"General, now that Paris is in danger, should we save it or not?" asked Desai anxiously. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Now, once Paris is lost, the Marais government will immediately replace the royal family's prestige in the hearts of the common people. And the survival of the French royal family is also directly related to Briand's development in France. Desai was always aware of this, so he, like Brion, expressed absolute support for the defense of the royal family.

"General, although MacDonald's 400 men are extremely strong in combat, they can hold Paris for three or four days at most, and our enemy is a mob of 20,000!"

Brion nodded worriedly: "The problem now is really tricky, the remaining troops in France, except for the royal family's dragoons, are basically equal to waste wood." Even with the addition of our 400 reinforcements, it is just a wall in front of the artillery, which will be breached sooner or later. ”

"Why don't we leave for Paris now?"

"It's useless, even if we set off now, we won't be able to catch up with the start of the war. At that moment, Brion suddenly had an idea: "By the way, our distance from Paris does not mean that the army under our control is far from Paris." ”

"You mean the first and third divisions?" Desai blurted out with some excitement.

Ever since Desai officially became Brion's subordinate, Brion has been on the lookout for developing and growing Desai's power. Not only did he hand over the Iron Guard, but he also told him all his confidential property, even the secret organization Skynet. And the political secrecy of the 1st and 3rd Divisions, Brion did not hide anything from them.

"That's right. ”

"But now all the French armies are out of control, and these two divisions belong to the Rhine Corps, which are stationed near the Jura Mountains. Even if we were able to mobilize them, there would be no way to inform them. ”

"Who said there was no way? Do you remember our Skyweb?" Brion pulled out a brown spider web-shaped badge from his pocket, but unlike the normal members, there was a spider embedded in the badge.

"Is this?" Desai carefully took the badge from Brion's hand,

Brion smiled and patted Desai on the shoulder: "In the future, you will be the third leader of the Skynet Intelligence Organization, and there are people from our Skynet in the first division." I sowed the seeds of Skynet all over Europe a year ago, and it only takes a day at most for you to use Skynet to convey the message to the First Division. ”

"Understood!"

Just as Desai saluted and went out, Brion instructed: "By the way, send someone to inform MacDonald that you must unite with the French defenders to hold out for three days." Let's just say we're already on our way, and let him wait for reinforcements in three days!"

"Okay. ”

。。。。。。。。

On 29 May, Marais and the rebel leader Clough led 20,000 rebels to launch a formal assault on the defenders of Paris.

Although the rebels were mostly made up of peasants and workers, a large amount of weapons and ammunition had been prepared a year ago for the long-planned Marais rebels. And these soldiers have been trained by veterans for a period of time, and they have the ability to fight on the battlefield.

Although it is not as good as the legionnaires, the rebels are still absolutely sure of the local defenders whose combat strength is like air.

Although the rebels had the advantage in firepower and numbers, MacDonald's guards took advantage of the terrain to basically pin down the rebels outside Paris. As MacDonald took advantage of his spare time, he prepared so carefully that at the time of the arrival of the enemy army. Two miles from Paris there were three or four fortified fortresses.

In addition, MacDonald also made full use of the firenet tactics taught by Brion, as well as the powerful Ferguson rifle. The infantry were divided into four groups of fifty men each, and each of them held the bastions in almost the same line of sight, and the passage into Paris ended here. So much so that Macdonald's defensive zone became the key to the survival of the whole of Paris.

While the rebels continued to attack the guards, MacDonald's cavalry troops also harassed the attention of the rebels. The cavalry corps that has been rigorously trained by Brion is all masters who are not afraid of death, and charging into battle and penetrating into the enemy formation are things that can be done in minutes. And these poor military literacy and their lack of mob were able to withstand the powerful attack of the cavalry, and the guards could kill hundreds of enemy soldiers in a single attack.

The two sides fought fiercely from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and finally Marais ordered his men to firing a few figurative shots before the battle ended. Among them, the Marais rebels launched more than 30 large-scale attacks with thousands of men, but this deadly charge not only failed to eat hundreds of defenders in one go, but lost thousands of soldiers.

In just a few hours of fighting, the Marais army took out almost all of their homes. The number of troops and ammunition consumed was almost dozens of times that of the guards, but even so, the rebels still did not make any progress.

In the course of the battle, MacDonald's cavalry captured dozens of rifles, and took advantage of the enemy's inattention to sneak attack the artillery position, hacking dozens of rebels to death in one go, and then swaggering to pull a few small steel cannons out of the battlefield, and there were actually zero casualties.

As the clock ticked into the night, several waves of small numbers of enemies exchanged fire with the guards inside the fortress, and the two sides actually fell into a stalemate. After a day of fierce fighting, the infantry was obviously greatly reduced in combat effectiveness due to fatigue, and the cavalry was also overwhelmed and unable to fight.

At this time, in the Malmaison headquarters next to the station, a bad news came from Paris.

"What?!

The richly dressed guard turned pale, and MacDonald presumably Louis XVI had sent him to deliver the message, but Louis XVI did not tell him when he would escape. By the time the soldier came to his senses, however, the great Louis XVI had already fled Paris.

Before MacDonald could react, worse news came: "The Guards have held back more than thirty charges of the rebels in one day, and there is now a clear shortage of ammunition due to the logistical inadequacy of the Guards! If the enemy continues to launch a suicidal attack, then we will hold Paris for three days at most with our current firepower." ”

MacDonald almost fainted, but the advantage of the guards in holding Paris was the accuracy of the soldiers' shooting and their firepower. If there is a shortage of ammunition, then the strong fortress will be useless, and with 400 guards against tens of thousands of rebels, or hand-to-hand combat, this is obviously the rhythm of death.

Besides, Louis XVI was gone, and he took all the royal guards with him. Now it's good, there is no hope in the source of soldiers, only weapons and ammunition are left.

Is this king two hundred and five, he wants us to hold Paris, and he actually ran away. This waste wood not only ran away, but also cut off the way of life for the defenders. Is this teasing?, MacDonald thought angrily and helplessly, cursing that the coward had better fall and die on the road.

But the most important thing is how to stop the onslaught of the rebels.

MacDonald shook his hand: "How is it, are all the supplies and ammunition in the Paris arsenal still there?"

His tone was expectant, after all, he did not dare to expect that he would find anything in Paris.

"Our soldiers have gone to see it, and all the military supplies in Paris have been taken away by Louis XVI. Most of the ones that were not taken away, according to the citizens who saw them, were blown up. Now only the remains of a warehouse are there. The adjutant said with some heaviness.

"It's all gone! Hundreds of thousands of bullets! There are more than a thousand guns!"

MacDonald almost fainted in anger, this Louis XVI was either an idiot or a brain-dead.

In the early morning of May 30, the rebel commander Clough personally organized a charging death squad of nearly 900 men to lead the charge after a burst of gunfire.

These daredevils are no ordinary rebel soldiers, almost all of them are professional soldiers carefully trained by Marlai, and their experience in war is not ambiguous at all. Its combat effectiveness is also quite amazing, and it can basically be said to be Marai's guards.

After a day of fierce fighting, the guards, who were short of ammunition, still put up desperate resistance inside the fortress. More than 200 people almost repelled a dozen charges from the death squads, killing nearly 300 people, and then got a temporary rest. However, the enemy had no intention of stopping, and after two hours of the armistice, the three thousand rebels launched a storm-like attack, and although countless men fell in the face of powerful fire, there were still soldiers rushing forward.

"It's an endless battle!" MacDonald looked at the sea of people with his binoculars, and couldn't imagine the madness of the enemy.

Just after noon, the exhausted guards had to face thousands of enemies.

In the endless sea of people, a fortress was breached by the rebels, and dozens of guards were killed. MacDonald was also disappointed by the efficiency of the cavalry army, and the rebels seemed to have learned how to guard against cavalry raids, with more than half of the cavalry still on the battlefield yesterday losing more than half at once.

In the evening, MacDonald had to abandon two forts and garrison more than a hundred guards on the most important central fort. The cavalry had lost its usefulness, most of the horses had been eaten due to food shortages, and only a few cavalry kept their horses but only used them as messengers.

Looking at the blood-red sunset, MacDonald sat back in the swivel chair again, and looked at the note sent by Briand yesterday: The Guards have completely annihilated the southern rebels and are rushing to Paris to support, and it is necessary to hold Paris for four days.

"Do you want us to die here?" MacDonald turned around: "Leo, keep sending people to the Duke's troops, they should be very close to Paris, go!"

"But we've already sent three men. ”

"I told you, send me another one!"

"Yes!"

。。。。。。。。。

"Why it's been two days, and Paris hasn't been captured for me yet!" a man with a red beard looked angrily at the simple map of Paris: "General Klew, your work efficiency is too low." ”

"President Marlai, I have done my best, but 。。。。。 A man in a military uniform nodded resignedly.

Marais lit a cigar in displeasure: "A total of 400 defenders, can't we take 20,000 people? Sooner or later, European countries will send troops to help the royal family, and it will be more dangerous to rule France one day later, and I must launch a general attack tomorrow!"

"Yes!"
