King's Landing in France

An Ning nodded: "Then I'll go back and drink champagne and wait for your good news."

Napoleon is now the commander of the army, but An Ning still wants to promote him as a commander in charge of one aspect.

For example, let him command the French army in the direction of Spain, and let him experience how bad things are in Spain.

Spain has not yet gone to war with France, but there is no guarantee that there will be no war in the future.

After all, in the original history, the anti-French alliance was originally a joint strangulation of the progressive republic by all feudal countries.

It is "all reactionary forces have united", Spain is now a feudal country, and from An Ning's perspective, it is a high probability event that he will join the war in the future.

In short, it is necessary for Napoleon to make more contributions.

Berthier stepped forward: "At this time, your personal command can effectively boost the morale of our army."

An Ning glanced at Berthier with dissatisfaction.

The chief of staff had a suddenly realized expression: "Oh, that's right, I understand, I completely understand!"

An Ning found Berthier's expression change very interesting, so she asked, "What do you understand?"

"Give our senior military officers the opportunity to gain experience, Your Excellency is really far-sighted."

An Ning smiled: "You are really good at talking, let's go. By the way, the logistics of Napoleon's troops have to keep up. When I entered the city, I saw that many people were starving and emaciated. Give them enough supplies.

"Also, in order to take care of the emotions of the troops, other troops will not enter the city for the time being, but will advance downstream along the Danube, approaching Dillingen and Donauworth!

"If these cities are not garrisoned by the enemy, cross the river and control the crossings; if there are enemy garrisons, confront the enemy across the river.

"Spread our seven armies along the Danube, and scout out the fortifications of the various places.

"We are going to find a weakly defended ferry to cross the Danube, and then go straight to Augsburg and make a big dumpling!"

Berthier nodded repeatedly.

After An Ning finished speaking, she said as usual: "Repeat it again!"

Berthier immediately repeated it, and it was the kind of combat plan that had been summarized and organized clearly and could be executed step by step.

An Ning nodded: "Okay, go and execute it. Fanny, where is Fanny? Set me a table by the Danube River. I want to enjoy the scenery of the Danube River while watching Napoleon destroy the Prussian-Austrian coalition forces in the city."

Fanny glanced suspiciously at the smoky city at this time: "You said... the scenery of the Danube? This scenery has long since been ruined, right?"

An Ning thought, "I'm here to maintain the character design, what do you know?" On the surface, she said: "If you only look at the Danube and ignore the situation on the other side of the river, the scenery is really good."

"Okay, I won't hold you back if you have the pleasure." Fanny said helplessly.

After a while, An Ning left the city, sat by the bridge guarded by La Salle, and watched the Danube play with a glass of wine.

On the main road next to him, the troops that had come for reinforcements turned left one by one, and drove out along the Danube River.

Berthier placed the headquarters at a place across the river from Anning, and there were always messengers running across the wooden bridge on horseback, and they did not forget to salute when they passed by Anning.

Just looking at this scene, it is indeed quite peaceful.

※※※

Alvinzi couldn't understand what happened for a while. The effective barricade defense suddenly became unreliable, and news came one after another that the barricades were lost.

Worst of all, the troops retreating from the barricades ran straight out of the city, spreading frightening rumors as they went:

"Here comes Frost!"

"Our army is defeated! Our army is defeated!"

Alvinzi was so angry that he ordered his guards to arrest those bastards who spread rumors and shoot them if they caught them.

As a result, the guards quickly reported that there were too many deserters, and everyone claimed that Frost was coming, and it was impossible to catch him.

The most annoying thing is that the guard itself also ran away a lot of people.

Frost is like a sword of Damocles hanging over the head of the Prussian-Austrian Allied Forces, and we must worry about it being stabbed at any time.

Alvinzi lost his temper: "These shit! Will the French army only need to plant a Frost scarecrow in the future, and they will turn around and run like this when they see it?"

Alvinzi's chief of staff was still there to show his humor: "I'm afraid it's just a scarecrow. You have to wear a uniform and an eagle flag."

Alvinzi glared at the chief of staff with murderous eyes, and finally told him to shut up.

Then the Prussian commander-in-chief, the Duke of Brunswick, said: "How did they break through the barricades? Did they use cannons to approach and shoot? Even if Frost really arrived, he couldn't solve the barricades so efficiently, right?"

Alvin Qi shook his head: "I don't know, maybe Frost really summoned the Roman theater troupe to break through our barricades with a tortoise formation formed by shields.

"This Frost, there is always something new! He can always surprise us!"

After speaking, Alvin Qi sighed.

"Maybe, the empire has really met its doom this time."

Chapter 353 The Cobbler and the General

An Ning sat by the Danube until five o'clock in the afternoon.

He even began to wonder whether he should bring "The Blue Danube" to Mao in advance.

Strauss will not be born for almost 30 years, so he probably won't care about his work being covered in hair.

While An Ning was thinking about these, one of his attendants, the painter David, set up a canvas beside him, and included the tranquility with a wine glass, the Danube River, and the smoky city on the other side into the canvas.

Just after five o'clock in the afternoon, Napoleon crossed the bridge with Berthier and came to Anning.

Napoleon gave a special formal salute, and then reported: "Your Excellency, we have captured Ulm, and the remnants of the Prussian-Austrian coalition forces have withdrawn from the city. In addition, we used the method of bypassing the barricades to burn supplies before the enemy. Previously occupied the supply warehouse in the enemy city.

"Ulm has pledged his allegiance to you."

An Ning nodded solemnly, and then asked, "Have you captured the Austrian commander-in-chief Alvinzi?"

"According to reliable sources, Alvinzi has escaped from the city and went to the Austrian army downstream. We seized the headquarters documents that the Austrian army failed to destroy in time."

An Ning: "Very good, hand over the document to Berthier."

He turned his gaze to Berthier: "You organize people to read these documents and see if there is any noteworthy information."

"Understood." Berthier nodded.

An Ning stood up: "Then let's go into the city, and then we have to think about how to wipe out as many Prussian-Austrian coalition forces as possible."

Napoleon: "Our army can still fight, and after supplies we can go straight to..."

"You have worked very hard, you can fix it on the spot." An Ning patted Napoleon on the shoulder, "Give some credit to other troops."

Napoleon immediately said: "No, we were able to capture Ulm because of your creative tactics, which broke through the previous military common sense. You are indeed a wise general with wild thinking and unreasonable thinking. All the glory belongs to you! "

An Ning smiled and shook her head: "Even if you flatter me, you won't get any benefits. You should honestly accept the credit for occupying Ulm."

"Why is this flattering? This is the truth. How did you come up with the idea of ​​splitting up the army?"

An Ning: "Because I have a deep understanding of the difference between the citizen army and the kingdom's army. You don't understand this level, mainly because you haven't been soldiers in the kingdom's army at the grassroots level, and you don't have a deep understanding of the grassroots soldiers in the kingdom's army.

"I started as an ordinary soldier. After all, I am the son of a cobbler. And you Napoleon, your starting point is in the military academy in Brienne, and you are an officer after you come out. There is a layer between the officers and soldiers of the Royal Army. With a thick barrier, you naturally cannot see the state of the soldiers of the kingdom's army at the grassroots level.

"All of you have this weakness. Even those officers who were born as civilians joined the army after the Great Revolution, and they only came into contact with grassroots soldiers of the National Self-Defense Force after the Great Revolution."

Napoleon nodded like a chicken pecking rice: "Yes, that's right. You are so right. Sure enough, only you can lead us to victory, and we will not recognize anyone except you!"

An Ning was shocked when he heard this sentence. He would listen to North Korean military songs from time to time before crossing, including "Do we maintain the spirit of the past", "Without you, there is no motherland", and "We have no one but you." recognize".

Napoleon inadvertently opened his mouth, and a familiar and passionate melody sounded in An Ning's mind.North Korea's songs are all about being energetic.

But An Ning's favorite song is "Attack War". After all, this is also his introductory song to North Korean songs. The first time I heard it was sung by a virtual anchor named Bai Cai...

An Ning began to seriously consider whether to bring "Attack War" over and use it together with "Ode to Rome" as the designated song for the French army to attack...

Napoleon: "Andy?"

"Ah?" An Ning suddenly woke up, "Oh, what did you just say?"

"I'm bragging about your great achievements." Fanny said suddenly, and at the same time continued to clear the table.

Napoleon couldn't hold back all of a sudden: "Uh, no, I'm telling the truth. I said Andy, are you pampering your maid too much?"

An Ning: "I don't care what other people say. I can't help it. I'm just a cobbler. I can't be noble."

An Ning's self-deprecating statement made many people laugh.

Seeing this, the soldier guarding next to him also boldly said: "Then our leather shoes are broken, can I ask you to repair them?"

"Okay, come!" An Ning smiled, and stretched out her hand to make a "bring it here" gesture.

The guard persuaded himself: "Forget it, now my shoes are fine and not broken."

An Ning: "Really, then you missed the opportunity for me to repair shoes. After all, I am the commander of the army. If everyone comes to me to repair shoes, I will have no time to command the army. There will never be any more Such an opportunity."

"That's a pity." The guard had a sincere expression, "The shoes repaired by you must be family heirlooms."

An Ning laughed out loud, and the officers looked at each other, and then laughed together.

"Let's go, let's go to the city."

※※※

On the second day after occupying Ulm, the French army had already deployed along the north bank of the Danube, but there was still only one bridgehead in Ulm on the south bank.

The Prussian-Austrian Allied Forces are also like snakes on the mountain, guarding strongholds along the Danube River.

Berthier asked the messengers to pass on the experience of the Ulm battle to the commanders of the whole army, telling them that when they encountered a city with strong fortifications, they could dismantle part of the troops and infiltrate through the lanes to bypass the strong barricades.

Alvinzi's headquarters had moved to Dillingen the night before.But because the headquarters moved, he has not yet re-established contact with the various armies.

There was no radio at this time, and after the headquarters moved, orderers had to be dispatched to the armies on horseback to inform them of the headquarters' move, and then bring back the status reports of the armies.

At this time, the general mobile headquarters of the army will lead to a state of being out of contact for at least one day, and each army can only play its own role.

However, Berthier has established a complete system, and the French army can ensure that the headquarters can maintain communication with the various armies when it moves, which is also the advantage of the French army.

Other countries will only have such capabilities after imitating the military reform of the French military system.

Although Berthier is really good at fighting, he is really good at being a staff officer.If Napoleon had Berthier as chief of staff when he was in Waterloo, he might be able to avoid a lot of mistakes in command and communication, and win the victory in the Battle of Lini at the outpost of Waterloo.

All in all, when the Prussian-Austrian Allied Forces were in a state of fighting on their own due to the movement of the headquarters, the French armies began to test the current enemy.

Chapter 354 Lana's Attack

Lana observed the fortifications of the coalition forces on the opposite side of the ferry.

His chief of staff was also holding a binoculars at the side, and while looking at it, he said, "This attack will cause a lot of losses, right?"

"Yes. But we are the French National Guard, and we are not afraid of losses." Lana replied firmly.

The chief of staff said again: "The enemy is also really strange, why didn't they demolish the bridge? Maybe it's a scam..."

"We'll know if we're cheating or not. The enemy hasn't demolished the bridge. As a French soldier, how can we not try to seize the bridge? Prepare to attack!"

Chief of Staff: "Fire the guns?"

"Fire." Lana ordered with a firm expression.

The chief of staff immediately gestured to the artillerymen, and the rumble of cannons rang out.

Lana pulled out his saber, turned to the military band and said, "Beat the attack drum, and the first regiment will follow me."

"Are you going to charge in person?" The chief of staff was shocked, "You should be in the command position! You are the army commander!"

Lana: "Didn't you read the order sent by the Chief of Staff of the Legion? Believe in our army's own will to fight, even without me as the army commander, they will fight on their own!"

Berthier probably didn't expect that there were still people who could understand the orders he issued in this way.

After speaking, Lana held his long knife high, walked to the front of the first regiment's flag, and led the troops to stride towards the other side of the river.

The coalition forces immediately greeted Lana with artillery fire, but the "Immortal Grenadier" was not afraid at all, and just walked towards the shells and gunfire.

This action greatly encouraged the soldiers behind, and they all walked towards the enemy fearlessly, even if the people around them fell down, they didn't even frown.

In this way the French crossed the bridge and rushed to the first barricade.

Passing over the earthen baskets that made up the barricade, Lannes shouted: "Forward, France!"

Then an Austrian non-commissioned officer pointed his rifle and stabbed his bayonet at Laner.

Ranameng turned to one side, and avoided the bayonet, but his shoulder was still pierced.

Fortunately, it was only the left arm, and Lana immediately hacked to death the non-commissioned officer who stabbed him with the saber in his right hand.

French soldiers crossed Lannes and rushed towards the Austrians behind the barricades.
