The second update, and one more, may be a little later, but it will definitely be updated tonight.

After leaving Paris, the carriage procession realized how terrible the situation outside the city was, there was burning scorched earth everywhere, the trees turned into black charcoal, the ground was still rolling with scorching waves, the French defense line stationed outside the city became a terrible appearance of hell on earth, the Prussian attack failed to knock down the trenches, and there were potholes everywhere, announcing the terrible battle of the battle.

The frenzied Prussian artillerymen seemed to not care about the cost, and almost all the artillery fire was vented around Paris, turning the entire countryside into ashes, leaving only a bare Parisian city, and French soldiers shuttling back and forth in the trenches, hurriedly erecting defensive machine guns after the shelling.

The procession of escorting the capitalists did not go in the direction of Versailles, but took a detour in the direction of Down, and Guerome, who was sitting in the carriage, noticed through the window that the route was wrong, and he knew that this was not the road to Versailles, but to the city of Orleans. Guerrome's doubts sprung up in his mind, and he called Captain Joseph Monsey to him and asked what was going on.

"Versailles is one of Pross's goals, we can't afford to take that risk, and going to Tours through the city of Orléans is the best option. At present, it has not fallen, and it can be passed without incident. ”

Seeing the worried look on Guelôme's brow, Joseph Moncey continued to explain, "Our purpose is not to hurry, but to try to keep everyone here safe, none of you want to be a prisoner of Prussia, right?" Their treatment of French prisoners of war was very cruel, and if they fell into the hands of these people, I would advise you to cut yourself off. ”

Guerome shook his head tacitly, he took the risk and did everything possible to escape from Paris in order to avoid the Prussian butcher's knife, not to have a face-to-face contact with the Prussian army.

Captain Monse nodded, making a silent gesture, "Alright, now please shut up and follow us quietly." The situation outside Paris was complicated, and when we reached a certain stretch of the road, we encountered the Prussian army. ”

Because of the hurry, this team was almost composed of cavalry, and it was also for maximum mobility.

However, they were not the only guests, as the Prussian Fifth Cavalry Division also sent a force from Evry to Donp, and in order to form a cohesive encirclement of Paris, they had to encircle the outskirts of the suburbs.

The mobile units of the 5th Cavalry Division shuttled through the vast wilderness, and in order to avoid the troops deployed in the outskirts of Paris, they also made a large circle, crossing the Seine River to the rear, and taking secret raids.

The 5th Cavalry Division, which was a small number of troops, was mainly to cover the encirclement of the left flank supporting the Prussian First Army.

Soon they spotted the sparse and slow-moving procession, and through the binoculars they saw that it was not a sturdy French cavalry, but a flock of unsuspecting fat sheep.

The cavalry commander of the Prussian army saw through his telescope the advancing procession divided into three groups, each with dozens of wagons, as if they were transporting some terrible figure out of the city of Paris, but this fanfare was afraid that they would not encounter the Prussian army, and of course, no one would know that their vanguard had broken into the French lines.

The eyes of the Prussian cavalry, who had not found anything for several days, lit up as if they had seen the spoils of war, and although they did not know who the people in these carriages were, the heavy protection of the troops sent was certainly an important task. If they could be captured alive and used as Prussia's bargaining chips to blackmail the higher-ups, this group of people from the Fifth Cavalry Division would be tantamount to a great achievement.

The advance of the cavalry was unusually slow, and although there were not many of them, the carriage could only move slowly because of the connections of those in high society.

Joseph Monsey looked around warily, when suddenly a cloud of dust in the distance caught his attention. Before he could send any more soldiers to reconnoitre, the scouts at the forefront brought back the latest information.

The scout replied with a nervous look, "We have found that the Prussian cavalry is rushing towards us!" ”

Joseph Moncey replied very calmly, "How many are there?" ”

"It's expected to be thousands, probably more than us."

After saying that, the scout hesitantly glanced at the team behind him, his eyes obviously telling the other party that he should choose to evacuate at this time.

Joseph didn't give an answer, he just turned around and walked to Guerom and knocked on the other party's car door.

Before Guerom could speak, Moncey immediately said, "We have encountered the Prussian cavalry. ”

Guerrome's face immediately changed, he glared at Monce, and said angrily, "Didn't you say that it was safe to take this route?" ”

"I have no way of predicting what will happen on the battlefield, I can only tell you that this road was safe three days ago."

Moncey didn't pay attention to his accusations, nor did he show any panic, he loaded the Spencer rifle in his hand, and said calmly, "Now I need to concentrate the forces of the cavalry to attack, you will have a short period of danger, once we break through the Prussian cavalry, some of them will stay in charge of the rear of the palace, and the others will throw away any superfluous things and immediately speed up the progress to Tours." ”

Guerome's face turned pale as if to ask, "What if your attack fails?" ”

Monsezai pulled out the revolver from his waist and handed it to Guerrome, saying slowly, "You'd better bless us with a successful attack." If it fails, it is better to break oneself than to fall into the hands of Prussia. ”

Captain Monsey then concentrated all his cavalry forces and prepared to launch a charge for a face-to-face battle with Prussia's 5th Cavalry Division.

"Attack."

With an order, the French cavalry began to attack, and they began to shoot at the oncoming Prussian cavalry with their rifles, just when everyone thought that a bloody battle was inevitable, the charging cavalry suddenly slowed down, and the originally dense gunfire became sparse, as if it was just an opening teaser.

Guerom suddenly realized that it was impossible to shoot at the opposing cavalry at such a distance, and instead exposed his own firepower in advance. He didn't understand why Captain Monsay had done this, but he heard something that almost made him vomit blood.

"Soldiers, these shots just fired are worthy of the salaries paid to us by these capitalists, leave them alone, and retreat quickly! We are no match for the Prussian cavalry! ”
