King's Landing in France

Chapter 204 Paris is in a hurry again
Anning was Lana who met in Brescia two days later.

"My undead grenadier!" he yelled with great joy, and gave Lana a hug.

Lana was a little shy: "It's not a grenadier, they call me undead."

An Ning: "I know."

I'm talking about your nickname in another time and space.

But it is a pity that the Undead Grenadier became the first marshal under Napoleon's command to die in battle.

Lannes had been persuading Napoleon to stop his endless campaigns, but the emperor didn't listen.

As for Lana's current title of Undead, An Ning, as a time traveler, always has the illusion that he is about to start spreading fire.

So An Ning still called him Undead Grenadier, anyway, now that An Ning's reputation is so high, everyone will soon follow him after he calls it that.

Hearing the name An Ning, Napoleon complained: "Grenadiers? I remember that there are no grenadiers in our army yet?"

Yes, An Ning's troops don't have a single grenadier.

An Ning: "I say that because the grenadiers have the attributes of an elite unit."

The most important thing for a grenadier is physical strength, because the grenade in this era is very heavy, just a shot put. It's a big guy.

Although this era has entered the era of firearms, the killing efficiency of firearms is a bit low, and the big-bodied grenadiers still have a huge advantage in hand-to-hand combat.

Therefore, the grenadier units of various countries are basically elite infantry.

Some grenadier units are only honorary titles, but are actually elite infantry units.

So An Ning called Lana a grenadier. In his opinion, it was just a historical meme, but in the eyes of others, it was tantamount to saying that Lana was An Ning's bodyguard.

Therefore, Napoleon came out to complain at this time, which was somewhat of a competition for favor.

So Berthier glanced at Napoleon meaningfully.

However, An Ning didn't know so many intrigues, he was just playing with historical stalks.

A little fun for military history buffs, get it!
After embracing Lana, An Ning turned her eyes to the bandage on Lana's head: "Injured?"

"Yes, the bullet grazed a bit," Laner replied. "It's not a big deal."

An Ning smiled and said, "Now we are the same, I was also grazed by a bullet!"

But because of An Ning's plug-in, the bullet will be fine after a few days of wiping.

Lana's bandage is estimated to last for a few days.

Lana: "By the way, Your Excellency, the method of washing wounds with wine that you recommended is really very useful. We had enough wine for the first two days, but it ran out on the third day. As a result, the casualty rate suddenly increased. visible!

"Obviously on the third day, the Austrians' offense was a little weak."

La Salle joked: "What, you face three or four times the attack of your own enemy, and then you can say something like 'the Austrian attack is a bit weak'! My God, this is against the Austrian The best taunt!"

Rana: "I'm just stating the facts."

"State the facts." Davout shrugged, "Do you know how to use such complicated words?"

Generally speaking, it is impossible for an apprentice in a dyeing workshop to say such polite words as "statement of facts". After all, common people's knowledge is mainly passed through Sunday schools, and these schools do not teach such words at all.

An Ning joked: "Don't worry, immortal dyer, our immortal bald man didn't win the battle this time, he is very resentful!"

The crowd laughed again.

Davout touched his bald head with a slightly embarrassed expression.

Napoleon: "It's just that Andy called Davout bald and he didn't respond. We told him that he blushed a long time ago to argue, 'I just have less hair'!"

Davout spread his hands, and then turned the topic to the battle situation: "To be honest, this time, it was only a small victory. The main force of the Austrians did not suffer any losses at all, while our, Lana's troops are already disabled, and it takes time to recuperate. repair."

Lana: "I can still fight."

An Ning: "No, you can't fight anymore. Your troops are performing very well now, and you deserve time to recuperate. After the celebration banquet is over, you can take your troops back to Milan, and I will send you exchange vouchers, which can be exchanged in Milan's currency What is exchanged for silver coins can also be used directly.

"Enjoy yourselves in Milan for a while. When the reinforcements from China arrive, give priority to replenishing your troops."

Lana: "But the battle is not over yet. Davout also said just now that the main force of the Austrians is still there."

An Ning: "He was venting his anger. He led the troops to climb the mountain for a few days, but the main force of the Austrians had already run back in the city of Trent. He attacked, suffered a lot of losses, and then withdrew."

La Salle interjected: "Our Brigadier General Davout has never been so angry!"

Davout: "In fact, continue to attack. I should be able to take Trent. The morale of our army is high. The Austrians have just retreated from the Adige Valley and are very tired."

An Ning interrupted Davout: "What nonsense are you talking about? What about your logistics?"

The part of Davout's attack was a mountain road, and it was difficult for the truck to walk. Basically, Davout could only rely on the supplies brought by the troops for a day or two, and then he had to retreat.

Trent is a stronghold in the mountains that the Austrians have operated for many years. Although the terrain makes it impossible to build a bastion, it is not an easy task to conquer it.

Therefore, it is undoubtedly the correct decision for An Ning to let Davout retreat.

Davout was silent for a few seconds, then heaved a long sigh: "Yes, your opinion is correct."

"It's really not like you," An Ning said, "I thought you would be as rational and precise as a machine."

Davout: "I was expecting a big win like I didn't lose to Lafayette."

"The desire for victory is good, but you can't lose sight of one because you are too eager for victory. Sometimes, undefeated is more important than a big victory." An Ning taught.

After finishing speaking, he was a little dark, my God, I was actually educating Davout, a figure like the French Valkyrie!

This is the great taste of time travel.

Dawu nodded: "Is undefeated more important than a big victory, I will keep it in mind."

An Ning: "Okay, let's celebrate. The Austrians were defeated. We occupied the line of the Mincio River and surrounded the fortress of Mantua. The situation in Italy is stable and improving. We have sufficient sources of troops and taxes. Next spring, we will definitely win a big battle..."

At this time, a staff officer hurriedly opened the door and came in, whispering a few words in Berthier's ear.

Napoleon noticed this and asked: "What's the matter, Berthier, you look very serious."

Berthier nodded: "Yes, I just got the news that on the Rhine front, the French army was defeated, and the Austrian army pointed directly at Paris."

An Ning's mouth grew wide: "What the hell?"

Paris is in a hurry again?
