175 A Miracle Really Was Born
"Sir, the soldiers below are having a big fuss, and even many battalions have begun to protest in an armed manner. The Li Wei rebels have no essential conflict with us, and the reinforcements of the Li Wei rebels are moving south quickly. If we delay here for a few more days, we will no longer face the Li Wei rebels of more than a thousand people."
"Yes, sir, these more than 50,000 people are the elite troops of our Spanish Kingdom. If they are all ruined here, how can we explain to the king and the cabinet?
I used to think it would be easy to take over the Eastern Pyrenees, and Livi would not fight the great Kingdom of Spain for a French province.
But we all underestimated Li Wei's madness. Now he would rather stop attacking the French revolutionary government than dispatch the main force to go south. If we continue to fight like this, we will be sinners in the anti-French alliance!"
The commander of the Spanish Army frowned and looked at the noble generals.
The just-exploded Spanish soldiers' armed protests really scared these nobles.
If the city of Perpignan was not captured and the army would blow up the camp first, it would be a matter of life and death!
Since we already know that the Li Wei rebels in Perpignan are difficult to crack and the morale of the army is so impetuous, we naturally don’t want to stay here and fight desperately.
At this time, the troops will be withdrawn and will be removed from their posts at most, and will not affect the family behind them. If the army is ruined and then returned to the country, then...
Oh no, if they are really defeated, will they still have a chance to escape?
And without these more than 50,000 "elite" regular troops, how could the Spanish Kingdom resist the crazy Li Wei's attack on the Spanish mainland?
If it really reaches that point, everyone will be nailed to the pillar of shame in Spanish history!
However, the commander of the Spanish Army understood that as the supreme commander and the supreme person in charge, once he retreated, it would be a military and political stain that accompanied him throughout his life.
More than 50,000 regular troops besieged a city with only more than a thousand defenders to retreat. Just one stroke is needed to fall into history books, and he will become a joke in later history textbooks.
The Spanish Army Commander did not want to be a joke, but he had to face the reality that was about to become a joke.
The following senior generals and officials didn't want to fight, and the lower-level soldiers protested in an armed manner. Is his persistence alone useful?
Although everyone knows that even if more than 50,000 people rushed into the city with only bayonets and fought for certain losses, they could wipe out the rebels of Li Wei, who were not afraid of death.
But no matter how much you know, who would be the predecessor cannon fodder that was sacrificed?
The previous battle has proved that the city of Perpignan was captured and destroyed more than a thousand Li Wei's rebels died, and it is very likely that they will break through the four-digit number!
Obviously, the big-headed soldiers below don’t want to become victims...
What's more, even if he takes over the city of Perpignan, how will he resist Li Wei's Black Dragon Legion?
He had never fought with Li Wei's Black Dragon Legion, so the Spanish Army commander was a little confident. At worst, he could build solid fortifications to fight Li Wei's Black Dragon Legion, which made Li Wei retreat in a difficult situation.
I can't beat the field battle, but can't I still fight the strong city defense?
Then in Perpignan, the Spanish Army commander was taught a good lesson, maybe he really couldn't beat...
Just relying on such a group of so-called "elite soldiers" that have never been paid in full, I will be able to fart!
Since the subsequent battle will definitely fail, the Spanish Army commander naturally needs to stop the loss in time. It is much better to be killed by a joke than to be a bigger joke, or even after the joke!
Reason occupies the peak of the brain, and the commander of the Spanish Army can only agree with the majority of people.
This decision is not difficult, and it can even bring him a lot of praise for the morale of the army. Although everyone does not like generals who defeat wars, a general who can lead everyone to escape will not be blamed by the officers and soldiers below.
Of course, if the Spanish Army commander led Jacobin's revolutionary army to save the country, it would be completely two consequences.
Being a fleeing general in the revolutionary army of the country rescue will be on the guillotine!
After the order to retreat was issued, cheers suddenly sounded in the barracks. When outsiders who didn't know saw it, they thought that these Spanish soldiers had won a rare victory!
No, they are happier than winning the battle, because they can save their lives and go home!
More than 50,000 Spanish Army retreated like this. When retreating, it did not forget to send people to explain to Carl, the main commander-in-chief of the Black Dragon Legion who was heading south.
Explain that this is a misunderstanding...
The misunderstanding is not about despising the other party’s IQ, but just to find a way out for both parties. Many misunderstandings are just compromises for mutual benefit.
This misunderstanding is actually the surrender of the Spanish Army.
At the same time, Li Wei, who was far away in the city of Toulouse, received a reward for this battle with a start and abrupt end.
This battle has successfully reached the evaluation criteria for the comprehensive war system thanks to the size of the Spanish Army and the huge gap in the corresponding Black Dragon Legion defenders.
However, since the Spanish Army retained most of its strength to retreat, the victory assessment was just an ordinary victory, and Levi received two glory rewards.
Of course, for Li Wei, these two glory values are in vain, because the defenders of the Black Dragon Legion in Perpignan were not dead!
In other words, the soldiers of the Spanish Army did not contact the enemy from beginning to end.
The Spanish Army envoy who admitted defeat had a good attitude and was so good that he was humble. The other party was not a genuine envoy, but an ordinary second lieutenant officer. No matter how low his posture was, it didn't matter.
Through the scout, Carl learned that the main force of the Spanish Army had removed the siege of Perpignan. After all, he went south and returned, he did not dare to take his own initiative and sent people to the city of Toulouse to seek Livi's opinions.
When Carl's troops arrived at the southern border of the Eastern Pyrenees province, which was the border between the former Kingdom of France and the Kingdom of Spain, they stopped and formed a confrontation with the more than 50,000 Spanish Army that had been slumped into the border fortifications opposite.
These border fortifications were built by the Spanish Army after being beaten once by the Revolutionary Army of the National Saving Country, to prevent the Revolutionary Army of the National Saving Country from heading south to invade the Kingdom of Spain.
The Spanish Army commander who retreated here would never dare to retreat again, otherwise it would be the guilt of losing the country, and the nature would be completely different!
Not long after, Carlos IV, the current Spanish king in the Madrid palace, received a report on the front line.
