Napoleon II Reborn

(Chapter 1 arrives, there will be chapter 1 later!)

After receiving the support of domestic reinforcements, the Iberian Army had to leave Paris and retreat, and Kutuzov and others breathed a sigh of relief. The great battle that broke out on July 27 made him palpitate. The French army's firepower was already enviable enough, but compared with the Iberian army, it was simply the gap between the sky and the ground. Kutuzov's 100,000 army was defeated after being supported for an hour under the impact of others. If he hadn't ordered the desperate resistance, and the soldiers' fighting will was very strong, the army might have collapsed long ago. But now it's all right, reinforcements have finally arrived. More than 600,000 troops are here, even if they can't beat the Iberian army, it is still very easy to hold the front line of Paris.

"Everyone, what measures should we take next? Now most of France's territory is controlled by Iberia, and in the end, only the areas north of the Loire River are controlled by us." Kutuzov asked. Now that the army of 500,000 has arrived, he has a lot of confidence.

"The Iberian army is taking advantage of the fire this time. If I hadn't wiped out the main force of the French army, how would they dare to enter France! No, they must be driven out of France." Grand Duke Charles suggested.

Clausewitz looked at the crowd, his mouth moved, but he held back and said nothing. Now Prussia is undoubtedly the weakest among several countries, and its right to speak is much smaller. From his point of view, the war was almost over at this point. The war that lasted for half a year has depleted Prussia's national power to a very terrifying point. He believes that other countries except the UK are similar, but because their family background is richer than Prussia, they can last for a while.

"There are only 300,000 Iberian troops entering France now, and we now have more than 600,000. As long as there are no problems in the strategy, it is still very possible to defeat them." Wellington also echoed. Being beaten and fled by Xiao Jie in Iberia has always been regarded as the greatest shame by him, and the current situation is a very good opportunity for him.

"Since everyone thinks so, let's prepare to go to war with the Iberians again. If you have any good opinions, let us know. After all, the country doesn't have much strength left. If you can't defeat Iberia in a short time Leah, it will be very troublesome," Kutuzov said.

"Using the Loire River as a barrier, the Iberian Army has deployed a large number of troops in Orleans, Tours, Angers, Nantes and Saint-Nazaire. We may face great difficulties if we want to break through from this direction. Therefore I suggest that we concentrate our forces to attack the Morvan Mountains and the Saone River Valley. Although the Iberian Army has also built a line of defense there, relatively speaking, we face much smaller difficulties." Grand Duke Charles suggested.

"I think we should attack Orleans with the main force. From the perspective of terrain, Orleans is located on the north bank of the Loire River and is the protruding part of the Iberian army's defense line. It is much easier for us to attack there. In addition, the actual situation of Iberia Ruler Andresi is also in Orleans, as long as we can capture there and capture him, the war can basically end." Wellington suggested.

"Hmph, the ruler of a country is so easy to capture." Duke Charles said angrily. He and Wellington didn't like it too much, because Austria supported Francois's succession as the French emperor. After all, Francois is the grandson of Emperor Francis I of Austria, and Francois is still very young, so the power of France will be completely in the hands of Queen Marie Louise, and indirectly in Austria hands. But the British side expressed firm opposition to this proposal, and they proposed that the rule of the Bourbon royal family in exile in the UK should be restored in France. Prussia did not want to see Austria being too powerful, and also supported this proposal. Russia also expressed support for this in order to curry favor with Britain. In the end Austria had to compromise.

"Even if Andresi cannot be captured, as long as we occupy Orleans, Iberia's defense line will collapse. This will also be very beneficial for us to march into southern France." Wellington said with some contempt, he despised Cha Grand Duke Li thought that a person like him could become the commander of the Austrian Army entirely because he was the younger brother of the Austrian Emperor.

"But Orleans has gathered 100,000 Iberian troops. Are you really sure we can capture there?" Grand Duke Charles continued to counterattack.

"100,000? So what? Don't forget that we have more than 600,000 people. In addition to retaining enough troops to contain the Iberian army elsewhere, we can at least provide 300,000 to 400,000 people to attack Orleans. Don't you think Can't our 400,000 army take down a little Orleans?" Wellington sneered.

Grand Duke Charles wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Kutuzov: "You two should stop arguing. I also think that we, the British, attack Orleans. In this way, we can quickly end the war, which has been fought for so long. It should be difficult for all countries to continue to support the war. General Clausewitz, what's your opinion?"

Seeing that both Kutuzov and Wellington were inclined to attack Orleans, Kutuzov asked his opinion just for fun, and his opinion was useless in the real sense. "For attacking Orleans, I have no problem." Clausewitz said.

"Then it's settled like this. I'm announcing that preparations for war will begin immediately. Five days later, that is, on August 12, the attack on Orleans will begin." Kutuzov finally said. Because Russia sent the most soldiers in this war, Kutuzov also became the leader of the four.

Next, the four discussed how many troops each country would send in the plan to attack Orleans. Since Grand Duke Charles was not interested in this plan, he just thought about it and sent 50,000 people to participate. Russia sent 200,000 people, Britain 100,000, and Prussia 50,000. Kutuzov and the others were not angry about the actions of Grand Duke Charles, because after the war, the distribution of benefits was also based on how much each country contributed in the war. Austria contributed less, and the benefits he received would be relatively large. less.

"His Royal Highness, the anti-French coalition forces have been actively mobilizing recently, and they are likely to be preparing for a major military operation. After investigation, they are likely to target Orleans. Do you want to leave Orleans first?" Dougal, Eck and Mi Sender found Xiao Jie and suggested to him.

"What? Don't you have the confidence to defend Orleans? Don't worry! I guarantee that my existence will not cause trouble to you. What you should consider now is not my safety, but how to arrange it so that Orleans can be defended." Xiao Jie frowned and said.

Dougal and the others glanced at each other, they were very aware of Xiao Jie's temper, once he made a decision, it would be difficult to change, so Xiao Jie refused to leave Orleans, and they had no other choice but to choose to compromise. What's more, Xiao Jie's military talent is obvious to all. With him around, he can also give them a lot of advice.

Next, the four of them discussed in Xiao Jie's office. Xiao Jie's opinion is very clear. Now Iberia has only assembled 300,000 people on the front line, while the anti-French alliance has more than 600,000. But Xiao Jie was not afraid. He believed that the quality of weapons and soldiers could effectively make up for this. It was not impossible for 300,000 Iberian troops to defeat 600,000 anti-French allied troops. But what is certain is that even if Iberia wins the final victory, the loss is definitely unacceptable. If you can avoid head-on encounters with the enemy, it would be great to find another time to occupy northern France. So, after some discussion, the tone of the battle was set. That is, the Iberian army will show strong combat effectiveness in the battle, in order to oppress the anti-French alliance, achieve the effect of defeating the enemy without fighting, and force them to choose to negotiate with Iberia. After negotiating domestic products ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ the anti-French alliance army withdraws from France, it will be time for the Iberian army to regain northern France.

Next, the deployment of the Iberian Army was completely around this center, and all the heavy artillery of the Artillery Brigade of the 88th Army was pushed into the artillery position. The naval fleet anchored at Saint-Nazaire also set sail after receiving Xiao Jie's order. They will send 6 'Iberia' class warships to Orleans to assist the Orleans defenders with their powerful naval guns. . Originally, Xiao Jie hoped to send the 'Bonaparte' class warships, but because the middle reaches of the Loire River is too shallow, it is barely possible to pass the Iberia class warships, but it is impossible to pass the 'Bonaparte' class warships. Definitely run aground. The airship troops are also coming, and they will definitely bring a very shocking blow to the Anti-French Alliance. Originally, Xiao Jie wanted to bring in a few more train cannons, but those things are very effective in sieges, but they will be greatly reduced in field battles, and the failure rate is very high. Not worth it.

On August 12, the anti-French coalition forces headed by Kutuzov mobilized a total of 400,000 people and began their attack on Orleans. 400,000 people surrounded Orleans with three layers inside and three layers outside. Due to the threat of the Iberian Navy on the Loire River, they could not complete the siege of Orleans. It's just that they never thought that the Iberian army had already made preparations, and what awaited them would be an overwhelming blow.
