Chapter 101: Take the initiative
Pursuit?
As soon as the Viking King's words fell, the entire camp was silent. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
This is a good celebration, so it will be involved in the pursuit?
Marshal Lista was also embarrassed, and said haha: "Oh, Lord Rolf is really, really joking, laughing, the French have withdrawn, why should we ......"
"I'm not joking!" the Viking King looked serious: "It's true that the French have retreated, but it's not because we defeated them! But they retreated on their own initiative! Now that there is still a large area of German territory south of Nuremberg in the hands of the French, are you going to do this now, and sit and wait for them to completely withdraw from Germany?"
"This, alas, Lord Rolf, we don't want to watch dry, but you have also seen the fighting power of the French, we are still struggling to defend the city, if we go to the field, they suddenly kill back the carbine, we are not an opponent. A German general couldn't help but explain
"Yes, they have withdrawn, and they are not here to occupy our Germany, at most a month, they will probably withdraw to Austria, why should we fight to the death with them at this time?" another general also opened his mouth to persuade him: "If we fight again, the loss will be too great." ā
"Hehe......" The Viking King sneered: "I originally thought that you Germans were good men, but now it seems that you are just a group of cowards and cowards! But as long as you do your best, you will be defeated, and that is also a hero! But now, the invaders have retreated, don't you have the courage to take the initiative to pursue them, take the initiative to expel them, and take the initiative to recover the lost land?"
The Viking King's voice was not loud, but it was clearly audible, and everyone could feel the strong mockery in it.
"This ......" Marshal Lista raised his glass with his glass, and put it down, his face was red and blue, and he was uncertain, but he could not speak.
The other generals were also stupid, put down their wine glasses and food, and the original cheerful atmosphere in the whole big tent was suddenly swept away.
"We are chasing!" The speaker was the "Dragon Slayer Warrior Saint" Siegfried: "Rolf is right, we Germans should not be cowards! If we wait here, we will be safe and secure, and we will probably be able to easily recover our land in the end, but this is a charity! This is a charity given by the French! We Germans are warriors! Not beggars! We don't need charity! We must take the initiative! We must take the initiative to regain what we have lost with battle and blood!"
"Dragon Slayer Martial Saint" Qi Gefei is an old man, and he has long lost the heroic appearance of his youth, but his words are loud, with an iron will that cannot be disobeyed, and a surging battle intent hidden under the words!
Marshal Lista, of course, did not disobey, and his face was deeply concealed with shame, and he appeared in high spirits: "Siegfried said well! We Germans are warriors! We should not accept alms! Pass my orders! Rest and recuperate! The army assembles! In an hour, we will go to expel the invaders!"
Orders were issued layer by layer, and with the orders were given, there was a tenacious fighting spirit.
The whole of Nuremberg was busy, the armor was put on, the horses were fed, the whole team was assembled, the assembly was assembled.
In less than an hour, the army was assembled, and the soldiers of the brigade formed a phalanx that was not very neat and ready to go.
The banquet in the big tent of the Chinese army had also been withdrawn a long time ago, and under the leadership of Marshal Lista, the generals and martial arts powerhouses came out side by side and came to the front of the line.
The gates, which had been closed for a long time, were cleared and opened again, the drawbridge was lowered, and a group of soldiers walked out of the fortified city that had protected them for most of the month, and walked all the way to the south.
......
By this time, the French army had also withdrawn into the city of Greydin.
Looking at the sky, His Majesty Napoleon gave an order: "It is almost dark, everyone rest here for the night, and set off again tomorrow." Oh yes, you go down and get up early tomorrow and pick up the speed and try to get to Ingolstadt. ā
"If you want to get to Ingolstadt, you're a little bit short of time. Why is Your Majesty in such a hurry? We have all retreated, and will those Germans dare to catch up?" his general was puzzled.
"Not because of the Germans!" said His Majesty Napoleon, frowning, and explained simply: "I am a little worried about Austria, and I always feel that something is going on." ā
The generals under his command became more and more puzzled: "Austria? What will happen to Austria? With General Sophie and Archduke Louisa in charge, and their subordinates are also elite, and a few days ago they uprooted all the German spy networks, what will .....happen?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a person ran in from outside the big tent, and it was a scout.
"Report ...... Report to Your Majesty! The Germans have sent their troops! Three hours earlier, a large number of German troops had left Nuremberg and were heading south for the city of Grayding! Roughly scruples, the number would not be less than 200,000! It must have been the whole army dispatched!" The scout's voice was fast and urgent.
His Majesty Napoleon's eyes froze, and he waved his hand randomly: "Okay, I know, let's go down." ā
After saying that, he continued to be silent.
"This ...... Your Majesty, shouldn't we do something about it?" asked one of the generals.
"No, although they dared to go out of the city and chase after them, it was a bit unexpected, but everyone can rest assured that they can't fight. His Majesty Napoleon waved his hand and said nothing.
A general hurriedly suggested: "That'..... Do you want to ambush them? In the wilderness, they don't have a guard of honor on the city walls, and with our strength, if we arrange them properly......"
"Don't make up your own mind! The most important thing for us now is to withdraw intact, not to fight these meaningless battles! Even if we win, we will not gain anything but losses!" His Majesty Napoleon rejected his suggestion: "They come out now, and they are nothing more than pretending to make some face and go back, as if they have expelled us, and it seems that they have lost so badly, and they have no intention of really fighting." Don't worry too much! Okay, don't huddle around here, let's all go down and rest. ā
The generals left the tent one after another, and the French soldiers also set up their meals, rested and prepared for sleep as usual, and no one took the arrival of the French army to heart.
Even those generals who know the news are the same, some of their subordinates are just defeated, and they can still support themselves by hiding in the city, so what can they do when they go out of the city? Besides, it is themselves who occupy the advantage of the city's defense now, so what is there to worry about?
