King's Landing in France

An Ning ordered the French army to grab food, so soldiers from Marseilles jumped down the river one after another, put their hands against the wood flowing down the river, and quietly moved to the grain ship in the middle of the river.

Soldiers in Marseilles can swim, and this kind of thing is easy for them.

There was the sound of fighting on the grain transport ship, and there was a maniacal roar: "Get him out of the way!"

An Ning guessed that a boatman might have been restrained by the Marseille sailors who rushed in.

Now that she couldn't see the situation on the boat at all, An Ning could only circle the shore in a hurry.

A moment later, the tricolor flag was hoisted on the bow.

An Ning was very happy: "Great, with so many grain ships, we don't have to go hungry and fight!"

At this moment, Beethoven, who just came from the rear with his new music, suddenly said: "There is a sign on this grain ship. This is the ration for the people in Vienna."

An Ning was speechless.

Napoleon stepped forward and pressed Beethoven's shoulder: "Our soldiers are starving, and we are here to liberate the German people!"

An Ning: "Starving civilians to death is not liberation."

He turned his head and glanced at his subordinates, and said in a loud voice: "As soldiers, we may die on the battlefield. They died on the battlefield. At least those who died of starvation will have a whole body.”

After the soldiers listened to the instructions, although no one started, they still shouted loudly, calling An Ning's name.

Then Napoleon of the chicken thief added: "Long live!"

So a group of French people began to shout long live.

Napoleon burst into laughter, he seemed to like the feeling of An Ning being treated as a king.He is smiling very happily now.

An Ning expressed her opinion with complaining eyes.

I always feel that I will be carried to the throne of France by Napoleon sooner or later.At that time, I am afraid that Bernadotte will be furious if it is not Bernadotte, and then lead his own army to question the crime.

Then maybe Bernadotte will face Napoleon at this age and become mutual enemies, and then compare whose fists are harder and have more soldiers.

However, An Ning himself really wanted to watch the "competition" between Napoleon and Bernadotte, to see if Napoleon could overthrow the young man who was taller than him.

Of course, this metaphor is not really knocked to the ground.

But not this time.

Not this time.

Fortunately, Bernadotte is not here.

An Ning: "Since this is the ration of the city people, let them go."

The bosses of several grain ships, after thanking them repeatedly, said they wanted to praise Frost's character, and set off for Vienna.

Under An Ning's gaze, the long fleet of ships filed through the arch bridge in front of them.

Then An Ning's stomach growled in disappointment.

Napoleon: "Should we save some just now?"

"Come on, enter the city, we don't rob ordinary people, but we can rob nobles!"

Napoleon clapped his hands: "Yes, and who is the common people, who is the nobleman, and who is the new nobleman who can unite, we can define!"

An Ning shook his head: "No, no, no, this is too rogue, and it will leave sequelae. I think so, we define the royal family as nobles, that's right. Then arrest the royal family, arrest that Louis XVI and his Queen Mary was taken back to France for a public trial!

"The last step is to establish an Austrian parliament and turn them into a republic!"

Napoleon nodded: "It makes sense. You said that after they become autonomous republics, will they kill those nobles to vent their anger, just like the people of Paris did?"

An Ning scratched her head: "Of course it will, the blood feud is not so easy to heal, it will take at least three generations.

"Everyone can still vividly remember what the nobles did to the common people."

At this moment, a messenger ran over and reported loudly: "Report, our army encountered resistance when entering the city!"

An Ning straightened up: "What do you mean? What kind of blocking? What troops are blocking us?"

"Looks like a group of volunteers," Berthier said.

An Ning asked suspiciously, "How do you know?"

Berthier shook his head: "You can see it here."

"You said it earlier!"

So An Ning lay on Berthier's shoulder, observing the crowd in the square in the distance.

It looks like a motley army, and the uniforms are not neat. Many people's military uniforms are not so much Austrian white, but the original clothes have been washed and faded.

And there are very young boys in the army, as well as young children.

But the child was taken out of the fortification as a matter of course, and kicked aside casually.

An Ning said angrily: "Damn, we're all here, these guys are still bullying children?"

Napoleon: "Ready to attack?"

"Yes, by the way, send cavalry to find out where Masséna is. Feed them before the cavalry go!"

Fanny suddenly appeared: "It can't be like this, the last ration is for Your Excellency the General..."

An Ning waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, I'm not hungry! Give it to the scouting cavalry!"

Fanny nodded unwillingly.

※※※

Vienna, Royal Dungeon.

Archduke Karl looked at the open cell door in surprise.

Imperial Chancellor Wilm came in.

Carl frowned: "Wilm, what do you want to say? Let me explain first, I will not do what you think! I will not be hostile to my brother!"

Wilm: "Even after what he did to you?"

Carl: "It's okay. I'm in prison, so I can just read a book quietly. I brought a lot of books."

If An Ning was here, he would definitely complain: "Did you come to Longchang to enlighten?"

Wilm took a deep breath: "You can't read, the Austrian army is about to collapse, and Frost has already arrived.

"If you read the book for a while, Shinra should become a historical term."

Carl: "Let my brother go to the front line to boost morale!"

"Your Majesty's dragon body is ill."

Carl cursed: "He just doesn't want to go! He's scared!"

Finally Karl stood up: "I'll go and see if I can hold Vienna."

Chapter 363

As soon as Archduke Karl was out of prison, the French army began to attack.

But Archduke Karl did not rush to mount his horse, but leaned on the saddle and listened for a while, and suddenly asked Wilm, "Why didn't the French army use cannons?"

Wilm replied: "The French army outside the city seems to be a lone army that forcibly marched over without opening the supply line. There are only infantry, no cannons, and no luggage."

Carl was shocked and confirmed again: "Is there really no cannon?"

Wilm nodded: "Indeed not. And according to the reports of the residents who ran into the city, their soldiers looked very hungry, and everyone's food belts were flat."

Carl: "Hungry, no guns...why would Frost make such a decision? It's not like him."

"It is said that Massena in Italy has broken through the defense and is heading towards Vienna." Wilm replied.

Grand Duke Karl once again showed a surprised expression: "The direction of Italy has been breached? When I was imprisoned, I heard that our army had strong fortifications on the Italian side. Did they still occupy the hills and commandeer? Massena should have only 5 people? How did you break through?"

Wilm: "First of all, Masséna has [-] French troops, and secondly, they are supported by [-] Italian volunteers. The morale of the Italians is almost as high as that of the French army. They seem to want to attack Vienna, the capital of the Holy Roman Empire."

Grand Duke Karl frowned: "Italians...it seems that they don't want to be a part of Shinra anymore. There is nothing we can do about it. Apart from collecting taxes from Northern Italy, we have basically done nothing for the local area."

Wilm: "Do you agree with the independence of Italy?"

"Why not? We have ruled Italy for so many years, but we still haven't turned their national identity into Shinra. They still regard themselves as ruled and oppressed aliens. This shows that Shinra's rule in Italy has failed." Karl Seriously.

Wilm: "This... this sounds a lot like the words in the article of the enemy commander Frost!"

Carl was about to defend himself when he suddenly found a blind spot and turned to ask Wilm, "How do you know that this is very similar to the words in Frost's article?"

Wilm was embarrassed: "I... I heard it when I was drinking!"

Karl: "Now the nobles in Vienna will talk about Frost's articles when drinking?"

Wilm's eyes visibly moved.

Karl continued to ask: "I have been busy since I came back, and I have not participated in the social activities in Vienna. I don't know the situation in Vienna. Does it mean that Frost's article already has a certain degree of support in Vienna?"

Wilm couldn't help asking, and finally said: "Actually... There were many newspapers discussing reform in Vienna before, and they were banned by His Majesty Franz II. But after the ban, everyone discussed more at the ball. .

"Even many times the gentlemen at the ball are all worried about these topics, and no one invites the ladies to dance."

Karl showed a thoughtful expression, but he woke up immediately: "No! The most important thing now is to block the French army's attack! The French army did not bring heavy artillery and was hungry. The army should be able to withstand it too!"

As he said that, he got on his horse and started galloping on the streets of Vienna.

Wilm immediately got on his horse and followed Carl's footsteps.

Archduke Karl walked all the way and gave instructions to the troops he encountered.

Because most of the aristocratic officers knew Karl, even though he just got out of prison without wearing a uniform, the order was carried out by everyone.

When Karl arrived at the garrison headquarters, he saw the Vienna garrison commander rushing out of the headquarters.

Karl was a little puzzled for a moment, he thought that the commander of the garrison was here to greet him, but when he was about to speak, he saw the commander riding on his horse and galloping across the road.

Wilm: "It seems that the commander has been frightened by the French army."

Because the commander ran away, the entire garrison headquarters were running out, and they were about to disperse.

Archduke Karl snatched the guard's rifle and shot into the sky.

Everyone stopped suddenly and looked at Carl.

Carl: "Don't be afraid! The French army has no cannons and is hungry. We can defeat them! In 1683, the Ottoman army failed to capture Vienna! At that time, Count Stasenberg had only 7000 people, and [-] Volunteer Army! We..."

Wilm: "We don't have as many people as he does."

Karl looked embarrassed, but continued to speak: "Although we do not have as many soldiers as Earl Stasenberg, our opponent has fewer troops! Ottoman's army is 25, and now we have only tens of thousands of French troops in front of us! And as I said just now, they don’t have cannons, they’re starving!”

Karl waved his hand: "We are bound to be able to reproduce the victory in 1683! The city walls of Vienna will become the walls of sighs for France!"

Wilm: "However, after 100 years of development, Vienna has expanded beyond the walls. Moreover, many of these buildings are built against the walls, and there is no shooting boundary on the walls."

Carl: "Wilm, do you still want to defend Vienna?"

"Of course I would, but I want to tell you the actual situation."

Carl: "Thank you! As long as we fight bravely, we will be able to defend Vienna!"

The noble officers stopped by Grand Duke Karl looked at each other.

An old lieutenant colonel said: "But the French army outside is under the command of Frost!"

But immediately a young nobleman said: "No, there is no report of seeing Frost's handsome flag, only the report of seeing Napoleon's handsome flag! Obviously Napoleon came here ahead of time to grab the credit!"

In fact, An Ning ordered it, but An Ning wanted Napoleon to make meritorious service, so that he could be named the commander of the front army in the future, and let him experience how bad things are in Spain, so he deliberately did not expose himself and followed.

Grand Duke Karl was overjoyed: "I played against Napoleon. Although I lost that time, I have studied his tactics. This time we will definitely win!"

The young officers shouted together: "We can win!"

The old nobles looked at each other in blank dismay. It was obvious that many wanted to make money. After all, they were old and had high positions and powers, so they had no motivation to win fame.

Karl was about to make a final decision and take down the entire garrison headquarters, when suddenly a messenger came galloping on horseback, shouting as he ran, "His Majesty the Emperor is out of the city! His Majesty the Emperor is out of the city!"

Carl looked at the sky in frustration and muttered "fuck".

Suddenly, he made up his mind, pulled out the sword of the officer who was leading the horse for him, and chopped down the messenger.

"This person is a female agent sent by the French army! I know my brother best, he will never run away! Don't be fooled!"

Grand Duke Karl held his blood-stained sword on his horse, and looked down majestically at all the officers in front of him: "Now, I order you to return to your posts, and I will kill anyone who doesn't listen!"
