"The revolution has broken out throughout the country, the end of other cities has proved the authority of the constitutional monarchy, and now we have only a trivial obstacle before us - the sentence of Lin Haoda entrenched in the Bastille!

Let us march to Paris with a revolutionary army full of enthusiasm, in addition to us, there will be a steady stream of national guards from other cities to come to support in the future, Lin Haoda is just a trapped army without foreign aid, victory will definitely belong to us! “

In the Palace of Versailles, the Marquis de Lafayette gave his last mobilization speech to the bigwigs of the constitutional monarchy, and in a chorus, the Marquis de Lafayette officially took more than 60,000 National Guards who had experienced the tempering of the war on the morning of the 19th to the city of Paris!

At the same time, on the morning of July 19, 1789, Lin Haoda finally waited for the artillery roar of the National Guard to attack!

Larry. The men and horses of Tolandal, who captured the artillery from the main force of the king's army, began to fire at Lin Haoda's army from all fronts!

The National Guard, the only enemy left, Lin Haoda, finally showed their real fangs, and a large number of artillery pieces of all kinds were pushed to the front line, bombarding the buildings and barricades where the line infantry was hidden, and then the National Guard soldiers holding red, white and blue tricolor flags and wearing civilian clothes shouted the slogan of freedom and charged!

In less than an hour, the entire city of Paris was filled with a continuous volley of muskets, mixed with the howls of a large number of bayonets in hand-to-hand combat!

The narrow terrain of the city of Paris often allowed only two or three volleys of defensive line infantry to enter melee hand-to-hand combat. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

With the rally. The 30,000 veterans of the National Guard, led by Torandal, were the backbone of the National Guard, and the morale of the National Guard in the entire Paris city burst out high, because they knew that the municipal revolution was beginning to break out in the whole of France, and the victory would be theirs!

Although the radicals of other factions, such as the Jacobins, who had not been liquidated, also joined the National Guard in large numbers to organize attacks, although this practice would give these radical members who represented the interests of the middle and lower classes of citizens a boost in the army, and create a huge obstacle to the future liquidation, and even prevent the liquidation from happening, the constitutional monarchists represented by the Marquis de Lafayette could no longer care about so much.

The increasing number of garrisons in the area controlled by Lin Haoda made the constitutional monarchists led by the Marquis de Lafayette worried about this civil war, and they had to gather all the forces they could to attack Lin Haoda's army!

In fact, only the National Guard forces and armed citizens controlled by the revolutionary government attacked Lin Haoda's army, and neither the robed nobles, the sword-wielding nobles of the feudal lords, nor even the liberal nobles sent their own forces to help the National Guard, let alone the king's faction......

In any case, Lin Haoda spared no effort in the previous suppression of the Paris Revolution, and his attitude of loyalty to the king was much stronger than those who just shouted slogans, but Lin Haoda used the corpses of thousands of soldiers under his command all the way to the Paris City Hall!

Who would believe that he had no heart for the king?

Even if he is for his own benefit, he is on the side of the king's faction!

Otherwise, Lin Haoda didn't need to attack the Paris City Hall at all, so many people died, and it would be enough for him to lead his troops to fight out of the city of Paris and leave Paris, the center of power dumping......

Most of the nobles are still very happy to see the National Guard and the loyal Lin Haoda confront, although the National Guard has won benefits for them, but the wildness of the National Guard is too scary, and the nobles naturally have a sense of unease about this group of mud-legged armed people who do not obey the order!

The aristocracy could not believe that the poor lower class people would still maintain due respect to them after mastering the armed forces, just as the sans-culottes no longer believed that the fat-brained nobles would bring them a good life......

Marquis Lafayette's self-righteous forcible pinching of these two opposing classes is itself a bit idealistic, and he has now succeeded with his great prestige, but it is only the manifestation of appearances, and the internal contradictions will only intensify with time, however, Lin Haoda's armed force has temporarily diverted the attention of the National Guard, and the aristocratic class will not have any crisis in the short term......

The great nobles are not stupid, how can they not see the purpose of Lin Haoda's armament?

Because of this, they sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight with peace of mind, and will not give any practical help to the National Guard, except for verbal promises!

As soon as the battle began on the 19th, it entered a white-hot phase. Torandal tried to take advantage of the revolutionary enthusiasm of the National Guard, which had initially been stirred up, to push the Bastille outskirts in one fell swoop, but unfortunately he miscalculated......

Where he miscalculated was that Lin Haoda didn't lie, he really had tens of thousands of troops!

After the National Guard captured the positions of the line infantry, waves of fresh troops continued to join in, fighting with the line infantry for every house, every barricade, and even every toilet!

However, the blue sea of line infantry seems to be endless, constantly emerging from the rear lanes to join this feast of fighting!

In this kind of battle in which tens of thousands of people were scattered throughout the city of Paris, the efficiency of the light infantry was insignificant, and even if the flintlock pistol was exquisitely made, it was not comparable to the sniper rifles of later generations......

In this battle, the consumption of lead bullet was not too large, because the narrow terrain made it easier for both sides to get into the situation of bayonets, and the frequency of fire from the flintlock pistol could not hit a few lead bullets......

The four artillery pieces owned by Lin Haoda are not enough at all in the face of the National Self-Defense Forces swarming from all directions, not to mention, this time the National Self-Defense Forces also have their own artillery units, and Lin Haoda does not dare to pull them to the front line at close range!

This kind of street fighting, the most test is the soldiers' personal combat quality, as well as the fighting courage to persevere!

Interestingly, both Lin Haoda's soldiers and the soldiers of the National Guard broke out with high morale in the battle on the 19th, and there were many sources of morale for the line infantry, among which the decisive role was the first step corps led by Casio to fight fires everywhere!

This veteran unit, which had only experienced tragic street battles, made the soldiers of the National Guard suffer a lot, and also provided a strong self-confidence to the ordinary line infantry!
