Before Chopin could answer, the door to the conference room was suddenly pushed open, and a cavalryman of the Guards said with a very solemn face. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Your Majesty, Lord Giman has asked me to inform you, the enemy ...... It's already here. ”

********

A few miles from the coast, in an open area, to which almost all the forces of the entire city of Paris had been mobilized.

Three hundred and sixty spear infantry, two hundred and forty town militiamen, nearly a hundred cavalry guardsmen, and about fifty fur smugglers.

Except for the dozens of sailors on the brig, almost all the troops on the entire drifting island were concentrated here by him, and the city of Paris at this time suddenly became an empty city without the slightest defensive ability, and even the only team of Sark falcon guns left behind had already been transferred by Chopin to the fishing port.

Of course, in addition to these, there is also a line of infantry that Chopin has just summoned through the system.

"Line Infantry: The main infantry during the French Empire, with comprehensive capabilities, without line infantry to help you maintain the line, you can't play any tactics.

Number of people: 120

Range: 70 yards

Recruitment price: 400 gold. ”

In his hands, he carried a flintlock pistol, and the bayonets equipped on it flashed in the sunlight, and with the appearance of these line infantry, the murderous aura of the sharp edge was also irrepressibly diffused.

"Salute to you, Your Majesty the Great King!"

The uniform voices sounded from the mouths of the hundreds of line infantry at the same time, as if they had sensed the blowing of the war horn, and they all looked extremely excited.

The line infantry was born in the 17th century, and the extremely powerful line infantry tactics were popular throughout Europe for hundreds of years.

Even their former mortal enemy, the cavalry, could only break up and flee in the face of the line infantry that was extremely skilled in the operation of the phalanx.

Unlike the two groups of town militia left to Chopin at the beginning of the system, the rest of the troops, such as spearmen, are still needed to protect and cooperate in order to burst out with terrifying lethality.

These line infantry in front of them can form an army on their own, and whether it is the morale of the whole army, the strictness of discipline, or the combat ability, it is a level higher than that of the urban militia.

"What's going on now?"

Seeing Jiman staring at the shore with a solemn face, Chopin's heart couldn't help but sink.

"Your Majesty, the situation is a bit bad."

Sensing Chopin's arrival, the solemn look on Jiman's face was also slightly relaxed, but the tightly clenched fists still showed that he was highly nervous at this time.

Looking along the blue sea, there are more than a dozen of them

The battleship was now parked on the coast, and a large number of soldiers were constantly surging towards the drifting island in small boats, and the dense crowd of people was constantly moving.

With just a cursory glance, Chopin could conclude that the number of soldiers in front of him was definitely not less than a thousand, and as for how many sailors and soldiers were on top of the dozen ships, he did not know.

"It hasn't been long since the other party arrived, but looking at this formation, it is the iron heart that wants to capture this drifting island."

"Three ocean-going warships, five three-masted sails, in addition, there are ten transport warships, as for the number of soldiers, it is not clear, but preliminary estimates, I am afraid that it is more than two thousand people."

In the face of such a lineup, Giman also sighed helplessly, the only brigs and those small sails in France at present, it is impossible to resist such a lineup, so he has ordered the sailors to move all the ships to the other corner of the Drift Island.

Although a full twelve guns were installed on the brig, it was impossible to suppress the attack of a dozen warships on the opposite side with only such a small amount of firepower.

Nearly twenty warships were dispatched together, as long as the brigs were slightly pinned, and the two sides had to engage in hand-to-hand combat, and Chopin's sailors, no matter how brave they were, could not resist an enemy several times or even more than ten times their own.

And if you really want to engage in naval warfare, it is not so simple to hit or even sink a battleship.

On the beach by the sea, a large number of soldiers began to gather on the shore, in addition to the melee arms such as spears, shields, scimitars, a large number of archers engaged in long-range harassment combat, in addition to several elite cavalry teams roaming around.

And with the movement of more than a thousand figures, the entire earth seemed to begin to shake, and the black and oppressive figures slapped mercilessly towards the shore like raging waves.

At the front of the phalanx were hundreds of heavy infantry wearing chain mail and holding thick iron shields. In medieval warfare, heavy infantry was always at the forefront of the war, thick armor and iron shields could greatly enhance their chances of surviving the war, but if you want to carry such equipment to fight, it is impossible to do it without strong endurance.

In the center of the queue is a light-footed, agile archer.

As for the rear of the line, dozens of sturdy infantry pushed the trebuchet forward with difficulty, and the trebuchet in front of him was completely different from the trebuchet that Chopin had seen before, the size was probably several times larger than the latter, and the various materials used for the construction were also more tough.

The stone projectiles fired by the large trebuchets specially designed to conquer the city were far less powerful than the nine-pounder guns carried on the brigs, and the only limitation was their slow filling speed. Of course, the firing range is also far inferior to artillery.

And the three hundred or so cavalry, except for a group of cavalry who still maintained a neat queue, followed behind the army in an orderly manner, and seemed to be ready to charge at any time, the rest of the more than 200 figures were centered on the phalanx, scattered in all directions, guarding against all possible threats around them.

In fact, in the face of so many enemies, Chopin's best response at this time was to rely on the thick walls outside Paris to defend and counterattack.

The walls of Paris were originally tall and thick, but after coming to the other world, they were continuously reinforced, and there were moats to block the opponent's offensive, which can be described as impregnable.

However, in Chopin's view, for the current France, although the group of enemies in front of them is strong, they are far from the point of fortifying the city, and France will only grow stronger and stronger in the fierceness of iron and fire.
