Chapter 49: Depression After Passion

The new force of the line infantry warrior regiment in black uniforms was like a kitchen knife piercing into the cake, shattering the last morale of the revolutionary army!

The morale was higher than that of the line infantry, the ability to fight with bayonets and the physical strength that had been accumulated all the time, so that the assault force of more than 100 twisted into a rope began from above the wall and dispersed the weak National Guard and the armed citizens of Paris.

The line infantry who received support saw their own elite defeat of the revolutionary army like a bamboo, and their spirits were greatly lifted, and they shouted to kill the enemy and followed closely behind the line infantry warrior group, gradually expanding their advantage like a snowball!

In the eyes of the Standing Committee in charge of the town hall, the siege of the Bastille was exploited by tens of thousands of armed citizens of Paris who were full of revolutionary enthusiasm, and there was no need to send too many not too many not too many well-off National Guards to attack.

However, in order to ensure the fierce momentum of the previous offensive and to ensure that there would be no repeat of the mistakes of the armed citizens of Paris, these thousands of National Guards were arranged in the front, and were killed and wounded by lead bullets in the previous attack, and then the first units to fight the line infantry in hand-to-hand combat, and suffered great losses.

Thus, after an hour of fierce fighting, the number of armed citizens of Paris, the revolutionary army component stranded in the Bastille, has surpassed the number of the National Guard!

Coupled with the tragic loss of life brought about by the long-term fierce hand-to-hand combat, the people of Paris retreated, and the strong insertion of the line infantry warrior regiment was like the last straw that crushed the camel's camel, and a large number of armed citizens of Paris saw the fierce black uniformed soldiers, with a large number of blue uniformed soldiers to disperse the blocking revolutionary army, and began to retreat uncontrollably!

The essence of the rabble is vividly embodied at this moment, and although the brainwashing ideology of the national revolution is powerful, it lacks the necessary military structure as the backbone support, and this revolutionary blood comes and goes quickly!

When the thirst for life of the armed citizens trumped the devotion to the revolution, collapse became the dominant trend!

In the unorganized revolutionary army, there was no large number of middle- and lower-level officers to suppress and stabilize this panic, and a large number of spontaneously organized armed citizens of Paris did not have an instinctive fear of military discipline in their hearts, and there was no psychological pressure to flee for their lives......

Many armed citizens comforted their cowardice with thoughts such as 'stay in the green mountains, don't worry about running out of firewood', and swore in their hearts that they would continue to uphold the revolutionary faith after fleeing back, unless the government cut taxes and lowered prices......

Citizens with strong revolutionary convictions are so worried, let alone armed citizens who are just joining in the fun?

The collapse spread rapidly among the revolutionary army that entered the Bastille for a fierce battle, and the few remaining soldiers of the National Guard, having lost the help of the armed citizens of Paris, were simply unable to resist the more experienced line infantry, and under the effect of the herd mentality, they also fled backwards!

A small number of revolutionary recalcitrant elements were surrounded and killed by the absolute superiority of the line infantry!

The collapse of the army is a phenomenon that cannot be measured by common sense, and you can never be sure where the bottom line of the human heart is, just like the British Redwoods Army that fought all over the world in history, they could walk to a distance of 30 meters under lead bullets and artillery fire without changing their faces, but when the Great Revolution broke out in India, there was a 'glorious record' of being chased and killed by the three Indian soldiers who were notoriously weak in combat......

Or the kind of battle where the numbers are not at a disadvantage!

Different environments and unpredictable soldiers' mentality make war full of unpredictability, especially for those troops with insufficient military training and a mess of discipline, they can be the ones who create miracles, and they can also be the ones who defeat and make commanders worse......

Mayar stared blankly at the soldiers of the Revolutionary Army who had been defeated from the Bastille, including the National Guard soldiers in white uniforms, but more often than not, the armed citizens of Paris in ragged robes of various linens!

These people obviously still have a numerical advantage, and the reinforcements behind can even shoot unequally at the line infantry on the perimeter of the drawbridge and be as steady as Mount Tai!

However, when the frenzy of defeat inside the Bastille emerged from the gates, the armed citizens of Paris, who had been able to shoot at the Bastille defenders outside the drawbridge, turned around and fled without thinking......

There was not a trace of nostalgia, let alone a trace of guilt for the defeat of the revolutionary battle!!

The rout and panicked crowd even had a large number of trampling incidents, and there were countless unlucky people who were squeezed off the drawbridge and fell into the trench and became human meat pies......

Mayal's face twitched unnaturally as he watched the overwhelming rout of the revolutionary army, and felt that the whole world had become dark......

What broke his heart the most was that the number of people who were trampled to death by their compatriots far exceeded the number of people killed by the Bastille guards......

The crowded and confined space undoubtedly provides a good venue for trampling to death......

Casio naturally did not miss the opportunity to beat the water dogs, and under the leadership of the line infantry warriors, the main force of the line infantry closely followed the revolutionary army to rush out of the Bastille, step on the drawbridge, and kill the revolutionary army's position!

First of all, the revolutionary army still had an artillery position without firing a single shot, and this time they did not hold out until the last moment, as their former colleagues did, and when the rout frenzy swept in, almost all the guards and artillerymen were familiar with the crowd and became an inconspicuous deserter......

If it weren't for the fact that the officers of the revolutionary army who managed the artillery still had the brains to know that they destroyed these guns before leaving, perhaps Lin Haoda's line infantry would have used field artillery......

Mayar and his officers did their best to reluctantly organize a front in their own camp to intercept the defeated crowd, but unfortunately, Mayar's previous battle had sent all the reserves up, and the only fresh force that could organize the front was more than a hundred personal guards and scattered guards.

It's not enough to even act as a queen troop!

Before Mayar could reorganize his position, the line infantry warriors who followed him came up with a large number of line infantry with bayonets!

After more than ten minutes of stabbing between the two sides, it was no surprise that Mayar's men were once again routed......

The defeated Mayar knew that there would be no more formed National Guard forces behind him to form a new line of defense, and there were quite a few armed citizens of Paris, but could those people have any role other than to make the scale of the rout more spectacular?
