On October 16, the coalition launched an attack in several groups, so the Battle of Leipzig also began. At this time, Napoleon must have understood that his army had suffered too many losses, and he himself preferred to use artillery to attack the enemy first.

Explosive bombardment of positions. Another thing is that the coalition forces are not fools. They also like to use cannons to bombard enemy positions first. Therefore, Napoleon and the coalition forces have a very tacit synchronization on this point, so the two armies begin to bombard each other with cannons.

The position lasted for five hours, but it must have killed a lot of people on both sides. With such intensive artillery fire, it is absolutely impossible for us to say that no one died, but it is just that for hand-to-hand combat, it is fatal.

It's just that there are fewer people because everyone is hiding.

It was also after five hours of bombing that the coalition believed that Napoleon's army was a fixed target, so no major movements occurred, and their artillery bombed in fixed areas. At this point, they also believed that Napoleon must

The losses were heavy, so at this time the various armies of the coalition began to move step by step and compress towards Leipzig.

The right-wing column of the Allied First Army captured the commanding heights of Mount Colm. Because the Napoleonic army here had been bombed to a horrific extent, the Allied forces quickly occupied it at a very low cost. Then the left-wing column passed through.

After a very fierce fight, many people were lost, and only then did the city of Marklegag be captured. The battle for the two ferry crossings of Konnewitz and Lesnich was also extremely fierce, with corpses everywhere.

There was gunfire, but there was no large-scale artillery bombardment, because they needed this ferry and just wanted to kill all the people inside. But the French army was already in the port, so they could use artillery to bombard them.

Because they don't care at all what kind of deformation the area outside the port will undergo.

Therefore, the French army's artillery fire and even the cooperation with the cavalry once disrupted the formation of the coalition forces, resulting in numerous casualties. Napoleon's infantry also began to counterattack. The coalition forces were not to be outdone, and mobilized a large number of troops to attack.

Moreover, this time the coalition forces also deployed artillery among the infantry. After all, they still understand that shark's fins and bear's paws cannot have both, so the artillery in the coalition forces are fighting bravely to kill the enemy. Each shell is like the call of death.

, flying towards the enemy's position, always blasting out some human limbs and fragments. Of course, the French army also did the same. This situation lasted until about five o'clock in the afternoon. The French army was finally unable to resist, and the losses were too serious.

So far we have been repulsed. But we must talk about losses. Both sides were bombarded by artillery, so the losses on both sides must have been extremely heavy! There are really corpses everywhere, and there is smoke everywhere, and in this smoke there are still

More wounded soldiers who were missing arms and legs were shouting loudly. Of course, the soldiers who were blown away to the point of losing their heads or completely losing their vital functions would definitely not cry out miserably, because they will sleep here forever, just for them.

The faith in our hearts is horribly empty from the perspective of our thinking today.

The specific number of casualties is that the casualties of both sides are around 20,000, so we can say that the combined casualties of both sides this time are around 40,000, just to snatch two ferries, but these two ferries are actually very important to either side.

It is very important for all, and it has very important strategic significance. On the 18th, the coalition forces attacked the French army from three sides, southeast, north and south. The French army could not resist the three-sided attack at all, so they were forced to give up their attack.

Because they would all die if they did not give up their position, the French troops who gave up their position used firepower to open a gap from the weaker part of the coalition, and only then escaped from the battlefield.

By 1814, the coalition forces had begun to attack the French mainland, and all the coalition countries had agreed not to negotiate peace with the French army alone. Because they were people from many countries attacking France together.

Suddenly there was a party negotiating peace with Napoleon, and it would be really serious to turn around and attack the coalition forces. Therefore, before attacking France, all the top leaders of the coalition countries had already negotiated.

Then on March 20th, the coalition forces formed a siege of Paris. On April 11th, Napoleon was forced to sign the "Treaty of Fontainebleau" with the coalition forces, announced his abdication, and was placed under house arrest in Ernest.

The Bourbons returned to rule France at this time.

Although it seems that the coalition forces have won this time, and indeed they have won, after the coalition forces win, they will definitely have to share the benefits. But these are many countries, so they all feel that their country contributed more when fighting France.

, or the losses are greater, and we should get more benefits by now. In short, we can say that the senior leaders of the coalition are full of contradictions for the distribution of this benefit. And in the end, this contradiction is not a problem that can be solved by everyone giving in.

Because no one wants to give in. Since no one wants to give in, how should we deal with this matter? In fact, it is very simple, really very simple, that is to fight! That’s right! Let’s fight, and whoever wins will just listen to whoever disagrees.

? When we see this, we all think that the top leaders of these coalition forces are simply crazy, right? No! In fact, they are not crazy. In fact, the top leaders of these coalition forces originally felt that there was not much benefit from attacking France, so they might as well fight another one to divide the points.

, wouldn’t this be better? So when it comes to sharing interests, they still don’t give in to anyone. Therefore, we can conclude that they just want to deliberately create conflicts that are completely out of control.

So in 1815, although the benefits had been distributed, there must be problems with this distribution of interests this time. Everyone was unhappy and wanted to go to war. Another thing was that after the distribution of benefits, all of a sudden

Russia's strength has greatly increased, so Britain, Austria, France and many other countries secretly made an appointment, and then directly declared war on Russia, which had greatly increased in strength! And this news soon reached Napoleon's ears, so Napoleon knew that these people were in chaos

, so he secretly returned to France. At this time, the French people were completely dissatisfied with the rule of the Bourbon dynasty, because Napoleon was very good to their own people, so with the support of Napoleon and his old troops, he returned to France very smoothly.

Ascended to the throne.

Originally, the top leaders of the coalition were already preparing to attack Russia, and Russia already knew that these people were planning to attack itself, so it was also preparing for military defense and was preparing to start a war. However, Napoleon suddenly ascended the throne again. This is really

It shocked the whole of Europe! They knew that they could not continue to make trouble. Napoleon was definitely not joking with them, so on March 25, there was a quarrel because of the uneven distribution of benefits, and they were even preparing their troops for a big war.

The various countries stood together again, because they understood that now was not the time to quarrel, so this time they announced the establishment of the seventh anti-French alliance. This time, the supreme commander was appointed by the Duke of Wellington of England.

, quickly assembled an army of more than 645,000 people, and attacked France directly. By the end of May, Napoleon had also assembled a regular army of more than 284,000 people, and another 220,000 people.

More than 2,000 subsidized troops.

Napoleon realized that if several major coalition armies were to converge in one place, the consequences would be disastrous. Therefore, based on the fact that the coalition fronts in Belgium were too long, Napoleon decided to take the initiative to attack, concentrating the advantages of his forces to defeat them one by one.

On June 12, Napoleon entered Belgium and launched a sudden attack on the British and Prussian forces stationed near Belgium. The Prussian army was defeated! Napoleon's army beat the ground to the ground with corpses and rivers of blood.

Napoleon's army suffered very little losses.

On the 17th, Napoleon miscalculated at this time, so he gave his army a day's rest, and decided to join the Anglo-Dutch forces commanded by British Marshal Wellington on the 18th at Waterloo, which is 20 south of Brussels today.

Thousands of meters away, and then the decisive battle began. The British army commanded by Wellington had actually built very strong fortifications long ago, just waiting for Napoleon.

On June 18, Napoleon commanded his army to attack, and the Battle of Waterloo began. At this time, Napoleon had 270 cannons, but it rained heavily the night before, causing the ground to be muddy. In fact, there was only one heavy cannon.

A small number entered the position. At 11 o'clock, the French artillery fired first, and then the two sides fired with cannons. Suddenly, the entire battlefield was filled with artillery fire, and the roar was endless. This cannon fire continued until the afternoon.

For a while, Napoleon sent troops to feint to attack the right wing of the British army in order to contain its main force, leaving the center weak before launching the main attack. However, the effect of Napoleon's feint attack was not very obvious, so Napoleon finally had to launch a general attack from the center. Both sides

It was a complete stalemate, but at this time, the Prussian army that had been dispersed by Napoleon regrouped and appeared behind him.

When Napoleon saw this situation, he hurriedly ordered the two armies to intercept. Now the French army dispersed a little. Wellington was so happy when he saw this. He immediately became energetic and the morale of the British army soared! Because

This means that Napoleon's army is attacking from two sides. This flanking battle against the French army lasted until about six o'clock in the afternoon. The French army suffered heavy losses at this time. Furthermore, it was already exhausted, and its physical strength gradually decreased.

They couldn't keep up, so at around eight o'clock, Wellington ordered a large-scale counterattack. Under the attack of this coalition, the French army finally couldn't hold on and collapsed. Napoleon himself took advantage of the chaos.
