His tactics were quite innovative for the time:

  • Talented usage of artillery and cavalry
  • Surprise attacks
  • Quick movement of his armies across land, often ignoring supply lines and using local resources
  • Extremely high morale of his army - Napoleon knew how to make soldiers loyal and inspire them

He also gained huge support of civil population in France, meaning that he got his back covered throughout the wars.

He also broke his army up into smaller yet still complete units. Which made huge supply lines unnecessary.
