King's Landing in France

Chapter 274 The disintegration of the monarchy begins with their army

An Ning was greatly surprised by the appearance of this cavalry unit.

The French army is currently very short of cavalry—mainly horses. Most of the horse farmers in the countryside are nobles. Many horse farmers have a good relationship with the nobles, so many of them are now directly rebelling against the royal party.

The current cavalry of the French army are all former cavalry units that tended to be republican and then joined the National Guard. The newly formed cavalry units are basically zero, and the existing cavalry units are also non-renewable resources. If a horse dies, one horse will be lost.

The problem of lack of cavalry in the French Revolutionary Army was not alleviated to a certain extent until around 1795. At that time, the Jacobins adopted a policy of terror and cleared the obstacles to the implementation of reform policies such as land distribution. The economy also began to recover. Most of the rebellions in the countryside Calm down, the supply of horses begins.

Of course, this is the historical situation. Now, because of An Ning's intervention, the horse problem of the revolutionary army has been alleviated to a certain extent. The main south is relatively stable, and Milan, Italy, can be raised from Italy.

While thinking about this, An Ning watched the cavalry who came out of nowhere and launched a brave back charge.

The Prussians collapsed directly, and the cavalry began to chase the scattered Prussian army all over the mountains and plains.

An Ning's infantry also seemed unwilling to admit defeat. They wanted to compete with the cavalry to capture prisoners, and they were also chasing the enemy all over the mountains and plains.

When the whole scene was in chaos, An Ning saw two cavalrymen running towards him against the flow of the enemy chasing them.

The cavalry at the head looked like an officer, and the cavalry running behind held a flag.

It should be the brigade flag of this cavalry unit.

The two knights came before An Ning, and the leading officer saluted him: "I salute you, Your Excellency General Frost!"

An Ning returned the salute: "I salute you. May I ask who you are?"

Officer: "My name is Michel Ney, and I am acting commander of this hussar regiment."

An Ning was overjoyed when he heard the name, and felt the pleasure of winning the SSR in a single draw. If there was a chat group or something at this time, he would definitely post a screenshot of Nei's expression in the group: "Mengxin won this in the single draw. Excuse me." use it?"

An Ning: "Oh, it's Major Ney..."

"Uh, I'm just a captain. According to the order of the Ministry of War, I'm acting as the head of the regiment to command everyone. I haven't been promoted to the rank yet."

An Ning: "Captain Ney, you have done a very good job. In order to reward you for your military exploits today, you are now a major. I will ask the Ministry of War to issue an official document."

Ney saluted.

An Ning continued to give instructions: "Although your brigade has just experienced battle, there is no time for you to rest. I order you to immediately gather your brigade and head towards Verdun to search for the enemy's scout cavalry. Completely block the enemy's reconnaissance. "

Ney: "I'll do it right away."

After speaking, he turned the horse's head, kicked the horse's belly, and the war horse let go of its hooves and galloped.

An Ning turned his head and gave Berthier an order: "Tell the troops to stop chasing the defeated enemies, rest on the spot, eat dry food, and fill up the kettle. Today we will continue to march."

Berthier: "Do you want to continue marching?"

"Yes, anyway, we don't have time to set up a camp. Instead of letting the soldiers sleep in the wild, it's better to march."

Berthier: "Actually, we have occupied the camp that the enemy has not had time to withdraw. We can take a nap in it and take a nap to recover our strength."

An Ning thought for a while, and felt that as the saying goes, sharpening a knife is not a mistake in chopping firewood, and it is not a bad thing to seize the time to restore the physical fitness of the troops.

So he changed the order: "Five hours on the spot, and continue to set off after five hours. We must be fast! Before the enemy reacts, quickly attack the scattered enemies!"

It was late at night that the Allied Command had a full picture of what had happened: Frost rushed up with a group of French troops.

Alvinzi: "We should immediately mobilize our troops to completely defeat Frost on the frontal battlefield. Now the morale of the French army is so high, it is purely because of Frost's personal reputation. And he is also doing bad things to our army. Due to the influence of ordinary soldiers, he became more and more legendary. We must defeat him once to completely dispel his myth."

Duke of Brunswick: "I agree. Frost has just defeated the Fourth Army, and judging from the way he used the column attack, it is likely that he is trying to avoid the shortcomings of his own troops' lack of training.

"Next, he should camp at the position of the Fourth Army, restore the organization that was completely messed up due to the melee, and clean up the battlefield by the way. It is estimated that we will mobilize the army one day."

Alvin Qi: "We estimate the number of Frost's troops to be between 10 and [-]. In one day, we can gather about [-] troops and deploy them at this location."

Alvinzi gestured on the map.

He seemed to be full of confidence: "We then dispatched the troops that surrounded the Verdun Fortress as a reserve team. These reserve teams should join the battlefield a little later. If the decisive battle is scheduled for two days later, the reserve team will fight Join the battle that afternoon.

"It's just when the final battle has come to an end, whoever puts the last remaining battalion into the battlefield will win!"

Brunswick nodded: "It's a very reasonable plan. Let the staff start working on the map. Our troops are highly trained and professional. They should be mobilized faster than the French army!"

**
An Ning: "The key to action is to be fast! Run as fast as possible before the enemy reacts! So we don't have time to restore the chaotic troops to normal. Let everyone join the troops nearby and obey the command of an unknown officer.

"Anyway, everyone is a revolutionary army, fighting for a common goal. We are not afraid of chaos, and the common belief of fighting for the revolution and the motherland will connect the whole army together!
"The previous cumbersome camping and withdrawal process can also be omitted, and these can be handed over to a special logistics team. The troops don't need to be responsible for camping. They just lie on the ground and rest when they are tired. I believe that their high patriotic enthusiasm can make them overcome this kind of situation. Small difficulty!"

A big reason why the Kingdom's army needs to camp is to let the soldiers sleep in the wild, and maybe a bunch of them will run there overnight.

After all, the army is essentially forced to work by the nobles, not to fight for themselves.

Berthier: "Too contrary to common sense."

"Admit the reality, the times have changed, and the old common sense cannot be used to measure the current French army, my chief of staff."

An Ning paused, and looked at the other officers. Now the brigade commanders of the entire army are gathered at his command post.

"Everyone, this war is a war between a new type of army and an old army. This new army will have completely new characteristics and cannot be measured by the standards of the old army. I boldly predict that they will exceed everyone's expectations. You know. It won’t be long before European countries will have to learn from our military reforms. During the process of military reforms, the ideas of the Great Revolution will be passively exported to other countries!
"The disintegration of the monarchy begins with their army!"
