This battle is the key to determining whether the Marquis de Lafayette can still mix in the political arena of the Kingdom of France in the future, and for Lin Haoda, is it not the top priority of whether he can control Paris, the capital of France, and truly be invincible in the Kingdom of France?

Therefore, in the same way that the Marquis de Lafayette pulled out all the National Guards of Versailles as much as possible, Lin Haoda pulled out the vast majority of the main forces in addition to the necessary forces to control the city of Paris.

Because the city of Paris was relatively clean because of the tragic street fighting, and there were only more than 100,000 ordinary Parisian citizens who were trembling and prostrate under the bayonets of the French Foreign Legion, Lin Haoda only left more than 3,000 grenadiers to strengthen the regiment to guard this important city.

In Lin Haoda's eyes, the difference in strength between the two sides in this field battle is still obvious, and there is no need for the grenadiers to carry out any difficult tasks, what is the color of the National Guard on the other side Lin Haoda knows very well in his heart, don't look at them They have all experienced formal military training, but the vast majority of the officers and soldiers of the National Guard have not even killed anyone, let alone experienced a real battlefield environment!

In addition, Lin Haoda has more than 60,000 troops under his command, and the Marquis de Lafayette only has more than 50,000 National Guards, not even a full-fledged cavalry formed unit, at most a few communication soldiers on horseback to transmit messages......

Moreover, the artillery used by the artillery unit led by the Marquis de Lafayette was not an advanced field gun, and the quality was not much stronger than the six-pounder infantry field gun under Lin Haoda.

The real advanced artillery of the Paris region was destroyed as early as the street battles in Paris during the Revolution, and Lin Haoda admitted that the armed men who were brainwashed by the revolutionary slogans would rather destroy than fight the enemy, but it is precisely because of this toughness that there are not many artillery pieces in the Paris region......

Now that all the artillery factories in Paris have been bombed, it can be said that the army of the Paris region will face a long period of artillery shortage.

Perhaps the Marquis de Lafayette and the politicians sitting in the National Constituent Assembly, who did not understand military affairs, would have high hopes for the morale of the National Guard, believing that these French boys, who had joined the army for the revolutionary ideals of freedom and equality, would crush the ambitions of the reactionary warlord Lin Haoda, who was trying to restore the king's autocratic rule, under the leadership of the red, white and blue tricolor.

But Lin Haoda, who knows more about his French Foreign Legion, and many generals under his command, as long as they compare a little, they can see that the other party is not an order of magnitude opponent with himself at all!

Facing an opponent who is not an order of magnitude, it is natural to use the most secure tactics to directly press it so that the opponent cannot perform tricks, and can only choose a hard-fought duel is the right way.

The Marquis de Lafayette was also a military general, even though he was very confident in the fighting spirit of the National Guard, but he was also afraid of the strong combat effectiveness of the French Foreign Legion, and the fact that the city of Paris was occupied so quickly and did not consume the strength of the legions under Lin Haoda left a big psychological shadow on the Marquis de Lafayette.

Even before the start of the war, the Marquis de Lafayette was ready to run away at any time, and he kept one of the most elite troops in his hands as a general reserve, in fact, to use this force to cover himself and flee the battlefield when he was about to be defeated and collapsed!

Before leaving Versailles, the Marquis de Lafayette spent a high price to buy a good horse with very strong speed and endurance as his mount, in order to keep this 'running horse' in the best condition at all times, and let several servants take care of him along the way......

The Marquis of Lafayette really knew Lin Haoda's character too well, and he could think of it with the soles of his feet that he had no use value after the defeat, and if he was captured by Lin Haoda, his life would basically enter the countdown......

European white generals do not have the oriental style of "defeated generals, ten thousand deaths are difficult to redeem" concept, although surrender and run away damage to honor and heroic image, but it is not an unforgivable crime, Frederick the Great was also a deserter on the battlefield several times, after the defeat of Napoleon in history, it was not slow to run away......

Such a heroic character has no sense of resistance to running away, let alone other generals?

It is precisely because of the attitude of Westerners who regard flight and surrender as normal acts of war that European and American countries during World War II were deeply impressed and shouted a group of madmen after seeing the Japanese fighting style of not wanting to die......

In the Chinese battlefield during World War II, I didn't feel that there was anything wrong with Little Japan's way of fighting and not surrendering, this is the difference between the attitude of the East and the West towards war, this is not to say that the morale of the Eastern army is naturally higher than that of the Western army, but it is just that the punishment of the two sides for surrender is different.

The Marquis de Lafayette, who thought that his army was at a loss, naturally adopted a defensive position, and he chose a gentle slope as the defensive line of the central army, and a group of officers and soldiers of the National Guard, dressed in white-gray military uniforms and tricorne hats, lined up in a large horizontal phalanx on the slope of inconsistent height.

The artillery owned by the National Guard was dispersed to the commanding heights of the slopes to ensure that the artillery support of their own formations in most directions was maintained.

Since the National Guard did not have its own cavalry units, the Marquis de Lafayette placed more than 10,000 infantry guards on each flank, removing the general reserve controlled by his cronies, and leaving thousands of reservists to close the gap in the battle line.

The two wings of the National Guard line up in a diagonal manner, and if you look down on the overall formation of the National Guard from the sky, it is somewhat similar to the French Foreign Legion facing Lin Haoda in the shape of an inverted ladder.

Compared with the cautious and dense defensive formation of the National Guard, Lin Haoda's layout on this side is much bolder.

The 60,000 army was completely split by Lin Haoda, and the second and third infantry divisions were arranged by Lin Haoda on the two sides away from the main force in the middle, and these two infantry divisions were close to the direction of the middle army, which was the artillery unit arranged on the two wings of the middle army, and just arranged a company of six-pounder infantry field guns on the left and right wings, that is, four artillery, a total of eight six-pounder infantry field guns formed a cross-fire direction on the front defense line of the National Self-Defense Force in front of the two wings of the main force in the middle.

This can be a good way to avoid the main infantry after the attack, to avoid causing accidental damage to your own soldiers, even in the period when your main infantry is attacking in a dense line, the artillery arranged on the two wings can also keep firing and bombarding the National Self-Defense Army formation, killing and injuring the living force of the National Self-Defense, and hitting the enemy's morale!

The real main force of the French Foreign Legion in the middle is the 4th Infantry Division at the front, and the National Guard on the opposite side of the formation of the same offensive large horizontal formation, a total of six horizontal columns, ready to advance at any time.

Behind the 16,000 men of the 4th Infantry Division was 15,000 men of the 1st Infantry Division, which had formed several columns to attack the phalanx, and was to advance against the enemy shortly after the departure of the 4th Infantry Division as the decisive main force for the breakthrough.

In front of the 4th Infantry Regiment were light infantry battalions lined up in loose skirmish lines, and these hundreds of light infantry had a great deal of freedom as long as they kept a distance of no more than 100 meters from their own infantry lines when attacking.

Of course, under Lin Haoda's orders, they made it their top priority to protect their lives.

Because the role of light infantry is mainly to disturb the tight line of the National Guard, and to destroy their morale by killing the officers and soldiers of the National Guard, it can only play an auxiliary role on the battlefield, and most importantly, there are soldiers similar to light infantry in the sequence of the National Guard, they are scattered not far in front of their own defensive line, and when the main force of the French Foreign Legion infantry attacks, they will snipe and kill and wound enemy soldiers.

Light infantry tactics were played out as early as the Seven Years' War in Europe, and the National Guard naturally selected those with good marksmanship, and combined them with finely crafted flintlock pistols to form light infantry scattered in front of the private line.

The hussar troops, who were regarded by Lin Haoda as completely solving the enemy in this battle, were naturally also in the middle of the army, and they stayed behind the phalanx of the first regiment column, and after their own infantry crushed the morale of the National Guard, it was the golden time for these hussars to use their speed advantage to harvest their lives.

After all, the hussars belonged to the light cavalry, and they still used sabers instead of cavalry guns, and they had a poor breakthrough strength in the infantry array of this era, so they might as well be used to strangle the rout of the National Guard.

After the end of the battle, the number of enemy troops killed and wounded is also a large part of the historical smash point bonus.

When the two sides finished arraying, Lin Haoda rode on the white hairless war horse with a relaxed face.

"Hopefully, these National Guards will be able to fight like a man without cover."

Lin Haoda's ridicule immediately attracted the laughter of the surrounding generals, in the battle to occupy Paris, the National Guard transformed the Paris police and militia armament, the fighting morale is not as good as the armed citizens of Paris, under the reckless attack of the line infantry, it was even beaten out of the chain collapse in the street battle, so the French Foreign Legion, up to Lin Haoda down to the ordinary line infantry, are full of psychological advantages over the red, white and blue tricolor flag of the National Guard.

Even compared to the National Guard, who wore a uniform white and gray uniform, the ordinary line infantry was more afraid to fight against a group of French citizens in tattered clothes who did not want to charge in street battles!
