Chapter 28: The Battle of the Bastille IV

[Local numerical superiority, frustration of fighting spirit, being bombarded by artillery at close range, vigorous and vigorous, officers taking the lead in the charge, the commander personally coming to the front line to command the morale of the encouragement, encouraged by the morale of the surrounding friendly troops, and instantly showing a large number of battle losses.

Lin Haoda frowned and looked at the soldiers of his own army who were washed with grape bombs at close range by the 5 cannons of the revolutionary army on the opposite side, and finally marked out a few big red characters - a large number of battle losses appeared in an instant, and the green morale strip was directly bombarded into yellow!

This is due to the improvement of the morale bonus of friendly troops provided by the elite line infantry warrior regiment under the command of the commander himself on the front line, the officer taking the lead in the charge, and the morale bonus of the elite line infantry warrior regiment!

If there were no such bonuses, wouldn't it mean that ordinary line infantry would be directly bombarded with grapeshotfire at close range, and directly bombed into a red morale bar at the critical point of collapse?

It was even directly bombarded into a rout of white morale bars!

When the army provided by the Total War system fights, the morale bar presents 5 states, and the green bar is the stage when the morale is very strong, even if the army in this state suddenly encounters a huge setback, it will not collapse quickly, and can barely delay the battle for a while.

In the state of morale of the yellow stripe, if the flanks or rear are flanked, or the cavalry breaks through from a direction other than the front, it is likely to be directly beaten into a white rout......

The morale of the red state can only barely maintain the army soldiers without a rout, and any enemy superior reinforcement or increase of local superiority factors will lead to the rout of the army under the morale of the red stripe!

The white strip is natural, that is, after the rout, there is still a representative of the morale of the basic organization, and the army in the state of white morale will flee to its own position en masse, in fact, the army in this state is already in the stage of collapse, and must return to the position of the headquarters or regroup under the response of friendly forces in order to restore morale, if the whole army is defeated, the white morale state is basically difficult to recover......

Of course, the soldiers in the state of white long morale are still loyal to Lin Haoda in their hearts, and will subconsciously move closer to him, if Lin Haoda himself is not in command on the battlefield, he will move closer to the commanding generals, as long as after a short period of reorganization, the white long morale can quickly rise back to the red long morale, so that it can be pulled back to continue fighting!

But there's a truly complete rout underneath the white strip of morale!

When the army is defeated, and all the grassroots officers and the surrounding friendly officers are dead, if the elite of this army is not enough, it is likely that the people who will be beaten directly will be disheartened, that is to say, the defeated soldiers will not flee to the main formation, but will choose to become prisoners or flee alone in an unknown direction, losing their loyalty to Lin Haoda......

Become a complete deserter!

Of course, this situation will only happen when the battlefield situation is at an extreme disadvantage and the army has a large number of battle losses, however, some high-level elite troops in the later stage can be immune to this state, and the most prone to collapse is undoubtedly those ordinary line infantry, this time because of the example of the line infantry warrior regiment by his side, so the line infantry did not lose too much morale.

The soldiers in blue and black uniforms who had endured a volley of grapeshotfire in front of them, after falling hundreds of corpses, were forced to pause in their charge, but the momentum was still under the command of the surviving officer, and continued to move forward!

"Damn! Can anyone tell me where the hell this regular army came out of? They were able to resist the grapeshot head-on and continue to charge!!

Are we fighting the King's Guard?!!! β€œ

Mayal's roar rang out suddenly, but unsurprisingly, he didn't get any response......

The military adjutants next to them were either pensive, embarrassed, or bowed their heads and remained silent......

Mayal wished he could have a squad of cavalry and plunge into the center of the charging Bastille defenders!

It's a pity that everything is just a beautiful fantasy......

Unlike the enraged Mayal, the National Guard artillery and the surrounding vigilant infantry on the front line gritted their teeth and held their flintlock pistols with bayonets, or met the Bastille defenders with swords and swords!

When Casio saw that he had successfully engaged the enemy, he knew that he had completed his mission in this battle, and those armed citizens of Paris who had not stopped their rout could not stop their troops from returning to the Bastille, and as for the National Guard, they were too late!

Lin Haoda's armed forces, who had maintained more than 1,000 troops after being killed and wounded, surrounded the 200 or so soldiers in the artillery positions of the National Guard and beat them in groups......

To tell the truth, the soldiers of the National Guard in these artillery positions did not flee but chose to resist, which really surprised Lin Haoda, this group of revolutionary troops similar to militia organizations is stronger than the king's army in terms of courage alone!

The King's Army and the Mercenaries are disciplined instincts that have been cultivated for many years to fight, and this group of people is for the belief in their hearts!

Lin Haoda's soldiers, who easily crossed the artillery barrier, drove the soldiers of the artillery position away in just a few minutes, and under Casio's command, a part of the line infantry once again formed a horizontal battle line, aiming at the National Guard reinforcements who were running over!

They want to delay these National Guards, so that the soldiers behind them have time to completely destroy those 5 guns!

After driving away the defenders of the artillery position, the line infantry immediately took out their hammers and iron nails and drove them into the breech slit used for the lighter to ignite!

This work is simple and fast, and it is also a way to make the enemy's artillery lose its combat effectiveness as quickly as possible, and if the iron nail that is driven into it cannot be removed, there is no place for the cannon to ignite......

The artillery of this era was cast as a whole in order to ensure airtightness, and without this small opening, it was impossible to ignite shells from other places!

However, in addition to nailing, the line infantry also concentrated the powder kegs on the artillery positions around the cannons and pulled the lead arquebus!

At this moment, the soldiers who intercepted the National Guard had already heard a series of gunshots, and in order to save their artillery, the National Guard launched a bayonet charge in the face of bullets, and in just one minute, Casio's soldiers wiped out more than 200 people with a three-stage shooting method!
