C3296 The cavalry charge (1/2)

”It's been exposed!” The enemy's artillery position has finally been exposed! ”

When the former enemy headquarters of Third Division encountered this barrage of cannons, not only did they not panic, they were even excited!

In the hearts of these officers, although artillery shelling had caused a certain number of casualties, the greatest threat of exposure was still worth celebrating!

”Great, there was no deviation in our information. The enemy hid the cannons in the Sorbonne, inside the Sorbonne!”

”Attack!” The guards, cavalry, reserve troops, charge! ”After annihilating this artillery position, there will be no more threats in the entire street of St. Michel!”

”Tell the young men that they are the last pride of the Imperial cavalry! ”Don't disappoint the king, don't let these thugs laugh at the end!”

There were more than ten thousand people in Third Division, and they had only put half of their forces into it. However, what were the rest of the troops doing?

All of them were in reserve, waiting for the cannons controlled by the commune to fire!

Cannon soldiers were the gods of war, these were Napoleon's exact words! The modern man could no longer feel how important the cannons were, because the appetite of the 21st century people had long been fed by more black technology weapons.

There was already an atomic bomb during the second war, and the large caliber and naval gun s exceeded 400 mm. A single shell could destroy an entire building!

Compared to entering the new century, the advent of intelligent weapons has improved the efficiency of human internecine fighting by many times!

Under this kind of background, ordinary people would feel that these old-fashioned cannons were no big deal!

In addition to the movies, television, the internet and other media, the weapons of the future, Star Wars and the like that greatly expanded the human imagination!

However, people nowadays were different from the ancient people. If one analyzed any problem, they should jump to the ancient people's environment to think about it!

What are the cannons at the end of nineteenth century? At that time, the cannons were just like the nuclear weapons and missiles of today. They were strategic weapons and the most important weapons of the country!

These words are a bit heavy? Absolutely not!

In that era, there was no weapon that was more powerful than cannons. As the king of all weapons systems, he was the brightest diamond on the crown of war!

Furthermore, at the level of science and technology used by humans at that time, cannon technology had always been a unique skill of a few industrial countries. That was the most important commodity!

Germany's export of a set of large caliber naval gun to the world was more than enough for a mid-sized British spinning mill to produce such a profit!

So, cannon manufacturing at that time was like the chip industry of the 21st century, biopharmaceutical, new energy, internet... And so on and so forth the frontier violence industry is the same, belongs to the true national pillar industry!

In the brutal battlefield where servants were ordered to fill in the gaps, who had cannons and who didn't have cannons, the result was completely different!

The Franco-Prussian War lasted all the way to the First World War. Human wars were all about who had more cannons, who had bigger caliber, who produced faster.

At the end of nineteenth century, no one dared to underestimate the power of cannons, and it was because of this that Thiers desperately wanted to attack the artillery positions of the commune and steal the cannons of the commune.

And today, these old veterans of the empire who came from the POW camp would definitely not neglect this killing machine, the cannon. They would rather use half of their troops as reserves and wait until the cannons start firing.

The sounds of gunfire finally rang out, and a large part of the charging Foreign Legion s were killed, the attacking tide had been firmly blocked by the barricades on the fourth street, and this gave the commune a chance to take a breather and start reconstructing their defenses.

”Our cannons are fighting back! Don't be afraid! ”Guard here, and don't move an inch!”

”Fire!” Kill these executioners! Fire! ”

Boom … Boom! Boom! Boom …

Amidst the rumbling of the cannons, the invading government troops sought cover to avoid the attack, and the battlefield entered a stalemate.
