Chapter 36: The Power of the Army I
Mayar, dressed in a military uniform, looked up and down at the four men in front of him wearing gray jackets, boots, and hoods, and asked with a skeptical expression, "Can you four lower the drawbridge?" ”
Mayal didn't understand why the bigwigs of the Standing Committee had sent four men and told them to open the Bastille's heavily guarded drawbridge!
If it weren't for the commander-in-chief of the National Guard, Lafait, who had personally instructed him, he would have wanted to send these four indifferent and cool men to work as porters!
As for the rumors of the Assassin Brotherhood, Mayar said that he didn't believe it at all, what age is this, and he still plays knightly personal heroism?
But don't believe it or not, with the order from above, just cooperate with these four people to launch a small-scale feint, it's still no problem, succeeding is the first credit, and failing is also the order of the superiors, anyway, he Mayar doesn't have to pay too much responsibility, of course, he can't beat the Bastille, and he Mayar can't eat well after the autumn!
Therefore, Mayar still has a trace of luck in his heart, what if the other party can really open the suspension bridge of the Bastille?
"As long as you cooperate with the four of us in our assault on the gates of the Bastille, we can lower the drawbridge. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
In the light and unremarkable declarative sentence, it seems to be expounding a fait accompli, but it sets off the strong self-confidence in his heart!
Mayar nodded: "Okay, I will fully cooperate with the four of you, I hope not to disappoint me, when do you need me to give the order to attack?" ”
"Now."
The corners of Mayal's mouth twitched, and he glanced deeply at the man named Arno Victor Dorian, who was at the head: "Hehe, very good. ”
Immediately afterwards, Mayal shouted behind him: "Herald, tell the people below to prepare to attack the Bastille gates!" ”
When Arno Victor Dorian saw the armed citizens of Paris and the National Guard in action, he and his three men left Mayar, blended into the crowd, and rushed to the fortified Bastille!
In the temporary combat command room where Lin Haoda was, a soldier suddenly broke into and reported loudly: "The revolutionary army outside has launched an attack again, and the attack point is at the city gate drawbridge!" ”
"According to the previous subordinates, let us continue to teach these self-defeating Parisian mud legs what is called massacre." Lin Haoda ordered with a smile.
The officers were then quickly returned to their units, all of whom were the commanders of the companies, and even if they were not with the soldiers, the companies were commanded by the lieutenant adjutants, who could ensure that the ranks would not be attacked by surprise and cause confusion.
Lin Haoda came to the commanding heights of safety again, followed by ten killer guards and Zhaoyun beautiful assassins.
Lin Haoda, who held the binoculars flat, looked at the armed citizens of Paris charging under the shelling and musket salvos, and the boring tactics that were no different from the usual, and he couldn't help but feel a hint of alarm in his heart.
In the battle on the 14th, the armed citizens of Paris had already dropped countless corpses with this brainless charge, and this time they used this tactic, obviously not because they felt that they were too numerous and continued to send them to death......
If it were an all-out attack, the opponent would have an advantage of tens of thousands of troops, and it would be impossible to attack only the drawbridge gate of the Bastille!
This meaningless tactic of adding fuel to the fire, even if the armed citizens of Paris can't see it, it is impossible for the commanders of the revolutionary army behind them not to know it!
However, Lin Haoda thought about the thousands of troops who were transferred to the city gate, and his heart was much more stable, with thousands of regular troops relying on the strong walls of the Bastille, the probability of defeat was too small!
Under the walls of the Bastille gates, the armed citizens of Paris, led by flag-waving little leaders, jogged forward with all kinds of weapons and shouting slogans of freedom!
In front of them was a trench 25 meters wide, and even though there was a ground protrusion at the drawbridge, it was more than 10 meters wide at the nearest point of the city gate drawbridge!
"Onward! Advance! Destroy the king's lackeys! ”
Armed Parisian citizens who rushed to the front of the trench opened fire with muskets at the blue-uniformed soldiers hiding behind the walls and the towers of the city gates, crackling the hard walls......
And the return fire of the blue-uniformed soldiers on the wall caused a large number of casualties to the armed citizens of Paris!
Boom Boom Boom ......
A cannon arranged in the turret of the tower condescendingly sprayed a large number of grapeshot bullets, pears the crowded crowd of armed citizens of Paris out of the bloody road!
After the grapeshot bomb raged, the morale of the armed citizens of Paris was suddenly shaken, and in the battle on the 14th, the armed citizens of Paris were crushed in the ground of musket salvos and grapeshot shots!
In the midst of the crowd, four men in mediocre clothes quickly pushed away the crowd in front of them and rushed to the drawbridge of the Bastille.
This behavior was perfectly covered by the chaotic battlefield environment and the white mist rising from the eruption of muskets, except for the occasional curse from the armed citizens of Paris who were pushed away, neither the blue soldiers in uniform who were fully loaded and shooting with all their strength nor the armed citizens of Paris who were suffering unilateral killings were not aware of these four men who behaved abnormally!
Even Mayal, who had been keeping an eye on the four men with a telescope, lost their fast-moving figure after he inserted into the crowd!
"These four people are quite nimble with their hands and feet, and they have disappeared into the crowd so quickly, which is in line with the name of assassins." Mayal muttered under his breath, turning his gaze to the general situation.
He had a scale in his heart, and when the casualties reached a certain level, he ordered a retreat, so that the morale of the armed citizens of Paris would not be crushed by the heavy casualties!
At that moment, four figures suddenly jumped up and jumped towards the suspension bridge where the Bastille was closed!
With a distance of ten meters wide, it is impossible to jump over it by manpower alone, not to mention that there is no landing place on the opposite side at all, only cliffs!
This kind of jump will only break you to pieces!
However, the moment these four figures jumped out, the four ropes flew out, and the sharp part of the front part of the rope firmly locked the battlement above the city gate, and these four figures used their strength to throw directly to the cliff next to the suspension bridge, and used their hands and feet to stabilize their bodies with stone cracks, and quickly climbed up!
Lin Haoda, who had been looking at the direction of the suspension bridge, couldn't help but rub his eyes and looked at it again in disbelief!
couldn't help but complain: "Is this Nima a monkey or a human?" Are you fully stocked up with climbing skill points?! ”
The dexterous posture of these four figures like a catwalk also attracted the attention of the armed citizens of Paris around the drawbridge, and many people were shocked by the four of them, and their eyes moved up with their figures!
