, however, after continuous operations, the Ming fleet also paid a lot of price, the loss of warships is not small, although it is far less than the huge Western countries, but there are dozens of warships sunk, and dozens of warships were damaged, fortunately this is a military port, Leravel has a huge dock and dock, which can support the fleet to repair warships.

Xu Yifan ordered the Ming fleet to rest temporarily, and ordered Tan Guilin to lead the Tianxiong army of the two towns to start marching in the direction of Paris!

From Le Ravre to Paris, the distance was less than four hundred miles, and the Tianxiong army left Le Ravre and marched with all its might, and in just a few days, they could reach the city of Paris.

Now Paris has already been in chaos, 50,000 elite Ming troops occupied Le Lavre, and then marched towards Paris, this Paris city is now only seven or eight thousand troops, the rest of the troops are far away in France, want to rush to Paris in a short time, it is impossible!

The Tianxiong army advanced rapidly, first taking Caen, an important city in northern France, and then continuing southward, and by the sixth day, the army was less than sixty miles from Paris.

The elite of the French army, which received the information, all gathered in Versailles, north of Paris, to build fortifications and prepare for battle.

Soon, the Tianxiong army came to the front of the position of the French army in Versailles.

In the space of three or five days, a positional fortification had been constructed.

"Seven or eight thousand troops?"

Tan Guilin sneered: "Seven or eight thousand troops, dare to fight with us?" The French were too worthy of their own combat power, so they gave the order to mobilize the artillery battalion to storm the French position in Versailles, attack with all their might, and after an hour, mobilize the infantry battalion and launch a charge towards the French position, and in the shortest possible time to solve the French army in front of me! Cungu, immediately mobilize the cavalry of our two towns, rush in the direction of Paris, attack the city of Paris with all your might, and in three days, I will see King Louis XIV of France raise the white flag! ”

Tan Guilin gave an order, and all six artillery battalions were pulled up, and launched a crazy artillery bombardment towards the French position, and the shells bombarded the French position without a single shot, and landed on the position one after another, setting off a group of explosions, the flames of war were flying, and the smoke of gunpowder was dense, and the French army stood on the position, and was directly hit by the fierce artillery fire of the Ming army!

Hundreds of guns!

The Ming army in front of him was actually equipped with hundreds of artillery, and all of them were flowering cannons, which was too powerful!

The French Army has always been supported by the strongest army in Europe, and has been crisscrossing the European continent for more than 100 years, and has rarely encountered opponents, but recently they have encountered an unprecedented predicament, and they have never seen any war that can use hundreds of flowering cannons! The French were also equipped with flowering cannons, but most of them were only used on battleships, and had never been used on a large scale on land, and the army of seven or eight thousand was only less than five infantry regiments, and had less than thirty guns, many of which were still artillery from the Paris city defense battalion, all of which were solid shells, and the firing distance was only three miles, and they didn't know where the shells fell at a distance!

With such combat power, where is the opponent of the Great Tomorrow Army?

After a whole hour of artillery fighting, the French position was baptized by dozens of waves of shells, thousands of shells exploded on the position, the entire position was turned into a scorched earth, and not even a decent tree could be found! One by one, the French lay on the ground shivering, completely frightened.

"Kill!"

The Tianxiong army directly dispatched two infantry battalions and launched a charge towards the French position, and the Ming soldiers rushed towards the French position like a frenzy!

"Shoot back, shoot back! Fight back now! ”

The commander of the French army, General Chirac, roared, commanded the French army to start a counterattack, artillery and muskets launched a counterattack at the same time, preventing the Ming army from approaching, and the shells fell on the road of the Ming army's advance, although it formed a certain threat to the Ming army, but in the face of the overwhelming Ming army, how could thirty artillery pieces cover the entire battlefield? What's more, there are more than a dozen artillery pieces that were directly destroyed by flowering shells in the artillery battle just now, and the artillery can't suppress the approach of the Ming army at all!

Approaching step by step, soon the Ming army advanced to a distance of less than three hundred meters from the French position and entered the range of muskets!

The two sides began to shoot frantically, originally the French army thought that the Ming army would move forward, while shooting, the shooting speed and accuracy of the shot will be greatly reduced, and the target is conspicuous, absolutely have to pay a heavy price, who would have thought that the shooting speed of the Ming army is not weaker than the French army, the most important thing is that the marksmanship is also accurate, one by one Tianxiong army bowed their waists, while advancing, while shooting, the advanced performance of the firing needle rear-firing rifle was brought into full play, and the defensive firepower of the French army was completely suppressed, Soon it was within a hundred paces of the French!
