Chapter 22: The Beginning of the Killing
On the night of the 13th, small groups of self-formed mobs occasionally tried to approach the Bastille, but in the face of the wide moat and the high walls, the attack was so weak that Lin Haoda's soldiers were able to kill the approaching armed citizens of Paris with muskets without even firing a cannon!
However, the stubborn resistance of the Bastille completely angered the armed citizens who fought in the city of Paris and took control of almost the entire city of Paris!
As the small armed mob that had been routed re-dispersed into the city of Paris, a group of sans-culottes shouting trumpets suddenly appeared in the streets and alleys of Paris!
Armed with weapons of all colors, they waved their hands and shouted, "Go to the Bastille!" as they passed through the barricades and a group of fellow revolutionary workers in Paris! Go to the Bastille! ”
In the hearts of the people of Paris, the Bastille is a symbol of the autocracy of the feudal monarchy, and at the dawn of the victory of the revolution, they naturally will not allow such a military fortress to stand in the urban area of Paris under their control!
For the town hall controlled by the Standing Committee, the Bastille was a must-take from both a military and a political point of view, because with the height of the Bastille's towers and the armament of the forts, it was possible to bombard a small half of the Parisian city to its heart's content!
Not to mention the overthrow of the Bastille's place in the hearts of Parisian mud-legged!
In the face of such instigated revolutionary insurrections, spiritual belief is the sign of the continued victory of the revolution, and as long as the masses of the people are convinced that the revolution will be victorious, the Standing Committee of the bourgeoisie, which has taken away the fruits of the revolution and controls the revolutionary armed forces, will have a steady supply of soldiers!
At the spontaneous instigation of the armed soldiers of Paris, Parisian citizens who could take up arms, men and women, young and old, flocked to the place where the Bastille was located!
They are like a group of grandfathers who march in arms, shouting slogans of overthrowing the tyranny of the king and shouting slogans of democracy, freedom and fraternity!
By the time the sun was shining on the city of Paris on 14 July, the entire military organization of Paris, including the police, had been completely paralyzed, or rather, controlled by the town hall of the Standing Committee of the bourgeoisie!
The revolution of Paris seemed to be in sight at this moment!
Standing at the commanding heights of the Bastille Security Tower, Lin Haoda raised his binoculars and looked at the armed citizens who were like ants surrounding the Bastille, and couldn't help but gasp, secretly glad that he had not recklessly gone out to try to suppress the revolutionary uprising in Paris......
He just took a brief look at the armed citizens of Paris, and there were tens of thousands of them!
Although their weapons are disorganized, and many of them don't even have muskets, such an army, in the complex terrain of Paris, only needs a heart with combat enthusiasm to easily devour tens of thousands of regular troops!
After all, street fighting is fundamentally different from field warfare, and the dense and complex lanes and houses in the urban area of Paris will reduce the cluster advantage and discipline advantage of the regular army to a minimum, and they can only rely on flesh and blood to fight for every inch of land and every house with armed mobs!
This is the terrible thing about street fighting, street fighting in any huge city is a nightmare for an elite army!
Stalin used the cruelty of urban street battles and cheap Soviet people's cannon fodder to consume the German elite veterans alive and died in the bottomless pit of Stalingrad!
"The power of France is still very strong. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info" Lin Haoda put down the binoculars and sighed emotionally.
"My lord, please forgive my subordinates for saying bluntly, these people on the periphery are just armed mobs, and the bourgeois militia in the intelligence has not yet appeared, even if our soldiers are brave, if they want to capture the city of Paris at this time, they need at least 50,000 people." Casio reminded Lin Haoda beside him.
"Aha~ I don't have such ambitions, at this time I will snatch the fruits of victory with those bourgeois vampires, we are just mercenaries loyal to the king, as long as we hold the Bastille, we are a political victory for the representatives of the feudal kingship!
The King of France still has many mercenaries and guards at his disposal, and they are not powerless, but they are only afraid of the power of the French people, and all we have to do is to prove that the power of the people is not invincible in the face of iron and blood! “
Lin Haoda looked at the armed mob of Paris clamoring on the periphery with a grim look in his eyes, and said something very reactionary: If it were placed in the 21st century, those who dared to slander the people's power in such a way would definitely be pushed off the stage by a large number of critical voices and political enemies, and step on their feet again by the way, so that their reputation would completely stink all over the streets!
It's one thing to do, it's not good for everyone to say it!
"Let the soldiers open up and kill, anyway, we have plenty of ammunition, and the more people we kill, the better it will be for me."
Casio, who comes from the Total War system, naturally knows the meaning of what Lin Haoda said about good, the more people he kills, the more colleagues will appear in the future!
In the task evaluation, the number of killings is an important criterion!
What a murderous system......
The sheer superiority in numbers gave high morale to the armed citizens of Paris, including men, women and children, and a large crowd began to fill in the moat!
The Bastille is only connected by a drawbridge, and if you want to storm it, you must fill a way in the 25-meter-wide moat!
This time, Lin Haoda's soldiers were finally able to let go of their hands and feet!
The turrets of the tower began to rotate, and the soldiers did not need to aim much, as long as the muzzle of the gun was facing the general direction!
Anyway, there are armed citizens outside, and it's easy to kill people......
All ~~~
Under the pressure of the sudden burst of black powder, the solid bullets were pushed out of the muzzle and flew towards the dense crowd!
A very 'lucky' frontal shot hit the body of a bare-armed Parisian girl from top to bottom, piercing a huge hole in the center of her body, and a messy pile of internal organs scattered around, the Parisian girl stared blankly at the Bastille Tower not far away, and fell to the blood-red ground piled up by her internal organs without even letting out a scream!
The revolution of the people of Paris was of a general nature, especially the ruffians, bastards and women, who were very enthusiastic about this carnival of riots, and ordinary Parisian citizens might hesitate to join the ranks of the revolutionary masses, but almost all of these people from the gray professions at the bottom of society participated in this violent revolutionary feast!
The solid bullet that just penetrated a Parisian girl, and the kinetic energy bounced on the ground several times, and every time it jumped, it would take away the lower limbs and lives of one or even several unlucky people!
