C3291 Battle of the Dark Dawn (1/2)
The bells of Notre Dame rang out mournfully once again. This time, it was not the monks who summoned the faithful to mass, but the members of the commune who discovered the movement of the enemy in the darkest moment before dawn.
Marshal McMahon drew a total of eleven huge arrows on the huge city defense map of Paris, coming from all directions. Except, of course, for the demilitarized zone of the Shapele Gate... Attack the city from all directions.
McMahon did not put in all his forces, he had only put in a hundred and ten thousand, which was the total strength of eleven heavy infantry divisions!
Thiers and the other officials had carefully reminded the Marshal that there were three hundred thousand trained National Guard thugs and millions of poor people supporting him.
However, the Marshal firmly rejected their doubts. ”War is not a mathematical game for you to think about. It is not something that can be won just by counting the number of troops you have!”
”The army needs morale, organization and coordination …” A company with excellent teamwork could easily contend with a loose infantry unit, and even create miracles in battle! ”
”Ten thousand thugs might not be enough to break through the formation formed by a thousand elite soldiers!”
”Make money, you professionals!” I am an expert in war! ”
McMahon was the last hope of Thiers and the rest, and now, no matter how despotic the Field Marshal was, he had to endure. They could only watch as the hundred thousand veteran soldiers attacked before dawn.
Eleven silent battalions began to move toward the predetermined area, the artillery of the troops moving forward under the guidance of the innumerable Thomas.
The vanguard troops soon engaged the roaming commune sentries, and gunfire erupted throughout Paris in the night!
This was a total attack without any warning. Other than the sleepless Raoult Rigo, all the other Community Leader s were in the dark!
Even Wa Erlan, Du Waer and the others were all drunk last night!
”Immediately ring the bell of Notre Dame...” Then the whole city will be alerted... ”Quick, quick, quick …”
Raoult Rigo sprinted along the street and only found a few war horses after he had passed the Sai Na River. He was practically using his life to buy time for the commune, and at this moment, he could smell the scent of despair.
”The enemies are different, this attack is not those useless bastards …” It must be the French Emperor's army! ”
”And it was filled with a murderous aura. It is very possible that the French Emperor himself was commanding …”
”Comrades! Now, those royalist party were about to be restored! We do not think so! ”
Dang Dang Dang … The ringing of the bell woke up countless members of the guild from their slumber!
Within the commune, there was a complete system of police alarms. There were alarm bells and lights in every block, and they had their own knocks and tolls. There were even lighting signal s.
What Raoult Rigo released was the highest level of final battle bell chime. This time, the entire city was in an uproar!
Dressed members rushed out onto the street. Some of them were buttoning their buttons while running. There were even some who ran to the door before putting on their pants!
Men and women in a mess stuck their heads out the window. ”What's the matter?” What happened? ”
”Alarm bell, the alarm bell of Notre Dame has rung. It's the general command to attack …”
”What kind of joke is this? Those weaklings have long been scared of us, and they even dare to attack us at five in the morning …”
