Harry Potter’s Morning Light

   Chapter 2433 The battle of the night queen (below)

   On June 2, 1793, the Jacobins overthrew the Girondists and issued a general mobilization order calling for a large number of young people to join the army. In October of the same year, Saint-Just came to the north to inspect.

By then the battles of Valenciennes, Menen, and Hunschott had all ended, and the coalition split in the summer of 1793. Austria hoped to continue the attack on 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 experience in actual combat in Europe. Even soldiers who had participated in the American Revolution were faced with fortifications made of wood to protect the warehouse.

The    Valenciennes garrison, which included some of the soldiers who had withdrawn from the Fars battlefield, opened a trumpet-shaped position outside the fortress, and the Austrian commander insisted on sieging the trenches.

  Trenches are the most favorable for lowland terrain. While digging holes, the excavated soil can be piled up into mounds, but for the soldiers of both sides, trenches are a real nightmare, and they can be avoided if they can be avoided. But the allies have chosen to fight like this, what else can the British commander do?

  It was the Austrians who first launched a siege of the trumpet array, and the British personnel in charge of the auxiliary pushed forward with heavy artillery, but the Austrians in charge of the siege made slow progress. The Duke of York wrote a letter of protest, but because of the fierce words, he was condemned by the Austrians.

   At that time, a hot air balloon pilot was dispatched in order to obtain reinforcements, and the letter was delivered to Custin, the successor of the treasonous Doomriere.

  Kustin, who had served in the army of Louis XV, was a nobleman, and when he was appointed he was still in power with the Girondins. When he received the letter for help, his focus was on the Battle of Mainz, when Pishglu was also in the Rhine Army. Not only the besieged Valenciennes garrison needed support, but the Austrians as well.

The Austrians advanced along Louis XIV's post road, but before that, they had to tear open the defense line, and then there were battles such as the Battle of Menon. At that time, the road had not been destroyed, and both sides of the battle needed the line of communication. , not only to bring supplies, but also to allow support to arrive as soon as possible, and the heavy artillery that attacked Valenciennes was also transported through the Brussels Boulevard.

   It was indeed Pishgru who destroyed the line of communication, but it was not the Rhine Army he led, but the Batavia Army, the robbers who fled into the forest after the Brabantin uprising.

  Everyone has their own views on road building. Some people think that only when there is a road can they lead to the outside world, and they have the hope of getting rich and prosperous. Some people think that building roads is beneficial to the rich and delays their own business. When Louis XVI announced that in order to ease the burden on the peasants, he would exempt the corvée from road construction, which infuriated the peasants, and some people had long wanted to destroy the Brussels Boulevard, the road that represented the "victory of the king".

  The battles in 1794 were almost all about fighting for rivers, especially near the Rhine. Only the locals dared to be so ruthless. They did not hesitate to blow up bridges and roads, and it was a big deal to rebuild afterwards.

   No one wants their home to be scorched, but as long as the line of communication is cut off, soldiers will not pass by their home.

   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 thinks this scene is very strange, and the male protagonist is an Egyptian prince. These actors with animal heads and human bodies are 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 did not speak.

  When the prince played his flute and the bird catcher played his own pan flute, the two seemed to be connected. But then the pursuers came, and the bird catcher took out the music box given to him by the maid of the night, and the pursuers who heard the music danced uncontrollably. The fowler and the princess took the opportunity to slip away, and as soon as they reached a place that seemed to be safe, there was another horn sound, and Sarastro had returned from hunting.

  The curtain was raised again, this time the theater lights were bright, the audience applauded, and Sarastro, who inherited the sun mirror, appeared.

   Not only the tenor needs a big belly, it seems that the bass needs it too, Sarastro's flamboyant dress makes him stand out in the crowd and doesn't need to be identified to be recognized.

   Sarastro punishes the servant who has been trying to catch the princess and the fowler, a rather annoying character, and the crowd sings, "How fair is Sarastro the godlike".

  Then the prince and the bird catcher were blindfolded, escorted down, and taken to the Temple of Trials.

  The curtain was lowered again, and it was time for an intermission.

   Everyone stood up, and the manager took Georgiana to the previous lounge as before, but she just walked two steps and found that Edgeworth was not following.

   She looked back and saw that a servant had given him a note, and he turned around to follow.

  Georgianna didn't ask any further questions. She followed the manager to the lounge. It was the same process as before. The others went to the dance venue next door, but this time she had to attend, because the conductor would also go to greet others.

   This is part of the "process", when everyone is in, there is another knock on the door, this time it is Figl in dragoon uniform standing outside.

   "We should go, ma'am."

  Georgianna took a deep breath and left the lounge with her head held high.

   Rather than being the center of attention, she actually wanted to hold her boyfriend's arm, say bad things about "big guys" while drinking, and then giggled.

   She hadn't had time to ask Padma if she felt happier if she changed her partner.

  What's so urgent, wait for half an hour, and don't have time to show up?

   In the scene just now, the princess said she wanted to leave Sarastro's territory, and Georgiana also thought the same.

   It would be nice if the princess could become an Animagus and fly away as a swan.

   At this moment Georgiana walked into the hall, and everyone smiled and applauded her, as if she was a great person.

  All conditioned dharmas are like dream bubbles, dew and electricity.

   Napoleon's regime will only be ten years away. By then, she has lost all her asylum. How will others describe her?

   Fortunately, her name is "Georgianna", she doesn't exist at all, just like the protagonist in the story, also compiled by the writer.

   Maybe she can try to jump into the sea and disappear into the sea foam.

   She is not like the Queen of Night, who has so much hatred, and even needs to sacrifice her daughter's pure soul for revenge.

   "Nox."

   She followed the voice and saw that it was Sirius who was an adult. He was standing in the crowd and was smiling at her.

  The crowd surrounded her, obscuring Sirius, and then he disappeared.

   That was the best dance partner, but unfortunately she missed it.

   Or she didn't dare to think that Sirius was like a prince in the school, and she was good at being a "transparent person".

   This occasion is much more advanced than the school dance, but only the Triwizard Tournament dance that Fudge deliberately made to salvage the riots caused by the Quidditch World Cup can be compared. However, there was still a problem with the Triwizard Tournament, and covering up was not the answer.

  As a result of the defeats of Condé and Valenciennes, and the tendency of Koustin to be against the Jacobins, he became the first general to be guillotined.

  It would be too bad if Napoleon's ending was the same, she might as well not appear as a black swan.

   "Lord Petty is waiting for you."

   Edgeworth said suddenly in her ear.

   She looked back at him, Richard waved to the distance, and the other party also waved, it was Henry Petty.

   She glanced at Edgeworth calmly, then moved on as if nothing had happened.
