Chapter 701: Night Attack on Trapp


Louise's words are not serious, whether it is the East or the West, filial piety is always the standard for measuring a person's morality, and even in Prussia, among all kinds of virtues, filial piety has always occupied the forefront.

And after William finished Louise's words, whether it was a gesture or a sincerity, William immediately knelt in front of Louise "Mother, it's not that I don't listen to you, it's that Ludwig did something wrong, although I was a little harsh to Ludwig before, but I never wanted to hurt Ludwig, but you see Ludwig is now he actually hired a killer to assassinate Du Li!

Is this still my brother?

Could it be that he didn't think about the consequences?

No, I'm sure he definitely thought about the consequences, but it's because he feels protected by you that he can do whatever he wants!

Mother, my child is gone, can't you understand my feelings!

” Looking at William, who was half-kneeling in front of him, for a while, Her Royal Highness the Queen Mother was speechless.

After a long time, Louise finally knew that she still could not resist her eldest son, and only heard her sigh and say: "William, I don't care about this matter, but you must treat your brother well in the future, you must know that if a family cannot be united, then how can it be said to do anything big, the reason why the Hohenzollern family can rise is precisely because of the family's courage and unity.

Look at your grandfather and your father, who were suspicious and jealous of their brothers, I don't want this virtue of the Hohenzollerns to disappear in your generation!

” Hearing Louise's words, William's heart calmed down a little, and he knew that at least now Louise was persuaded by himself "Mother, I remember your words, I will treat Ludwig well in the future, as long as he gives up some ideas that he shouldn't have, I will definitely reuse him!"

Although she knew in her heart that it was William comforting herself, Louise was willing to choose to believe it.

Louise then left William's office.

After Louise left, William took a glass of tea alone. ...............................

Trappben, southwest of Paris, is a small town that is an important artery from Paris to the western part of France, and between the east of Trapp and Paris is the Palace of Versailles, the royal court of the French royal family.

The long period of peace made the people of the town forget the horror of war, until when the Allied forces were approaching Paris, countless French people fled from Paris, and a considerable number of them chose to flee from Trapp to the western part of France, which had not yet been affected by the war.

The huge crowd of refugees instantly turned this peaceful town into a hustle and bustle.

Even because of the lack of organization, these refugees directly caused Trapp's originally small number of crime incidents to skyrocket.

Under these circumstances, the civil magistrate of the small town of Trapp stepped in to organize a militia of 500 men to maintain order in the town and punish the unscrupulous refugees.

After the coalition troops arrived at the city of Paris and fought fiercely, the town was also under martial law under the orders of the superiors, but a long time passed.

There were no enemies in the town, which also made the militia members of the town, who were originally scared, a little more reassured.

But today was different from usual, and just as the town's sentry was on duty at the watchtower as usual, he suddenly noticed a large amount of smoke and dust rising from the hills west of Trapp, and even some cavalry in military uniforms could be seen through binoculars.

The discovery immediately turned the town into an instant uproar, and the militia immediately climbed atop the rudimentary walls made of wood, which might be more appropriately called fences.

Not for a while.

A small group of cavalry appeared outside the rudimentary walls of Trapp.

"We are the Fourth French Legion led by the Prince of Condé!

His Royal Highness the Prince has an order, and Trapp immediately prepares to provide military rations and supplies for the army, otherwise it will be dealt with by military law!

” The civil magistrate of Trapp, who was standing at the head of the city, breathed a sigh of relief after learning that it was the Fourth Legion of the French royal family, and then saw that his originally somewhat panicked cheeks immediately changed to a different expression.

"Please also ask the messenger to reply immediately to His Royal Highness the Prince of Condé, Trapp will definitely be ready to welcome His Royal Highness and all the warriors of the kingdom before the arrival of the army!"

After a satisfactory recovery, the cavalry did not ask to enter the city.

Instead, he immediately turned and ran towards the way he came.

Unlike the other legions, the Fourth Legion of the French Army had always been stationed in the northwest, where the Bourbons were most fanatical, and this region had always been the best source of French troops.

And relatively.

The Bourbon royal family never treated the Fourth Legion badly, and even when the country's finances were at its most difficult, Louis XVI took care of the Fourth Legion, and in this case.

The Fourth Legion, which devoted all its energy to training, was definitely one of the most elite armies in the Kingdom of France.

The Fourth Army has a full strength of 23,000 men, and this army has 5,000 cavalry and 3,000 artillery, and more than 70 heavy caliber artillery.

If this were not the case, Louis XVI would not have placed the last hope of the Bourbon royal family on this army, and asked the Prince of Condé to escort his son, Crown Prince Charles, to the northwest in order to make a comeback.

After receiving the reply from the herald, Prince Condé, who was riding on the back of a maroon war horse, said in high spirits: "It seems that Trapp is still loyal to the royal family, which is very good, and when we enter Trapp, I will reward that civil affairs officer!"

As he spoke, Prince Condé asked one of the officers beside him: "Did the reconnaissance cavalry in front report back, and did you find any traces of the enemy?"

"Your Royal Highness, we haven't found any trace of the enemy yet, but there are only two days left to get from here to Paris, and I think no matter how bold the enemy is, he won't want to attack us here!"

"That's right, Your Royal Highness, the soldiers have reminded you before, but now fortunately, they are about to rush to Paris, do you think you want the soldiers to have a good rest tonight?"

Just after the officer had finished speaking.

A general who was on the other side of Prince Condé also spoke immediately.

After hearing the words of the latter officer, the Prince of Condé obviously hesitated, it was true that it only took six hours to set off from Trapp to Versailles, and it only took half a day to travel from Versailles to Paris, so that two days would be able to reach Paris anyway.

"Your Royal Highness, soldiers must always be on guard along the way.

The mental pressure is very high, I think it is better to let them rest for a day today, otherwise when they arrive in Paris the day after tomorrow, I am afraid that the soldiers will not be able to catch up with the rest!

” At this time, a confidant of the Prince of Condé said beside the Prince of Condé.

Prince Condé had previously slowed down the new army, on the one hand, because of his dissatisfaction with Napoleon.

On the other hand, it was also to prevent the coalition from sending a partial division to raid this new force in Paris.

Prince Condé was not a fool, he was a veteran of many wars, and his dissatisfaction with Napoleon did not make him leave the whole country aside.

"Well, after arriving at Trapp, let the soldiers rest today, but give the order to go down and forbid anyone to burn and kill.

Otherwise military law engages!

” As he spoke, the corners of Prince Kongdai's eyebrows rose and he said with a somewhat murderous look.

Prince Condé is not only the right-hand man of the Bourbon royal family in France, but also one of the leaders of the French army in the past dynasties.

For Prince Condor, who had been educated since childhood, when he could talk and walk, he began to receive education in war and military affairs.

Condé certainly knew what the generals were asking for to enter Trapp, even though the army was loyal to the crown.

But this army is also composed of people one by one, and as long as it is a person, there will definitely be **.

These generals undoubtedly wanted to enter Trapp for indulgence, but in the eyes of Prince Condé, this was absolutely not allowed.

On the one hand, indulging the soldiers would cause the destruction of Trapp, and for the Bourbons, it would lose the hearts of the people.

On the other hand, the indulgence of soldiers on the eve of the Great War was never bad and not good.

"I'll ask the officials in Trapp to arrange for some military prostitutes to treat the army, and in the meantime you can drink tonight, but you must not cause damage in Trapp!

Fort Rains, I'll leave this matter to you.

Anyone who dares to violate military law in Trapp will be executed by military law, and it will never be tolerated!

” "No!"

Condé gave the task of supervising military discipline to a cold-faced officer who was several horses away from him, and heard that Prince Condé had given Fort Lance the task of supervising military discipline.

The officer, who had some bad thoughts in his heart, had to put aside the delusions in his heart.

This Fort Rains is not an ordinary person, in the Fourth Legion, Fort Rains has always had the title of "cold-faced judge", and even if he could, the entire Fourth Legion except for those military judges who were brought out by Fort Lance who were just like him, I am afraid that no one would want to stay with him.

That night, in addition to the 8,000 soldiers stationed in Trapp, Condé and 15,000 French soldiers entered Trapp.

Fortunately, as many French began to flee, nearly half of the residents of Trapp also fled, so that many houses were vacant, plus some restaurants and other things, the army finally settled in the city of Trapp.

After settling the soldiers, the whole Trapp immediately burst into activity, and all of them, except for the hapless ones on duty, rushed to the taverns, brothels and other entertainment places in the city with their salaries in recent months.

In this way, the women in Trapp who have lost their footing will be delighted, knowing that these soldiers are not only good at that aspect, but also quite generous in giving money.

But it is a sin to enjoy too much of the best things, and no, in less than two hours, not a single woman in the whole of Trapp is happy, even though their prices are now more than five times higher than they were before the GIs entered Trapp.

You must know that although Trapp is close to Paris, the population of the whole town is only more than 10,000, and now there are less than 8,000 people left, and in this case, the total number of women in the whole Trapp is only about 100.

More than 100 women who have lost their footing, which may sound like a lot, but in fact it is not a lot at all, at least after more than 20,000 French soldiers have entered the city.

These women immediately became in demand, even if they were old and decrepit, they were not afraid of not having a business.

This also made some women who were no longer young and lost their footing almost shed tears of happiness because they enjoyed the taste of being sought after again.

Originally, because of the shortage of women who had lost their footing, some of the French soldiers who let go set ill-willed eyes on the good families in Trapp, but when some gendarmes with club-like epaulettes crippled a few soldiers who had attempted evil, the rest did not take any action.

That evening, at the residence of the civil magistrate in the city of Trapp.

In order to welcome the arrival of Prince Condé, the civil affairs official also did his best to create the best dinner party so far.

Although he could not be as extravagant as before, he was able to make such a banquet in such a time of war, and the Prince of Condé also understood that it was not easy for this civil official.

Therefore, for this civil official, the Prince of Condé can be said to be full of praise at the banquet.

After the banquet, there was a small dance party.

Just when there was a bustle in Trapp, just outside Trapp.

Several soldiers in camouflage appeared in the grass outside the city.

"Are you sure the enemy has entered Trapp?"

"Captain, it's absolutely true, our brothers followed them not far during the day, watching most of the French troops march into Trapp, and there are less than 10,000 troops in the French barracks outside the city."

The sound of Soso's voice sounded in the grass, and if you could see through the night, the faces were painted with paint.

The soldiers in camouflage were Prussians.

"Well, the three of you stay here and continue to monitor, if you find something wrong, immediately send a signal, and I and the others will go back first and report the news to the general!"

After saying this, the Prussian officer, who was called the captain, immediately quietly left the grass with a soldier. ...................................

After deliberation with the allied generals, Ferdinand the Younger finally decided to attack the French army.

Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net

You must know that there are more than 20,000 French troops who come to help, and according to intelligence, they can be called elite.

Ferdinand the Younger had no doubts about Napoleon's abilities.

Once Napoleon gets more than 20,000 new troops, I am afraid that this capable French general will make the coalition army ruthlessly planted.

So in this situation, Ferdinand the Younger finally decided to send an army to attack this French army.

The armies sent by Ferdinand the Younger to attack the French were none other than the Prussian Seventh and Fourteenth Divisions, as well as the First Reich Division, as well as a British division.

Although the total strength was less than 30,000, Ferdinand Jr. believed that the purpose of this army was to attack the French reinforcements rather than completely annihilate them, so such a force should be enough.

In addition, Ferdinand Jr. had to guard against the enemy in Paris going out to support this French army, so he had to leave enough troops to resist the army in Paris, in which case he could send an army of more than 20,000 people.

Ferdinand Jr. has already done his best.

The commander of this coalition detachment was none other than the commander of the 7th Division, Rumorin.

For Rumorein, this was the first time he commanded so many troops to fight, after all, although the 7th Division was also an old division, because Rumorin did not have enough influence in the Prussian leadership.

Naturally, he has never been appointed to take charge of himself.

In the Prussian army, Rumolin and Lugake, the commander of the 6th Division, were regarded as village parties, after all, they were both from the Pomeranian region, but although these two were both division commanders, they never entered the core of the Prussian army's upper echelons.

Right now is an opportunity for Rumorem to prove himself.

And acting as Rumorein's deputy was Duke Andrew.

It stands to reason that this army should be commanded by Duke Andrew, after all, Duke Andrew's status in the coalition army is second only to Ferdinand Jr., and more importantly, Duke Andrew's identity is the son of the King of England and His Royal Highness the Duke of England.

But it is a pity that in this army, the British army is only 6,000 men, and the remaining 18,000 people are all Prussians, except for one of the first divisions of the Empire, and even the first division of the Empire is also oriented towards Prussia.

In this case, even if Duke Andrew no longer wanted him, he would not be able to take the position of commander at all.

Of course, there is another reason for this, that is, the coalition generals are worried about Duke Andrew's ability, you must know that this duke's military ability is not outstanding at all from the previous battles, in this case, how can little Ferdinand rest assured that such an important task will be entrusted to Duke Andrew.

After receiving the report from the scouts, Rumolin immediately said to the generals who gathered around him: "Enemy, this is an opportunity for us to station most of the army inside the city, in my opinion, since the enemy has also stationed troops outside the city, then our immediate target is the enemy's army stationed outside Trapp, and as for the enemy in Trapp, we only need to block them in the city!"
