King's Landing in France

Chapter 355 Lana's Attack

Lana observed the fortifications of the coalition forces on the opposite side of the ferry.

His chief of staff was also holding a binoculars at the side, and while looking at it, he said, "This attack will cause a lot of losses, right?"

"Yes. But we are the French National Guard, and we are not afraid of losses." Lana replied firmly.

The chief of staff said again: "The enemy is also really strange, why didn't they demolish the bridge? Maybe it's a scam..."

"We'll know if we're cheating or not. The enemy hasn't demolished the bridge. As a French soldier, how can we not try to seize the bridge? Prepare to attack!"

Chief of Staff: "Fire the guns?"

"Fire." Lana ordered with a firm expression.

The chief of staff immediately gestured to the artillerymen, and the rumble of cannons rang out.

Lana pulled out his saber, turned to the military band and said, "Beat the attack drum, and the first regiment will follow me."

"Are you going to charge in person?" The chief of staff was shocked, "You should be in the command position! You are the army commander!"

Lana: "Didn't you read the order sent by the Chief of Staff of the Legion? Believe in our army's own will to fight, even without me as the army commander, they will fight on their own!"

Berthier probably didn't expect that there were still people who could understand the orders he issued in this way.

After speaking, Lana held his long knife high, walked to the front of the first regiment's flag, and led the troops to stride towards the other side of the river.

The coalition forces immediately greeted Lana with artillery fire, but the "Immortal Grenadier" was not afraid at all, and just walked towards the shells and gunfire.

This action greatly encouraged the soldiers behind, and they all walked towards the enemy fearlessly, even if the people around them fell down, they didn't even frown.

In this way the French crossed the bridge and rushed to the first barricade.

Passing over the earthen baskets that made up the barricade, Lannes shouted: "Forward, France!"

Then an Austrian non-commissioned officer pointed his rifle and stabbed his bayonet at Laner.

Lana slammed to one side, dodging the bayonet, but his shoulder was still pierced.

Fortunately, it was only the left arm, and Lana immediately hacked to death the non-commissioned officer who stabbed him with the saber in his right hand.

French soldiers crossed Lannes and rushed towards the Austrians behind the barricades.

Behind Lana, other regiments rushed across the bridge one after another.Rana's chief of staff was a clerk, and he arranged the entire march in an orderly manner.

Although Lana was wounded in one hand, he still swung his long sword and continued to slash and kill the enemy, shouting as he slashed: "Kill! Kill the enemy's morale until it collapses! Kill!"

Like a harvesting machine, he harvested the lives of Austrians in large numbers.

Finally, the Austrian army began to collapse, and the French army retreated like a tide.

Lana kept chasing and killing the Austrian army, as if he was not injured at all.

There is an Austrian division stationed here, and the number is not as large as Lana's army. In addition, I don't know who missed Lana, who was wounded and killed the enemy, and came up with a sentence "It's Frost," and the division finally broke down completely.

The Austrians of the entire division, from junior soldiers to non-commissioned officers to officers to division commanders, all fled in fear.

They even threw down the barricades they built in the city, so the French didn't even have a stage for their newly acquired tactics.

The French army has been chasing out of the city.

Lana felt that if he kept chasing like this, his troop organization would be dismantled, so he slammed on the brakes to stop, and then raised his still right hand: "Stop! Don't overtake me! Stop! Sergeants, form a team!"

The soldiers and non-commissioned officers who heard the order shouted "stop" and "team" together!
The orders were passed down one by one and spread to the whole army, so the French army finally stopped at the edge of the city, looking at the scattered Austrian army all over the mountains and plains in front of them.

Lana scolded: "It would be great if we had cavalry, what a cavalry hunting ground!"

At this time, his chief of staff rode over and reported loudly: "We have occupied the whole city, and there are still Austrian material warehouses in the city, with a lot of meat."

Lana: "Don't worry about the meat, we only take dry food, leave 5000 people to defend the city, and the rest of the troops advance to Augsburg, blocking the retreat of the Austrian army!"

Staff officer: "Shouldn't we attack eastward and flank the enemy's flanks that spread out along the river?"

"That can only defeat the enemy. You have not had much time to follow Frost. Your Excellency likes to fight battles of annihilation! Augsburg is the key."

Lana said that he might have suddenly felt pain, and he looked down at the wound on his shoulder.

At this time, Lana was actually pale due to blood loss and a lot of exercise, but none of his subordinates persuaded him to retreat and rest.

Because it's useless to say it, the general who claims to be an immortal grenadier will not listen.

Lana: "Where is the military doctor? Come and bandage me, and bring me some wine. I want to wash the wound!"

At this time, the French army did not have so much high-strength alcohol, so they temporarily canceled the regulations for military doctors to wash their wounds with alcohol, but Lana kept in mind An Ning's teachings, and the wounds should be washed with high-strength alcohol first.

A few moments later Lana finished dressing, and at this time his chief of staff also arranged the sequence to advance to Augsburg, and Lana's third army was ready to go.

Lana: "Send a letter to the headquarters before setting off to inform the headquarters that we are leaving."

Chief of Staff: "Then I should tell the orderly where to find our headquarters?"

The orderly not only has to send the order to the headquarters, but also brings back the orders from the headquarters.

Lana pointed to the road leading to Augsburg on the map: "We will not camp tonight and go straight to Augsburg. When the orderly returns, he will follow this road, and he will find us."

The chief of staff said to the orderly: "You heard what the commander said, go, try to catch up with us tonight, and bring back the orders from the headquarters."

The orderly saluted and left.

Lana waved his still intact right hand: "Now we are going too! Enter Augsburg tomorrow morning!"

**
An Ning received the news that Lana had crossed the river in the afternoon.

He patted his thigh vigorously: "Well done, my boy from the dyeing workshop! If he wins Augsburg, he will remember this battle!"

Napoleon was next to him, and he immediately showed an expression of envy and hatred: "His trick? This... I just said that I am going to Augsburg! You won't let me go!"

An Ning: "Aren't you going to guard Ulm? And your troops suffered so many casualties."

"But……"

"Okay, your second skill, are you satisfied with this?"

Napoleon curled his lips: "Okay, anyway, the credit is higher than Bernadotte's."

An Ning couldn't help raising her eyebrows: "Why, you and Bernadotte had a conflict?"

——Isn’t it? This is also in line with history for me?

Napoleon said angrily: "I said it would be good for you to be a king, but Bernadotte severely criticized me! Andy, Bernadotte is not loyal!"

An Ning Fu forehead: "He likes the republic, as long as we are a republic, he will be loyal."

"No, he should support you no matter what the system is. Loyalty is not absolute, but it is absolutely disloyal!"
