King's Landing in France

He took out the telescope, pulled it out to the longest, and aimed it at the hillside.

"There is indeed a flag. So this place is the battlefield chosen by Frost? Huh, I want to admire his courage. He dared to come out to fight in the wilderness with such a huge disadvantage!" Lafayette said disdainfully , "In the New World back then, Kang Huali's disadvantage was not as great as this one, and he had already chosen to defend the city. This arrogant guy, tomorrow, he will pay the price for his arrogance!"

Marquis Roland: "My cavalry tried to charge, but the enemy fired immediately. It seems that they are going to hold on to the mill on the top of the mountain."

Lafayette: "Let him stick to it! In the face of this kind of superiority in strength, a small amount of geographical advantage cannot affect the progress of the war! Order the troops to have extra meals tonight!"

Chapter 135 Night Attack

At night, at the guard post on the outskirts of Lafayette's [-]st Brigade's camp, the sentries were yawning.

"Cheer up!" the sergeant at the checkpoint scolded angrily, "Keep your eyes open, the enemy is ahead!"

The sentinel quickly stood to attention, and then couldn't help but yawned.

The sergeant directly slammed the back of the sentry's head with his hands: "Damn it! I can wake you up!"

"Don't! Don't do it! Sergeant, I know I'm wrong!" The sentinel immediately begged for mercy, "It's so dark at night, no one will come to attack us! If I were the enemy, I would have been so scared that I ran away all night!"

The sergeant curled his lips: "What you said is indeed the truth. We have a great advantage, and tomorrow's battle should end in our victory. But because of this, we have to cheer up and prevent the enemy from using their brains!"

The sentinel shouted: "Yes!"

The sergeant nodded and started to check the next post.

As soon as he left, the sentinel yawned, then leaned back against the big tree, his eyes blurred.

At this moment, a flash of light suddenly appeared in the darkness, and before the sentry could make a sound, his throat was slit open by a dagger.

The face of Jean Lana, who led the sneak attack force, emerged from the darkness. He gently put down the body of the sentinel, and then whistled into the darkness behind him.

So the soldiers of the raiding force came out of the darkness one by one.

A staff sergeant reported to Rana: "There are a lot of people left behind, and there are only so many with us."

"Don't worry about it," Lana waved his hand, "The enemy's camp is ahead! The torch is ready-made, use it on the spot, let's go!"

After speaking, Jean Lana took the lead and rushed to the enemy camp.

Everyone followed closely behind!

Lafayette had just finished dinner served by orderlies, and was about to write a battlefield diary by the candlelight in the tent, when suddenly there was a shout outside: "Fire!"

As soon as Lafayette raised his head, there was a loud noise outside.

Lafayette immediately stood up and shouted: "Come on!"

Immediately, the orderly opened the curtain and came in: "General!"

"what happened?"

"I don't know, there is a fire in the distance, and there is the sound of an explosion."

As soon as the words fell, Berthier, Chief of Staff, broke into the tent: "It's not good, Your Excellency General, I think this is a night attack by the enemy!"

Lafayette frowned: "Night attack? Immediately stabilize the troops. The night attack can only be a small group of troops, and chaos cannot be allowed to spread in the army!"

Just as the voice fell, there was another explosion outside.

Berthier: "It may be that the artillery powder has exploded."

At this time, someone broke into the tent again, and it was the battalion commanders of several battalions stationed around the tent of the commander in chief Lafayette: "Your Excellency, Frost is calling! We will..."

"Bastard! Stop panic!" Lafayette raged, "I don't believe that Frost's army can march at night, and march without lighting torches at night! This is absolutely impossible! The enemy must be a small army, maybe There are only hundreds of people. Hold on!"

At this moment, Lafayette heard someone shouting outside: "Lafayette was killed! Our army is defeated! Run!"

Lafayette was furious: "Catch the person who shouted this, he is disturbing the morale of the army! Catch and kill!"

As he said that, he rushed out of the tent angrily, shouting: "I am Lafayette! I am right here! Calm down!"

At the same time, Davout's residence.

An Ning was still standing under the beech on the top of the mountain, watching the night with a telescope.

Davout stood beside him: "General, there is still a big battle tomorrow, you should go back and rest. Even if the night attack team has no results, we can defeat Lafayette tomorrow."

An Ning was about to reply when suddenly a fire appeared in the distance.

It was just a little bit of fire at first, but it soon became a whole.

An Ning: "Look! Firelight! Lana and the others succeeded!"

Davu also looked at the flames: "It seems that several battalions of tents were burnt down, so there shouldn't be many."

An Ning: "You don't understand, even if only a few casualties were caused, their attack can still make the enemy's camp fly wild, which will be of great benefit to tomorrow's battle!"

Davout: "Yes, that's for sure. Now that the fire has started, General, you should go back to the camp of the Chinese army to rest."

An Ning shook her head: "No, I want to stay here and take a look at the flames. You said it would be great if we took this opportunity to hide and kill them!"

Davout frowned: "It's unrealistic. Let alone attacking at night, even ordinary marching is difficult to maintain, even lighting torches is useless."

An Ning could only sigh.

Davout said so, so it should be true.The organization of the troops in this era, as well as the subjective initiative of the soldiers, cannot support the establishment of night combat.

Therefore, An Ning often felt that the comparison between the modern army and the ancient army, which was very popular on the Internet before the time travel, was very meaningless.

An Ning: "I hope Lana can return safely."

Davout: "Do you need me to send some troops to meet them?"

"No, no need, I don't want to take another group of well-trained troops. I need you to guard this important area tomorrow." An Ning yawned, "I'm a little sleepy too, I'm going back .”

Davout: "Good night, Your Excellency the General."

At this time, Lana had just lighted a gunpowder truck, and the violent explosion almost threw him out.

He was unconscious for a while before he opened his eyes and got up.

Looking around, the non-commissioned officers are organizing to put out the fire, and the comrades who came to attack with Lana are nowhere to be seen.

Lana raised his eyebrows and muttered, "My mission is almost over."

He moved his hands and feet quietly and crawled on the ground.

Fortunately, the situation was chaotic at this time, and no one noticed him.

Even a group of firefighting soldiers ran past Lana without even looking at him wriggling on the ground.

He just struggled to climb into the bushes next to the camp.

After hiding in the bushes, Lana observed the situation again, and decided to hide here to sleep tonight, until General Frost defeated the enemy tomorrow.

Yes, Lana had no doubt that Mr. Frost could win, because Mr. Frost looked so confident when they set off.

At that time, Mr. Frost said this: "Lana, don't put too much pressure on you. Even if your sneak attack fails, we can defeat Lafayette tomorrow. Just do your best and try to keep yourself alive." That's it!"

Lana hid himself among the roots of the bushes, and fell asleep carelessly to the sound of the enemies rushing and howling.

The next morning, when the first ray of dawn appeared from the east, Lafayette looked at his subordinates who were in a mess.

"Fuck," he cursed.

At this time, Berthier ran from a distance and saluted Lafayette: "Your Excellency, after counting the losses last night, about 500 people were injured and more than 200 people died, but we lost quite a lot of luggage.

"The other thing is, the troops of the First Division fought the fire all night and were very tired."

Lafayette cursed again: "Fuck! Send out cavalry, I want news of the enemy's formation."

Berthier: "I sent out reconnaissance at dawn, and the first wave of cavalry has returned. The enemy has formed an array on the unnamed hill in front of us, occupying the defensive mill and barn, as well as the low stone wall next to it. "

Lafayette stood up: "Very well, it seems that Frost is going to fight us here. The first division serves as the general reserve and recovers in place first. The second and third divisions have a total of [-] troops. Line up immediately!"

Chapter 136 Opening Champagne at Halftime?No, it will start before it starts!

An Ning didn't sleep well tonight.

He always dreamed that Lana was killed in a night attack, and then he came to him with his head up, asking "Can I help you?" over and over again.

So An Ning woke up before dawn.

When he fell asleep last night, he only took off his coat, and the result was that the shirt on his body was crumpled.

An Ning didn't care too much, picked up her coat, put it on, opened the curtain and went outside.

The first ray of dawn had already appeared in the east, and the soldiers in the camp were surrounding the bonfire, holding cups, not knowing whether they were drinking coffee or tea.

Seeing An Ning come out, they all stood up: "Your Excellency, General!"

With that posture, An Ning almost heard them shouting "loyalty".

An Ning: "You guys continue to drink tea, it's not time to gather yet."

"It's coffee, sir," said a chubby sergeant.

Konta is relatively close to the southern trading port, where you can get coffee from the colonies, and of course tea, but the French seem to be trying to compete with the British. The British like to drink tea, but the French don’t like to drink it. Tea, coffee.

Fat Sergeant: "Would you like some coffee, sir?"

An Ning waved her hand, and then called out, "Where's the groom?"

"Here it is!" A young boy who looked very clever came out immediately, "I was brushing your horse just now, do you want me to move it here?"

Anning nodded.

"Come on!" After throwing down such a sentence, the boy ran away immediately.

While waiting for the horse to move over, Lazar Kano and a group of officers all came over.

An Ning: "Is Lana back?"

"Not yet, Your Excellency." Kano replied, "I have reminded the cavalry that went out this morning to pay attention to search for Lana and his men, but there is no news yet."

An Ning: "Okay, let's go to the top of the mountain to check the situation."

Just at this time, the young man brought the horse over: "Your horse, Your Excellency!"

An Ning took the reins, got on the horse, and ran towards the top of the mountain at the head of the horse.

※※※

On the top of the mountain, Davout's troops have all risen, and the soldiers are checking their weapons.

As soon as they saw An Ning approaching, the soldiers shouted together: "Your Excellency, General!"

Now An Ning's reputation is not enough, so they are not shouting long live.

An Ning waved to everyone, and then came to Davout's side: "How is the situation?"

"The chaos last night must have exhausted the enemy's central army," Davout put away his binoculars, "but the enemy camps on the two wings have not been greatly affected. More than half of the enemy should be full of energy."

An Ning: "Not bad, it can consume the energy of ordinary people in the enemy, which is better than I expected. The remaining question is whether Lana can come back."

Davout: "You seem to value that Jean Lana in particular? I don't understand. He is just an apprentice in a dyeing workshop, and he has never studied military affairs before joining the army."

An Ning: "From him, I feel the potential to become an outstanding officer, and he will become a rare talent."

Davout raised his eyebrows, but did not reply.

At this time, the faint sound of military music floated from the north.

Just at this time, An Ning's officers also ran up the hillside on horseback, so everyone looked at the enemy camp down the hill with binoculars.

The enemy's column came out of the tents and lined up on the edge of the hedge at the bottom of the hill.

Davout: "Look at the flag, the front line is the second division and the third division."

An Ning: "Well, just looking at this formation, the troops are well trained, Davout, can you stand it?"

Davout smiled: "Don't worry, we built the fortifications overnight. Moreover, it is impossible for the enemy to attack us in a crowd. Only the few battalions closest to us will attack us. The rest of the enemies will be handed over to us." The brother army is here to deal with it.

"We will be firmly crucified here, waiting for you, General, to defeat the enemy's two wings."

Napoleon: "My cavalry guns can fire on the hill first to help you kill and injure the enemy, and then retreat after the enemy comes up."
