While Lana was fighting hard, An Ning's main force was rushing to the Rivoli Terrace.
In real history, Napoleon relied on his marching ability to disrupt the Austrian commanders' combat arrangements many times.
Especially in several battles between Napoleon and Archduke Karl, the French army moved too fast, causing Archduke Karl's tactical maneuvers to be destroyed by the French army before they were completed.
An Ning, who was well aware of this, also placed special emphasis on the marching ability of the troops, and often organized long-distance forced marches during training.
So now the French army is moving very fast.
Davout's forwards had returned, and they arrived at Rivoli and began to set up defenses at the exit from the Adige Valley to Rivoli.
An Ning's headquarters followed Davout's large army and continued to move towards Rivoli, together with Napoleon's cavalry and artillery troops.
As An Ning walked, she was worried about La Salle. He had already set out for a day of investigation and had not yet sent back a report.
Napoleon noticed the worried expression on his face and asked, "Are you worried about La Salle?"
"Yes." An Ning answered truthfully.
Napoleon: "Don't worry, he probably just forgot to send someone back to report. With La Salle's character, this possibility is very high."
"Indeed." An Ning had to admit that Napoleon was right. After getting along with each other for this period of time, he already understood why La Salle didn't get the marshal in the end. What's so unreliable about this man is that he is really unreliable.
.
The marshal should be able to do his job on his own, but if you let La Salle command a front army, then just worry about it.
La Salle was just an outstanding cavalry officer, and the correct way to use him was to command a cavalry brigade.
An Ning: "When Lazare comes back, I will give him a good scolding."
"You'd better do this," Berthier said. "As your direct descendant, even I dare not scold him."
An Ning: "I have long said that there is no direct lineage in my army, and I will treat them equally. As the chief of staff, you have the right to reprimand any junior officers who do not implement your plan properly."
Berthier was silent for a few seconds before replying: "Okay, I understand."
An Ning looked at Berthier's expression and thought that he probably didn't understand.
During the previous Battle of Diego, Napoleon seemed to have ignored Lahalp's command. His artillery team crossed Lahalp's entire front on the battlefield, and first launched a violent bombardment of the Austrians on Lahalp's right flank.
Then he ran to the left wing of La Harp to bombard the enemy in front.
An Ning's army has actually formed the term "direct lineage". Ordinary generals dare not command the officers of the direct lineage, and these officers themselves do not listen to those who are not direct lineage at all.
An Ning still has a headache about this. This is not a situation he wants to see.
But now that we are fighting, we don't have to worry about so much. Once we can drive Wumzer away, we must find a way to reverse this situation in the army.
While An Ning was thinking about this, he rode past a group of troops carrying golden guns.
It's a precision marksman company,
The breech-loading rifle An Ning used was specially coated with a layer of brass, making it look golden.
When An Ning noticed the guns of the precision shooters, the shooters also saw him, so they shouted in unison: "Long live the general! Long live your Excellency!"
An Ning waved his hand gently, indicating that they could stop, but no one listened to him.
The shooters still kept shouting: "Long live the general!"
Napoleon was very excited: "Look, Andy, everyone welcomes you like Caesar!"
An Ning looked helpless.
The troops who were walking next to him just now were newly recruited this time. These people had the habit of shouting long live before they even saw him.
But those old troops who he has commanded for a while will definitely shout long live when they see him.
It is estimated that these newly recruited troops will soon be led astray by the old troops.
An Ning has also seen this kind of scene in Napoleon's movie. In the movie Battle of Austerlitz, the French army shouted "Long Live the Emperor" when they saw Napoleon.
Hail and live with Napoleon wherever he goes.
It was only 1792, and I was already enjoying the same treatment as Napoleon during the War of the Three Emperors. After 1800, I didn't dare to think about what the situation would be like.
An Ning passed by the precision shooter company and came to another unit. This unit also shouted: "Long live the general!"
An Ning could only wave greeting helplessly.

At this time, there was also an Italian Sequoia Force marching near Anning.
When the young Baz heard the shouts from the French, he turned around in confusion: "What are they shouting?"
Naturally, the French soldiers shouted in French, which the Italian teenager could not understand.
The bearded man next to him said: "Probably shouting long live the general. They always do this."
Buzz said excitedly: "So we will see General Frost soon?"
"Probably so."
Baz couldn't help but look back: "What kind of person could he be? I heard that he is unusually tall, like a mountain monster in the Alps."
The Italians around him burst out laughing.
"You might as well say he has the head of a lion."
Buzz: "What is a lion?"
"You don't know what a lion is? It's a ferocious beast with fur all over its face, just like it has beards."
Baz was imagining what that animal looked like, and the General rode past the Sequoia Army.
Someone shouted in Italian: "General, when can we beat the Austrians?"
The general smiled, turned around and replied in standard Italian: "Soon! It could be tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow!"
A short officer next to the general said: "We are rushing to the battlefield now. You will definitely beat the Austrians who are oppressing you. I guarantee it."
This short officer's Italian pronunciation is a bit weird.
Baz heard the bearded man next to him say: "Why does this officer's Italian have a Corsican accent?"
Buzz asked in confusion: "Where is Corsica?"
"On the sea, there is a poor and shabby island. It used to belong to Genoa, but was later sold to France by the Genoese."
The bearded man curled his lips and returned to the original topic: "Your Excellency the General speaks Italian with a very standard Milanese accent. He has definitely stayed in Milan, and maybe he was a guest of some great nobleman."
"But didn't he hang all the nobles?" Baz asked doubtfully.
"Yes, I heard that when he was in Paris, he was nicknamed the Noble Killer."
At this time, someone next to him said: "I heard that your Excellency the General was a cobbler before joining the army!"
"Nonsense!" the bearded man said angrily, "Where can there be such a learned cobbler?"
"I heard that the general is the illegitimate son of the Duke of Orleans, and he is fostered in the cobbler's house!"
"What? Doesn't that mean that he is the brother of the current King of France?"
"It's nonsense, the general is actually the brother-in-law of the current King of France!"
The Sequoia Army members started arguing, but Baz wasn't even listening. He followed the general who was gradually retreating and admired: "That's great. I want to be such a hero and be praised by others."
