Battlefield of All Sides

Chapter 329 Procrastinating Battle

"Grushy, what exactly did you tell His Majesty, why did you transfer my five thousand cavalry, do you know what that means?!"

Just after dawn, an unexpected visitor came to Li Mu's tent.

Ney looked at Li Mu with eyes full of anger at the moment, with an expression of wanting to eat Li Mu.

Because just now, the cavalry under his command was distributed to Grouchy, and instead he added some heavy infantry to himself.

How can heavy infantry compare with cavalry? You must know that cavalry is the real advantage of the French army and the only superior force on this battlefield.

Ney still needs to rely on these cavalry to open gaps in the enemy's formation!
But now, more than half of his cavalry, which was less than [-], was distributed to that guy who had always commanded battles according to the rules!

This made Ney furious, so he rushed into Li Mu's camp early in the morning, roaring loudly.

Li Mu sat up slowly, and when he saw Nei, he said with a flat expression.

"Marshal Ney, this is His Majesty's will. How dare I disobey the will when you come to me?"

"Fart, this is what you are trying to do. Now is the time to fight. Are you doing this to make us lose the victory of this war?"

Ney still questioned aggressively, but Li Mu's face suddenly darkened.

"Marshal Ney, it is too much for you to say that. We are all fighting for the victory of France. How could we want to see the defeat of the battle?"

"Then you return the cavalry to me immediately, I will use these cavalry!"

Li Mu sat up and put on his clothes, but shook his head towards the other party: "Sorry, I can't do it, the battle is about to start, instead of arguing with me here, Marshal Nei, you should make a good plan to take over Come down and fight."

"you!"

Ney was even more annoyed when he was choked by Li Mu, but Li Mu ignored him and walked out of the tent, ordering the troops to gather outside.

Nei rushed out, glaring at Li Mu with suppressed anger, and just said a harsh word.

"You wait for Grouchy. If there is any loss at that time, I will blame it all on you."

After saying this, Ney left angrily. Li Mu looked at the back of the other party leaving, but immediately said something to Ney with a smile.

"No, Marshal Ney, I believe you will thank me then."

……

On the morning of the 17th, the battle for Waterloo officially began.

The troops of the French army began to move slowly from the southern hillside to the back. The large blue square formations were very clear on the green grass, the fluttering flags were flying in the air, and the sound of trumpets pierced through the sky and resounded through the world.

The British army who had been on standby for a long time also noticed this situation immediately, only to see red figures appearing on the hillside to the north, and the bright red uniforms of the British army appeared in front of everyone.

They were also densely packed, occupying the entire northern hill.

The officers on both sides are agitating for the army to prepare, and square formations begin to form on both sides. The condescending British army can see the situation of the French army more clearly, and they continue to move their troops to make sufficient preparations for the French army.

The entire British defense line came to life, and they were intensively preparing to deal with the French attack.

Under the command of Napoleon and Ney, the French army began to move forward gradually. The phalanx lined up, the cavalry was on standby for harassment on both sides, and the artillery followed the infantry phalanx. Next, when the order is given, the cannonball will be fired.

But at this time, the sky started to rain again.

Li Mu had just come out of Rossam Farm, Napoleon's former command camp. The artillery and infantry had already set off first, and the cavalry was ready to go, still waiting for Li Mu's order.

Seeing Li Mu coming out, the longing look in the eyes of these cavalrymen overwhelmed the sky, Li Mu raised his eyes to look at them, and immediately smiled in his heart, swung his sword on his horse, and shouted at these people.

"Go to Wugemeng Manor, all cavalry continue to stand by."

Saying so, Li Mu urged the horses under his crotch to move forward, and one of the officers was stunned, and hurriedly followed, came to Li Mu's side, and asked.

"Marshal, what are we going to do? The battle over there has already begun."

Li Mu said lightly with a smile on his face: "Don't worry, you will naturally go to the battlefield. Believe me, you will be of great use."

Li Mu said so, and immediately led a large number of cavalry towards the front.

Soon Li Mu came to the far side of Wugemon Manor. The cavalry stopped in a mountain and stood by, while Li Mu came to the artillery position in front.

At this time, the artillery and infantry were moving forward together. The infantry here were still soldiers of the Sixth Army. When they saw Li Mu's arrival, they also looked surprised.

After all, not long ago, Li Mu had just led them to fight a hearty battle, and now their trust in Li Mu was very strong.

"Marshal, you are finally here, shall we launch an attack immediately?"

At this time, Luo Bao rushed over full of surprise, and asked Li Mu attentively, with some eagerness in his eyes, but Li Mu just waved his hand, still in that calm and breezy manner.

"Don't worry, haven't you seen such a heavy rain now? Wait a minute."

Li Mu's sudden indifference made Luo Bao's brain a little overwhelmed, and he didn't know what to say all of a sudden, but Li Mu turned his head and looked for the artillery next to him.

"How are you preparing?" Li Mu asked.

"Report to Marshal, we are ready to fire at any time!" said the artillery officer, Li Mu nodded, pointed to the Wugemeng Manor in the heavy rain in the distance, and said.

"Fire hard and stop when the barrel is red. Remember, the shells will either smash into the manor or pass through their scalps. They are not allowed to fall in front of the manor!"

Li Mu regained that aggressive look, with a fierce expression.

The officer got the order and quickly ordered the artillery to start attacking. The soldiers carefully loaded gunpowder and projectiles in the heavy rain, and then lit the fire door.

Violent roars kept ringing in Li Mu's ears. The white smoke in the rain was not clear, but the flames were unusually bright, and projectiles the size of palms swished towards the distance.

Li Mu stood in the heavy rain and watched the situation in front of him. Li Mu was really satisfied when he saw the bullets shooting into the distance.

The British army quickly began to counterattack, but they seemed to think that the French army had started a real offensive. One after another, the ammunition was shot down the mountain, but they were all smashed into the soil, and they had no combat effectiveness at all.

The two sides went back and forth like this, until the barrel of the gun was red and was about to cool down a little, then Li Mu recruited Luo Bao, who had been standing by the side all the time.

"Marshal, are we going to attack?!" Luo Bao said excitedly, and Li Mu glanced at him.

"No, General Lobo, order your soldiers to stand apart from each other, let the first row fire on the front, and don't move the phalanx, but I want to hear the shouts."

"Ah?" Luo Bao was stunned for a moment when he heard this strange order, and it took him a long time to spit out a word.
