After hearing the news, the French were furious: "You dare!"

It is no wonder that the French jumped their feet. The Cathedral of Notre Dame de Reims is the predecessor of the famous Notre Dame de Paris. It was crowned here by the French kings of all ages. This is the holy place in the minds of the French!

The Cathedral of Our Lady not only enjoys the honor of the Crown Cathedral, but also is well-known in the history of architecture.

It was built in 1211 and took 83 years to basically complete. Two giant towers, 82 meters high, were completed in 1428.

The whole church has the same style and harmonious structure, making it a typical example of Gothic mature architecture. It has similarities with Notre Dame Cathedral, but it is more exquisite and translucent, with more than 2,300 images of small and large.

The withered image of "Smiling Angel" on the left door of the west facade is a rare fine art in the Middle Ages. The interior of the hall is 138 meters long and 38 meters high, deep and solemn and elegant, and is worthy of being an extraordinary coronation cathedral.

The Austrians want to destroy the Cathedral of Our Lady, which is a blasphemy!

Lieutenant General De Mawuba analyzed from a technical perspective: "The Cathedral of Our Lady is in the city, and it is not something you can destroy just by wanting to destroy it."

Viscount Remi was calm and took out a drawing. When the French saw it, they were stunned.

This picture is the defence map of Reims City, which marks the city's defense facilities and important goals in various places. The Cathedral of Our Lady is in the picture, and the picture is exquisitely made, with appropriate proportions and accurate locations, indicating the location and distance of the Cathedral of Our Lady.

In ancient times, the city was not big, and the Cathedral of Our Lady was completely within the range of Austrian siege equipment.

In addition, the map also marks the locations of the Monastery of Saint Remi and the Cross of Saint Anthony in the city. Viscount Remi pointed to two places, warmly reminding the French that this is also the target to be destroyed.

The French were furious when they heard this. When the nobles saw the nobles, their tears of warmth disappeared. They thought that they would hang the viscount on the head of the city of Reims to severely punish his disrespect!

The Monastery of Saint Remi has a long history and retains the exquisite nave from the 9th century. The wide atrium was built in 1049. The body of Bishop Saint Remi (440-533) is lying flat. According to legend, in the 9th century, when Archbishop Hincmar baptized King Colovy, a Holy Spirit descended from the sky and handed a small bottle of holy oil to the Archbishop. The oil bottle was filled with magical oil, which was inexhaustible and used, symbolizing endless power. Since then, Reims has become a city that holds the king's coronation and the sacred oil ritual.

The real history is that on Christmas 498 AD, Bishop St. Remy presided over the baptism ceremony of the first king of Frank, Crove, in Reims. Later, it became a holy place for the crowning of kings of all generations and to prove the legitimate power of the French royal family.

As for St. Anthony's Cross, it is an archbishop's palace that plays an important role in religious rituals. The archbishops who crown the king rest in this palace, pray to God in peace and pray to the king from then on.

Think about it, the king is supreme in the world, and the Archbishop who can crown the king is the spokesperson of God in the world. The palace where they live is naturally a noble status.

The Cathedral of Our Lady, which involves antiquities, the sacred and royal family, the Monastery of St. Remy and the Cross of St. Anthony in the minds of the French, just like the Forbidden City of the Chinese, the Pope Palace of the Italians, the onion heads of the Russians and the toilet of the Japanese in the minds of the people of all countries.

Now, the Austrians threaten to destroy them all.

Viscount Remi proclaimed: "You have seen the power of our trenchers. Then, with the heavy artillery, we can destroy your church!"

He said proudly: "With the accuracy of our shooting, you don't have to doubt the power of the dark side of our empire. I guarantee that your holy land will become a void within one day!"

Viscount Remi was very happy and said he was sarcastic, and he actually pulled the power of the dark side of the empire. This was the catchphrase of the former British, the Marshal of the South China Navy, Siresma. He was named a black warrior and said that the enemy would try the power of the dark side of the empire!

All the French people had a blast of fire, and Lieutenant General De Mavuba was calm and angrily accused: "You Austrians are blasphemy!"

"No, no!" Viscount Remi waved his hand and said, "This is your church, not ours, and we are willing to give you a chance to fight if you have enough seeds! When you win, we will declare that the city of Lance is a non-war zone. If you don't fight, then we can only attack the city and destroy your church!"

He pointed at the French and said, "You are responsible, because of your timidity!"

Lieutenant General De Mawuba stared at him, Viscount Remi stared at him, spreading his hands and said, "This is exactly our sincerity, otherwise why should we make this bet and attack the city directly!"

It seems to make some sense. Now the ball is on the French side. Lieutenant General De Mavuba asked Viscount Remi to take a break here, and they went outside to discuss it.

The discussion soon came to an end, and the French decided to fight!

Although the French army in the 17th century AD was not invincible in the European land war, they also won most of them and looked up to Europe.

Therefore, the French officers and soldiers were brave and worthy of being descendants of the Gauls in the Roman era!

Then, the French passed away with this attempt!

...

Let’s say that Matu Yindi was ordered to lead 30,000 troops to go first, demanding a four-day trip to Lance City to reach Lance City within two days. They were also very successful and ran for two days in one day. Then that night, they received an urgent report from the front line. Matu Yindi opened it and looked at it, and his face changed drastically!

He didn't say a word, and wrote a message with paper, repacked it with the urgent report just now, and continued to send it back, while his troops continued to set off, but still rushed to the road.

The French Marshal Durenny received a report from Matuyindi the next morning. After opening it and looking at it, he sighed deeply.

Deputy General William Vandom, next to him, asked, "How is the situation?"

Lieutenant General William Van Dom, a mixed race between Spain and France, his father was a Spanish nobleman, but he served the French. This was normal in Europe in the seventeenth century.

Marshal Durenny handed the paper to him speechlessly, and William Vandom was so angry that he cursed: "D-Mawuba ruined the country!"

It turned out that the defenders of Lance City left the city to fight with the Austrian Sixth Army under the command of Lieutenant General German Mawuba, but they lost to the Austrians. Lieutenant General German Mawuba became a prisoner, and the Austrians entered the city peacefully!

The passage of the lost city was vague in the urgent report, but it was clear that Lieutenant General German Mavuba was defeated and the Austrians seized the city of Reims.

Matu Yindi reported that he continued to get closer, hoping to find an opportunity to retake Lance City, but if the enemy is in great force, he would retreat to promote strength.

After all, his troops are not large, so the way of adding fuel to the game will definitely not work.

Matuyindi is a mature move, while De Mawuba is too reckless. If the two change, they will be afraid of different results.

In Marshal Durenny's plan, Reims City was an important support point. The city was strong in defense. The French army relied on Reims City to defend and counterattack. The invaders came from afar and were full of morale. The French army first consumed its offensive posture with defense, and then attacked its food route, which had a good chance of winning.

The city of Reims was lost, and the French also built many fortress walls on the road to the west, but none of them were as strong as the city defenses of Reims and Verdun!

The situation is bad now and the situation is very difficult!

What should we do?

Marshal Durenny, who had been through the battle for a long time, was also confused!

Postscript: When Lieutenant General De Mavba resolutely fought to preserve the city of Reims was disclosed, although he was defeated, the holy traces of Reims were preserved, and most of the French believed that he did a good job.

Human victory and life are small, and only the sacred will last forever!
