Seeing that the expression on William's face was still calm, Muhad became a little nervous.
"Your Majesty, can you still tolerate such a bad neighbor? Of course we don't need Prussia to send troops. We just need your country to exert some pressure on the Russians in the east so that the Russians can distract some energy. This way
Conditions are not a problem to you at all, are they?"
"Your Excellency Muhad, I have seen your country's sincerity. It is true that Russia is an evil country and we have suffered greatly from it. However, our country's borders also face various problems. These problems make me not completely
Concentrate your energy. Of course, if your country can open part of its ports to our country for commercial trade between us and pay a small amount of funds, I think it will not be out of friendship between you and us, or to fight against our common
As our enemy, Prussia has no choice but to take responsibility!”
It can be said that William's asking price is not high, and of course Prussia will not do much, so this price is very reasonable.
After William's words came to light, Muhad's face revealed a trace of embarrassment, but just a moment later, Muhad spoke with difficulty:
"We are willing to pay 30,000 gold thalers. This is already the bottom line. If your Majesty still doesn't agree, then there is nothing I can do!"
Muhad gritted his teeth and stated his bottom line, and this bottom line satisfied William, so after a while, the two parties reached an agreement.
After sending Muhad away, William looked at the fluttering piece of paper in his hand with a smile on his face.
.............................
Creech raised his binoculars and looked at the town of Drake, not far away. He saw that the town was filled with various defensive positions, and rebels in messy clothes were dotted among them. He carefully scanned the front of the entire battlefield.
, Creech only saw less than ten artillery pieces, which made Creech feel a little contemptuous in his heart.
"They are indeed a bunch of rabble. Lafayette actually pinned his hopes on these rabble. He is simply crazy."
As he said that, Krich waved his hand fiercely.
A large cloud of smoke suddenly rose behind Kerridge. The smoke filled the entire sky, and as the smoke approached, bursts of drum beats reached the ears of the Delek garrison.
When France's white eagle's tail flag appeared on the battlefield, the town of Delek suddenly became commotion
"The French army is coming, get ready for battle!"
"Oh. No. God! Please protect me!"
"Damn........."
Various orders and prayers filled the entire battlefield. Although the rebel Second Army was better than the Third and Fourth Army, which was composed entirely of farmers, it was only so good.
Just a little bit.
The main components of the second rebel army are the citizens of Lyon, ruffians and some workers. They have not been systematically trained. They are not even fully equipped with firearms. There are less than 4,000 of the 30,000 people.
Wearing neat uniforms and holding firearms, other people are completely unsightly.
Even so, thanks to the rebels' early preparations, the rebels built various fortifications on the outskirts of Drake Town. Although these fortifications were considered crude in the eyes of the Marquis of Creech, they were
For the defenders in the town, these fortifications are a magic weapon to keep their lives.
Just when Creech commanded the Second Corps and was about to enter the rebels' firing range, he saw that the rebel artillery had actually opened fire. Seeing this, Creech's face was filled with sarcasm.
Originally, there were only nine artillery pieces in Delek Town, but now, perhaps because of nervousness, the rebel artillery actually opened fire before the French army had reached the firing range. Even at such a long distance, let alone people.
Even cats can't be killed.
But what Creech didn't expect was that after the artillery fired, the remaining artillery pieces of the rebels roared, but they didn't even achieve any results.
Creech didn't know whether he should cry or laugh. Those stupid rebel artillerymen actually wasted a precious shooting opportunity. If it were Creech's own men, he would have liked to execute them immediately, but now when this
When this kind of stupidity appeared on his enemy, there was only a strange look on Kerridge's face.
"The army is advancing faster! The artillery is advancing rapidly, and the cavalry is guarding both wings. The entire army must concentrate all its energy and defeat those stupid rebels like pigs and dogs in one fell swoop!"
With Creech's order, the French army on the battlefield instantly accelerated their marching speed, and the various artillery pieces accompanying the army quickly moved towards the predetermined gun positions.
There was a huge contrast between the well-trained French army and the panic of the rebels. Scheding, who was responsible for the defense in the town, was already a little overwhelmed. Although Scheding was also a French officer, he was just a
The captain, so far, has commanded the most battles at the level of a thousand people, but now it is a competition between tens of thousands of people, and Scheding feels that his brain is not enough.
"Quickly, send two regiments forward to the left front of the position to strengthen the defense there, and send one regiment to the side and rear to prevent the French cavalry from attacking. In addition, give me...
....."
Before Scheding could finish his arrangements, the French army was almost approaching the rebel defense line, and the French artillery roared even faster, announcing the start of the French attack.
.............................
The war situation in the north is not optimistic, and in Enlaize Town, the situation of the rebels is also not optimistic. Although at the beginning, the rebels' third and first regiments marched smoothly, within four days of contact with the French army
Continuous battles led to the rebel commander Bertin even boasting that he would drive the French army back to Dijon within a week.
Just after Berletan made his bold statement, the rebels attacked again and instantly defeated the French defense line. The town of Enleize, which had been lost for more than a week, returned to the hands of the rebels.
Stroking the wall of Enlaize Town, Bolitan felt arrogant in his heart that no one in the world could stop the army. What made him even more proud was that when the rebels invaded Enlaize Town, they discovered that there were actually leftover objects in the town.
The large amount of logistical equipment of the French army all added to Bolitan's arrogance.
The victory of the war made Bolitan lose his vigilance. While he ordered the information about the capture of Enlaize to be sent back to Lyon, he also ordered the rebels to enter the town of Enlaize. But what Bolitan did not expect was that that night, a fire broke out.
It burned inexplicably, and the sleeping rebel soldiers became the first touchstone of the fire.
After capturing Enlaize, a lot of the French army's logistical equipment was captured, including a lot of fine wine. So that night, the rebels held a grand banquet, and many soldiers drank heartily.
This enjoyment became the murderer of the Fire Demon after the fire. Due to the drunkenness of the soldiers and the sudden rise of the fire, countless rebel soldiers were killed by the Fire Demon without warning.
Belitan rolled out of Enleize in dejection, looking at his less than three thousand soldiers, he felt like crying but had no tears in his heart.
Just when Bolitan was looking at all this in front of him with no tears left, countless French troops appeared out of nowhere. Just when Bolitan just received the news, they had been executed.
The army surrounded him.
Napoleon looked arrogantly at the surrounded rebels and burst into laughter.
The French army that seemed to be defeated by Bolitan was actually a deliberate arrangement by Napoleon, and the baggage was also deliberately left behind by Napoleon. This baggage contained not only fine wine, but also more grease.
The reason why there is grease is because the maintenance of firearms requires the wiping of these greases, so these greases did not arouse the alert of the rebels. When withdrawing from the town of Enlaize, Napoleon even ordered countless weapons to be deployed in the town.
The firewood and straw, and the flammable materials scattered everywhere did not arouse anyone's suspicion.
What's more, Napoleon dug a tunnel in the town in just a few days. Some French soldiers were hidden in these tunnels. When the rebel security was lowered at night, these soldiers drilled out of the tunnel and ignited the pre-prepared fire.
Good points of fire everywhere.
And the corresponding results did not live up to Napoleon's energy!
"Belitan, I advise you to surrender as soon as possible. You defeated generals have been surrounded by my 20,000 troops. You have no other way to survive except surrender!"
Napoleon sent a cavalryman to rush to Bethletan's group and loudly stated a fact.
"No, I haven't lost yet. As long as we can escape back to Lyon, we still have a chance of winning!"
The stunned Berlitan was awakened by this shout. After waking up, he immediately refuted the cavalryman's words in a hysterical manner.
"Get ready for battle, we are ready to break out!"
Bolitan issued an order to the three thousand people behind him, but before he could take action, he saw another cavalry rushing out of the French formation, and he shouted:
"Your Majesty the General has an order. Our army will only kill the chief culprit. Our general knows that all of you are being coerced. As long as you put down your weapons now, then our general will decide to forget the past! You have been surrounded by our 20,000 troops, and you can't escape.
Now, your only way to survive is to surrender!"
"No, don't listen to the enemy's instigation. Those king's lackeys want to destroy us!"
But Bolitan's words did not have the effect he imagined. One after another, the rebel soldiers behind him dropped their weapons. In the end, he was the only one in the entire rebel camp who still had a weapon in his hand.
.
Looking at the dejected comrades around him, Bolitan knew that they were already in despair.
"Haha..., haha...ha! It's the end of the road, but what if!"
With that said, Bolitan raised the saber in his hand and threw it away, surrendering.............(To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian.
