Harry Potter Morning Light
Chapter 2433 The Battle of the Queen of the Night (Part 2)
On June 2, 1793, the Jacobins overthrew the Girondins, issued a general mobilization order, and called on a large number of young people to join the army. In October of the same year, Saint-Just came to the north for inspection.
At that time, the Battle of Valenciennes, the Battle of Menen, and the Battle of Hunchott had all ended. In the summer of 1793, the coalition forces split. Austria hoped to continue to attack Cambrai, while the Duke of York believed that there should be a landing port. dunkirk. As for what happened in Valenciennes, it was because the British Army had no actual combat experience in European battlefields. Even soldiers who participated in the American Revolution faced wooden fortifications to protect warehouses.
The Valenciennes garrison, consisting of a portion of soldiers withdrawn from the field of Fars, formed a trumpet position outside the fortress, and the Austrian commander insisted on laying siege to the trenches.
Trenches are most beneficial to low-lying terrain. While digging holes, the soil dug out can be piled up into mounds. However, for soldiers on both sides, trenches are a real nightmare, and they can be bypassed if they can. But the allies have chosen to fight this way, what else can the British commander do?
It was the Austrians who first launched a siege on the horn array, and the British who were in charge of supporting them advanced with heavy artillery. However, the Austrians in charge of the siege made slow progress. The Duke of York wrote a letter of protest, but was condemned by the Austrians because of his violent words.
At that time, hot air balloon pilots were dispatched to obtain reinforcements, and the letter was sent to Coustin, the successor of Dumriere who had betrayed the country.
Coustin, a nobleman who had served in the army of Louis XV, was still in the Girondists when he received his appointment. When he received the request for help, his focus was on the Mainz battlefield, when Pischgru was also in the Army of the Rhine. It wasn't just the besieged Valenciennes garrison that needed support, but also the Austrians.
The Austrians advanced along the post road of Louis XIV, but before that, the opening of the defense line had to be torn open, and then there were battles such as the Battle of Menen. At that time, the road had not been destroyed, and both sides needed communication lines. , Not only can supplies be transported, but also support can arrive as soon as possible. The heavy artillery that attacked Valenciennes was also transported through Brussels Avenue.
It was indeed Pischglu who broke the line of communication, but it was not the Rhine Army he led, but the Batavian Army, that is, the robbers who fled into the forest after the Brabantine uprising.
Everyone has their own views on road construction. Some people think that only roads can lead to the outside world, and they have the hope of getting rich and prosperous. Others think that road construction is beneficial to the rich and delays their own affairs. When Louis XVI announced that in order to reduce the burden on the peasants, he would exempt the corvee for road construction, which angered the peasants, and some people had long wanted to destroy the Brussels Avenue, which represented the "victory of the king".
Almost all the battles in 1794 revolved around the scramble for rivers, especially near the Rhine, and only the locals dared to be so ruthless. They did not hesitate to blow up bridges or roads, and at worst they rebuilt them afterwards.
No one wants their homeland to be reduced to scorched earth, but as long as the lines of communication are cut, soldiers will not pass by their homes.
At this time, the prince on the stage blew the magic flute, and the extras put on headgear representing animals and "played" in the "forest".
Georgiana thought the scene was weird, and the actor was an Egyptian prince. These actors with animal heads and human bodies were very similar to the Egyptian gods with animal heads in Egyptian mythology.
"What are they doing?" Padma asked.
"What do you think it looks like?"
Padma said nothing.
When the prince blew his flute and the bird catcher blew his panpipe, the two seemed to be hooked. But at this time the pursuers came, and the bird catcher took out the music box given to him by the maid of the night queen, and the pursuers danced uncontrollably when they heard the music. The fowler and the princess took advantage of this opportunity to slip away, and just when they were in what seemed to be a safe place, there was another blast of horns, and Sarastro returned from hunting.
The curtain rises again, this time the theater lights are turned on, the audience applauds, and Sarastro, who has inherited the Sun mirror, enters the stage.
It's not just the tenor who needs a big belly, it seems the bass needs it too, and Sarastro's gorgeous attire makes him stand out from the crowd and you don't need to be identified to recognize him.
Sarastro punishes the servant who has been trying to catch the princess and the fowler, who is a rather nasty character, and the crowd sings, "How fair is the godly Sarastro."
Then the prince and the fowler were blindfolded, escorted down, and taken to the Temple of Trials.
Once again the curtain fell, and it was time for the intermission.
Everyone stood up, and the manager took Georgiana to the lounge as before, but she had just walked two steps and found that Edgeworth hadn't followed.
She glanced back and saw that one of the attendants had handed him a note, and he turned to follow.
Georgiana didn't ask much, and followed the manager to the lounge. It was still the same process as before, and the others went to the dance venue next door, but this time she had to attend, because the conductor would also go to greet other people.
This is part of the "process". After everyone went in, someone knocked on the door again. This time standing outside the door was Figel wearing a dragoon uniform.
"We should go, ma'am."
Georgiana took a deep breath and left the lounge with her head held high.
Rather than being the center of everyone's attention, she actually wanted to hold her boyfriend's arm, say bad things about "big shots" while drinking, and then giggle.
She hadn't had time to ask Padma if she felt happier with a different partner.
What is so urgent, waiting for half an hour, there is no time to show up?
In the play just now, the princess said that she wanted to leave Sarastro's territory, and Georgiana thought so too.
If only the princess knew the Animagus, turned into a swan and flew away.
Then Georgiana came into the hall, and everyone smiled and applauded her, as if she were some great personage.
All conditioned dharmas are like dreams and bubbles, like dew and electricity.
Napoleon's regime is still about ten years away. By then, she will lose all her asylum. How will others describe her?
Luckily her name was "Georgianna" and she didn't exist at all, just like the protagonist in the story, also made up by the writer.
Maybe she could try to jump into the sea and disappear by turning into sea foam.
Unlike Queen of the Night, she has so much hatred, and even needs to sacrifice her daughter's pure soul for revenge.
"Nox."
She followed the sound and found that it was the adult Sirius, standing in the crowd, looking at her with a smile.
The crowd surrounded her, covering Sirius' figure, and then he disappeared.
That was the best dance partner, but she missed it.
Or she didn't dare to think at all, Sirius was like a prince in school, and she was good at being a "transparent person".
This occasion was much more advanced than the school dance. Only the grand Triwizard Tournament dance that Fudge deliberately made to save the disturbance caused by the Quidditch World Cup could be compared. However, something went wrong in the Triwizard Tournament, and covering it up is not the way to go.
Due to the defeats at Condé and Valenciennes, and Coustin's anti-Jacobin tendencies, he was the first general to be guillotined.
If Napoleon's ending is the same, it would be too bad, she might as well not appear as a black swan.
"Lord Petty is waiting for you."
Edgeworth whispered in her ear suddenly.
She looked back at him, Richard waved into the distance, and the other waved back, it was Henry Petty.
She glanced at Edgeworth calmly, then moved on as if nothing had happened.
