The artistry of the Austerlitz War

Austerlitz is a water-networked area surrounded by a raised highland in Plachins.

Napoleon first arrived at Austerlitz. Napoleon's men were all good fighters for a long time, and when they saw the terrain, Jianyi occupied Plachins and set up cannons on the high ground to command.

Napoleon looked behind him, and the river and lake behind him were frozen, and the army was still stepping on the ice. Napoleon smiled at his general and said: "It was just an ordinary war, no artistry. Napoleon immediately ordered a retreat and set up a position across the ice lake.

The Russian-Austrian army soon arrived in Austerlitz. The allied commander Kutuzov immediately occupied the Plachins Heights and did not leave. Although Plachins could not reach the battlefield, with the keen perception of the northern fox, Kutuzov knew that this was a strategic place.

The war was glued, the Allies could not break through the French positions, and Kutuzov's elite army was far behind the Plachins high ground. The Russian emperor was very angry, playing with his life in the front, while the commander-in-chief Kutuzov watched the play in the back, so he used the authority of his emperor to drive Kutuzov down the mountain and into a frontal battle.

At the foot of Kutuzov's front foothills, the French army with heavy artillery occupied the Plachins Heights and established artillery positions.

The French shells only fell on the surface of the lake, and one shell went down, and a large piece of ice surface turned into a broken ice floe. Poor Coalition soldiers fell into the lake in piles. The bone-chilling ice water suddenly became a murderous weapon.

This is Napoleon's art of killing, making full use of the weather and terrain.
