King's Landing in France

Beethoven's troops crossed the river relatively late.

He vaguely knew that the troops were singing when they crossed the pontoon bridge, but the singing seemed to be coming from far away, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't hear it clearly.

A moment of despondency engulfed him again.

But Frost's encouragement is like a guiding light, dispelling all the haze.

Strangling the throat of fate, what an inspiring words!
Beethoven silently strengthened his determination and beat the drums harder.

Although he couldn't hear his own drum, he could infer the general melody from the singing of the soldiers, and then adjust the beat of the drum to match the melody.

The long pontoon bridge came to an end, and Beethoven stepped onto the land on the other side, and then he saw a group of people riding horses standing by the river from a distance.

Although Beethoven couldn't see the rider's face clearly because of the darkness, he guessed that it was probably General Frost.

His mood suddenly rose.

The generals have scored another victory!Sure enough, he is the symbol of victory, the contemporary Caesar!He will definitely bring changes to France, no, to the whole of Europe!

In this high-pitched mood, a melody suddenly appeared in Beethoven's mind.It's a song of praise, no doubt about it.

At this moment, Beethoven decided on the name of this new song that had not yet been born: Eroica Symphony!
This is a tribute to heroes all over Europe!

An Ning suddenly sneezed.

Berthier immediately became alert: "Your Excellency? Why don't you go back to the tent, it's not good to be cold..."

An Ning: "Nothing, I bet some Austrian is scolding me. It may be Prince Schwarzenberg."

After speaking, he laughed.

He smiled, and all the staff, including Berthier, laughed.

Amidst the laughter, La Salle galloped over on horseback and saluted An Ning: "I asked my boys to add fire to the Austrians. We set fire to the Allied camps on the river bank, and now the enemy is running around Woolen cloth!"

An Ning: "You did a good job! But the night is too dark, and the cavalry is prone to wear and tear. We should wait until dawn before chasing and annihilating the enemy."

The cavalry moved at night, and the horse was prone to tripping over things. Once tripping, the horse might be useless.

There is a shortage of horses in France now, because most of the horse breeders in the past were aristocrats, but now the aristocrats are killed and run away, and there are not many decent horse farms in the whole of France.

Therefore, the cavalry troops in the hands of the Republic are all non-renewable consumables, and if they are lost, they will be gone.

This lack of horses also occurred in the original history. It was precisely because of the lack of cavalry that the Republic Army had to use a large number of skirmishers to perform reconnaissance tasks that should have been performed by cavalry.

Therefore, the French army's tradition of using skirmishers in the era of the Great Revolution is also related to the lack of horses.

It turns out that in history, the shortage of horses did not improve until 1796.

As for the history here, An Ning doesn't know when there will be enough horses.In short, it is correct to use cavalry units carefully.

La Salle was a little dissatisfied with An Ning's order: "Your Excellency, now is the time to capture prisoners and make achievements. Are you letting my boys let go of the achievements that are about to be obtained?"

An Ning: "Yes, that's what I mean. In order to gain merit, breaking the horse's leg is not worth the loss. Now we are very short of horses!"

La Salle sighed: "Okay, I'm going to give orders to my boys now, and give the credit to the infantry brothers."

After speaking, Lasalle turned his horse's head and rode away in a hurry.

Berthier: "That's how you can order him."

An Ning: "When I'm not around, you should order him. Your rank is higher than him, and your position in the chain of command is higher than him. You can't change your position in the chain of command just because of your personal relationship with me. "

Berthier: "I'm afraid you'll have to remind him."

An Ning: "I will remind him!"

When it was almost dawn, the chaos that lasted all night finally came to an end.

Berthier reported last night's results to An Ning: "Our army completely defeated the Austrian Fourth Army last night. The enemy's commander is Prince Schwarzenberg, and no one knows the whereabouts of the Prince.

"Our army captured a total of 7000 Austrian soldiers, including about 800 officers..."

An Ning: "There are a little few officers."

Berthier: "Most of the senior officers have horses, and they should all run away. We don't count officers like non-commissioned officers."

An Ning: "Understood, do you still plan to deal with these captives in the original way?"

Berthier frowned and looked at An Ning suspiciously.

In this era, the enemy soldiers were captured, and they were usually sent back after turning around.

That's why it happened in the past, Napoleon won many victories and won many battles, but when he turned around, the enemy grew out of the ground again.

Berthier: "What do you mean?"

An Ning: "We need a lot of labor to repair the fortress, and the sewers in Paris should also be repaired. Let these prisoners go to serve corvée."

Berthier: "This... There has never been such a precedent. I am afraid that European countries will catch the excuse..."

"Then let them catch it. Let them exaggerate that the Republic is an evil country, and that I am a damned tyrant. In short, these captives cannot be easily released back. They cannot turn their heads and continue to fight against us."

An Ning paused, and continued: "There are also captured officers, many of whom are nobles, hand them over to the people's court established by the parliament, and punish them!
"We want to completely weaken the power of the anti-French alliance from the source!"

Berthier asked suspiciously: "Anti-French alliance?"

There is no such thing in this era, and the current alliance between Prussia, Austria, and the Kingdom of Sardinia is not called the Anti-French Alliance.

An Ning: "Yes, the Anti-French Alliance, Prussia, Austria, and the Kingdom of Sardinia formed a de facto alliance against us, I call them the Anti-French Alliance!
"Because of our progress and revolution, the reactionary forces of the whole of Europe are united. Have no illusions about them!"

An Ning paused, and then said resolutely: "So, we want to weaken the enemy from the root, so these captives are all sent to Paris, and let them dig Paris's sewers under the supervision of bayonets!

"And for these captured officers, the best place for them to go is the guillotine!"

One day in March 1793, the city of Paris was full of joy.

Today, the people in the city flocked out of their homes to watch the great gift that General Frost presented to the whole city: a total of [-] Austrian prisoners!
The citizens of Paris watched the big gift sent by His Excellency the General beamingly, praising the General's prestige.

If all the musicians and bards in the city hadn't joined the army and become military musicians, they would definitely have composed some songs in praise of the general.

It was from this day that the Parisians firmly believed that General Frost would completely wipe out the coalition forces that invaded France and bring the glory of victory to the Republic!
