At this time, below Franc Mountain.
The 8,000-man French force led by Cator had already captured several passes at Oliour.
But the battle is far from over, and it is still early to truly capture Oliour.
However, Cator did not know that Martian, who intercepted the enemy, was now seriously injured, and their artillery unit also suffered heavy losses.
Cator continued to attack the anti-French alliance forces guarding Oliour.
Cator's 8,000-man army fought very bravely.
But without Martian's troops behind him to resist the Italian army, Cator will be attacked from both sides.
Just after Cator's troops continued to attack for three hours, an urgent piece of information suddenly came!
"Report to the general, Colonel Martian is injured on Franc Mountain, and the Italian army is missing. If we continue to advance forward, we are likely to encounter enemy forces from both sides. The general cannot continue the attack now!"
Cator's face darkened.
Without Martian's troop command, their artillery units would not be able to function at all.
And the most critical thing is that he currently does not have any candidates or sufficient troops to intercept the Italian troops.
The risk of a two-pronged attack is too great.
Someone must take Martian's place.
But now... Cator said without any doubt:
"Order the withdrawal and return to the valley!"
The soldiers who heard the order, without a word of doubt, immediately went to various units to deliver General Cator's order.
Even though this order will bury their current war results.
All the war gains achieved in Oriure will be in vain.
But even under such circumstances, Cator's army retreated very quickly.
And at this time...
On Franc Hill, Martian was hit by a shell and injured his leg. He had to withdraw from command and was unable to go to the front line.
But the Italian troops were pressing forward step by step.
Without command, the artillery line quickly disintegrated.
The front line at Falangshan Mountain that they finally defeated fell into the hands of the enemy. Martian, who was lying on the hospital bed, was filled with grief and anger.
He roared feebly from his hospital bed: "We are going to lose this battle..."
"We will be utterly defeated!"
"The war from five hundred years ago will return!"
However, at this time, a force came out from the rear of the Italian army and temporarily rescued Martian's trapped army.
But now they still have no ability to cause any danger to the enemy.
And that army was the army led by Bonaparte!
Bonaparte came to support their resistance.
Martian was in high spirits after hearing the news, but when he heard that Bonaparte brought only more than a hundred soldiers.
He was disappointed.
What can more than a hundred soldiers do?
The enemy army had thousands of troops, and Bonaparte could not stop the attacking Italian troops! e
General Cator is still in crisis.
However, out of courtesy for the National Assembly's order, Martian still saw the sent commander on the hospital bed.
Just the first time he saw him, Martian felt a towering mountain pressing down on him.
He had only seen such an aura from General Cator.
At that time, he was not a captain but just a soldier.
Martin couldn't help but look at Bonaparte.
He tried to get up on the hospital bed, but the pain of the war made it impossible for him to sit up.
Bonaparte came over and helped Martin to sit up.
"Sorry, Commander Bonaparte."
Martian looked at his lost left leg, spread his hands and said, "It seems that I will have to ask the shoe store owner in the future whether I can sell a single shoe."
Martian looked at Bonaparte's majestic expression. He also put away the self-mockery on his face and got down to business with great seriousness.
"General Cator is leading his troops to attack Oliour. If we can successfully capture this area, it will be of great significance to our attack on Toulon."
"However, you have also seen the Chinese troops on Franc Mountain."
"We need you to cooperate with General Cator's actions and stop any troops that block the French army's attack, so that the general can concentrate on attacking Oliour!"
Bonaparte had seen the battle plan before he came.
There was nothing wrong with the battle plan drawn up by General Cator.
He couldn't come up with a better battle plan, but a plan was a plan and execution was execution.
Bonaparte would also know that Martin wanted him to take over his artillery unit to intercept the attack from the Italian troops.
Bonaparte readily accepted this request.
He was originally an artilleryman, and he also had his own unique insights into the command and control of artillery after seeing the fighting methods of the Long Yan Army.
"Okay, no problem, but I need to know the current status of the artillery unit."
Martian nodded: "Of course."
He called a soldier and ordered him to take Bonaparte to check the current situation of their troops.
When Bonaparte left, he looked at the soldier who lost a leg for the war.
"Sir, your battle is heroic enough, but now you need to go home. The enemy will not invade the interior of France until I fall."
Martian looked at Bonaparte's figure and was startled, only to realize that the other party had left.
He looked at the towering figure and thought to himself: "He is like a giant."
Bonaparte, who was walking on the road to the military camp, was pondering a question.
Relations between France and Corsica.
Corsica is an overseas colony established by France during the Empire. The people of Corsica are suffering from exploitation by France.
The same thing happened when he was attending the Army Academy in Paris.
His Corsican identity was not looked down upon by others, but since he came into contact with Rousseau's theory.
Napoleon was very moved by what he said in his doctrine.
Then he discovered that Corsica was actually where France produced workers.
And some are new types of nobles, who are destined not to be looked down upon by the people who believe in the old nobles.
He wanted to help Corsica become independent, but was it possible for France to become part of Corsica?
Corsica becomes French territory?
Bonaparte did not continue to think about it. This goal was too far away for him.
He still has no possibility of realizing it.
The top priority now is to win this war and obtain more troops.
In the past, there were only a hundred troops following him, but now there are 4,000 artillery troops at his command. There should not be much problem in defeating the Italian troops.
But when Bonaparte saw the artillery troops under the leadership of Martin.
Bonaparte began to regret his previous decisions.
And anyone who thinks that they can defeat the Italian army with such troops is simply dreaming!
