"Cannon !!"

All of them ~~~

Amid the roar of the artillery captain, the four six-pounder infantry field guns that were pulled to the front of the main road from the Bastille to the Paris City Hall were the first to shoot fiery solid bullets. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The Bastille is not too far from the Paris City Hall, it is connected by a wide main road, which passes through three intersecting cross-cutting main roads, forming exactly three intersections, from which the rush to the Paris City Hall is undoubtedly the closest straight line!

The three intersecting main roads are also the key defense points of the National Guard, after all, the other places are narrow lanes that can only be used by two or three or even one person side by side, or there are all kinds of houses scattered and messy, unless the large army drives through the roof, it is difficult to quickly cross so many and dense houses to hit the city hall, so it is undoubtedly the quickest way to directly attack the main road to break through!

Of course, the large number of houses is not necessarily an insurmountable obstacle, and the army can also be used as a demolition team to run over all the way, but for the black powder filled explosives and artillery that mainly fired solid shells in the era of queuing to shoot, the difficulty of demolition is much greater than the difficulty of breaking through from the main road......

Unless you're going to burn all the houses to the ground!

This is the French Civil War, not a foreign invasion, Lin Haoda has only a few thousand people under his command, if he really dares to destroy humanity and create a fire of man-made destruction in the city of Paris, even if the king's army wins, it will not be able to save his ......

To burn the capital of a country to the ground is quite hated, and hated by all classes!

Well, except for foreigners......

Besides, setting all the houses on fire is not much easier than taking them down with soldiers......

At this time, there were no flamethrowers and incendiary grenades, and the efficiency of lighting the house with torches was basically equivalent to exposing oneself to the enemy's fire......

No matter how you analyze it, unless Lin Haoda is forced into a certain death, he will not go to the desperate way of self-destruction.

In contrast to the narrow view of the alleys between houses, three horizontal arterial roads and a vertical arterial road leading to the Hôtel de Ville are undoubtedly the focus of the defense of the National Guard!

The crossroads are a natural hunting ground for a large number of attacking troops, and the firepower points from the houses on both sides can easily kill the soldiers rushing to the crossroads, and cooperate with the friendly forces in front of them to suppress them in all directions!

For this reason, the National Guard's defensive front is focused on the three crossroads that intersect the three horizontal main roads and the direct main roads!

Of course, Lin Haoda's army can also choose a detour, but for Lin Haoda, who does not have an advantage in troops, a detour means giving the National Guard more defensive space to consume its own troops, which is tantamount to increasing the chances of victory for the National Guard.

After all, the area of the main road and the surrounding houses is limited, and only a part of the National Guard can be installed, and there is a limit to the number of people who can defend it......

In this way, the thousands of men and horses under Lin Haoda's command were all concentrated in front of the vertical main road from the Bastille to the Paris City Hall, and only a small number of vigilant soldiers were arranged in other directions, with the combat effectiveness of the National Guard, even if the offensive was launched from other directions, it would be defeated by the thousands of regular troops to which Lin Haoda turned their guns.

Lin Haoda wished that the National Guard would take the initiative to attack from other directions, and the Bastille defenders who were fighting on the inside could be deployed in the Bastille first, and brutally torture the advancing National Guard soldiers to severely suppress their morale!

It's a pity that the revolutionary army, which was pulled away by the Marquis de Lafayette, did not have such a rampant brain, and completely put on a stubborn posture, and the National Guard who remained in the urban area of Paris was even more miserable than Lin Haoda imagined, because the small number of field guns were all pulled away by the Marquis Lafayette......

In the 'technical term' of the Marquis de Lafayette, it is that artillery is inconvenient to move in street battles, has a narrow field of vision, and is far less powerful than a wide field of vision in field battles, not to mention that tens of thousands of National Guards, who have fanatical beliefs in the revolution, cannot withstand the attack of thousands of mercenaries?

The Marquis de Lafayette was so bold that he pulled away the only few field guns of the National Guard......

On the front of the main road battlefield, 4 six-pounder infantry field guns were concentrated and aimed at the National Guard barricade line at the first street entrance, and carried out solid shell shelling with maximum speed!

Light infantry of varying numbers advanced in a skirmish, relying on various bunkers, while firing accurately at the musketeers of the National Guard!

Of course, the most conspicuous thing is the line infantry lined up in front of the main road, after the artillery fires, the military music drum of the temporary vanguard battalion of the line infantry beats the drum, the dull and agitated rhythm adjusts the pace of the line infantry, the soldiers carrying flintlock pistols on their shoulders and wearing black high caps, wearing straight blue military uniforms, just like the square array listed by those handsome soldiers in the celebration and parade of various countries in the 21st century, under the leadership of the officer holding the command knife in front, he moved forward expressionlessly!

In fact, in Lin Haoda's eyes, the phalanx of the infantry on the battlefield is far less neat than the honor guards who paid attention to appearance in later generations, and there is no impassioned slogan and uplifting spirit at the parade ceremony.

Officers have to constantly adjust the queue to maintain the overall integrity and basic horizontal and vertical, in the battlefield is the line of infantry, it is difficult to achieve a real straight line of march, a company may still be able to remain neat, but several companies together, will definitely walk and walk uneven phenomenon......

Without the real-time synchronous adjustment of the officers, these well-trained soldiers would definitely have walked out of the chaos of 21st century elementary school students conducting queue training on the playground on the battlefield......

Because most soldiers, when they see the muzzle of the gun pointed at them in front of them, they tend to nervously forget the rules of training, and their body movements are more accompanied by the instinctive drive that has been repeated hundreds of times and the inertia of their colleagues in front and behind, left and right......

A recruit who is full of praise on the training ground is often not as good as a veteran who can't tell the difference between his left and right feet after going to the battlefield......

The line infantry who did not wait for the vanguard approached the crossroads barricade in the distance, and countless muzzles of guns suddenly stretched out from the houses on both sides of the main road!
