Colonel Rogers naturally refused to be willing to be so defeated, although he had already arranged the retreat of defeat, but victory was the greatest gain for him, once this battle was won...... Even if it was a tie, Colonel Rogers, who was in full command, could step into the position of general with great prestige and become a truly decisive hero in the revolutionary army of Marseille.

If it works well, it is not impossible to have even the prestige of the Marquis de Lafayette during the French Revolution!

Isn't that the ultimate goal of every revolutionary leader?

In order to save the defeat, Colonel Rogers desperately continued to invest in new 'new forces', and those young men who should have been in the logistics team were temporarily organized and put into the battlefield with rudimentary weapons.

Colonel Rogers went to the women's camp in person, and in a short but inspiring speech called for a women's volunteer unit, and these French women went into battle with washboards, sticks, black bread, dung forks, stones, and all kinds of strange weapons unimaginable......

In the 21st century, Colonel Rogers will inevitably be labeled as a man who does not respect the status and rights of women, and will be sprayed by feminists of all stripes, because this is not for French women to fight, but for them to commit suicide......

However, in this period of the French Revolution, when the whole people were revolutionary, no one dared to criticize Colonel Rogers's actions, and the revolution was the cause of all mankind, and women were not human beings.

It's not that men are not brave, but that men have entered the battlefield, and in order to win, everyone must contribute their due strength, otherwise it will be a mutinous revolution!

Freedom, equality, fraternity, or die! Translated, if you don't revolution, you should die!

Of course, many of these French women, husbands, sons and even fathers, were fighting on the front line, and they naturally had no reason to stay in the rear, and groups of crisp and melodious Marseillaise songs appeared on the battlefield, and then directly faced a group of cuirassiers who had just broken through and tore the main force of the Marseille revolutionary army......

The grassroots commander of the cuirassiers, who was covered in gunsmoke and blood, gasped, looked at this group of 'female volunteers' through the gap in the steel helmet, and raised his swords again without hesitation, pointing at this group of women's volunteers.

"The men of Marseille are a bunch of garbage, they actually let women go to war, they are at the end of their rope, let's tell the mud-legged men of Marseille that women are also unforgiven on the battlefield, cuirassiers, advance !!"

In the hoarse advance, the cuirassiers who had adjusted their direction raised their horse's hooves again, and this group of cuirassiers only had a few hundred people, and they crashed into the women's volunteer team ten times their size.

"Long live the regent!!"

In the midst of the shouts of hooray, the cuirassier commander who had rushed to the front swung his saber lightly, and a head with long hair flew up with a frightened and horrified gaze, and it was clear that these French women were far less brave than their husbands, sons, and fathers.

At the moment they stepped into the battlefield, they experienced first-hand how terrible war between men is, and this should not be the place for them to set foot, especially in hand-to-hand combat!

Colonel Rogers watched as the thousands of female volunteers were crushed by hundreds of cuirassiers in two rounds, and couldn't help but curse: "Damn, can't they hold out for ten more minutes?!" ”

At this time, the battlefield was completely in chaos, and the addition of the women's volunteer team not only did not buy much time for the Marseille Revolutionary Army to form a team, but only increased the trend of this chaos.

The frantic fighting mode of the Young Guards, the repeated onslaught of the cuirassiers, and the non-stop bombardment of hundreds of artillery pieces, even the tenacious and willed Marseille revolutionary army could not resist.

The Marseillaise has stopped singing at some point, and only the simplest shouts of 'for freedom, for honor, kill the enemy' and so on are left on the battlefield, and more soldiers have stopped their meaningless shouts in order to recover their strength as much as possible, and are desperately fighting for survival or the victory of the revolution!

The combat resilience of the Maasai Revolutionary Army made Lin Haoda feel extra tricky, in the face of such a huge disadvantage, the Maasai Revolutionary Army was only suppressed and slowly retreated, instead of breaking up collectively!

Colonel Rogers stayed until about 4 p.m., when he reluctantly gave up the inevitable defeat and fled the battlefield with his henchmen.

An hour after Colonel Rogers fled, the Marseille Revolutionary Army, which had long been determined to be invincible, stopped its resistance on all fronts and surrendered or fled physically and mentally.

The hussar troops did not enter the battlefield until this time and began to pursue the remnants of the enemy, the cuirassier troops had already exhausted themselves and withdrew from the battle sequence to rest, and the young guards also had no physical strength to pursue, so they could only clean up the battlefield and accept prisoners.

However, because the Young Guards lost too many comrades-in-arms, with the deliberate connivance of Lin Haoda, they brutally tortured and killed the prisoners of war of the Maasai Revolutionary Army, and even carried out collective pit killing without the orders of their superiors.

The remnants of the revolutionaries, who had lost their fighting strength and whose weapons had been confiscated, could only wait for the fate of being executed, except for crying bitterly......

What made Lin Haoda feel amazing was that after the defeat, not many people committed suicide in the Maasai Revolutionary Army, but more than eighty percent of those female volunteers cried and stabbed sharp weapons into their vital points after the defeat......

One can imagine how bad Lin Haoda's army had a bad reputation for treating French women outside!

The clearing of the battlefield and the pursuit of the remnants of the enemy did not end until the evening of the next day, when the main force of the 100,000-strong Marseille Revolutionary Army was wiped out, and only a few people broke out with Colonel Rogers.

Interestingly, the three colonels of the Maasai Revolutionary Army, who initially opposed the general attack, were all killed on the battlefield, Colonel Mashur was hacked to death by a sabre, Colonel Hetman was shot in the chest by a stray bullet, and the twisted buckshot burst his lungs, causing him to die of blood loss, and Colonel Benichu was killed by a bayonet, with several sharp blade wounds on his body, apparently not killed by one person......

Because of their noble status, these colonels were screened separately when they cleaned up the bodies.

Because the battlefield was too chaotic, the Young Guards would not be able to count how many enemies they had killed for a while, but Lin Haoda's statistics obtained through the rounding of the all-out war system showed that the million killing targets had reached the level of 70/100.

The Maasai Revolutionary Army, including the logisticians they subsequently invested, killed or tortured about 100,000 people.

Many of the revolutionary soldiers who died were killed after giving up resistance, and this is the cruelty of war, and the defeated soldiers did not have any guarantee of life, not to mention that the two sides were ideologically opposed classes.

After the war, it is generally a very troublesome thing to count the number of enemy casualties, and the statistical results are often extremely skewed, but it is easy to count your own casualties, as long as the whole team sees how many soldiers are still alive......

Therefore, it didn't take long for Lin Haoda to get the battle damage report of his own side in this battle.

The artillery units that have not been threatened did not have any battle damage, and under Lin Haoda's strict orders, the artillerymen did not continue to fire when the gun chamber was overheated, and with the prefix that the system must be a high-quality product, none of the 12-pounder infantry field guns after the war were blown up.

On the contrary, the artillery of the Revolutionary Army of Marseille was completely destroyed because of the 'incorrect' way of use and the destruction that would have been carried out by the Radical Revolutionary Army when it retreated.

Excluding the artillery units that were not damaged in battle, the smallest losses were the hussars, who attacked after the victory, and only the single-digit personnel were unlucky enough to be pulled off their horses and killed because of the desperate Maasai revolutionary soldiers.

However, the cavalry is a very powerful unit, and as long as it does not fall into the enemy's infantry group, or is fired by muskets and artillery in the front, it is difficult to cause large casualties.

Even so, the cuirassiers, as the decisive force in finalizing the direction of the battle, also lost nearly 2,000 people, and only about 4,000 cuirassiers remained in combat effectiveness.

Of course, compared with the losses of these troops, the frontal resistance of the Young Guards is undoubtedly the greatest loss, at the beginning of the battle, the morale of the Maasai Revolutionary Army is not weaker than that of the Young Guards, and the two sides are almost consuming in exchange, but the Maasai Revolutionary Army has been fighting fiercely for more than an hour, because of the large number of casualties caused by artillery shelling and engaging the enemy, their morale has dropped significantly, coupled with the fatal blow of the cuirassiers, the battle loss ratio has fully fallen to the Young Guards.

Even so, the Maasai Revolutionary Army was still full of a large number of fanatical liberal revolutionaries, who resisted the Young Guards with their lives, and continued to bleed the Young Guards in the subsequent combat effectiveness.

After the final count, only more than 30,000 Young Guards are still standing on this land......

Don't look at the battle loss ratio between the two sides has reached a terrifying realm of 1 to 5, but you must know that Lin Haoda's side occupies an absolute advantage in firepower, and there is also this bug cuirassier, the Marseille revolutionary army has no way to deal with the crushing of hundreds of artillery pieces and the charge of cuirassiers, so it can only use human lives to stand up.

In such a war situation, and still fighting with the loyal and morale of the young guards for so long, I have to say that this Marseille revolutionary army is worthy of being the backbone of the revolution in France today.

However, this backbone was completely reduced to history in this battle, and the original passionate revolutionary trend was like a duck that was crushed by the neck, and the clamor suddenly dissipated......

This is not to say that the revolutionary regime with unlimited potential for riots will not have an army to resist Lin Haoda, but that they will no longer be able to organize such a capable revolutionary armed force in a short period of time.

Presumably, it won't be long before Lin Haoda's name will resound throughout France again, and this time Lin Haoda will be a conqueror and ignite the flames of war to the real French revolutionary base!
