Les Miserables 维克多·雨果 899Words 2018-03-21
We all know how disappointed Napoleon was. He wholeheartedly hoped that Grouchy would come back, but he saw Bilot suddenly appear. Fate has such a change.He was about to sit on the throne of the world when he saw the island of St. Helena appear before him. Perhaps the nineteenth century would have looked different if the shepherd boy who had acted as guide for Blücher's second-in-command, Bulot, had taught him to walk out of the forest above Fréchemont instead of below Planchanoy.Victory at Waterloo may have belonged to Napoleon.Except for the road below Planchanoy, the Prussian army would encounter a chasm that would not allow the artillery to pass, and Bülow would not be able to reach it.

Therefore, one hour later, according to the Prussian general Mifflin, Blucher would not see Wellington standing; "The battle has been lost." It shows that Bülow arrived just in time.Besides, he had wasted a lot of time.He slept in the open at Mount Dion overnight, and started again at dawn.But those roads were difficult, and his troops were covered in mud.The ruts were as deep as the axles of the cannon wheels.In addition, he had to cross the Dire by the narrow Vave bridge, through which the street had been set on fire by the French, the houses on either side were burning, and the ammunition and baggage wagons of the artillery could not be moved. If you pass through the fire, you have to wait for the fire to go out before you can leave.By noon, Bülow's striker had not yet arrived at Saint-Lambert Church.

Had the battle started two hours earlier, it would have ended by four o'clock, and Blücher would have arrived after Napoleon's victory.That kind of slim chance cannot be measured by human beings. At noon, the emperor first saw something far away through the telescope, which made him feel uneasy.He said: "I saw a group of black shadows over there, like an army." Then he asked the Duke of Dalmatia: "Soulte, what do you see over the Saint-Lambert Church?" The Marshal answered through his glass: "Four or five thousand, Your Majesty. Grouchy, of course." But they remained motionless in the mist.All the personnel of the combat command took up binoculars to study the pile of "black shadows" that the emperor found.A few said, "It's a team taking a break." Most said, "That's a tree." Sure enough, the black shadows stood still.The emperor sent Duo Mang's light cavalry division to investigate the black spot.

Bilow did not move, his striker was too weak to do anything.He had to wait for the main army, and he had orders not to enter the line of battle until his forces had been concentrated.But at five o'clock, seeing Wellington's critical position, Blücher ordered Bülow to attack, and uttered these beautiful words: "Got to give some air to the British Army." In less than a moment, the ministries of Rochester, Hillel, Huck, and Liesel took up formation in front of Robb, the cavalry of Prince William of Prussia also rushed out of the Paris forest, and Planchanoy was on fire. , Prussian shells rained down, reaching the formation of the Habayashi Army behind Napoleon.
