In fact, every time the Revolutionary Army attacked the Bastille, Casio would leave at least three companies of soldiers standing in a column of guns at the inside of the city gate behind the drawbridge to prevent emergencies. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The Bastille was so well fed that Casio naturally wanted to make the entire defense system perfect, which was also the caution that a qualified officer should have.

Sure enough, the seemingly impossible drawbridge was raided by four assassins who suddenly erupted among the revolutionary army and successfully opened the only communication between the Bastille and the outside world, and the line infantry reserved for the city gate finally came into play!

There are three rows of horizontal phalanx facing the city gate, which is enough for the strength of two companies, and one row can have more than 100 line infantry standing with guns!

The first row was about 60 steps away from the City Gate, that is, about 30 yards, and even if the Revolutionary Army broke out of the City Gate, they would have to cross this 30 yards to engage the defenders of the Bastille in close combat!

This 30-yard open space is the graveyard that Casio has set aside to kill and injure the enemy with a platoon of guns to the greatest extent!

Because even if the troops facing the city gate cave are 30 meters away from the city gate hole, the effective range of the flintlock pistol can shoot at the enemy rushing on the drawbridge, and their firepower will not be delayed!

Two companies and three rows of soldiers facing the city gate hole, each two soldiers were spaced more than one person wide, and when the sound of the drawbridge falling came, all the soldiers entered the state of readiness under the command of the officer!

As the armed citizens of Paris, holding high the red, white and blue tricolor flags, took the lead and led a group of companions armed with various weapons to cross the drawbridge and rush into the city gate, the three rows of second lieutenant officers next to the first row of soldiers facing the city gate raised their flintlock handcuffs and shouted: "Aim!! ”

The soldiers in the first row immediately raised their flintlock pistols to their shoulders, put their fingers on the hook of the trigger, and looked at the armed citizens of Paris in short robes made of tattered linen that had entered the effective firing range!

"Fire !!"

As soon as the officer's voice fell, he pulled the trigger of the flintlock handcuff in his hand, and in just three seconds, all the flintlock pistols in the first row completed the action of firing lead bullets, and bursts of choking white mist rose, slightly blocking the soldiers' vision, but soon drifted into the air!

The fanatical fool who held high the red, white and blue tricolor flag bore the brunt of the beating into a meat sieve, and several small holes in the blood-soaked body of the sturdy body that had been trained by years of hard work appeared and fell softly into the hole in the city gate!

People can die, but flags can't fall!

The armed citizens of Paris in the back quickly took the red, white and blue tricolor flag, which symbolized the belief in freedom, and raised it high again!

The city gate cave is a relatively narrow passage, at most 5 or 6 people running side by side, it is conceivable that in this kind of crowded narrow space, a full hundred flintlock pistols come to a salvo, what will happen to the people in the first few rows......

Even if the accuracy of the flintlock pistol at a long distance is 'touching', a hundred flintlock pistols can knock the brave man rushing in front to the ground against such a dense crowd with such a small cross-section!

After the first row of line infantry finished shooting, they retreated into the last row with flintlock pistols in the gap between the soldiers, as they did in training!

The soldiers in the second platoon stepped forward and, under the orders of the officer, raised their flintlock pistols and aimed at them, and fired another volley of lead bullets at the armed citizens of Paris who were still charging!

The armed citizens of Paris, crowded in the cave of the city gate, were like targets that had been shot one by one, and their bodies stood straight in the face of the baptism of hundreds of lead bullets, and one after another fell on the road of the charge!

And those who fell in front, even if they did not reduce the morale of the armed citizens of Paris behind, the corpses of the dead would more or less hinder the surge of people behind!

It turned the running of the armed citizens of Paris into a jog......

The line infantry facing the city gate hole used the standard three-stage platoon gun formation, and the three platoons of men were uniformly prepared, aimed, and shot under the orders of the officer!

The frequency of a salvo of less than 20 seconds is basically guaranteed!

In just one minute, after three rounds of guns, the city gate hole was already full of corpses, staggered layer upon layer, all of them were young men rushing to the front!

However, the sacrifice of the armed citizens of Paris was not in vain, they stepped on the corpses of their own people, skipped the city gate hole, and really stepped into the Bastille!

However, when these armed citizens of Paris came out of the narrow city gate hole, they couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded, in addition to the three rows of blue uniformed soldiers who were firing a row of guns at the city gate hole, dozens of meters away from the city gate hole, there were also hundreds of soldiers standing in a horizontal line of guns and phalanx, leaning towards each other from two directions facing the city gate hole, just enough to form a crossfire on the two wings of the Paris armed citizens who rushed out of the city gate hole......

What's even worse is that the Bastille defenders on the wall also turned their guns inward, facing the large open space reserved at the entrance of the city gate, waiting for these armed citizens of Paris to rush in, and follow their colleagues below to cooperate in an all-round three-dimensional attack on the revolutionary army......

And then...... And then there is no more......

The armed citizens of Paris, who had just rushed out of the entrance of the city gate, were immediately baptized by the crossfire from the platoon of guns ready to fire from the two wings, and immediately, hundreds of soldiers who were firing freely above the wall carried out a massive replenishment of their guns in the gap between the changing formations after the volley of soldiers below......

Before the armed citizens of Paris who stormed the Bastille came to their senses, they were hit with lead bullets from a platoon of guns from four directions!

Front, left, right and above!

With such dense firepower, Casio even sighed with some regret - if it were equipped with four field guns facing the city gate hole and loading grapeshot, the defense would definitely be tighter......

The armed citizens of Paris who rushed into the city gate cave in the first formation were directly blinded by the dense firepower, except for the back, deadly bullets were fired in every direction, and the narrow city gate hole limited the speed of the influx of armed citizens of Paris, and the continuous and effective three-stage shot of a steady stream of lead bullets, and the lethality increased geometrically as the distance was shortened!

Finally, the armed citizens of Paris in front could not bear it!

The red, white and blue tricolor flags abandoned at the entrance of the city gate were not picked up again, and the armed citizens of Paris, who were beaten by the dense lead bullets, fled backwards in terror to avoid this three-dimensional baptism of lead bullets!

Unfortunately, the armed citizens of Paris in front of them lost their courage, and the armed citizens of Paris who had just stepped on the drawbridge behind them were still shouting with passion for a free charge, and they had already felt the weakening of the shooting from the wall, but they did not expect that the fire above had weakened because the soldiers on the wall had turned their guns and shot inward......
