Chapter 20 Beheading and Incendiary - Bomb (... ?

Soon, a general proposed to persuade the defenders to surrender, but was immediately rejected by Chief of Staff Mondale. As early as a few days ago, on January 24, Desai tried to try it. Marshal Rana had secretly given him the opportunity to his former adjutant. Colonel Desai sent Major Delney, and with the assistance of a assistant of Dr. Kava, he brought Marshal Rana's handwritten letter to his enemy's position safely, and met the highest commander of Zaragoza, General Parafos, in the city hall.

The ending was self-evident. The Spanish general flatly refused to surrender to the French Marshal and showed extreme contempt for the French army in his reply. Parafos said to Marshal Rana: "Marrior, I know very well the strength of the army surrounding me. As long as you have more than 10 times the strength, you can force me to surrender. This city will add its own honor with a ruin. The general who defends this city is fearless and he will never surrender!"

Since the persuasion of surrender was not enough, we had to continue the attack. Therefore, the generals on the front line asked for reinforcements and artillery support to their troops, with the reasons that Spain resisted fiercely, their own casualties were too high, and they could not move forward, etc. The generals' unrelenting noises made Mondale unable to continue his voice.

"Enough, gentlemen! Please remember that you are the elites of the empire, not the housewife of the vegetable market." Marshal Rana, who looked unhappy, immediately stopped the complaints of his subordinates and transferred the topic to the Chief of Staff, "General Mondell, please continue."

According to the combat plan re-planned by the General Staff of the Front Army, starting from the 28th, that is, tomorrow, each division and brigade will launch a general attack from four directions, southeast, west and north. The specific orders are as follows...

Unlike the adjutant of the staff, Colonel Desay began to think about scattering again. In his memory of his previous life, the city of Zaragoza happened to fall on February 20. After these days, should I apply to return to Paris? Because the war is too dangerous, this is even more so in Spain. Desay is not sure how many times the pocket watch with magical functions can protect himself. Not to mention a small colonel, it is not uncommon for marshals to die in the war. Just like Marshal Rana not far away, it seems that he died on the battlefield when he was expeditioning with Emperor Napoleon to Austria this year.

"It's better to find a suitable reason to convince Marshal Rana not to leave Vienna at that time. Damn it, what should I say?" A battle between heaven and man broke out in Desai's mind.

When he couldn't think of the perfect answer, he lowered his head, but found a small eye looking at him. At first glance, Desai almost jumped up in surprise and calmed down, and then he realized that it was a Gaul chicken. Oh, Marshal Rana's patron saint, the auspicious bird of the entire legion, and his former "self" also acted as its breeder.

The bright feathers on the auspicious bird were covered with dust, and the red cockscomb was cracked and the mouth was cracked. It seemed that it had fought with someone, and was a little depressed. Only the drooping little head was looking at Desai angrily, as if complaining that his servant was sure to leave without saying goodbye and did not come to serve it for many days.

Desai was speechless. He remembered that there were still a few handfuls of wheat grains in his pocket, which were specially found by Lieutenant Charles. When the wheat grains were sown under the auspicious bird, the latter began to raise his head high, still disdainful, and continued to stare at his former servant.

Desai couldn't help but sigh, then took out a white handkerchief from his pocket, leaned down, and carefully wiped the dust of the cockscomb and feathers of the bird. Of course, the movement should be very light and gentle, just like stroking the girl's skin. If the technique is slightly heavier and makes the bird unhappy, it will immediately turn its head and don't mind using its hardest chicken beak to intimidate the servants who are not serving.

The eyes of several adjutants beside him were also attracted. He looked at the proud rooster who was waiting for Colonel Desai with interest. A major who felt satisfied also told Desai a joke: a few days ago, there was a good adjutant who was said to want to please the patron saint of the Marshal. He rushed from a nearby farmhouse, but the group of Spanish hens ran away by Gaul roosters, causing mess. Of course, the captain who was kindly willing to do bad things also began to be unlucky. Every morning, when he woke up, he would find that there were some chicken poop on his neat military uniform, which was disgusting. The captain, who wanted to cry but had no tears, had to complain that there was no way to apply and "sent" himself to the front line.

Desai suppressed his smile because he found that the generals were beginning to pay attention to him, let alone Marshal Rana who had been paying attention to him. After serving the auspicious birds with all his heart and strength and watching the guys who had eaten and drunk left in a big manner, Desai finally breathed a sigh of relief, returned to his seat, and listened seriously to the Chief of Staff's combat plan.

"...To sum up, our army must capture Zaragoza City 20 days ago and live up to the trust of His Majesty the Emperor!" Chief of Staff Mondell finally ended his long speech with ups and downs.

"Now, generals, what are your opinions or suggestions?" Marshal Rana continued.

Everyone shook their heads and calculated that the Marshal and the Chief of Staff had formulated a combat plan, and we followed the implementation. We would like to capture the city as soon as possible and leave this ghost place as soon as possible.

"Where are the others?" the marshal continued to ask, his eyes also turned to the lieutenants behind the general, including Desai.

Desai knew it was his turn to play, so he stood up and stood up, faced the front, and returned loudly: "Report to the marshal, Desai requests to speak!"

After Marshal Rana nodded, Desai continued, "I think General Mondell's plan is very detailed. The Spaniards will definitely be beaten by us and will be defeated."

"Shut up, colonel! Please go straight to the topic. After being the leader for a few days, I have even gained the skill of flattering." Mondell's interruption caused everyone present to burst into laughter.

Desai's emotions were not affected, and he still said with a serious expression: "In the face of our powerful offensive, the Spaniards have long been out of place, and the established troops no longer exist. Now we are facing a group of crazy bandits, including nobles, peasants, priests, women, old men, and even children. Under the instigation of the Military Commission led by Parafos, they became bloodthirsty beasts and madmen who were bloodthirsty as priests as bloodthirsty beasts and madmen. Although I have no doubt at all, we can finally win in the group of tireless wild **** who are not afraid of death and tireless wild ****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

So, I have a small suggestion or addition, while cooperating with the three armies to encircle and suppress the Spaniards on all sides, can we send a strong team of about 200 people to infiltrate the enemy positions and quickly occupy the city hall, striving to capture the senior generals of the Zaragoza defenders, especially the General Parafos; if possible, we will also take down Notre Dame Cathedral west of the city hall, and raise the tricolor flag on the top of the towers of the two buildings to destroy the command center and spiritual beliefs of the beasts."

Colonel Desai's bold suggestion, even if the audience was in an uproar, the generals obviously did not believe in this genius and stupid sneak attack plan and attacked Desai one after another.

"Col. How did your soldier in the strengthening company pass through the enemy's position with tightly arranged defenses? Please don't tell me that you can fly from the sky. Haha, the balloons put on by the Engineers' Brigade can only be carried by two people at a time, and the cold wind will send you to the river."

"Well, even if you and your soldiers ask for God's blessing and enter the city hall safely, how can you make sure that the Spanish rebel leaders are gathered there and waiting for you to come to pick up the arrest?"

"In addition, even if you lucky enough to capture all the rebel leaders, when the other party is unwilling to surrender, can your 80 soldiers persevere until the rescue arrives under the siege of thousands of crazy Spanish people?"
