In 1673, the Taiping army, which was ready to use the Duchy of Savoy as a starting point, invaded the southern border of the Kingdom of France, and as soon as the war broke out, it was one-sided.

The Kingdom of Spain and the Kingdom of Portugal supported the allied army, which was about to collapse in front of the Taiping army, and the Kingdom of France, in order to maintain its vital strength, rationally did not fight against the Taiping army in the field, and let the Taiping army go deep into the hinterland.

Marseille is an important port city of the Kingdom of France, and the Kingdom of France is using the port of Marseille and sea to continuously transport war materials to support the French army in the southwestern region of France to persist in fighting.

Therefore, after the Taiping army invaded the southwestern region of France, the first target was placed on the city of Marseille, as long as the port of Marseille was taken, the French army in the south of the Kingdom of France would have to continue to retreat.

Sufficient ammunition may not be able to defeat the Taiping army, let alone if the logistics are cut off?

Of course, the French army also understood the importance of the city of Marseille, and gathered almost all the elite and large militia units in the south-west of France here to engage in fierce street battles with the Taipings.

It was not that the French army did not establish a defensive line on the periphery to resist the Taiping army, but because the field fortifications were not held for even a day under the attack of the Taiping army......

Nowadays, the only thing that can hold back the Taiping Army's offensive is urban street fighting.

Of course, for the loyal Taiping soldiers, the difference between street fighting and hard work was only how many more troops were lost.

Therefore, the division commander of the Taiping Army, who was in charge of the attack, issued standard tactical orders in the rear headquarters in an orderly manner, and advanced to Marseille City in an orderly manner.

In the camp outside the headquarters, Taiping soldiers in blue cabqi uniforms, armed with Hanyang-made rifles, supervised coolies from the Duchy of Savoy to carry ammunition boxes and wagons loaded with food.

However, in this environment, as usual, groups of French civilians suddenly appeared on the periphery of the front headquarters!

When the soldiers of the Taiping Army on duty saw the French civilians holding agricultural forks, wooden sticks, hoes, all kinds of cold weapons, and a small number of flintlock pistols in their hands, they quickly took off their Hanyang-made rifles and opened fire into the sky, and shouted at the crowd surging in all directions: "If we advance further, we will shoot!" ”

After the French traitor on the side translated this sentence into Chinese and shouted it several times, he saw that more and more French civilians still did not stop, and pulled the trigger without hesitation!

Bang bang bang......

After the five loaded bullets of the Hanyang-made rifle were shot into the air, a bloody flower was shot in the crowd, and the crowd was stimulated by the dead, not retreating, but advancing, from a fast march to a trotting charge!

"Kill all the Han people and avenge our loved ones! God's glory is ours forever! ”

Under the 'flickering' of the missionaries, the French civilians, armed with rudimentary weapons, marched all the way to the Taiping army headquarters that were supplying them on the spot and wantonly killing people.

The few vigilant sentries of the Taiping army immediately ran towards the camp in the rear when they saw that the endless crowd showed no sign of breaking up under the gunfire.

Soon, a row of improvised horses was stopped in front of the crowd, and the soldiers of the Taiping Army Guard stood in a row, as if at the scene of a shooting, and pulled the trigger on the crowd surging from all directions!

Patches of bright blood bloomed on the chests of the crowd, telling the poignancy of the war, and the local people, who had a deep hatred for the Taiping Army and were instigated, still rushed forward with rudimentary 'weapons' under the push of the crowd behind.

Although the rate of fire of the Hanyang-made rifle is fast, the reloading step is not slow after firing out the five-round magazine, and the Taiping army did not expect that all the French civilians in the rear would gather and attack the Taiping army headquarters!

The crowd of French civilians is like a zombie movie in later generations, and people are pouring up one after another.

After the few Taiping Army guards shot the magazines in their empty hands, they had no choice but to insert their bayonets and slam them, because behind them was their own headquarters, and there was no way back!

A tragic hand-to-hand combat broke out suddenly, although the Taiping soldiers had strong hand-to-hand combat ability, they couldn't hold four hands with their fists, not to mention, the French civilians who poured up were not just four hands, each Taiping soldier had to face at least ten French mobs!

As a result, the Taiping headquarters was quickly drowned in the crowd, and when the Taiping division commander tried to leave here and go to the front line to join his main army, it was already surrounded by a crowd of French civilians......

After the division commander of the Taiping Army emptied the six rounds of the revolver, he drew his saber and fought until the last moment, and the red-eyed French civilians who were killed were torn to pieces......

Not even the coolies from the Duchy of Savoy escaped the revenge of the French mob, and one by one they were smashed into a puddle of flesh, and in the end, not a single one of them was left intact!

This Taiping army headquarters, which had only more than 100 people left, was attacked by thousands of French mobs, and became a place of death, even if the Taiping army killed thousands of French mobs, they were powerless to resist the disparity between the enemy and the enemy......

This situation did not stop at the headquarters, during the main attack of the Taiping army on the city of Marseille, more than eighty percent of the small strongholds of the Taiping army were attacked by dozens of times the French mob, including the elderly, women and children!

Many French mobs even followed the missionaries to the Taiping garrison to attack and kill with their bare hands, supported by a passion and desire for revenge.

In this way, the commanders of the French army tried to force the Taiping army to withdraw from the city of Marseille, leaving them a certain time to breathe.

As for how many innocent French civilians would have died in this attack, it is no longer in the table.

The French mobs that had attacked the strongholds, under the leadership of their respective leaders, picked up the weapons and equipment of the fallen Taiping soldiers, gathered together one by one, and swarmed towards the rear of the main force of the Taiping front line, which still had not given up the attack.

The French have gone so far as to try to get a mob with rudimentary weapons to attack the main force of the Taiping Army on both sides!

However, the French mob was outnumbered, gathering more than 20,000 people in a short period of time, and was supported by a steady stream of agitated mobs.

It's a pity that when the first French mob entered the rear of the main French force on the front line, they were faced with the Taiping soldiers who had already received the news and lined up in a tight firing line!
