"Attack! For freedom! For France! ”

Armed citizens swarmed forward under the bombardment of the tower's artillery, and armed citizens with muskets crackled and fired at the blue-uniformed soldiers inside the perimeter of the Bastille walls. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The momentum was very large, but the casualties caused to Lin Haoda's soldiers were close to zero, except for the particularly unlucky soldiers, no one was shot!

Lin Haoda's soldiers either hid on the wall and leaned on the wall to cover the shooting, or in the raised tower wall window, stretched out the barrel of the gun to aim and shoot, whether it was the soldier on the wall or the shooter in the window, the exposed body area was very narrow, not to mention the flintlock pistol with a pit hit rate in this era, even under the accurate breech gun shooting of later generations, it was not easy to accurately hit the enemy soldiers hiding in the windows and roofs!

It's a complete asymmetrical reciprocal shot!

However, the revolutionary enthusiasm of the armed citizens was unusually high, and they were not discouraged by the absolute numerical superiority to raise their guns and shoot at the soldiers leaning on the fortifications of the wall!

More armed citizens were armed with all sorts of equipment, filling and digging trenches.

There wasn't much water in the Bastille moat, just a large trench, and with the help of the crowd, they were soon able to dig a slope that could be passed, and then, with some filling, they could cross the trench and approach the Bastille wall on the opposite side!

Of course, civil engineering is not difficult, but it is an out-and-out disaster to carry out under the blockade of the guns and artillery fire of Lin Haoda's soldiers!

The soldier with the highest hit rate was the soldier hiding behind the windows of the tower, behind each window there were several or even multiple soldiers in blue uniforms on standby, when one soldier finished shooting, he immediately took the initiative to retreat, and the second soldier took over with a loaded flintlock pistol and continued to shoot!

And so on and so forth, and after all the soldiers behind the window have shot, the first soldier to shoot has already loaded his ammunition and replaced him, which is the advantage of abundant troops!

If it were like the dozens of Swiss mercenaries guarding the original place, I'm afraid that one person and one window would not be able to fill it......

Not to mention, in addition to the firing points inside the tower, there were full line infantry on the walls for firing positions!

Armed citizens with all sorts of miscellaneous objects and armed citizens with guns and guns are falling one after another under the walls of the Bastille!

"These French people are crazy! They continue like this, they don't need to dig trenches at all, they only need corpses to fill in a path! Lin Haoda looked at the attack around the Bastille Gate with a shocked look as he held his binoculars, which belonged to the narrowest part of the moat, and there was just a protruding part of the land that stretched out to the inside of the Bastille Trench, and if the drawbridge was lowered, it would just be placed on this raised land to connect the inside and outside.

However, because this is the narrowest part of the trench, the two towers around the gate are just positioned to tilt all their fire to attack this piece of land, and at the same time, the wall on the gate drawbridge also has a shooting position for the soldiers left behind to stand on, so that they can condescendingly attack the enemy below, and the rope switch of the drawbridge is also here!

Lin Haoda placed a whole line of infantry in the firing position above the city gate, if it weren't for the limited area, he would have put half of his troops......

It is such an attack point that has become a place of death for armed citizens, when Lin Haoda was once a mercenary in the 21st century, where did he see this scene of facing the charge with guns and cannons?

Although this way of fighting has the reason for the low hit rate of weapons in this era, but the low hit rate does not mean that you can't hit people, and what is it that supports these armed citizens who have not undergone military training to die on the charging road where the people in front of them are constantly turned into corpses by solid bullets and lead bullets?

Lin Haoda, who has long been bombarded with all kinds of enlightened information in the 21st century, naturally can't understand the common people of this era, the desire for resistance to oppression and freedom and democracy, especially the country of France is still the cradle of enlightened philosophers and thinkers, all kinds of written books that are absolutely forbidden for feudal autocracy, a large number of them circulate throughout France, and Paris, as the capital of France, is the hardest hit area of this kind of philosophical thought!

Guided by these books of thought, and by the harsh circumstances of the French commoners, it seemed natural that such enthusiasm could erupt......

This kind of behavior in the face of superior firepower may be silly, but it does not mean that it is ineffective, and after paying hundreds of corpses for the armed citizens, they have successfully dug and filled a barely passable passage in the trench!

At this moment, on the turrets of the towers on both sides, several blue-uniformed soldiers finally aimed their muzzles filled with grapeballs at the trench that had been opened.

The so-called grapeshot is a large number of solid small-particle shells loaded with a very short range but a large scattering surface. Close quarters are very effective against dense formations.

This ammunition has a shorter effective range and is more complex to make, far less expensive than solid iron bullets, and grapeshots are only effective against dense crowds and are largely useless against buildings and fortifications, so there are not many grapeshots in the Bastille......

This is the reason why Lin Haoda's soldiers have not been willing to use grapeshot bullets before, this thing is not like a solid projectile piled up in an arsenal, it is really one shot and one less shot!

However, it must be used now, the fighting enthusiasm of the armed citizens exceeded the expectations of Lin Haoda and his soldiers, hundreds of corpses were placed in front of them, but the momentum of the attack did not decrease at all!

Don't forget, these armed citizens were a bunch of French civilians who were squeezed and blood-sucked by the aristocracy and capitalists yesterday!

Armed citizens can get over the trench and grab some tools to make a few holes in the stone blocks of the fence and stuff them into explosives packs!

In the era when gunpowder was in vogue, no matter how tall and thick the walls were, they were no longer an unbreakable chasm......

Sure enough, after the armed citizens filled a bloody path with their lives, dozens of armed citizens with brains volunteered to rush to the walls of the Bastille with tools and powder kegs!

You know, filling in the trench may still be able to dodge the bullets, but by punching a hole in the wall and planting gunpowder, it is a good live target!

At this time, there is no professional blasting tool, and it can be detonated by pulling a line!

"Cannon !!"

When the armed citizens who volunteered rushed up, the grapeshits that had been prepared were sprinkled all over the earth and the fragile human body!
