"Toot ~ Toot Toot Toot ......" The high charge resounded all over the land, and Linden, who was wearing civilian clothes and a triangular army hat inlaid with red, white and blue cockades. The tens of thousands of righteous troops led by General Wan launched a surging crowd of people all over the mountains. For the first time, General Wan let his troops show their fangs to the entire continent after being tempered!

The red, white and blue tricolor flags fluttering high and the dense straggler line charge are quite similar to the momentum of the elite bayonet charge of Lao Maozi in this era.

"For France, long live !!"

Bang bang bang ~~~

It is a pity that the flintlock guns of this era are far less powerful than the machine guns of later generations, even if the queue is good, and the shooting efficiency is high, and the machine guns of later generations are far less powerful. General Wan's troops were no longer in a rigid dense queue charge, but used the rudiments of the straggler charge in later wars, but because there was no need to dodge high-power weapons such as machine guns, the straggler formation appeared more dense.

Linden. General Wan's force, which had painstakingly condensed the soul of the army, had completed the establishment of a firm belief after the last large-scale ambush completely defeated the main force of the National Guard in the Vendée region, and most of the rebel soldiers believed that they were in Linden. Under the leadership of General Wan, he will never fail, even if the enemy's strength is strong. General Wan can also lead them to find the enemy's weak spots, and then crush the enemy with a tenacious national revolutionary fighting will!

The platoon of guns of the Young Guard, which numbered only a few thousand people, could not repel the fanatical rebel soldiers of the rejuvenated French Revolution, and after the forward line of the rebel soldiers approached within 20 meters, the Young Guards gave up reloading, and the soldiers in the front row all pointed at the rebel charging group that was about to collide with them with bayonets in a dense line phalanx.

However, to the surprise of the Young Guards, this group of rebel soldiers, who had been in high momentum under the charge, very sensibly stopped in front of the bayonet phalanx, then raised their flintlock pistols that had not been used, and opened fire forward!

The rebel soldiers did not have any queue, let alone an officer to command, but they were accustomed to running in front of the bayonet phalanx of the Young Guards and shooting.

This is nothing, the Young Guards are not afraid of being shot in line at such a close distance, but when the Young Guards thought that this group of crazy rebels rushed to the front of the queue to be shot with a large number of battle damage, the rebel soldiers who had fired directly took out their homemade black powder bombs from their bodies, lit them and threw them into the pile of Young Guards soldiers who were close by......

When the officers and men of the Young Guards saw this, they could no longer maintain a tight bayonet phalanx, so they had no choice but to launch a counter-charge with absolutely weak forces!

That's what the rebels want!

If you directly rush the bayonet phalanx of the Young Guards, which is densely lined up and immobile like a mountain, not to mention how many people have died, no matter how high the morale is, it will be difficult for the rebel soldiers in the straggler line to break through the tight queue bayonet phalanx!

The generals of Europe are not stupid, they naturally know that the use of stragglers when charging can effectively reduce the hit rate of muskets, but when they rush to the front of the opponent's array to fight bayonets, they will suffer a big loss!

Therefore, the rebel soldiers used a large number of home-made black powder bombs to try to 'blow up' the dense bayonet phalanx of the Young Guards, forcing the other side to disperse and counterattack.

This method is similar to the elite grenadiers popular in Europe, however, grenadiers can only be a small number of elites, and not all soldiers dare to rush under the nose of the opponent with a gun and throw bombs!

As a result, Linden. General Wan used revolutionary demagogy and the charging horn to inspire people, and made tens of thousands of righteous soldiers launch a collective charge, and as a result, tens of thousands of 'fake grenadiers' were added at once......

As soon as the Young Guards charged, even the previous tight queue appeared a large number of gaps in an instant, making the solid bayonet jungle no longer impregnable.

Subsequently, the rebel soldiers, with their high morale and far outnumbered troops, attacked the counter-charging Young Guards from all directions!

The bloody hand-to-hand combat entered the climax period in less than half an hour after the battle, and the follow-up rebel soldiers kept shouting the slogan 'Long live France' with red eyes, and the phalanx of the originally formed Young Guards Army was gradually torn apart, divided, and then surrounded!

Qin Xue'er was right, without Lin Haoda's presence, the statal and constant morale of the Young Guards would have disappeared, at most, even if they were the morale level of the first-class strong army in the European continent, under such a large-scale struggle of being divided and surrounded by bayonets face to face, they gradually began to be unable to hold on!

Toot ~ Toot Toot Toot ......

With the sound of another continuous charge, another wave of the rebel army inserted into the battlefield, replacing the first wave of fighting for a long time, the exhausted friendly army, the battlefield of the enemy and the enemy, was stirred up by the rebels into a bayonet melee, you have me, I have you, selfless fighting.

Expressionless Linden. General Wan saw such a tragic bayonet fight, and the corners of his eyes twitched slightly, these tens of thousands of people were the descendants of the troops he had screened out in a few months, political brainwashing and actual combat experience, and as a result, they died together with the Young Guards in such a piece!

"Lin Haoda really lives up to his reputation, the elite soldiers under his command are all skilled in combat, all of them have the foundation of battlefield veterans, and their fighting will is extra tenacious, and now they have been completely divided and surrounded, and they still don't surrender!

It seems that I am very correct in avoiding a head-on confrontation with Lin Haoda's main force as much as possible, and this is only a young guard army that stayed in the Brittany theater of operations and came out to fight with me in the field, so that it can be fought like this, if the conditions are the same......"

Linden. General Wan knew in his heart that in his eyes, the strongest force in the world today was undoubtedly the Young Guards under Lin Haoda. General Wan became even more taboo about Lin Haoda's troops!

This field battle lasted from early to dusk, and the fierceness of the battle soon spread throughout the upper echelons of the European continent, because it took place on the outskirts of Nantes, known as the Battle of Nantes.

No one knows about Linden, who won the Battle of Nantes. General Wan's troops suffered so much that they learned from the civilians around Nantes that there were more than 30,000 corpses buried on the battlefield......
