Welcome to 19th-century Europe, where strength reigns supreme

The new generation of breech-loading artillery has shown great power, and the bombardment effect is far beyond everyone's imagination. If you stand nearby without wearing earplugs, you will soon become deaf.

Moltke was also deeply shocked by this scene. He did not expect that the power of industry and technology could achieve such a jaw-dropping effect.

During the three-hour bombardment, Prussia fired a total of about [-] artillery shells, basically plowing the entire fortress. Standing in the rear auditorium were reporters from various countries, including the United Kingdom, the United States, and Italy. Everyone came to watch this unprecedented grand performance.

Especially the American reporter, who happens to live in the south. When he saw this artillery array of the Prussian army, what the hell have he never seen before?

Thank you for being merciful, Mr. Pu. If this had gone down, Sherman, his burning for a week would not be as destructive as your shelling for three hours. If there is a war with Prussia in the future, New York State will be inferior. Change the name to New Prussia.

Just now everyone looked at it from a distance and it felt like watching fireworks. When the bombardment ended, some brave reporters took the opportunity to follow the Prussian army into the city of Sedan.

Reporters from other countries only felt blood and cruelty, and the air was filled with smoke and burnt smell. Either the French troops were killed by the bombing, or they were hiding under the ruins. You can't say that they could survive such bombardment. It's good luck.

Nima's is the manifestation of the Bodhisattva. Almost all the [-] French troops defending the outer city were wiped out. It is estimated that the number of survivors will not exceed [-]. In this case, it doesn't feel right to hide anywhere. Anyway, you can survive. Those who come down will return to their destiny, and their death will be considered a well-deserved death.

The situation in the city was not too good. Almost every place that could be bombed was bombed. It is estimated that more than half of the [-] people inside were killed. Of course, there were actually many French soldiers left, but their morale was almost completely destroyed.

The Prussian army began to charge, and several armies launched a general attack at the same time. They were overwhelming all the way. Basically, the French tricolor flag was no longer visible in the front positions, and all the Prussian black eagle flags were visible.

Now the French army saw the Prussian army as if they were seeing ghosts. Usually one Prussian soldier could chase dozens of French soldiers.

All the remaining French soldiers surrendered, and the pure white French flag was raised. After seeing this, Moltke immediately ordered to stop the attack. Prussia did not kill the surrendered generals, and it would be unlucky to do so. As August said, Moltke certainly did not dare to do it. This kind of thing.

After all, if you don't want others to surrender, then refuse their surrender. If you accept their surrender, of course you have to give others a way to survive.

Of course, the Prussian army must have been unable to stop at this time. Moltke immediately called the flying general Bittenfeldt over and asked him to suppress the murderous Prussian army.

Tina immediately rushed over and shouted, "Don't kill the surrendered French troops, stop them all!"

The war supervisory group behind also rushed over and tried to tie up the tiger. All the calm-minded people tried their best to stop it, and finally tied up the Prussian army.

The city of Sedan fell completely. Bittenfeldt and Tina led a Prussian squad of [-] people into a small village at the back of Sedan. It was the farthest from the battlefield and one of the few. A place to return more survivors.

I also saw a lot of French troops on the road, but they all put down their weapons and gathered on the roadside, watching the Prussian army walk into Sedan.

Bittenfeldt and Tina walked through the ruins and arrived at the village. Several French Guards stopped them. They were knights of the French Emperor and swore to defend Napoleon III to the death.

Bittenfeld shouted, "We are here to talk to His Highness Napoleon III. The war is over. Please get out of the way."

McMahon was sitting on a chair and said to the people outside, "Let them come in..."

Only then did Bittenfeldt and Tina come in. McMahon was seriously injured, probably by artillery splash, but fortunately he survived and saved his life.

Napoleon III was on the second floor. Tina asked Bittenfeldt to wait behind and went up to the second floor to chat with Napoleon III.

Tina has met Napoleon III countless times. She used to be extremely humble, but now she finally realized her wish.

At this time, Nazi's face was pale, and Tina was frightened by his corpse-like expression.

"Bismarck?" Napoleon III was not as arrogant as before.

"His Royal Highness Napoleon III, long time no see. I await your wishes."

"I have no more orders to issue." Napoleon III thought Tina wanted to humiliate him.

Tina gave Napoleon III more titles than his uncle: the savior of Austria, the honorary member of the Italian United Front, the arbiter of the United States, the defender of Mexico, the son-in-law of Spain, the founding father of Germany, and the leader of the Grand Iron Cross. Honorary winner, Prussia's wallet, Sedan Chariot God, chief director of the famous epic war blockbuster "The Franco-Prussian War", half-brother of the God of War in Tumu Castle, a master who made all the mistakes in multiple-choice questions, a killer of investment pools, and the French Empire Emperor Napoleon III.

Napoleon didn't even have that many titles. He was one of the few things Napoleon III was better than the Emperor.

"Then let's negotiate peace."

"It's too late. I will dedicate this saber to His Royal Highness King Pu. As for peace negotiations, my government will make a decision, and I have become a prisoner now."

……

In this round of battle, the French army suffered extremely heavy casualties, about [-] casualties, including wounded soldiers. Prussia captured about [-] French soldiers, and the rest were basically killed in battle. The captured French wounded It is basically difficult for soldiers to survive.

Unless fate is really hard, and the most important thing is that Napoleon III was captured.

August was on his way here when he learned that the Battle of Sedan broke out. In the afternoon after the battle, August looked at the scene, which was really a bit scary.

Tina handed a letter and a sword to August, "This is what Napoleon III asked me to bring you."

----

my friend:

Thank God, my fate has prevented me from spending time in the military. I can only hand this sword into the hands of Your Majesty.

Your friend Napoleon.

----

Although Auguste did not like Napoleon III, she did not want to humiliate the loser. After all, he and his soldiers did fight to the end, and it was normal for him to surrender in defeat.

August said, "First ordinary, then brilliant, and finally tragic, in any case, he is by no means mediocre."

Tina read the letter, and she was quite happy, because Auguste was called His Majesty by Napoleon III, and the French emperor had recognized the legal status of the Kaiser.

"Auguste, do you want to be crowned in Sedan? In front of all the French soldiers and the French emperor?"

"No, I don't have that kind of interest. It's not good if it's too humiliating. Let's talk about the coronation later."

……

McMahon signed the final instrument of surrender and the Battle of Sedan ended.

This mythical victory was the most glorious battle that Moltke had ever fought in his life. He became a god in one battle and won the highest honor. From a military perspective, no one could do it better than him.

If this was in the East, he would definitely be appointed as envoy Chijie, commander-in-chief of all the domestic and foreign military forces in Jiuzhou, holding a fake yellow ax, added as Taiwei, promoted to Sikong, recorded as a secretary, and paid homage to the Hussar General, Zhongshujian, Great Prime Minister, Great Sima, granted the title of Pu Gong, concurrently served as the third division of the Kaifu Yitong, was granted the title of Marquis of Wu, and added Jiuxi. The edict was not named, the sword was worn in the palace, the court was not followed, and the praise and worship were not named...

Then it's time to rebel or be sent away by pleasure, or retire to live out your old age.

Of course, that's an Eastern thing. There's no such thing in the West. What you overthrow a foolish monarch is a republic, not an empire. You have to overthrow the republic again to restore the monarchy.

But before that, you had to have that awesome ancestor, and Moltke didn't have that, so he didn't have any legitimacy and couldn't be the king.

August praised all the generals very much. Bittenfeldt was brave and brave, and Huo Qubing in the West was given the honor of "bravely championing the three armies" by August.

For the functional player in this battle, Rudolf von Rundstedt, the honor given by August was, "Invincible in a hundred battles."

For Moltke, the MVP and chief trader of this battle, August gave the highest honor of "unparalleled national hero".
