In the era of black powder, in order to increase the lethality of grenades, the only way to increase the charge is to increase the amount of grenades, which is why grenades are made very large, and tall and strong soldiers must be selected to throw!

A large iron ball of grenades, the size of a cannonball, was not a good treatment to be smashed on the human body, and before the grenade exploded, a scream rang out in the dense array of guns of the National Guard. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Boom Boom Boom ......

A series of explosive fires followed, and pieces of iron scattered in all directions, like the scythe of death to harvest life, swept away the dense National Guard soldiers!

The most terrible thing is that the grenadier officer, who saw that the line of the National Guard did not completely collapse, decisively shouted again: "Prepare ~ throw!! ”

Another big iron ball fell from the sky, and the surviving National Guard couldn't help but feel hopeless......

Boom Boom Boom ......

The bombed soldiers of the National Guard, who were dazed, could no longer care about the orders of the officers, and began to flee backwards, and the stupid fork had to stay here to be bombed!

This is the normal logical reasoning of a person, however, for the individual it is the life-saving instinct, but for the army as a whole this is the beginning of a catastrophe!

Looking at the National Guard front, which was thrown with two rounds of grenades and exploded a large number of routs, the officers of all ranks in the grenadier vanguard regiment wasted no time in shouting: "Grenadier, get on the bayonet, advance!! ”

The grenadiers, holding flintlock muskets with bayonets inserted, shouted and crowded together, lined up with dense snow-white blades, and stabbed into the National Guard front, which was already in chaos and full of gaps!

The main front of the National Guard, which was blown down by grenades, even if there were far more troops than the remaining grenadiers, became like tofu and easily pierced by the grenadier vanguard regiment!

This is the reason why the European countries are keen to form grenadiers during the period of queuing to shoot, it is really that the offensive strength of grenades with bayonet charges is too strong, as long as the grenadiers can hold up and throw grenades within 20 steps, no infantry on the battle line can resist this level of attack!

After hand-to-hand combat, the indomitable grenadiers gave full play to their advantage of being tall and strong, and killed the National Guard, whose morale had already dropped, to the point of crying and crying mother......

In the huge main camp of the National Guard, it is naturally impossible to have only one front, but the grenadiers can drive these demoralized National Guard troops to the next front!

Facing the second line organized by the officers of the National Guard, under the cover of the rout, the grenadiers easily came to a distance of 20 paces from the opponent, and this time, although the formation was not in place due to the charge, the grenadiers still threw a large number of original grenades towards the opponent facing their own crowds!

Due to the insufficient density of grenades, the second line of defense did not collapse as quickly as the first line of defense, but then the grenadiers who rushed in with bayonets really let these National Guard soldiers know what a real war is!

Just as the grenadiers were attacking the second line of the National Guard, a large number of follow-up line infantry also joined the killing feast with bayonets and flintlock pistols, and followed the path opened by the grenadiers to attack the interior of the camp of the main force of the National Guard!

The shortcomings of the National Guard's lack of training were magnified in the darkness, and the collapsed National Guard soldiers could not see an organization to rely on, either fleeing the battlefield or wandering around like headless flies......

The darkness of the night greatly limited the soldiers' visual distance, and even if there was torch lighting, they could not see the flags and military formations hundreds of meters away!

Many soldiers couldn't even find their way in the panic......

This is the reason why in the era of cold weapons and in modern warfare, army commanders are often reluctant to fight at night, in case of defeat, the difficulty of collecting the rout is at least ten times higher than during the day!

The chaotic battlefield was filled with gunsmoke and the roar of muskets, and even if the officers shouted through their throats, how many people could hear them?

In this modern system of warfare, which focuses on collective strength and queues, the ability and willpower of soldiers to fight alone are very weak.

The dominant side is difficult to break up its own forces and can fight in a group consistently, but the side that occupies the disadvantage, the scattered troops, really want to regroup, unless the attacker gives up the continuous charge!

Obviously, Lin Haoda, who is in a desperate state, will only press all his family resources into this night battle without any hesitation!

All the forces in the Bastille, with the exception of his immediate personal guard, the Infantry Warriors, numbered no more than 100 men, were drawn out to participate in the attack, and a large number of line infantry swarmed down the passage where the grenadiers fought with blood, and stabbed into the heart of the main force of the National Guard, causing even greater chaos and killing!

The hussar squad, which was used as a herald, was also sent out, and when the attention of the main force of the National Guard was attracted by the powerful attack of the grenadiers, they flanked the main camp of the National Guard in panic, dispersed the soldiers of the National Guard who were supporting the center, and killed people and set fire to the camp, creating a scene of impending disaster!

Although this cavalry team had only a few dozen people, its ability to quickly maneuver and destroy was very effective in the night, and they succeeded in setting fire to nearly half of the main camp of the National Guard at a slight cost......

In a time when victory is in sight, it is easy for humans to become brave warriors who take the lead, but in the tragic situation where defeat is certain, soldiers think more about how to save their own lives, even if this defeat is only superficial!

Even though the main force of the National Guard has more than 10,000 troops and is supported by countless armed citizens, they have not made up for the shortcomings of their paramilitary organization, and at this time of chaos, the overall rout is rapidly forming, and the influx of a large number of line infantry has made the battle take place throughout the main camp of the National Guard.

Fear is the beginning of failure!

However, the officers and generals of the National Guard were unwilling to be so defeated, and were still trying to redeem the defeat at any cost, and the armed citizens around them also rushed over in a chaotic manner, and this night was destined to be stained red with blood!
