Chapter 84: , France, go ahead!

　　 Di Mourier rode a horse in the forefront, Joseph and Napoleon rode the same horses, and followed him with a saber in hand, while the soldiers followed them, approaching the smoky hot map.
　　 Maybe because of fatigue, or because of the obscuration of the fog on the battlefield, the Austrians did not immediately react, and Di Mourier was naturally happy to bring the soldiers closer.
　　 Gradually, the team has entered the range of the Austrian guns. Di Mourier yelled and moved forward, and the command knife in his hand smashed forward several times. The soldiers began to accelerate in a column, but Di Mourier slowed down and gradually fell behind the queue.
　　 Joseph also slowed down after Di Mourier and approached. Their previous approach was just to boost morale. The serious battle is not the single battle of generals in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", nor is it the battle of knights in the knight novel. There is no reason why the commander really rushed forward.
　　 Joseph strangled the horse, and nodded to Di Maurier who also restrained the horse, and then turned around and suddenly found... Damn it! Where is Napoleon? Where is Napoleon? Wasn't he still behind just now? We haven't crossed the river just now. How could Napoleon disappear?
　　 Joseph looked around anxiously when he suddenly saw a guy riding a horse at the front of the team, brandishing a gleaming saber, leading the team forward.
　　 "Damn it, this secondary cancer!" Joseph cursed fiercely in his heart.
　　 "Joseph, why did your brother rush to the front... I can't see it, he is small and really brave!" At this time, Dumourier also found Napoleon running to the front.
　　 "Brave a fart! It's my head burned out!" Joseph scolded viciously. At the same time, I decided in my heart that after coming back for a while, I must teach this bear kid to let him know why the flower is so red!
　　 At this time, the Austrians also began to react, and the Austrian cannons began to fire continuously at the advancing French army formation. The speed of artillery shells in this era is relatively slow, so that Joseph can see with his naked eyes those small black dots that slowly rise from the high ground, and then slowly rise to the high place, and seem to pause there. , And then suddenly accelerated and fell, smashing a piece of dust on the ground, and at the same time rebounded, like a little rabbit, jumping all the way forward. One of the shells whizzed past not far from Joseph. So scared Joseph almost retracted his neck into his torso.
　　 "Napoleon is closer, and certainly more dangerous, this bastard!" Joseph thought.
　　 "I can't leave him alone in that kind of place!" Joseph shouted at Di Maurier, then waved his whip, drove the horse, and pursued Napoleon.
　　 "Ah, Joseph usually looks like an old pedant, and he is so brave if you don't see it." Di Mourier shook his head. But he did not catch up. He is the coach and must stay behind to preside over the overall situation.
Joseph chased after him angrily, and grabbed Napoleon's horse by the reins: "Asshole, is there a hole in your head? I asked you to come here just to show your face in front of the soldiers. Why did you come here? You messed up. What are you running! Come back with me soon!"
　　 Napoleon turned his face and looked at Joseph with a strange expression: "Joseph, is there a hole in your head? It's all here, can you turn around and go back?"
　　 Joseph was taken aback by these words, but he immediately understood what Napoleon meant:
　　 Just now Di Mourier was boosting morale. He gradually fell behind, and the soldiers would not notice, so it was not a problem that he finally retreated to the back. But if Napoleon and Joseph turned around like this at this time, they would shake the military.
　　 "You bastard!" The more he understands the situation, the more angry Joseph becomes, because it means that he must go crazy with this bear kid now!
　　 "Hahaha..." Perhaps it was because Napoleon was so proud of his eldest brother that he succeeded in pitting him, so the bear child was just like that.
"Joseph, you actually rushed here for my safety. I am very touched, really!" Just when Joseph was so angry that he was about to slap Napoleon with a whip, Napoleon suddenly changed his face and said this sentence again. .
　　 "Bah! You are moved to have a fart! You are not a woman!" Joseph scolded, but the horse whip was lowered.
　　 At this time, a shell flew over and hit a small column not far away.
　　 The cannonball hit the chest of the standard bearer who rushed in front, smashing him to pieces, and then took the opportunity to string a large row of people behind him with blood gourds. And the flagpole in the hand of the flag bearer was also broken into two pieces. The flag flew high first, then whirled down in the air.
　　 At this time, a hand stretched out, held the broken flagpole, and then raised the tricolor flag high again.
It was Napoleon's hand. He caught the falling flag and raised it high. Then he jumped off the horse, turned his head, and shouted at the other soldiers who were frightened by the gun: " Soldiers of France, for the motherland, come with me!"
　　 The soldiers were inspired by the short officer holding the flag high. They shouted, followed behind the short man, and continued forward.
　　 Joseph gritted his teeth, drew his saber, and urged his horse to follow.
　　 "Idiot! Get off the horse! Your target is too conspicuous, you will become a magnet for bullets!" Napoleon cursed, pulling Joseph from the horse.
Joseph was slightly moved, but in a blink of an eye, his heart was filled with anger: "Dog stuff, if it weren't for you, a bear boy, I'm sluggish at the back now, I don't know how safe... TMD, I didn't even bring a gun. There is only such a saber!"
　　 Joseph would never think that this scene between him and his bear kid brothers today will soon become the content of a world famous painting. After the news of the victory of this battle came back to Paris, the painter Jacques-Louis David (a friend of Armand, author of "The Oath of the Brothers of Horace" and later "Death of Marat") heard about Bona After the heroic actions of the Ba brothers, they were so excited that they created a painting called "France, Go Forward".
In this painting, Jacques-Louis David broke through the shackles of the neoclassical painting he represented before and opened up a brand new style. The background of the painting is iron-lead smoke and thick clouds. In the middle, Napoleon in a uniform, holding a tricolor flag symbolizing the Republic high in one hand, turned his head halfway, revealing a resolute profile, as if shouting to the soldiers behind him. At his feet lay the body of the warrior who died, a little behind him to his right, and immediately following him was Joseph, who rushed up with a saber in his hand. Farther away, there are soldiers charging forward wearing blue uniforms and holding a rifle with a bayonet.
　　 The fallen corpse, the fighting warrior, and Napoleon who held the French flag high form a stable and dynamic triangle. The tricolor flag symbolizing freedom, equality and fraternity is located at the apex of the isosceles triangle. In the history of art compiled by later generations, most of this painting is regarded as the precedent of romantic painting.
　　 But at this time, Joseph didn't care whether his image would appear in the painting. In fact, he was so nervous that he didn't have the fearlessness of painting. But their column did not become the target of being fired. Because their team had just been hit by a cannon, their forward speed fell behind other teams. This allowed the Austrians to pour more firepower on other columns.
　　 Napoleon's legs were short and he didn't run fast. As for Joseph, if he ran backwards, he would be able to run as fast as a reporter somewhere, but if he rushed forward, let it go. While rushing, Joseph looked around, looking for a bunker that he might use in the future, and he was ready to drag Napoleon behind the bunker at any time. The other fighters rushed quickly, so the two of them gradually fell behind the team. UU reading www.uukanshu.com
　　 The other columns performed very well. When Joseph and Napoleon rushed to the Austrian position, the Austrian defense had actually collapsed.
　　 Napoleon was holding a saber and wanted to find an Austrian to chop and chop, but...
　　 "Damn it, why are the Austrians running so fast? I can't find a living person to cut it down!" Napoleon gasped and complained.
"That's because your legs are too short! If the Austrians run one step, you need to run two steps." Joseph took the knife and looked around, guarding against the Austrians who might suddenly emerge from somewhere, while seizing the time. To ridicule Napoleon, so as to vent his anger.
Napoleon habitually intends to sneer, but looking at Joseph's livid face and thinking about this cowardly, today he really rushed to the battlefield for his own sake, and he couldn't express the sarcasm, so he simply said nothing. Give him a "haha".
　　 In this battle, the French army killed more than 600 people, plus more than 1,300 injured, and a total of about 2,000 people were lost. In Austria, more than 300 people were killed and more than 500 injured. In addition to more than 600 captured, a total of about 1,500 people were lost. If only the exchange ratio is considered, the Austrians seem to have the upper hand.
　　 However, this is a defensive battle relying on terrain advantages and fortifications, and the French are mainly volunteers with insufficient training. Even so, the Austrians failed to withstand the French attack for a day. If there is no terrain advantage and fortification bonus, they will definitely be lifted and beaten by the French. This battle actually shows one thing, even the inadequately trained volunteer army in France is enough to deal with the Austrians in various battles.
