The Fortress Deputy Commander asked in surprise, "Everyone is going?"
"No, of course not. Since everyone has stepped forward, let's leave some people to guard the city. The rest, follow me and charge!"
After saying this, Napoleon directly snatched the Military Flag from the flag bearer and carried it outside.
The troops were still stunned because generally an attack requires lining up first, sorting through various procedures, and then marching mechanically towards the enemy accompanied by music.
Napoleon had walked a few steps, turned back to see no one moving, and cursed, "What are you standing around for? The battlefield is just outside the city, just charge without fussing about anything. Drummers, drum as fast as you can! Follow me, open the city gates!"
After finishing, Napoleon turned and sprinted again, while the other soldiers were still confused, but the musicians had already acted on the command, beating very urgent drum rhythms.
