"Bouel, do you think people are really fickle?
” William looked out the window at the scene, but asked a very puzzling question.
Hearing William's question, the look on Bouel's face was obviously stunned, and then he said respectfully: "Your Majesty, this question can only be understood by you, you are the master of all Prussia, and only you can determine the thoughts of those who live in this land of Prussia" Bouel's words did not make William feel a trace of joy, the palace steward's reply was too sycophant, but he was not good at refuting Buel directly, so William waved his hand to let Bouel retreat first Napoleon led 18,000 French troops to defeat the invading rebel Bolitan at Enreze, and after Pelitan surrendered, Napoleon questioned him carefully.
"Bethitham, I think you should already know a lot of Lafayette's arrangements at this level, if you tell me Lafayette's combat deployment, then I will definitely intercede for you at His Majesty the King's point of making him forgive your sins, and if you can make a contribution, then promotion and wealth are not a problem, do you understand?"....
Hearing this, Bethitham's face struggled a little, and he naturally heard the temptation in Napoleon's words, but he still had hesitation in his heart, and he was not willing to betray Lafayette's trust in this way.
What Lafayette was actually able to fully control was the First Legion of the rebels, and Bethitham, the commander of the First Legion, was naturally Lafayette's henchman.
If not a confidant.
How could Lafayette hand over an army of nearly 40,000 men to Bethitham, and let Bertan lead the army to destroy Napoleon.
Originally, Lafayette had only been able to fully control the 20,000 men of the First Legion, but now he was reimbursed 10,000 men in the first battle of Enlaize.
You must know that the 20,000 horses are the most capable troops in Lafayette's hands.
After being wiped out in half, Lafayette's strength shrank by more than half.
Napoleon's face was quite happy to see the struggle on Pelitan's face, and in his opinion, after eliminating Pelitan's rebel army, the rebels in the Lyon area were basically no longer worried.
For the composition of the rebel army, back in the march to Lyon.
Napoleon found out through countless spies.
And for such a henchman of Lafayette as the First Legion, how could Napoleon not have a deep understanding, you must know that often the person who knows your strength best is not yourself but your enemy!
After learning about this.
Napoleon's eyes were obviously different when he looked at Pelitas again, and Lafayette was able to safely put the army in Bethitham's hands and send him to encircle him, which shows Lafayette's trust in Bethitham, if such a general who was deeply trusted by Lafayette could surrender himself.
There is no doubt that this will be a devastating blow to the morale of the rebels in Lyon.
"Bethlethan.
Well, as long as you are able to turn away from darkness and turn to light, then I will guarantee that you will not be punished in any way in this rebellion, but I can explain to Her Highness that you are a spy that I arranged to infiltrate the rebels.
I think you should know that I still have some face in front of Her Royal Highness, and with my guarantee, not only will you be fine, but you can get great benefits.
Of course, if you don't cooperate with me, then I believe that Lafayette's deputy will be enough to get you torn apart.
And your whole family will be implicated in this, and maybe your daughter will sell her body to those filthy beggars in some dark tavern in the future!
” "Napoleon.
You deceive people too much!
” Hearing the threat implied in Napoleon's second half of the sentence, Bethitam could no longer calm down, only to see him angrily pointing at Napoleon and scolding: "If you dare to do this, then I will not let you go to hell!"
"Hehe, Your Excellency Bethitham, now there are two choices in front of you, and the choice is in your hands, I just let you know the consequences of the two choices, okay, now give you five minutes to make a choice, if the time comes, you haven't given me a satisfactory answer, not only will you die extremely miserable, but I think even if you search the world, none of your family will be able to escape" After hearing Napoleon's threat, the anger on Bethitan's face gradually subsided, and it was replaced by a worried and frightened expression, obviously the punishment of the car crack was still very deterrent, not to mention the bargaining chip of Bethitham's family.
"Ten, Nine, Eight, Seven, Six, Five, Four, Three" Just as Napoleon reached out for his pocket watch and began to count down, Bethitam collapsed "Wait, I said, I said it can't be done yet" "Very well, that's what a smart person should be, and besides, even if you don't say it, I still have a lot of captives on my hands, and these captives can also provide me with the information I want.
You made a very wise choice."
As he spoke, Napoleon handed Bethitas a piece of paper and a pen "Write down everything you know" After receiving the pen and paper, Bethlethine lay down on the table and began to write, while Napoleon sat with a smile on his face and did not say a word.
After a while, Bethitam wrote down most of what he knew, and Napoleon, after taking the paper, took a cursory look and found that what he wanted was basically on the paper, so he nodded and said: "Alright, Bethitham, you can rest first, and if you behave well in the future, I think I'll give you a chance."
With that, Napoleon strolled out of the room.
Of course, Bethitan's family could not be taken seriously, so after Napoleon left the room, he ordered the French army to interrogate and capture the rebel prisoners of war, and from the mouths of these prisoners of war, the rebel deployment in Lyon must be extracted, and then compared.
After settling the Bethitan affair, Napoleon left 3,000 French troops to garrison the town of Enlaize, while the remaining 12,000 French troops followed Napoleon to Lyon.
If there were still rebels stationed in the town of Joel in the south of Lyon, then Napoleon would not have taken any risks, although Napoleon was very confident in the combat effectiveness of the French army, but in the face of the two rebels in the town of Joel and the city of Lyon, the battle situation was still more dangerous.
But now, the rebels in Joel are no longer there because of their participation in the battle of Enlais, so now Napoleon can confidently and boldly march into Lyon, if he can complete the meeting with the Marquis de Clics under the city of Lyon, and then the two sides will flank Lyon, then the victory of the French army has been sealed.
Napoleon marched into Lyon, and Creech conquered the lines of the Second Army and the Third Army in the north of Lyon.
When Creech attacked the town of Drake, although the defending Second Army was not very strong, its performance was still remarkable, and in this case, the rebel Second Army still caused a lot of trouble for the French army.
However, the rebels did not have an advantage in numbers and combat effectiveness after all, so on the third day of the French offensive, the tide of the battle began to tilt in favor of the French army.
If the rebel Third Legion, which is behind the Second Rebel Legion, can come to the aid of the Second Legion in time when the tide of battle is just beginning to tilt, then with the addition of fresh troops, coupled with the complex terrain of Drake Town, it is impossible to say that the French army still needs to make a lot of effort.
But because of the factional strife and in the face of the request for help from the Second Legion in Draketown, the Third Legion behind them did not take it seriously at all, in the words of Giggs, let those damned capitalist lackeys die, and the bright future belongs to the great civilian class.
As a result, on the fifth day of the French offensive, the rebel Second Army could no longer withstand the pressure of the French army, and the town of Derek was broken.
Until this time, Giggs of the Third Army was still preaching his theory of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, but he did not know the truth of the cold lips and teeth.
After the capture of Derek Town, Creech commanded the French army to attack Giggs's defense line non-stop, and because the French attack was really unexpected by everyone, in Giggs's opinion, the French army had to spend at least some time in Derek Town.
The slackness of the entire Third Army gave the French army an opportunity, and the 30,000 French troops took advantage of the new victory to break through the defense line of the Third Army in one breath with a thunderous momentum.

You must know that the Third Legion is only a civilian legion, and all the guns in this legion add up to no more than 3,000, and more people are armed with hoes or sickles, so how can such an army have good fruit to eat in the face of the sharp French army.
A single charge of the French cavalry could rout thousands of enemy troops defending on the opposite side, and these untrained civilians had no idea what war was and what combat was.
In half a day, the defense line arranged by the Third Army led by Giggs was riddled with holes by the French army, and after seeing the decadence of the war situation, Giggs decisively led several of his cronies to flee the battlefield on spare war horses, and his departure was the collapse of the rebels on all fronts.
As a result of this front-line contact battle, the rebel Second and Third Army Corps were severely damaged, with more than 10,000 rebel casualties and more than 20,000 rebel soldiers captured by the French.
In contrast to the heavy casualties of the rebels, the French army led by Creech suffered less than 3,000 casualties, and of these 3,000 men, 2,000 were killed or wounded in the attack on the town of Derek, and the ratio of battle losses between the two sides reached a staggering level.
In the face of such a result, after a brief rest, Creech left 5,000 French troops to guard the prisoners of war and protect the French army's rear, while the remaining 25,000 troops followed Creech into Lyon.
Lyon has become precarious.
