An Ning was satisfied to see the French army appear on the house near the barricade and began to attack the Austrian army from a high position.
The Austrian army could not withstand this attack and quickly withdrew from the barricade.
An Ning turned to Napoleon and said, "See? This is our advantage now! Don't limit yourself to advancing along the main road, we must make use of the complex lanes in the city."
When the French army lacked training a year ago, they basically fought as skirmishers. They were in skirmish formations wherever they went. There was no need for drumbeats or military music, and the number of officers was insufficient.
Under those circumstances, the French army was still able to advance and retreat in a controlled manner, beating the crap out of the Prussian-Austrian coalition.
Although the French army still lacks middle- and senior-level officers at the colonel level, the ranks of non-commissioned officers below have been greatly enriched by being promoted from the front lines of the war.
The French army led by non-commissioned officers could disperse into the city like later armies, walk through streets and alleys, climb through windows, bypass strongly fortified barricades, and attack the enemy from above and behind.
This is how the next generation's army crushes the current generation's army.
The Prussian-Austrian coalition cannot carry out this kind of battle. Once they enter the alley, they will not be able to get out. Most of the soldiers will flee.
After all, these soldiers are just sheep driven by noble gentlemen, and they have no intention of fighting for their own nation.
After An Ning handed over the command to Napoleon, Napoleon said excitedly: "I understand, our soldiers are a pack of wolves, while the enemy only has officers and non-commissioned officers who are shepherd dogs, and the soldiers are a pack of sheep! A wolf pack can execute an operation but a sheep group cannot.
tactics!"
An Ning said with a straight face: "Your metaphor is very good. I will wait for your good news next. How many days will it take for you to capture Ulm?"
“One day is enough!”
Napoleon beat his chest and promised.
An Ning nodded: "Then I'll go back and drink champagne and wait for your good news."
Napoleon is now the commander of the army, but An Ning also wants to promote him to be a commander in charge of one aspect.
For example, let him command the French army in the direction of Spain, let him understand how bad things are in Spain.
Spain has not yet gone to war with France, but there is no guarantee that there will not be one in the future.
After all, in the original history, the Anti-French Alliance was initially a joint effort by all feudal countries to strangle the progressive republic.
It is "all the reactionary forces have united". Spain is also a feudal country now. From the perspective of tranquility, it is a high probability that it will participate in the war in the future.
In short, it is necessary for Napoleon to gain more merit.
Berthier took a step forward: "At this time, your personal command can effectively boost the morale of our army."
An Ning glanced at Berthier dissatisfied.
The chief of staff looked suddenly enlightened: "Oh, that's right, I understand, I completely understand!"
An Ning thought Berthier's change in expression was very interesting, so she asked, "What do you understand?"
"Your Excellency is very thoughtful in allowing our senior officers the opportunity to gain experience."
An Ning smiled: "You are really good at talking, let's go. By the way, the logistics of Napoleon's troops need to keep up. When I entered the city, I saw that many people were so hungry that their faces were emaciated. I gave them sufficient supplies.
"Also, in order to take care of the mood of the troops, other troops will not enter the city for the time being, but will move downstream along the Danube River, approaching Dillingen and Donauwörth!
“If there is no enemy garrison in these cities, cross the river and control the ferry; if there is enemy garrison, confront the enemy across the river.
"Spread out our seven armies along the Danube River, and then investigate the fortifications in various places.
"We are going to find a ferry that is weakly defended by the enemy and forcefully cross the Danube River, and then go straight to Augsburg and make a big dumpling!"
Berthier nodded repeatedly.
After An Ning finished speaking, he said as usual: "Repeat it again!"
Berthier immediately repeated it, and it was the kind of combat plan that was summarized, organized and organized and could be executed step by step.
An Ning nodded: "Okay, you go ahead and execute it. Fanny, where's Fanny? Set up a table for me by the Danube River. I want to enjoy the scenery of the Danube River while watching Napoleon destroy the Prussian-Austrian coalition forces in the city."
Fanny glanced at the city filled with smoke in confusion: "You said... the scenery of the Danube River? This scenery has been destroyed long ago, right?"
An Ning thought to herself, "I'm trying to maintain my character, what do you know?" On the surface, he said, "If you only look at the Danube and ignore the situation on the other side of the river, the scenery is indeed pretty good."
"Well, if you have this pleasure, I won't hold you back." Fanny said helplessly.
After a while, An Ning left the city and sat next to the bridge where Lasalle was guarding, watching the Danube play with its depths while holding a glass of wine.
On the road next to him, the troops who had been rushing for reinforcements turned left one by one and drove out along the Danube River.
Berthier placed his headquarters across the river from An Ning, and messengers kept riding across the wooden bridge, not forgetting to salute when passing by An Ning.
Just looking at this scene, it is indeed quite peaceful.

Alvinzi couldn't understand what was happening for a while. The barricade defense that had been so effective suddenly became unreliable, and news came one after another that the barricades had been breached.
The most annoying thing was that the troops who retreated from the barricade ran directly out of the city, spreading frightening rumors as they ran:
"Frost is here!"
"Our army is defeated! Our army is defeated!"
Alvinzi was so angry that he ordered his guards to arrest those bastards who spread rumors and shoot them if caught.
As a result, the guards quickly reported that there were too many deserters, and everyone claimed that Frost was here and they couldn't catch them.
The most troublesome thing is that many people from the Guards themselves ran away.
Frost is like a sword of Damocles hanging over the heads of the Prussian-Austrian coalition, and you have to worry about it striking down at any time.
Alvinzi lost his temper: "This is bullshit! In the future, if the French army just stabs a Frost scarecrow, they will turn around and run away like this?"
Alvinzi's chief of staff was still showing off his humor: "I'm afraid just a scarecrow won't work. I have to put on a military uniform and fly an eagle flag."
Alvinzi glared at the chief of staff with a look that could kill, and finally told him to shut up.
Then the Prussian commander, the Duke of Braunschweig, said: "How on earth did they break through the barricade? Did they use cannons to shoot at close range? Even if Frost really arrived, he wouldn't be able to solve the barricade so efficiently, right?"
Alvinzi shook his head: "I don't know, maybe Frost really summoned the Roman troupe, formed a turtle shell formation with shields, and just broke through our barricade.
"This Frost, there is always something new! He can always surprise us!"
After speaking, Alvinqi sighed.
"Perhaps, the empire is really in trouble this time."
