Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

After the outbreak of the civil war, Trochu finally understood how big the power of the commune was. The one hundred and eighty thousand Paris garrison had already lost fifty thousand troops after several consecutive months of fighting.

Putting aside the old, weak, and injured, there were only around a hundred thousand regular soldiers who could fight. These people still had to spread out on the defensive line to defend against the attacks of three hundred thousand Prussian army s.

This time, Trochu relied on his promise of a ceasefire to send 60,000 elites into the city to suppress these crazy thugs.

But what could these sixty thousand people do? All the armed forces of the Paris Commune came out at once, and all the three hundred thousand National Guard began to attack the French army like a tide.

"Forward!" Kill these emperors and capitalists' lackeys! "

"If we want to save the France, we can only rely on ourselves!"

"Don't daydream about the Immortal Emperor, and don't believe in any savior! Only our own power can save the France! "

In the National Guard, the workers' leaders were shouting their battle cries, and all the soldiers started attacking the French army as if they had gotten enough morphine.

Every street and alley became a battlefield of slaughter. People gathered together and charged at the French army with various weapons!

The situation suddenly turned unfavorable for them as the entire city was filled with panicking cavalrymen. The attacks from the garrison unit did not even last an hour before they were firmly suppressed by the entire city's mob.

"Report... The 1st Brigade was attacked by over 20,000 thugs, and the Brigade commander was injured from the bullets, but he still persisted in commanding the battle … "

"Report... The vanguard unit s of the third region were attacked by ten times more enemies than usual, and our tribe could not hold on any longer, and is beginning to retreat towards the Southern Bank s of the Seine … "

"Report... Montmartre plateau's cannons began to shoot … "The enemy used cannons …"

"Look …" The Tuileries' Palace and Louvre had hung the signal for reinforcements, and the enemies were advancing towards the palace … "

General Trochu's face was pale white. Paris had already become a place of confrontation between the north and the south, and because Paris was split into two by the Seine, it had the common name of 'left bank' and 'right bank'.

This name was actually based on the direction of the emperor's seat in the palace. Since the main entrance of the Tuileries' Palace faced the west, then the emperor would sit on the throne with the Southern Bank of the Seine River to his left. That was why the south side of the Seine River was called the left bank.

On the contrary, on the right was the Montmartre plateau, Louvre, Champs-Elysées and other buildings on the north side.

It was a very romantic term for it being the separation of blood and fire. As the National Assembly was placed on the left bank of Paris and the National Assembly was placed inside the Bourbon's palace, General Trochu's defense was focused on the left bank.

During today's crackdown, although there were many areas on the left bank where revolution for the poor had broken out, under the suppression of the superior forces, these rebel troops were dispersed and even expelled to the north bank.

But the right bank of the Seine River was also the northern bank, which was the location of the most important Montmartre plateau camp. This was where the National Guard possessed an overwhelming advantage.

As soon as the civil war began, the French regular army stationed on the right bank was dealt a devastating blow. They were surrounded and attacked by almost ten times the amount of troops, none of them able to withstand an attack of such a scale!

National Guard who was shouting slogans continued to rush upwards wave after wave like a group of ants committing suicide. The highest level Leader of the commune personally participated in the battle.

You can see Wa Erlan brandishing her handgun and charging forward with her troops, you can also see Du Waer and the rest of the lads pushing the Bronze Napoleon Cannon forward with much difficulty!

Female Female Warrior Louis. Michelle even brought the brave community's Female Warrior into the crowd. Every time the figure of Rose on the battlefield appeared on the street, the men would all go crazy and raise their morale!

"Men of the commune cannot let women compete with them! Charge! Charge! "

The reporter from the commune, Shari. With tears in his eyes, Long Ge recorded everything that happened before him. His camera and pen would eventually become a spiritual bayonet aimed at the enemy. He would let this matter continue to flow forever!

Boom! Boom! Boom! The cannon's roar disrupted the formation of the French army, and the corpses were thrown into the air. The French army whose eardrums had been shattered knelt on the ground and wailed in pain.

No matter how much the military officers tried to restore order, it was impossible to do anything.

"Retreat!" Retreat to the left bank! "The engineers ignited the explosives to stop these madmen …"

Boom! Boom! Boom! Engineers had already hidden the explosives in the buildings along the street. The buildings were destroyed one by one, causing smoke and dust to rise into the air. Just at this moment, a large number of French soldiers began to flee towards the south.

Gradually, the battle broke out on the side of the Seine River. Montmartre plateau's territory expanded every block, and the entire northern part of Paris had turned into a sea of red.

Almost all the bridges on the Seine became a stand-off between the two sides. The French troops retreated to the left bank and began piling up sandbags, setting up heavy machine guns and even launching cannons.

Notre Dame Bridge, Double Bridge, New Bridge... It had become the focal point of the confrontation between the two sides. There were more than fifty thousand soldiers on both sides of the river, and it was impossible to see how many of them there were as they sized each other up.

Now that the battle had reached this point, everyone became cautious. The stone bridge was very narrow, and both sides had too many troops. Under the suppression of absolute firepower, whoever attacked first died the most miserably.

National Guard was not stupid, they quickly went along the river bank to form a defensive position, the two sides were already considered as the top!

However, it was also at this time that the Louvre and Tuileries' Palace on the right bank of the Seine raised the signal for help. The one thousand five hundred French regular soldiers garrisoned there had already become an isolated island in the vast ocean.

Behind the exquisite iron barrier, there were many frightened faces. These soldiers still dressed in the uniform of the royal guards, had their rifles pointed at the street outside the palace. Seeing more and more members of the commune ready to make a move, everyone was panicking.

Swallowing his saliva, the soldier shivered and said, "What are they trying to do? We have always been neutral, we were only guards of the palace, we did not participate in this civil war … "

"Shut up, don't talk anymore, they are a bunch of madmen …" They must want to occupy the palace and prove the legitimacy of their regime! "

The Battalion Commander stroked the command blade on his waist, that was the treasure of his family, he would never let his family's honor be shamed!

"First and Second Guard Camp of the Empire …" Brothers of the First Cavalry Battalion! " The commander suddenly stood up. "No matter how the world changes, no matter how chaotic the politics... But don't forget our vows back then! "

"Loyalty is life itself!" From the moment we entered the Guard, our lives were linked with this palace! "

"Anyone who dares to occupy our imperial palace must step over our corpses!"

"Defend with all our might!" We will fight to the last man! "

They wouldn't retreat even if they had to defend with all their might! The three warriors in the defense camp roared out at the same time!
