Is Duke Marson weak?

No, of course it is not weak, although most of the French generals are powerful, but most of them just lack strategic pride, and the command in tactics is not bad, as for the Duke of Marson, they are all among the four famous generals, and Marson's tactical attainments are definitely not weak.

So where did Duke Marson fail?

And how could it be so badly defeated?

He was clever but mistaken by cleverness, thinking that I would send an army to attack him from behind, so he mistakenly conducted the Battle of Latinro.

According to Assasin's intelligence, Duke Marsen was careful to guard even if he had found the hidden Imperial army and sent a corresponding number of troops to monitor it.

He does have a reason to be on guard, an enemy whose strength is weaker than him did not dare to come out to meet him some time ago, but after a while he dared, this is not what it is.

In terms of the place of battle, the Duke of Marson not only chose Latinro, a place far from the coast, but also retained a reserve of 30,000 men from the beginning, and directly invested 30,000 troops, including 8,000 cavalry, on the frontal battlefield.

Of the more than 80,000 French troops, the Duke of Marson sent nearly 15,000 men to keep an eye on the Austrians, leaving nearly 20,000 as reserves to cover the retreat, which meant that the French army could only spread out less than 50,000 men on the frontal battlefield.

Twenty men were thrown into battle as soon as they entered the battlefield, and there was no doubt that Duke Marsen wanted to use his superiority in strength to quickly and quickly crush Alexander before the possible reinforcements appeared.

But. At this time, Alexander's army had changed from less than 60,000 to nearly 75,000, which led to the French army of the Duke of Marson facing an imperial army with an advantage of 30,000 men. But the Duke of Marson didn't know what to do. Alexander's military strength was already equal to his, and he thought that Alexander would have more than 60,000 men at most.

Where did the 20,000-odd people in Alexandria come from?

One was the fleet I had arranged in Constantinople, and the other was Alexander himself's troops drawn from all sides from the South Neapolitan men.

Of the more than 16,000 men, only 6,000 rifle regiments circled the Duke of Marson's back by sea ship, and the other 10,000 were not sent to attack but to Alexander's barracks.

Through the attack of 6,000 people, it was through the act of harassment and self-exposure that the French spies in Constantinople were probably also caused. The Duke of Marson thought that in addition to 6,000 men, there would be a reinforcement of tens of thousands of troops.

It is important to know that 155 ships have a carrying capacity of more than 20,000 people, and the French would rather prepare for the worst. I wouldn't think I really just loaded 16,000 people into it.

But in reality, I only had 16,000 people.

It's just that the fleet of troops is divided into two routes.

Bypassing the French army from behind, rather than striking hard at night, the purpose was to alert the Duke of Marcen. I saw through his intention to eat my supports. And tell the Duke of Marson that I have a back hand. The other way was to stay at sea, until the Duke of Marsen showed signs of attacking, and then they took advantage of the night to disembark the ships, and then took advantage of the way of not holding flags, not increasing the fire, and the reinforcements eating dry food, and hiding in the cavalry camp. The 10,000 people continue to hide.

Well, after miscalculating the direction in which I sent reinforcements. Inferior forces against superior forces was another reason for Duke Marson's defeat.

Among the old scumbag's favorite words is the sentence "On the battlefield, the side with the most guns is often the one who can make God give his favor." ”

It can be seen that the old man of God is also afraid of fists. This is also because I know that the Austrians are scum, but they also have to give a death order for them to configure and do the action.

Duke Marson mistakenly believed that Alexander's army on the opposite side was smaller than he could spread, and even if the army was equal in number, he was quite sure that he would be stunned at once if he pressed a large number of troops on the front.

When the battle began, the Duke of Marson found that the battle situation was different from the idea of a close match, and Alexander actually pulled out more troops than he had to fight him.

One wrong step, one wrong whole thing.

Duke Marsen, who tried to crush Alexander with more than 30,000 men at once, soon found that the other party had sent more soldiers than he had been, and that the enemy had more artillery than expected.

Well, I heard that Alexander removed all the guns from the ship.

If Duke Marson wants to achieve his goal again, he will have to continue to send troops. Although he still has a reserve of more than 40,000 people on hand, once he sends troops, there is no guarantee that he will be able to stop the enemy army that has not yet appeared!

At that time, the best choice was to retreat, but almost half of the army was sent up at once, and a hasty retreat was a very big blow to the morale of the army, so Duke Marson chose to continue to invest his troops. Soon, the Duke of Marson was horrified to find that Alexander's forces on the opposite side were much larger than expected, and if he continued to invest his troops, he would have to completely defeat Alexander before enemy reinforcements appeared.

If it were other generals, they might hesitate at this time and choose to end the battle and retreat, but who is Duke Marson?

Four famous generals!

Does a famous player lack the confidence to defeat his enemies?

How can it be!

As a result, the Duke of Marson committed 50,000 men in the long 10-hour battle that day, but still 15,000 fewer than Alexander. Although it is very face-saving to fight more with less, it is still a very pleasant thing to be able to bully less with more, and the most pleasant thing for me is that I only sent 16,000 men to contain more than 35,000 French troops for Alexander.

The army was regrouped after the rout, and the whole five hours were spent in reorganization and rout, and the battle lasted until the afternoon, when the two sides reached a stalemate at the most critical moment, and it was estimated that the Duke of Marson had at his disposal a reserve of 20,000 men, and his enemy, Alexander, had committed almost all his forces.

Then, just as the Duke of Marson was hesitant to send his most rear-back cavalry reserve to attack Alexander's flank, he was warned by the Roman Imperial fleet that appeared on the sea.

The appearance of the Imperial Navy fleet was not due to the defeat of Duke Marson, after all, Duke Marsen still retained 5,000 cavalry and 15,000 infantry at the end of the year, and there was no army on that Imperial Navy.

At such a moment, the Duke of Marson could not care about retaining his troops, and for him, only defeating Alexander was a victory.

Yes, the Duke of Marsen, who was afraid that he would be surrounded, did not give the order to retreat at the first time, which would only lead to defeat, so he chose to charge the whole army and fight in one go. Then he pressed all the cavalry reserves on hand, and at that time Alexander had a full cavalry of more than 10,000 men.

Epic blockbuster, Lord of the Rings 3, the most rearly Rohan cavalry collective charge, many people have seen it, so spectacular, so full of momentum charge, or only the charge of 6,000 people, then you think about the plain, more than 10,000 cavalry, thousands of horses' hooves whistling past.

More than 10,000 cavalry swept into a no-man's land, and after the sweep, the defeat of the French army was decided.

If it weren't for the Duke of Marson's continuous artillery positions to stop Alexander's cavalry, I am afraid that the French would have suffered more casualties, but even so, we would have won.

But these were not the cause of the defeat of the Duke of Marson, who was also defeated because the Imperial cavalry did not suddenly appear on the battlefield while they were retreating.

What the?

And the army on the battlefields of Italy?

Only, how did this army come about?

The Imperial troop carrier, which transported 6000 infantry, could not transport my 2000 cuirassiers?

I repaired the plank road here in Hungary, but in fact I secretly displayed the warehouse, transferred the cuirassiers at hand to the battlefield in Italy, and then launched a surprise attack on the way of the Duke of Marson's slow retreat.

Duke Marsen, who knew that there was an enemy in the road, broke through the retreat he had organized because of these 2,000 cuirassiers, and the retreat turned into a rout. The French also inflicted great casualties, but our casualties were not small, Alexander used the superiority of his strength and artillery to suppress the Duke of Marson from beginning to end, but even so, he still suffered more than 9,000 casualties.
