Suddenly remembered "the end of the hero is a torment".

Suddenly remembered "the end of the hero is a torment".

Waterloo's failure,

1. Napoleon has just returned from exile to form a new team. Domestic situation is unstable

2. Wellington chose a defensive play that was familiar with the terrain, consumed the enemy, and at the same time made use of the muddy land in rainy days.

3. The French cavalry marshal mistakenly thought that Wellington was defeated, and the cavalry pursued him, but the latter used the undulating terrain and phalanx to neutralize the opponent's cavalry offensive.

4. The arrival of the Prussian reinforcements gave the French a fatal blow. Napoleon's 40,000-strong army did not participate in the war not far away.

Still quite sad.

The picture is very exciting. It must be the handwriting of the Soviets. After "War and Peace" was filmed, "Waterloo" came again. Andre became Duke of Wellington here.

Waterloo quotes

  • King Louis XVIII: I know you loved this man.

    Michel Ney: I did, once. But I promise you, that I will bring him back to Paris in an iron cage.

    [exits]

    King Louis XVIII: How they exaggerate, these soldiers, "In an iron cage"? Nobody asked for that.

  • Lord Uxbridge: [clears throat] Sir.

    Duke of Wellington: [removing his copy of The Times from over his face] Ah, Uxbridge.

    Lord Uxbridge: As I am second-in-command and in case anything should happen to you, what are your plans?

    Duke of Wellington: [brightly] To beat the French.

    [goes back to sleep, replacing the newspaper over his head]
