King's Landing in France

Chapter 135
On An Ning's side, it was two days after he received the news of the king's escape, and the result of the king's escape also came along with him.

Louis XVI, he has joined General Bouille at the border, that is to say, the king has escaped successfully!

History has been completely derailed.

An Ning originally thought that Lafayette's dispatch of troops would not affect the result of the king's escape. After all, the king's escape was at his own risk. He rode in a very luxurious super carriage, and got out of the carriage as soon as he stopped everywhere. In the end, he was killed. The conscious revolutionary masses found out, and then bet on the border.

It stands to reason that this has nothing to do with Lafayette and should not be affected.

However, the status quo is that Wang Run has succeeded.

Maybe there are many random factors affecting the success rate of the king's escape?
Even though the king had fled, Lafayette still drove towards Konta aggressively. Maybe Lafayette felt that the king just ran to General Bouille, and General Bouille was his friend, so it wasn't What a big deal.

On August 1791, 8, Anning received a report from cavalry reconnaissance that Lafayette's forward was less than 10 kilometers away from Konta.

So An Ning also led the army to set off.

He led the troops to camp near the previously selected decisive battlefield, and then led a group of officers to wait for Lafayette's arrival beside the beeches on the top of the mountain.

"I see!" Davout was the first to spot the enemy, pointing forward, "Look, over there!"

An Ning quickly raised the binoculars and looked in the direction Dawu pointed.

Sure enough, a troop flying the tricolor appeared on the horizon.

Lazar Kano: "Looking at the location of this appearance, he really chose to camp in the place we have explored before."

An Ning: "Berthier is a scrupulous person, he will choose the most textbook approach."

Then An Ning turned his head and said to Jean Lana, who made an exception and mixed in with the officer team: "The enemy is camping, and it's up to you tonight. Since the enemy sent troops, the teaching team has been eating vegetables rich in vitamins, just for today's battle .”

Lana asked suspiciously, "What are vitamins?"

Only then did An Ning realize that she had slipped her tongue.But he evaded it directly: "It's not important, you will definitely not suffer from night blindness tonight, I'm waiting for the news of your successful sneak attack."

Lana saluted: "Leave it to me, and make sure to complete the task."

Davout: "The enemy's cavalry is coming towards us."

In fact, after An Ning and the others arrived at this position, they saw the enemy's cavalry more than once.

But these reconnaissance hussars did not attack An Ning and his party who were waiting in full force, they just took a look from a distance and left.

After all, An Ning had a brigade of soldiers occupying the barn, mill and surrounding low stone walls, which was quite tricky for the small cavalry.

But this time, there was about a brigade of cavalry coming this way, which looked like a vast expanse.

An Ning turned his head and ordered to the artillery next to him: "Target the enemy cavalry, fire!"

So the artillery assigned to the [-]st Brigade fired.

Six twelve-pounder infantry guns belched flame and smoke.

Napoleon: "This distance is too far. Unless you are lucky, you will miss it at all."

An Ning also saw the artillery shells fall far in front of the enemy cavalry, bouncing in the wheat field like floating water.

However, the shelling cannot be said to have no effect. The horses in the front row of the cavalry were obviously frightened, and many shook their heads uneasily.

The forward momentum of the cavalry also stopped.

Soon, the cavalry who had let go of their horseshoes and ran towards this side slowed down and finally turned their horses.

Davout: "Seeing that we have cannons, we will not go forward. The people who lead this cavalry team are very cautious."

Napoleon: "There are cannons, and they are [-]-pound cannons, which means that the luggage has already arrived, and it is not a small group of troops that hastily rushed to garrison. The enemy's purpose of reconnaissance has been achieved, so it is normal to go back home."

At this time, Ms. Oliver of the cavalry unit rode up the hill with several cavalry officers.

"Our reconnaissance unit is back, and we are facing the main force of Lafayette," Oliver reported. "There are ten regiments directly in front of the flag, and Lafayette's main team is behind."

An Ning: "Understood. It seems that all the enemies will camp in front of us, Lana, your troops will leave after dinner."

Lana saluted, turned and left.

An Ning: "Okay, the artillery has ceased fire! The smoke is almost blocking our sight."

Napoleon: "Cease fire, cease fire!"

At this time, the air was already full of the smell of gunpowder smoke, and the white smoke drifted forward with the wind.

Davout: "Marching at night, before the drum beats, it would be nice to be able to reach the enemy's camp."

An Ning: "Trust them. Of course, we didn't bet our hope of victory on the sneak attack. Even if the sneak attack fails, we will defeat the enemy on this hill tomorrow."

After speaking, An Ning turned his head and asked Lazar Kano, "What is the name of this mountain?"

Kano: "It's called Mill Hill."

An Ning: "Mill Mountain? Is it so simple and straightforward?"

"That's right. I've asked my fellow villagers, and some people call it Old Tree Hill. But most of them call it Mill Hill."

An Ning pouted.The Great Victory at Mill Mountain sounds like a victory of the same level as "The Great Victory at Small Coal Mountain".

This is too imposing.

An Ning: "From today onwards, this mountain will be called Dingjun Mountain."

An Ning's translation plug-in translated Dingjunshan into Latin, and it immediately became much more handsome.

Lazar Cano: "Okay, I'll put it on the map."

**
At this time, Lafayette had just entered his camp.

Marquis Roland galloped over on his horse and saluted Lafayette: "General, we found the handsome flag suspected to be Frost, it's on the hill ahead!"

Lafayette immediately turned his head and looked towards the hillside ahead.

Because the distance was too far, I could barely see the smoke from the cannon fire on the hillside.

He took out the telescope, pulled it out to the longest, and aimed it at the hillside.

"There is indeed a flag. So this place is the battlefield chosen by Frost? Huh, I want to admire his courage. He dared to come out to fight in the wilderness with such a huge disadvantage!" Lafayette said disdainfully , "In the New World back then, Kang Huali's disadvantage was not as great as this one, and he had already chosen to defend the city. This arrogant guy, tomorrow, he will pay the price for his arrogance!"

Marquis Roland: "My cavalry tried to charge, but the enemy fired immediately. It seems that they are going to hold on to the mill on the top of the mountain."

Lafayette: "Let him stick to it! In the face of this kind of superiority in strength, a small amount of geographical advantage cannot affect the progress of the war! Order the troops to have extra meals tonight!"
