3003 City of the Holy Maiden

Gan Bida did not rest for a minute, and he would not let his subordinates rest. Just as he set foot on the land on the south bank, Gan Bida delivered a speech to inspire the entire army in Orleans!

"Great French people! Our motherland is bleeding, and our nation is at a critical moment of life and death!"

"All the Prussians have to do is to destroy the country and the race! They want to destroy the great French civilization!"

"The cowards and cowards and countless people with ulterior motives are plotting to stolen the country together. They have long been bent their knees to the invaders!"

"Three million people in Paris were surrounded by less than 300,000 Pu's army, but they have never fought a breakthrough battle until now!"

"Why is this? It's because those cartilages have been scared!"

"Children of the motherland! Do we have to watch the civilized France finally fall into the hands of the feudal centralized Prussia?"

"Can the light of civilization brought by the Great Revolution eventually be destroyed in the hands of the feudal monarch?"

"I'm not willing to give up! Where are you?"

The passionate speech inspired all the soldiers present, and Gan Bi jumped to the shell box and pointed his hand to the north!

"France warriors! The national strength of our motherland is ten times hundred times that of Prussia. We have huge colonies dozens of times more than our homeland. We have resources that the Prussians could not imagine!"

"Why do we have to lose? Why don't our capital dare to resist? Why!"

"The motherland now only needs one victory, and the people only need one victory to boost morale! The cowards in Paris dare not fight, and the Northern Corps has been destroyed under the command of the incompetent emperor!"

"So where is the hope of the Republic? Who else can we expect besides our Southern Corps? Orleans must be the turning point in this war!"

"We are the saviors of the motherland! We must use victory to ignite the raging fire of the entire French war of resistance!"

"My brothers and sisters! What city is across the river? It's Orleans! It's the holy city that Joan of Arc saved France!"

Gan Bida's shouting heart-wrenchingly "Joan of Arc is here, and he received the blessings of the Archangels Saint Miel, Saint Margaret and Saint Caterena in Orleans..."

"It is also here that he led the French army to defeat the British!"

"It is also here that our saint shouted out her faith, 'For France, I will die as if I were home!"

Garbida was already excited and tears burst out, and his fingers reached into the distance. "Brothers and sisters of France! Who do not know the Cathedral of the Holy Cross on the North Shore? Who do not know the Square of Martyrdom commemorating Joan of Arc?"

"The heroic soul of Joan of Arc is watching us in the sky! If you still have to fight to the death, when will you wait?"

Gan Bida suddenly knelt down on one knee and prayed devoutly to the tall Holy Cross Square in the north. The tens of thousands of officers and soldiers of the Loire Corps around him were all excited and burst into tears, and they knelt down in the dust together!

"The heroic soul of Joan of Arc bless France, and I will use my life to fulfill your oath... For France, I will die as if I am home!"

"Friends! I'll stand here, watching you liberate our city, and to see you defeat the enemy's corps!"

"From now on, the battle will never stop!"

Joan of Arc is a national hero of France. Even countless scholars believe that Joan of Arc's deeds are the beginning of the birth of French nationalism. Without the saint, there would be no French nationalist spirit!

Emperors of all generations, including Napoleon, the god of war, respected Joan of Arc incredibly!

How important the victory of the Battle of Orleans led by Joan of Arc is to France, you can see clearly from the situation of the Hundred Years of War in Britain and France.

At that time, France had suffered serious domestic struggles and its national strength was greatly consumed. Britain had already captured Paris, the entire northern part of France became British territory, and Orleans became the front line to protect the fragile south.

When the country was about to completely perish, Joan of Arc emerged and encouraged the morale of the French military and civilians as a saint. Winning the Battle of Orleans completely reversed the situation of destruction!

Now, in the Franco-Prussian War, Orleans was given a sacred color by Ganbida. During the special period of Wanmaqi, this city of Saint Maid once again took on the important task of boosting national morale!

If the Battle of Orleans is victorious, the morale of the whole law can be reversed, and the war will enter a lasting situation where there will be no surrender. This result is unacceptable to Prussia!

As long as France's confidence is completely mobilized, Prussia's national strength will not be consumed!

The truth is obvious, the flame of nationalism is just a little bit!

A tsunami-like cry of war suddenly broke out on both sides of the Loire River, and Joan of Arc's famous saying once again shocked the earth!

"For France! I'm ready to die!"

The Prussians never expected that these Frenchmen had rescued Gan Bida but had no intention of retreating. In just over ten minutes, hundreds of thousands of troops actually started a general attack!

The pontoon bridge was full of close troops, and 1,800 cannons were pushed to the river bank and began to unlimited artillery attacks on the Pu army!

All the shells were transported to the front line. The artillery knew that their bronze artillery was not as good as the Krupp of the General Army, but they risked being destroyed by enemy artillery fire and rushed to the front line!

"The artillery fires...covers the infantry attack!"

"Don't care about casualties... don't care about the enemy's counterattack... Even if the entire army is wiped out, you must cover the infantry's attack!"

"For France! I'm ready to die!"

The Prussians should not be caught off guard. The continuous explosion of artillery fire exploded and the French attacked positions, and the positions seized by the north shore expanded several times!

The Southern Corps are all based on their hometowns. These corpses marked by place names are actually better than the cooperation of veterans by relying on the bonds between the villagers!

Often a group of comrades died, and ten times more villagers would kill them to take revenge!

The battle for each block, the Pu army retreated again and again, and organized counterattacks again and again. Thanks to the well-trained soldiers and sharp artillery, otherwise there would be no trace of the Pu army in Orleans City in one day.

The news of the war broke out in Orleans was soon telegraphed to Prince Carl's command in the rear. At this moment, Prince Carl was commanding the army to encircle and suppress the remaining French corps in Troyes, Dijon and other places.

This place is not far from Metz, and there is also the Vosges Mountains with high mountains and forests. These southern French corps are preparing to break up into small groups and support the north through mountain roads.

The Vosges Mountains are not suitable for large corps combat, and Prince Carl only blocked important passes, but he knew very well that there must be many secret paths in the mountains to pass.

In order to eat Bazan of Metz, he must set up many lines of defense here to block these southern reinforcements outside the Vosges!

The war was fragmented but very difficult. The continued battle caused heavy losses to the Prussian army and its morale was sluggish. In addition, its own logistics support line was getting farther and farther away. As the guerrillas penetrated deep into France, they also resisted very tenaciously.

Prince Carl received bad news early in the morning that a military train transporting supplies was attacked by French guerrillas, and more than 10,000 shells and countless military rations, and all the medicines were blown up!

But bad news always comes one after another, and in the afternoon he received an emergency telegram from Orleans!

"Bastard! Idiot! I gave Halterman a hundred thousand army. Can't he even defend a city? In an emergency? Where can I have a reserve team for him!"
