Chapter 234: The Battle of Toulon Ends

After capturing the fortress of Little Gibraltar, the French army began to build forts at Cape Aegilette and Cape Barazier according to Napoleon's plan, and equipped them with sufficient artillery.

But a question arises: the Royal Navy is not a blind navy! The French attempt to build a fortress at two capes clearly could not escape the sight of the Royal Navy!

Napoleon commanded several constructions, and even gathered the captured Gibraltar artillery from the small to launch an artillery bombardment on the British Royal Navy at sea, but was almost bombarded by the overwhelming shelling of the Royal Navy, after losing more than a dozen guns, Napoleon had to take the French army to retreat back to Little Gibraltar, for a while, Napoleon's plan entered a state of stagnation.

If you want to drive away the Royal Navy, you have to build a fortress; If you want to build a fortress, you must first drive out the Royal Navy, which is a dead circle that is difficult to break!

But it didn't bother Napoleon! After a few days of hard thinking, Napoleon came up with a solution! That's to take advantage of the lush vegetation to hide! Work began every night, and during the day the entire artillery position was covered with bushes and fallen tree trunks, and in this way Napoleon was getting closer and closer to his planned fortress every day.

The Dopp general submitted his resignation after the attack on the fortress of Little Gibraltar. Obviously, he had also realized that he did not possess the necessary psychological qualities to be a general, not to mention that he had no intention of staying in this sad place after seeing the British fire kill his friends and mounts.

What's more, depending on the mess he made at the beginning, even if he doesn't resign himself, Paris will get rid of him! So he retreated in the face of difficulties, at least he could end up decently, right?

In Han Xing's view, his choice is wise, this General Dopp is a good politician and lawyer, but he is not suitable for being a soldier at all, he doesn't know anything about the battlefield, but he is still greedy for merit, Napoleon's good situation left by him was completely ruined by him, and his shallow understanding of war is probably obtained from children's stories and knights! He naively thought that as long as he had a large number of people, it seemed that he could scare the enemy to death by charging casually! Now that he can go back alive with all his beards and tails, he can be regarded as blessed by his ancestors!

It didn't take long for General Dopp to be replaced by another general, a loyal member of the Jacobin Club who was originally a doctor! Regarding the appointment of various bulls in Paris, Han Xing is powerless to complain! In fact, the appointment of the Paris side this time is quite reliable! At least doctors are more useful than painters and lawyers, aren't they? At least you can treat the wounded, and lead the medical team, right?

The middle-aged man in a wig trying to hide the shiny Mediterranean Sea on his head was named Antonio de Maffei, and he had a broad forehead, thin cheeks, a large hooked nose (tǐng), and a pair of eyes that betrayed pride and self-righteousness, which were almost identical to those of the previous General Dopp.

In a more popular phrase, the typical "eyes on the door of the head" of the lord are self-righteous to the point of exploding!

As soon as the arrogant general took office, he decided to personally inspect the artillery positions that Napoleon was building, which Napoleon could not refuse!

It's afternoon, the clear sky is cloudless, the warm sun shines on the beige sand, the fine sand and gravel, shining golden light under the eyes, the sparkling Mediterranean Sea leaves a gift to the beach is not only the sparkling sand, but also the white shells and starfish, the waves continue to wash the edge of the beach, and the warm sea breeze blows on the human (shēn), making people feel refreshed and refreshed.

Even though it's late autumn, the white sails in the distance and the verdant palm and coconut palms on the shore make it feel like a beautiful seaside resort, and the blazing sun almost gives the illusion that it's hot summer (rì).

Guess what Han Xing and Napoleon are doing? Do you think they're basking in the sun and drinking a drink or a coconut decorated with paper umbrellas? Wrong! The white sails in the distance are not yachts or decorations, they are the warships of the British Royal Navy, and the war is far from over!

"Napoleon, it's too much today!" Han Xing was wearing the uniform of the light cavalry, and sweat wet a large part of his (xiōng) mouth, and at this time he (shēn) was in the shade of a tree, secretly unbuttoned his collar, and fanned the wind desperately with his right hand inside.

"Bear with me! Hanschel, that's the warm weather of the Mediterranean! This kind of warm weather doesn't last long, it only happens occasionally, or it won't be long before the weather gets cooler! Napoleon hid in the shadow of the palm (yīn), elegantly wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead with a white silk silk, and said to Han Xing without changing his face.

"How long?" Han Xing asked weakly leaning his body (shēn) on a tree.

"Probably tomorrow or the day after tomorrow!" Napoleon replied.

"Is there any difference between that and not saying it? This doesn't solve the problem at hand! I don't think that General Antonio will drag his feet until tomorrow! Han Xing smiled bitterly.

"But there's definitely a chance he'll be dragging his feet until dusk! That's what politicians are! They like to make others wait, wait until the other person is tired, slack, and lose patience before suddenly appearing to win! Napoleon suddenly laughed.

"Seriously, when do you think that damn General Antonio is coming?" Han Xing smashed his chapped lips and grumbled while blocking the dazzling light with his hand, looking at the sky, trying to estimate the time of appearance.

Without waiting for Napoleon's reply, the general Antonio arrived with his guards. He inspected the artillery position built by Napoleon with great satisfaction, and then touched and touched and patted and patted on the artillery, like a customer who entered a 4S store to buy a car! Obviously, he doesn't know anything about artillery, just like ordinary people don't know anything about the internal structure and working principle of a car! Aside from touching and seeing, he's a complete layman!

The Antonio general, like a child who had discovered a new toy, looked at the mighty and almost impossible artillery group with excitement, and at the place of the last cannon, he took a good look at the sea of cannons and compared them for a moment, and then almost stuffed his head into the barrel to find out!

Originally, Han Xing and Napoleon thought that this guy was about to leave, but they didn't expect this guy to rely on the last artillery, it seemed that his appearance was not loud enough and not amazing enough, in order to impress the soldiers and show that he attached great importance to artillery, he directly asked the gunner to open the cannon and give him a look at the effect!

The gunner, who was also a wood, opened fire stupidly, and after a loud bang, a cannonball came out of its disembowelment and flew towards the wide sea.

Napoleon's "don't" had just blurted out when the artillery opened fire under his gaze. One of his faces immediately became bloodless, and if the British had discovered their own artillery positions, his ten days of work would have been in vain!

Han Xing simply scolded his mother in his heart, "Please, we are now playing concealment and ambush, and you actually gave the fucking order to open fire?" I'm afraid the British won't be able to find out about us, right? If you want to die, don't drag me to bury you! ”

After seeing the power of the cannon with his own eyes, the general Antonio finally walked away satisfied, leaving only Han Xing and Napoleon, watching the movements of the British fleet with fear. Fortunately, the Royal Navy does not appear to have spotted the shell.

Half a month later, Napoleon's fortress had been completed, and the doctor-general came to inspect it again, and this time Napoleon simply tricked him into the beach and let him observe the "heroics" of the Royal Navy. At the sight of the black muzzle of the Royal Navy in the distance, our Admiral Antonio's face immediately turned terrified, especially since he (shēn) was on the beach, especially when he was on the beach, and it was especially clear to observe it when there was no shelter (qíng).

"Major Bonaparte, where is the bunker?" The Medic General asked in a trembling voice, looking around in a panic, as if trying to find a place to cover up.

"There's no bunker anymore! Let's replace it with (ài) nationalism! Napoleon put his hands behind his back, the wind (qíng) was faint, and he looked at the general doctor's nervous face with a smug expression.

"Sample, you dare to let the cannon try again! I let you hand (jiàn), let you mouth (jiàn)! Without me doing anything, the British can blow you to slag! Han Xing looked at this scene from the sidelines and said with a smile in his heart.

Sure enough, since then, the inspector General Antonio has never come to inspect again! A few days later, Napoleon's plan went ahead as planned, and the bombardment succeeded in pushing back the British Royal Navy (Bī), leaving the Bay of Toulon in disgrace.

Losing the support of the Royal Navy and the loss of supplies, the tens of thousands of defenders in the city of Toulon were defeated, and the French army successfully entered Toulon, and after an unusually brutal street battle, the spark of the Toulon rebellion was completely extinguished.

"Your series of missions, the first step of the Rise of the Emperor has been completed!"

"You've been rewarded with 3,000 survival points!"

"Do you want to continue to complete the series of missions, the rise of the emperor? The second step is the Italian conquest, and condition 1 is completed, and Milan, (rè)naia, Rome, Austria, Venice, the Kingdom of Sardinia and France end their non-hostile relations; Condition 2, the fortress of Mantua was in the hands of the French army for more than two months! The reward for this task increases with the difficulty of completing the task, and the reward for the second step is doubled to 6000 survival points! ”

"Go on!" Han Xing decisively chose to accept it, the survival point given away for nothing, don't be in vain!

"Is it so easy to earn a survival point today?" Han Xing muttered quietly.

"If you forcibly interfere with the development of the drama (qíng), or use abilities beyond the scope of ordinary people's understanding, it is likely to lead to a significant increase in difficulty, Realm Lord Han Xing, you have always kept the world drama (qíng) intact (xìng) as much as possible, reducing the impact on the world, this is the reason why you feel that the reward is easy!" Unexpectedly, the pleasant female voice actually explained to Han Xing.

"In other words, if I take a machine gun cannon and try to speed up the process of the drama (qíng) and try to complete the task quickly, it is likely to backfire and cause a serious backlash in the whole drama (qíng) world? Is it possible that the whole world will unite to encircle me? Han Xing felt a little surprised.

"Anyway, the reason why this reward is so great can't be because I've wasted two full years of light (yīn) in the whole world, right? Where is this reward, it's just life money! Han Xing suddenly remembered that he had been in this world for two years for no reason, and he cried without tears in his heart.

A grand popular rally was held in Paris, where the news of the suppression of the Toulon rebellion had been put down in a high-profile manner to the whole country. This is to discourage the royalists, as if to say, "The rebellion in Toulon was supported by the British Royal Navy, and we have not been abolished?" How much more is it you? This is the typical "kill the monkey and make an example of the chicken, and shoot the first bird!" "Tactics!

And the news that Toulon was pacified was tied up and walked away without (jìn) was the name of Napoleon! As the person who played a decisive role in the pacification of Toulon in the First Battle, Napoleon was exceptionally promoted to brigadier general! Han Xing also followed suit and was directly promoted to major! Napoleon's name appeared on the front page of the newspapers, and for a time, Napoleon became a household name in Paris!

"It's unpredictable!" Riding a telegram and wearing a new military uniform, Han Xing rode behind Napoleon's shēn to be welcomed by the Parisian people, flowers and pieces of colorful scraps of paper fluttering in the air and falling on the heads of the warriors returning from the rebellion in Toulon. Thinking of the scene when he fled Paris in embarrassment, Han Xing was really embarrassed.

"This road, there is too much blood!" Only Louis XVI lamented with some sadness.

I don't know if he was sorry and sad because of the brutally suppressed Toulon royalists, or because he returned to Paris again to touch the scene (qíng)!
