King's Landing in France

Chapter 352 Like a Tiger Treats a Cat
On March 3, Anning arrived in Ulm, which was still in contention.

Napoleon was already waiting for him.

In the first sentence, An Ning said: "I didn't expect that you didn't take down this city after fighting for two days."

Napoleon immediately showed his clothes and ate Xiang's expression: "You don't know how disgusting they are. This city has three steps and one barricade, and the roads are full of traffic jams. Every step you take will cost a lot of casualties!"

An Ning: "Barricades?"

"Yes, the barricades, even the Austrian army, which we have bloodyed many times, has become brave behind the barricades. Although we can quickly defeat them as long as we rush up and fight them hand-to-hand, but a barricade Behind is another barricade..."

An Ning waved her hand: "Take me to the frontier."

"Okay, this way." Napoleon made a gesture of invitation.

A moment later, Napoleon personally brought An Ning to the forefront of the battle between the French army and the Prussian-Austrian allied forces. They climbed up a barricade that had been captured, and then pointed to the Austrian barricade at the intersection ahead and said: "Look! Barricades one after another , endlessly."

An Ning took out the binoculars, observed the enemy's barricade for a while, then turned to look at the nearby buildings: "What about this building, did the enemy enter the building for defense?"

"In the beginning, they entered some buildings, but when we adopted the tactic of burning the buildings and the people inside into charcoal, they didn't enter the general buildings very much, and just stayed in the solid masonry buildings. The city is now an impenetrable fortress, and I have filled in thousands of casualties."

An Ning put away the binoculars, turned to Napoleon and said, "I really didn't expect that you would be limited by the thinking of the past."

Napoleon frowned: "What do you mean?"

An Ning shook her head.

As an "experienced person", An Ning is of course very familiar with the ground meat of a modern city like Stalingrad, so he understands that the army in the Stalingrad era is fundamentally different from the current army.

In the era of Stalingrad, the army could be disbanded into small units with only a few people and still maintain the will to fight and the ability to act.

This is simply unimaginable for the current army.

Even the current French army cannot maintain its will to fight and perform tactical tasks after becoming a small force with only a few people.

For the Prussian-Austrian Allied Forces, as long as the number of people is less than 30, or the proportion of non-commissioned officers among the 30 people is low to a certain extent, the army will collapse.

Therefore, the so-called entry of the Prussian-Austrian Allied Forces into the house is not a small team of several people entering a house to defend it in modern warfare, but entering a company or even a battalion at a time.

In this era, it is normal for hundreds of people to guard a solid building, and there must be a considerable number of non-commissioned officers and officers among these hundreds of people. Otherwise, the most basic fighting will and morale cannot be maintained.

That's why things like "barricades" are so effective in this day and age.

Because the army has to maintain its size and formation, it can only walk on the streets, and they are relatively wide streets.

The real street fighting can only be done by elite soldiers such as skirmishers, jumpers, and hunters, and even for this kind of arms, the proportion of officers cannot be lower than a certain number.

After omitting the future part of the above content, An Ning briefly explained it to Napoleon, and then asked Napoleon: "What is the biggest difference between our army and the old army?"

Napoleon, as a good student of An Ning, immediately replied: "Our grassroots soldiers are citizen soldiers, understand why they are fighting, have the desire to fight, and can maintain morale and fighting will even in skirmish formation."

An Ning nodded: "Yes, so we have to make use of this advantage. That sergeant over there!"

The sergeant who was pointed by An Ning immediately stood at attention: "I am Sergeant Jean Boer, Your Excellency Commander!"

"Take your platoon, enter the side alley, and pass through the building through the window. I want you to climb up the wooden building next to the enemy's barricade!"

The sergeant turned his head and glanced at the house An Ning was pointing at, then turned his head and said to the soldiers under him: "You all heard what your Excellency the Commander said! Come with me!"

Then a platoon stood up and, led by a sergeant and two corporals, got into the alley next to the avenue.

The sound of broken glass came from the alleyway, it should be that the troops were overturning the windows.

An Ning continued to order: "And you, Sergeant! What's your name?"

The staff sergeant who was ordered said loudly: "My name is Pierre, sir!"

"Take your platoon, enter this alley, and climb through the window—or climb over the wall, whatever you want. In short, make a detour to enter that house!"

An Ning ordered a new house: "When you arrive, shoot at the barricades from top to bottom!"

An Ning gave orders one after another, and one after another, led by the non-commissioned officer, they scattered into the alleyway.

After giving the order, An Ning turned to Napoleon and said, "Look, the barricade will be taken down by us very smoothly! This is called a dimensionality reduction strike!"

Napoleon: "Dimensionality reduction?"

Good guy, An Ning's translation system didn't translate this word directly, maybe this era really can't find a suitable word.

It is estimated that if An Ning wants to talk about scientific terms such as photons and protons, this will also happen, so he must pay attention to it in the future.

An Ning changed her words: "It's like a tiger fighting a cat! It's so easy!"

**
Let Sergeant Boer lead the troops, and after passing through several buildings, they entered the building pointed by An Ning.

The locals on the first floor of the building were too scared to speak, and the family huddled in a corner.

Sarge: "Don't be afraid ma'am, we're here to liberate you."

A corporal below said poorly: "Sergeant, they don't understand. This is the territory of Hesse. Only nobles can understand French, and ordinary people speak German."

The sergeant yelled, "You want to tell me? Go to the second floor! Quick!"

The quick-moving soldier had already gone up to the second floor, and shouted back at the window: "Sergeant, look, it's all Austrian heads!"

The sergeant rushed up to the second floor in three steps. He looked up and saw that the Austrian barricade was right below. The Austrians were looking up when they heard someone speaking French above them.

The officers of the Austrian army were all stunned. They had never seen such a situation, and they didn't know what password to give.

The sergeant was overjoyed, raised his gun and stretched it out, and randomly found an officer with an aristocratic badge on his chest to pull the trigger, but because the paper ball blocking the bullet and gunpowder inside the gun was not plugged properly, the bullet came out of the gun before firing. Slipping out, even the gunpowder was sprinkled on the face of the Austrian army who was looking up below.

The soldier next to him was amused: "Sergeant, you don't need to use a blower to press the gun tightly! Hahaha, don't you dare to train us in the future?"

The sergeant gave the butt of the gun to the big soldier, and cursed: "Idiot! Shoot down here! Quick, shoot!"

The soldiers woke up like a dream, and they all pointed their heads down and fired, and retracted after finishing a round to reload the bullets.

At first the sergeant was urging them to reload, but suddenly he had a flash of inspiration.

"Wait a minute!" After speaking, he picked up a bench on the ground and threw it out of the window.

The bench immediately smashed the head of the unlucky guy below.

"This one is faster! Take things and throw them!"
