In fact, in the street battle that took place on the 21st, Lin Haoda's army was not evenly deployed on the line from the Bastille to the Paris City Hall, but chose to guard the traffic arteries and the barricades of the main roads, forming strongholds where they could cover each other's coordinated operations and provide effective support!

After all, Lin Haoda has too many troops, and it is impossible to shoehorn them all into the Bastille, and besides, Lin Haoda also has a ruthless and self-interested idea in his heart - to use the advantages of terrain defense as much as possible to kill and injure the National Guard and armed citizens!

In this way, the historical smash points can be maximized after the end of the battle, and whether this behavior will cause heavy losses to the line infantry...... In Lin Haoda's eyes, as long as the benefits are enough!

Such an arrangement can not only maximize the killing of officers and soldiers of the National Guard, but also weaken the military power led by the Marquis de Lafayette, paving the way for future compromise negotiations, why didn't Lin Haoda do this?

Indeed, this kind of fighting method of defending one place and not giving up will make one's own army bleed a lot, but the line infantry with defensive points will definitely create more enemy corpses before dying, and with this support, it is enough for Lin Haoda to let go.

Cheap line infantry, Lin Haoda doesn't care about excessive losses, as long as his death is worth the money, it's cruel, but it's also very realistic!

The only thing that Lin Haoda had some miscalculations was that he didn't expect the National Guard after Lafayette to adjust the resilience of the battle, and in the case of multi-point defense and mutual cooperation, the National Guard Force relied on the absolute numerical superiority and firepower superiority, so that the defensive strength of all the strongholds under Lin Haoda became overstretched!

This style of play will certainly make Lin Haoda's army lose sight of one or the other, but in the same way, the National Guard, which is eager to achieve results, will also have to pay more lives for it!

In the street battle on the 21st, although the Marquis de Lafayette successfully expelled the remnants of Lin Haoda's soldiers to the Bastille and the Paris City Hall at both heads, it did not mean that Lin Haoda failed in this killing feast.

What Lin Haoda has to do at this time is just to end this battle as soon as possible so that he can receive the battle rewards he deserves......

The Total War system is not very clear about the concept of whether the battle is over or not, and the total war system does not consider the end of the entire campaign even if the battle with the National Guard is over when the Marquis de Lafayette did not arrive in the city of Paris......

Lin Haoda learned through inquiry that the conditions for the end of the entire campaign can be roughly divided into two points, the first is naturally that the two sides reach a long-term or short-term truce, and the second is to have a great victory recognized by the world, crushing a decisive main force of the enemy, so that the enemy army can no longer launch a large-scale attack in a short time!

For Lin Haoda, the second is obviously easier to achieve than the first.

That's why he kept the most elite grenadiers and waited for the right moment, he didn't need to completely defeat the National Guard, he didn't have the strength to crush the constitutional monarchists who occupied the political high ground, he just needed a hearty victory to crush the main force of the National Guard in the city of Paris!

The drive of Casio and his party to the Paris City Hall was not a small accident, and the attack of the National Guard was so brutal that when Casio wanted to evacuate, the passage of the Bastille had been completely closed, and he had to retreat to the Paris City Hall......

Under the command of the Marquis de Lafayette, the Paris City Hall, which is full of bullet holes, has little value to occupy, and he naturally will not send too many troops to capture the Paris City Hall, after the Paris City Hall is captured, the 'rebels' of the Bastille will still resist under the command of Lin Haoda as always, but if the Bastille is defeated, the remnants of the Paris City Hall will basically surrender on their own initiative, which Lafayette and others can still see.

Therefore, the siege of the Paris City Hall was only a group of armed citizens of Paris who had not entered the formation, and the Marquis de Lafayette used it to block the way out of the remnants of the Paris City Hall, so that they could not break through and affect the upcoming Bastille attack.

In the temporary operations command room of the Marquis de Lafayette, the battle casualties on the 21st were much larger, but the basic battle objectives had been taken, and more than a dozen strongholds of the 'Blue Demon' had been removed, and then it was only necessary to wait until dawn on the 22nd to mobilize all the artillery to blast down the seemingly tall walls of the Bastille and carry out the final victorious charge!

No matter how many Lin Haoda rebels remained in the Bastille, under the enthusiastic charge of the main force of the National Guard and the armed citizens that followed them, there would be no chance to turn the sky around.

At this time, it has become a mortal situation for Lin Haoda, and his only chance to turn the tables is to make a Jedi counterattack in the night before the National Guard launches an attack and break the main force of the National Guard gathered outside the Bastille!

On the bright side, this seems to be tantamount to a dream, the main force of the National Guard stationed outside the Bastille has exceeded 10,000 people, and there are countless armed citizens in the vicinity, so it will not be defeated by the thousands of Lin Haoda rebels in the Bastille......

What's more, in order to prevent the poor vision at night, the Marquis de Lafayette seized the gap and launched a counterattack by the dying Lin Haoda, and lit a large number of torches on the army station, even if it was not as bright as the day, it could greatly make up for the chaos caused by the darkness to the National Guard, which had not been in army for a long time!

It can be said that the prudence of the Marquis de Lafayette has blocked the opportunity for Lin Haoda's army to take advantage of the surprise attack at night, but this cannot stop Lin Haoda from ordering the grenadiers to attack!

The bright torches not only provide a field of vision for the soldiers of the National Guard, but also give the army under Lin Haoda a clearer attack goal, and most importantly, no matter how many torches, it cannot be compared with the daytime, in the night, the artillery of this era is basically equivalent to scrapping, and the probability of hitting your own soldiers is about the same as hitting the enemy soldiers with front-loading smoothbore guns......

To minimize the artillery superiority of the National Guard, this is one of the reasons why Lin Haoda chose to launch a strong attack at night.

Another reason, of course, is that the rout in the night is more difficult to save than the rout in the daytime!

Lin Haoda's limited forces only have one chance to defeat the enemy, he must not let the National Self-Defense Forces have time to quickly reorganize and rout, only the collapse of chain detonation can bring victory to Lin Haoda!
