The only horses were those carrying cannons.

These days, they hid in the trenches and endured the explosions of artillery shells above.

They are all veterans and they are not worried about their positions.

This position was built eight hundred years ago, and bastions were added in the era when muskets were rampant.

The so-called bastion is to build an earth slope or stone slope outside the city.

When soldiers attack, they need to attack from their backs. In this way, their heads and upper bodies must be exposed.

The French soldiers stayed in the bunker and could easily shoot the German soldiers who rushed out rashly.

There is such a bastion on the edge of the Moselle River. It overlooks both sides of the Moselle River and controls the upper and lower reaches of the Moselle River, a full two kilometers long section.

The bastion not only had Maxim machine guns, but also a mortar platoon, responsible for suppressing firepower against the German troops.

In the past few days, when the German troops crossed the river, they were shot by the defenders on the bastion.

It was also the mortar plus Maxim model that allowed the German army to attack for ten days, but still failed to achieve success.

Of course, as the defensive bastion, it naturally also received heavy attention from German artillery fire.

The beautiful arrow stacks on the walls of the castle have disappeared. The entire city wall is as jagged as an old lady’s teeth!

Cannonballs exploded on the castle walls one after another. Even the huge bluestone could not withstand such indiscriminate bombing.

Who knows how long the Germans, who are crazy and have abundant artillery shells, will continue to bombard us.

During the last war, the two sides had artillery attacks on each other for a week.

During that week, the French and British troops fired 1.9 million artillery shells.

The number of artillery shells fired by the German army was one and a half times that of the British and French allied forces!

It was precisely because of this that Germany finally surrendered due to financial collapse.

It is hard to imagine that in a country like Germany, France only crippled others, warned them to humbly apologize, and reduced its army to only 100,000 people.

Fortunately, Frederick and Bismarck had a good idea.

Germany's 100,000-strong army became an officer training corps of 100,000 people. There were few soldiers here, all of them were officers.

When the French proposed to ally with Prussia and go to Eastern Europe to fight against the Ming Dynasty.

It only took Prussia a few months to expand the 100,000 officer training regiment into a Prussian army with one million troops.

"Hey, how is the front line? Have the Germans attacked?" Ney's call finally reached the front line.

"Marshal, the German artillery shells are hitting very hard. Listen, several artillery shells are falling almost every minute."

"How are the casualties?" Ney heard the rumble of gunfire coming from the receiver, and felt extremely anxious.

He knew that the troops could not be mobilized easily at this time. Otherwise, many people would be taken away by the artillery fire before the real battle started.

"Your Excellency, Marshal, our soldiers are all hiding in bunkers. The casualties caused by the German shelling are very small. Except for the casualties of a few observation posts in front, there are no greater casualties."

"As long as there are no casualties! I will send people to support you!" Ney felt relieved after hearing the news from the front that there were not many casualties and the soldiers had taken shelter in bunkers.

I have managed to withstand it here, but the news coming from my left and right wings is not good.

Yesterday, I lost a lot of positions on my left and right wings. The two sides were already intertwined and intertwined.

If the left and right wings cannot withstand it, your main position will probably be surrounded.

When she thinks about the left and right wings, Ney wants to jump up and scold her.

Francois and Alexander were timid when they were in Russia. On the battlefield, whenever they saw Ming tanks, they would immediately collapse.

However, precisely because they ran faster, their troops suffered less casualties. Unlike Ney's First Army, the battle losses had exceeded 30% before returning to France.

It had only been a month since I returned home, but my troops had not been replenished. Now I was dragged to the Metz position to fight the Germans.

The two people on the left and right seemed to have escaped from their addiction in Russia. If they couldn't defeat the Ming Dynasty, could they also defeat the Germans?

After thinking for a long time, Ney called the artillery position again.

"Hello, I'm Marshal Ney.

Our artillery positions need to be hidden, and we are not allowed to fire back without my order. Do you understand?"

Ney yelled into the microphone!

The French army did not engage in an artillery battle with the German army because the French army was running out of ammunition.

During the great retreat from Russia, not only a lot of baggage was lost, but also the Sharmas who were pulling the baggage.
