Faced with the offensive launched by Duke Vandom on the right wing, I suddenly remembered some opinions on Napoleon's tactics. Although those opinions were inevitably a bit extreme, I still felt that it made sense.

Those who wrote their opinions believed that the biggest reason why Napoleon was able to win every battle in the early stage of the anti-French war was that the enemy's team was not of high quality, but the French army brought high morale because of the Revolution. With these two foundations, Napoleon himself usually only had three axes in these two modes of war, namely, cannons, infantry followers, cavalry rushing, cannons, infantry rushing. When the infantry quality of the countries behind him increased, and the French army also consumed passion because of various strange plots of the Revolution, Napoleon and his Yum Division could not fight. Waterloo's failure was because the French artillery could not be bombed out. After the cavalry rushed, the infantry could not win.

Although it is a bit one-sided, it is not denied that in the early days of the Great Revolution, the French army often achieved such results when they played against each other with the Austrian army and other anti-French allies.

The two sides fired volleys for an afternoon, and the French infantry charged and the enemy was defeated.

As a result, hundreds of casualties of the French army and hundreds of casualties of the Austrian army.

This number reminds me of the French army's spear-playing trick. If I were the ones in charge of finance in the Great Revolution, I also think that the French army is better equipped with spears than equipped with smoothbore guns, at least without wasting bullets.

As for the later period, the quality of the anti-French alliance was not so much as an increase. The French army's level declined sharply. Wars were often wars of attrition. Even if they won the enemy, the casualties were almost one to one. They could not attack the enemy's biological forces at all. By the way, the French army's Russian expedition was a large 500,000 corps. Among them, less than 100,000 were French, and the others were thugs transferred from Austria, Rhine League, and Prussia.

But one thing I want to say is that Napoleon's playing style is not wrong, and even if it seems simple, it is impossible to achieve such coordination even if you play computer games. You can coordinate such playing style well. Needless to say, it must be awesome. I haven't seen that Duke Vendome is using this style of playing!

Faced with this kind of combat method that allowed Napoleon to fight the world invincible in the future, I only hope that the 16th Spartan Legion can last longer.

This kind of offensive of cannon bombardment, cavalry, infantry, cavalry, cannon bombardment, infantry, and infantry again. It is not perfect. As long as someone can withstand and arrange counter-charge and cannon bombardment behind, the offensive cannon can be dismantled. However, few people can survive in that purgatory environment, which is why Napoleon used this tactic repeatedly in the early stage and often beat the anti-French alliance to the point where he could not beat him later.

However, here, I am not going to set up a counterattack, but to build a defensive counterattack position. Because Horabrun's geographical location destined that the Duke of Vendorm must have a backup plan!

"The 16th Spartan Legion stabilized the French offensive, but the enemy's attack was very fierce. A legion on the right wing had already retreated, and the Governor Ventrad asked for support!"

The front line of the right wing kept coming from Ventra's messengers asking for support. In response, I ordered the left wing to attack and the central position artillery to move.

"I don't know how the casualties on the right wing are." Alexander walked around uneasy.

"Most of the French artillery are in the central position, and their artillery bombardment is not very strong, so instead of worrying about the right wing, we might as well worry about the central offensive. We are tearing apart the central position of the French army. Even if we cannot leave all the main force of the French army here, I will eat down the left wing of the French army! I don't know where the 19th Spartan Legion, the 61st Legion, the 63rd and 64th four Spartan Legion have advanced?"

The battle for central positions has lasted for more than two hours. The continued bombardment of artillery soldiers on both sides killed thousands of people. The infantry line either submerged under the galloping horse's hooves or fell in the whistling rain of bullets. At this time, when I most hoped to hear good news from the front line, a very embarrassed messenger came down from the front line.

"The two Spartan legions, 63rd and 64th, have their attacks blocked!!!"

"How is that possible?"

"What's going on?"

Alexander and I asked in unison.

"Is it the French army that invested a large-scale counterattack?"

This is my reaction.

"No!" the messenger swallowed his saliva and shouted, "The two Spartan legions 63rd and 64th encountered swamps! The French army hid behind the jungle and fired fiercely at us! It was difficult for us to continue moving forward!"

But I encountered a swamp at this time!

"Aren't the French army unfamiliar with the area here? How could they find the swamp here?" Alexander screamed in surprise.

"They have been besieging Vienna for so long, and perhaps they have been lucky enough to find such a place here." I took a deep breath and replied, "Alexander, calm down."

Alexander turned around and looked at me and said, "It seems that it is not all a bad thing to discover the swamp. Now we are more sure what Duke Vandom wants to do next. He is going to eat our right wing, then join the Duke of Luxembourg's troops to flee to the west, then join their reinforcements, reverse the disadvantages in their forces, and then start a decisive battle with us!"

"We can't let him do it!"

At present, we have invested nearly 40,000 troops on the Central Front, and there are 30,000 troops on the right wing. If the French army wants to block us, we must have a corresponding number of troops on the Central Front. I estimate that at least 30,000 troops on the left wing of the French army are less than 20,000. Considering that the entire French army should have only 100,000 troops on the Central Front, they invested only 50,000 troops on the Central Front. In addition to more than 10,000 cavalry of Alexander, we still have nearly 30,000 infantry to use.

However, what we are facing is that we had more than 40,000 people on the Central Front but were blocked by the French army because of a swamp. Although the French had fewer troops than us, they used more than 50,000 to fight 30,000. Governor Ventrad reported to us more than once that he could not stand it and asked where the reinforcements were.

Damn it, if it weren't for that swamp, we'd already won!

Alexander obviously understood this truth: "If we want to win, no, we must break through that swamp to win if we want to make sense."

I asked, "What about the right wing? What should I do with the right wing?"

"We can only hope that our reinforcements are not too late for Governor Ventrad!"

"It's all I can do. If I had known there was a swamp, I would have sent one legion, but three legions just now!" I regretted.

"Don't be discouraged, we haven't lost yet!"

"Well." I called a group of messengers, "You three go to find General Torosidis. The time for them is up to them. I want them to break through the defense line set up by the French in the swamp no matter what. No, it is necessary to break through their defense line. You fifteen people, no matter who finds the 19th Spartan Legion and the 61st Spartan Legion, the 63rd and 64th four Spartan Legion, tell them to stop the attack, carry out combat reorganization, collect artillery to provide cover for General Torosidis! Once General Torosidis successfully seizes the French defense line, they will rescue our right wing from the back, but remember to bring the artillery that accompany the army, consolidate the front first and then launch an attack. The 19th Spartan Legion and the 61st Spartan Legion do not need to attack, defend that swamp."

Seeing these messengers quickly recording my orders with pencils, I asked, "Do you understand?"

"Understood!"

While ordering the infantry to attack, I no longer hide the cavalry. Two thousand cavalry attacked from our east wing, that is, the left wing, and attacked the French army. The four thousand cavalry divided into two, destroyed the French artillery positions from the central battlefield, and urgently dispatched 4,000 people from Alexander to our west wing to support the Governor Ventra.

Alexander looked at the dress and smiled, "You are like a child like this. If you are beaten and get hurt, you will take revenge hard."

"But only in this way can Duke Vandom be deceived!"

My order means that Torosidis, who was the main attacker this time, and the soldiers from Hungary, would have to bear a lot of casualties. But under my nose, the army capable of attacking this way is the 33rd Spartan Army, which is the 33rd Spartan Army. Do you want me to send the 33rd Spartan Army [Regiment]? But the 33rd Spartan Army is so far away, and I don’t know how much time it takes to walk over. Now the closest to it is Torosidis’s troops. I originally just wanted to let them make a symbolic charge and save their honor!

At 1:24 noon, continuous fierce artillery fired across the sky. News came from the Governor Ventra. After an hour of fierce fighting, another legion was defeated. Now he was left with only the 16th Spartan Legion and a newly-soldier Legion defending the enemy. If reinforcements do not come, the French will open the road to the west!

By 2 o'clock, the French army added a new weight to the balance of the Battle of Horabrun. On our right wing, our scouts saw the French iris flare vaguely flashing out. A large number of cavalry were rushing towards the battlefield, and followed by the French horse-riding artillery company, and the vanguard troops of the Duke of Luxembourg arrived.

I have received news here that the French people over there are no reason not to know about this situation.

Sure enough, even the cannons of the sky could not hide the huge cheers of the French, one after another, but they did not know that cheers did not mean that hope would truly come.
Chapter completed!
