Chapter 110: The Retreating Weimars
Juana anxiously paced the halls of the Duke's castle, she had not yet received news that Yu Chen had fainted from serious injuries, and now it was something else that bothered Juana. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Your Majesty, the Weimar people will only give you twenty minutes. "General Armitage, who had just come down from the front line, had not washed the blood off his armor, and he deliberately concealed the news that Yu Chen had fainted. Armitage knew that Yu Chen's relationship with His Majesty was extraordinary, and he didn't want His Majesty to lose his judgment at this time.
It was during this period of the brief ceasefire that the Weimar people issued an ultimatum to Juana, who made Juana choose between them. Surrender or destructionThese were the exact words of the Weimar envoys, and the reinforcements from Weimar outside the city had arrived, but the old duke had been nowhere to be seen. This put a lot of psychological pressure on Juana, and her words decided the life and death of everyone.
Juana first summoned all the nobles, and the paper could not contain the fire, and instead of concealing it, she decided to be open and honest with everyone.
The news of the Weimar persuasion soon spread throughout the Duke's castle, and the people were silent, they all looked around them vigilantly, each with different thoughts in their hearts, and this was the most testing time.
Compared to the cheers of the Weimar army outside the Duke's Castle, the Duke's Castle fell into a dead silence, the fatigue of the war tormented everyone, and a short rest did not make people really rest, it would make them more tired. Most people were silent, and the Weimar persuasion had already had an effect, and even if Juana did not announce it, they would soon be shouting to the city.
This is a psychological warfare, a trap set by Lieutenant General von Manstein Juana, who will plant a nail in the hearts of the people of the ducal castle whether he surrenders or not.
Twenty minutes came quickly, and this time was also carefully designed by Lieutenant General von Manstein, and in such a short time it was impossible for Juana to unite everyone's opinions, and if there was a great disagreement within the Duke's castle, it would give him an opportunity.
Just as Lieutenant General von Manstein had envisioned, in just twenty minutes Juana could not reconcile the opinions of the nobles, and if the nobles were like this, how could the people and soldiers of the city not be the same?
The aristocrats were apprehensive, knowing that this was probably a trap for the Weimarists, but it was like a life-saving straw, and you couldn't help but think about it at the most critical time.
Twenty minutes into it, Juana made her choice as promised, of course she would not choose to surrender, Juana told the Weimar people her choice with a crossbow arrow!
With the fall of a Weimar soldier, the Weimar army sounded the horn of attack, and after a brief truce, the Duke's castle was once again under the onslaught of the Weimar people!
The Weimar people came in a tidal wave, and their morale was high, and they soon tore a few holes in the ducal castle.
Juana is fighting, she personally rushed to kill on the city wall, this is her choice, this is the choice she made for everyone, if Juana does not fight on the front line, then how can anyone fight for her?
The blue figure has chopped down another enemy, Juana has grown a lot these days, she has learned to take responsibility.
Watching their Majesty rush to the front line, seeing their Majesty stand in front of them, the retreating Galicians were ashamed, and they were angry at their momentary vacillation.
More and more people are gathering around Juana, they are once again clenching their weapons, they are willing to shed their blood for this country!
Juana's hard work infected more people, and even the nobles who had other ideas in their hearts could not help but be moved, they did not expect that it had reached such a point that their majesty (the princess) would not give up.
In the end, the nobles also made a choice, they sided with Juana, and they felt that they should do more for the country!(The strong intervention of the Weimar people must affect the interests of these nobles, and they also knew that once they surrendered, they could only look at the faces of the Weimar people, so most of the nobles decided to take a gamble, and they put all their treasures on the old duke's timely assistance.) )
Lieutenant General von Manstein's plan was aborted, and he found that the resistance in the ducal castle was still stubborn, which made him sincerely admire the princess of Galicia.
"If I were at my age, I would never have been able to do better than her. This was inspired by von Manstein's feelings for his staff, who knew that not everyone could do this kind of thing.
Then we can't let her live." Von Manstein has been transferred to the reserves, he is about to tear a few holes, and he is ready to finish off the people he admires with his own hands.
Lieutenant General von Manstein looked at the blood on his armor and knew that time was running out, that old fellow would be coming soon, and he had to take the Duke's castle in half an hour!
The Weimar attacks continued, but the Duke's castle survived under the inspiration of Juana! Within half an hour the Weimar army launched several strong attacks, and their battering rams kept hitting the city gates, and Lieutenant General von Manstein did not have the slightest reservation, he had already pressed his entire wealth.
It was a long half hour, for both the besieging and defending sides did their best, and the walls changed hands several times, and the Weimars, though generally in upper hand, were unable to break through the towering walls.
Lieutenant General von Manstein had been counting the time, knowing that the old fellow would never make such a lowly mistake, and the commander of the Weimar army fell silent after receiving the scout's latest report. Von Manstein looked at the Duke's castle, he saw the brothers who were still fighting blood, he saw countless Weimar people shed their blood! But after a few seconds of silence, von Manstein still made a helpless choice, he was the commander of the Weimar army, and he had to be responsible for all the soldiers and the Weimar Confederation.
"Retreat!" von Manstein finally uttered these two words.
The military order was like a mountain, the will of the commander could not be disobeyed, and although the extremely disciplined Weimar army was puzzled, they still stopped the attack.
"My lord! another half an hour! another half an hour will be taken!" Colonel Fred knelt down on one knee, his head covered with beads of sweat, Fred knew the consequences of disobeying the orders of his superiors in the Weimar army.
Lieutenant General von Manstein's face was expressionless, and he drew his sword, which he placed around Colonel Fred's neck.
"My lord, if you attack for half an hour, you can!" Colonel Fred was not afraid of the sword that the commander had on his neck, he would not forget the brothers who died in the Duke's castle, he was not reconciled!
Colonel Fred was ready to accept punishment, and he was ready to sacrifice his head for public disobedience, and if he could replace the castle with his own head, Fred felt that it was worth it!
"Retreat. Lieutenant General von Manstein repeated, looking at the Duke's castle in front of him, and he suddenly felt tired.
The commander of the Weimar Confederation collected his sword, and although he could have beheaded those who shook the hearts of the army according to the military order, he still did not, and von Manstein only patted Fred on the shoulder, and he did not explain more to his subordinates.
