Napoleon II Reborn

(The new month is here, and the monthly ticket robbery is officially started! Thank you for your support to Xiaoyu!)

"Quickly form a circular formation to block the opponent's cavalry." Facing the cavalry with huge impact, many officers of the Russian army ordered in this way. Infantry and cavalry are always at a disadvantage in field battles, so infantry have to gather together to form a circle to defend against cavalry rushing from all directions.

But at this time, the Russian army was in chaos, and most people only cared about running for their lives. How could anyone obey the orders of those officers. In the end, only a small number of people formed several round formations under the command of officers to defend against the attack of the French cavalry. But what they didn't expect was that the cavalry of the French army were not only equipped with sabers like the cavalry of other countries, they were also equipped with lances specially designed for cavalry. Seeing that the Russian soldiers formed a circular formation and inserted bayonets on their rifles to form a forest of bayonets to stop their attacks, they pulled out their lances hanging beside their saddles and fired fiercely at the Russian soldiers.

Now it was the Russian army's turn to be dumbfounded, because their Cossack cavalry were not equipped with other weapons except sabers. The French cavalry were not only equipped with sabers, but also equipped with rifles, which completely subverted their common sense. At this moment, many Russian soldiers were killed. The other Russian soldiers hastily pulled out the bayonets on their rifles and fired back at the French army (the rifles at that time could not shoot after the bayonets were attached, except for the French 1802 and 1806 types), but during this idle time, some of them Most of them have already done the dead under the gun. Under the threat of death, the rest of the Russian army did not care about shooting, and fled in all directions. And this gave the French cavalry an excellent opportunity, and they drew out their sabers to continue chasing and killing the fleeing Russian army.

After the cavalry rushed through, the infantry behind finally followed up. Facing the numerous French troops, many Russian troops were desperate and lost their fighting spirit. They threw away their weapons one after another, raised their hands, and surrendered to the French army. . In order to reduce unnecessary losses, before the attack, Xiao Jie greeted all the officers at all levels. If the Russian army surrendered, he would reject them all. At the same time, he strictly ordered the French soldiers not to shoot the surrendered Russian army. Counting on using these Russian prisoners to make a good fortune for the Tsar. It doesn't matter if the Tsar refuses to pay to redeem these captives. Anyway, large-scale construction will be carried out in various parts of France after the war, and these captives can just be used as free labor. Believe that in that case their fate will be extremely miserable, just like African slaves.

Under the fierce attack of the French army, the Russian army collapsed across the board, and there were Russian soldiers fleeing everywhere, but two legs could not run with four legs, and there was still the Oder River blocking them. At that time, no one in the French army was relentless, and they raised their guns to shoot one after another, practicing moving target shooting among them. After a while, a dense layer of corpses floated on the Oder River. Seeing this situation, other Russian troops chose to surrender one after another. No matter what happens in the future, they should save their lives first. But there are too many Russian troops. More than 100,000 Russian troops gathered on the banks of the river more than ten kilometers long. Cai ran wildly, although the cavalry corps of the French army also started to pursue, but there were too many Russian troops fleeing, and only God knows whether they can catch up. Another thing is to see if the 4th Army and the 6th Army can stop them in front of these Russian troops.

Seeing that in less than two hours, the Russian army collapsed across the board. The commander of the Russian army, who had previously arrogantly declared that he could perform miracles, broke through the French army's defenses and occupied Frankfurt, captured the French crown prince alive. The major general seemed to be struck by lightning He glanced at it, and stared blankly at the defeated battlefield. He muttered in his mouth: "It's over, everything is over. Russia has completely failed." Indeed, after this disastrous defeat, hundreds of thousands of elite Russian soldiers died in vain on the battlefield again, two consecutive large-scale defeats, Russia has been wounded. He participated in the anti-French alliance twice and was defeated by the French army, which made almost everyone have a deep fear of France. I don't know how long it will take to make up for the huge loss. The major general is now blaming himself very much. If he hadn't refuted the old lieutenant general's point of view, hadn't been so arrogant, and hadn't shown his strength in front of the Grand Duke, maybe all of this could have been made up for. These more than 100,000 soldiers will be able to return to Russia safely, and there will not be so many people in Russia who will lose their sons, husbands, brothers and fathers. All this is his fault. At this moment, he couldn't imagine what was waiting for him, the anger of His Majesty the Tsar, the accusations of the people who had lost their loved ones, or the uneasiness of his own conscience. The major general drew out his command saber and laid it across Bo's neck, he chose to escape. Pulling hard, it hurt a little, but then he was relieved.

According to the Russian army headquarters in Slubice two hours ago, Nikolai was anxiously waiting for the battle report from the front line. Since getting up this morning, he has been restless and has a bad feeling, which makes him very irritable. He desperately hopes to win the war. Although it seems difficult, he believes that the brave Russian soldiers will create miracles. In fact, he himself knows that this is a bit of self-deception, but now he is like a gambler who has lost his eyes, putting all his last chips up, hoping that the last one will make him completely make money. Otherwise, he would say goodbye to power forever. For him who was full of ambitions, this was completely unbearable, so he knew that he could not do anything, so he accepted the suggestion of the major general, appointed him to take full command of the attack on the French army, and sent more than 100,000 Russian soldiers to the French army with his own hands. no return.

"Grand Duke, something is wrong, the troops on the front line are in danger." General Savanovic, who was in charge of intelligence, rushed into Nikolai's headquarters in a hurry.

"What happened? It made you panic. Could it be that the frontline army was defeated?" Nicholas asked anxiously.

"no."

Hearing what Savanovic said, Nicholas relaxed.

"But I'm afraid it's about the same." Savanovic continued. His words dragged Nicholas to **** again.

"Why do you say that, General? Don't you have any confidence in your colleagues, your motherland?" Nicholas asked a little displeased.

"It's not like that." Savanovic quickly explained. Just kidding, if this sentence is known by the Tsar, then he will take off a layer of skin if he is not dead.

"Well then, General, tell me your reasons, and you'd better satisfy me, otherwise I will report your disrespect to the great Russia to the Tsar." Nicholas said a little arrogantly.

Savanovic was very disgusted with Nikolai's attitude, but he still didn't dare to show it at all, and quickly said: "I'm very sorry, Grand Duke. I just got the news that the French secretly gathered several people in Frankfurt. Legion, the total number is predicted to exceed 200,000, so I would say that the troops on the front line may be in danger."

"What? 200,000 French troops? How did they suddenly have so many troops? Aren't they very empty?" Nicholas exclaimed in horror. He knew that if what Savanovic said was true, then the front-line army would really be doomed.

"Grand Duke. France has always had so many troops, and even their number is far greater than 200,000. Some time ago, their troops were empty because most of the legions had combat missions. Now, it is estimated that their combat The mission has already been completed, so it is so easy to gather more than 200,000 troops." Savanovic said calmly, looking at Nicholas' ugly face with some contempt in his heart.

"General Savanovic, why didn't you give me this information earlier? Do you know how many soldiers of the empire you will kill and how many subjects of the empire will lose their relatives." Nicholas growled. At the same time, he quickly found a scapegoat for this failure.

"I'm sorry, Grand Duke. But it's not my fault. The cavalryman who delivered the information was caught by your personal soldiers as a spy when he came back last night. He didn't confirm his identity until this morning. This information was given to me." Savanovic countered Nikolai's false accusation. He didn't want to take the blame for this inexplicably. This scapegoat is too big for him to bear.

"You're making excuses." Nicholas pointed at Savanovic and cursed.

"Grand Duke, you can't insult me ​​like this. If you don't believe me, you can check it yourself. Well, I have other things to do, so I'll take my leave." After speaking, Savanovic saluted Nicholas Then he left the headquarters quickly.

Seeing that Savanovic was so sure, Nicholas knew that what he said must be true. There is no need to check any more. He sent someone directly to the front line with his order to stop the Russian army from attacking and retreat across the board. He kept begging God to bless him in his heart, hoping that there would be time.

But his messenger returned ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ in less than half an hour and reported to him: "My lord, our army has been defeated, there are deserters everywhere, and the French cavalry corps is chasing after. In addition, I also got news that the two legions of the French army are quickly encircling Svubice from both wings, and it is estimated that they will arrive here in a short time."

"What?" Nicholas was stunned by the news, he didn't expect the failure to come so soon.

"Grand Duke, give the order quickly, or it will be too late." The other generals who knew the news urged.

"What order?" Nicholas didn't know what to do now.

"Of course we retreated. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to leave when the French army arrived." A general said anxiously. If he wasn't afraid of being accused of leaving the general to flee for his own life, he would have slipped away a long time ago.

"Yes, yes. Retreat immediately." Nicholas still knew that it was important to escape, so he quickly gave the order to retreat, and led his own soldiers, regardless of the life or death of other soldiers, rushed out of Slubice, all the way to the east. flee.
