.. co To a certain extent, Louis XVI's attitude stirred the sad spirit in the hearts of the Parisian aristocracy, and some young aristocrats, after seeing Louis XVI's example, shouted the slogan of being with Paris and stayed in Paris.
The Bourbons' centuries-old rule over France was no joke, at least some of the nobles whose fate had long been associated with the Bourbons and Louis XVI were willing to stay in Paris to help Louis XVI resist the attack of the coalition forces after a fierce ideological struggle.
Just when Anna arrived in Vienna, the coalition army also advanced the front to the important town of Amian in the north of Paris, and after conquering Amian, under the orders of Ferdinand the younger, 5,000 Prussian troops were left behind in Amian, and then Ferdinand the younger personally led more than 50,000 Anglo-Prussian troops to attack Paris.
With the conquest of Amian by the coalition forces, Paris can be described as a surprise, Louis XVI immediately issued a national conscription order, and at the same time Louis XVI carried out a large-scale conscription of soldiers around Paris, although France's finances had dried up, but at this time, Louis XVI had already used the means of compulsory conscription.
Nearly 30,000 inhabitants of Paris and nearby areas were conscripted into soldiers, and their weapons were rather rudimentary, and some of them had to be replaced with antique knives and swords without being assigned standard weapons.
With the forced conscription of soldiers, the force defending Paris reached 40,000, and Louis XVI did not appoint any generals as commanders of this army, which was commanded by Louis XVI himself.
Not only that, but Louis XVI also issued orders to the remnants of Napoleon.
Previously, after fleeing the Austrian Netherlands.
Napoleon led the remnants of his army all the way to Compiègne, where the army was stationed.
Compiègne assumed a witness horn in the history of France, in two world wars.
Germany and France signed armistice twice in Compiègne, and the French kings Louis II and Louis V were buried in the church in Compiègne, where there is also a palace of the French royal family.
The city saw the rise and fall of Germany and France in the two world wars, and is now home to the remnants of Napoleon.
After escaping to Compiègne, Napoleon was soon reunited with Lucien and Rebecca, who had broken through separately, and when Napoleon saw Lucien, who had lost an arm, and Rebecca, who had always been a tough guy.
His eyes moistened instantly.
The defeat was so miserable that when he first marched into the Austrian Netherlands, Napoleon's army had a total strength of nearly 70,000 men.
And now, after a series of battles, the French soldiers are only a pitiful 5,000 soldiers, which is still the scale that Napoleon has only recovered from many containments.
Moreover, Napoleon's generals Mana, Hagen and his own brother Joseph and other generals were killed in battle, which made Napoleon's heart almost driven crazy.
Because he no longer sees any hope of a comeback.
"Brother.
Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, and now we still have 5,000 men, but it is difficult to guarantee that we will not have an army of 50,000 or 500,000 men after ri!
It took you four years to build an iron army of 70,000 troops, and you are only twenty-five years old, you still have time, and as long as your ambition is not diminished, then we have hope of regaining our strength!
” As if to see the sadness in Napoleon's eyes and the decadence in his heart, Lucien stood beside Napoleon and said loudly.
Hear Lucien's comfort.
Napoleon glanced at Lucien gratefully.
Because of the war, the entire Bonaparte family was devastated.
Now in the city of Compiègne, it can be said that counting the various branches of the Bonaparte family, there are no more than five men alive at present, and the number of members of the Bonaparte family who served under Napoleon before the war reached fifty.
"Yes, Napoleon, Lucien is right, we have not yet completely failed!
Even if you are the only one who breaks through the siege, then we still have hope, because you are our hope!
” Rebecca also said immediately after Lucien had finished speaking.
Napoleon was silent for a moment, then said: "I have here an order from Louis XVI that he appointed me supreme commander of all the French armed forces in Compiègne, and that we must remain in Compiègne!
At present, the enemy has conquered Amian, and Amian is not far from Compiègne, and it may even take only ten days for the enemy army to be able to attack the city!
” Hearing Napoleon's words, not only Rebecca, but even Lucien fell silent.
During his time in Compiègne, Napoleon had already made a clear picture of the strength of the Compiègne region and its vicinity, which now consisted of less than 1,000 regular armed forces and 500 vigilante militiamen.
Even with the addition of 1,500 men, Napoleon's command was only 6,500.
In addition, there is a financial fund of 100,000 francs in the Zhèngfu area of Compiègne, if in peacetime, Napoleon is confident that he will use these 100,000 francs to recruit another 5,000 soldiers, but now the time is too urgent, even as soon as he received the order of Louis XVI, Napoleon recruited soldiers in Compiègne, but only recruited less than 1,000 soldiers, which is too far from what Napoleon expected.
"It is definitely unrealistic to hold on to Compiègne, the strength of the coalition forces is several times that of our army, and holding on to Compiègne can only allow the enemy to surround and annihilate us, which is not a good idea!"
Lucien, who was standing next to Napoleon, said to Napoleon "I know, but now that the enemy is approaching Paris step by step with the advantage of heavy forces, our army has no good strategy to defeat the enemy" Napoleon's brows furrowed tightly when he said this.
"Whether the enemy is attacking Compiègne or Paris, then Beauville, located at the junction of the road, is definitely the next target of the enemy, and I think we can take some means in it!"
As he spoke, Lucien looked at Napoleon, and when he heard his brother speak halfway, Napoleon did not have any displeasure on his face, but only motioned for Lucien to continue.
"It's summer, and the weather can change at any time, so the enemy army will definitely have to pass on the main roads within the kingdom, because only these main roads will not become muddy because of the rain.
Now the only ones in front of the enemy who can have a certain amount of resistance are Paris and Compiègne, and I am sure that the enemy will attack our army first, and only after destroying our army can the enemy attack Paris without any worries.
As for the division of troops, the enemy will never do it, you must know that France is so big, and the enemy only wants to defeat our country quickly in the shortest possible time, not to encroach on our country, because if the enemy's strength does not allow them to divide their forces to occupy French cities everywhere.
Therefore I suggest that our army send a detachment of strange troops to secretly march towards Saint-Reis, who forms a triangular relationship with Beauville and with our Compiègne.
As long as the odd soldiers reduce their movements in Saint Reis, then the enemy will not take Saint Rees seriously, so that if the enemy attacks Compiègne, the strange soldiers of Saint Reth can pose a threat to the enemy's logistics and transportation lines.
In addition, Saint Rhyth can also effectively threaten Breteuil, the enemy's strength seems to be huge, but the enemy's battle line has also been greatly extended, and for us, these fronts are full of holes, we can launch a surprise attack on the enemy at any time!

” Lucien's analysis has to be said to have a certain amount of truth, except for the capture of Amian, the coalition forces only left a few hundred people to maintain law and order after conquering other places, and along the way, the coalition army, which originally had a strength of nearly 60,000, now has only more than 51,000 people left.
The coalition left behind an army of 5,000 men in Amian, but it does not mean that the coalition forces have also left enough deterrent forces in other areas, which is an opportunity for the French side.
Lucien was like an introduction, and after he finished speaking, Napoleon's astonishing brain suddenly evolved several plans that were quite successful.
"There is some truth to your words, Lucien, but it seems to me that ambushing our strange soldiers in the area of St.
Reis is not a particularly reliable plan.
I thought about it for a while, and I thought that since the enemy could go all the way to occupy our city, why not follow in the footsteps of the enemy army and save the French towns and the French people who had just been taken into the clutches of the enemy again!
” As he spoke, Napoleon seemed to think of something, and the expression on his face became richer and richer.
"But the enemy's army?"
Lucien said hesitantly, and after Lucien finished speaking, Napoleon waved his hand and said loudly: "We just have to do the opposite, and the enemy will definitely not guess our movements, except for Ah Mian, the enemy may leave heavy troops, other towns, the enemy is unlikely to leave too many troops, at most only a thousand people, but my command has a full 5,000 soldiers with rich combat experience.
The distance from Amian to Beauville is about the same distance as the distance we have set out from Compiègne to Rossier, and once we reach Rosiers, we will not only be able to attack the enemy's transport lines, but we will also be able to reclaim our French towns along the way north along Amian, repeating the enemy's conquest in the opposite direction again!
And as long as we move well, then the enemy will certainly not tolerate our actions in the enemy's rear, so that Paris will be safe for the time being.
Of course, for us, the danger is quite large, but as long as we want to make a comeback, the danger is unavoidable, as long as this operation can be successful, then we will become the heroes of the whole of France!
