Chapter 2443 "Sheep" and "Wolf" (4)

Dragoons originally originated from mounted infantry. However, before the French Revolution, dragoon uniforms were no longer suitable for dismounted infantry combat, although their equipment did not change much.

The cavalry must first have horses, but during the Battle of the Pyramids, the cavalry was surrounded by scholars and baggage in a square formation because they were too precious.

The battle of Marengo did use cavalry, and it was the heavy cavalry charge that turned the tide of the battle. However, Napoleon did not take them with him when he crossed the Alps. It can be seen from David's paintings that except for the first consul in gorgeous court uniforms

In addition, the people in the background are all infantry, they are pulling cannons, and the cavalry is the follow-up reinforcement.

All in all, before the Battle of Marengo, Napoleon used disguises to make all the spies believe that the old, weak, sick and disabled he was reviewing in Dijon were the troops he was about to lead, and the army he really wanted to mobilize had already passed through small groups.

The campaign was assembled in Geneva.

This time he gathered a group of people for a military parade in Brussels, but he himself was nowhere to be seen. Not many people came to participate in the military parade. It was probably just a column guarding a flag bearer. It didn't look like a military parade at all.

A magnificent look.

Where is Bonaparte? That's a good question. People all over the world seem to be looking for him, especially Prussia and the British. With the British ambassador to Hamburg, George Rumbold, having his freedom restricted, Prussia is almost famous.

Sweeping the floor, although the French army did not enter Hamburg, Prussia's status as a guarantor in the Armed Neutrality Alliance was in jeopardy. If the Prussian royal family ceded Hamburg at this time, the power of Prussia's neutral areas would be emptied, and those small and medium-sized cities would turn

into the Russian camp.

The UK has not yet issued a statement saying that the assassination has nothing to do with the UK, and it has not said that it will extradite Pishglu. After all, Pishglu is not the only rebel under British protection.

There is no basis for demanding the release of Rumbold. Anyway, it just makes people feel uneasy. Since 1800, the French cavalry organization has begun to change. From a mixed heavy cavalry and light cavalry, it gradually changed to a centralized heavy cavalry.

The light cavalry were concentrated together, and the cannons were recast, turning one twelve-pounder into two six-pounders.

Still the same problem, artillery is easy to recast, but cavalry horses are difficult to obtain. The French army's artillery and cavalry tactics are roughly like this. When the enemy infantry escapes the devastating damage caused by the precise targeting of artillery shells, it will use a large number of

The cavalry drove the infantry away and prevented them from moving to new areas.

The infantry can no longer retreat and has to resist the cavalry. The French cavalry will line up in two lines. The first line is to disrupt the infantry formation and open up the way for the new troops behind. The second line attacks the already chaotic infantry. In the Battle of Marengo

, Kellermann's cavalry participated in 5 charges and 5 melees in 4 hours. Such a gallop and total amount of fighting would have been incredible, but Kellermann did not retreat to the second line until after the fifth attack.

Sometimes people have potential that they don't even know they have. Georgiana appeared at the military parade the next day even though she was very tired and didn't sleep well the day before.

Of course she did not represent anyone in the military parade. Those standing on the rostrum were Belgian mayors or representatives, as well as French officials.

Perhaps due to this specification, there were not many soldiers participating in the military parade. After the military parade, Georgiana went to visit a nearby military hospital.

This hospital has received soldiers from various countries. Just like the women in Belgium, they will bandage soldiers from various warring countries. If they think that a war will break out, they will prepare bandages.

The hospital is empty now, but if a war breaks out, the hospital will not only be overcrowded. Even though the windows are opened for ventilation, there is still a nauseating smell in the hospital. In comparison, the smell of disinfectant is not that unpleasant, just like dead rats.

And the smell of cut grass. Fortunately she didn't have breakfast.

After visiting the hospital, the next stop was supposed to be the "Imperial College of Arts and Sciences" in Brussels, but before that, Georgiana was arranged to rest in a place for a while, and then the police who had been to the castle the night before came, and he took him

A man came over. He looked to be in his 40s, had ginger hair, a beard on his lips, and looked depressed.

"Are you White Shavit?" Georgiana asked.

"And you are the mistress." The ginger-haired man sniffed, "You are different from what the rumors say."

Georgiana did not ask him what he was like in the rumors.

"Please take a seat, sir."

Under the strange gaze of the Belgian policeman, White sat down and took out his cigarette as a habit.

"Do you mind?" he asked symbolically.

Georgiana didn't answer him, so he lit the cigarette and the room was filled with the smell of low-quality tobacco.

"Smoke less," she suggested. "You will shorten your life if you do this."

He smiled bitterly.

"People die every day. I have seen many people who thought they would not die, but they all died in the end."

"How have you been lately?" Georgiana asked.

"There is hot water, food, and French red wine every day. What do you think I still need?" White said with a smile.

"You don't want to be free?" Georgiana asked.

"I've been wandering on the streets for two years, and I think I'm free enough." White said expressionlessly, "Just say whatever you want to ask."

"you are married?"

"No, do you want to marry me?"

"have kids?"

White laughed, "I'm not married, how can I have children?"

"There are many children in my shelter who don't have fathers." Georgiana smiled, "Or their fathers love freedom too much."

"No children." White said provocatively. "No pets, no parents, just me. Is that enough?"

"You don't look like a person who likes children. Why did John Fielding give you the job of looking after a key witness?"

White stared at Georgiana for a while, his eyes were sharp and not sluggish at all.

"Do you know what these are for?"

"I just want to get to know you better." Georgiana said. "I don't know, have you heard... Bonaparte wants to promote public trials and jury systems in the Rhineland. I think you and the one on Bow Street will be connected."

It comes in handy."

White laughed.

"why are you laughing?"

"You called him Bonaparte?"

"What's this..."

"Tell me what you call him privately, and I'll tell you my story."

"What if I don't tell you?"

"I'm going back to eat steak and drink red wine, where should you go?" White said vulgarly.

"Don't talk to the lady like that," the policeman at the door said.

"Just this? You don't have any other requirements?" Georgiana asked.

"Can you send a girl to the military camp?"

Georgiana shook her head and almost couldn't help but want to leave.

"This is your last chance." The police said, "No one will come again."

White said nothing and looked at Georgiana.

"Because of 1.5 pounds of beef." White took a puff of cigarette and said slowly, "Do you think a person is worth dying for?"

"A man was sentenced to death for stealing beef?" asked Georgiana.

"No, the judge did not sentence him to death, but only let him stay in prison for three months. He finally hanged himself in prison." White said calmly, "Do you want to hear this story?"

"I'm all ears." She said calmly.

Then White started telling a story that was bound to make people feel bad.
