Chapter 46: The Power of the Army, XI
Rumble! Rumble!!!
The grenades of this era are filled with black powder with unsatisfactory explosive power, so the volume is very large, and the weight is not light at all, and the reason why the grenadiers want to choose tall men is because the grenades are too heavy and need strong men to throw enough distance!
Even with Arno's physical fitness, placing two extra-large grenades on his body does not affect the battle, and he is already on the verge of the limit......
However, two oversized grenades were thrown into the crowd, and they were enough to serve the purpose!
Arnold, who fell to the ground on one knee in a graceful arc, was suddenly filled with a bunch of unfriendly French after hearing two violent explosions!
"Kill him!!"
The main language of the soldiers under Lin Haoda's command is French, only the special spy Zhaoyun girl can speak French and Chinese, and Lin Haoda communicates with them in French on weekdays......
Thanks to Lin Haoda's body that crossed over, he was proficient in French and German, which saved him a lot of trouble......
However, the explosion disrupted the horizontal phalanx in the center, not to mention, the air wave generated by the explosion also made the vision here become foggy for a short time, and more importantly, when the explosion sounded, the National Guard, who was blocked in the city gate hole and was struggling to shoot, suddenly broke out into a burst of high cheers, and rushed into the city gate hole with bayonets!
The front line infantry phalanx was destroyed by the explosion, and only sporadic counterattacks remained, which made the morale of the National Guard soar!
However, Arno only destroyed the horizontal phalanx in front of him, and there were two cross-firing phalanxes diagonally facing each other on both sides of the city gate hole!
When the National Guard poured in, hundreds of people were immediately killed by a volley of cross-fire guns!
I have to admit that Arno's sudden appearance made the phalanx of line infantry no longer tight, and some people wanted to kill Arno, which affected the continuity of the phalanx's firepower!
The National Guard was also ruthless enough, when the first battalion head who entered the city gate hole was killed and wounded, the second and third battalion leaders crowded in regardless of casualties, and did not give the battalion leaders in front a chance to retreat at all!
The line infantry on the wall no longer had the heart to care about Arno's advance, and they all shot at the National Guard who rushed in taking advantage of the chaos created by Arno!
In this kind of close-quarters melee, Arno is undoubtedly the king of battle, a razor-sharp sword, a sinister and tricky hidden blade, has become Arno's best harvesting machine, breaking through the crowd of line infantry, making them afraid to shoot each other, and then launched a whirlwind of killing!
Arno's killing further reduced the firepower of the platoon guns blocking the city gate, and the National Guard, after paying a lot of casualties, finally survived the opportunity to engage the line infantry!
However, the line infantry was the backbone of the army, and bayonet hand-to-hand combat was an inevitable item for them to face when fighting!
Under the shouts of the officers of the line infantry, the line infantry who had been shortened one by one pulled out their bayonets and inserted them into the head of their guns with a click, and rushed head-on to the National Guard who were pouring into the city gate hole in a dense array of bayonets!
The white and blue uniforms collided violently, bringing out patches of blood, and I don't know how many people were pierced in the chest by the opponent's bayonet under the first round of impact!
This is the brutality of hand-to-hand bayonet combat, bayonet weapons that focus on attack and ignore defense, are extremely sharp when attacking, and can easily penetrate the enemy's body with momentum, but have little effect when protecting one's body......
This creates a fait accompli, and when both sides hedge against each other in a row of bayonets, they often accomplish a feat that ends together......
This is also the reason for the large number of casualties in hand-to-hand combat with bayonets. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
After the bayonet hand-to-hand combat between the two sides, the inside of the Bastille soon fell into a melee between you and me, and with the influx of the reserves of the National Guard and some armed citizens of Paris who followed suit, many of the National Guard and the armed citizens of Paris climbed the stone ladder up the fence and killed the line infantry with black guns on it!
Arno looked at this battle situation, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but draw a grim smile, his goal had been achieved, the main force of the National Guard had completely attacked, and his disciple's hatred would soon be retaliated!
Just as Arno was fighting between the line infantry in the melee, suddenly two feathered arrows shot at Arno one after the other!
Arno didn't find the sneak attacker who shot the arrows at all, if it weren't for his crisis perception beyond ordinary people, I'm afraid he would have turned into a corpse!
Arnold, who had dodged over, slid his index finger down his cheek, looking at the blood stains on his fingers, and his face couldn't help but flash with anger!
Unfortunately, the archers were so cunning that Arno couldn't find the sneak attackers in the crowd!
The other party is obviously also a master of concealment, and he is also a master of using arrows!
Arno was in the melee, he couldn't look for it with all his strength, and was soon dragged into the battle group by the line infantry, the other party's rhythm was very good, when Arno was fighting with the line infantry with all his strength, the angle of the three consecutive feather arrows shot at Arno's vital point even more tricky, as if to block all his retreats!
This time, Arno couldn't dodge it all, and was shot hard in the left arm and shoulder!
After seeing Arnold's arrow, Zhaoyun no longer hid his figure, and quickly bent his bow and arrows again, and shot arrows one after another at the injured Arnold!
However, Arnold, knowing where the arrows came from, showed his pride as a master assassin by dancing with a sword that sent out a wave of phantoms, blocking all the arrows that were coming!
It's just that under the full force of the battle, the wound on his left shoulder can't help but tear further, and Arno knows very well that he can't continue to consume!
He glanced at Zhaoyun with deep eyes, and his figure flashed into the crowd of armed citizens of Paris who rushed in, and rushed out of the city gate hole against the current!
Zhaoyun wanted to pursue, but was intercepted by a group of crazy armed citizens of Paris, and Zhaoyun, who drew his melee weapon, killed more than a dozen armed citizens of Paris and emptied the surrounding open space, Arno who had disappeared into the crowd long since disappearing......
"Damn! This cunning gutter rat will run away immediately if he is slightly injured, and it will be difficult to catch his traces again......" Zhaoyun blamed himself with some chagrin, looking at the armed citizens of Paris who were afraid to approach him not far away, and rushed forward with a sharp knife in his hand!
This kind of melee is Arnold's paradise, and naturally it is also a place for assassins like Zhaoyun to show their strengths, but a single manpower is limited after all, Zhaoyun has killed dozens of people, and his physical consumption is close to the limit, so he has to retreat silently, in front of the army, the super strong personal force also seems so thin!
