King's Landing in France

Chapter 264 Long Live General Napoleon

Grapeshots swept across the Austrian formation.

Napoleon found himself loving the feeling of his enemies falling in pieces.

"Load!" Napoleon shouted, loading the cannon himself.

The main reason is that the artillery of the defense force of the fortress is all on the fortress, and Napoleon brings out all infantry. These people have not practiced loading and are not as familiar as Napoleon.

But now, no one can express any opinion on the dignified commander actually filling the shells himself. The infantry has all rushed up and fought with the Austrians.

After Napoleon finished loading, he looked up and found that he was nowhere to be found, and all his people were mixed with the Austrian army.

He should be lucky to be able to fire that shot just now.

"Mother Xipi!" Napoleon cursed in Corsican dialect, pulled up the flag next to the cannon that had just been planted, and rushed towards the crowd in the melee.

The soldiers who had just been operating the cannon with him followed closely behind him.

A panicked Austrian army charged at Napoleon, only to be kicked down.

"Your foot is not stable!" Napoleon was very excited, and he stabbed the fallen Austrian army with the tail of the flagpole in his hand.

Napoleon: "Fight them head-to-head! For France! Damn, why are they so strong? Normally, they should retreat at this time!"

Napoleon's impression of hand-to-hand combat is different from that of other European generals. Others have the impression that the moment the bayonet sees red, the winner is usually determined, and there is no real knife and gun in hand-to-hand combat for a few 10 minutes.

Napoleon's impression was that if the French army rushes up to fight for 10 minutes, the enemy should be defeated. If the French army is the defender, it should last longer, but generally the battle will end within 10 minutes.

This is the case in Italy. The French army generally fights hand-to-hand for more than a dozen or 10 minutes before the enemy collapses. The French army defends the enemy and generally lasts for three to four 10 minutes.

At this moment, Napoleon suddenly heard the horn sounding from the Austrian army, which should be the horn of the charge.

He was startled, as if he was experiencing something incredible: "Not only did the Austrian army not retreat, but they dared to attack our army?"

The Attack, as if the Austrian army was about to suffocate, gave it a big breath of air.

Encouraged by the charge, the already declining Austrian army continued to fight hand-to-hand with the French army.

Napoleon saw a tall, lanky general riding through the melee, slashing and shouting.

Napoleon rushed to the general with the French flag.

The general also saw Napoleon, he immediately turned his horse's head and came galloping!

Napoleon thought to himself: This is how things should be. When the stalemate was stalemate, I cut down the enemy's generals and became the last straw that overwhelmed the situation!
Like the heroes of every song!

Napoleon let go of his legs and ran wildly, facing the charging horse.

At this time, a gap suddenly appeared in the hazy sky, and a beam of skylight came down.

The skylight fell just between Napoleon and the general, like a follow spotlight in a drama.

It seemed that someone in the sky was watching the battle, and then marked the stage with this beam of skylight.

The Austrian general riding his horse shouted: "It is Karl Ludwig Johann Lorenz who will kill you! Austrian general, Duke of Cieschen, third brother of the emperor!"

Napoleon also shouted: "Napoleon Bonaparte, I am from Corsica!"

It's not that he doesn't want to talk about a dicky title, like "Lord Frost's best friend and student, contemporary follower of Caesar" or something, but there's no time.

In an instant, Napoleon fell to his knees, and at the same time thrust the long flagpole into the chest of the oncoming horse.

Because the power of the impact was too great, the flagpole broke all of a sudden.

The horse, unable to stop its forward momentum, rolled forward and fell sideways after hitting its head on the ground.

The knight's saber has also been swung out, no matter how you look at it, it should be an ending for both sides——

However, at this time, a key factor played a decisive role.

Napoleon was shorter.

The saber passed across his forehead.

Archduke Karl fell off his horse and grabbed the ground with his head.

Napoleon threw away the broken flagpole, switched the long knife he was holding to his right hand, and rushed to the fallen Austrian general.

Then he found that there was no need to fight, and the fallen Austrian general had passed out.

Napoleon tore off the ribbon on his body - this ribbon is the proof of the royal family.

He put the ribbon on the point of the knife and held it high.

"Austrians, your general is dead!"

However, no one noticed on the chaotic battlefield, so Napoleon pulled over the French army who had just stabbed the bayonet into the chest of the Austrians: "Come on, I am your commander, shout with me: Austrians, your general will fight!" died!"

The soldier then shouted.

Then more and more French troops began to shout.

The Austrian stopped in astonishment and looked at this side.

Napoleon finally realized a key problem: the Austrian nobles understand French, but the big soldiers don't!
The big soldier is very confused now.

Just at this moment, Napoleon saw a fallen Austrian officer who seemed to be still alive, so he pulled him up: "Let me ask you, how do you say 'Austrians, your general is dead' in German?"

The Austrian spat on Napoleon's face, and then saw the ribbon on Napoleon's sword, so he immediately showed a desperate expression and said "your general is dead" in German.

Napoleon immediately parroted: "Austrians, your general is dead!"

The surrounding French also shouted: "Your general is dead!"

After a while, the entire French army, no matter whether they were from the fortress or came to help, shouted: "Your general is dead!"

Because German and French belong to different language families, the French pronunciation is weird, but it is enough for people to understand what it means.

The fighting stopped in an instant, the French were shouting, and the Austrians, like a wind-up toy that had finally run out of spring, all stopped.

Napoleon was happy when he suddenly heard a noise around him, and turned around to see the fallen Austrian general getting up.

He hurriedly punched Carl in the face.

Poor Archduke Karl has fallen again.

Napoleon's face was crooked, because the punch just now was too hard and hit the joints of his hands.

The biggest injury to Napoleon Bonaparte by the Austrians in the whole battle came from the face of their commander, Archduke Karl!
At this time, the Austrians dropped their guns one after another and raised their hands high.

The French army burst into overwhelming cheers.

Excited soldiers rushed to Napoleon, lifted him up, and threw him high into the sky.

Someone shouted: "Long live the Colonel!"

"What colonel, long live the general!"

"Long live the General!"

"Long live General Napoleon Bonaparte!"
