Due to the unpopularity of the Paris legion, the army led by Lin Haoda lost thousands of men before coming to the battlefield of Valmy, which was used to suppress the local uprising.

At the same time, there was a special barracks in the rear of the line infantry in which hundreds of French women whose husbands and fathers participated in the revolutionary struggle against the line infantry......

As for the original Shaya, no matter how powerful her physique was, and how 'merciful' the line infantry was, at the critical moment when she had just broken through 10,000 people, she finally died due to overwork and lost her yin......

This made the officers at all levels of the line infantry understand a truth, this kind of camp needs a large number of French women to fill, with the expansion of the size of the legion, the number of soldiers has increased significantly, and it is irresponsible for their lives to rely on a few French women to serve!

At the end of September 1792, under a gloomy and oppressive weather, Lin Haoda's army and the main forces of the Allied army in the Valmi Heights were in formation and swayed against each other.

First of all, it was the artillery of both sides that took the lead in roaring, and when the roar of the 100 12-pounder infantry field guns that had just entered the artillery advance position sounded, the main front of the Allied Army was suddenly beaten into a commotion!

It was the first time they had seen an enemy position bombarded with 100 guns at the same time in a battle where they were still on the side being bombarded.

If it weren't for the great success of the revolutionary ideology in brainwashing these main forces of the coalition army, I am afraid that a few salvos of 100 artillery pieces would have destroyed them!

The commanders of the coalition forces and the leaders of the radical faction were unstable when they saw that their front was being bombarded by enemy artillery, and in this case, not to mention taking the initiative to attack, even defense was a problem.

As a result, a large number of fanatics of the Radical faction came to the front of the Union front, ignored the overwhelming artillery roar on the opposite side, raised their military caps with their swords, symbolizing victory, and waved and shouted to the crowd: "Long live the French nation, for the sake of family, for equality, for freedom!! ”

The revolutionary slogan of 'Long live the nation' soon spread throughout the entire Valmi Heights and resounded throughout the whole army as the battalions collectively chanted!

Under the roar of hundreds of 12-pounder infantry field guns, the main force of the Allied Army regained its strength, looked straight ahead with a firm face, and the Allied soldiers beside their comrades who were killed by iron bullets, although there was a trace of fear in their eyes, they did not dare to show it at all, as if they did not want to be cowards in the eyes of others, silently carried down the bodies of their companions and buried them.

In Lin Haoda's version of the salvo of 100 guns, those artillery pieces of the alliance army were of no great use at all, and the commander of the alliance army saw that his morale was aroused, and in order to avoid the morale being re-smashed by the long-term artillery bombardment, he decisively issued an order for the whole army to assault!

The 100,000-strong army marched in sequence, but not a single one of them flinched, and the main force of the coalition army, made up of the sans-culottes, once again showed their tenacity in battle, proving how resilient their belief was in the pursuit of freedom and bread in order to free themselves from oppression!

The 100,000 Alliance troops were not just on the front line of Valmy Heights, when the Alliance Army launched a full-scale attack, there were more than 30,000 elite Alliance troops with rich combat experience who broke through from the two flanks to Lin Haoda's artillery position.

The Allied commander knew that in the face of a constant bombardment of hundreds of artillery pieces, no matter how strong the morale would pass, it would be necessary to capture or disperse the opponent's artillery positions in order to achieve full victory.

This was a typical infantry and artillery line shooting war, Lin Haoda only placed one Guards Regiment infantry division on the front line, the other Guards Regiment infantry division was left as a reserve, and the ordinary infantry division was placed on the two flanks of the artillery position to guard against the almost inevitable attack of the main force of the Union Army.

The battle began with the chanting of the nation, and a large number of the main forces of the Union army were huddled together, singing the Marseillaise, and there was no strict formation, just holding the red, white and blue tricolor flags.

Members of the Radical faction and officers of the Confederate Army, carrying their swords and caps, walked at the forefront, driving the high slogans of battle as they went.

If it weren't for the constant shadow of death brought by the bullets flying across the battlefield, the Confederate soldiers dressed in motley civilian clothing would have been like a marching procession singing the Marseillaise......

Due to the seizure of a large number of weapons of the Austro-Prussian intervention forces in the main force of the coalition army, almost every attacker in the front half was armed with a musket, and those in the back were naturally armed with cold weapons.

Under the bombardment of hundreds of artillery pieces, it only took less than half an hour to kill thousands of Union soldiers, and as the distance between the two sides approached, the casualties of the Alliance Army also increased exponentially!

In the melody of the Marseillaise, most of the frontal attacking coalition army has not stopped advancing, and the melody that brought a huge nightmare to the line infantry in the street battle of Versailles is close at hand.

Lin Haoda, who was in the rear, frowned slightly, and he found that even the veterans of the line of the Guards Regiment had obvious fluctuations when they saw the black-pressed crowd holding the red, white and blue tricolor flags and singing the Marseillaise song.

It seems that in the battle of Versailles, the Marseillaise curve brought a great shadow to the infantry, and before the two sides could engage the enemy, their morale began to decrease!

"Hey, even if the ordinary line infantry has rich combat experience, it is difficult to obtain the state of loyalty to the death, and the historical smashing points in the future will still be invested in the Young Guard, these line infantry are becoming more and more dangerous in the face of the French people's armed forces with high morale."

In Lin Haoda's field of vision, although this kind of morale reduction is not large, it will not affect the overall combat effectiveness, but this is definitely a bad sign, you know, the line infantry has been fought all the way from the undefeated battle, even so, when encountering the civilian armed forces with the red, white and blue tricolor flags of the Marseillaise, it will produce fluctuations in morale, in case of a battlefield disadvantage, it is not surprising to trigger a chain of rout!

This is the limitation of the line infantry, they are just ordinary people, with their own fears, when these images of the French people singing the Marseillaise are deeply embedded in the hearts of the line infantry, every time they face such troops, even if the line infantry has an advantage in combat skills, but the morale will undoubtedly be suppressed.

Suppressed morale is a fatal crisis on the battlefield, and if it is not done well, it will be the end of the rout of all the staff.

Fortunately, the roar of a hundred guns greatly offset the morale of the armed men without cons-culottes, and the soldiers of the Guards Legion who had experienced the fierce street battles of Versailles were still on the front line, and they would not collapse easily for a while, but they were ......

On the two-wing battlefield where Lin Haoda couldn't see with a monocular, the two wings defensive front with similar numbers had already fought together, and the elite of the Alliance Army finally succeeded in closing the distance of hand-to-hand combat after surviving several rounds of dense salvos, and the Third Infantry Division quickly showed its decline in front of the elite of the Alliance Army with high morale, and was compressed inward step by step.

However, the 3rd Infantry Division was only the first line of defense on the periphery of the two wings of the artillery position, and there was a reserve defense line composed of the 2nd Division of the Guards Corps behind it, so Lin Haoda was not worried that his artillery position would be destroyed by the other side.

Bang bang bang......

While the 3rd Infantry Division on both flanks was in a bitter battle, a dense firing formation suddenly opened on the frontal battlefield in the center.

The frontal Allied troops wanted to charge directly with bayonets after firing two or three volleys, but the cross-fire cut off by a hundred artillery pieces, under the close bombardment, was like a massacre of the middle crowd of the Allied army.

In accordance with the standard campaign 'routine', the 1st Guards Division launched a forward attack on the front line of the Allied Army by shooting at Xu Jin, intending to completely defeat the main frontal force of the advancing Allied Army in accordance with the standard campaign 'routine', but unfortunately, the crowded sans-culottes shouted the slogan of long live the nation and freedom will win like crazy, and repeatedly launched repeated charges against the line of the 1st Guards Division of the Guards Corps shot by Xu Jin.

The defeated Confederate soldiers without sans-culottes re-emerged in less than ten minutes under the unscientific brainwashing slogan, and after fighting with the Guards for a while, they were replaced by a group of fresh troops and launched a charge again......

The ability of the Radical Faction to deceive people can be seen, and the soldiers of the Guards Legion on the front line looked at the red, white and blue tricolor flags that kept coming up, and refused to move forward anymore, because they did not want to be sent to death senselessly!

A situation that Lin Haoda had never encountered before, the soldiers of the 1st Guards Division, who had lost nearly half of them, refused to carry out the orders of their superiors, and continued to attack the coalition troops who were bombarded by artillery and launched a suicidal crazy charge one by one.

If Lin Haoda gives a mandatory order, it is very likely to cause the collapse of the front-line soldiers on the whole front!

This is the first time Lin Haoda has encountered it on the battlefield, it is the Guards Legion who has experienced the bloody battle of Versailles, all of them are street battle veterans who survived the line infantry, and they were frightened by the suicidal charge of the Alliance Army!

In desperation, Lin Haoda had no choice but to order the first-line Guards soldiers to return to the chest of the defensive line, regroup, and quietly wait for hundreds of 12-pounder infantry field guns to bombard the exposed sea of Alliance soldiers.

Lin Haoda looked at the frightened expressions of the front-line guards legionnaires, and began to understand in his heart why tens of thousands of elite Puao regular legions were completely defeated by a group of mud-legged soldiers.

The Union soldiers without sans-culottes on the opposite side are just crazy, the regular army is fighting with muskets, and they are defending the right to freedom with their lives!

However, Lin Haoda is very curious, how long can such a strong willpower last under the bombardment of a hundred large-caliber artillery pieces?
