Chapter 276: Convincing Napoleon
"Not necessarily, in fact, with the strength of the French army, even if they meet these Mamluks on the plains, they will not suffer heavy casualties! If you can explain the current form to Napoleon, he is likely to be tempted and choose to take the opportunity to march! It's up to you, luckily! Ali stroked the striking white beard on his chin, and said with a picture of a pearl of wisdom in his hand, unfathomable.
"Okay, I'll try my best!" Han Xing also knew that the battle in front of him was a great opportunity to eradicate the Tomb Guards, if he really let this Lemoud escape back, it would not be so easy to find another chance to kill him next time! After all, Napoleon's Egyptian policy was mainly based on appeasement, and if this Lemoud put down the (shēn) section and decided to give Napoleon a lower brother, he would never think about using the French army to clean him up!
Han Xing hurriedly got off the Dongfang, got on a lifeboat and headed for the French position on the west bank.
At this time, Napoleon was riding his horse in front of the battle, and lectured the soldiers, "Warriors of France, four thousand years of history are staring at us!" This is the first time that the power of gunpowder has been vividly demonstrated in this land with a long history. Soldiers, be proud! We walk in the footsteps of Alexander the Great and Caesar in the lands where they once set foot, and we are about to accomplish great things that those ancient heroes never did! Your names will be recorded on monuments for posterity, and your children and grandchildren will be proud of you! They will proudly say that my father and grandfather were the heroes of the conquest of Egypt and worthy of the name of France! ”
"What do you want?" Napoleon insisted on his horse and spurred his horse past the battle.
"Honor, wealth, status, wine, food, respect, wealth and happiness!" The French soldiers replied in a mixed manner.
"Who can bring you honor, wealth, status, and everything you want?"
"Napoleon! Napoleon! Long live Napoleon! This time, the answer was surprisingly unanimous among the soldiers, some of whom were old men of the Italian legion, who had spent years, if not decades, of their lives in Nice, at the foot of the Alps, living in poverty and hunger. It was Napoleon who brought them out of that bitter cold and into the rich Apennine Peninsula (where Italy is located), and they are known as the heroes of the frontier and have already received countless honors and praises.
The rest were recruits from the Italian region, who admired Napoleon's charisma and regarded him as a hero for the liberation of Italy. He regarded him as "the living Caesar and Alexander the Great", hoping to reproduce the glory of the Roman Empire under his command, and reap wealth and honor, and become a master!
Isn't that what the men are rushing to the battlefield? What reason do they have not (ài) (ài) to wear Napoleon?
"Napoleon, did you see that?" When Napoleon's pre-war mobilization was over, Han Xing rode a horse to his (shēn) side and said.
"Of course I saw it, there seems to be a split in the Mamluks! If that's true, it's definitely a good thing! But I'm a little worried about whether they will cheat! Napoleon looked through the telescope in the direction of Le Mude's retreat.
"You guessed it right, I have reliable sources of information, and there is a dispute among them, some of them have decided to leave the battlefield, and the other part wants to charge directly at us!" Han Xing hurriedly said according to Ali's original plan.
"Are you sure? Are your sources reliable? This is a serious question, and if the information is slightly off, we can end up in a state of no return! Napoleon put it up with a serious face, and looked at Han Xing with those deep gray-blue eyes.
"You know, I have a friend in Egypt!" Han Xing was stared at by Napoleon, and hurriedly rode his horse to distance himself from Napoleon before he spoke.
"What? He also took part in this campaign? Could it be that he is on the enemy's side? Let's take a closer look! Napoleon spat out a series of questions, and his French was so fast that he had several language problems.
"He did take part in this war! But he's already decided to join us! There are 20,000 men under his command, which is one-third of the number of the other party! ”
Napoleon clapped his hands happily and said, "Great! If he can defect, we will win this war! ”
"Wait, do you mean there's a whole sixty thousand people on the other side? Are you sure you can trust him? Could this be a circle (tào)? I must say, he's a heretic, these devil-believing guys, and lying and unbelieving are commonplace for them! Napoleon's joy lasted only two seconds, and his brow furrowed again, and he said in dismay.
"I can vouch for this with my reputation! He is a companion I can entrust my back, I have had a fateful relationship with him (qíng), I trust him completely! Han Xing gritted his teeth and said.
"What team is he? The team that left in the southeast direction? Seeing that Han Xing was so sure, Napoleon nodded approvingly, and then pointed to the east bank and asked.
"Napoleon, there is a golden opportunity to do his best in the First World War! That friend of mine will pry the Mamluks into a suicidal charge, and we just need to beat them to pieces like we did last time in Alexandria! Han Xing pouted.
"Sounds good, and there's no risk, so you don't accidentally hurt his men?" Napoleon admired Han Xing's "friend" a little, there is such a fearless person in this world, who is not afraid of sacrifice, and who sharpens his head and wants to be a traitor! In order to pit his teammates, he did not hesitate to fake it, and even took his own people to eat cannonballs together! The best!
"Don't worry, they will deliberately stay at the back to minimize casualties as much as possible! When the war is scorching, they will fight back and hit the rear of the Mamluks, and when the time comes, even if there are 20,000 more Mamluks, they will definitely collapse! ”
"Why would your friend do that? What's in it for him? He must have some conditions, right? Name his price! Napoleon asked suspiciously, this is really too suspicious, risking his life to be a traitor, helping an intruder who is not related to him to trap his own people, this is either a plan, or there is a (yīn) scheme!
"What does he want? He's just going to kill Lemoud and borrow your hand to get rid of the mausoleum guards! "Han Xing really wants to tell the truth, but if he tells the truth, it will inevitably involve the matter of going to Hamnata (qíng), which is a god and ghost, I am afraid it will be even more troublesome.
"That's right, his name is Segail, and he wants to replace his lord, the Grand Chief of Lemoud, as the new Grand Chief! In the *** world, the chief election is prevalent, but unfortunately he lost in the last election, although he is stronger and more senior, but now the big leader Lemud was successfully elected as the big chief by relying on the dirty means of co-opting and bribing other chiefs. According to the election law of ***, a new chief can only be elected if the previous chief dies. God can see mercy, my old friend Sergeil is already nearly sixty years old, a gray-bearded old man, that Lemoud is only about forty years old, he is in the prime of life, and Sergeil can't afford to wait at all! Han Xing casually gave Ali and Lemoud a "grievance (qíng) feud".
"I guess I understand, his (qíng) situation is actually similar to Julio, right? He wants to become the new big leader, but the current one is in his way, and in order to clear the obstacles for himself, he does not hesitate to fall to us? Napoleon was quick and immediately drew the point.
Han Xing nodded hurriedly, and Napoleon held his chin and groaned, "I can cooperate with him, as long as he keeps his agreement and accepts to become an ally of France and unconditionally support our expedition, he will be the next great leader!" ”
To be honest, Han Xing even doubted that Napoleon understood what this great chief meant, and he was afraid that he would just treat this term as some kind of title such as "king and duke". He just copied the methods of Caesar, Pompey, and other heroes of ancient times!
"Who cares what big leader is not big or not? Ali doesn't care about this at all, okay! I say this purely for your peace of mind! Han Xing said in his heart.
"But as you can see, the enemy's division of troops has seriously affected Ali's plan!" Han Xing hurriedly cut to the chase.
"Wouldn't it be better to have fewer enemy soldiers? This way we have a higher success rate for our plans! Napoleon asked with some confusion as he put down his monoculars and asked with a twinkle in his eyes.
"The part of the Mamluks that is leaving is led by that damned Lemoud! He's a damn coward, and he's going to run away, but he's still the leader of the Mamluks, and if he succeeds in escaping, Shao Tian will once again pull up an army of tens of thousands of people! And with his (xìng) style, the Mamluks are likely to adopt the tactics of avoiding and not fighting, attacking us and cutting off our supply lines, which is the terrible thing about the desert cavalry! ”
"That's a big problem! What can we do to keep him? Napoleon immediately realized the seriousness of the problem, and if the tiger returned to the mountains, Le Mud would definitely pose a great threat to the French army.
"Segail advises us to let the infantry start crossing the Nile!" Han Xing took advantage of (rè) to play the railway.
"I see, you mean let's pretend to show a flaw and make them feel like there's a gap to attract them to attack, right?" Napoleon instantly figured out the joints in it.
"Isn't that self-defeating? In case the Mamluks cheat, we won't be able to get caught! Napoleon said with doubts written in his eyes.
"I don't think so, first of all, the opposing cavalry is at least a kilometer away from us, and if they rush over, we will have time to react at all! Secondly, if you are worried that the other side will attack before we can set up a formation after we cross the river, have you forgotten that I still have 10,000 soldiers under my command? If I use these 10,000 people to complete the formation first, plus artillery support, it will be enough to resist a moment and a half, and buy time for the infantry to set up! Han Xing analyzed in an orderly manner.
"Just do as you say!" Napoleon also thought that this plan was worth trying, so he nodded.
