Napoleon II Reborn Chapter 82

At 7 a.m. on August 11, the angry Davout pulled all the soldiers out of their warm blankets at dawn. Although it is August, it is still a bit cold at this time.

So the soldiers of the Guards Legion and the Imperial Guard lined up one by one, yawning, waiting for the quartermaster to deliver breakfast. Many people had eye circles on their faces, obviously they didn't sleep well last night. There are also people who are cursing the little boys of the 88th Legion (the soldiers of the 88th Legion are all under 20 years old, and the average age is only 19 years old, and people from other legions always laugh at them. Attack them so that they can't even sleep well.

After the soldiers had breakfast, the red-eyed Marshal Davout said loudly to the soldiers: "Our Imperial Guard and Guards Corps are the most elite troops in the Empire, but we lost miserably in yesterday's exercise. The ratio reached 20:1, which is a disgrace to the Imperial Guard and the Imperial Guard. Just this morning, the despicable enemy launched a sneak attack on us, causing us heavy losses. We must take revenge and let them know that our Imperial Guard and the Imperial Guard The Guards are amazing. God bless us, victory must be ours."

"Victory must belong to us!" The soldiers were all inspired by Davout's amazing morale. They have always regarded themselves as the most elite troops in the empire, but they were beaten in disgrace by the 88th Legion yesterday. This really made many people feel sad Holding back a breath of anger, Davu aroused all their anger at this moment.

Davout was very satisfied with the performance of the soldiers, and waved his hands and said, "Ready to attack."

Davout's attack was still the same as usual, and there was nothing new about it. First of all, it was artillery preparation. This time Davout put all his artillery on the front line. Even in the face of strong artillery suppression from the opponent, he still asked his artillery to bombard the positions of the 88th Army regardless of losses until all his artillery was 'destroyed' .

Xiao Jie stood on the No. 1 highland, and beside them were Dougal and Eke. Seeing the unusually violent shelling by Davout's army, Du Geer said: "It seems that Marshal Davout and the others are ready to give it a go." "Yes, since they want to destroy our position regardless of the safety of their own artillery Judging from his style of play, Marshal Davout is preparing to attack with all his strength."

Xiao Jie smiled contemptuously, and then said: "So what? Don't forget that we are not made of mud, and our defense line is not paper. The second line of defense is much stronger than the first line of defense. , coupled with the fire support from the No. 1 and No. 2 heights, I don't believe they can break through our defense line, even if more people come, they will die."

Dugel and Eke also nodded in agreement. Although the enemy is very powerful, they are also full of confidence in their defense.

At 8 o'clock sharp, the Davout Army's offensive began. In the first wave of attack, Davout invested four regiments with tens of thousands of people. But he also underestimated the strength of the 88th Army's defense line. The black wave composed of tens of thousands of people quickly rolled towards the 88th Army's defense line, but the 88th Army's defense line was like the strongest dam, blocking all the black tide outside.

Looking from the defense line of the 88th Army, the front is full of people. All the firepower on the position is under heavy fire. There are often heavy machine guns whose barrels burst due to continuous shooting, but the machine gun crew always replaces the new barrels at a very fast speed and continues to shoot.

Although the Davout Army's offensive was fierce, they were unable to break through the 88th Army's defense line. Although the firepower of the 88th Army was very strong, the Davout Army had a large number of people, and if one died, another would immediately make up for it. So the situation stalemate. But everyone knows that this is only temporary. As the number of Davout Army continues to decrease, the victory will eventually belong to the 88th Army.

Davout was also very aware of this, so when the first wave of offensive was blocked, he immediately ordered the second wave of offensive to start. Another three regiments plus three brigades of the Imperial Guard. , a total of more than 10,000 people.

With the addition of these new forces, the situation on the battlefield has once again reversed. Certain sections of the 88th Army's line were already in jeopardy. It wasn't until Xiao Jie put all the remaining 500 people in the second brigade into the defense line that it stabilized.

It's not the way to go on like this? The soldiers of the 88th Corps above the defense line have begun to suffer a large number of "casualties". If this continues, they will definitely be dragged down by the numerical advantage of the Davout Army. Although it seems useless for Davout to use the refueling tactics like this, it will only increase the "casualties" in vain. But when the Davout Army suffered heavy "casualties", the 88th Army was also paying "casualties". The 88th Army, which is at an absolute disadvantage in numbers, cannot afford it. "Put the 1st and 2nd Squadrons of the Transport Brigade into the front line." This is the second time Xiao Jie has put support forces into the defense line. At the same time, the artillery also started blocking fire, dividing the Dawu Army into two parts, the front and the back. If the Davout army in the latter part wants to pass through the barrage of artillery shells, it will have to pay at least half of the casualties.

At this time, there was a "rumbling" thunder in the distance, but it was daytime, and a red sun was hanging in the east. "Cavalry, the cavalry of the Davout Army." This thought flashed through Xiao Jie's mind. Grabbing the binoculars, it turned out that about three kilometers in front of them, nearly 3,000 cavalrymen of the Guards Corps were rushing towards the 88th Corps' position in a dense cavalry charge~www.mtlnovel.com~ In the front is Marshal Davout wearing a marshal's uniform and holding a marshal's baton. Behind the cavalry are the remaining 10,000 infantrymen of the Davout Army.

"Davout is going to die." All the officers of the 88th Army thought so.

"The artillery extends forward and shoots to stop the enemy's cavalry." Xiao Jie ordered.

At this moment, a group of cavalry rushed out from the city of Chartres. They rushed to the exercise site quickly, and the leader was Diloc, the adjutant of His Majesty the Emperor.

After they arrived at the exercise site, they immediately announced Napoleon's latest order: "His Majesty the Emperor has ordered that the exercise is over. It has been judged that the final result of the exercise is a draw. All legions will immediately regroup and return to Paris in the afternoon."

"It's over?" "A tie?" Everyone was stunned by this order. But then all the troops participating in the exercise broke out in dissatisfaction, because both of them believed that they would win in the end, but when the exercise reached its climax, His Majesty the Emperor ordered the exercise to end.

But on the other hand, this is also the best ending. Both sides think they are the ultimate winners. This is an exercise without losers.

Seeing the angry eyes of Davu and Xiao Jie, Diloc quickly laughed and said, "This is what His Majesty the Emperor means, and it's none of my business. His Majesty wants to see you, so follow me to the city of Chartres." After finishing speaking Hurry up and get out of the way, otherwise he might be vented on him by two angry people, but he can't afford to offend either of them, so "thirty-six strategies, go first."

The exercise ended anticlimactically because of Napoleon's order.
