Battlefield of All Sides

Chapter 327 Napoleon's Appreciation
"Blücher? What a surprise!"

In a camp outside Lini, the French camp that had just dawned ushered in a large force of troops.

It was the troops led by Li Mu who arrived at Napoleon's camp with full equipment at this moment.

In the camp, Napoleon was looking at Blücher who was pressed by Li Mu with great interest. At this moment, his face was pale, and he looked at the short and strong man in front of him in astonishment.

In yesterday's ambush in Lini, Blücher was slightly injured due to the fierce attack of Ney's troops. Then he ran into the pursuers led by Li Mu and was cut to the shoulder by the saber of the French cavalry after he hurriedly resisted. , Only then fell off the horse and was caught.

At this moment, Napoleon's eyes flicked back and forth between Blücher and Li Mu, the expression on his face was indifferent, but there was a little joy in his heart.

Napoleon was relieved that Grouchy was able to make such a big attack and get rid of his serious problem.

At the same time, Napoleon's opinion of Grouchy changed a lot. Although he didn't know the battle process yet, he could see that the team suffered few casualties and the results were very obvious.

The scout told himself that there are currently very few routs around Lini, but equipment is everywhere.

According to what Li Mu just reported, as long as the combat-effective Prussian army is defeated, the equipment captured on the battlefield can easily equip an infantry regiment.

Therefore, according to the current situation, the threat of the Prussian army to the French army has been greatly reduced.

His gaze could be completely directed to the British army who had already arrived in Waterloo.

Because of the Rini raid, the French army missed the opportunity and failed to reach Waterloo first, where the highlands had been completely occupied by the British army.

"Ask the military doctor to cure him and send him to Paris. At that time, I will hold a redemption ceremony for prisoners of war in Paris!"

Napoleon did not talk to Blücher, but waved his hand and asked someone to take him down and dispose of him properly.

After finishing this matter, Napoleon immediately looked at Li Mu and sized him up beside Li Mu.

"Your Majesty, is there anything strange about me?" Seeing Napoleon's different expression, Li Mu immediately asked Napoleon, but Napoleon walked around Li Mu, and then he spoke.

"Grushy, your performance surprised me. This is the most dazzling battle you have ever commanded."

Napoleon said indifferently, looking at the map beside him, then pointed to a location on it and waved to Li Mu.

"Our troops will move forward today, Grouchy, what good idea do you have?"

Li Mu stepped forward, and Ney and Surte, who were standing next to him, looked at each other immediately. They both saw doubt and incomprehension in each other's eyes, and hurried forward.

When Li Mu came to the front, he found that Napoleon was pointing at Waterloo.

This is the only place to go to Brussels, Belgium. It is a geographical hub, with continuous hills on the east and west sides, and a sunken road above it, which is convenient for deploying defenses.

The road here is north-south, almost an excellent defensive terrain.

Now the small hills on the east and west sides have been occupied by the British army led by the Duke of Wellington, so the position for the French army is very bad.

"Grushy, in such a terrain, how do you think I should attack?"

Napoleon actually threw such a question to Li Mu at this time, and he looked like asking for advice humbly.

This made the expressions of Ney and Soult who had just approached them even more strange, and felt that Grouchy's position in Napoleon's heart was rapidly rising.

Both of them are old friends with Grouchy. They both know what kind of person Grouchy is. It is unexpected that the opponent can fight such a beautiful battle. There are bright spots in the plan, and both of them are waiting to see.

Li Mu looked at the map, but at the moment, his eyes slightly glanced around, feeling the momentum of Napoleon next to him.

As for the battlefield of Waterloo, Li Mu had done some research before. The French army was able to launch an attack on such an unfavorable terrain in Waterloo, and the battle formation arranged by Napoleon can be said to be quite satisfactory.

If you want to be one step closer to Napoleon, it is not changing the formation, but grasping the ever-changing situation on the battlefield.

Li Mu pondered in his heart for a moment. From the perspective of Napoleon and others, he was thinking about the situation on the map in front of him. Then Li Mu straightened up and looked at Napoleon.

"Don't worry, you can think about it carefully."

Seeing Li Mu looking at him, Napoleon thought that Li Mu had already figured out a solution, and immediately comforted Li Mu to let him perfect it.

But Li Mu shook his head at this time.

"Your Majesty, I don't have any idea about the battle formation here. Everything depends on your Majesty."

Hearing these words, Ney and Soult looked relieved, and both of them showed a slight smile in silence. They finally felt that Grouchy still understood it, but it was only half a bucket of water.

But the look on Napoleon's face when he heard this sentence was not very good-looking.

"Oh? Don't be scruples. I tell you to say it, so you just say it." Napoleon still said a little unwillingly, but Li Mu still had that expression of helplessness.

"Your Majesty, I don't dare to talk nonsense about the overall arrangement of the battlefield. I don't have the ability." Li Mu rolled his eyes and said this at this time, but he thought of something and continued to speak.

"But Your Majesty, I have a request, and I hope Your Majesty can agree."

Napoleon was a little displeased. When he heard Li Mu say this, he frowned immediately, but still motioned Li Mu to continue.

"I hope I can be responsible for the attack in the direction of Wugemeng Manor."

Without hesitation, Li Mu stared into Napoleon's eyes and said.

This is Li Mu's arrangement for himself in this battle. Wugemeng Manor consumed a lot of French troops in the Battle of Waterloo, and this strong manor could not be attacked for a long time. Contained the speed of the French army's attack.

This is a key to the battlefield, as long as you handle it well, it will definitely change the shape of the battlefield.

"Besides, I hope that the three thousand cavalry can still be used by me."

At the same time, Li Mu added that Napoleon was puzzled and even frowned unconsciously.

Ney, who was next to him, immediately stood up and retorted loudly: "Your Majesty, I oppose Marshal Grouchy's proposal. That is one of our main offensive positions, and I must be there to supervise the battle."

"Yes, Your Majesty, and the cavalry can no longer be separated. We now have the advantage in the cavalry. We should all gather together and attack the British army together."

Soult also stood up and retorted at this time, both of them were filled with righteous indignation, thinking that Li Mu was taking credit for their achievements on the battlefield.

As military generals, they have already seen the location of Ugemeng Manor. If they can take it there, the strongest support of the entire British army will be broken, and the French army can go straight in and go around.

This will be a dazzling credit.

Li Mu just looked up at Ney and Soult, and didn't argue with them, just looked at Napoleon.

Napoleon was looking down at the map in front of him without saying a word. After a few words of arguing, they gradually stopped.

After all, the real commander of this battle is Napoleon.

But Napoleon was also thinking about fighting fiercely at the moment. He saw new hope in Li Mu, but he remembered his past again.

He was afraid that this battle would fail. Now that he was unable to do what he wanted, Napoleon still had some ideas in his mind about who would lead this battle.

"Needless to say, I personally oversee the battle here, and Ney is in charge of the attack in the middle."

After thinking for a moment, Napoleon gave his own thoughts, and at the same time looked at Li Mu again.

"Marshal Grouchy, this time you will be my striker, let me take a good look at your performance."
