Dimurier rode his horse in front, and Joseph and Napoleon rode them, holding the saber in their hands, while the soldiers followed them, approaching the smoke-filled Hemmapu Highlands.

Perhaps because of fatigue or because of the fog on the battlefield, the Austrians did not react immediately, so Dimurier was naturally happy to lead the soldiers to approach.

Gradually, the team had already entered the range of the Austrian artillery. Dimurier shouted again and slashed forward with the command knife in his hand. The soldiers began to accelerate forward in the column, but Dimurier slowed down his horse and gradually landed behind the queue.

Joseph also slowed down with Dimurier and approached. Their previous actions were just to boost morale. The serious battle was not a single fight in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" or a knight duel in knight novels. There was no reason why the commander really rushed forward.

Josephlei stopped the horse, and nodded with Dimurier, who also stopped the horse, and then turned around and suddenly realized... Damn it! Where is Napoleon? Where did Napoleon go? Was he still following behind just now? We haven't crossed the river just now, why did Napoleon disappear?

Joseph looked around anxiously, and suddenly he saw a guy riding a horse waving his glittering saber, leading the team forward at the front of the team.

"Damn it, this second-middle school cancer!" Joseph cursed fiercely in his heart.

"Joseph, why did your brother rush to the front... I can't tell that he is small and really brave!" At this time, Dimurier also found that Napoleon had run to the front.

"Brave, it's just that my head is burned out!" Joseph cursed viciously. At the same time, he decided in his heart that after coming back a while, he must teach this naughty child a lesson so that he knows why the flowers are so red!

At this time, the Austrians began to react, and the Austrian cannons began to shoot continuously towards the moving French army. The shells in this era were relatively slow, so that Joseph could see the small black dot-like shells slowly rising from the high ground with his naked eyes, and then slowly rising to a high place, and seemed to have paused there for a moment, then suddenly accelerated and fell down, smashing a piece of dust on the ground, and bounced back, like a little rabbit, jumping forward. One of the shells roared past not far from Joseph with a whistling. Joseph was so scared that he almost retracted his neck into his torso.

"Napoleon is closer, of course, more dangerous, this damn bastard!" Joseph thought.

"I can't let him be alone in that place!" Joseph shouted at Dimurier, then waved his whip and drove the war horse, and chased Napoleon.

"Ah, Joseph is usually very like an old peddler, and he can't tell he is so brave." Di Murier shook his head. But he did not catch up. He is the head coach and must stay behind to take charge of the overall situation.

Joseph chased after him in a furious manner and grabbed Napoleon's reins: "Bastard, are there any pits on your head? I asked you to come here just to show your face in front of the soldiers. Why did you come here? Why are you running around? Why don't you go back with me now!"

Napoleon turned his face and looked at Joseph with a very strange expression: "Joseph, are you pitiful in your head? You've gotten here, can you still turn around and go back?"

This made Joseph stunned, but he immediately understood what Napoleon meant:

Just now, Di Muriel was boosting morale. He gradually landed behind, and the soldiers probably wouldn't notice it, so it wouldn't be a problem for him to retreat to the back. But if Napoleon and Joseph turned around like this at this time, it would be a shock to the morale of the army.

"You damn bastard!" The more he figured out the current situation, the more angry Joseph became, because it meant that he had to go crazy with this naughty kid now!

"Hahaha..." Perhaps because he successfully tricked his elder brother, Napoleon became proud, so he said that the naughty child was so tiring and deserved to be beaten.

"Joseph, you actually rushed here for my safety. I am very moved, really!" Just as Joseph was so angry that he was about to whip Napoleon, Napoleon suddenly changed his face and said this again.

"Bah! There's nothing wrong with you being moved! You're not a woman!" Joseph cursed, but the whip was put down.

At this time, a shell flew over and hit a small column not far away.

The shell hit the chest of the flag bearer who rushed in the front, smashed him to pieces, and then followed the bloody gourds of a large row of people behind. The flagpole in the flag bearer's hand was also tied into two sections. The flag first flew high, and then it spun down in the air.

At this time, one hand stretched out, held the broken flagpole, and then raised the tricolor flag high again.

It was Napoleon's hand. He caught the falling flag and raised it high. Then he jumped off the horse, turned his head, and shouted to the other soldiers who were frightened by the gun: "French soldiers, for the sake of their motherland, rush with me!"

The soldiers were inspired by the short officer holding the military flag. They shouted and followed the short man and continued to move forward.

Joseph gritted his teeth, pulled out his saber, and activated the war horse to follow him.

"Idiot! Get off the horse! Your target is too conspicuous, and you will become a sucking stone that attracts bullets!" Napoleon cursed, pulling Joseph down from the horse.

Joseph was slightly moved, but in a blink of an eye, his heart was filled with anger: "Dog, if it weren't for you, a naughty child, I'm so safe now... tmd, I didn't even bring a gun, I would have to use this saber!"

Joseph would never have thought that this scene of him and his naughty brothers would soon become the content of a world-famous painting. After the news of this victory was passed back to Paris, the painter Jacques Louis David (friend of Armand, author of "The Oath of Brothers of Horas" and later "The Death of Mara") was extremely excited after hearing about the heroic actions of the Bonaparte brothers, and he created a painting called "France, Forward".

In this painting, Jacques Louis David broke through the constraints of the Neoclassical paintings he had previously represented and opened up a new style. The background of the painting was iron-leaded smoke and thick clouds. In the middle of the picture, Napoleon, in military uniform, raised the tricolor flag symbolizing the Republic with one hand, half turned his head, revealing his firm side face, as if shouting at the warrior behind him. At his feet, the body of the dead soldier was lying behind him, leaning back to his right, followed by Joseph rushing up. Further away, there were soldiers wearing blue military uniforms, holding a bayonet rifle, and charging forward.

The corpses lying on the ground, the warriors fighting and Napoleon holding the French flag high form a stable and dynamic triangle. The tricolor flag symbolizing freedom, equality and fraternity is located in the isosceles triangle. In the art history compiled by later generations, most of them regard this painting as a precedent for the emergence of romantic paintings.

However, at this time, Joseph didn't care whether his image would appear in the painting. In fact, he was so nervous that he did not have the fearless demeanor in the painting. However, their column did not become the target of being fired. Because their team had just been hit by cannons, their speed of advance fell behind other teams. This caused the Austrians' firepower to pour more onto other columns.

Napoleon's legs were short and he didn't run fast. As for Joseph, if he ran backward, he would definitely run as fast as a reporter in a certain place, but if he rushed forward, he would forget it. While rushing, Joseph looked around, looking for a bunker that he might use in the future, and was ready to drag Napoleon to the back of the bunker at any time. The other soldiers rushed very quickly, so the two of them gradually fell behind the team.

The other columns performed very well. When Joseph and Napoleon rushed to the Austrian positions, the Austrian defense had actually collapsed.

Napoleon held the saber and wanted to find an Austrian to chop it everywhere, but...

"Damn it, why do the Austrians run so fast? I can't find a living person!" Napoleon complained while gasping.

"That's because your legs are too short! The Austrians need to run two steps." Joseph held the knife and looked around, guarding against the Austrians who might suddenly appear from somewhere, while savaging Napoleon to vent his anger.

Napoleon habitually planned to retort, but looking at Joseph's dark face, he thought about this coward, who had rushed to the battlefield for his own sake today, and could not speak sarcastic words, so he simply gave him a "hehe".

In this battle, the French army lost more than 600 people, and more than 1,300 injured, and a total of about 2,000 people were lost. As for Austria, about 300 people were killed, more than 500 people were injured, and more than 600 captured, a total of about 1,500 people were lost. If only the exchange ratio was counted, the Austrians seemed to have a little advantage.
