General Antoine Lasalle, 'the Hussar General', is widely regarded as one of the most courageous commanders of the Napoleonic Wars. On multiple occasions, he led his brigade forward against seemingly impossible odds, only to return with crowds of prisoners.

He could not be an evil maniac. You would not care who he was because he would not have achieved what he did if he was both evil and a maniac. Evil? Perhaps. Or maniacal? One or the other. But not both. If he was evil for conquest, he must have been quite sane to be victorious in battle, which brooks no fools. If he was maniacal for control, why did so many love to serve him so dearly? People do not generally love to work for insane people unless that insane person is touched with something a little noble. Even if it's because "the pay is really good", that would at least be the virtue of rewarding loyalty fairly. Which many insane leaders do not appreciate the hired help quite so much. He was either Mad Saint or an Evil Genius, but he was not an Evil Maniac. To compare him to, for example, Hitler, to name another conqueror: Assassination plots against Napoleon weren't a thing. They couldn't even find a Frenchman willing to arrest him when he decided to not be exiled anymore and seriously broke curfew. One can observe the French loved their Emperor more than the Germans loved their Führer. I'm inclined to think Evil Genius. Napoleon has been called many monstrosities fairly. Tolstoy named him That Antichrist! But Napoleon has never rightly or fairly been called stupid or insane. He was too competent. Bonaparte and Napoleon are both his names and both legitimize him.

@darthparallax5207 8 ай бұрын

The "Pike and Shotte" era of matchlocks and arquebusses had been known at least some 200 years prior or more; But although they called what they had in the 1600s "guns" already, they were not very good at all before the rifled bore was invented. Due to rifling, there is a line, parting two sides of history, On one side, you used to say "don't fire until you see the whites of their eyes". Yeah. That's not a thing anymore. The gun that beats a horse, handily, in offense and defense, *was* invented with Napoleonic War. The bullets fly faster than a horse's charge to attack with, which was true before. To defend with, simply putting your infantry on horses is no longer sufficient to make them hard to hit accurately with fast movement. It's not even the greater size of target. The range is so good on new guns that they can hit the cavalry when they are small and far off. When the Ottomans sacked Constantinople, "guns" meant the large super cannons used to break walls and gates. No longer. With Napoleon, the handheld guns were getting very properly dangerous. The French and Indian War is in part a thing because the Indians had some few small chances against Redcoats and 1700s guns. The later 1800s Indians vs guns conflicts, you can find references to calling them Wars, but in school you learn about it more as a massacre. The Indians had plenty of horses, and this simply was in no way at all enough. The Gun as we imagine it, "pull trigger get dead man", came maturely into being with the 1800s innovation of Rifling. Rifles vs Horses the Best Cavalry Man in history can't win. The British were not too shabby on a horse either. The Light Brigade got gunned down rather offhandedly. The 1800s is when guns actually become what we always assume they can do. Pancho Villa was not using too many cavalry in the Mexican Revolution. Not as much as when he was an Outlaw for sure. There's a number of reasons the American Revolution never looked like the US Civil War on the battlefield. Chief among them is probably that the smooth bore muskets didn't incentivize the behavior rifled bores did.

He was born into minor nobility, he had a much better life than most at the time. Plus he had been serving in the military since he was eleven years old. I believe he simply loved military life because even after losing his rank as a cavalry officer in 1792, he was still willing to enlist as a private and climb the ranks. The man was raised to be a soldier and clearly yearned to remain one his whole life, and with that he understood very clearly the price he would have to pay for that desire. It's better to go out in a blaze of glory than a wimper for such a man. He sought reverence, not longevity, and because of that he is remembered to this day.

In the mobile game European War 4: Napoleon (of which I have a certain fondness) in the Imperial French campaign mission dedicated to Wagram you have Lassalle as one of the predeployed generals, the thing is that he (on a heavy cavalry unit iirc) is already at extremely low health and confused (unable to move) alongside a small army and they are at the frontline with an Austrian army over them and the area they are in is engulfed in flames. I like that they made it that way to reenact Lassalle death and true to his name the Austrian units surrounding him are also at low health. Also no matter what generals you have or how fast you try to reach him you can't save Lassalle like you can with Ney on the Battle of Jena mission. But if you attack aggressively you can overwhelm the Austrians quickly and kill one of their general before they can build up defenses around Vienna
