Chapter 42: The Power of the Army VII
Arnold's agreement to continue to help Mayar in the Bastille attack was not only because of the support of a high-ranking officer of the National Guard whose reputation had been greatly affected during the siege, but also because of the flames of revenge that burned in his heart!
As long as Arno thought of the three disciples who followed him on the mission, his heart was full of anger as soon as he thought of the three disciples who had followed him on the mission, and reason told him that the probability of revenge was too slim to put his life in it meaninglessly here, which was not in line with the Assassin's Creed, and would also deal a blow to the strength of the Assassin Brotherhood. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Mayal's commitment and cooperation gave Arno an additional plausible reason in his mind, just like Arno said, instead of going deep into the Bastille and killing the commander of the defenders under the protection of an unknown number of people, it was better to find a way to break through the fire trap set by the Bastille defenders behind the city gate and bring the way of battle back to a fair stage.
Offset the disadvantages of the Bastille terrain for the Revolutionary Army!
Arnold knew very well that as long as the revolutionary army could break through the Bastille, after such heavy casualties, the angry armed citizens of Paris would definitely torture and kill all the prisoners in the Bastille, especially the commander who was hiding behind the scenes, not to mention Mayal, even the standing committee behind him would not dare to disobey the collective will of the angry and bereaved citizens of Paris!
Therefore, to help the revolutionary army break through the Bastille is to avenge his disciples!
Of course, among the reasons why Arno would rather help the Revolutionary Army storm the Bastille head-on than assassinate the commander of the Bastille defenders in depth, there is also an important one, Arno can sense that if he really wants to assassinate the yellow-skinned commander in this situation, he is likely to die inside!
It's just an intuition, a perception of life and death that Arno has developed over decades of assassin career, and it doesn't make sense, that's what he thinks!
Compared with going deep into the Bastille and facing unknown dangers, Arno still had the confidence to escape with the large army when the revolutionary army attacked.
――――
While Mayar was regrouping and preparing to storm again with all his might, the defenders in the Bastille were busy maintaining their fortifications!
The corpses on the city gate and the drawbridge have not been cleared, these obstacles are the natural fetters that hinder the pace of the revolutionary army's attack, and Lin Haoda's soldiers will not clean up these corpses before re-gambling on the Bastille gate and pulling up the drawbridge!
The corpses piled up in the cave of the city gate were even stacked in front of the drawbridge by the defenders of the Bastille, forming a half-man-high breastwork, so you can imagine how many corpses were left in the cave of the city gate......
Casio, the front-line commander of the Bastille garrison, knew very well that even if they were now temporarily blocking the city gate, as long as the drawbridge was not pulled up, the revolutionary army could use a small demolition team to blow up the temporarily blocked things, and in the era of gunpowder, fortresses became more and more fragile. Reduced to a killing paradise for attackers.
It was the massive popularization and rapid development of the power of firearms and gunpowder that people gradually focused on sports warfare in the field and street battles in the city!
The towering walls were gradually replaced by dense buildings and barricades, and the effect was surprisingly good, even in the era of World War II, when artillery could wash the floor and tanks crush the trenches, urban street fighting was an impassable barrier for attackers, and the defenders only needed courage to continue fighting!
Of course, in the era in which Lin Haoda lived, mainstream military strategists had not yet realized the efficiency and brutality of street fighting, as well as the importance of mobility in field combat.
This has a great deal to do with the military structure and nationalism at this time, and Lin Haoda is actually quite satisfied with the environment of this era, if he travels through an era where nationalism is in vogue, it will undoubtedly be more difficult for him to want the political direction of solipsistic dictatorship......
Lin Haoda doesn't want the kind of oligarchic ordinary military dictator, what he wants is an ending that can be passed on to future generations, maintain the glory of the royal family, and make the empire the master of the world!
The lowest-level line infantry in the all-out war system can reach the level of an ordinary regular army, how can Lin Haoda not breed the ambition of devouring the sky?
Lin Haoda before entering the Bastille and Lin Haoda, who was broken at this time, but also repelled the Paris Revolutionary Army, have undergone a huge change in mentality!
Lin Haoda glanced at Zhaoyun, the only one around him who was a yellow race, and a murderous blood light flashed in his eyes, he knew that a yellow person, no matter how strong, wanted to take power above the heads of this group of proud whites in Europe, it was tantamount to a fool's dream, unless......
However, Lin Haoda is not a fool, the timeline of this world has entered the late Age of Discovery, and the world's message transmission is no longer closed, if he really does that, it is almost ironclad to become the public enemy of the world in the future!
Therefore, Lin Haoda must find a reason for outsiders and the world, and also put on a seemingly reasonable coat for his future behavior, at least not let everyone regard himself as an irrational murderer......
The difference between a tyrant and an anniversary is still obvious......
The former will only be feared by the world, but the latter will be resisted by everyone!
This is a choice made by the basic survival instinct of human beings.
"It seems that there are only a few routes that are most suitable for my Asian appearance." Lin Haoda stood in front of the window, looking at the armed citizens of Paris resting outside the Bastille, and muttered to himself.
"Master, whatever you decide, we are with you!" Zhaoyun didn't know when he came to Lin Haoda's side, and said in a firm tone.
Lin Haoda didn't look back, and asked casually like a casual chatter: "Zhaoyun, what else are you going to do besides killing people?" ”
In fact, this is also the question Lin Haoda asked himself, in his previous life, he was a killer mercenary, and the yellow boy who was possessed after crossing over was also a mercenary who wanted to be a hero......
It can be said that he does not know any craft except to kill people with weapons......
After hearing this, Zhaoyun replied seriously without thinking about it: "In addition to killing people, I will also serve men!" ”
Lin Haoda: "......!!! ”
He looked at Zhaoyun in a daze, and held back three words: "Talent......"
