"Open fire!"

Milt, the Royal Guard officer, who was waving his command knife and wearing a gorgeous military uniform that was enough to charm the girl, hoarsely commanded the musket company led by him and shot at the Vienna Revolutionary Army above the city.

Under the high morale of the Palace Guards, they advanced to a very close distance, which allowed the flintlock smoothbore rifle to fully exert its best lethality (that is, the hit deviation is not very large, usually within 50 meters to 80 meters, which fluctuates according to the quality of the musket, but it does not guarantee a 100% hit rate. If you want to reach a hit rate of more than 90%, you must learn from the British lobster soldiers within 30 meters of the advance path. During the European War, you rarely have to be so desperate except for important battles).

After the first round of volleys, Milt shouted again: "Free shooting, cover the siege troops!"

The volley at such a close distance was quite good. The revolutionary soldiers with half of their bodies exposed on the wall dozens of meters wide fell one after another, and those who did not fall were scared and retracted into the corner.

At this time, the poor military literacy of the Vienna Revolutionary Army soldiers was fully reflected. The civilians who were temporarily armed did not know how to dodge at all. Many people's guns were not standard. Basically, they would do whatever they could...

The frequency of loading is even less pity. Many Vienna armed civilians use flintlock rifles, but they fire the rate of fire of the flintlock rifle. It takes more than one minute to load a bullet!

This is still a psychological quality. Many armed civilians who were frightened by corpses, blood and wails were trembling with muskets. Not to mention loading in one minute, ten minutes passed, he was still wandering in the "loading state"...

This led to the fact that the number of revolutionary soldiers on the city was significantly greater than that of the Royal Guards, and there were more guns than the opposite side, and they also had the advantage of being condescending. The firepower was actually suppressed by the Royal Guards!

Fortunately, Aren is very familiar with the fighting will of such armed civilians, and the supervisors and military police have been prepared behind the city wall defense line.

Aren set up all the revolutionary backbone leaders as supervisors. They have almost unlimited supervising power on the battlefield, and the military police are the armed forces directly led by the supervisors, responsible for implementing military disciplines on the battlefield!

Of course, this does not mean that the supervisor and the military police are the same organization. Aren dare not hand over too much power to those Austrian free parties. They may be willing to revolution, but may not be willing to accept his dictatorship, let alone accept the "future allies" relationship with France.

The most critical step in the Lindenwan plan was that the helmsman of the Lindenwan Brotherhood, who was released by the Secret Spies Department, immediately established a revolutionary republic after successfully overthrowing the regime of European powers, and took advantage of the title of revolutionary justice to ascend to the throne of president and control the power of the state.

Then, in the name of rest and recuperation, he led the revolutionary country to seek peace with France. Under the pressure of the French Empire's army, the revolutionary regime naturally had reasonable excuses to cede land and pay compensation!

Compensation can be saved, but cenitation must be carried out!

If he wanted to execute such an order, Aren naturally did not dare to let those Austrian free party members who were not brainwashed take too much power.

Now the best of them are just to unite all the strengths.

After all, the Austrian free party and the monarchy of the Austrian Empire are mortal enemies, and there are many revolutionary backbones in the Austrian free party who are not afraid of sacrifice, and these people are willing to really fight to the death.

With a bang, a supervising officer held a flintlock gun in his hand and shot a armed citizen who was lying in the corner of the wall with a serious face and threw his own musket aside. Then he shouted at the other armed citizens who were looking at him: "Everyone raised his gun to fight back. Those who were afraid of the enemy on the battlefield will be killed without mercy!"

As soon as the supervisor finished speaking, the military policemen from the Austrian Liberal Party, who were also from the Austrian Liberal Party, raised their guns to target the lazy armed citizens.

In order to defend Vienna, Eren also delegated a lot of powers to allow wartime supervisors to select their familiar companions from the gendarmerie.

Of course, because the power of the supervising fighter is too great, Eren strictly stipulates that the supervising fighter is only a temporary position during the war and will be banned immediately after the battle is over.

Moreover, since many military police followed the supervisor and followed the command of the supervisor, Eren deliberately did not set up the military commander of the military police force, and planned to reorganize the military police force after the battle and insert his own confidant into it.

Arain knew that after this battle, the status of the military police in the revolutionary army would inevitably be greatly improved, and war was the easiest way for ordinary soldiers to understand that the military police were terrible.

Under the shock of the supervising officer's murder, the armed civilians had to bite the bullet and stand up again and open fire at the Royal Austrian Guards, who were setting up wooden ladders outside the city wall.

At this time, the Royal Guards had rushed to the bottom of the wall, and many people had climbed up the ladder. At such a close distance, even armed civilians could shoot one Austrian Royal Guards...

The casualties of the Royal Guards suddenly increased. Not long after, Milt, who was responsible for the fire cover, had to take his company to the wooden ladder. Fortunately, the Austrian Royal Guards had already climbed the top of the city, and the firepower he had to face decreased a lot.

With stray bullets everywhere and defender shotguns erupting from time to time, Milt's company had lost more than one-third of the soldiers when it climbed to the city!

This is also the casualties of the subsequent troops. The vanguard troops who rushed up to the city initially had single digits left in many companies!

However, Franz I, who had made up his mind, ordered the soldiers on the front line to attack, and the back team rushed forward with the front team. The soldiers behind had the right to kill the soldiers who retreated in front!

In the key battle to seize the capital of Vienna, this order did not cause a rebound from the Royal Guards, because they also knew that once Vienna could not be recaptured, there would be a major defeat on the front line. By then, more than 100,000 French troops rushed in, and even without the revolutionary Austrian Empire would be almost done...

That French tyrant is a master who does not pay attention to international unspoken rules. Looking at the fate of the Central European countries led by Levi, no one can retain sovereignty. Even if he is as powerful as Bavaria, he is still dying by the French Empire...

Even when the war broke out, Bavaria was recruited almost all regular troops. Except for second-line troops such as the City Guard, they were all pulled to the front line by the French Empire, either as cannon fodder or as a guard force for the logistics and logistics team.

In the third anti-French war, Li Wei not only mobilized his own army, but also mobilized more than 100,000 troops of vassal states to be used on the front line. The vassal states behind were also constantly training new recruits to join the army.

It was these vassal armies that allowed the main force of the French Empire to use most of the troops for the front line to fight without hesitation.

Therefore, for the survival of the Austrian Empire, these royal guards from noble families really fought desperately.

As a captain of the Royal Guards, Mirt, after jumping into the city, he no longer cared about gathering his subordinates, because the city walls were full of battles, and the Revolutionary Army always had an advantage in numbers!

Among them are people wearing revolutionary military police uniforms!

The gendarmerie established by Arenn mainly comes from fanatical revolutionaries, and they are naturally capable of fighting!

Moreover, the establishment of the military police team was extremely short, and these military police had no time to be "corrupt and degenerate".

In order to deter ordinary armed civilians, these military police wore uniforms, which were all Austrian uniforms plundered from the Vienna military warehouse, and then changed the style of the uniforms to make a difference from the Royal Guards.

Of course, there is not only one Austrian military uniform. Even if the uniform worn by the Revolutionary Army Gendarmerie is not changed, the ordinary military uniform is chosen, which is still a certain difference from the military uniform of the Royal Guards.

Milt raised his hand and shot a madman who had a red cloth strip wrapped around his arm, shouting "Long Live Freedom" on his face, then leaned against the wall and quickly loaded his flintlock pistol.

In this close-range melee, the flintlock pistol is quite useful, with the advantages of fast loading (the reason for the short barrel), and easy aiming.

As for the flaw in the effective range of the flintlock gun, it was completely compensated for in close combat.

What Milt didn't know was that he had just killed a backbone of the Austrian free party who was a supervisor, that is, the group of people who were most fanatical about the revolution.

Now, the main players of the Austrian Liberal Party and the Lindenwan Brotherhood are the people of the armed civilians who are engaged in a fierce battle with the Royal Guards at the top of the city. The main players are the people of the Austrian Liberal Party and the Lindenwan Brotherhood. The armed civilians are just the part that is being held back.

However, there were constantly armed civilians under the city, rushing up with various weapons. These armed civilians who supported them did not even have a musket in their hands. Most of them were holding cold weapons, and the big swords and spears were considered "exquisite equipment". Many people even held kitchen knives and feces forks!

You can even see people holding wooden sticks and benches inside!

After Milt loaded the bullet, he stared at the garden. He saw hundreds of people suddenly rushing to the other end, several armed civilians holding benches and wooden sticks, screaming and raising courage for themselves.

Milt looked around and found that he was the only Austrian Royal Guards left in this area. No wonder these revolutionary rioters holding benches and wooden sticks had the courage to rush over.

Milt raised his gun and shot. The skillful feel he had developed on the training ground immediately knocked down an armed civilian who was holding a bench in front of him. A round hole appeared on the bench protected in front of his chest. All the wooden thorns broken by lead bullets around the round hole were penetrated into the chest of the armed civilian who was holding the bench!

Death is so painful...

It turns out that ordinary wooden furniture will only cause a 'sputtering effect' when facing a close-range shot of a musket.

After the fire was opened, Milt threw the flintlock gun to the ground, pulled out his sword and stabbed it hard, hitting an armed civilian holding a wooden stick to meet him.

Immediately afterwards, Milt flashed sideways, and a bench whizzed past Milt. Milt let go of the hand holding the knife handle (the knife is stuck in the human body and cannot be pulled out in a short time), kicked out, and kicked the armed civilian who lost his center of gravity to the ground.

The armed civilian who was kicked to the ground covered his stomach and lying on the ground with tears in pain, and could not get up in a short time.

Milt took advantage of this opportunity and lowered his body to pull out the sword inserted into the corpse. However, after such delay, another bench hit his back hard. The bench with a worrying quality shattered on the spot. The armed civilian who attacked the ambush only had one bench leg left in his hand...

Milt spit out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground under the huge inertia force.

After this, Milt could not get up again. The armed civilians around him were best at beating the dogs in pain. The bench and wooden sticks came up together, and they slashed the back of their heads at Milt who was lying on the ground.

After more than a dozen strokes, Milt had already gone to see God...

The royal guard captain was beaten to death by armed civilians with simple weapons!

After killing Milt, these armed civilians immediately began to fight for the sword beside Milt and the flintlock gun that Milt had thrown to the ground.

During the scramble, several Royal Guard soldiers climbed up the city wall and rouled a round of guns at the armed civilians who were clustered together. Then they rushed up with bayonets. Several more corpses suddenly appeared beside Milt.

The fierce battle continued. Under the city wall, there was a long row of armed forces from the Lindenwan Brotherhood organized by Irion's confidant organization. These people were the first people to take root in Vienna, most of them were French. Here, it can be said that Irion's loyalty!

After all, there is still a gap between these French and Austrians.

The group of people stood in the entrances and exits inside the city wall. When they saw who escaped, they immediately stepped forward and pressed the other party to the ground, dragged it to the side and pulled it to the side and used a bayonet to pick the neck!

The bodies were hung in rows on the eaves around the entrances and exits. The supporters would pass by and see the hanging bodies of their own people, and their officers would explain their interests to the armed civilians at the right time.

It was thanks to this strict military method and the waves of sending a large number of armed civilians to the city wall, and the battle between the two sides over the Vienna walls was not over from morning until it was dark!

The Royal Guards paid an unimaginable price. Franz I, behind, looked at the Royal Guards who were still not rushing into the city in disbelief, realizing the terribleness of the Revolutionary Party for the first time!

Franz I now understands why the Paris garrison and the armed forces loyal to the royal family collapsed so quickly during the French Revolution...

"Revolution is such a terrible force of thought!"

Franz I couldn't help sighing as he looked at the Royal Guards who had retreated again.
Chapter completed!
