"Damn, which group of robbers came to rob early in the morning, even if the world is chaotic, it is not the time for these bandits to get away!"

Uncle Sean, the sheriff of the town, took his old flintlock pistol for hunting, and walked out of the door with his clothes scolding. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Hearing the rapid and brief sound of the alarm bell, the reason why the little sheriff Sean was still so calm was because he knew very well that a real mob could not come to patronize the 'hometown of his own people', and that only a small number of bandits who had no moral limits and did everything for money could come to the town to rob.

Not to mention the dozens of security militia in the town, if you encounter real bandits, it is not a problem for hundreds of young men with weapons to be pulled out of the town, and there will be some 'veterans' who have fought with the peasant rebel army, so naturally they will not be afraid of the wandering bandits who are even worse than the peasant rebel army.

Uncle Sean, the sheriff, kissed his two children on the foreheads before leaving the house, and after having a loving and romantic French kiss with his wife, he said gently: "Don't worry, my dear, I will be back soon, this place is relatively close to the city of Paris, there will be no big bandits, I know most of the members of the rural committee around me, there will be no accidents." ”

After saying that, Uncle Sean waved his hand and left his warm little home with his flintlock pistol.

Even though her husband would not have an accident from a rational point of view, the middle-aged French woman still hugged her two children and watched her husband walk out of the yard with a worried expression.

After Sheriff Sean came to the streets of the town, he soon waited for more than 20 vigilantes living nearby, most of whom were part-time, and had their own jobs and businesses in the town on weekdays.

This was also the form of organization in most French towns, and before the fall of the authority of the king of the Kingdom of France, there were still administrators and tax collectors from the big cities, but when the revolution broke out and the peasants revolted, the nobles and officials who were not in the towns all left the towns with no defenses and armies, and went to live in the big cities or castles that they thought were safer.

This is how the functions of government in the entire French countryside collapsed after the outbreak of the revolution, some small towns continued to operate under the leadership of priests and local minor nobles, and some small towns were temporarily maintained by armed magistrates, most of which were originally under the management of nobles and priests, but unfortunately, the rural councils completely destroyed the only remaining management mechanism in France, and in the face of the rampaging mob armament, the nobles and priests had only one choice but to flee......

You must know that in the French countryside, the richest are the church and the aristocracy, and even if the rural councils do not target the church, they will deprive the church of its property, how can the priests stay in the countryside and be robbed?

Fleeing with money is the right way!

After seeing more than 20 heavily armed militiamen gathered around him, Sheriff Sean confidently ordered: "Guys, follow me to destroy that group of outsiders who don't open their eyes!" ”

"Destroy the Outsiders!"

Everyone immediately raised their guns and echoed.

Led by Sheriff Uncle Sean, more than 20 vigilantes armed with muskets walked along the town's main road towards the alarm bell.

Uncle Sean and the others soon discovered that something was wrong, from the entrance of the town, the townspeople who fled in a panic kept coming, many of them were young and strong men, normally speaking, these townspeople have a high belief in defending their hometown in this troubled era, and women and children can still understand when they run away, what is the situation when the big men run away?

Before Uncle Sean could catch an escaped townsman and ask about the situation, several better-eyed vigilantes beside him pointed to the end of the street and shouted, "Oh my God, that's the military flag, it's not bandits who are coming to town, it's the regular army, and they're dispersing the townspeople!" ”

Uncle Sean looked up, under the early morning sun, a group of soldiers in blue military uniforms, under the rhythm of military music and drums, jogged and held flintlock pistols with bayonets, and advanced along the two sides of the main road, and the townspeople encountered along the road were mercilessly pressed to the ground by these murderous soldiers and guarded, if anyone dared to fight back, these soldiers would not hesitate to raise their bayonets and plunge into the body of this rebel!

The death of a few young men in the middle of the street has proved that these regular soldiers are not good.

"They have golden irises on their banners, they are not the National Guard, they are mercenaries attached to the royal family!"

Uncle Shaun, the sheriff, muttered to himself with a dark expression.

The security militia of more than 20 people had already stopped at this time, and of course they dared to fight desperately against the bandits, but if they fought with the regular army......

They haven't lived enough!

Don't you see, those revolutionary and rebellious mobs don't dare to confront the regular army?

The regular army of this period, especially the mercenaries subordinate to the king, was not at all polite to kill people!

The line infantry of the vanguard company, under the orders of the officer, quickly lined up a two-row gun formation, raised their guns and aimed at Uncle Sean's side and shouted: "Armed townspeople in front, listen, we are the French Foreign Legion on behalf of the government, and we have been ordered to investigate the case of the mob attacking the logistics convoy, on behalf of the king, on behalf of the government, we ask you to immediately lay down your arms and wait for the arrangement, Otherwise, you will bear the consequences! ”

Suddenly pointed at hundreds of flintlock pistols, Uncle Sean lived for decades or experienced such an exciting scene for the first time, after hearing the other party's shouting, he threw away the weapon in his hand with a snap, raised his hands in a tremble and shouted: "Don't shoot, we surrender, we are just ordinary townspeople, we have no intention of rebelling against the government and the king!" ”

The morale of the vigilante around Uncle Sean is not much better, throwing away the weapons in his hands at a speed that is not slower than that of Uncle Sean, raising his hands and shouting in surrender, for fear that if he takes a step slower and becomes a ghost under the gun, he will die unjustly......

After this group of line infantry saw the other side surrender, half of them collected their guns and stepped forward to guard Uncle Sean and his party, isolated from their weapons, and someone behind them specially collected these weapons, and the useful ones were left as spare guns and ammunition for future battles, and the useless ones were thrown in one place and piled up for follow-up processing.

This was just the beginning of the town's disaster.
