Napoleon was clearly a man who did not admit defeat, he was able to learn from his failures, learn from his experience, and then push through the old again, further refine and supplement his plans, and then devote himself to the next attempt with amazing perseverance and perseverance.

He led the artillery several times in succession to attack the Franc battery, but in the end they all failed, and the only good news was that he didn't have to be as embarrassed as he was the first time!

First of all, Han Xing began to take the cavalry to meet him, if the British cavalry dared to come out to chase them, they would have to face Han Xing's swords, so thankfully, Napoleon no longer had to push the artillery for long-distance field training.

Secondly, Napoleon had already planned a retreat route, and if the biggest lesson from this experience was probably that he understood the essence of the phrase "hope for the best and prepare for the worst"! In the past, Napoleon did not deliberately arrange the route of retreat, which seemed to him to be almost impossible and unnecessary. Now, almost every time, he plans his retreat route in advance and prepares for retreat.

In the end, the artillery under Napoleon was also accustomed to such long journeys, and their movements began to rise rapidly, after all, they had already experienced such a retreat.

It was not so much that they were trying to storm the Franc battery, but that they were conducting military exercises! Almost every time they opened fire, the British would quickly spot them, bombard them indiscriminately, and then they would begin to retreat again. So much so that the artillerymen began to get used to this rhythm.

Of course, Napoleon's several attacks on the Franc Battery were partly due to his personal perseverance and perseverance, and on the other hand, the repeated orders of General Carto, the painter-general who had been urging Napoleon to destroy and even occupy the Franc Battery, using the advantage of the Franc Battery to suppress the fire of Toulon and the British Royal Navy in Toulon Bay.

Unfortunately, it backfired, and several of Napoleon's attempts ended in vain, mainly because of the steep terrain around the Franc battery, in which Napoleon's artillery could not be deployed at all, and therefore could not play a numerical advantage. In addition, the Franc battery occupies the commanding heights, and the British army regards it as a priority, and deploys nearly an infantry regiment here to defend it to the death, keeping an eye on even the slightest disturbance below, basically Napoleon will be beaten as soon as they show up.

These days, Napoleon seems to be playing a game of "whack-a-mole" with the British army, and Napoleon still plays the role of the "gopher", and is bombed indiscriminately by the British army every time.

"No, not here, not there! We simply can't take the Franc battery by storming! Napoleon was scribbling with a quill on a simple map of the area around the Franc Fort, when he suddenly put down the quill and clutched at his hair in distress, as if he had been obstructed.

"Are you alright?" Han Xing is actually not strange to Napoleon's state, since the last time he eased up, he drew a simple map of the area around the Franc Battery, and then began a military exercise, arranging one plan after another, sometimes crazy, sometimes smug and laughing, and then excitedly led people to try to attack the Franc Battery, and finally touched the nose again, and came back dejected.

"Hanschel, I feel like I've run out of talent! I couldn't even come up with a suitable plan to breach this damn battery! Is it really insurmountable? Napoleon scribbled on the map with a quill on his face in distress, and said with one hand on his forehead.

"I'll go, it seems that even great men can fall into a state of self-denial!" Han Xing said with a smile in his heart, "Who would have thought that the French god of war, Napoleon the Great, who is known to be invincible, would be given (bī) by a small fortress with a radius of only one mile and almost go crazy?" ”

But Han Xing still has to cheer up Napoleon, right? When people's hearts (qíng) are low, what they need most is the affirmation of others!

"Don't worry, Napoleon! 事 (qíng) is not as bad as you think! It's just a fort, and it's not hard to take it! You just need to relax and, most importantly, to step out of the circle that you and others have drawn for you! Han Xing (rè) (qíng) put his arms around Napoleon's neck and hooked his shoulders with him.

"Do you mean to say, I should look at this from a different way of thinking and perspective?" Napoleon stared thoughtfully at the map.

"That's right!" Han Xing nodded, and then took out a map of Toulon and covered it on the table, covering the improvised topographic map of the Franc Fort.

"Look, this is the Franc Fort that you want to break through every night! For the whole of Toulon, it is just an inconspicuous little black spot! Han Xing pointed to the small black dot on the map in the Franc Mountains and said to Napoleon.

Then Han Xing took out another map of Europe, stamped it on the Toulon map, pointed to Corsica, and said, "See?" Do you remember your sweet hometown? Do you remember the last time you were repeatedly crushed in front of the fortress of Corsica? ”

"Hanschel, can you not mention this? I'm bad enough in my heart right now, and you're going to stab me in the heart! As if the Franc Fort in front of me hadn't made me angry enough! Napoleon looked at Han Xingdao with a smile and tears.

"That's not the point! I mean, do you still care about that Corsican fortress now? Han Xing coughed and said in a good way.

"I care! There is not a day that I do not want to liberate Corsica, not a day that I do not dream that I have conquered that fortress and let my family regain the respect of the Corsicans! Napoleon said very decisively.

"So between the Fort of Franc and the fortress in Corsica, which one do you want to conquer the most?" Han Xing immediately threw out his own question. Napoleon was lost in thought.

After half a ring, Napoleon exclaimed: "Why the hell did I come to France to fight this stupid Franc battery!" I'm a Corsican! Even if I have to fight to the death, I should go and fight the fortress of Corsica! What I'm doing now (qíng) doesn't make any sense! ”

"That's right, that's my argument! When you get out of the circle you have drawn for yourself and get out of the shackles of your original thinking, you will find that the things you have worried about in the past (qíng) have no meaning at all! Han Xing was very satisfied with Napoleon's reaction, and applauded softly with relief.

"If you're still fighting with the Corsican fortress, will you still be here? Isn't Corsica to Europe what the Franc Fort is to Toulon? Han Xing once again threw out a question.

"I see! I understand! The easiest way to solve the problem at hand is to raise your height, broaden your horizons, and if you can't solve the problem tactically, then consider starting to solve the problem strategically! Thank you, Hanschel! Napoleon immediately became excited, and even kissed Han Xing on the face.

"Alas, French! No, Italians! Han Xing wiped the water stains on his face with a handkerchief, and sighed secretly in his heart.

"Just steal the fun! To be kissed by Napoleon is your third life, right? You still complain about things that you can't ask for! If you don't like it, let it go to me! Wang Pengfei's voice came resentfully.

"But he's a man! And I'm a man, too! The serious kind! Han Xing sighed.

"It's not as complicated as you think! In Europe, it is still common for men to hug and kiss each other on the cheek (qíng)! Judging by the situation just now, he is just a little too happy, just to show his gratitude to you! Louis XVI explained methodically.

Napoleon examines the map of Europe, then glances at Corsica, then throws it aside, and the map hovers to the ground, along with Napoleon's inseparable homesickness for Corsica. At this moment, the Corsican Avenger is no longer the Corsican Avenger, because his eyes have jumped out of that small Mediterranean island and looked at the vast land of Europe!

At this moment, the real Napoleon was born, and the reason why great men are great men is precisely because they are far-sighted, their eyes jump out of the shackles of the inherent thinking mode of human beings, and it is this great pattern that transcends ordinary people that makes them!

Napoleon was a great man, because he saw the vastness of the East and the world, realized the smallness of Europe! This also allowed him to break away from the petty fights of traditional European rulers and dare to change the pattern of the whole of Europe, the Holy Roman Empire? Deep-rooted, centuries-old as if unshakable! But Napoleon disbanded it!

How great is the Pope, the Holy Father of the earth, the supreme leader of Catholicism, even the emperor and the king have to prostrate at his feet, accept his leadership, and call him "holyfather". But Napoleon only regarded the Pope as an alternative feudal lord, and negotiated terms with him on an equal footing, without discrimination! If necessary, he would never mind deposing the pope and replacing it with a person of his liking, or even simply changing the canon to take on the role himself.

Can a different person, under the conditions at that time, with the same experience, do such a shocking act? It may seem to you that eating crabs may be ordinary, but for the first person to eat crabs, how much courage and determination will he need?

He knew more about the Celestial Empire than we think, not only did he have a vague understanding of the history of the Celestial Empire, but he also studied our legislative and executive branches, and it can be said that when he became Emperor of the European continent, Napoleon's idea of centralization was largely borrowed from the Celestial Empire and ancient Rome.

His erudition is simply outrageous, not only the Celestial Empire, but also India, Aztec, Maya, etc., you know, in that era when there were no computers and Du Niang, if you want to understand the history of distant countries, you must "gnaw" books! This meant that he spent a lot of time going through boring materials and content.

Even in modern times, search engines can know anything they want to know, but how many people know "who was the first king of England?" What is his nickname? What is the answer to this "simple" question?

"So we were simply wrong! Wrong from start to finish! We did exactly what the British wanted us to do! Spend your time, energy, and resources on storming these treacherous fortresses in the Franc Mountains! Even if one is laid, there is a second, a third! Even if the Franc battery is taken, what threat can it pose to the enemy? They just changed their place and held on, hiding behind the walls and firing at us! Napoleon looked at the map of Toulon, touched his smooth chin, and summed up the stupidity of his previous rì.

"I'm glad to see that you have abandoned your limitations (xìng), broadened your pattern and horizons, and are no longer bothered by a mere fortress!" Han Xing said to Napoleon very happily.

"But we have a new problem! That general of Carto, that crappy painter, it seems that he was the commander of the siege of Toulon! Napoleon said with a sudden sigh.

Before Han Xing could pick up, he heard a herald say: "Captain Bonaparte, General Carto is looking for you to attend the afternoon military meeting!" ”

"This really means that Cao (cāo), Cao (cāo) is here!" Han Xing said with emotion.
