4, French troops defeated more than 1, Austrian troops, and Napoleon narrowly died on the battlefield several times. How can he turn over against the wind?

At dawn on November 15th, 1796, more than 2, French troops fought fiercely with the Austrian army at the entrance of the village. This was Napoleon's last chance. Once it failed, tens of thousands of French troops would be doomed. However, during the attack, the French army did not expect that a fatal accident appeared. It turned out that Napoleon took the lead in the chaos, accidentally fell off the dam, fell into the swamp, and was about to die. Just then, the vanguard of the Austrian army had arrived in front of him and blocked the French army behind him. This was probably one of the battles closest to death in Napoleon's military career, which was the battle for mantua that established Napoleon's position in China. 1. Fighting for the "key" of Italy In 1793, King Louis XVI of France was pushed to the guillotine by the people, and the feudal forces in neighboring countries of France rolled up an anti-French frenzy. In the spring of 1796, in order to drive out foreign interference forces and maintain France's stability, the French governor decided to send troops in two ways, one from Germany to attack the allied troops, and the other from the south to defend the allied troops from invading France. At this time, the fledgling Napoleon served as the commander-in-chief of the French and Italian armies. To people's surprise, he led an impoverished army and triumphed all the way in Italy. By the end of May, Napoleon had reached the last line of defense of the Austrian army, crossed the Mingqiao River and besieged the Italian town of mantua. Mantua is located at the intersection of the Po River and the Mingqiao River in Italy, with dangerous terrain and remarkable fortifications. It is known as the "key to Italy" and is associated with the main traffic routes between the north and the south of Italy. Once it is occupied, it will take the road south to March into the whole southern region, and its strategic position is self-evident. At this time, 15, Italian Austrian army down archers retreated to mantua, waiting for the support of the Austrian army. Napoleon had besieged the city before the Austrian reinforcements arrived. At this time, in order to ensure Italian control, the Austrian emperor had to save mantua at all costs. Therefore, the Austrian Emperor invited a highly respected 72-year-old veteran Marshal Villm Ze to lead 6, soldiers to conquer Napoleon's army. On the other hand, Napoleon's army has brought 4, troops since the beginning of the war. If it were not for the victory in Italy and the supplement, this army would have problems with food, clothing, housing and transportation. Although the strength of the two armies stood high and low, Napoleon was not afraid. Second, the fatal mistake of the Austrian army. Villm Ze, who received the order, immediately went to mantua in three ways, and vowed that the Austrian army would recapture Milan under his leadership before August, but he had not yet fought with the French army, so he made the first mistake. According to the instructions of Villm Ze, his deputy Kosdanovic was ordered to lead an army to occupy the west bank of Garda Lake. When the main force entered the French army, he sneaked on the side, while Villm Ze went down the Adige River from the east bank of the lake. At the same time, he sent Vidovic troops to attack Legnago from the east side of the main force to contain the French army. Villm Ze's arrangement seems to be no problem, but he ignores Napoleon's attention to intelligence. When Napoleon learned all the movements of the enemy, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, because the three columns of Villm Ze were not connected at all, especially the West Road Army was separated from the other two armies by a big lake, and it was difficult to support each other. Therefore, Napoleon immediately withdrew from mantua for mobile operations. The arrogant Villm Ze was able to enter mantua without any hindrance, and he added a little contempt to Napoleon's boldness. But the unfortunate news soon spread to the city. It turned out that when he entered the city, Napoleon had heavily defeated Kosdanovic's troops. Villm Ze had to immediately support the West Road Olympic Army, but it was too late. On August 5, the two armies met, and the French army first charged the Austrian right wing, then pretended to be defeated. Villm Ze immediately rejoiced, thinking that the enemy was powerless and launched a pursuit of the French army. But at the same time, the left wing of the Austrian army was hit hard by the enemy, and Villm Ze knew that he had been a diversion by the enemy. However, in the face of the specialty of heavy artillery bombardment by the French army, the Austrian army was already defeated. They had to chase and beat the French army and fled to the original base camp in Trent step by step. After this battle, the Austrian army injured more than 4, people, and its morale was greatly reduced. After seven days of fighting, Napoleon's army never washed or slept. After the end of the war, it marched endlessly and surrounded mantua again without stopping. Third, the veteran who suffered heavy losses when the French army got into trouble again was not willing to let the fledgling boy crush him, so he re-enlisted 5, troops to drive the French army out of Lombardy, the region where mantua was located. But this time he still made the previous mistake. Napoleon knew the enemy's situation in his heart and waited for the arrival of the main force of the Austrian army. When Damville Muze arrived in Bassano, he was completely out of the other column again. At this point, Napoleon's fighter plane came, and he immediately withdrew from mantua, mobilized huge forces and attacked the enemy's rear Roveretto with incredible speed. On September 4, under the fierce impact of the French army, the rear troops of the Austrian army were quickly annexed, and their coach had to escape from Roveretto. At this time, Villm Ze, who heard that the rear forces were completely annihilated, was dumbfounded. He thought that Napoleon's army would be affected by the defeat of the Rhine French army at this time and support the north. He just needed to wait for his defeat and wait for him when he evacuated from Italy. But I never thought he would become the rabbit. When the French army annexed the Austrian army in the rear, the morale of Napoleon's army was greatly boosted, and the main force of Villm Ze was annihilated with a marching speed of more than 6 miles in two days. The old general had to retreat to mantua. Originally immersed in the good news of the victory of the northern troops, the Austrian emperor had to hold a command meeting, and decided to transfer 6, elites from the Rhine front, under the command of Marshal Alvin Qi, who achieved excellent results in the Rhine front, to rescue the Austrian army in mantua. The quantity and quality of Alvin's troops are better than that of bevil Mze, and it is obvious that the French army is at a disadvantage again. However, Villm Ze's short-radius mistake Alvin Qi made again. In order to confuse Napoleon, Alvich asked Davidovic to lead 25, people to sneak attack the French flank along the south of Adige River, while his 35, people advanced into the Brenta River from the front, and the two armies joined forces in Verona, north of Mantua. Although Napoleon was still informed of the enemy's situation in advance this time, and sent some troops to guard the route of the Austrian army first, ready to divide and annihilate it as before, but this time the Austrian army was too strong, and it was difficult for the French army at the front to stop the main force of the Austrian army. Four, unexpected mobile warfare after hearing this, Napoleon had to leave 83 people surrounded by mantua, led 28 people to rescue massena, stop the Austrian troops stationed. As a result, a fierce encounter broke out between the two sides in Vicenza, and the French army was defeated and had to return to Verona. After the reorganization of the French army, Napoleon did not blame the soldiers who were defending the pass but lost, but encouraged them, but he did his best to ridicule the officers, questioned their ability and aroused their fighting spirit against the Austrian army. Sure enough, this defeated army will do its best to charge in the future. Subsequently, Napoleon adjusted his battle plan. He planned to defeat Alvin Qi's army before Davidovic and Alvin Qi joined together, and adopted a divide-and-conquer plan. At this time, Alvin Qi has arrived in Kale Tiero, which is not far from them. After finding out the enemy's situation, the French army took the lead in rushing to the enemy's position. When the two sides fought, the weather changed sharply and the storm swept the whole battlefield, which made it more difficult for the French army to attack. Soon after, the French army was repelled by the Austrian army with a large number of people and strong positions. Seeing that the Austrian army and the Austrian army were about to meet successfully, Napoleon decided to take an extremely bold and unexpected action. On the night when the French army was repelled, the French army left an army to disguise itself from the front, making the enemy mistakenly think that the French army was stationed in the position. In fact, the French army's large-scale troops detoured to the Arkkola village behind Alvinqi's troops and ventured to put themselves between the two armies of the Austrian army. To make matters worse, the French army is surrounded by swamps, which is not only difficult to attack, but also very dangerous to retreat. But at this time, the domestic governor * * * has feared Napoleon's prestige at home, and once he loses this war, he will be beyond redemption. With determination to cross the rubicon, Napoleon led the French army to launch an attack on the Austrian army in the village, and the two sides fought for the bridge in Arkkola village. When the Austrian army, which had not attracted much attention, found out that this was the main force of the French army, the two sides had fought bitterly for the bridge. 5. Napoleon's life hangs by a thread, and the glory of the bridge in Arkkola, France has finally changed hands after three days of fighting. During this period, Napoleon took the lead and even lost his life because he was exposed to enemy fire. If the soldiers had not risked their lives to rescue him, I am afraid he would have been buried in the swamp. Seeing that the disadvantage of the French army became more and more obvious, Napoleon knew that frontal attack had been difficult to work. Looking at the Austrian army, which was neglected due to fatigue, Napoleon had a plan. He made an elite small-scale cavalry detour around the side of the Austrian army, pretending to be imposing, and sang a drama under siege. As expected, the Austrian army saw this situation and immediately messed up. The main force of the French army immediately grasped the fighter plane, attacked from the front and quickly seized the bridge. Napoleon took the lead in leading the French army, but unfortunately, an enemy Grenade came directly at him. Just when Napoleon thought he was going to see God, his artillery captain pushed him away hard, but he sacrificed his own life. This may be Napoleon's closest to death. The fire of the Austrian army completely angered Napoleon and the French army. Under the temptation of anger, the French army laid down his life and charged, eventually crushing Alvin's army, and Napoleon won the key to victory. Hearing this, the Austrian emperor was afraid that Napoleon would take the opportunity to take Vienna and support the Italian Austrian army again, so Alvinzi once again had 6, soldiers. However, it may be that people are too old to be flexible, and he has repeated the same mistakes and has not learned from past wars. On January 13th of the following year, the Austrian army met with a French army of Napoleon and fell into a bitter struggle. Napoleon took advantage of the time won by the French army to lead his troops to the Livori Mountain, and looked down at the valley by dim moonlight at night. The numerous bonfires of the Austrian army had already frightened some French troops, but Napoleon found that the enemy gunfire had not yet arrived. Napoleon decided to force Alvin Qi to attack the French army in the future of artillery, so he sent troops to harass the Austrian army. Awed by the French army, Alvin Qi immediately thought it was the main force of the French army and launched a fierce attack on the harassing troops. Alvinzi's performance was exactly what Napoleon wanted. He immediately woke up the sleeping French artillery in the middle of the night and used the high ground to bombard the Austrian army. Under the coordinated operation of various arms of the French army, the Austrian army is at an extreme disadvantage. Seeing that it was difficult to rush to the highlands, the Austrian army sent a division to make a detour and tried to occupy the highlands. However, every move of the Austrian army had long been expected by Napoleon, and the Austrian army was finally hit by the French army. Before the Austrian army occupied the highland in the rear, the whole army fled. In the end, the mantua War ended with Napoleon's victory. The battle for mantua was another pinnacle of Napoleon's first anti-French alliance after the Battle of Toulon. The fall of mantua indicates that Austria can no longer dominate mantua, and France has won the right to speak in the Italian region. The people admire heroes. At this time, the French governor * * * was corrupt and incompetent, but Napoleon risked his life to win one glory laurel after another for France, causing the fear of the governor * * *, but it was the people's belief in him that made the French governor * * * dare not jump to the killer. Napoleon was saved by the people, and France was honored by Napoleon. In today's era, advocating heroes is an eternal topic. Advocating heroes is the recognition of the spirit of self-sacrifice, which is not a brand of mediocrity for the people. After all, the history of long years has always been written by the people. But the hero is a milestone of an era, and he is the symbol and belief of the glorious history of a country and a nation. The establishment of the new China cannot be separated from the brave sacrifice of the martyrs, and the growth of the new China cannot be separated from the painstaking efforts of the two founding fathers. Our nation is not short of epic heroes. Only by respecting past heroes and continuing to write yesterday's chapters can we have today's prospects!
