Anning was satisfied to see the French Army appear in the houses near the street barricades, beginning a high-ground assault on the Austrian army.
The Austrian army couldn't withstand this kind of attack and quickly withdrew from the street barricades.
Anning turned his head to Napoleon and said, "See? This is our advantage now! Don't just push along the main roads, we need to make use of the city's complex alleys."
A year ago, when the French Army lacked training, they mostly fought in dispersed formations, with no need for drumbeats or martial music, and they also lacked officers.
Even under those circumstances, the French Army was able to advance and retreat in good order, beating the Prussian-Austrian coalition into a humiliating retreat.
Although the French Army still lacks middle and high-ranking officers like staff officers, the non-commissioned officers have been greatly reinforced through battlefield promotions.
