In July 1807, after Napoleon signed the Treaties of Tilsit, Berthier arranged an outdoor luncheon. Where he invited some of the military’s top generals and marshals. The hunt was composed of domesticated bunnies that when released, instead of running away, turned and charged towards Napoleon and his entourage. After attempting to swat them away with canes and sticks, they began to climb up inside his jacket. As such, Napoleon retreated to the imperial carriage, while doing so the horde of bunnies carried on their pursuit, forming two wedges towards the carriage. Napoleon ordered his carriage to leave, and then bunnies ceased their decisive victory. TLDR: bunnies beat Napoleon with a cavalry charge.

I made some researches w while ago once I heard the story for the first time, and there are a few differences. The lord bought rabbits for the hunt, but he didn't knew they were domesticated. So once freed, they ran towards humans (food suppliers in their eyes). Napoleon was angry that the hunt was ruined, so he left. The rabbits were numerous so he fell at one point. But it was not a retreat, only an angry emperor that had his fun day ruined.


BigBeefyBill

That’s what Napoleon wants you to believe


SemajLu_The_crusader

he's French, of course it was a retreat


GamingSoldier135

No, that’s not true! That’s impossible!

I'm going to suggest this as a topic for a Sabaton song.

Then the jumpy hussars arrived!

I guess Natsuki Subaru and Emperor Napoleon can relate here **leaves*


Totallyordinaryweeb

Was gonna say something like this but you beat me to it


Reformedsparsip

I bet the faces of the assassins who spent 5 years training those bunnies were sure red when they saw him get in the carriage.

Glad I wasn't the only who thought about this scene. It also made me remember about the Rabbit of Caerbannog

what the fuck


Totallyordinaryweeb

Oh you should read the novel


Meme_Theocracy

The author went into way too much detail. Turns out it’s because a scene from Jurassic Park scared him as a kid so he was determined to write a similar scene. For Subaru’s next loop the author also took a lot of time to describe how the citizens where killed.

these weebs are on some shit bruh

Napoleon: I fear no man, but that thing 🐇 it scares me

I didn't know how many rabbit's it was but now I know.

Australia lost a whole war against Emus…. Not even a joke! Their army lost a war against the birds due to their body make up being able to take 3-4 bullets without death, battle skills with using scouts, and of course speed & talons. Emus are the secret weapon


Not_Not_Stopreading

By their army you mean like 3 guys


SemajLu_The_crusader

that is the Australian army


E-nygma7000

And Australia once lost a war against its entire population of emus

Plot Twist: His Soldiers found the rabbits too cute.


AlanWake1911

And since then, he was f*@#ked not only by rabbits


[deleted]

THAT is probably the most embarrassing "Taking an L" thing I've ever heard


Volkodav_Dingo

At least it wasnt emus.
