Puff puff......

The sound of a series of small iron pellets penetrating the human body came, and with the dense unified row of guns on the city tower, not to mention the armed citizens who were heroic with gunpowder kegs to rush up to blow up the wall, along with the musketeers on the edge, they were also beaten into flesh and blood gourds!

The lethality of the grapeballs in front of the dense crowd suddenly shocked the fanatical armed citizens, allowing them to temporarily regain their senses, everyone looked at the group of compatriots who fell neatly in front of them, and stopped this meaningless act of sending them to death in time, anyone with a discerning eye can see that as long as the other party has enough grapeshot, how many people can't fill this bottomless pit!

"Cannon! We need artillery! Suddenly there was a shout from the crowd, and it didn't take long for these armed citizens, who had robbed almost the whole of Paris, to bring in some outdated old bronze cannons!

Immediately, the armed citizens could not help but face an awkward question - who would open fire?

These cannons are old, rusty, like antiques from hundreds of years ago, and if you want to serve these guys well, you can't just use them......

However, the armed citizens are amateurs, but they have a large population base, and soon, a liquor seller named Sean came to the cannons and began to tinker with these dilapidated antiques!

Not to mention, these old cannons were really fired by armed citizens!

One old cannon after another roared, even though they were long behind their time, but they were still worthy of the name, and they could still smash some brick and stone shards into the walls of the Bastille......

However, even if the armed citizens pushed their artillery closer to the Bastille wall, they could not control the target. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Not even the soldiers guarding the Bastille could put an effective psychological strain on them!

The solid bullets that smashed on the wall from east to west couldn't hit the guards at all!

Scattered solid projectiles cannot do effective damage against thick walls......

Standing on the commanding heights of security, Lin Haoda also found a good system auxiliary function when observing the battlefield.

He was able to see the approximate morale of the line infantry on top of the company-based infantry.

It was a green, not full bar, and it was on top of each company's head, but if two companies were combined to fight together, the morale bar would merge together!

There are also a few words of identification under the green bar for Lin Haoda's reference, which are displayed at the bottom of Lin Haoda's retina, and any army within his field of vision can be queried!

For example, the morale of the company guarding the city gate is shown under the long bar - local numerical superiority, high fighting spirit, abundant physical strength, cover bonus, courage and encouragement of the nearby commander, and the advantage of fire suppression against the enemy.

These factors are the conditions that affect morale, and they are also the reason why the infantry in the line maintains the morale of the green stripe, and as for the local numerical superiority, it does not refer to the comparison with the armed citizens on the opposite side, but the numerical superiority around the soldiers.

The reason why this article is placed in the first place shows that it has a very large impact on morale, but only when it is surrounded and hand-to-hand combat with hand-to-hand bayonets, the premise of local numerical superiority will be broken......

In the prompt of the all-out war system, the local numerical superiority has a great impact on the morale of the army, except for a few elite arms, maintaining the local numerical superiority is the key point to maintain the morale of the army, and the other conditions are only bonuses on the basis of morale.

After witnessing the intensive fire and grapegre slaughter of Lin Haoda's soldiers, the armed citizens no longer rushed up to water the moat of the Bastille with blood, but expected that the old artillery could smash the gates of the Bastille or make a hole in the thick wall......

This was undoubtedly advantageous to Lin Haoda, and the soldiers on the tower battery were once again replaced with abundant solid bullets, and there was not a single round of bombardment at the positions of the armed citizens, and the hit rate was worse than that of the artillery of the armed citizens......

As for suppressing the enemy's artillery, it is something that only professional artillerymen can do, not to mention, the opponent's artillery does not exceed two digits, and it is also very scattered......

The two sides shot at each other for more than an hour, and they had a low-intensity confrontation!

In addition to the exchange of artillery, the armed citizens also hid in the buildings outside the Bastille, relying on cover to shoot at the soldiers in the Bastille......

Of course, the armed citizens who no longer charge and attack have also reduced the killing efficiency of Lin Haoda's soldiers to the freezing point, except for the artillery with an ultra-long effective range that can occasionally be lucky to make a bloody path in the armed citizen group, it is no longer as good as before, and a large number of corpses can be produced every minute like before!

By this time, the number of killed civilians had already exceeded the four-digit mark, and the number of casualties inflicted on the guards in the Bastille was less than two digits!

The disparity in casualty ratio is evident!

This is the price paid by a rabble who, by sheer courage, attacked a group of regular troops who were determined to fight, hid in a fortified fortress, and had the superiority of artillery!

The storming of the Bastille had begun for more than an hour, and thousands of casualties had been paid, but nothing had been gained!

Just when the armed citizens were anxious, expecting the artillery to suddenly make a bold opening in the Bastille wall, a group of National Guard soldiers wearing white uniforms, red, white and blue flags, and boat-shaped three-cornered hats with red, white and blue cockades arrived at the perimeter of the Bastille in a marching column!

The reason why the cap badge and flag of the National Guard use red, white and blue is mainly to distinguish it from the French royal army, which also wears white military uniforms, and the cockades of the caps they wear are also white......

This is also because the National Self-Defense Forces were formed in a hurry, however, it only took one day and one night to organize the National Self-Defense Forces according to the regular army and drive them to the battlefield in whole teams......

Among the reinforcements of the National Guard, what Lin Haoda cared about the most was that they brought in 5 of the latest large-caliber siege field guns!
