Where is the limit of human beings? No one can explain it clearly, but one thing is certain. Many people who are hailed as legends had no choice at that time!

If there is a choice, the old company commander also hopes to complete the operation in a clean and tidy hospital, including anesthetics, beautiful female nurses, and skilled surgeons!

But there is nothing in Metz City, no doctors, nurses, anesthetics... not even taking anything, there are only shells like a mountain, bullets and*!

The old company commander inquired and according to the current consumption rate, the ammunition in Metz City can last at least three months!

Three months! It’s January 1871. These ammunitions can support one winter, but what about food? Can the food currently last for three weeks?

After surviving the most painful moment, the alcohol rinses the wound, cut off the gangrene meat and suture it is no longer a big deal!

After the wound was completely sutured and he spit out the wood residue in his mouth, the second platoon leader had returned from hunting. He took a squad of soldiers and took out sixteen big rats from the sewer of the defense zone and strung them together with a wooden stick.

"It's already noon...prepare the food...it seems that I can eat some good ones today...fresh rat meat!"

All the food in Metz City has been distributed uniformly, dog meat and cat meat are delicacies for senior officers, and all the birds in the sky have been shot down one by one by one by the sharpshooter.

And these ordinary front-line soldiers can only take mice from the sewer to eat them!

Even mice cannot be caught casually. You cannot cross the defense zone and catch mice on other people's territory, but there will be an argument!

The rat was peeled, the internal organs were removed, the meat was washed and cut into small pieces, boiled in the iron pot and the rat meat and a little oat distributed by the logistics were thrown in, and then sprinkled with a little salt.

More than a hundred brothers surrounded three large iron pots, looking at the broth that could count wheat grains clearly, and their eyes were filled with greedy eyes!

The old company commander looked at the position of Pu Jun in the distance with bright eyes. He said without looking back, "In each pot, a piece of compressed biscuit is divided into every bloody battle! After a night of bloody battle, he should make up for it..."

"Long live!" The brothers cheered excitedly. The platoon leader personally took the spoon, pinched the seized compressed biscuits in one hand, and held the dagger in the other hand, and began to scrape the biscuits into crumbs bit by bit, and then sprinkle them in the pot.

The other soldiers gently stirred the broth with a wooden spoon, and the compressed biscuits were filled with starch. Soon the mouse broth had a little sticky feeling, the aroma of oil and sugar, and even a little milky aroma began to float out.

Just as the entire company soldiers were waiting for the broth to be cooked, the old company commander who was observing the battlefield suddenly changed his face. He poked the ground with his hand and wanted to sit up regardless of the pain of the wound.

"Help me...help me against the wall...Pu Jun moves again on the opposite side...you can see..."

The telescope was placed in the company commander's hand. The focal length was slightly turned, and soon the old company commander discovered the strangeness of the enemy's position opposite. In the camp opposite, countless officer-like people ran out of the tent and wooden house. They were lined up in two rows in the distance, as if waiting for someone.

After a while, more than a dozen military carriages suddenly appeared further away, and under the escort of hundreds of cavalry, they soon arrived at the position of the Pu army.

"God! The great man from the Pu Army has come to inspect the positions again... God, you don't want to carry out a general attack on our side, right? God bless you, don't use our defense zone as the general attack location..."

Even if there is a telescope, the distance is far enough. The old company commander couldn't see the appearance of the visitor or even the ranks on his military uniform. He just thought those military uniforms were strange, as if they were not the style of ordinary general soldiers!

The senior officials who inspected the battlefield came to the trench at the forefront, and under the protection of countless soldiers, they began to look at the city of Metz with telescopes, and from time to time they whispered to each other.

The more I looked at it, the more I became, the more I felt that these big men suddenly appeared were different, because he actually saw the blue military uniform!

"I joined the army at the age of nineteen and have been fighting for more than twenty years now... I have been to Crimea, and I have also fought for the Qing Dynasty... Except for the navy, it is impossible for other troops to have such blue and white tones?"

"The Navy is here? Could it be..." The old company commander put down his telescope. "There is only one possibility. The Chinese officials who came opposite were... those Chinese!"

He guessed nothing wrong. The one who revealed his identity was Xiang Ying and a group of naval officers watching the battle!

The Zhiyuan was overhauled in William's military port at this moment. Xiang Ying took senior officials such as Jin Sanshun to the head of state for thousands of miles, with the purpose of watching the battle and learning!

Maybe Xiao Letian just lost his disciple Zai Chun and was in a little lonely mood, so he didn't want to lose Xiang Ying again, so the old accounts in the past were not settled!

The relationship between master and apprentice has eased a lot. This time Xiao Letian helped Bei Simai to coordinate diplomatically, and Xiang Ying and Jin Sanshun have always followed him.

Xiao Letian in the trench looked at Mesjian City with a telescope, and couldn't help but take a breath of air conditioning. "What a majestic fortress city! What a complex city defense system!"

The commander of the military commander next to him said respectfully, "Yes, the head of state! The entire city of Metz has been completely militarized, and France has been continuously expanding for hundreds of years in the Middle Ages!"

"This is a strong city that can garrison 100,000 troops... and there are tunnels and bastions underground, so we don't know the location at all!"

"It is difficult for us to find out the situation in the city at the moment. The only thing we can confirm is that the city is seriously lacking in food...so I suggest... it's better to siege the city!"

These front-line commanders all hope to do the work of Tong's head of state first, and then ask Xiao Letian to give advice to Beismai and Lao Maoqi. These commanders all hope to suspend the attack. There are too many dead people in this city!

"The Head of State... the number of casualties in one day exceeded 4,000 yesterday... I really can't kill him!"

Xiao Letian stopped talking. The fortress city in front of him that could not be seen at first sight shocked him, and some long-standing fragments in his memory began to gradually emerge.

Metz City is not very well-known in the 21st century, but this city has a strong mark in world military history!

Needless to mention the popularization of the law, when the Allies officially began the battle to liberate France in the late World War II, a battle with low popularity but great significance broke out in the city of Metz!

Battle of Metz! I am not a real military fan, I am afraid I don’t know the existence of this battle!

Just under this strong city, the famous US military general Patton was once hit and bleeding!

Xiao Letian frowned and whispered, "You can't beat me! You can't beat me! How many people will die... Pass my order and find a group of French officers from your captives. I want to identify them myself!"
