MTL - Napoleon II Reborn-Chapter 12 Battle of Reims
I'm very sorry, I'm in a bad mood today, and I'm a little sad, so I delayed the update, please forgive me. Xiaoyu will adjust his state and continue to work hard. Thank you for your support!
The great battle in Lance is obviously imminent, and the eyes of the whole world are focused there. This decisive battle will determine the fate of Europe and the world.
When instructor Pearson led the school's student army to set off, all the students in the school spontaneously sent each other off. Especially Xiao Jie and his group of children who have been living under Pierson's strict training, now they seem to have forgotten that he is a devil instructor, his strictness, his physical punishment on them, and so on.
Pearson came to his students and said: "I am very glad that you can come to see me off. Although I know you hate me and hate me for treating you so harshly, but please believe me, I did it out of selfishness." Goodwill, now our motherland is facing danger from all over Europe. You are still students now, but tomorrow you will be soldiers of the empire, and the best destination for soldiers is the battlefield. The cruelty of the battlefield is unimaginable to those who have not experienced it Yes, no one wants to die on the battlefield, but there are iron laws in war, where there are wars, there will be casualties. We can't prevent the outbreak of war, but we can find ways to reduce casualties. No one wants to die in war, but everyone Most people can’t help themselves, so I hope you can persist in high-intensity training so that you can have more chances of survival in future wars. I hope you can understand my painstaking efforts, no matter whether you will persist in the future, but I have also fulfilled my responsibilities as a teacher. I don’t know if I can return safely this time, maybe this is the last time I teach you. Well, take care everyone, and hope to see you again one day, God be with you. "
"Instructor, you will be fine." Student A said.
"We will pray for you." Student B continued.
"We are waiting for your triumphant return." Student C said.
……………………
All the best wishes to Pearson and those who are about to go. I wish them an early return, and wish the great France a victory.
Pearson smiled, waved goodbye to his students, and turned to set off on his journey. No one saw a tear fall from the corner of his eye and hit the dry dirt road. He really likes these children, even though he has to pretend to be strict in many cases, but it can give these children an extra chance to save their lives in the future, so what if he bears the notoriety of writing? Thinking of his nickname of devil instructor, Pearson couldn't help but smile bitterly. He had a bad premonition that maybe he really wouldn't be able to come back this time. But being alone, with nothing to worry about, is there anything to worry about. The motherland needs to be reborn in blood and fire. For the prosperity of France, they, the simplest soldiers, are willing to sacrifice their lives without reservation.
The profession of soldiers is worthy of being the greatest and noble profession. They are always ready to dedicate everything for their motherland, including their most precious lives. They are the cutest people in the world!
Silently watching Pearson and the others set off, Xiao Jie felt a little puzzled. In the memory of his previous life, although the second anti-French alliance was also formed at this time, it attacked France while Napoleon led the army to fight in Egypt. However, the war has been stalemate near the national border. It was not until Napoleon returned from Egypt and ascended the throne of the first ruler that he gathered his strength and completely smashed the anti-French alliance, causing several countries to cede territory and pay reparations. Yes, it's really not worth the money if you steal the chicken. But now it was such a result, which really shocked him. The only explanation is that the butterfly's wings have begun to flap. Since he was born into this world, the wheel of history has slowly deviated from the original track. So, that is to say, the history he knew may not be happening anymore. Because he could not grasp the future, he fell into confusion. But he is not a person who gives up lightly. With his knowledge and insight two hundred years later, can't he still make a career in this era? So what if you can't grasp the future? Can't you create a future yourself?
After figuring this out, Xiao Jie let out a long breath, and a strong self-confidence rose from his heart. Anyway, he has already died once, so what else do he have to be afraid of? At worst, treat all of this as a game, wouldn't it be fun to play in the world. But at the same time, the desire for power in his heart has further deepened. He doesn't want to hand over his own destiny to others, even if that person is his "uncle", that won't work.
After Pearson and the others left, Xiao Jie's life went back to the way it was before, but this time no one supervised them strictly, but they trained harder than before. The bulletin board at the school became the place they paid the most attention to, because the latest news on the battlefield would be posted there. And everyone's mood also fluctuated with the development of the war.
Reims, an unknown city, was forever recorded in history because of this long and tragic war. Hundreds of thousands of people from both sides fought the most intense battle here. Among them, the coalition army was 260,000, while the French army reached 430,000, but the militias and volunteers accounted for almost half of them. In essence, the strength of the two sides is basically equal.
At the beginning of the war, under the command of the commander-in-chief, Archduke Charles of Austria, the coalition forces advanced all the way, and the French army was helpless to fight back. However, relying on the unique geographical conditions of the French army's infinite love for the motherland, despite the extremely heavy losses, they still successfully blocked the coalition forces in Reims and could not take a step forward to Paris. Especially the militia and volunteer army, under the attack of the fierce Cossack cavalry, UU reading www.uukanshu. com lost more than half.
But the brave French were not intimidated, but chose to take up arms and resist the invaders. Use their flesh and blood to block the enemy's advance. The crowd tactics are still very effective in this era. The 30,000 Cossack cavalry, the main force of the coalition forces, were blocked by what they saw as a group of rabble with weapons and without any training, and they paid a heavy price. Although more than 100,000 French fell under their iron hooves, the desperate courage of the French and their way of fighting with the enemy still kept 20,000 fierce Cossack cavalry in France forever. Most of the remaining people were also injured, and they no longer had the ability to fight.
Xiao Jie's instructor Pearson was also one of the 100,000 people killed in this battle. He was very brave and successfully killed three Cossack cavalrymen, but in the end he was beheaded by the sharp Cossack saber.
In the end, the coalition forces failed to break through the French defense line and achieve the goal of capturing Paris. This was also the most regrettable thing in Archduke Charles' life. In addition, the coalition forces are not monolithic. All countries are retaining their strength, especially after the Cossack cavalry suffered heavy losses. However, the number of garden soldiers in the French army continued to increase, so the People's Liberation Army slowly took the initiative.
As a last resort, Grand Duke Charles had no choice but to order the coalition forces to retreat, and the war returned to near the border.
The three-month battle of Reims also came to an end. The French military industry lost nearly 300,000 people, and the coalition forces also lost more than 100,000 people. It can be said that no one won this battle.
