After Lin Haoda, who was worried, led the main force to return to France, he immediately dispatched troops to meet the 200,000 allied troops of the Kingdom of Sardinia, but what Lin Haoda did not expect was that the 200,000 troops who had invaded France had all retreated to the French border.

And a lot of fortifications have already been built here, and the fragility of Lin Haoda's foreign intelligence system has become fatal at this moment.

The attack of the coalition led by the Kingdom of Sardinia was not a desperate gamble, on the one hand, it was to echo the 30,000 elite British troops who landed, and on the other hand, it was to cover the construction of a fortress defense system along the border line to contain the possible counterattack launched by Lin Haoda!

The Italian bigwigs led by the Kingdom of Sardinia are not fools, let alone megalomaniacs, the rise of Lin Haoda is vivid, they have already learned the power of the Young Guard, how can they expect 200,000 cobbled together coalition troops?

These 200,000 troops seem to be huge, but in fact, the internal coordination is full of contradictions, and even the language between the various troops is not universal!

If such an army could deal with an enemy whose number was far smaller than its own, it would still be able to crush it with its superiority in strength, but if it encountered Lin Haoda's real main force, even the Kingdom of Sardinia itself did not think that it could win......

Naturally, when the generals of the coalition led by the Kingdom of Sardinia received the news of the annihilation of the British elite army that had landed, they did not hesitate to turn around and retreat, abandoning large areas of the French cities that had been occupied, and retreating into the border fortress defense system that was being perfected.

It was only at this time that Lin Haoda knew that the Italians led by the Kingdom of Sardinia had mobilized hundreds of thousands of people to build fortifications in the rear, and when Lin Haoda arrived with the main force, the Italians' fortifications had already been built, but the Italians felt that they could not defeat the Young Guards, even if the fortifications had been built, they were still using all the time to increase and improve the fortress system.

Lin Haoda had ordered the Young Guards and the Imperial Guard to attack tentatively, but the results were not ideal, the countries of the Italian Peninsula led by the Kingdom of Sardinia were desperate this time, and almost all the elite troops were stationed here......

As for the roundabout outflanking is even more extravagant, although the fortress system cannot enclose all places, but the current era is not the era of World War II industrialization, riding a car for dozens of kilometers a day is the same as playing, now there is not even a railway line, the march is completely on two legs.

And the avenues and moats that can walk are all surrounded by fortifications, and if you want to make a detour, you can only rely on your feet to climb over the mountains......

Not to mention the risk of being easily surrounded by enemy troops if you go over like this, even if the Italian troops are useless and they are surrounded and defeated repeatedly, Lin Haoda's logistics supply line is enough to drag his troops down!

After all, all the good roads are blocked, and the soldiers need to go over the mountains and mountains, and the natural logistics convoys are also needed, and those logistics convoys dragged by mules and horses are not as good as the big soldiers, and they can step out of a road with a marching backpack and weapons......

If you want to open up the logistics and transportation routes, you can't avoid the road of attacking fortifications in the end, indeed, it will save a lot of effort to attack behind the fortifications, but at the same time, it also means that your troops are naturally sandwiched, no matter how you fight, you have to face a two-headed battle, or even a situation of encirclement on three sides, and no matter how elite the troops are, they can't withstand this kind of attrition......

Rather than being wrapped up by the enemy and fighting, it is better to push all the way through in a decent manner!

Of course, Lin Haoda can also choose the direction of the Rhine River instead of crossing the border of the Kingdom of Sardinia, and in doing so, Lin Haoda is basically equivalent to declaring war with all the border countries......

According to the tactical deduction, if the fortified area guarded by the Italian coalition led by the Kingdom of Sardinia is flattened, Lin Haoda's army will suffer great battle losses, and the Young Guards will be very loss-making in the unequal offensive and defensive battles, consumed by groups of ordinary mercenaries and even militiamen......

If Lin Haoda was an enemy on the Italian peninsula, he could naturally rely on the army replenished after the victory to continue to push flat, but would the Austrians and Prussians watch Lin Haoda do this?

The hints of the Total War system are not untargeted!

At the beginning of 1797, the army of the anti-French alliance finally completed the transfer of materials and troops, and officially declared war on the French Republic led by Lin Haoda!

Not only did all the more than 300 states and noble territories within the Holy Roman Empire declare war on France at the same time, but the Kingdom of Norway, the Kingdom of Sweden, the Russian Empire, etc., also joined the anti-French alliance to declare war on France.

As for the Kingdom of Spain, which borders the French Republic to the south, a large army drove directly into France proper......

The troops of the Kingdom of Portugal also advanced towards France through Spanish soil, the British warships were constantly cruising along the coast of France, and the originally neutral French fleet openly declared its support for the French government-in-exile established by the Count of Provence and opened fire on all merchant ships flying the flag of the French Republic!

All of a sudden, the foreign trade of the entire French Republic was forced to be suspended, and the bourgeoisie in the French Republic was silent.

The bourgeoisie of the French Republic could not understand this situation.

If it weren't for Lin Haoda's army in France, I'm afraid it would have already set off a revolution, this moment fully reflects the role of Lin Haoda's previous massacre policy, most of the radical rebels have been cut off by Lin Haoda, and now even if Lin Haoda is no longer popular, the French who were afraid of being killed by the Iron Cross flag will not dare to raise the anti-flag......

With all of Europe declaring war on the tiny French Republic, Lin Haoda was in a situation ten times worse than Napoleon's.

The first invasion of France by the armies of the countries totaled more than a million!

It stands to reason that this phenomenon is very unscientific, after all, there are contradictions between European countries, how can they make such a big effort to deal with themselves?

It's a pity that Lin Haoda didn't have much time to think, in the face of the Spanish Army that crossed the Rhine, entered the Netherlands, and drove in from the Ilibyan Peninsula, the Italians who were cowering in the defense line, Lin Haoda opened a deluxe version of the three-line combat package......

However, without waiting for the results of the three-front operation, the British took advantage of Lin Haoda's lack of military strength to invest more than 10 landing troops on the long coastline of France, and more than 100,000 Indian Asan alone were transported, and most of the Indian Asan were only equipped with cold weapons......

Obviously, the purpose of the British was not to defeat Lin Haoda, but to make him careless......
