King's Landing in France

Chapter 262 Generous Sacrifice is Today
Perhaps Lazar Kano also enjoyed Frost's surprised expression, so he stopped after speaking.

An Ning was shocked and complained: 70 people, not seven columns, this is really overwhelming the world.

Then his thoughts went to a side road without any accident, he was thinking: Damn, 70 people, and there are seven columns, why are these things that conquer the world are related to the number seven?
Is this also the will of Seven?
An Ning was amused by the unexpected digression of her own thinking. Everything is under the control of the factory manager, right? This can be abducted to the factory manager. I suggest checking the ingredients—oh, I abducted it by myself, so it’s okay.

An Ning finally recovered from the shock (wandering), and then rubbed her hands and asked, "So can I F2A, that is, I can swarm up and kill the coalition forces?"

Lazar Kano shook his head: "No, in the current chaotic situation, we should not be able to organize the logistics to supply such a large army. My suggestion is to let the reorganized troops from various places attack the enemy nearby , those who are close to the coalition will attack the coalition, and those who are close to the rebels will attack the rebels.

"Only relying on the supplies you carry with you can support a battle for a day or two, and return to the city for supplies after the fight."

An Ning: "What do you mean?"

"It's just to let the troops fight on their own with the supplies they carry with them. Anyway, with such a large number, the coalition forces probably don't have a good way."

An Ning touched her face, and then found that there was a beard that was not cleanly shaved, and her hands were prickly.

"Fight on their own, and go home after fighting? This is really the ocean of the people's war. But I think these alone should not be able to defeat the coalition forces, so how many troops can we concentrate on?"

Lazar Kano: "With our current logistical capabilities, I estimate that we can supply about 20 troops for concentrated operations. However, there is still a big problem."

"What's the problem?" An Ning asked, he already had a premonition that there would be a problem.

Kano: "We simply don't have enough orderlies and staff officers. Using so many troops requires an efficient staff department and a staggering number of orderlies."

An Ning: "Don't worry about this, Berthier can handle it."

Kano hesitated: "Berthier? Didn't he just mess up the front line?"

"Yes, this shows that he is not suitable to be the commander-in-chief, but as the chief of staff, his strength is beyond doubt. He will solve the command problem of the 20 army and make the army look like a whole."

Kano: "This... just messed up things and continued to serve as the chief of staff. Will it be unconvincing?"

An Ning asked confidently: "How many people in the army do you think will question my decision?"

Kano stopped talking.

The army has long worshiped An Ning as an idol, especially the patriotic young people who have just been drafted into the army, let alone worship General Frost.

Kano showed a deliberate expression, obviously he had something to say, so An Ning said, "Just say what you want."

Kano: "That's right. Recently I heard a new saying in Paris that you may become the new king of France. After all, you will marry the king's sister..."

An Ning interrupted Kano's words: "The maids of the Versailles Palace also said the same, it's all groundless nonsense. I live in the Versailles Palace only because it is the largest independent building complex in the suburbs, and it can be used as a barracks. The army is basically stationed there."

An Ning paused, and continued: "Besides, you all say that I am the contemporary Caesar, and I also want to be Caesar. Although the emperor will be called Caesar now, what I am talking about here is the original Gaius You Rius Caesar. Not the Augustus one. You should know history too."

Kano nodded: "Yes, although it is not as familiar as Colonel Bonaparte, but yes, I know that Caesar."

An Ning: "Did he become emperor?"

"No, sir."

"That's it."

After speaking, An Ning brought the topic back to the question of sending troops: "How soon can I lead my troops to go out?"

"If it's an army of 20, it will probably take a few days to prepare. If you just plan to lead the army that was originally placed in Paris as the general reserve..."

"Wait a minute!" An Ning interrupted Kano again, "The 20 you just said doesn't include the number of the general reserve team?"

"Yes, there are 20 new troops in Paris, the single city with the most troops in the entire region, followed by Lyon's 5 and..."

"It's fine, you don't need to give me the details, anyway, I can't command these troops. Then, my order is, the general reserve team, don't move!"

Wow, when the general reserve team was set up, I wanted to say this line!

An Ning continued: "Let the newly formed troops in Paris get ready to go, use the fastest speed, and at the same time issue orders to the scattered armies, let them fight on their own, and attack the nearest enemy of the Republic!"

after one day.

Napoleon, who was defending Sedan, was suddenly awakened by the staff officer: "Your Excellency, come and take a look, something has happened!"

Napoleon was sleepy: "What's the big deal? What else could be the big deal, isn't it the enemy attacking the city? What's the matter, didn't you hear the gunfire?"

As soon as the words fell, a cannon shot came.

Napoleon quickly identified shelling outside the city.

"Okay, the Austrians are attacking the city!" Napoleon stood up from the bed while rubbing his hands.

The staff officer said, "No! Something has happened! There is an army outside who doesn't know where it came from, and it is attacking the coalition forces besieging the city!"

Napoleon was overjoyed: "What? Could it be Andy... Your Excellency Frost is here?"

"No, I didn't see the general's commander's flag. It's a force I've never seen before. I can't recognize the military flag. If it weren't for the tricolor flag and our military uniforms, we might all have thought it was the enemy's reinforcements."

Napoleon frowned and looked at the staff officer: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"See for yourself!"

Napoleon pushed away the staff officer, walked out of the room briskly, and climbed up the city wall.

Several staff officers and officers were already looking out with binoculars on the city wall. Napoleon grabbed a binoculars and looked out.

Then he was stunned: "This army...how is it attacking the enemy with skirmish formation?"

Staff officer: "I don't make it."

Another officer said to Napoleon: "Is there a possibility that they did not line up in the attacking line?"

Napoleon frowned: "... Well, the recruits recruited by Lazar... have this possibility."

At this time, there was singing from the French army attacking the coalition forces outside the city. It was a song of Rome.

Napoleon's brain was running fast.

The coalition forces in the outskirts of the city were caught off guard by the sudden appearance of a large number of French troops, and are clearly in chaos now.

Because it is a siege battle, cavalry is useless, so the enemy army outside the city has no cavalry.

No cavalry means no reconnaissance, the enemy is attacked by surprise.

And yesterday, the enemy should have been quite tired after launching an attack on the fortress all day long.

Napoleon suddenly realized that his time to become famous might have come.

"Order, wake up everyone in the fortress! The artillerymen are on their positions immediately!"

In fact, after the sound of cannons outside the city, many defenders of the city woke up and rushed to their positions automatically.

Napoleon: "No, no! We don't want them to go directly to the city wall, let them gather in the central square of the fortress!"

All the troops stationed in the fortress were well-trained troops, so the assembly was completed quickly.

Napoleon stood on a carriage of the logistics department and shouted to the soldiers with incomprehensible faces: "I am now recruiting some volunteers! Now a troop has come from somewhere outside the city and is attacking the coalition forces besieging the city!

"The number of this army may be only [-], or less, and it is obviously untrained, so it can only attack in skirmish formation! However, they still caused the coalition forces to fall into chaos!

"I'm going to recruit some volunteers now, follow me out of the fortress, and take advantage of the chaos to attack the coalition forces besieging the city!

"This is an action with no return, because the city gate will be closed immediately after leaving the city, and then the deputy commander of the fortress will act as an agent!
"I don't know if we will win. It is possible that we will become prisoners of the enemy, or even die in battle. Now, those who want to go with me, take a step forward!"

When Napoleon spoke, the soldiers were already looking at each other, and when they heard his last words, almost—almost all of them took a step forward.

Napoleon: "Courage be with you! Generous death is now! Open the gates!"
