Steel Dynasty - Chapter 1192

[Chapter 1179 Henry’s decision]

“What? Prussia detained the British Prime Minister and Queen Victoria?”

Vienna, Tang Wenjie asked in surprise.

“Indeed, our news is not wrong. Ferrie II has lost his mind.” Wang Xuan said. Now that the secret guards have spies in various European countries, the traces of Murphy and Victoria will not escape the empire’s sight.

Tang Wenjie nodded after hearing this, “This just shows that Felix II’s confidence has begun to waver.” After pondering for a while, he said: “Britain, Spain, and Portugal have all been defeated. Now it is time to end France and Prussia.”

Wang Xuan also nodded in agreement.

…

Lyon.

Ye Qingyun and Lei Ming gave each other a high-five. After Spain and Portugal declared their defeat, he immediately led his soldiers to attack southern France.

At this time, France hoarded heavy troops in the direction of Ye Qingyun’s attack. They did not expect that Spain and Portugal would fail so quickly.

Facing the empire’s attack, the weak southern defense line was easily broken through, and then he and Ye Qingyun commanded their troops here.

The two armies merged, and in Lyon they gathered 300,000 troops, including 100,000 imperial troops and 200,000 Austrian and Hungarian troops.

Such a strong force made Ye Qingyun and Lei Ming determined to launch a general attack on France and completely defeat France.

“Gather all the rocket launchers, howitzers, and mortars to hit me hard.” Looking at the Lyon defense line built by France, Ye Qingyun gave the order.

Then he ordered all the tanks to be concentrated. Now their total number of tanks reached more than 300. Using these war monsters, they could easily tear apart the defense line in front of them.

French side.

Henry was looking at the empire’s position with a solemn face.

After the loss of the southern front, he could no longer sit still in Paris. Lyon was the strongest line of defense in France. If this line of defense was destroyed, the hinterland of France would be opened to the empire.

It was only when he came to the front line that he began to understand the despair of the French soldiers. The gap in this war was really too great.

The empire has advanced and excellent weapons, but they look like a bunch of beggars in comparison.

But even so, he could not surrender, because he knew that once he surrendered, he would face the judgment of the empire.

An empire that won the war would never tolerate a traitor continuing to lead France.

Just as he was thinking about it, a whistling sound suddenly came from the sky. He looked up and his face suddenly turned pale.

Before he could react, he was suddenly thrown to the ground by an officer on the front line, and then he heard only explosions as dense as raindrops falling to the ground.

“Boom, boom, boom…”

The ground seemed to be shaking, and smoke and dust fell into the trench and sprinkled on him.

When the explosions stopped, Henry struggled to free himself from the officer’s body, only to find that the officer was dead.

But before he could close his eyes for the officer, another round of shelling came, and Henry hid in the trench again.

After this round of bombardment, the imperial bombardment continued for another half an hour. When all the explosions stopped, Henry stood up with difficulty.

The ferocious firepower of the Empire made him feel scared for the first time, but when he saw Austrian, Hungarian and Imperial soldiers approaching their positions under the cover of hundreds of tanks, Henry closed his eyes in despair.

At this time, he finally realized his arrogance. In fact, he would not have been able to win the French Civil War without the weapons and military guidance of the empire.

He thought he had learned a lot about the Empire’s skills, but now the Empire taught him a hard lesson with facts.

“Rumble…”

Hundreds of tanks were driving in a straight line, and the tide of the Three Kingdoms Allied Forces poured into the French position.

“Da da da…”

While the soldiers were charging, the imperial soldiers quickly seized advantageous positions to build machine gun positions, and hundreds of machine guns fired wildly at the French positions.

The French soldiers suffered heavy casualties under the fierce firepower of the empire, but Henry’s arrival greatly improved the morale of the French army.

Despite heavy losses, they still did not choose to retreat. All the soldiers on the front line died, and the French reserve soldiers immediately made up for it.

On their own position, Ye Qingyun and Lei Ming were observing the battlefield. Although there were 300,000 troops hoarded here, in fact, it was impossible to charge all the troops in one charge. After all, sometimes the battlefield area was not large.

So he sent out 30,000 people for this charge.

“These French soldiers are indeed better than Spanish and Portuguese soldiers.” Lei Ming said.

Ye Qingyun looked serious. For him, any war should not be taken lightly. He said: “Spain and Portugal are small countries after all, and most small countries are just grassroots. If the east wind is strong, they will fall with the east wind, and if the west wind is strong, they will fall with the west wind. , and because the harm is small, big countries will generally tolerate this kind of speculation, but big countries are different. War between big countries is a battle of life and death. Once the war is lost, everything will be lost. The national destiny will be shattered, and even face being dismembered. The risk is as evidenced by Britain’s fate.”

“That’s true. It seems that it will take some time to break into Paris. Even if they lose Lyon, they will probably continue to resist,” Lei Ming said.

At this time, Austrian and Hungarian soldiers had entered the trenches and fought with the French soldiers. These soldiers were equipped with grenades provided by the Empire.

Entering the trenches, they made full use of the weapons provided by the empire. Grenades were thrown everywhere, and many French soldiers fell down before they could even shoot.

The imperial soldiers quickly seized the French trenches. They set up machine guns in the trenches and fired at the rushing French reserve soldiers.

Under strong firepower, Hungarian and Austrian soldiers quickly occupied the French trench positions.

At this point they began shooting at the French soldiers behind the trench.

Henry withdrew to the rear after the imperial attack. It was obvious that numbers could no longer determine victory in the war.

Continuing to stick to the Lyon defense line will only increase casualties. This war with great disparity in strength made him understand that he could no longer win in frontal combat.

Therefore, after thinking about it, he decided to break up the French army into pieces and refuse to defend the cities one by one.

At the same time, he will mobilize all French people to use all means to resist the Vienna Entente and continue to advance towards Paris.

The French troops who received the order no longer resisted in vain, and they all chose to retreat.

Ye Qingyun and Lei Ming noticed that the French army was withdrawing in an orderly manner. This was not the behavior of a defeated army.

Because a truly defeated army will be very scattered when it collapses.

Looking at each other, Ye Qingyun and Lei Ming ordered the pursuit. No matter what Henry did, he would take the opportunity to annihilate the effective forces of France. This is the foundation of France. Without men who can go to the battlefield, France’s decline will be inevitable.
