Chapter 347
On An Ning's side, he had been running all night, and when he was about to arrive in Stuttgart, an orderly ran up to him.

The messenger was not polite, and shouted from a distance: "The enemy is in Ulm! The First Army is attacking Ulm!"

An Ning was stunned: "What the hell, this Napoleon is too underestimating the enemy, he will suffer!"

As soon as the words fell, an old sergeant in the troop that was walking quickly shouted in a thick voice: "The enemy is in Ulm! Napoleon has already attacked, brothers, can you let him take all the battle achievements?"

The French soldiers, who were a little tired from running, shouted together: "No!"

Then the marching speed of the French soldiers accelerated significantly!
An Ning watched all this happen, her mouth opened wide.

Berthier next to him was still laughing: "Oh, is this the subjective initiative of the citizen soldiers that your Excellency said!"

An Ning: "Um, yes, this is what I mean by subjective initiative!"

**
While An Ning's main force was running until his shoes almost fell off, Murat met the Prussian local garrison on the upper reaches of the Danube.

Murat put away the binoculars, turned her head and said to the cavalry behind her: "Our task is to feint, so when we charge later, we must charge with the momentum of millions of soldiers behind us.

"All listen to the order, Wall Array!"

The trumpeter immediately blew the score of the wall array.

The cavalry were well-trained, and the formation was completed in a few minutes.

Murat: "Forward!"

Only one brigade of French cavalry rushed along the Danube river bank to the Austrian troops who were still changing formation, like huge waves flooding the beach.

Alvinzi, like many old gentlemen, got up early in the morning.

When the marshal pushed open the window, the genius was dimly lit.

As usual, the Marshal took his two old dogs and walked around accompanied by several guards. When he returned to the headquarters, the simple breakfast had already been brought to the table by the old servants.

"John," the marshal called to the old servant, "the sun is shining today, and it will be a fine day."

"Yes, Your Excellency the Marshal."

At this time, the Chief of Staff of the Austrian Army and a group of senior officers arrived.

Alvinzi glanced at the officers, and asked casually, "Has His Highness Karl left?"

"He set off at dawn this morning, and he didn't even notify the cavalry assigned to him." The chief of staff said, "I immediately sent the cavalry to chase the Grand Duke after I found out."

"Well, good. Where's the investigative report from this morning?"

"Everything is normal and very quiet everywhere," replied the chief of staff. "I think we still have a few days to continue to strengthen the existing positions."

Alvin Qi nodded again and again: "Very good, very good, His Royal Highness Karl wants us to take the initiative. He was defeated only once in Sedan, and he still doesn't understand the advantages of the French army in field battles. We will stay here. The Danube belongs to Austria. Mother River, it will protect us!"

At this time, an orderly rushed in and whispered something in the ear of the chief of staff.

Alvinzi immediately became serious: "What's wrong?"

"A large number of French cavalry has appeared on the upper reaches of the Danube, and at least one division of cavalry is attacking our army. Our defenses have been defeated." The chief of staff replied.

Alvinzi stood up immediately: "Sure enough, the main attack direction is on the upper reaches of the Danube! Stuttgart is just feigning! Order all the troops to stick to the main points and stay behind closed doors! Use space and fortifications to delay the French army!"

The chief of staff hesitated for a moment, and asked worriedly: "In this way, our army has formed a long snake formation along the Danube River, will it be broken by the French army one by one?"

Alvin Qi shook his head: "The French army wants us to fight with them in the field, and then use their superb hand-to-hand combat ability to defeat us! No one can defeat the French army in the wild. They can fight hand-to-hand for three hours without retreating. We can't do this point!
"So we have to rely on fortifications. Some troops will be sacrificed, and the French army will also consume a lot of their own strength in the process of destroying them. Our army is superior in strength! Fight hard and stay silent. Use this A tactic of iron and steel to exhaust the French army!"

The officers looked at each other, and then a colonel said: "But those troops who were sacrificed... They don't like this plan. What if there are more troops wiped out and our army is shaken?"

"This is the beauty of the fortifications. Even a frightened soldier can squat behind the fortifications and fire his guns." Alvinzi has no intention of changing his tactics, "Gentlemen, as long as we stand firm, There will be a way!"

At this moment, another messenger ran into the room in a panic, and shouted directly: "Marshal, the French army! The French army has appeared!"

Alvinzi: "Where?"

"Just across the Danube!"

La Salle stood on the hill, looking at the Danube in front of him with a telescope.

"They didn't demolish the bridge first!" He said in surprise, "Why? Don't they know that the First Army has arrived in Stuttgart?"

La Salle's deputy shrugged: "I don't know."

"Forget it, it's meaningless to think about why the enemy didn't respond. Brothers, draw your swords out of their sheaths, and it's time to perform meritorious deeds. There are three bridges on the river, and we will only attack the middle one!"

The trumpeter asked, "Is it the trumpet blowing on the wall?"

"How is it possible, they will be huddled together before they get on the bridge. Wedge formation! I will lead the charge!"

After speaking, Lasalle drew out his saber and rushed out first. The trumpeters behind him ran along and blew the horns of the wedge formation.

The entire cavalry brigade quickly unfolded into an elongated arrow, rushing down the hillside.

There were still some Austrian troops along the way, but as soon as they saw the eagle flag following La Salle, they immediately collapsed.

They shouted in German: "It's Rome, the Roman legions are coming!"

La Salle couldn't understand German, so he laughed: "I bet they called the Roman Legion!"

La Salle, who took the lead, rushed onto the deck of the wooden bridge. At this moment, he suddenly remembered the poem praising the Roman hero Horatius that Frost liked very much, so he shouted: "Is there anyone to stop our army?" Where is your Horatius, Austrian!"

The Austrian soldiers on the bridge expressed that they could not understand French, so they turned around and ran away.

La Salle caught up with a flag-raising man, and chopped down the man and the flag with one knife.

The fall of the flag directly led to the collapse of another section of the Austrian army guarding the bridge.

This group of people was really scared by the French army. It was the courage given by the fortifications to be able to release the first round of guns.

The French cavalry surged across the wooden bridge mightily.

La Salle held his horse's head and shouted at the soldiers who were still chasing the Austrian army: "Stop! Don't go deep! We still have to guard the bridge! The First Army's team will arrive in an hour, and we have to go to the bridge." hold on!"

 There is one more.I had diarrhea today and ran to the toilet a few times during the codeword.
