For Napoleon's request to bring Murat back to France, Xiao Jie didn't have too much difficulty, and agreed directly. Without the support of the cavalry corps, Murat is like a tiger without teeth, which is nothing to worry about. The current Cavalry Corps has been completely controlled by Xiao Jie, all the key departments are controlled by Xiao Jie's people, and the low-level soldiers have also been bought with the same treatment as the 88th Corps, and they are happy to be content with the status quo.

Xiao Jie has never been in the habit of spitting out what he eats, and Napoleon also understands this, knowing that Xiao Jie now controls the cavalry corps, and it is basically impossible to take the cavalry corps back, so He also refused to mention the ownership of the cavalry corps, as if tacitly acquiescing Xiao Jie's approach.

The cavalry corps is a relatively high-strength troop in the battle ranks that France currently belongs to. There is only one in France. The current cavalry corps has been taken away by Xiao Jie. Knowing how to be a man, he directly sent someone to Napoleon to send 10 million francs as funds for the reconstruction of the Cavalry Legion. In this regard, Napoleon did not say much, and accepted Xiao Jie's "donation". Although he paid a price of ten million francs, Xiao Jie still took advantage of it. The cavalry is no better than the infantry. They form an army to be capable of fighting. It is not a matter of a day or two. The status of cavalry is also higher than that of ordinary infantry.

After Murat was brought back to France, Napoleon severely reprimanded Murat, but considering various reasons, he still did not give him any punishment. Later, Murat, who was not reconciled to having his military power taken away, asked Napoleon to resume his post again, but the former cavalry regiment now belonged to Xiao Jie. After all, he also knew that Xiao Jie didn't like him very much, and he also hated Xiao Jie to death. As a last resort, there is no way to be entangled by Murat. Besides, Murat is still very good at commanding cavalry operations. Few people in France can match it. The new cavalry regiment has not found a suitable commander, so let Murat La became the commander of the new cavalry regiment. Murat, who regained power, devoted a lot of enthusiasm to the newly-built cavalry corps, and even paid for the lack of military expenses out of his own pocket. As for the purpose, it was naturally very clear, that is to find Xiao Jie to avenge his shame. Of course, these are things for later.

Of course, Murat was not the only one who wanted Xiao Jie's revenge, and Arthur Wellesley who had just been defeated and fled like a bereaved dog. This time was the worst time he had been in the army for so many years. Even in the Netherlands last time, although he lost to Napoleon, he was able to retreat calmly with the help of the navy, but what about this time? He almost lost his life, so he was always thinking of seeking revenge from Xiao Jie.

On December 18th, Xiao Jie announced a new ban in Spain, that is, from now on, the Spaniards are no longer allowed to fight against the French army. Forgive the past, but if you continue to fight against the French army, there will only be one result, and that is to kill without mercy.

As soon as the ban came out, all the rebellious troops near Zaragoza disappeared. They saw how powerful Xiao Jie was, so naturally they didn't dare to stroke their beards. He felt that Xiao Jie was a very good prince, at least much better than the former Spanish King Ferdinand, so he also acquiesced to Xiao Jie's rule. But the rest of Spain didn't respond to Xiao Jie's ban, they continued to do what they should do, they didn't take Xiao Jie's ban seriously at all. It's not that they are ignorant, but that they simply don't know how powerful Xiao Jie is.

On the same day, Arthur Wellesley's escape journey finally came to an end. He and Frank finally arrived in Victoria with less than 2,000 remnants and joined the reinforcements from England.

After gathering the reinforcements, Arthur Wellesley swept away the past decline, regrouped, and prepared to fight Xiao Jie. After the last battle, Arthur Wellesley also had a little understanding of the combat power of the 88th Legion. He knew that the opponent's combat power was much higher than his, so he sent people to pay close attention to the 88th Legion as soon as he arrived in Victoria. While actively preparing for battle.

"Send someone to unite with Castagnos and let him lead the army to attack Zaragoza with us. We must destroy the main force of the 88th Army." Arthur Wellesley, who had just arrived in Victoria, issued his first an order.

"What is the current trend of the French army?" Arthur? Wellesley asked.

"Now the enemy cavalry regiment has advanced to Tudela. Its intention is very obvious. It wants to monitor our army. In addition, we have also received a very favorable news for our army. Andresi and Marmont disagreed and were shot. More than a dozen soldiers and officers of the 2nd Army who robbed Spanish civilians have now issued an order to transfer the 2nd Army back to France for rest. Now only the main force of the 88th Army, the Cavalry Legion and the remnants of the Imperial Guard remain in Zaragoza.” Frank report.

"Is the news correct? Is the 2nd Army really being transferred back to France?" Arthur Wellesley asked eagerly. He realized that this is an excellent opportunity. If the news is true, it is now located in Sarago Sa's French army has a total of less than 60,000 people. Although his 40,000 people are not the opponent's opponent, but if he adds Castagnos' army and continues to attack from both sides, he believes that this time he will definitely defeat the enemy. Xiao Jie defeated.

Frank nodded, giving him an affirmative answer.

"Okay, let Castagnos be notified immediately and ask him to lead an army to support us. This is a golden opportunity!" Arthur Wellesley exclaimed excitedly. He seemed to have seen how the 88th Army was defeated by them, and Xiao Jie ran away in embarrassment.

But then Frank brought him the news that Castagnos was unwilling to send troops. The reason was that to the east of him, Dougal was leading the 2nd Division of the 88th Army to march towards Madrid, which had threatened the safety of Madrid. This army must be dealt with.

"Castagnos is an idiot, he has a pig's brain completely. God! I really don't know how such an idiot got where he is today, and how we chose him as our ally." After learning After Castagnos refused to send troops, Arthur Wellesley cursed.

Of course Castagnos is not an idiot, otherwise there are so many generals in Spain, why did he take advantage of this opportunity to rise alone? In his eyes, whether it is the French or the British, they are the same. They both want to occupy Spain and enslave the Spanish people. In his opinion, Spain should be in the hands of the Spaniards themselves. Of course, this does not mean how noble he is. He is also for power. The Spanish people cannot be enslaved by other countries, they can only be enslaved by their own country . Now that the French and the British are fighting to death in Spain, of course he is the happiest. As long as he guards his place, everything will be fine. The harder the French and the British fight, the happier he will be. It is best if both sides fight Both sides will lose, and it would be best if he, the fisherman, gains in the end. In that case, the world will be quiet and Spain will be safe.

"Send someone to tell Castagnos that this opportunity must not be missed, otherwise we will all be wiped out by the French. At the same time, tell him that if he does not agree to send troops to assist us this time, then we will Withdraw to England immediately, regardless of their war with the French." Of course Arthur Wellesley knew what Castagnos was planning, and of course he would not let him succeed. They came to Spain to fight for the benefit of the British Empire, mainly to consume the strength of France here, and the object of their help actually wanted to put themselves aside and let the heroic British soldiers face the murderous French alone. Well, it's not in the interests of the British Empire at all.

"That's not good, we haven't got domestic authorization in this regard." Frank said with some concern.

"My friend, you don't have to think too much. I can assure you that Castagnos will never dare to defy us." Arthur Wellesley said with a smile. After leaving England, Castagnos and his army would certainly not be the opponents of the French army, so no matter what ~lightnovelpub.net~ Castagnos would not dare to easily offend Arthur Will Slee's.

"Threat, this is a naked threat." After receiving the threat from Arthur Wellesley, Castagnos roared on the spot. However, in the end he still had to choose to give in. After all, he still has too much to rely on others. This is probably the so-called people who have to bow their heads under the eaves. Afterwards, Castagnos agreed to Arthur Wellesley's proposal, agreeing to send troops to cooperate with the British army to attack Zaragoza, and in order to show his determination, he sent an army of 100,000 troops force. Planted Castagnos can be described as having a large number of soldiers. After he captured Madrid, he was recognized by other rebellious armies, and countless people joined his army. Up to now, his army has grown to More than 180,000 people. Even if 100,000 people are dispatched, there are still 80,000 left. Although the combat power is a bit horrible, it is still very easy to defend Madrid from being breached.

In order not to cause too much damage to his army, Castagnos personally acted as the commander of the attack on Zaragoza. Of course, these were also done for Arthur? Wellesley to see. Because Arthur Wellesley threatened him, he had long ago decided to do nothing in this attack. This was also the biggest failure of this battle, and it was also the reason for Arthur Wellesley's failure.
