"For my king!" "WAAAAAAAGH..." Along with the earth-shattering shouts of the march, the stormy drums and bugles; dense clouds of smoke from cannons like rolling thunder rising straight up, and huge roars exploding inside and outside the city walls.
, resounding in every corner of the city.
Thousands of families in Seine City were also crying and shouting on the streets. They scrambled to close their doors and windows and blocked them with all the heavy objects they could find. Then they hugged and shivered with their families, weeping at each other, and waited.
It will soon become a war zone, or be plundered by the victors.
However, not many people poured into the streets as expected, and quickly built barricades to protect their communities. Even the city officials and members of the police station smashed the doors one by one, making loud noises, trying to summon people.
They tried their best, but were counterattacked by falling objects from high altitude.
They could only run away covered in filth or with bloody stench; and after passing a few blocks, most of the officials and security guards who had been hastily summoned and mobilized had no idea when they had escaped.
Only a handful of diehards were left shouting and threatening at the top of their lungs.
In fact, after the coups and turbulence of the capital's successive government changes, coupled with the massacres of the five great dukes after they came to the capital, until the Burgundian dynasty counterattacked and calculated, all factions were brutally purged and tyrannically suppressed; the truly rebellious spirit
People have already died or escaped.
Most of the remaining residents of Seine City are the extremely poor who are struggling for the last bit of livelihood under the high-pressure rule of the dynasty; a large part of them are even foreigners who have been moved to the capital in recent years, and even people from
A vassal of Burgundy's homeland.
Therefore, even if the remaining municipal officials and security guards continue to threaten and intimidate, they have not been able to change the result of running into obstacles everywhere. There are also some people who broke into the deep streets and alleys of the slums, or where the lower class people usually gather.
tavern and never came out.
However, after being easily breached the city defenses, the lower city was basically undefended; there were even a few armed men emerging from the streets to actively maintain order; the bridges and intersections belonging to the outer ring area were blocked;
The city defense troops rushed in and quickly took over.
Of course, unlike the National Guards, the predecessors of these city defense armies, which were composed of property owners and the wealthy class, most of today's city defense armies are military organizations filled with aristocratic children, private soldiers and guards in the upper city.
Therefore, it is better than the police station in terms of fighting will.
While they were frantically rushing into the nearest houses and shops, brandishing knives and guns to intimidate and threaten everything they saw, they violently snatched away everything that could be used to set up defense lines and temporary fortifications; at the same time, they set fire to try to burn down both sides of the bridge, possibly being
A built-up area exploited by the enemy.
At the same time, they are also responsible for the cover and support of long-range projections, constantly knocking down sporadic enemies emerging in the streets, or shooting down and killing those crossbowmen who lurk in the heights of buildings for sneak attacks. A small number of grenadiers are responsible for
Deal with enemies who try to hide in buildings and cannot get out.
They slashed, slapped and stabbed each other's spears, sabers and straight swords head-on; in the fierce metal collision, only insignificant scratches were left, and they easily cut one side.
They were cut off in succession by the swinging sword, moon-blade axe, and long-handled sword.
In the blink of an eye, the ground on the bridge barricade was full of severed and smashed limbs, with blood and organs splashed everywhere. Then, the white soldiers and musketeers who followed closely from the other side rushed across in one go.
This short stone bridge used spears, swords, shields and lead bullets to sweep away the remaining enemies.
Use accurately thrown gunpowder bombs or incendiary bombs to turn these hidden threats into burning torches, or collapse them under ruins. They will not rise until they encounter solid fortifications and buildings on the streets.
Flags or whistles were blown to call for support from the rear.
However, more engineering squadrons carrying equipment and equipment, and the artillery groups pushed by the horse-drawn troops of the strike company also crossed the bridge and began to work on the spot to establish temporary strongholds. At this time, the knight group responsible for opening the breakthrough was
Replaced for brief trimming and restoration.
They also continued to drive away and beat down those people who tried to escape into the inner ring area to seek shelter; they even used the shield walls and spears that blocked the bridge deck to push away these poor crying people one after another.
Pushed and squeezed into the river, it turned into a ball of struggling and rippling water.
Just when these city defense troops were suddenly attacked and hurriedly wanted to retreat to the bridge, they raised their weapons and looked around in panic, looking for possible enemies; more shrill screams and whines came from behind them
, and there were uproar and frightening shouts of fighting...
And those archers and crossbowmen from the city defense army who were arranged on the buildings near the bridgehead only had time to fire one round in a hurry. Then, they were knocked down and fell down by the inheritance knights who rushed below; in the blink of an eye,
, the intersection into the outer ring area is now open.
The role of the attacker has also become ordinary soldiers advancing along the streets. The white soldiers in armor are leading the way, holding swords and shields; half-armored spearmen follow on both sides to prevent surprise attacks in the horizontal alleys.
The musketeers with breastplates and helmets, and a few grenadiers were protected in the center.
However, this situation did not last long; suddenly, the city defense soldiers gathered on the bridge screamed and burst into pieces. As the first special attack company to break through the sharp knife, the inheritance of the team leading the attack was
The knights have also rushed nearby.
However, there was already a group of heritage knights wearing thick plate armor, and they had already crossed the seven-eight-meter-wide river at some point. Then, these tall and well-protected iron cans emerged from the smashed and collapsed buildings.
After rushing out again, it became a nightmare for these city defenders.
And at these enemies blocking the way, they fired shotguns or threw increased amounts of heavy gunpowder bombs. Then, these fleeing people who were mixed in the battlefield also screamed like they were waking up from a dream,
They fled in all directions and jumped into the river in panic.
At this time, the following wheeled short-barreled mountain cannons, as well as the shotgun cannons juxtaposed on trolleys, will be pushed directly to the forefront under the cover of shield walls and baffles; they will roar and spit out scorching heat.
The ball bullets and loose pellets can easily penetrate and tear apart all enemy formations.
At the same time, chaos and disintegration occurred unsurprisingly in the enemy's rear; however, the revised and replenished knight squad relied on their superior physical fitness and explosive power to easily bypass the enemy from the blind angle above the building.
line of defense, and began to massacre.
Therefore, just one morning later, the furthest front of the Free Army that entered the city had already broken into the junction of the inner ring area and the outer ring area. The entire right bank and a small part of the left bank of the outer ring area were
It was completely enveloped in the roar of smoke and fire from the attack.
And here, the defensive operations dominated by the city defense army were almost completely defeated and beyond control. But at this time, on the Lumière Bridge, a strategic point on the edge of the inner ring area; the Free Army soldiers who marched straight in,
We also encountered the fiercest resistance and the first defeat.
