Chapter Ninety-Nine: Retreat

Nuremberg, Germany. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

With the sound of a huge horn, another offensive and defensive battle ended. The battlefield that had been stalemate slowly separated, and the tide-like army retreated again, leaving only corpses in one place.

Looking at the martial saints who flew back from afar, His Majesty Napoleon in front of the big tent of the Chinese army sighed leisurely, and then waved his hand and walked into the big tent.

The French generals had already withdrawn, and were now sitting in their tents, looking at His Majesty Napoleon, who was sitting back on the throne with a gloomy face.

His Majesty Napoleon put his hand on his forehead, and his voice was full of exhaustion: "Let's talk about it, what to do next." ”

With his inquiry, there was a sudden uproar below:

"I think it's better to retreat, I've tried so many times, and it's in vain to try again, we shouldn't be able to beat Nuremberg. ”

"Yes, now that we are fighting so hard, we have no advantage at all, except for wasting human lives in vain, it is useless at all. ”

"After all, it's those two Viking Saints! Not to mention destroying half of our Imperial fleet, it's damn that they're still here to help the Germans! One day we have to find a way to destroy them!"

"What's the use of talking about this now? they've made all the shots, and it looks like they're not just going to help a few games, they're going to spend a long time with us!"

"I really don't know what benefits the German side has promised them, and they have done so much to help!

"It's hard to say, maybe Germany is following our example and co-opting these Vikings? ”

"Then we will also co-opt it! One goddess cult is not enough, and then two more will be co-opted! As long as we overpower them, we can defeat this Nuremberg!"

"Hehe, you should be so easy to co-opt? This is not for nothing, we want to shelter and support them! A goddess sect is under great pressure! I don't know how much we have to support them after that. Besides, it's not like you don't know what those demons are like, and you take them in indiscriminately, how do you know what kind of heart they have?"

"Yes, yes, yes, this opening can't be opened again, although the Goddess Sect was also a demon before, it was relatively better, the ambition is not big, and it is not difficult to control. But the others are all crazy! It is impossible to control them at all! Accepting them will do more harm than good! Maybe the Holy See will interfere!"

"Then retreat, anyway, now that Austria has been occupied by us, and this Germany does not have the courage and strength to compete with us in a short time, let's retreat back and put things in order, and do all the defense along the river, at least it can last a few years, and then think about it in the long run." ”

"Yes, now that the German elite is exhausted, it is still difficult to defend the homeland, it is impossible to cross the river to recapture Austria, and if you want to restore the strength of the past, it will take seven or eight years, so long is enough for us to build the Austrian defense line impregnable!"

"Alas, although I am unwilling, I can only do this, I can't fight with Germany to lose both. Other countries are eyeing each other, Spain, Italy have recently become stronger, and some are about to move, and England, I don't know when the civil war will end, and what will happen when the time comes? ”

......

There was a lot of noise in the big tent of the Chinese army for a while, but in the end the idea was unified, that is, to retreat. The vast majority of the generals retreated, and there was no hope of victory.

In fact, strictly speaking, it may not be impossible to win if you fight hard, the quality of France's soldiers far exceeds those recruits in Germany, and after d'Artagnan was recalled from the rear, the gap between the high-end armed forces of the martial saint level and Germany is not too big, if the whole army is really dispatched and fights to the death, it may not be impossible to take Nuremberg.

But just like those generals analyzed, this loss is too great! Even if it can be defeated, it will be a miserable victory, and not only the soldiers and generals, but also the strong men of the martial saint level may fall!

In a battle at the Martial Saint level, it is easy to distinguish victory or defeat, but it is difficult to distinguish between life and death, unless the opponent does not run away. For example, in the national war, in order to protect the country, he did not retreat and fought to the death. For example, like now, although the martial saint-level powerhouses on both sides are fighting every day, and it seems that the fight is very lively, in fact, they are all not using all their strength, and they are not desperate!

Of course, it's not that they're unpatriotic, or unwilling to follow orders to go all out. There is a reason why they preserve their strength so much. First, there are still many evil demons hidden around, and once they consume too much and are unsustainable, they will take action if they can't keep these demons, kill them on the spot, and take them away.

Second, although the Martial Saint level can also distinguish between life and death, even if the old Martial Saint crushes the new Martial Saint and kills the other party, he will inevitably be hit hard, and finally he will be taken advantage of by the Evil Demon Outer Dao. Just like when the Viking King and the English "Knight of the Lake" Lancelot besieged the French "Sharpshooter" Bordos, although they killed Bordos in the end, the Viking King and Lancelot were both heavily injured. And the "Divine Spear Martial Saint" is not very strong among all the Martial Saints, and even fighting alone is not an opponent for any of the above.

As time passed, the noise in the tent became weaker and weaker, and finally silence regained as all the generals and staff officers looked at His Majesty Napoleon on the throne, waiting for him to make a final decision.

Finally, after a long silence, His Majesty Napoleon put down his hand holding his forehead and raised his head, his face was tired, and his voice was tired: "Alas, I understand, the order is to go down, the whole army will rest for the night, and tomorrow morning we will get up and start the camp, and we will go back to Austria!"

The order is clear, very clear, and in line with everyone's current wishes. But everyone heard a strong unwillingness in this short sentence.

But no one persuaded anyone to persuade them anymore, no matter what, under the protracted siege war, everyone was already exhausted, even the most belligerent and fanatical generals, they were all worn out of their spirits, and they couldn't wait to end the war, return to Austria, and even return to France, to reunite with their families, wives and children, to rest well, and to heal the fatigue and trauma of body and mind.

So, after the meeting, the generals left the tent one after another and conveyed the order. Suddenly, the camp erupted in cheers one after another, often one wave after another, and then again, no worse than the cheers after the previous victory.

Such cheers inevitably attracted the attention of the Germans on the walls of Nuremberg, who poked their heads out in disbelief and looked at the French barracks that burst into cheers in the dark night.
