Chapter 689: Blowing Up the Water Gate


"Horn, I have carte blanche to entrust you with an investigation into this matter, and all those people who participated in the banquet will be arrested for me!

And all those who have anything to do with the coachman are also arrested by me!

” William listened to what Hornd said about the assassination and said to Horn, and after William finished speaking, Horn immediately responded: "Your Majesty, the investigation of the murderer has been launched, and all the people who participated in the banquet that day have been gathered together for supervision, but when we checked according to the list, we found that the murderer of His Royal Highness Du Li that day was not on the list, which also means that the murderer was not the attendant of the day, and may have been disguised.

And we found something about the groom, but according to the information from the investigation, this groom is a Dutch who fled from the Netherlands to Parettz when the French attacked the Netherlands!

” Hornder's words made William very dissatisfied "You mean, after investigation, there are no clues?"

"Not really, according to our investigation, this groom has a niece, but this niece married a local resident of Parets five years ago, and the groom came to join his niece!"

"Well, since I've entrusted this matter to you, then I don't care about it, what you need to do is to find the murderer for me!

I give you the greatest right, even if it involves members of the royal family, I will allow you to conduct a house arrest investigation!

” After William finished speaking, he closed his eyes and lay down in his chair to rest, his spirit had reached a limit. ...........................................

The fighting outside Paris was already raging.

Both the Allied soldiers and the French defending the city suffered considerable casualties, with hundreds of Allied soldiers climbing the wall.

But then he was driven down.

Standing not far from the city walls, little Ferdinand's face was a little ugly, you must know that the battle lasted for two days, not counting the part of the British, the Prussians paid more than two thousand casualties, although in them there were less than a thousand casualties.

Just when the attack and defense of Paris were in full swing, Duke Andrew came to the side of Ferdinand Jr "Your Excellency Marshal, preparations are made on the Seine.

We are ready to attack at any time, and we are waiting for your orders now!

’ Hearing Duke Andrew's words, little Ferdinand waved his fist fiercely and shouted: "Duke Andrew, you're doing a great job!

It's time for us to give those French people a taste of it!

” After Ferdinand the Younger had finished speaking, he was led by Duke Andrew to the Seine "Duke Andrew, how many people did we send this time?"

"Your Excellency Marshal, the forces used this time to attack the water gate of the Seine.

I threw in 2,000 men, all of whom were from Great Britain, and they were all very good at the water, and even if we failed, these soldiers would be able to return even if they swam across!

” Duke Andrew said proudly to little Ferdinand.

Marshal Ferdinand Jr. laughed when he heard Duke Andrew's words, and then instructed Duke Andrew to give the order to attack.

I saw that Duke Andrew suddenly conjured a red flag in his hand.

Then he swung forward, and at the moment when Duke Andrew waved his flag, eleven fishing boats rushed towards the Paris Gate on the Seine like arrows.

The boats were loaded with gunpowder, and as they rushed towards the water gate, the French defenders on the water gate roared.

"What people!

Stop the ship for inspection now!

Otherwise.

We will attack as an enemy!

” But these French shouts were like playing a harp to a cow and there was no response at all.

The French, who were guarding the water gate, immediately pulled the bolt of their guns and began to reload their ammunition.

"Again, warn again, the fishing boats on the opposite side, stop moving immediately, or we will attack!"

After another warning, and seeing that the fishing boats still did not stop advancing, the French defenders on the watergate, under the orders of the commander, began to aim at the fishing boats and opened fire.

The bows of the fishing boats were all blocked with thick planks, and the French firing did not have much effect.

"Don't stop, rush over to me immediately!"

The British commander who commanded the fishing boats stood on the bow and shouted loudly, and after the British commander finished yelling, all the fishing boats sped up.

The French defenders on the Watergate fired three rounds, but the shooting did not have much effect, and none of the eleven fishing boats were sunk.

After a while, the boats were under the water gate.

"Ignition, jump ship!"

After a loud roar, the British commander personally took the torch from the soldier next to him and threw it into the cabin, after throwing it, the commander immediately jumped into the water.

Eleven fishing boats all crowded under the water gate, and after a while, the fishing boats began to catch fire, and in less than a minute, explosions began to sound under the water gate.

The eleven explosions in a row alarmed the entire vicinity of the Water Gate, and all the French soldiers were stunned, only to see that in the continuous explosions, the impact of the huge explosion at the Seine Gate in Paris began to collapse.

"Get out of here, the water gate is going to collapse!"

A French officer stood above the water gate and shouted, and when he finished yelling, the French soldiers ran away like frightened birds.

In half an hour's effort, the water gate on the Seine River had all been blown up, and the coalition transport ships behind the eleven fishing boats immediately began to speed up after seeing the water gate collapsed, and when all the iron bars of the water gate were blown up, these transport ships also marched to the water gate.

"Quick, rush in one breath, and let those French people see how powerful we are!"

A British commander stood on the bow of a transport ship and shouted.

More than a dozen transport ships carrying more than a thousand coalition soldiers rushed into the watergate.

"Fire!"

The commanders of the French batteries on both sides of the Seine shouted as soon as the Allied transport ships burst into the water gate.

Inside the Water Gate.

In total, there were three batteries in Paris, and on these batteries there were a total of twenty guns.

The explosion at the Water Gate attracted the attention of the three batteries.

After noticing that the enemy's transports had entered the Seine waterways in Paris, the three batteries, under the orders of the commander, aimed at the enemy's transports and began to set fire.

"Don't stop, speed up, all ships, immediately make an S-type evasion!"

The words of the British commander seemed quite professional, and it was obvious that this British commander had been in the British Royal Navy, otherwise, he would not have said such words as S-shaped evasion.

Really.

At the command of the commander, the transports began to swing their hulls, and although they could not effectively avoid all the shells, and the coalition transports suffered some casualties, most of the transports and the soldiers on board did not suffer much damage.

The engagements that took place on the Seine soon also attracted the attention of Napoleon.

"Your Excellency Marshal, there was an engagement on the Seine, in which the enemy blew down the water gate on the Seine with gunpowder.

Now the enemy's transports have broken through into the city of Paris!

” Hearing the words of the staff officer, Napoleon's face suddenly became serious.

"Immediately send nearby troops to support, and immediately send people to the levee to wait for my order, as soon as my order is given, then immediately dig up the levee for me, release the water and drown those British dogs!"

Napoleon's words were full of murder.

And hearing Napoleon's order, the staff officer's face suddenly straightened and he said: "Yes, Your Excellency, Marshal!"

The staff officer immediately left the office, and Napoleon straightened his hat. .................................................

Brankoff led an army of 40,000 men day and night to Zelenograd, where Rumyantsev's headquarters was located, under the telescope.

Brankoff has already taken the whole of Zelenograd into his eyes.

"Your Excellency, the enemy is still unaware of our whereabouts.

Our troops could have arrived in Zelenograd before the enemy found out, and our artillery was ready to absolutely collapse the walls before the enemy reacted!

” Hearing his subordinates' answers, a satisfied smile appeared on Brankoff's face, and looking at Zelenograd in the telescope, a sneer appeared on the corner of Brankoff's mouth.

"Deliver my orders, get me ready immediately, and in a quarter of an hour launch the assault on Zelenograd!"

"Yes!"

After answering the order, his officers left the herald.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Brankoff's 40,000 troops were ready, and then when Brankoff's heralds arrived in the phalanx, the main force of 40,000 rebels rushed towards Zelenograd in a neat formation.

"Enemy attack!"

When the rebels were fully in sight of the defenders of Zelenograd, the defenders roared loudly as if they had just woken up from a dream.

And just when the defenders had just discovered the rebels, in the city headquarters, Rumyantsev had just woken up leisurely.

"What's going on!"

The sound of the sirens in the city immediately alarmed Rumyantsev, the old marshal was already terminally ill on the surface, and his whole face was already pale and imhuman.

"Immediately bring me Toskov!

..................

Wait, don't look for Toskov, you tell him what I mean, immediately gather forces for me to hold Zelenograd, and if the enemy has a large number of troops, then immediately send troops back to help, even if the situation is unfavorable, we can make the enemy into sandwich biscuits!

” Rumyantsev said with a pale face lying on the boat.

Before, Rumyantsev wanted to call Toskov to his side, but Rumyantsev thought in his heart, after all, now it is Toskov who is actually commanding the army, if he is pointing fingers at the moment, it will undoubtedly be a bit of a problem, and Rumyantsev is seriously ill after all, and the actual command of the army is still in Toskov's hands.
