Chapter 29: The Battle of the Bastille V

Bang bang bang ~~~

"Ready! Fire!!! ”

Bang bang bang......

The horizontal line composed of about 500 people has been filled with a thick white fog in the sky, and the National Self-Guard, which has rushed to a distance of 20 meters and suffered heavy casualties, has once again ushered in a wave of lead bullet baptism!

A few soldiers of the National Guard who rushed behind, after seeing their fallen colleagues in front of them, their eyes were full of horror, and they couldn't take a step forward no matter what, so they turned around and retreated!

The scattered National Guard Force's charging sequence, which had been shot by a platoon, suddenly appeared like the wind and dozens of people retreated!

After firing the last volley, the soldiers who had blocked the National Guard inserted their bayonets and shouted in unison at the remaining National Guard soldiers, who had not retreated. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

As soon as the two sides took over, the number of people had already fled in friendly forces, and the National Guard, which was partially less than the intercepting soldiers under the baptism of lead bullets, was quickly defeated!

The first bayonet charge launched by the National Guard in a hurry was defeated in disarray when more than half of the vanguard battalion was lost!

The National Guard, overestimating the morale of their own soldiers or underestimating the discipline of the Bastille soldiers, launched a bayonet charge at the tight horizontal line of guns from a distance of 100 meters!

As a result, he endured several rounds of neat platoon guns!

Under the three-stage shooting, the line infantry can fire 4 or 5 rounds of neat rows of guns in one minute, and you can imagine how much damage the National Guard in the charge has endured!

After all, the National Guard is only a paramilitary organization, not the elite of the regular army who regards death as home, nor is it a savage and ferocious old soldier who pays attention to bayonet charging hand-to-hand combat!

It is not surprising that Lin Haoda's soldiers were defeated by several rounds of guns and a bayonet counterattack......

The main force of the National Guard, which was defeated in the first wave of the attack, fell into a brief period of confusion, and it seemed that the other side wanted to reorganize the second round of the attack and could not complete it in a short time......

When Casio saw that his subordinates had achieved the expected results, he smiled contemptuously at the National Guard and the red, white and blue tricolor flags in the distance: "The people's armament, that's all. ”

Casio reinserted the command knife in his hand into the scabbard and shouted to the heralds: "After the powder keg is arranged, all retreat!" ”

Casio knows that his own forces are limited, and the advantage of the battle situation at this time is only by virtue of the bravery and suddenness of his own soldiers, although the combat quality and reaction speed of the armed citizens of Paris are extremely poor, but the National Guard can still react when he is given a period of time, and the failure of the first wave of attacks before is just that the National Guard is too urgent, and directly charges in the face of his own superior gun firepower.

Without the morale bonus of the collective formation, who in all of Europe, except for Lao Maozi, would dare to launch a 100-meter bayonet charge in front of the regular army's dense row of guns?

Presumably, the commander of the National Guard will soon understand that the next time it will be a serious platoon of guns, and the column will come over!

His own troops are too small, and frontal field shooting is very unfavorable, and Casio has no intention of fighting the National Guard here.

After placing the powder kegs around the five nailed cannons, the last soldiers quickly left the high-risk blast site by igniting the black powder fuses with lighters.

Mayal, who was adjusting the offensive formation, suddenly heard explosions coming from the artillery position not far away!

Mayal's face was gloomy as if it could drip ice water, and his eyes reflected the burning fire and the blue-uniformed soldiers who were evacuating in the direction of the Bastille, and he couldn't help but clench the gentleman's sword with the ribbon in his hand.

However, this time Mayar did not get angry again, because he knew very well that no matter how much he scolded at this time, it was useless, and the combat effectiveness of the other party was obvious to all, not to mention the armed citizens of Paris who had not yet come to their senses, and even the soldiers of the National Guard who had just been defeated had not regrouped, and Mayar had nothing to do but watch the Bastille defenders flee back to the fortress......

On the other hand, Lin Haoda, who was on the commanding heights of the Bastille Tower, put down the telescope that was concerned about the battle situation with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

What else did he need to worry about when an artillery position that posed a huge threat to the Bastille was easily destroyed?

Casio. Thunder has confirmed a problem, as long as he is willing to pay the price, he can completely destroy the opponent's artillery position with a quick attack!

If this tactic succeeds once, there will naturally be a second and third!

Unless the armed citizens of Paris and the National Guard are transformed into an elite like the King's Guard!

If you want to bombard the Bastille openly, the artillery must be placed in a relatively open field of view, and not too far away, otherwise the power of the cannon will be severely weakened!

Don't look at the countless armed citizens of Paris outside, but the people who can be deployed in front of the artillery positions to defend are only a few thousand, and how bad the thousands of armed citizens of Paris performed under the sudden blow before, presumably the commander of the revolutionary army also saw it!

As the flames rose from the artillery positions, the fighting morale of the armed citizens of Paris and the National Guard also disappeared as if they were blown away......

Mayar looked at the gloomy faces of the soldiers beside him, and sighed helplessly in his heart, this time the scrapping of the raid cannon of the Bastille defenders is not the most difficult, and the blow to the combat morale of his own revolutionary army is the most severe at present!

With the existence of this 'glorious record' of the artillery position under the protection of thousands of men being broken through and destroyed by more than 1,000 people of the other side, if the attack on the Bastille is abandoned, will it not tell the whole of France that the National Guard and the People's Armed Forces are vulnerable even if they are ten times larger than the King's army?

This is a very serious political disadvantage!

As long as those nobles who are committed to the royal autocracy grasp this and do not relax, no matter how weak Louis XVI is, France may face an endless civil war!

At this time, there were still many troops who were sincerely loyal to King Louis XVI, and the bigwigs of the Standing Committee knew very well that they could take power from the king and nobles, but they could not completely bring down the king and nobles.

At the same time, the people's fighting faith will be added to the slightest doubt of victory, in which any doubt of faith is fatal, and how much resistance can the people's armed forces without the fighting faith have compared to the well-trained king's army?

Whatever the cost, the Bastille must be taken!
