本来64页也不指望能写出什么,结合具体战役来个简述也行,但是没想到会渣到这种程度,第5页的排版错误也就算了,之后则是各种经不起推敲的说法,经不起考证的数字,比如:
p19
At dawn on 2 December, Napoleon mustered 73,000 men with 139 cannon against 89,000 Allied troops, of whom about 16,000 were Russians and the remaining Austrian, together with 278 guns.
p26
Even under the weight of fleeing cavalry and artillery teams the ice continued to bear up, but when Napoleon ordered an artillery bombardment of the position the ice began to crack, plunging horses, guns and infantry into the freezing waters.
Perhaps 2,000 men drowned and about 40 guns were lost, with another 2,000 prisoners rescued by Napoleon's pursuing forces.
p27
Napoleon meeting Emperor Francis II of Austria after the battle of Austerlitz. The Habsburgs' territorial concessions in northern Italy and along the Adriatic, in addition to their abrogation of influence in the German states, played a pivotal role in the rapid expansion of the Napoleonic Empire.
p29
Napoleon, gathering a massive army of unprecedented size and composed of every nationality from his empire, pushed across the Niemen River with over half a million men on 22 June 1812.
p34
Napoleon's aide-de-camp, General Caulaincourt, leading II and IV Cavalry Corps, advanced over the breastworks with the Saxon and Polish heavy cavalry, while French cuirassiers stormed in through the back.(不是很清楚,记得小科兰古不是拿破仑的副官,作者可能把两个科兰古搞错了。)
p35
The French, for their part, held the field, but at a cost of about 33,000 wounded and killed - roughly 40 per cent of their original force.
p41
By 1500hrs, apart from the fighting around Hougoumont and La Haye Sainte, the battle entered a lull, as both sides needed a respite in which to consider their next moves. About this time Grouchy began to hear the sound of the guns at Waterloo.
p43
Billow's 30,000 men engaged Lobau's 10,000 defenders in furious fighting in and around the Bois de Paris and Frichermont, out of which Lobau was driven towards the village of Plancenoit.
By this time the corps of generals Pirch and Zieten had also arrived from the east, on Wellington's flank, boosting the morale of the battered Anglo-Allies, disheartening the French who were aware of the Prussians' arrival, and drawing away more of Napoleon's reserves that might have been used against Wellington's centre.
p44
This was an important tactical success for Napoleon, for La Haye Sainte stood firmly in the Anglo-Allied centre, offering possession of the strategically important Charleroi-Brussels road. The moment was a critical one for Wellington, for if Napoleon could exploit this opportunity before the full force of the Prussians could be felt, the Emperor still stood a chance of seizing the day. Ney therefore brought up artillery and pounded the line at close range, repulsed an attempt to retake the farmhouse, and forced out riflemen deployed in the sandpit near La Haye Sainte.
