Chapter 114: The General of the Defeated Army
The second update, after it is released on July 1st, it will be rescheduled, of course, it will be more than double the current update, and the rules for adding updates and outbreaks will also be issued.
Cries of pain and despair resounded across the plains of Paris, and the officers and soldiers who had been preparing to return to Berlin after the battle to be knighted and delegated found that everything was more complete than they had imagined, that they were faced with an enemy army several times their size, and that the French were indignant against the invaders. It is estimated that the Bedian Felter Legion, which was under siege at this time, from the soldiers to the generals, would roar angrily in the depths of their hearts, "Bismarck, old thief leave"!
However, Bismarck was also miserable with Bidianfeldt, they were also trapped in the sea of French troops, he could have evacuated and regrouped, but in the face of Bidianfeldt's army close at hand, reason finally did not suppress the idea of adventurism, and commanded Chastrov to launch a final charge with the illusion of "I can fight back". After further exhortations failed, the general could only carry out a final attack according to Bismarck's orders, but it was precisely because of this charge that the reinforcements missed the perfect opportunity to escape.
Army Group South had completed the encirclement, with an army of 120,000 men interspersed with 80,000 men in an attempt to divide and annex them.
Bidenfeldt saw only that the Prussian Guards had been scattered by a sea of living men, and that only a few men had gathered around him and the Crown Prince Albert, and it was clear that the French had also given orders to capture alive those who had taken part in the operation.
The French army peeled off the guards layer by layer like an onion, until the two were revealed, Bidenfeldt and Crown Prince Albert.
With them as the center, countless corpses of the Prussian army have fallen around him, and even if Bidianfeldt screams and breaks his throat, no one will come to save him.
The Prussian army is finished.
Desperate thoughts were imprinted in everyone's hearts, and only the French gloated over the last of the resistors.
The soldier's guns were aimed at the two who were still dying, and Albert, who had never been a defeated general, raised his revolver in a panic and aimed it at his temple, but was pressed down by Bidenfeldt.
"Sometimes there is no shame in surrendering, and Napoleon III at least did not send hundreds of thousands of troops to death in Sedana."
With a pale face, he dropped his saber and gun, and before Albert could figure it out, he raised his hands to face the French army, who were also nervous.
He also touched the uncivilized guy next to him with his foot, and motioned to the other party to kneel down quickly, so as not to die here in vain.
"You are a real disgrace to Prussia."
Armed with the fear of death and the contradiction of the betrayal of honor, Albert fell to his knees with great reluctance.
Ignoring Albert's taunts, Bidenfeldt said to those around him in fluent French, "Don't shoot, we've surrendered, we've given up resistance." ”
At this time, Bidianfeldt only hoped that his corps would be able to hope for reinforcements from the Prussian army before giving up resistance.
However, at this time, Bismarck was also anxious, not only failed to save Bidianfeldt's army, but because of the mistake of intelligence, he was deeply under several times the firepower, and the enemy was constantly shrinking the defensive line, trying to trap them in a small area.
Chastrov once again returned in vain, but at this time there was no previous spirit, the strategy of the French army was not surprisingly successful, but the victory was due to the large number of opponents, completely blocking their retreat with a violent army. More than 100,000 troops were thrown into the battlefield of Paris at once, and it was difficult to turn the situation around.
"No, we're surrounded by now. I can only transfer the Prussian army, which is still attacking the French line, to support, and if it is any longer, I am afraid that the whole army will be annihilated. Prime Minister Bismarck! ”
Chastrov watched in horror at the influx of French troops, and for a moment he realized the mood of Napoleon III, who had been mocking, at the Battle of Sedan.
"We ......"
He really didn't have the courage to let William I send troops to support him, and he boasted about Haikou in front of the king, and it didn't take long for him to be slapped by himself.
However, just as he was trying his best to join up with the besieged Bidianfeldt, shocking news came from the front. The dense artillery fire of Sasenno slowly stopped, and the Prussian army wanted to attack again, but the Prussian army appeared in the town with their hands held high, and they slowly approached Bismarck's army.
All of a sudden, everyone else put down their guns, and the French watched them walk step by step, until they came to the Prussian base camp and shouted out to them an unacceptable bad news.
"The Beatenfeldt corps surrendered, and their generals, along with Crown Prince Albert, surrendered to the French. We're done, we can't escape! The French said that they would treat all their captives well as long as they surrendered. ”
"General Bidenfeldt said, 'Surrender the brothers on the other side, the French will now treat the prisoners preferentially.'"
It is impossible to verify whether Bidianfeldt said this, but the French army's strategy was remarkable, and the news was tantamount to a bombshell, which spread rapidly in the Prussian army, and panic was the most powerful weapon to break up an army, especially after hearing that the whole army had surrendered, and some soldiers had even lost the idea of resisting.
If even the top brass falls, what will they be able to hold onto?
The adjutant soon reported the bad news to Bismarck, who was besieged in the center.
"What? Bidianfelt surrendered? ”
"What? And send the Prussian army to persuade you to surrender? ”
"Bastard! What else did they say? ”
Bismarck clutched his chest in pain, and he felt like he couldn't breathe. The reinforcements desperately tried to tear open the gap in Sassenno, but in exchange for Bidianfeldt's persuasion to surrender?
General Chastrov clenched his fists, he didn't expect that his former comrades-in-arms would actually become traitors at a critical moment, even if they held on a little longer, the French army would break through the encirclement.
Looking at the two high-level generals with uncertain faces, the adjutant said something else tremblingly, "They also said that the French army asked these prisoners to give you a word, as long as you can surrender to the French army......"
"Dream, I will die here, and I will not become a prisoner of Paris, ordering soldiers to ......"
Bismarck got up suddenly, but he only felt that his head was deprived of oxygen for a moment, and the bravery in his blood was not enough to support his anger, and the whole person sat directly on the ground, and the sound of the whole world suddenly seemed to be soaked in a sponge, and there was no sound at all.
Before the last sentence was finished, Bismarck's eyes went dark and he fainted directly.
