"Hornde, I have given you full authority to investigate this matter. I will arrest all the people who participated in the banquet! I will also arrest everyone who has anything to do with the carriage driver!"
After hearing what Hornd said about the assassination, William said to Horned, and after William finished speaking, Horned immediately responded:
"Your Majesty the King, the investigation into the murderer has been launched, and everyone who participated in the banquet that day was gathered together for custody. However, when we checked the list, we found that the murderer who assassinated His Royal Highness Du Li that day was not on the list.
This also means that the murderer was not the attendant that day, but may have been disguising himself. We found out something about the groom, but according to the investigation data, the groom was a Dutchman.
He fled from the Netherlands to Parets during the time of Teresa!"
Hornde's words made William very dissatisfied.
"You mean, after investigation, there are no clues at all?"
"That's not true. According to our investigation, we learned that this groom has a niece, but this niece married a local resident of Parets five years ago. The groom came here precisely to seek refuge with his niece!"
"Well, since I have entrusted this matter to you, I will no longer care about it. All you need to do is to find the murderer for me! I will give you the greatest rights. Even if it involves members of the royal family, I will allow it.
You conduct a house arrest investigation!”
After William finished speaking, he closed his eyes and lay on the chair to rest. His spirit had reached a limit.
.................................................
The battle outside Paris has reached fever pitch. Both the coalition soldiers and the French troops defending the city have suffered considerable casualties. Several hundred coalition soldiers climbed onto the wall, but were later driven off.
Standing not far under the city wall, little Ferdinand looked a little ugly. You must know that the battle lasted for two days. Not counting the British, the Prussians suffered more than 2,000 casualties.
Less than a thousand people.
Just when the attack and defense of Paris were in full swing, Duke Andrew came to little Ferdinand's side
"Your Majesty, Marshal, preparations have been made on the Seine. We can be ready to attack at any time, and we are just waiting for your order now!'
Hearing Duke Andrew's words, little Ferdinand shook his fist fiercely and shouted:
"Duke Andrew, you did a great job! Now it's time for us to give those French people a taste of their awesomeness!"
After little Ferdinand finished speaking, he came to the Seine River under the leadership of Duke Andrew.
"Duke Andrew, how many people did we send this time?"
"Your Excellency, Marshal, I have invested two thousand troops to attack the Seine Water Gate this time. All of these two thousand men are from Great Britain. Their water quality is quite good. Even if we fail, these soldiers will
Even if you swim, you can come back!"
Duke Andrew said to little Ferdinand quite proudly.
Marshal Ferdinand Jr. smiled when he heard Duke Andrew's words, and then gave Duke Andrew the order to attack.
I saw a red flag suddenly appear in Duke Andrew's hand. Then he waved forward suddenly, and at the moment Duke Andrew waved the flag, eleven fishing boats rushed towards the Watergate on the Seine River like mysterious arrows.
go.
These fishing boats were all loaded with gunpowder. When these fishing boats rushed towards the water gate, the French defenders on the water gate suddenly roared.
"Who is it! Stop the ship immediately for inspection! Otherwise, we will treat it as an enemy and attack!"
However, these French people's shouts were not responded to at all. Seeing this situation, the French people guarding the water gate immediately opened the bolt of their guns and started loading ammunition.
"I'm warning you again, the fishing boats on the opposite side should stop moving forward immediately, otherwise we will attack!"
After another warning, seeing that the fishing boats still did not stop moving forward, the French defenders at the water gate began to target the fishing boats and opened fire on the orders of the commander.
The bows of these fishing boats were all blocked by thick wooden boards, and the French army's firing did not have much effect.
"Don't stop, rush over to me immediately!"
The British commander commanding the fishing boat stood on the bow and shouted loudly. After the British commander finished shouting, all the fishing boats accelerated their progress.
The French defenders on the Watergate fired three rounds of fire, but the shooting did not achieve much effect. None of the eleven fishing boats were sunk.
After a while, these fishing boats arrived under the water gate.
"Light the fire and jump off the ship!"
After the British commander roared, he personally took the torch from the soldiers beside him and threw it into the cabin. After throwing it, the commander immediately jumped into the water.
All eleven fishing boats crowded under the water gate. After a while, these fishing boats began to catch fire. In less than a minute, explosions began to sound under the water gate.
Eleven consecutive explosions shocked the entire Watergate area. All French soldiers were stunned. Amidst the continuous explosions, the Seine Watergate in Paris began to collapse under the impact of a huge explosion.
"Leave quickly, the water gate is about to collapse!"
A French officer stood on the water gate and shouted, and after he finished shouting, the French soldiers were seen running away into the distance like frightened birds.
In half an hour, all the water gates on the Seine River had been blown down. The coalition transport ship behind the eleven fishing boats immediately began to speed up after seeing the water gates being blown down. After all the iron bars of the water gates were blown down,
All these transport ships also arrived at the water gate.
"Quick, rush in at once and let the French see how powerful we are!"
A British commander stood on the bow of the transport ship and shouted.
A dozen transport ships carrying more than a thousand coalition soldiers rushed into the water gate.
"fire!"
When the French forts on both sides of the Seine River broke into the water gate with the Allied transport ships, the commanders of these forts immediately shouted:
Inside the Watergate, there are a total of three forts in Paris, and there are a total of twenty artillery on these forts. The explosion at the Watergate attracted the attention of these three forts. After noticing that the enemy transport ship entered the city of Paris, the Seine
After the river channel, the three forts, under the command of the commander, aimed at the enemy's transport ship and started to light fires.
"Don't stop, speed up, all ships, perform S-shaped evasion immediately!"
The words spoken by the British commander seemed quite professional. It was obvious that this British commander had served in the Royal Navy. Otherwise, he would not have said such words as S-type evasion.
Sure enough, under the command of the commander, these transport ships began to swing their hulls. Although they could not effectively avoid all the shells, and the coalition transport ships also suffered certain casualties, most of the transport ships and the soldiers on board
Didn't suffer much loss.
The battle on the Seine soon attracted Napoleon's attention.
"Your Excellency, Marshal, there was a battle on the Seine. The enemy used gunpowder to blow up the water gate on the Seine. Now the enemy's transport ship has broken into the city of Paris!"
After hearing what his staff said, Napoleon's face suddenly became serious.
"Immediately dispatch nearby troops to support, and immediately send people to the embankment to wait for my order. As soon as my order is issued, immediately dig up the embankment and release water to drown those British dogs!"
Napoleon's words were full of murderous intent. After hearing Napoleon's order, the staff officer's face suddenly straightened and he said:
"As you command, Your Majesty Marshal!"
After the staff officer finished speaking, he immediately left the office, and Napoleon also adjusted the military cap on his head.
Brankov led an army of 40,000 people to lurk day and night to Zelenograd, where Rumyantsev's headquarters was located. Through the telescope, Brankov had already seen the entire Zelenograd.
"Your Excellency, Marshal, the enemy is still not aware of our whereabouts. Our army can reach Zelenograd before the enemy discovers it. Our artillery is ready and can definitely destroy it before the enemy can react."
Wall!"
Hearing the answer from his men, a satisfied smile appeared on Brankov's face. Looking at Zelenograd in the telescope, a sneer appeared on the corner of Brankov's mouth.
"Convey my order, prepare me immediately, and launch the attack on Zelenograd in a quarter of an hour!"
"As you command!"
After the officers under his command obeyed the order, they left to deliver the order.
In less than a quarter of an hour, Brankov's 40,000 troops were ready. Later, when Brankov's messengers arrived at each square, the main force of 40,000 rebels formed a neat formation and marched toward Zelie.
Nogler rushed over.
"Enemy attack!"
When the rebels completely appeared in the sight of the Zelenograd defenders, the defenders roared loudly as if they were waking up from a dream.
Just when the defenders discovered the rebels, Rumyantsev woke up slowly in the city headquarters.
"what happened!"
The loud sirens in the city suddenly startled Rumyantsev. From the appearance of the old marshal, he was already terminally ill, and his whole face was pale and inhuman.
"Call me Toskov immediately! .......Wait a minute, don't call for Toskov, tell him what I mean and call him to me immediately
Gather our forces to defend Zelenograd, and if the enemy has a large number of troops, immediately send troops to come back for reinforcements. Even if the situation is unfavorable, we can make the enemy into a sandwich biscuit!"
Rumyantsev lay on the boat and said with a pale face.
Rumyantsev wanted to call Toskov to his side before, but Rumyantsev thought in his mind that it was Toskov who was actually commanding the army now. If he was gesticulating at this moment, it would undoubtedly be superfluous, and it was reckless.
After all, Myantsev was seriously ill, and the actual command of the army was still in the hands of Toskov.
