The battle in Orleans has lasted for three days and three nights, and there is no minute to rest. The French Loire Corps invested a full 250,000 troops in these three days and continued to attack forward.

In three days of bloody battle, ten pontoon bridges were blown up and then rebuilt, and then blown up and rebuilt. France suffered as many as 1,400 engineers who only repaired the pontoon bridge.

All sacrifices made sense. Three days later, three historic stone bridges in Orleans were officially conquered and protected by the French army. From this moment on, more troops could attack the north shore.

During the fierce battles of these three days, France fired more than 65,000 artillery shells, and the Prussian army on the opposite side also fired about 50,000 artillery shells. The fierce artillery fire from both sides almost destroyed a quarter of the city.

There are wreckage everywhere, smoke everywhere, and the black smoke soars into the sky makes it clear to people over ten kilometers away!

The Marseille Independent Division was disabled, and the 12,000 people went up and only 2,000 wounded people were brought back!

The Pyrenees Mountains reduced 80% of the personnel in one charge. Although it captured an entire block, only 85 people survived in the end!

The troops of the two brigades of Toulouse have been trapped in a heavy siege and continued to fight for twelve hours. The Second Division of Bordeaux and an independent brigade are attacking fiercely to rescue the surrounded warriors!

No unit retreated, no one retreated no matter how serious the casualties were!

Gan Bida stood on the river bank on the south bank, commanding the battle here for three days, without even an hour of rest. At this moment, he was exhausted and in a daze!

In this battle, only Gan Bida has the right to let the disabled troops retreat. Without his orders, even if the last soldiers and soldiers are fighting, they are not allowed to retreat!

"Report to the sir, the Second Infantry Brigade of Lyon has reduced its personnel by 70%, and it really can't stand it. I requested to replace the anti-repair..."

"Report to the Minister... The Mountain Brigade of the Alps can no longer hold on, the defense line is crumbling, and request support..."

There were constant messengers from various troops around Gan Bida, and they brought news of the bloody battles to each unit for help. They watched the young men in their hometown die like cutting leeks, and they were so heartbroken that they could not breathe!

But Gan Bida's heart was as hard as iron and stone at this moment. He shook his head firmly and pointed at the north. "Under the saint's heroic soul, there is no word for retreat... No one is allowed to retreat without hitting the last soldier!"

"Are you even a woman in France's good boys?"

"Retreat? We have all retreated from the north to Orleans, where can we retreat? Retreat to your doorstep and let the war burn in your hometown?"

"Who did not sacrifice? Look at what Orleans has been destroyed, and have the people here not sacrificed?"

"The northern part of France has fallen into an enemy-occupied area. Haven't the people there sacrificed?"

"If you are afraid of death, don't fight! I can directly remove your troops from the number, and you can get home!"

The stern words made the messengers blush. They stood attentively and turned their heads to the battlefield without saying a word. They pulled their necks and shouted!

"Fight to the last soldier! Fight to the death and never retreat! Fight to the death and never retreat!"

Amid the shouts of killing, two more divisions set out on the Loire River. The front line that stretched for more than ten kilometers from the city to the suburbs was full of gunfire and shouts of killing.

Gan Bida's eyes were covered with red bloodshot. He drank bitter coffee in big mouthfuls to refresh himself, and his mouth was endlessly nagging!

"Stand by, my children, please hold on. The balance of victory has tilted towards us. Haven't you noticed it?"

Gan Bida is surrounded by his direct descendants, but most of them are civil servants, so they have always been responsible for more civil servants in the rear.

They have a very keen observation like the Minister of the Interior, not about the battlefield, but about other aspects!

A middle-aged man wearing myopia glasses said, "Yes, a big reversal is about to happen. Haven't you noticed it? The range of Prussian artillery bombardment is shrinking, and our artillery positions are becoming safer..."

Another official took a big sip of bitter coffee, "Yes, I estimate that three days ago and now, the Prussians launched hand-to-hand combat with bayonets three times more frequently..."

"What does this mean? It means that there is a problem with the enemy's supply, and their strength has been squeezed to its limit!"

At the end of the strength! The French did not know this idiom, but they really felt that the Prussian Legion was already at the end of the strength.

In this war, the PLA army was already at its limit to Orleans. It was really impossible to fight southward. Although there were many troops, they had to be distributed evenly to the vast northern France. How many were there to Orleans?

The 100,000 army received no support within three days. Prince Karl finally assigned them a new Bavarian army. The 30,000 people were still on the road!

As for the war materials such as artillery shells, bullets, medicines, etc., there is a serious shortage!

The continuous harassment of French guerrillas has made railway transportation a long-standing problem. The first advantageous railway transportation efficiency has become garbage at this moment!

At the beginning of the battle, the Prussian artillery group on the north bank of the Loire River was still very sharp. As soon as the Napoleon artillery opened fire on the French side, the Krupp steel artillery counterattack was hit within ten minutes.

On the first day, the French army lost more than 300 cannons, more than 2,000 soldiers were killed and killed, and countless shells were damaged!

But the next day, people clearly felt that the Prussians were insufficient firepower, and Krupp's shells were concentrated in the charge of French soldiers, and there were few counterattacks against French artillery positions!

By the third day, Krupp's cannon sound was extremely rare. Only when the most intense neighborhoods were almost in the middle of the battle, there was a round of counterattack artillery fire!

Everything proves that the Prussian army can no longer be defeated. The arrogant Prussian soldiers were obviously destroyed in the three-day war of attrition!

The opposite of the Prussians was the French Legion, which became more and more brave as the battles became!

Although their individual combat capabilities are far inferior to those of the General Army, they are not as good as those of the General Army!

However, reinforcements from southern France were constantly replenishing. The train lanes were full of trains waiting to be unloaded, and new recruits from various southern provinces were overwhelming.

"No matter when the war comes, we will fight for national strength!" Gan Bida shouted like a red-eyed rabbit. "Maybe excellent tactics and beautiful strategic deception can make you take advantage of the moment!"

"But as long as I, France, persist, as long as our accumulated national strength is mobilized! We will be invincible!"
