Superior Forces

Even now, Gaayar felt as though he were dreaming.

He had already decided to surrender, yet the French Army had descended from the heavens and appeared before him.

And it was not a small force of cavalry coming to rescue him, but a powerful main force complete with infantry and artillery, and vast in number!

The police officers quickly learned what had happened as well. They embraced one another excitedly and burst into cheers. "It's the French! We're saved!"

"They actually got here so quickly."

"Long live His Majesty the King!"

"Long live His Majesty! Long live France! Teach those damned Austrians a good lesson!"

Before long, a detachment of French cavalry confirmed the identity of the police force. Then, escorted by several hundred police officers, a French Officer came before Gaayar and tipped his hat. "You are Police Superintendent Gaayar, I presume?"

"I am." Gaayar saluted him excitedly. "You came at exactly the right time. Thank you, brave warriors of France!"

"You have also proven yourselves through your outstanding performance." The officer gestured behind him. "His Highness the Crown Prince wishes to see you."

Gaayar's city defenses were extremely formidable; every stone wall was over twice a man's height.

Davout had been preparing to abandon the encirclement and have his soldiers directly crush the Austrian Army before them when something suddenly occurred to him. He said to the Orderly Officer, "Have Meyer's and Philip's companies turn south and drive those Austrians out of the city.

Wei Jinning watched him ride away in a cloud of dust, then turned to urge the Crown Prince of France, "Your Highness, isn't this rather risky?"

Lewavre nodded and added, "Have the cavalry squadron circle around to the north side and harass the enemy's main force, preventing them from entering the city as reinforcements."
