King's Landing in France

Chapter 212 "Long Live Henry IV" and "Ode to Rome"

Napoleon's artillery was well-informed.

This group of people was led by Napoleon, and they maneuvered under the noses of Nima's enemies. They almost fired in the face of the Austrian army. Their courage has long been practiced.

What is it that the royalist thugs are so close at hand, can they be more terrifying than the murderous Austrians?
While the gunners were reloading in an orderly manner, someone in the mob shouted: "Come on, don't let them finish reloading!"

So the rabble, who had been discouraged by the cannon, began to advance again.

At this moment, a precision shooter company arranged by An Ning appeared on the roof next to it.

The precision shooters were lying on the roof, and the first wave of guns brought down the little poker who rushed to the front.

The thugs in the square were thrown into disarray by this sudden change. Some people turned their guns and fired at the roof.

But the precision shooters were all lying on the roof. The area of ​​​​the bullets was originally small, and it was dark and snowing heavily. The scattered shooting had no effect at all.

The breech-loading guns of the shooters immediately finished reloading again, and the second round of guns came again.

Because of the darkness, this round of guns basically ran towards the people holding the torches. Many torches fell to the ground, and then because the crowd huddled together, the torches fell directly on other people.

For a moment, screams and chaos enveloped the royal party in the square.

At this point the cannon was loaded.

Napoleon excitedly ordered: "Fire!"

This wave of bombardment directly broke the morale of the Royal Party—they had no morale at all, and they just took to the streets under a blind enthusiasm for the royal family.

They started running backwards, throwing away their torches one after another.

The screams of the people who were burned by the torches of the "friendly army" echoed throughout the square.

The sound of horseshoes like torrential rain came from the other side of the square, and Lasalle's cavalry formed a moving wall and appeared on the other side of the square.

The roar of the horseshoes swept across the entire square like a huge wave.

An Ning shouted: "Stop the fire! Stop the fire! People on the roof stop the fire! Don't accidentally hurt your own people!"

The gunfire gradually subsided, but this made the groans and mourning in the square more prominent.

An Ning: "La Salle!"

Lasalle responded loudly: "Just drive away, not kill, I know! I told my boys not to even draw their sabers!"

An Ning nodded, and then gave an order to Napoleon: "Give this to the supply troops and let them rescue the wounded. We will immediately move our position."

Napoleon: "Where are you going?"

"Of course it is the Tuileries Palace. Today we are going to take down the culprit."

Napoleon: "This...or if you command the overall situation, I will go for you."

"No, no, not only I'm going, I'm going to take Christina with me."

**
Christina looked very haggard. She was sent by An Ning to perform surveillance tasks near the Tuileries Palace, because her court knight uniform looked conspicuous at night and would not be attacked by mobs.

Christina looked at An Ning: "How did things become like this?"

An Ning: "I wrote to warn Mr. Equality, and he should have returned to the Royal Palace for refuge by now."

Christina: "I know. I mean Your Majesty...my brother. What will happen to him?"

An Ning fell silent.

To be honest, he was a little skeptical that a French king would also die in the history here. Since the locksmith had gone to his wife's natal home, it was Louis XVII who should die.

Although he is now the Paris security commander, if he insists on protecting the head of Louis XVII, he will probably be able to save it.

It's a pity that An Ning didn't have much of an impression of this Louis XVII. He remembered that 12 years ago, when he had just crossed over and rescued Christina, when the Duke of Orleans was entertaining a dinner party, there was a young man at the table.

In the next five years, An Ning made friends with Napoleon in the military academy, and later he entered the Military Academy in Paris. After graduation, he worked as a mathematics teacher at the university, and basically never met the son of the Duke of Orleans.

Whether to use her reputation to save this kid, An Ning has not yet decided.

Let's see how he behaves when we enter the Tuileries Palace later.

Christina: "So, what are you going to do? The royalists are surrounding the Tuileries Palace, and they have weapons..."

Napoleon: "Don't worry, we have this."

As he spoke, he pointed to the cavalry cannon next to him.

The gunners had unloaded their cannons and aimed at the Tuileries.

Christina: "Are you really going to use the cannon in the city?"

Napoleon shrugged: "Didn't you hear the cannon just now? It's in Revolution Square not far from here."

"Is that the sound of cannons?" Christina was so startled that she couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear. "I thought it was thunder! I wondered why there was thunder when there was so much snow today!"

An Ning: "Christina, the use of cannons is actually to reduce the casualties of the people, because the prestige of cannons can effectively destroy their determination and will."

Napoleon: "That's right! The enemy collapsed at once, but with fewer casualties. If we use muskets and bayonets to suppress, I'm afraid we will die several times!"

Christina was about to speak when Lana rode over.

Napoleon joked: "Our apprentices in the dyeing workshop can ride horses!"

Lana: "I'm still not used to riding a horse, but hell, I have to run around in the dark and command troops. It's really difficult without this thing. We have surrounded the Tuileries Palace, and there are hundreds or thousands of royalists in the palace , they swore to live and die with the king. What should we do?"

Lana was born as a commoner, so he probably couldn't bear to do anything to the royal party, who was also a commoner.

An Ning: "I'll go in first to persuade you to surrender..."

Before he finished speaking, a soldier nearby shouted: "Who is it?"

An Ning turned her head to look in the direction where the shout came from, only to see a large number of Parisians driving towards them with torches and tricolor flags held high.

Some people shouted: "Long live the Republic! Long live Robespierre! Long live Jacobin! Long live General Frost!"

An Ning couldn't close her mouth.

Although this group is holding the tricolor flag and wearing red Liberty hats, it is so dark and snowing now that it is impossible to recognize them!
From a distance, it looks the same as Wang Dang.

An Ning suddenly thought of singing "Long Live Henry IV" just now when the royal party attacked, so he shouted loudly: "I am Frost, the commander of Paris security, and I cannot recognize each other in the dark. I order you to sing "Ode to Rome" , Prevent accidental injury!"

Without waiting for the people to respond, An Ning turned his head and ordered to his troops: "Everyone has it, sing the Roman hymn!"

The Roman hymn, that is, the melody of the Marseillaise, immediately resounded through the night sky.

At this time, some place caught fire, and the entire night sky of Paris was illuminated by flames.

The swirling snow was coated with a layer of blood by the flames.
