King's Landing in France

Chapter 200 From now on, you can call Wu Paopao
La Salle looked at the Austrian camp suspiciously.

"What the hell? Why are they burning tents?"

Generally, burning camp tents is only used when the military situation is urgent and it is too late to withdraw the camp slowly.

In front of La Salle, the entire Adige valley was filled with thick smoke from the burning of the Austrian tents.

There was so much smoke that Lasalle could hardly see the movements of the Austrian army clearly.

At this time, La Salle finally remembered that he should report this change to General Frost.

He continued to observe the movements of the Austrian army only after the messenger sent by Lasalle disappeared into the snowy field at lightning speed.

The snow melted by burning camp tents flowed into the Adige River, which made the river rush a lot in the dry season.

La Salle looked at it for a long time, and finally confirmed one thing: "Austrians, you are going to run away! Why?"

**
An Ning: "Why? Why are they running away?"

In the town of Rivoli, An Ning, who just arrived late last night, loudly questioned the staff officers around him in the newly established headquarters.

Napoleon: "Has Davout been discovered?"

An Ning: "It shouldn't be. Davout is very serious. He will definitely report if he is found. Since there is no report yet, Davout, who is competing with the university in the northern mountains, should not have been discovered by the Austrians."

There was another heavy snowfall last night, and the mountains between Mount San Marco and Lake Garda should become more difficult to walk. At the same time, it also means that it is difficult for the enemy's reconnaissance to hide themselves in this direction.

After all, reconnaissance in this era is mainly done by cavalry, and light infantry can also do reconnaissance, but it is not common, after all, no matter how fast light infantry can run on two legs.

In snow-covered mountains, cavalry targets are large and easy to spot,

Davout could not have failed to notice the enemy's reconnaissance. After all, he was Davout, not a madman like La Salle, nor a guy like Masséna who would occasionally lose the chain.

That's Davout.

So the question is, Davout was not found, why did the enemy run away?

La Salle came back with news that Marshal Wumze even burned the tent.

The productivity of this era has not yet reached the point where the materials for tents can be ignored. Even in a big country like Shinra, it takes a lot of time to equip a tent for an army of tens of thousands of people.

The Austrians burned their tents, which means that they think the situation has reached a very urgent time and they must act as soon as possible.

An Ning faced the map: "Why? Why did the enemy run?"

He turned to look at Napoleon: "What do you think? Why did they run?"

Napoleon spread his hands: "You don't know, how would I know, Andy!"

Nonsense, you are Napoleon, one of the greatest military strategists of this era!That's why I asked you!

An Ning looked at Napoleon speechlessly.

Napoleon also looked at him speechlessly. It is estimated that Napoleon's current thinking is a copy of An Ning: You are the greatest military strategist of this era, Andy!You don’t even know about the one that doesn’t have one, so why ask me?

An Ning wanted to help her forehead.

He wanted to complain about Napoleon: Don't worship me blindly, I can play Total War at most, StarCraft will only urbanize, and Panzer Corps 2 will only use the core force of the fork to open Wushuang .

I studied artillery at the Military Academy in Paris, and later I gave lectures at the Military Academy on mathematics!
I am really asking for your opinion sincerely!

Napoleon and An Ning stared at each other for a few seconds, then sighed: "Perhaps the Austrians misunderstood the strength of our army. You see, Lannes firmly blocked them from the west, and then Massena to the south Facing a superior enemy and launched an offensive, perhaps the commanders on both sides of the enemy overestimated the number of enemy troops in front of them."

An Ning touched his chin: "You mean, Wu Muze got wrong information, which led to a misjudgment of our army's strength, so he retreated?"

Napoleon shrugged: "I'm just speculating. As for the truth, we can only wait for war historians to judge. The key is how we should react in this situation."

An Ning looked at the map, pondered for a moment, pointed to the Adige Valley and said: "We will go north along the valley. Since the enemy has run away, we will catch up. Our principle is that when the enemy advances, we retreat, when the enemy retreats, we advance, and when the enemy garrisons If I harass, if the enemy is tired, I will fight!"

An Ning was careless again, and used the words of her idol.

Napoleon: "Oh! That's great."

At this moment, Berthier opened the door and came in: "What's good?"

An Ning: "How is the situation of the troops?"

"The troops are in very good condition, morale is high and supplies are adequate. The troops are eating breakfast now."

An Ning: "You immediately arrange your troops to prepare for departure."

"To the north mountains?" asked Berthier.

An Ning: "No, it won't be possible to deploy more troops in the mountains. Go to the Adige Valley. When you went to check the status of the troops just now, the news came."

An Ning handed Berthier the dispatch from La Salle on the table.

Berthier glanced and frowned directly: "Why? Why did the enemy run away? Davout was discovered? It shouldn't be. Although the height of Mount San Marco is not too high, it is very steep. This kind of heavy snow is very difficult. Difficult to climb."

The implication is that the enemy in the valley is unlikely to send scouts to see Davout's troops on Mount San Marco between the mountains to the north.

An Ning: "I don't know, the enemy retreated anyway. We are going to chase along the Adige Valley, so that after Davout surrounds Trent and stops the enemy, we can block the enemy's buttocks. In this way, the enemy will be caught in the eastern mountains and Mount San Marco."

The so-called eastern mountain range is actually a part of the Alps, with an altitude of more than 1000 meters and is very steep. Only those old hunters can climb up and down this kind of mountain.

The big troops couldn't leave at all, not to mention it was still snowing.

As for Mount San Marco, Berthier just said that the mountain is not high, but it is steeper and very difficult to climb.

Mount San Marco, which is close to the Rivoli Terrace, is relatively easy to climb. There is a small church on the mountain, and further north, the Alps are in the north. Difficult to climb.

As long as the enemy is blocked in the Adige Valley, it is basically completely rounded.

Berthier: "I'm going to get the troops moving."

Buzz had just shaken off his morning sleepiness when the order to march came.

"Why are you marching again?" He frowned and asked the bearded man, "Didn't you say to fight the Austrians here?"

The bearded man smiled and said, "It looks like the Austrians have been scared away by General Frost! Now we're going to chase their asses away!"

Yes, the soldiers didn't know anything about military affairs. In their opinion, if the Austrians didn't come, they were scared away by General Frost.

It's that simple.

Buzz showed a longing expression: "It's so powerful!"

"That's not true! When I went to the French bartender to ask for a drink yesterday, I heard a piece of news. Do you know how General Frost defeated 1 people with 4 people?" The bearded man looked mysterious asked, and then took a sip of alcohol, spraying a puff of alcohol into Buzz's face.

Buzz held his nose and wanted to stay away. The bearded wine smell was mixed with the smell of rancid leftovers, which made him want to vomit, but he couldn't help being curious: "Tell me, how did you defeat it?"

"It was Your Excellency the General who personally chopped off 1 heads and defeated the enemy forcefully!" the bearded man said seriously, "That's what the French army said!"

Baz couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear: "This...is amazing!"

"That's right, so look at those old French nobles, the revolution was their lives, and they came to serve the general in loyalty! It's because of the general's peerless bravery!"

Buzz turned his head to look at the flags of the Sunset Knights, and the gray uniforms that symbolized the glory of old France.

"That's great." The young man whispered.
