On October 11, Stuttgart was heavily surrounded by four French armies. General Mike led the last more than 50,000 Austrian soldiers in the final dying struggle.

The Emperor of France had left his provisional headquarters at Ettlingen for Heilbronn to take charge of the battle against Stuttgart himself. The four legions fought around Stuttgart for a day but failed to defeat them. Napoleon was very angry. The marshals were also very ashamed, so after returning to their headquarters, they severely reprimanded the generals under them. In this way, the training continued level by level, and almost all the soldiers and officers were scolded, and all of them fought harder in the attack on the 11th, causing heavy casualties to the Austrian army, and they themselves were not much better.

But General Mike is really a rare general. With the tall city wall of Stuttgart, he just blocked the fierce attack of the enemy three times his own. But he also knew that with the continuous casualties of soldiers, he couldn't last long.

Seeing that his soldiers also suffered heavy casualties, Napoleon stopped this tactic of killing one thousand enemies and injuring himself eight hundred. Mobilize four legions and nearly a thousand artillery pieces to bombard Stuttgart violently. Rows of shells roared towards the walls of Stuttgart, but the Austrian soldiers had already left, so the damage caused was not great. Stuttgart is a very strong city, the walls are all made of large blocks of granite. Since the current artillery shells are not very powerful, the damage to the city wall caused by the shelling is very slight.

After seeing that the city walls of Stuttgart had been wasted even after tens of thousands of shells were wasted, Napoleon became furious and ordered the cannons to raise their angles and fire into the city. A large number of shells fell into the city, destroying a large number of houses. The entire city was filled with thick smoke, and the Austrian army suffered heavy casualties, but the civilians who had nothing to do with the war died more.

Maybe it was because there were not enough shells, or maybe Napoleon was so moved that he ordered the artillery to stop the bombardment. The infantry charged again, but was stubbornly blocked by the Austrian army. Napoleon reluctantly ordered to stop the attack, and attack after thinking of a solution.

In Napoleon's temporary headquarters, Napoleon was furious and reprimanded the marshals and generals present. Under his fury, everyone lowered their heads, and no one dared to say a word. Xiao Jie also stood beside him. The person here is either a marshal or a general. He is just a small captain, so there is no place for him to sit at all.

Seeing Napoleon's growing anger, Xiao Jie knew that if no one came up with a useful solution, everyone might suffer.

"Now the Russians are getting closer and closer to us, and the Prussians are also mobilizing their troops, ready to launch a fatal attack on us at any time, but gentlemen, we are still blocked here. If we can't solve the problem here quickly If we fight, then we may fall into a hard fight, and even lose this war. So I hope you can come up with a solution." Napoleon said. He had never encountered a more difficult thing in his life. Even when he attacked Toulon, it was much easier than it is now.

Xiao Jie knew why, because the butterfly's wings had already flapped. In another time and space, although Mike was also surrounded, he finally broke through to Ulm. During the breakout process, a large number of Austrian soldiers were killed, so after arriving in Ulm, Ferdinand slipped away long ago. So in the subsequent battle with the French army who came later, he was defeated and captured. But now he insisted on Stuttgart and became a difficult bone for the French army.

No one knew what to do, so the headquarters was so quiet that you could hear a needle drop on the ground, and Napoleon's face became more and more serious.

Xiao Jie thought that all this was caused by him, so he said: "Your Majesty, can I tell you my opinion?"

Seeing that the others had no idea, Napoleon said, "Well then, my dear Andresi, I really hope you can surprise us." The eyes of the others were also focused on Xiao Jie. .

Xiao Jie said: "Now Stuttgart is at the end of its strength under our fierce attack, but if we continue to attack, we will suffer a lot of losses, which will be very unfavorable to our future wars. So I thought of a method, but it’s not too open and aboveboard, I don’t know if I should say it or not?”

"Go on." Napoleon saw that no one else could do anything, so he asked Xiao Jie to continue talking.

After glancing at everyone, Xiao Jie continued: "My solution is to use night raids. I think this mission can be taken up by the Guards Corps. As for the tall city wall, we don't have to worry about it, we just need to transport it quietly. Enough cannonballs go under their city gates, I think it is very easy to blow the gates open, then our army can easily rush in. With our absolute superiority in numbers, I think we will easily win I know it's despicable, but in order to win the war, for His Majesty the Emperor, and for France, we have to do this."

When there was no other way, Xiao Jieyou said it was so sensational, so everyone agreed to his way. The time was set at midnight, and the main attack was by the Guards Corps. After it succeeded, other legions followed up~lightnovelpub.net~At midnight, the Austrian soldiers who had gone through a day of hard fighting fell asleep. Only a small number of soldiers are still patrolling. General Mike stood in the yard of his headquarters, looking at the sky full of stars, feeling very depressed. He didn't know how long they could last, maybe tomorrow would be the day when Stuttgart was destroyed. It doesn't matter if he dies with his old bones, but those young soldiers still have parents, wives and children waiting for them to go back. He wanted to surrender, to save one of their lives, but military honor and love of country would not allow him to do so. So he could only deeply apologize to these lovely soldiers in his heart.

Suddenly, there was a violent explosion from the east, and the whole city seemed to be shaking. After a few minutes, his adjutant ran in and reported to him: "General, the despicable French took advantage of our unpreparedness and blew up the east gate with a lot of gunpowder. Now they have come in. Besides, we don't have any They were unprepared, and the casualties were heavy. Please leave quickly, I will arrange someone to **** you to break through, and I will stay and command the army to temporarily block them."

General Mike sighed and said: "Everything is over. You go and order the soldiers to surrender. If you continue to resist, you will only increase casualties."

The adjutant wanted to say something but was severely stopped by General Mike, "I am responsible for the lives of my soldiers."

The adjutant had no choice but to issue orders. Slowly, all the gunfire in the city subsided, and the French army finally occupied Stuttgart.

When the adjutant came back to find General Mike, he was found lying on the stone table. There is a dagger stuck in his chest, but he has a faint smile on his face~lightnovelpub.net~Welcome all readers to visit and read, the latest, fastest and hottest serial works are all here~www.mtlnovel. com~
