Napoleon II Reborn

Chapter 48: Final match in Munich (2)

On October 15, the French Third and Sixth Army began to sweep the outskirts of Munich. After Ferdinand arrived in Munich, in order to delay time, construction was carried out in several small towns on the outskirts of Munich, and many fortresses were built. But due to the rush of time, the quality of these fortresses is simply not very good. If they are directly hit by a shell or a side kick, they will immediately become ready-made tombs.

Ferdinand instructed the Austrian soldiers to take advantage of the French army's unfamiliarity with the situation here to fight street battles with them, try to consume the enemy's strength and delay the time for their general attack on Munich, so as to buy time for the arrival of reinforcements. For this reason, he spared no expense and deployed 20,000 troops in these small towns. This is indeed a big deal for the Austrian army, which does not have many troops now. More importantly, the 20,000 people are basically the elite who followed him from Ulm to Munich. It seems that he is willing to do anything for time. In his opinion, as long as the French army can be held back, it is no big deal if all 20,000 people die. Compared with winning the war, the lives of 20,000 people are nothing at all.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the French attacked after twenty minutes of bombardment. The violent shelling just now destroyed a lot of the low-quality fortresses of the Austrian army, but some of them still managed to escape the fate of becoming graves. So they became a big obstacle on the way of the French army's offensive. A dozen or twenty Austrian soldiers hid inside and shot at the French army continuously from the shooting holes, causing heavy casualties to the French army. Most of these fortresses were built on the road into the town, so the French army was immediately blocked from entering here. Some soldiers rushed to the front of those forts, but they had no weapons to break through them, but were killed by the Austrian army inside. And more Austrian troops hid in the houses of the town. They shot at the French soldiers from windows or cracks in the doors, causing great damage to the French soldiers. When the angry French soldiers rushed into these houses, the nasty Austrian soldiers had already used the familiar terrain to escape, and they were not given a chance to face them head-on. A whole European version of guerrilla warfare.

The French army hated the Austrian army's practice of harming the honor of knights and soldiers, but there was nothing they could do. He just scolded the Austrian army for being despicable and shameless for using such obscene tricks. But they seem to have forgotten that a few days ago they also used the trick that damaged the honor of the soldiers in Stuttgart.

In one morning, the French army had lost about 5,000 people under this kind of blow from the Austrian army. Although I don’t know how many people the Austrian army lost, they are definitely under them. If the fight continues like this, Even if he can complete the task assigned by Napoleon, he will pay too much, and he will definitely be reprimanded by Napoleon again.

So taking advantage of the noon break, Marshal Lanshi and Marshal Lie got together to discuss how to gnaw on this tough bone. But both of them are commanders who are good at the regular style of fighting with cars, horses, and cannons, and then fight hard against each other.

They didn't come up with a countermeasure, and the two couldn't help but frown. At this time, an informed general came over and said: "The two marshals don't need to be so distressed. I know that there is someone who can help you two solve this problem."

After hearing what he said, Lan Shi and Li Yi quickly asked, "Who is it?"

The general replied: "Did the two marshals forget who came up with the idea when they attacked Stuttgart a few days ago?"

Lan Shi's eyes lit up, he patted his head and said, "Oh, why did I forget him?" Then he dragged Li, who was still a little confused, to the headquarters.

In a room not far from Napoleon's temporary headquarters, Xiao Jie was sitting at his desk carefully studying the changes in the battle situation. Suddenly, the door of his room was pushed open, Xiao Jie was stunned for a moment, raised his head, and saw Marshal Lanshi and Marshal Lie hurried in.

Xiao Jie didn't know what the two of them were doing here when the battle was going on. He hurriedly stood up and saluted the two, and then said: "Please sit down, how come the two marshals have time to come to me today? Isn't this time when the battle is tense?"

Marshal Lanshi had a very good feeling for Xiao Jie, he said with a smile: "Your Highness, there is no need to be polite, there is really no way for the two of us to come to you at this time, we need to ask you for help."

Xiao Jie wondered: I am just a small captain, with no power or power, what can I do for them? But he still said respectfully: "If you need any help from me, just tell me, as long as I can help, I will help."

Lanshi smiled and didn't speak. Lie next to him couldn't help but said: "We encountered trouble in the attack this time. The Austrian army used a lot of indiscriminate means. Both of us are fighting regular battles." , will not use these methods that damage the honor of soldiers, so I came to ask you for help." Then they told Xiao Jie about the obstacles their soldiers encountered.

After hearing what he said, Xiao Jie's face was a little weird, and he felt a little bit aggrieved: What do the two old guys mean? As if they are so noble, that clearly means that I am the kind of person who uses dirty methods.

When Lan Shi heard what Li Yi said so directly, his old face blushed, and he thought: Li Yi, you are too direct.

Seeing the two of them asking himself, Xiao Jie couldn't help but answer, so he thought for a while and said, "There is the simplest way, don't we have so many cannons? Just blast them all down, wouldn't it be enough?" ?”

Lan Shi went on to say: "I'm afraid this method won't work. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com doesn't say that they have dead feet in some places, and our artillery can't hit them at all. Even if we can hit them, it will take a lot of shells. Because There is a problem with transportation, we are running out of shells, and we have to save them for the attack on Munich."

Xiao Jie knew that this method would not work. He has been staying at the headquarters, how could he not understand these situations? He said this just to retaliate for what Lie said just now. So he went on to say: "In this case, then we can only use a more complicated method. To deal with the Austrian fortress, we can use guns together, just like blowing up the city gate of Stuttgart that night, only in weight Much smaller and make their fortress their grave. Or use a fire attack, pour oil into their embrasures and throw fire in from the outside and let them have a taste of roasting a living person. Or Use smoke, it is best to add chili powder, pepper powder, mustard powder, etc. to the smoke, and make sure they choke and cry. Or flooded with water...

Listening to what Xiao Jie said, Lan Shi and Li Yi's faces became paler and paler, and they thought to themselves: His Highness Andresi must have been sent by the devil, he is really despicable and shameless, otherwise why would he come up with such a sinister idea? way to do it. His methods were completely unheard of by the two marshals. They could not help but pity the Austrian soldiers who were about to face these horrible methods.
