Chapter 140 French Citizens, Go Forward! (Subscribe plus the fourth update)

“Citizens! Arm yourself!

citizen!Fight to the death!

go ahead!go ahead!
All in one mind!
Destroy all enemies!

............"

With the cooperation of the military band, the officers and soldiers of the Marseille Regiment, who could not see the end of the army in the night, shouted the slightly off-key "March of Marseille" in unison, holding their bayonets straight, as if they completely ignored the Li Wei rebels who were quickly gathering in front of them, and strode forward Welled up.

"The holy Fatherland calls us,

Take revenge on your enemies! "

"Get ready~"

In the singing of the Marseille March, the officer of the infantry guards raised his command knife at the top of his voice and issued the command to prepare.

The infantrymen in the three-row salvo immediately raised their muskets in unison. The first row half-kneeled on the ground, the second row stood, and the third row put their muskets on the shoulders of the soldiers in the second row!
"We long for our precious freedom,

Determined to fight for it!
Determined to fight for it! "

"aim!"

As the singing got closer, the voices of the officers of the infantry guards began to mix with the lyrics of the March of Marseilles.

Legion of Marseilles: "Let us hold high the banner of liberty and march in triumph!"

Guards Infantry Regiment: "Fire!"

Legion of Marseilles: "Let the enemy be under our feet, and listen to our triumphant song!"

bang bang bang...

After a burst of gunfire, the singing of the Marseille March stopped abruptly, because the soldiers singing in front almost fell to the ground at the same time!
Then, under the shocked eyes of the guard infantry officers, these Maasai regiments who had just stopped singing shouted in unison: "Citizens, raise your guns and shoot!"

bang bang bang...

This is the first army, after the Black Dragon Legion fired three volleys at close range, did not collapse immediately or the formation was scattered, and still maintained a uniform rhythm to shoot volleys!
After all, there were few infantrymen rushing in. Even though many enemies were killed in the first round of salvo, a large number of them still fell after this round of salvo.

"Guards, fix bayonets and attack!"

"Citizens of France, mount your bayonets and attack!"

The two troops with unbelievably high morale broke out with earth-shattering shouts of killing almost at the same time, leveled their bayonets, and stabbed them straight.

The moment the two sides came into contact, there was the sound of sharp blades piercing flesh. Personal force became meaningless in this intensive bayonet confrontation!

However, after the hedging was over, the infantry infantry, who had become you among me, immediately began to display their superb bayonet tactics!

And there is a steady stream of infantry guards rushing into the camp behind them to join the battle.

The fighting will of the Marseille Legion once again shocked Karl. Even though they were beaten back by the Guards infantry with crushing bayonet skills, they still collapsed. The voices of citizens rising up could be heard endlessly, and many local battle areas were still echoing. Singing "Marseille March".

Karl, who entered the camp under numerous escorts, couldn't help but exclaimed after seeing this scene: "Are these Maasai people crazy?"

As everyone knows, in the eyes of outsiders, the Black Dragon Army has always been an army composed of lunatics!

However, no matter how high the morale is, it will not work if the strength is not enough. The corpses of the Marseilles covered the entire camp layer by layer. The battalion retreats!

As the number of casualties increased, the Marseille Army finally failed, even though they had already received support from another camp, the Second Army of the Southern Army.

This is because the resistance of the Marseille Legion was very stubborn, and they supported it until their own reinforcements arrived!
However, compared to the Marseille Legion, which was so crazy that it was almost deadly, even if this Second Legion was carefully selected by Arno, it was still useless against the infantry guards. A battalion with one or two casualties collapsed...

When dawn came, the fierce battle between the two sides still did not stop. Arno saw that the retreating troops were full of wounded soldiers. Even the intact soldiers were covered with bloody wounds. It was horrible. The front line was crumbling. The Second Army Corps originally arrived later, but it collapsed before the Marseilles Corps!
Simply incomprehensible!
Unwilling to be defeated, Arnault snatched the French red, white and blue tricolor flag from the flag bearer of a battalion that had just retreated, and at the same time pulled a red, white and blue tricolor flag and wrapped it around himself.

A French revolutionary flag was wrapped around Arnault, and one side was held high by Arnault. As he stepped forward, he shouted fanatically: "French citizens, never retreat!

Citizens, follow me, march on!go ahead!Move on! "

"The moment of decisive battle has arrived. We are united as one and will completely eliminate the enemy!"

As the supreme commander, Arnault came to the front line in person, holding high the national flag representing the will of the revolution. Many defeated soldiers of the Marseilles who had just retreated immediately rushed to follow them with muskets.

There were even soldiers who were seriously injured. After simply bandaging their wounds to stop the bleeding, they endured the pain and kept up with the troops!
Arnault's figure holding the national flag happened to be walking opposite the defeated battle line. The soldiers of the Marseille Legion, who had already lost their stamina, saw Arnault dressed in a 'national flag uniform' and leading the charge with the French tricolor flag held high, and followed him again. !

Send out the last cry in life!

"Liberty, Equality, Fraternity!"

Major General Carl took out his pocket watch and found that the time was past noon, which meant that they had been fighting fiercely for more than 12 hours since midnight yesterday!
All the reserve teams under Major General Karl went to the front line and fought at least three times!
However, when the victory was about to arrive, the opponent rushed up again holding the national flag, bringing along a large group of Marseille soldiers who should have been defeated, and succeeded in 'recharging morale' again...

Karl's face suddenly darkened, and he muttered to himself: "The revolutionary ideas of Free France are too dangerous. I must suggest to Mr. Li Wei that after taking Paris, completely ban the Marseillaise and the French tricolor flag!"

At this time, thanks to some miraculous operations by Arnault, the fighting will of his soldiers was comparable to that of a certain country in later World War II. It was really crazy.

Many soldiers of the Marseilles couldn't find their muskets when they were defeated, so they simply picked up a bench or even a stone, and rushed up with the French tricolor flag!

A fierce battle broke out again and lasted until near dusk in the afternoon. During this period, Karl took the lead in ordering sharpshooters to kill the provocative Arnault. As a result, after Arnault fell, there was a steady stream of soldiers who wanted to take over Arnault. The military flag in hand keeps the French tricolor flag standing!
As a result, the small area where Arnaud's corpse was located became a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood for fierce competition between the two sides!
