Instead, Napoleon's army looked to live off the land, acquiring the motto, "The war must feed the war." Napoleon sought to acquire food from the surrounding environment, whether that meant paying friendly countries or simply foraging.

With the advent of cheap <a href="/wiki/Small_arms" class="mw-redirect" title="Small arms">small arms</a> and the rise of the drafted citizen soldier, army sizes increased rapidly to become mass forces.

Along with divisions came divisional <a href="/wiki/Artillery" title="Artillery">artillery</a>, light weight, mobile <a href="/wiki/Cannon" title="Cannon">cannons</a> with greater range and firepower. </p><p>During the <a href="/wiki/Italian_campaigns_of_the_French_Revolutionary_Wars" title="Italian campaigns of the French Revolutionary Wars">Italian campaign</a>, Napoleon conversed much about the warriors of antiquity, especially <a href="/wiki/Alexander_the_Great" title="Alexander the Great">Alexander the Great</a>, <a href="/wiki/Julius_Caesar" title="Julius Caesar">Julius Caesar</a>, <a href="/wiki/Scipio_Africanus" title="Scipio Africanus">Scipio Africanus</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Hannibal" title="Hannibal">Hannibal</a>.

Before this, <a href="/wiki/General_officer" title="General officer">generals</a> had considered this approach to battle as separate events. However, Napoleon used manoeuvre in battle to dictate how and where the battle would progress. The <a href="/wiki/Battle_of_Austerlitz" title="Battle of Austerlitz">Battle of Austerlitz</a> was a perfect example of this manoeuvre; Napoleon withdrew from a strong position to draw his opponent forward and tempt him into a flank attack, weakening his center. This allowed the <a href="/wiki/French_Imperial_Army_(1804%E2%80%931815)" title="French Imperial Army (1804–1815)">French Army</a> to split the allied army and gain victory. </p> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Charles_Meynier_-_Entr%C3%A9e_de_Napol%C3%A9on_%C3%A0_Berlin._27_octobre_1806.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/de/Charles_Meynier_-_Entr%C3%A9e_de_Napol%C3%A9on_%C3%A0_Berlin._27_octobre_1806.jpg/220px-Charles_Meynier_-_Entr%C3%A9e_de_Napol%C3%A9on_%C3%A0_Berlin._27_octobre_1806.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="146" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/de/Charles_Meynier_-_Entr%C3%A9e_de_Napol%C3%A9on_%C3%A0_Berlin._27_octobre_1806.jpg/330px-Charles_Meynier_-_Entr%C3%A9e_de_Napol%C3%A9on_%C3%A0_Berlin._27_octobre_1806.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/de/Charles_Meynier_-_Entr%C3%A9e_de_Napol%C3%A9on_%C3%A0_Berlin._27_octobre_1806.jpg/440px-Charles_Meynier_-_Entr%C3%A9e_de_Napol%C3%A9on_%C3%A0_Berlin._27_octobre_1806.jpg 2x" data-file-width="3200" data-file-height="2119" /></a><figcaption><i><a href="/wiki/Entry_of_Napoleon_into_Berlin" title="Entry of Napoleon into Berlin">Entry of Napoleon into Berlin</a></i> by <a href="/wiki/Charles_Meynier" title="Charles Meynier">Charles Meynier</a>. After defeating Prussian forces at <a href="/wiki/Battle_of_Jena%E2%80%93Auerstedt" title="Battle of Jena–Auerstedt">Jena</a>, the French Army entered <a href="/wiki/Berlin" title="Berlin">Berlin</a> on 27 October 1806.</figcaption></figure> <p>Napoleon used two primary strategies for the approach to battle. His "<i>Manoeuvre De Derrière</i>" (move onto the rear) was intended to place the French Army across the enemy's <a href="/wiki/Line_of_communication" title="Line of communication">lines of communications</a>. Using a "pinning" force to keep the opponent stationary, he would swing around onto his opponents rear with the bulk of his army, forcing the adversary to either accept a battle on Napoleon's terms or push further into the pinning force and hostile territory. By placing his army into the rear, his opponent's supplies and communications would be cut. This had a negative effect on enemy morale. Once joined, the battle would be one in which his opponent could not afford defeat. This also allowed Napoleon to select multiple march routes into a battle site. Initially, the lack of force concentration helped with foraging for food and sought to confuse the enemy as to his real location and intentions. This strategy, along with the use of forced marches created a morale bonus that played heavily in his favour. </p><p>The "indirect" approach into battle also allowed Napoleon to disrupt the linear formations used by the allied armies. As the battle progressed, the enemy committed their reserves to stabilise the situation, Napoleon would suddenly release the <a href="/wiki/Flanking_maneuver" title="Flanking maneuver">flanking</a> formation to attack the enemy. His opponents, being suddenly confronted with a new threat and with little reserves, had no choice but to weaken the area closest to the flanking formation and draw up a <a href="/wiki/Line_(formation)" title="Line (formation)">battleline</a> at a right angle in an attempt to stop this new threat. Once this had occurred, Napoleon would mass his reserves at the hinge of that right angle and launch a heavy attack to break the lines. The rupture in the enemy lines allowed Napoleon's <a href="/wiki/Cavalry" title="Cavalry">cavalry</a> to flank both lines and roll them up leaving his opponent no choice but to surrender or flee. </p><p>The second strategy used by Napoleon when confronted with two or more enemy armies was the use of the central position. This allowed Napoleon to drive a wedge to separate the enemy armies. He would then use part of his force to mask one army while the larger portion overwhelmed and defeated the second army quickly. He would then march on the second army leaving a portion to pursue the first army and repeat the operations. This was designed to achieve the highest concentration of men into the primary battle while limiting the enemy's ability to reinforce the critical battle. The central position had a weakness in that the full power of the pursuit of the enemy could not be achieved because the second army needed attention.

That was the aid and encouragement the British gave to the Spanish to harass the French behind their lines which led them to squander most of the assets of their Iberian army in protecting the army's line of communications. This was a very cost effective move for the British, because it cost far less to aid Spanish insurgents than it did to equip and pay regular <a href="/wiki/British_Army" title="British Army">British Army</a> units to engage the same number of French troops. As the British Army could be correspondingly smaller it was able to supply its troops by sea and land without having to live off the land as was the norm at the time. Further, because they did not have to forage they did not antagonise the locals and so did not have to garrison their lines of communications to the same extent as the French did. So the strategy of aiding their Spanish civilian allies in their <a href="/wiki/Guerrilla_warfare" title="Guerrilla warfare">guerrilla</a> or "little war" benefited the British in many ways, not all of which were immediately obvious. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Firearms">Firearms</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Napoleonic_weaponry_and_warfare&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Firearms"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Charleville_exploded_view.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/b/b1/Charleville_exploded_view.jpg/300px-Charleville_exploded_view.jpg" decoding="async" width="300" height="343" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/b/b1/Charleville_exploded_view.jpg/450px-Charleville_exploded_view.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/b/b1/Charleville_exploded_view.jpg 2x" data-file-width="500" data-file-height="572" /></a><figcaption><a href="/wiki/Exploded-view_drawing" title="Exploded-view drawing">Exploded view</a> of the <a href="/wiki/Charleville_musket" title="Charleville musket">Charleville musket</a>, the primary French firearm</figcaption></figure> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Girandoni_Air_Rifle.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/48/Girandoni_Air_Rifle.jpg/220px-Girandoni_Air_Rifle.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="127" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/48/Girandoni_Air_Rifle.jpg/330px-Girandoni_Air_Rifle.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/48/Girandoni_Air_Rifle.jpg/440px-Girandoni_Air_Rifle.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1398" data-file-height="806" /></a><figcaption>The Girardoni M1780 repeating air rifle</figcaption></figure> <p>As for the infantry soldier himself, Napoleon primarily equipped his army with the <a href="/wiki/Musket_Model_1777" title="Musket Model 1777">Charleville M1777 Revolutionnaire musket</a>, a product from older designs and models.

French officers were usually armed with a .69 <a href="/wiki/Pistol" title="Pistol">pistol</a> as a secondary weapon to their <a href="/wiki/Sword" title="Sword">sword</a>. This still had to be muzzle loaded and fired with a <a href="/wiki/Flintlock" title="Flintlock">flintlock</a> after reloading. Besides guns, soldiers used a variety of <a href="/wiki/Pike_(weapon)" title="Pike (weapon)">pikes</a>, swords, and <a href="/wiki/Bayonet" title="Bayonet">bayonets</a> for close range or <a href="/wiki/Melee" title="Melee">melee combat</a>.

Instead, he settled for the speed of the musket, as it allowed for his rapid manoeuvres. The British did utilise the rifle such as the <a href="/wiki/Baker_rifle" title="Baker rifle">Baker Pattern 1800 Infantry rifle</a> equipping some units, most notably with the creation of an entire elite rifle regiment, the <a href="/wiki/Rifle_Brigade_(The_Prince_Consort%27s_Own)" title="Rifle Brigade (The Prince Consort's Own)">95th Regiment (Rifles)</a>.

For example, the barrel of the British 12-pounder weighed 3,150 pounds, and the gun with carriage and <a href="/wiki/Limbers_and_caissons" title="Limbers and caissons">limber</a> about 6,500 lb (2,900 kg). The Gribeauval 12-lb barrels weighed 2,174 pounds and the gun with carriage and limber 4,367 pounds. Since Napoleon insisted on speed and mobility in conducting his manoeuvres, this lighter cannon provided the flexibility he desired.
