18th century total war

Chapter 116 Confident Ambush
"what?
Our team escorting prisoners was hijacked by guerrillas from the Normandy region?

What is the purpose of these guerrillas intercepting the team escorting prisoners?
Those captives had nothing, so would it be possible for them to keep them after they were rescued? "

Major General Carl, who was maintaining military control in Caen, was very puzzled after hearing the report from the people below.

After listening to Senawi, who participated in the small meeting together, he reminded:

"My lord, as far as I know, there were no guerrillas in the original Normandy region. There were only some armed forces drawn up by the extreme Jacobins. They openly supported the political ideas of the Jacobin Club and helped the Jacobin Party to pull people together. , and also privately purchased weapons and equipment to establish a National Guard loyal to the Jacobins.

Those armed men who intercepted and escorted the captives should be these Jacobin thugs!

They should be saving people to expand their own team. "

Karl turned suspiciously to Senawi, and he blurted out, not knowing much about politics, "How many forces does your revolutionary government in Paris have?"

Senawi's face was embarrassed, and he thought for a while and replied: "I know about three kinds.

The first type is big capitalists and bankers like me, that is, a group that represents the interests of industry and commerce. People like us are only united in order to maintain equal rights for industry and commerce. We have many seats in the Legislative Assembly, but we don’t intervene too much. The partisan thing.

The second type is the constitutional monarchy faction headed by liberal aristocrats such as Lafayette. They are parties that support the coexistence of the king and the constitution, and they follow the British system.

The third type is the folk forces represented by Jacobin. These folk forces are heterogeneous, but the number of participants is the largest. They have mastered many newspapers, have a huge influence on public opinion, and even have a government independent of the government. civilian armed forces.

However, there are also different parties within Jacobin, and they cooperate and compete with each other.

It's just that now that Jacobin is not in power, he has a common enemy, the constitutional monarchists, as his target.

The first group I belong to belongs to the neutral faction, and the Paris government mainly fights for power and profit from the second and third groups.

Those who escaped from Kanol belonged to the second force. "

"Forget it, the internal affairs of the Paris government have nothing to do with me. Lord Li Wei will arrive in Caen soon, and the prisoners of war here in Caen do not need to be transported to Rennes."

Karl blinked, not understanding what was going on with the tripartite forces of the Paris government, so he simply didn't think about these things he was not good at.

The next day, in the woods beside an official road in the Normandy region, a group of Jacobin National Guards with thousands of people, led by Fatis, patiently lurked.

After Captain Wright found Fatis, he asked very puzzled: "Sir, who are we going to ambush this time? Putting on such a big battle."

"I just got a report that the demon Li Wei is rushing to Caen with his guards. We are going to intercept Li Wei here. If we can kill him, France will usher in true unity!

And by spreading this achievement, the Jacobins in Paris will definitely be able to drive out those constitutional monarchists who are eating vegetarian meals! "

The intelligence of this team has always been a single line of contact between Fatis and the people of the Jacobin Club, so Captain Wright did not know about their combat mission until now.

After Captain Wright heard such explosive news, his body trembled suddenly, and he looked at Fatis in horror: "We, more than 1000 people, want to ambush Levi's team?
Li Wei is surrounded by the elite of his Black Dragon Legion! "

"so what?
The people led by Jacobin are all warriors who are willing to sacrifice their lives for the revolution, and this time I also got the support of hundreds of muskets, and with the original reserves, I can have a musket in each hand , how could it fail? "

Captain Wright looked at Fatis with a confident face, and he didn't spit out a mouthful of old blood.

How the hell did you analyze that you must win?
Captain Wright took a deep breath and asked as calmly as possible: "Sir Fatis, do you know how many soldiers are around Li Wei?"

"The exact number is unclear. It is said that Levi took away all the Black Dragon Legion soldiers in Rennes City."

Captain Wright couldn't help but feel dizzy after hearing this. Although he didn't know how many Black Dragon Legion soldiers were stationed in Rennes City, even if the opponent only had one battalion, he could still defeat his Jacobin citizens who were poorly trained and had average morale. The Self-Defense Forces beat me so hard that I didn’t even recognize my own mother...

Captain Wright still has this bit of military knowledge!

Fatis' subordinates may have been more enthusiastic by the Jacobins, but the rescued prisoners generally suffered from black dragon symptoms. As long as they saw the evil flag of the black dragon army, their morale would drop by half!
The remaining half is reserved for running around!

And more than 1000 people under Fatis' command, more than half of them are rescued prisoners of war...

After noticing Captain Wright's strange expression, Fatis said coldly: "What?

Your revolutionary faith has been shaken? "

Captain Wright quickly straightened his face and replied solemnly: "I believe that under the leadership of Chief Fatis and Jacobin, we will be invincible!"

"Very well, go down and restrain your soldiers, Li Wei's team is probably coming soon."

Captain Wright nodded heavily and was about to get up and leave when he suddenly heard a series of gunshots not far away.

Afterwards, Captain Wright saw the direction of the gunshot, and several figures hiding in the trees fell down.

"Enemy attack!"

The screams had become meaningless. The Fatis team who heard the gunshots and saw the corpses knew that something was wrong.

They got up from the ground with high morale but panic, and swarmed towards the direction of the gunfire.

The morale is really high, and it is too late for ordinary people to hide their guns, but this group of people rushed over on their own initiative!

Fatis even shouted loudly and enthusiastically: "For freedom, equality, and fraternity!"

People around him echoed, "Freedom, equality, fraternity, or die!"

Such are the revolutionary slogans emanating from the city of Paris...

Unpretentious and boring!
The shouts of killing once overwhelmed the gunshots, and then Captain Wright heard the familiar gunshots like popping beans.

That's right, this is the elite soldiers of the Black Dragon Legion firing their guns!
'Ambush your balls!
Before he saw Li Wei's figure, Li Wei's soldiers spotted him and attacked him. He was still playing ambushes at this level! '

Captain Wright cursed in his heart, how could he still have the mood to resist with his own troops?
Taking advantage of Fatis's group's foreheads being congested and actively dying, attracting the attention of the Black Dragon Legion, the figure of Captain Wright has disappeared into the woods...
