Fox of France

v1 Chapter 110: , Toulon (eight)

Polina ran around in the fog, with gunshots, cannons, and shouts all around. Polina was still very scared at first, but soon, after a series of violent explosions, she discovered that the sound of guns seemed to have diminished. After a while, the shouts of "Long live the Republic" were all around.

At this time the fog gradually dissipated. Polina saw a group of soldiers in blue uniforms cheering not far from her—obviously, they had won the battle just now.

A bearded veteran noticed Polina and walked towards him.

"Hey, kid, why did you get here?" the soldier asked.

"My brother and I ran away. Our ship encountered a storm at sea, floated for several days, and then landed here, and then..." Polina hurriedly said, "Did you see my brother? "

"Ah, you are so unfortunate that you ran to the battlefield in a daze. I didn't see your confused brother. How could he leave his brother in such a place? But I can ask our people to help. You look for it," the veteran said.

Polina was only a thirteen-year-old sister-in-law at this time. She was wearing boy clothes again, and her hat covered her hair again. (To say that Napoleon's clothes when she was a child still fits well.) As a result, the veteran regarded her as a little Zhengtai who had not changed her voice.

"Come with me, and I will help you to ask questions." The veteran said so, and took Polina to the fortress and shouted to a soldier who was flying the tricolor flag on the fortress: "Euren, look. Arrived at another, similar to this child, did civilians come to the battlefield?"

"What did you say?" Eugene asked, "I can't hear you..."

Maybe it was because he didn't concentrate well, the tricolor flag in his hand slipped and fell from the fortress.

Everyone's expressions have changed, because the tricolor flag cannot be hung up. This omen is really too bad. Generally speaking, the more survival depends on luck, the more superstition. The army is a place where all kinds of superstitions are very concentrated. When the navy eats fish, after eating one side, it is never allowed to turn it over first, and then eat the other side, because they taboo the action of "turning"; as for the army, there are also a lot of superstitions about the flag. Everyone believes that if the flag falls to the ground, it indicates that the army will encounter setbacks.

The tricolor flag slowly fell in the morning breeze, and everyone ran following the flag, trying to catch it in the air and not let it fall on the ground. Even the veteran, leaving Polina behind, ran after the flag.

"Catch it, catch it!" everyone shouted.

But I don’t know what’s going on. There was a sea breeze. The falling tricolor flag suddenly turned around and fell towards Polina. Polina stretched out her hand and caught it. Tricolor flag.

"That kid, that kid caught the banner! Great!" someone shouted.

"that is really good!"

Also according to superstition, if the flag is blown off by the wind, whoever catches her in the middle, then he will hung the flag back by himself, and bad luck will pass, and good luck will follow.

So the veteran walked up to Polina, bent down and said, "Thank you, boy, you caught the battle flag. Would you like to help us raise this flag again?"

...

Lucien was terrified at the loss of Polina. He knew that if Napoleon knew about this, he would definitely beat him up, maybe, his **** would be beaten into pieces; and when he returned to Paris, Joseph couldn't spare him either. To be precise, he would not be spared. He and Napoleon. Because Joseph had long thought he was unreliable, and Napoleon supported him...

So Lucien crashed on the battlefield like a headless fly. The soldiers cheered. Lucien kept asking them, "Did you see my sister? Did you see my sister?" But everyone ignored him.

At this time, the soldiers suddenly cheered toward the fortress. Lucien also looked over there, and was suddenly taken aback.

"Damn it! What did I see? That's... that's..."

That was Polina. She stood on the highest point of the fort with high spirits and hung a tricolor flag. The soldiers cheered vigorously at her, and Polina, who was crazy, completely forgot about looking for her brother. She even learned that the soldiers below who were waving their hats towards her took off their hats and turned towards her. They waved, and then her long hair fluttered with the tricolor flag in the morning breeze.

A few years later, when the Bonaparte man came to the throne of power, this story of Polina was spread everywhere by all kinds of interested people. The plot of the story was also lost by Polina into the battlefield by mistake, and happened to receive it. The flag turned into Polina who entered the battlefield by mistake, and held high the flag in the hands of the flag bearer who thought she had sacrificed on the battlefield, leading the warriors of France to fight the enemy bravely, and finally defeated the British (the British said: obviously it is Spain People!) regained Toulon. Some people even gave Polina the title "Jan of Toulon". Of course, in this regard, Polina said: "What? There are people who think I have "Jan of Arc"?"

(The original life style of Polina in time and space was very bold, and she was a famous "Laughter Generation Girl." It is said that when the sculptor Canova gave her a statue, he once wanted to treat her as the goddess of hunting. But Bo Lena said: Let's do it like Venus, because the goddess of hunting is still the goddess of chastity. Is there anyone in Europe who believes that there is any chastity in me?)

But at this time, although the soldiers were cheering at her, they didn't regard her as a "saint". At most, they only regarded her as a kind of auspiciousness. And Lucien ran towards the fort.

Beside the fort, a few soldiers stopped him: "Who are you and why are you running here? Are you a spy for the British?"

"I'm the younger brother of General Napoleon Bonaparte, and my sister is inside, and I want to see her!" Lucien yelled quickly, knowing that on the battlefield, just suspicion can kill people. And he shouted like this, whether people believe it or not, at least until he is clear, he will definitely not be shot.

"Are you the brother of General Bonaparte?" The soldiers obviously didn't believe it, but, as Lucien thought, they had to verify first.

"If you lie to us, you will die miserably." A soldier said.

At this time, a group of cavalry came towards this side, a soldier ran over and said a few words to an officer over there, and the officer came over on horseback.

"Lucien? Why are you here?"

"Ah, Napoleon! Our ship has been blown here by the wind... Polina is in the fortress now..."

...

Soon after, the soldiers saw a good show. Their general, holding his whip, chased his brother and beat, while Lucien ran vigorously around Polina.

"Lucien, a man of a man, don't hide behind a woman!" Napoleon said.

"Man, you have to have your own opinions, how can you just say what you want?" Lucian panted in response.

"Polina, get out of the way and let me kill this unreliable bastard!"

"Napoleon, don't fight Lucien, this matter..."

It was making a noise, and Augereau came over: "General, the British cavalry appeared!"

Napoleon stopped and gave Lucien a fierce look: "I'll clean up you later!"

Then he dropped his whip and passed by Augereau.

The British sent only a small group of cavalry to scout. This is also normal. Dawu has just retreated from the front. How can they mobilize the army immediately and launch a counterattack at such a fast speed? However, the appearance of the British cavalry meant that a new battle was about to break out.

"The British don't know the meaning of this fortress. If they lose here, they can't defend Toulon. They will come to counterattack soon. Augereau, find some people and keep Polina Take that foolish hat to a safe place. There is going to be a war here." Napoleon said.

As Napoleon had judged, the British quickly reacted. They quickly launched a counterattack to Mulgrave fortress, because they knew that for every second of delay in the counterattack, the French defense at Mulgrave fortress would become stronger. The success rate of their counterattack will decrease.

Therefore, at noon on the same day that UU read www.uukanshu.com, they launched a large-scale attack on Mulgrave fortress with insufficient preparation.

The British first blasted Mulgrave fort with cannons. Then the lobster soldiers in red uniforms lined up and approached.

Mulgrave fortress is a new type of fort. In order to resist the artillery shells, its walls are less than two meters high and have a large slope, which makes this kind of wall almost impossible to collapse in the face of shelling. But if the enemy's infantry rushed up, they could even rush up to the city wall after a run-up.

Napoleon’s army has just captured Mulgrave fortress. The details of the fortress are not very clear, and there is no available artillery table. So although the British attack was not fully prepared, Napoleon’s defense was , The same is not fully prepared.

Almost one of the British guys pressed all the cards up, and placed five or six thousand troops in this attack at once. But the defensive bonus of the fortress is still not to be underestimated. Even if there is no shooting table, the effect of the shelling will be discounted, but as the British approached, the French artillery still caused considerable damage to the British. But the lobster soldiers hurriedly approached the fortress with gunfire.
