Puff~~~ An armed citizen of Paris who has been cutting wood all year round and has exercised a body of tendon flesh, looked at the blue soldier-uniformed soldier in front of him who was covering his neck to the end, panting with a long-handled hand axe, and looking at the surrounding battlefield blankly. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

He didn't understand, when he came in, he was surrounded by companions who were fighting for freedom with a face of 'justice', why was it that less than half an hour had passed, and he was the only one left around who was still holding on?

The king's mercenaries in blue uniforms in front of him seemed to be endless, and each of them was proficient in battle formations, which made the heart of this armed citizen of Paris who had entered with his blood swell with fear for the first time!

He was so tired, he relied on his stronger strength than others to hack two soldiers to death, he had already sensed the limit of his own strength, when people were full of physical strength, they were often full of aggressiveness, but in the same way, when they were physically exhausted, they would also feel their weakness and insignificance!

At this time, this tired armed citizen of Paris is the abbreviation of most of the soldiers of the revolutionary army who have been fighting for a long time, they try their best to kill or be killed, but the opponent's defense line can never be broken!

Such armed forces, demagogic by all kinds of ideology, may have an unusual fanatical will at the beginning of the battle, but their fanaticism is like that of a man doing that kind of thing, and before it is shot, it is as violent as a ploughing ox, and when it is discharged, it ...... Well, men know it......

Under the command of Casio, the line infantry from the regular army was very well armed, and they used bayonet formations one after another to intercept the influx of the National Guard and the armed citizens of Paris!

The revolutionary army, which was limited by the narrow entrance of the city gate and the drawbridge, could not let all the troops pour in at once, let alone carry out the so-called roundabout outflanking, and the single entrance could only use the most stupid tactics of adding oil, like stuffing meat into a can, constantly squeezing and squeezing, and when it could not break through the defenders' bayonet line, it could only be replaced after the people in front died and left a vacant seat!

This allowed the Bastille defenders to spread their lines to their heart's content, ensuring maximum casualties, while the attackers had a large number of troops due to the crowded and narrow terrain, and could only stare at the rear or shoot at the line infantry on the walls......

The infantry on the line of local forces has a slight advantage in numbers, and the battle is still against the National Guard, which has only been formed for a few days, and a group of armed soldiers with mud legs, under the strict bayonet phalanx and officer scheduling, it is naturally impossible to be defeated in a short time on such favorable terrain!

Although a large number of line infantry were killed due to a large number of hand-to-hand combat, the overall front has always been as safe as Mount Tai!

Under this scorching tug-of-war, the resilience of the regular army began to emerge!

Whether it is the National Guard or the armed citizens of Paris, in fact, it is a temporary patchwork of armed forces, even if the National Guard is stronger, the essence of the change is not much, the original Paris security army soldiers who were involved in a large number of militias, due to the original institutional balance was disrupted, in fact, they have become relatively independent fighting individuals, which will undoubtedly reduce the collective combat resilience of the regular army soldiers!

In a short period of fighting, it may not be possible to see the decline in combat effectiveness brought about by the massive expansion of the National Guard, but once this kind of close-range hand-to-hand combat with bayonets, which tests the willpower of human beings, drags on, the time for the formation of the National Guard Force is too short, and the defects of too drastic expansion will be magnified in geometric multiples!

Enthusiasm and fanaticism are never something that can be maintained for a long time, and the Soviet Red Army soldiers in later generations still need a strict political commissar supervision system, and even a machine-gun supervision team to ensure the morale of their own soldiers, not to mention a group of spontaneously organized revolutionary masses and half-baked revolutionary paramilitary organizations?

The armed citizen of Paris, who was born as a lumberjack, no longer wanted to continue to charge forward under physical exhaustion, but retreated to the crowd behind him with his eyes dodging, his weak arms made him lose his previous self-confidence, and the desire for life once again overshadowed the enthusiasm for victory, and the boundless blue sea made him retreat!

This is not an isolated phenomenon, but the weakness of the revolutionary army as a whole after nearly an hour of fierce fighting!

Compared with the soldiers of the National Guard of the paramilitarized groups, the fighting enthusiasm of the armed citizens of Paris is depleted more quickly, and the rate at which their morale is declining is also painful......

Mayar naturally saw that the offensive strength of his army had weakened, but he knew that this spirit must not be discharged, and he could become a senior officer of the National Guard, and naturally he had two brushes, and he saw the essential difference between the National Guard and the regular army from the time he took over the post of commander of the National Guard!

The greatest advantage of the revolutionary army lies in its fanatical patriotism, especially the wave that erupted during the initial offensive, which is absolutely terrifying!

There is only one flaw that cannot be compared with the regular army, and that is the discipline of the army brought about by long hours of training and professional officer corps!

The morale of the regular army can be compensated for by the discipline that makes the soldiers fearful, but if the revolutionary army loses that fanaticism, it will really be finished......

Soldiers are easy to find, officers are difficult to train, and there are not many officers in the National Guard who are from military academies!

Therefore, this attack must be withheld, and once defeated by such a great advantage in storming the interior of the Bastille, the morale of the revolutionary army will be absolutely catastrophic!

Flattening the terrain and dragging the battle into close combat, with more of the Bastille defenders than they could fight, what would the citizens of Paris and the soldiers of the National Guard think?

Those people don't think about the narrowness of the city gate, the opponent's first hand, and so on, these slightly deeper military concepts!

Mayar had no other useful tactics at this time, and when attacking a military fortress with only one gate, he could only desperately stuff it with reinforcements, intending to use his lives to consume the number of the Bastille defenders to the point where he could no longer maintain the front, and naturally he won......

Battles against fortresses and cities, as long as the defenders are determined to resist, often cause heavy losses to the attacker, and the reason is that the attacker really does not have much tactical route for it to choose from, so it can only continue to attack with human lives!

After nearly an hour of hand-to-hand combat, Casio reported to Lin Haoda, who was on the front line, "My lord, the momentum of the revolutionary army has been greatly weakened, and the line infantry warrior regiment can deliver a fatal blow!" ”

Lin Haoda glanced at the only more than a hundred people, but his face was full of resoluteness, and he nodded and said, "Attack." ”
