King's Landing in France

Chapter 171 Captain Bonaparte Shows His Power

Napoleon Bonaparte commanded the cavalry artillery unit and was advancing with Lahalpe's right-wing troops. He suddenly noticed the situation on the Diego Heights in front of him, so he stopped and took out his binoculars to observe.

After a while he laughed: "Hahaha! Andy used a lime bomb! Extended the lead wire of the lime bomb and used it as a mine!"

He put down the binoculars and sighed: "I always thought that lime bombs were useless garbage. Now it seems that as long as the method is used correctly, there are no garbage props."

At this time, Napoleon's adjutant asked: "Should we also bring some lime bombs in the future?"

"No, no, that kind of thing is useless. Look at the enemies on the mountain. Didn't they just rush through the area where the lime smoke is scattered?"

On the hillside, the Austrian army was passing through the Lime Field.After all, this concentration of quicklime dust, if not inhaled, can only burn the eyes at best.

Lime bombs are now a very common weapon, and armies of all countries have been trained to deal with it.

Close your breath and eyes, and quickly pass through the lime area.

After all, the density of stone dust exploded by lime bombs is not high, and its lethality to humans is a bit weak.

But being unable to kill anyone does not mean that the formation will not be destroyed. In fact, the Austrian troops that passed through the stone dust had to stop and regroup, and at the same time wiped their faces with something.

This already has a pretty good hysteresis effect.

But Napoleon was obviously not satisfied with this. He said to his deputy: "What we want to pursue is to kill the enemy completely! Unless the effect of the lime bomb is so good that the enemy's skin will be burned, eroded, and necrotic! Otherwise, I will never use lime." bomb."

As he spoke, he turned his head and shouted to the cavalry behind him: "Forward! Occupy the enemy's flank position!"

At this time, Napoleon was in a very dangerous position. He was on the right flank of Lahalpe's division and the far right of the entire French line.

He took a fancy to a protrusion, and prepared to mount the gun here, and directly bombard the enemy's line from the side.

"This is the bayonet on the cannon!" Napoleon said proudly, "This is the evaluation given to me by Your Excellency the General after the last battle! How can we let him down! Go forward, artillery team!"

**
Lahalp watched Napoleon's maneuvers on the side. He originally thought that Napoleon's troops were simply strengthened for himself, so he ordered Napoleon to deploy artillery on the frontal artillery position.

Unexpectedly, Napoleon didn't listen to him at all, and ran directly to the outermost flank of the entire front with his mounted gun.

That position is actually very dangerous, not to mention the enemy's cavalry, if the enemy's infantry separates out to attack, they may even capture Napoleon's artillery.

Lahalp: "Advance the whole army! Squeeze the enemy's space, and don't let them have time to threaten our artillery! That's the general's favorite, and we can't afford him if he has an accident!"

In fact, the Laharp Division has the advantage in terms of strength, and it can quickly defeat the enemy by pressing it up and shooting close.

It's just that he doesn't want to leave the current bunker area.

After all, there is a big road between the two armies, and whoever advances to the open area will suffer.

Lahalpe likes to win certain victories in a safe way, and does not want too many casualties for his troops.

I didn't know that the celebrities of Your Excellency the General are all so crazy.

So he can only push forward.

On An Ning's side, seeing Lahalp pushing across the road, he was so excited that he took a big sip of wine: "Okay!"

He turned his head and asked Berthier: "Let Lahalp divide some of his troops across the road and advance to the high ground, will it cause his troops to be insufficient to deal with the enemies in front of him?"

Berthier: "No problem, Lahalpe's troops should have an advantage, and taking out a regiment should not weaken his frontal advantage."

An Ning snapped her fingers: "Okay! Then do this!! You draft the order!"

Berthier immediately began to write quickly.

At this time, the watchman reported loudly: "General! The first front line has been broken!"

An Ning immediately turned the telescope.

Because he used the cannons to fire lime bombs on the hillside to delay the enemy's follow-up troops, and the frontal troops lost the support of the artillery, and it would be a matter of time before they were broken through.

There are several fronts of the same front, all of which are built on the basis of ready-made complex terrain such as low walls and fences.

Many people who retreated from the previous front stopped and joined on the spot when they reached the second front.

Therefore, such a stepped front is actually getting thicker and thicker, and the enemy needs stronger troops to break through them.

And most of the enemy's troops were delayed by the quicklime cloud on the hillside. After passing through the quicklime cloud, they had to regroup, wasting a lot of time out of thin air.

An Ning's cannons continued to bombard the mountain. When the lime bombs exploded, there were fragments, which were equivalent to exploded grenades.

It's just that the lead burns for a while, giving the Austrian a chance to run away.

Once a shell landed in the middle of the enemy formation, the group could be seen fleeing in all directions.

Sometimes there will be a bold officer who dares to go up and cut off the fuse with a saber.

An Ning saw all this, and he became a little anxious.

He originally thought that the cloud and mist from the lime bomb could completely block the enemy's follow-up troops, but who knew that the lime concentration was too low.

Think about it carefully, after all, a projectile can only hold so much quicklime, and it will naturally become very thin when it is exploded.

Moreover, lime bombs are not a new type of weapon, and European armies have seen them a lot.

Damn it, that is to say, I am a novice traveler. If I am the kind of traveler who is good at rubbing all kinds of things with my hands, I will definitely rub a white phosphorus bomb with my hands, and then let the army of this era know what terror is.

An Ning remembered watching a World War II blockbuster, in which the US military officers would shout "cease fire and let them burn" when the German soldiers who had been hit by white phosphorous bombs ran out burning all over.

It's a pity that quicklime is far from white phosphorus, and it can only have the effect of delaying the enemy.

An Ning looked at the first front line she had been broken through, and saw that the female soldiers were still maintaining the establishment system to harass the enemy troops on the side after the frontal defenders collapsed.

Lime bombs, female stragglers, all available tricks were used. If it didn't work, he could only draw out his saber and charge with the Sunset Knights.

Relying on his own front line, I am afraid there is no way to win this battle.

Davout!

Anning turned his gaze to the left flank of the entire battlefield, watching Davout's troops spread out along the Bomida River.

Just now Davout's troops have been moving and deploying, and now he should be about to launch an attack!
As long as Davout strikes, everything will be fine!

While An Ning was thinking this way, the artillerymen of Davout Division opened fire.

Davout's opponent was the four brigades of the Austrian army deployed on the east bank of the Bomida River.

In terms of military strength, Davout has no advantage.

But An Ning fully trusts Davout.

After all, it was Davout!

If this battle is not won, An Ning will have to review his strategy of over-trusting the fighting power of so-called famous generals.

An Ning focused on Davout's side, watching his troops advance through binoculars.

The Austrian troops deployed across the river began to shoot, and the white smoke even blocked the waves of the Bomida River.

At this moment, Berthier suddenly spoke to remind An Ning: "General! Look at the right wing!"

An Ning hurriedly turned his head. He thought Lahalp's troops had collapsed, but when he turned his head, he saw that the rightmost brigade of the enemy's line—for the enemy, the leftmost brigade—began to collapse!

An Ning: "What the hell?"

He hurriedly raised his binoculars to see what was happening, and saw Napoleon himself lighting a cannon, and the shot from the muzzle swept across the enemy lines like a death wind.

Seeing this scene, An Ning directly expressed the expression on the subway old man's phone: What the hell, I said half-jokingly before, when Napoleon beat Lafayette, he used a cannon with a bayonet. ?
Napoleon, turned into a man charging with a cannon?

"Reload quickly!" Napoleon looked very proud, "Hurry up! Let's fire another shot, or the infantry will rush up to block the line of fire!"

When the artillery was desperately reloading, he turned his head and said to his deputy: "See! The power of the cannon lies in the grape bullets. If your grape bullets don't smash the enemy's line, it means that you are not close enough! The meaning of mobile artillery is to The point is to get close enough to exert the power of grape bullets, and shoot at close range!"

Just as the deputy was about to answer, he was shot in the ear.

He fell to the ground screaming.

Napoleon didn't care, and waved his hand: "Put him down! Wash his ears with alcohol! Fill me!"

A small group of Austrians, led by a sergeant, rushed towards Napoleon's artillery, which was wandering outside the line.

Napoleon himself turned the muzzle of the guns to aim at the Austrians, and then lit the breech breeches.

With a loud bang, this group of brave Austrian soldiers fell down.

Napoleon: "Reload!"

At this time, the infantry of the Lahalp Division rushed up screaming.

Napoleon cursed: "Fuck! Get out of the way! Bastard! I can kill another wave!"

But no one paid any attention to him at all. When the soldiers charged, they were so frenzied under the action of adrenaline that they couldn't listen to anything.

Napoleon cursed, moved away from the cannon, found a higher place to stand on, and began to observe the battlefield.

Then he immediately found a place where he could continue to play.

"Quick! Put the guns away! Let's go support the middle! It seems that the middle also needs a wave of side fire! Quick!"

A warrant officer reported: "The horse is dead, and it can't pull so many guns!"

Napoleon: "Damn it, it's always been so bad with the horses! Throw away a cannon and recycle it when you're done shooting! Use the remaining horses to mount the remaining cannon carts, and move quickly, your soldiers are fast!"

Speaking of which, the short captain got on his horse and shouted: "Order!"

Immediately came a messenger: "Captain!"

"Go, tell Lahalp, I'm going to maneuver to the frontal battlefield, and it's up to him here!"
