In the early morning sun, the fortress of Little Gibraltar is kilometers away.

"Soldiers! Today is a day of glory! It's your day of glory! "General Dopp, dressed in a military uniform of shēn (sāo), all white, decorated with golden tassels and ribbons, sparkled in plain sight, and he straddled a white horse and walked towards the French army behind (shēn).

The opening remarks of his speech are actually not bad, worthy of being a lawyer (shēn), and his mouth is Lisuo, after all, their profession is to rely on that mouth to eat, right? (shēn) is a lawyer and a part-time politician, and it is inevitable that he will be eloquent!

However, he did not seem to understand that the point of military speeches was to be concise and inspiring???????

"Today, we're going to take down the fortress in front of us! No matter how many casualties are paid, how much blood is shed! We're going to get over it! Most of you won't make it back alive, and some of you may lose your arms, legs, or even have to spend the rest of your life on (chuáng)! But your sacrifice is worth it! Your sacrifice will allow me, ano, to win this war! You shed your blood and died for the French motherland! Tomorrow this fortress will be retaken by the enemy, and all our efforts will be in vain, and the gains you have gained by sacrificing your lives and shedding blood will be in vain, but today, we will be victorious! Let's move forward! For France! With that, General Dopp clumsily drew his saber and brandished it towards Little Gibraltar.

However, he rushed out a few meters and was stunned, because there was no imaginary thunderous applause, no imaginary earth-shattering cheers, not even a little sound, as quiet as a needle falling on the ground can make a crisp sound, only the faint sound of the wind whimpering in the air, the entire French army array seemed to be silent as if dead at this moment.

"Didn't this bastard mean, 'You're dead!'" But your death is worth it, and your death will be a victory for me! What do you mean? A moment later, the dead French army came back to life, and the soldiers began to whisper.

"I think that's what he meant!" Another soldier chimed in.

"That's right, I heard it, he said 'I' first, and then changed his words to 'we'!"

"'We'? Which 'we' is it? I think he meant him and the big men in Paris! ”

Also smiling was Napoleon, who was inspecting the artillery positions on horseback, only to hear General Dopp's "powerful" pre-war mobilization.

"Hahaha, this idiot, what is not good, you have to mention 'dead to death' to the soldiers! Now it's good, the morale of the soldiers is gone! Napoleon smiled as he pointed to General Dopp's (shēn) figure.

"Shut up!" General Dopp was furious when he saw that his "exciting" pre-war speech was not well received, and he shouted at the soldiers.

"You guys! Give it to me! Give it all to me! General Dopp raised his horsewhip in a fit of rage, came to the front of the battle, and urged the French soldiers commandingly.

"He actually said, 'Give it to me'? Isn't this an obvious desire for people to die? He at least said, 'Follow me!'" Han Xing immediately heard the language of this General Dopp, so he covered his mouth and said to Napoleon with a snicker.

"That's right! This straw bale does not understand the psychology of the soldiers at all! Napoleon also looked coldly at General Dopp, who was urging his soldiers to march in the distance, with his gray-blue eyes as bright as jewels.

Seeing that the soldiers did not have the slightest intention of moving, the Dopp general became even more angry, and he directly stepped forward and slapped a soldier in the face with a horsewhip, and then shouted: "I am the general!" I command you to attack the enemy! Advance! At this time, the soldiers' eyes had become cold when they looked at him, and even with a chill of choosing people.

"I'm afraid he still thinks he's playing politics! As long as the official university can stabilize others! This is the army, not the Convention! He's really looking for death! Napoleon scoffed at the stupidity of General Dopp.

"It's time for me to play!" Napoleon Mali put away the monoculars and said to Han Xing with a smile (xiōng).

As he spoke, he rode his horse to General Dopp (shēn), "Your Excellency, those cowardly and timid Britons are now hiding behind the city walls, even if they send infantry, it is impossible to climb over the walls to fight them, right?" I ask that the artillery be led to bombard the British forts first, and when the gap is opened, you are sending out infantry to take Little Gibraltar in one fell swoop! ”

Hearing Napoleon's words, the infantrymen had a look of gratitude on their faces. Obviously, they have developed a fear of the battlefield, and even if they are whipped at this time, they will not be able to rush forward and die! And Napoleon bought them precious rest time, and some of them would even live for ten more minutes because of Napoleon's behavior, right? It's a lifesaver!

"Napoleon is so clever! Use this idiot General Dopp to establish a glorious image of himself in the army! Han Xing immediately understood Napoleon's purpose, and exclaimed.

General Dopp was completely reduced to a "background board", a stepping stone to set off Napoleon's glorious image, and could only be poked aside in embarrassment, listening to the soldiers cheering "Long live Napoleon!" "Long live Major Bonaparte!"

It was not a one-day work for the soldiers to wear Napoleon, Napoleon had always shared the weal and woe with the soldiers, and he ate and slept with the soldiers. He slept on artillery positions at night, greeting almost every soldier during the day, and even remembering the names of all the soldiers under him. His diligence and soldierhood are obvious to all!

What's more, he performed well in the battle of Cape Bren, leading the soldiers to hold out tenaciously under the siege of the British army until the arrival of reinforcements, and his calm command, as well as his excellent tactical acumen, made the soldiers present remember it vividly! And after the war, the good reputation of being able to fight well and (ài) soldiers like sons is already well known!

Let me ask, who would not wear such a general? The best generals do not step on the bones of their soldiers to play the trick of "one will make ten thousand bones dry", but to minimize casualties as much as possible and let more soldiers go home alive under the condition of ensuring victory (qíng)!

Napoleon was such a general, his outstanding tactical acumen and the spirit of sharing weal and woe with the soldiers were precisely the characteristics that the French generals of this era did not have!

Watching Napoleon riding his horse in the sun, chūn riding his horse in front of the French army, humbly bowing (shēn) to greet the four directions, and receiving the thunderous cheers and applause of the soldiers, it was like a modern popular star holding a fan meeting.

Han Xing even saw a shadow of the future conqueror, Napoleon the Great, on him (shēn), who was such a charismatic figure whose smile was so convincing that people were happy to follow him because of his generosity; The soldiers were willing to die for him, because they knew that after their death, their families would receive a generous pension, and Napoleon would even dictate the soldier's death notice in person (there was a picture of the Battle of Waterloo, but it is estimated that they would not be sealed in person, too many), and the children of the fallen soldiers would be given priority to enter colleges and universities for a good education!

"You're just a little artillery major, why are you so arrogant? I should be the one who enjoys the cheers! It's me! I'm the general! "At this moment, our General Dopp is jealous, yes, he is jealous of this little artillery commander in front of him! Napoleon enjoyed the cheers and applause that should have belonged to him, and he only got a blank of the eye! If he had known that Napoleon would become emperor in the future, he would have been so shocked that his jaw would have dropped!

But he didn't do anything, Napoleon's request was reasonable, even if he was a military idiot, he knew that soldiers could not break through the walls with their heads, and that artillery was the weapon of siege.

He buried the jealousy on his face, and then smiled at Napoleon, who had returned from a circle in front of the battle, "Major Bonaparte, please attack the city!" I'll support you with my soldiers! ”

He thought he was well disguised, but his jealous green eyes had already betrayed him, and Napoleon was well aware of the subtle changes in his qíng. However, Napoleon still pulled the reins, gave a military salute and said: "Your Excellency, the artillery unit will not disappoint you!" With that, he rode towards the artillery position, and beckoned to Han Xing, signaling Han Xing to follow. Han Xing immediately understood, and immediately led the artillery to follow Napoleon.

After advancing about 100 meters, Napoleon stopped, took out his telescope and looked at the Gibraltar fortress on the high ground in the distance, then stretched out his finger and gestured, and then stretched out his hand to Han Xingyi behind (shēn) and made a "stop" gesture.

"This is it! Let the artillery erect the artillery! "Napoleon cut the railroad to the ground. Although Little Gibraltar is located on the high grounds, but to the west is a plain with a flat river, and now hundreds of cannons are lined up in this way, revealing the hideous muzzles, aimed at the small Gibraltar fortress on the high ground in the distance.

"Fire!" Under the watchful eyes of tens of thousands of French troops, Napoleon's artillerymen lit the fuses of the artillery, and the cannon rumbled, like thunder on the ground, and one deadly cannonball after another, drawing an arc in the sky, whistling towards the fortress of Gibraltar in the distance.

I saw that the fortress of Gibraltar was constantly shaking, and the cannonballs that flew away (shè) or hit the outer wall of the fortress, leaving a pit. Or it hit the battlement of the fortress with a "bang", and after the dust flew, it left a huge depression in the battlement of the wall, along with the destruction of a cannon erected here, and even several British soldiers were blown out screaming.

Looking at the fortress of Gibraltar, which was scarred by the bombing in an instant, the French army immediately erupted in waves of cheers, obviously, the better the artillery shelling, the smaller the obstacles encountered by the infantry when attacking the city, and the smaller the casualties paid!

But at this moment, the artillery muzzles on the walls of the British fortress also burst into sparks, and then bursts of gunpowder smoke came out, and the British began to shoot back!
