The 'boss' who was sent to guard an important crossroads could not be a mediocre man, and the commander who had succeeded in calling out the blood in the hearts of the citizens of the National Guard was not only a great figure in the neighborhood where he lived, but also a well-spoken speaker and an ordinary member of the Jacobin Club.

Under his instigation, Conrad never dared to show his head and shiver behind the barricades, and 'evolved' to ignore the headless corpses under his feet, standing behind the barricades with flintlock pistols, exposing half of his body and staring directly at the advancing line infantry in the distance!

Conrad is the epitome of the citizens of the National Guard who defended the center of the barricade, and at this moment, the figure of the Jacobin Club revolutionary standing on the central stone platform is unusually tall.

A solid bullet 'passed' less than a meter away from his standing body, scattering a pile of debris behind him, but the commander's figure did not move......

The citizens of the National Guard who saw this scene around couldn't help but admire him even more, but they didn't know that the back of this motionless commander was already soaked in cold sweat, and the reason why he kept his body still was because the passing solid bullet made his body stiffen......

However, the commander soon reflected on it, and praised the solid bullet that did not hit him, and set off the revelation that the revolution must be victorious......

Then, naturally, the commander found a relatively safe place to take covert command......

Although he was full of confidence in the revolution, he did not have the conviction to put his life into it......

Compared to the Conrad family, whose children starved to death, the Jacobin Club member was undoubtedly in a much better situation, at least, his family could afford to eat black bread......

The battle on the streets was still raging, and the line infantry companies that were the vanguard had already withdrawn for reorganization due to more than half of the casualties, and a steady stream of reserve companies had been replaced.

Light infantry is as obscene as a vampire who harvests life...... Oh no, I mean cautious cats in hidden positions, aiming at angry, furious, or crazy citizens of the National Guard!

The houses on both sides of the main road were swept away by the line infantry, and soon the citizens of Paris, who were not good at bayonet hand-to-hand combat, were driven out, and the front gradually moved towards the first crossroads barricades.

When the houses on the two sides of the main road were cleared before, the bombardment of the barricades at the intersection by the six-pounder infantry field guns never stopped, although the hit rate of the smoothbore guns was quite touching, but it was extremely powerful!

Even if it misses, the fast-flying solid iron bullets can often easily smash a crater once they touch the well-arranged barricades, and the surrounding soldiers are even more slashed by the flying sharp debris.

If it weren't for the fact that the soldiers of the National Guard at the crossroads defense center were all citizens of Paris with strong revolutionary convictions, and the backbone members of the revolution who were eloquent and could constantly mobilize the morale of the fighters, they would have collapsed under the fire of the artillery......

After all, this was a one-sided bombardment, and Lin Haoda's artillery could confidently and boldly advance the six-pounder infantry field gun to a closer and safe distance to bombard, and the hit rate would naturally be much higher.

After clearing the National Guard musketeers from the houses on both sides, Casio gathered thousands of lines of infantry as an assault force, and under the cover of artillery, they swarmed into the barricades of the first intersection with a dense array of bayonets.

On the barricade line at the intersection of the National Guard, as well as the firing positions of the houses on both sides, the musketeers who had been waiting for a long time pulled the trigger fiercely.

All of a sudden, the barricades at the intersection were covered by a cloud of white smoke.

As the white smoke rose, the line infantry in the charge suddenly fell more than three digits of soldiers!

Lin Haoda frowned and raised his binoculars to look at this situation, he now understands a little bit why street fighting has become a bloody meat grinder after history has entered the era of thermal weapons, this is still in the era when there are no machine guns and breech guns, the lethality of simply using flintlock pistols with backward rates of fire can be imagined, when firearms are developed to the extent of World War I and World War II, how grand the 'hospitality' will be for the soldiers in the charge......

Even if the combat effectiveness of the line infantry is higher than that of the National Guard on the opposite side, but in the face of lead bullet, the survival rate of veterans and recruits is the same, and as long as they are hit, they will be killed, and at this time, prayer to God seems to become more important?

Oh, by the way, you can also pray to the Jade Emperor, the Buddha, the Allah Allah, the Monkey King or something......

However, after a volley, the gap between the mob and the regular army is vividly manifested, and the tense and bloody battlefield environment makes it unnatural for even the private to come out of the training ground, let alone a group of ordinary Parisian citizens who have nothing but blood and faith......

In the first round of volleys, the charging queue of the line infantry was really beaten into a commotion, and the scene of soldiers with more than three digits brushing down to the ground was still very scary......

A dense storm formation maximizes the impact, but also increases the density of your team's fire.

If there is a salvo of this level, the National Guard can continue to come for a few more rounds, even if the morale has been strengthened by a variety of bonuses, and the line infantry with the bullets of the junior officers will be completely destroyed!

After all, they are just ordinary line infantry, not even grenadiers, and their morale is even inferior to light infantry......

Unfortunately, the essence of mob arming does not change in just a few days, and after the first volley, the soldiers of the National Guard have to enter a state of free fire, and the daring mob, who often play with muskets, can barely maintain the reload speed of ordinary line infantry and shoot.

However, most citizens of the National Guard regularly make various retarded mistakes when reloading, resulting in a significant reduction in reloading efficiency......

The average line infantry could fire with flintlock pistols two or three times a minute, but the average rate of fire of these citizens of the National Guard was difficult to even one shot per minute......

The intermittent free fire of the barricade line could not stop the swarm charge of the line infantry, and the fire points exposed by the buildings on both sides were also included in the fire targets of the light infantry covering behind the flanks, and the citizens of the National Guard who were hit were constantly snorting or screaming and falling headlong from the rooftops and windows!

I wish all candidates the title of the college entrance examination gold list!
