King of France 195 This fortress is called Fort Lannes from today on
At this time, Lana had just repelled the third wave of Austrian attacks.
The French army occupied a ring-shaped fort on the top of the mountain. The outer wall of the fort was as high as a person, not too high, but it was enough for defense.
Now that the Austrian army began to retreat, French soldiers stood on the earth wall and fired guns at the retreating Austrian army.
Rana's forehead was scratched by a bullet, and the blood from the wound just entered his left eye. As a result, his vision had an inexplicable red filter - only by closing his left eye would it return to normal.
After the battle, Lana went to the female bartender who accompanied the army to get some wine and wash his wounds.
This is a new treatment method advocated by An Ning, and many military doctors in the French army have criticized this treatment method.
But Rana unconditionally believed what the General said.
After all, he is the General.
The General does not have an orderly, so when Rana was in the teaching regiment, he would serve as the General's orderly from time to time. He knew how knowledgeable the General was. He heard with his own ears that the General spoke fluent Italian and German, and directly communicated with Italians and Italians.
The Austrian prisoners conversed in the language they were most familiar with.
It is said that His Excellency the General also understands Latin. What such a learned man said must be correct.
When Lana was washing his wounds, the female bartender joked: "You actually use this to wash your wounds, what a waste! This is the wine to embolden you, I specially selected it, although the place of production may not be the same.
Authentic, but definitely a good wine!”
Rana: "I know it's good wine. The burning feeling when washing the wound can only be felt by good wine."
Waitress: "Really, I have been a waitress for a while. When I joined the army, General Lafayette was still there! When I saw those doctors, when they treated the wounded, they sawed off the legs and hands. As long as
If you are injured, you need to saw off the injured limb. Will washing the wound with wine help? I think this is just a whim of your Excellency the General!"
Rana: "Don't you understand? I saw it with my own eyes! The general rushed into the battle in person and got a few scratches on his face. He washed them with wine and they were almost healed the next day!"
"Really? This sounds like what an old drunkard said after drinking too much. Does the wound on your head also drink?" the female bartender asked doubtfully.
Rana said categorically: "I'm very sober! I saw this with my own eyes. In addition, I would chat with the little maid brought by His Excellency the General from time to time. She saw with her own eyes that His Excellency the General was shot, and the result was...
Just like a normal person, he will be completely fine in a few days!
"It is said that this is the effect of washing wounds with wine!"
The female bartender snorted: "Okay, then I'll wait a few days to see if it's really that effective."
Rana: "Of course it's true. Chief of Staff Berthier has made statistics and said that after using alcohol to wash wounds, the battle losses of the troops were greatly reduced. Many people who originally needed to have their hands and feet amputated had to be amputated.
The tail one is back."
As soon as Rana finished speaking, the bearded soldier next to him said, "That's what happened. If you don't believe me, look here."
As he spoke, the uncle rolled up his sleeves, revealing the scar on his arm: "This is the injury I suffered in the battle with Lafayette. See this scar, how big it is! When I saw such a big wound, I knew
It's time to say goodbye to my arms.
"Guess what, after I insisted on washing the wound with wine every day, the wound began to heal within a few days, and I could see hungry white tender flesh appearing on the edge of the wound! Not to mention necrosis, my wound did not even suppurate.
change.
"The doctor said that this was a bad sign. Only if it becomes suppurative does it mean that your wound is healing. So the doctor was about to wipe my wound with soil, and then the General appeared.
"He stopped the doctor and seriously demanded that every injured person must ensure that the wound surface is clean. Damn it, I don't even know what a wound surface is."
The characteristic of Chinese is that every word has meaning, even if you encounter new words that you have never seen before,
As long as you guess based on the meaning of each word, you can guess pretty well.
However, subtitle languages such as French and English do not have this function. Most people suddenly hear a brand-new vocabulary and have basically no way to guess what the word means.
The bearded veteran cursed: "Wounds! I don't know if I pronounced it right, but that's what I said anyway."
"It's Latin." Lana said, "I guessed it."
How could a dyehouse apprentice know Latin?
The bearded veteran continued to read: "In short, Your Excellency the General is a very remarkable person. Anyway, he is a hundred times, a thousand times more remarkable than a barely literate person like me. You are right to listen to him!"
Waitress: "Really? Then if you ask me for wine from now on, I won't give it to you. I'll save it for you to wash your wounds after you get hurt."
The veteran immediately looked like a bolt from the blue: "Why is this? God's horns, you can't do this!"
The soldiers around laughed.
Lana also laughed, and at this time the scout observing the bottom of the mountain shouted: "The Austrians are coming up again!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Austrian artillery began to fire.
Rana drew his saber and shouted to everyone: "Enter the post and get ready!"
In this era, there was no concept of hiding from cannons. When the cannons were heard, they would directly enter the position.
After all, artillery in this era was still a thing that fired solid iron balls with a maximum range of only about one thousand meters.
The French troops swarmed up the earthen wall, lay down on it, and fired at the enemies below.
Because the earthen wall of the fortress was not long enough for all the soldiers to lie down, and it was impossible to load ammunition while lying down, the French army adopted the method of one person lying down to shoot, and the two behind him to load the ammunition.
A solid cannonball hit the earthen wall of the fortress. As a result, because there was a slope on the outside of the earthen wall, uukanshu.com www.uukanshu.com the cannonball bounced directly up and flew into the sky, passing over everyone's heads.
Rana stood next to the tricolor flag planted on the tower of the fort, holding a saber in one hand and holding the flagpole in the other. He shouted loudly: "Everyone! The general asked us to hold on for at least two days!
"I will be with you these two days! Let those damn Austrians never dare to look down on France again!"
The soldiers roared together.
The Great Revolution made France a nation-state in the true sense, and the army of a nation-state was destined to be different from the army of a dynasty like Austria.
What's more, the leader of this force is still the "Immortal Grenadier" Rana.
Lana stood at the top of the city, completely ignoring the enemy's artillery fire and bullets. He was like a Greek statue, looking at the swarming Austrians with pity.
The Austrians climbed up the slope of the outer wall of the fortress. This slope was not only used to protect against artillery, but also had the function of causing the attacker's marching route to coincide with the defender's firing line.
The French troops on the city wall fired desperately. At such a close range, even muskets with poor accuracy had a pretty good hit rate.
Countless Austrians were shot and fell, and then slid down the slope of the outer wall, becoming an obstacle to friendly forces.
But the Austrian army still rushed within the bayonet attack range.
While shouting this, Lanner jumped directly from the tower of the fortress, landed in the middle of the enemy group, and chopped down an Austrian captain with one sword.
The French soldiers jumped up and screamed like tigers descending from the mountain.
