古德明《征服英語》之英語軍事故事，古德明，香港英語教育作家，他開了一個《征服英語專欄》，在專欄中專門用英語寫了世界近代史上的軍事小故事，用英語講述歷史中那些驚心動魄的戰爭。奧斯德立茲戰役
in the battle of austerlitz in 1805, napoleon's 68000-strong army outmanoeuvred and defeated a russo-austrian army of almost 90000. it was one of napoleon's greatest victories. a famous yet frightful episode transpired during the allied army's retreat: russian forces that had been defeated by the french right withdrew south towards vienna via the satschan frozen ponds. french artillery pounded towards the men, but napoleon redirected his gunners to fire at the ice. the men drowned in the viciously cold ponds, dozens of artillery pieces going down along with them.
一八○五年奧斯德立茲一役，拿破侖六萬八千余人的軍隊以高超戰術打敗了俄國、奧地利將近九萬人的聯軍，是拿破侖最輝煌的一場勝仗。聯軍撤退時，有一段膾炙人口的可怕故事：被法軍右翼擊潰的俄軍向南望維也納退卻，經過結冰的薩斯錢池塘，法國炮兵向他們猛轟，但拿破侖吩咐炮兵轉而向寒冰轟擊，俄軍落在奇寒的池水，紛紛淹死，幾十尊大炮和他們一起沉到池底。
