291 The culprit of troublemakers
Some people may wonder why Lin Haoda, as the regent, has such a big lag in news, except for the beginning when the Marquis de Lafayette led 100,000 elite French elite troops to attack, after getting detailed information, he has always been ignorant of the specific battle report of the Northern Legion, and he has not even received a messenger from the Northern Legion!
As a result, during the more than a month of rest he had in the Caen region, the Northern Legion, with less than half the strength of the other side, struggled to engage in several large battles with the Marquis de Lafayette in a state of insurrection in the local cities, but did not receive a single soldier to support him!
Of course, the generals and officers who came from the system of total war have no regrets, but the line infantry is not the kind of die-hard, their initial will to fight is not bad, and they inflicted a lot of casualties on the corps of the Marquis de Lafayette, which is a large-scale army composed of 100,000 European veterans, with the help of local insurgents, to carry out an all-round three-dimensional attack on the Northern Front regiment of less than 50,000 people.
Normally, as long as the Marquis de Lafayette did not make stupid military mistakes, it was impossible to lose more than half of this kind of battle, but in the end 50,000 people were killed by the Northern Army, and it can be said that although the Northern Line Corps was not as good as the Young Guards, it was enough to be called elite on the European continent.
Of course, because Lin Haoda has been fighting with the young guards in a die-hard state, he is naturally not deeply impressed by the results created by the line of soldiers, and any country can still destroy half of the opponent's troops in a battle of 50,000 against 100,000 elites, which is enough to prove that the combat effectiveness of these 50,000 people is recognized.
In fact, the Marquis de Lafayette was also quite dissatisfied with his own battle losses, thinking that it was an easy battle to pick peaches, but he did not expect that the Northern Line Legion, which had always been regarded by Lin Haoda as a second-tier local garrison, could also burst out with such a strong combat effectiveness, and the Northern Line Legion, which was completely passive in terms of troops, artillery, cavalry, and even the support of the locals, could play a one-to-one battle loss ratio with the elite of the French veterans led by the Marquis de Lafayette, which was really rare.
For this reason, after the victory of the decisive battle, the Marquis of Lafayette issued an order to hunt down and kill the rout of the line legion, he didn't want these veterans to return to the Iron Cross Eagle and cause trouble for him, but unfortunately, the Marquis of Lafayette did not know that the morale of these line rout soldiers had been completely cleared, and it was impossible to return to Lin Haoda in this life......
However, this behavior of the Marquis de Lafayette greatly slowed down the speed of the march and gave some careerists the opportunity to rise!
To get back to the point, Lin Haoda was not surprised by the defeat of the Northern Army, after all, the strength of the two sides was there, and Lin Haoda's reputation was extremely bad in the French national psychology, and it was impossible to get the support of the locals, but Lin Haoda didn't expect that European imperialism was so impatient, and the Robespierre government couldn't wait for it to completely collapse, so he couldn't wait to turn his face with himself!
Clear-eyed people know that without the support of Prussia and the Holy Roman Empire, the two great powers in the heart of the Great European Continent, the Marquis de Lafayette would not dare to launch an attack on the forces of Lin Haoda, who had won many battles!
However, what made Lin Haoda 'helpless' was that during the entire defeat of the Northern Legion, his communication with the Northern Legion was magically cut off!
With such great energy and manpower, it is naturally impossible for the Marquis de Lafayette, even if he participates, he is at most a person who fuels the troubles.
And what cut off Lin Haoda's communication channel with the Northern Army is the Assassin Brotherhood that has not shown up for a long time, and is even about to be forgotten by Lin Haoda!
The reason why the news of the Northern Legion was finally brought back only by Qin Xue'er was very simple, no one could cross the banks of the Seine in the great net laid by the professional assassins of the Assassin Brotherhood and deliver the news to Lin Haoda in the Caen region like Qin Xue'er.
Perhaps Robespierre's national government was in jeopardy, and the freedom of the French nation was about to be suppressed by Lin Haoda by himself, all the members of the Assassin Brotherhood from France jumped out of the water and took the initiative to contact the Marquis de Lafayette to help him completely cut off the communication between Lin Haoda and the Northern Army during the annihilation of the Northern Front Legions!
In the whole of Europe, and indeed in the whole world, I am afraid that the only one who has the ability to do this is the Assassin Brotherhood, which adheres to the concept of 'everything is false, everything is allowed', can brutally kill all the liaison personnel of a legion of tens of thousands of people.
In front of the Assassin Brotherhood, which is good at reconnaissance, tracking, searching for clues, proficient in assassination and frontal skirmishes, almost all the communication personnel sent by the Northern Army died unexpectedly, which is why Lin Haoda did not learn the news of the specific destruction of the Northern Army until Qin Xue'er arrived in Caen City.
In fact, Lin Haoda also knew the Assassin Brotherhood's practices before, but he did not have an Assassin organization under his command that could confront the Assassin Brotherhood, so he couldn't let Zhaoyun alone fight against the entire Assassin Brotherhood, not to mention that the Young Guards were replenishing supplies to prepare for the next attack, and they were unable to launch a large-scale campaign.
However, with Qin Xue'er's arrival, Lin Haoda has completed eighty percent of the material reserves prepared for the new campaign, and the next thing is to figure out the next enemy that needs to be attacked!
Robespierre's government seems to have more than 100,000 armed men with guns, but the real fighting force Lin Haoda knows very well, that is, a group of panicked mobs with weapons, losing half of Brittany, the main force of the revolutionary army has been defeated again and again......
The reason why Robespierre's ruling government has not yet collapsed is only because most people dare not surrender to Lin Haoda, who often raids his family and exterminates his family, and even the roots of the National Salvation Committee have been hollowed out in the continuous battles, and a large number of political commissioners have died on the battlefield, which has greatly shaken the foundation of Robespierre's terrorist politics, and it can be said that the biggest threat in the past is not as great as the crisis brought by the Marquis de Lafayette.
Because the Marquis de Lafayette, who annihilated the Northern Front Corps, can go straight to the Paris region!
