Napoleon II Reborn

On the day of the occupation of Stuttgart, the third step of the war against Austria was also launched. Marshal Soult's 7th Army and Bernadotte's 1st Army cut off all communication between Ingolstadt and Munich, and a violent attack ensued.

Under the fierce attack of the French army, Ingolstadt is on the verge of collapse and may be breached at any time. Successive failures, hundreds of thousands of Austrian soldiers were killed, wounded or captured, which has severely damaged the morale of the Austrian army. And Archduke Ferdinand, the supreme commander of the Austrian army, is now on his way to Munich. It is impossible to give correct command to his army, so all the ministries have to fight on their own. Once again, it gave the French army the possibility to defeat them all.

After Ingolstadt, the Austrian army in Augsburg failed to withdraw in time. As a result, they were surrounded by Marshal Murat's cavalry corps and Lieutenant General Munk's troops. Cavalry, they have lost the possibility of breaking through. A man's two legs cannot outrun a horse's four legs. So the 20,000 defenders of Augsburg had to rely on the city walls and favorable terrain to resist. However, since most of the French army is cavalry, it is not suitable for this kind of fortified battle. There are only a few thousand infantry, so they just maintain this encirclement situation and wait for the follow-up troops to arrive before attacking.

On October 13, Ferdinand led an army of 40,000 into the city of Munich, took over the command of the army, began to build various fortifications to prepare for the resistance of the French army, and at the same time sent people to the Austrian Emperor for help. The Austrian emperor knew that the Austrian army was very angry after the defeat on the front line, but he didn't want to lose the war, so he transferred 30,000 people from other parts of the empire, and then transferred 50,000 people from the 100,000 troops defending Vienna. , rushed to Munich day and night, hoping to hold the last barrier of the empire. Otherwise, the French army could drive straight along the Danube and hit the hinterland of the empire.

At this time, Ferdinand and Aohuang were thinking about how to persist for half a month, and the situation could be reversed after half a month. The 200,000 Russian troops can arrive in ten days at most, and after a few days of rest, they can be thrown into the battle against the French army. Although the weapons used by the Russian army are the most backward among European countries, as long as Russia's industry is counted as the last in Europe, the Russian army often uses a rifle by two or three people. This situation was not completely changed even during the Great Patriotic War of later generations. I have seen a movie, the Soviet recruits only fired some bullets when they went to the battlefield, and the soldiers needed to go to the battlefield to capture the rifles, not to mention the Russian army more than a hundred years ago.

But what Ferdinand and the others were counting on was not the Russian infantry, but another powerful branch of the Russian army—the Cossack cavalry. Known as the most powerful cavalry in the world, they are ferocious, burning, killing, looting, and doing all kinds of evil. But they also have the strength to support their many evil deeds. On land, almost no one can be their opponents. The Cossacks are a special existence in Russia. They are very loyal to the Tsar. They don’t have to pay heavy taxes like other nations. They only need to fight for the Tsar. This is really a very good job for the Cossacks who regard life and death as nothing. They also don't have meager military pay like other tsarist troops. Their military pay is the looting of enemy countries in every war, so they are like locusts, always robbing all the places they pass. The Turks, Poles, and even their current allies, the Austrians, have suffered a lot from them.

And this time Russia also dispatched 30,000 of these Cossack cavalry in order to deal with France. This really put a lot of pressure on Napoleon, which is why he was in a hurry to clean up Austria, so that he could concentrate on Against the Russians. And this is indeed great news for Russia's allies.

Another ally of Austria, Prussia, is about to complete its mobilization. In ten days at most, there will also be 200,000 Prussian soldiers marching to the battlefield. Under the oppression of so many troops, it will be considered that they have great abilities. I am afraid that it will not be able to reverse the outcome of the war.

On October 14, after the Battle of Stuttgart, the five French armies finally entered the Munich battlefield. As soon as they appeared, they launched a violent attack on the Austrian army in Ingolstadt and Augsburg with thunderous force. They don't want to have two nails stuck in their backs when they attack Munich with all their might. Under the powerful offensive of the French army, the Austrian troops in the two places only persisted for one day and had to surrender because they basically lost their combat effectiveness. The French army finally eliminated all Austrian troops except Munich.

After many battles, the French army also suffered heavy losses. Almost 20,000 people died in battle, and more than 20,000 people lost their combat effectiveness. Now Napoleon has less than 260,000 troops in his hands. These troops are completely enough to deal with Austria, but they will soon have to deal with the equally powerful Russia and Prussia. To be honest, he is really a little uncertain. However, the two newly formed legions have not yet formed combat effectiveness, so they have to be used to exchange the fourth and eighth legions in the country for the battlefield, but in that case, the threat of the French mainland will be greatly increased. If the British cross the sea to participate in the war, no one in France can stop the British attack except for a legion that is also not strong in combat effectiveness~www.NovelMTL.com~.

"Gentlemen, now is the most critical time. The 200,000 troops of Russia and Prussia may reach the battlefield in ten days. The situation is very unfavorable to us. If we cannot defeat the Austrians quickly, then we may We will face the siege of three countries. At that time, we will have no chance of winning. Fortunately, through the previous battle against Austria, we have eliminated 200,000 opponents. Now we are facing only less than 100,000 remnants of defeated soldiers. And the 80,000 Austrian second-line troops that are coming here. I have every reason to believe that we will completely wipe them out within five days. Marshals and generals, tell me can you do it?" At the meeting, Napoleon mobilized his marshals and generals.

"Your Majesty, as you wish, we will completely defeat the Austrians who offended your majesty." The marshal and the generals replied in unison.

Napoleon nodded very satisfied, and then said: "Now we will announce the combat orders of the various armies: On October 15, the Third Army and the Sixth Army will sweep the strongholds around Munich. The Fifth Army will attack Munich. According to intelligence, there are 10,000 Austrian troops stationed on the high ground about 1.5 kilometers to the north. The Guards, the First Army, and the Second Army attacked Munich from east, west, north, east, west, and north. The Seventh Army was stationed across the river from the south. Crossing and participating in the attack at that time. The cavalry corps will advance eastward along the Inn River starting tomorrow, preparing to lead the enemy's reinforcements to support Munich."
