Refuge?

Li Wei was silent for a while and said, "Thank you to the Vanne Municipal Government for your kindness, but I will not take refuge!"

Joseph had already expected Li Wei to respond. After all, Li Wei had thousands of regular soldiers who were loyal to him. How could he be afraid of the more than 3,000 mobs outside?

Oh by the way, it was an accident that the rabble revolution in Paris succeeded!

In fact, now well-informed people have more or less obtained the details of the success of the Paris Revolution.

The citizens of Paris who launched the revolution were just pioneers. When the Revolution broke out, the elite city guards and police forces in Paris either gave up or simply joined the revolutionary ranks. In the end, except for the hundreds of Swiss mercenaries hired by King Louis XVI, no troops obeyed Louis XVI's orders!

The few firm royalist troops scattered in Paris collapsed in the face of this torrent, and even a wave did not splash out.

Even the iconic Bastille defenders took the initiative to open the city to surrender after the armed citizens of Paris brought two cannons from somewhere to fire. Unfortunately, their actions were not understood by the mobs, and they were all beaten to death by angry citizens after being disarmed.

After all, when the Bastille was besieged, the armed citizens of Paris suffered casualties.

"Master, Polkha has brought the rebels to the town of Charles."

Joseph carefully reminded him that even though he knew this situation, Li Wei had known it for a long time, but Joseph was really afraid in the face of the rebels formed by thousands of riot farmers!

Those broken aristocratic lairs, whether they were the descendants of the nobles or the confidant generals of the nobles like him, had no end...

If it weren't for the power here, Joseph would have already taken his family to donate money.

Of course, if Joseph really did that, his reputation in the aristocratic circle of the Kingdom of France would be completely bad, not only would he be held accountable by the Charles family, but other nobles would also be disgusted with him and even convicted.

The premise is that the aristocratic class can still restore its own rights.

Although the Great Revolution has been successful, it is generally believed that the loser of this Great Revolution was only Louis XVI, but not many people believe that the castration of the Great Revolution was the privilege of aristocratic!

The first of the traditional feudal aristocratic congressmen in the Constitutional Assembly was not allowed to agree!

Therefore, Joseph did not dare to completely offend the aristocratic class of the French kingdom.

"I will solve the rebellion. You just need to do the logistics well. I don't want to have insufficient supplies at that time. If anyone delays the battle, I don't mind taking action against him!"

Li Wei warned in a stern tone.

Of course, even without Levi's warning, Joseph would not dare to make people attack in this situation. This is a battle that happened around him. Once he was defeated, no matter how much corruption was, it would be cheaper for those mobs!

In fact, since the rebellion led by Polcha, Joseph and his men have begun to restrain themselves, and the daily food and quarantine phenomenon has been greatly alleviated.

The next day, the slow-moving Polkha rebels finally arrived outside the town of Charles.

Thanks to Boercha's promotion of his name, he successfully obtained the title of this rebel...

No matter how much constraints Boercha is within the rebels, at least to outsiders, Boercha is the veritable leader of this rebel army, and those mud-legged leaders do not understand what the celebrity effect is, so they naturally will not argue with Boercha.

The town of Charles is not a 'naked town'. There is a circle of earthen walls outside, and there are trenches outside the earthen walls that are better than nothing.

Of course, this level of "city defense" is mainly used to defend against bandits and robbers. If you encounter a regular army, this kind of earthen wall with no inclination angle cannot withstand a few shells.

The French Kingdom is now a European power with many overseas colonies, so it is naturally impossible for even inland towns to be built into bastions and fortresses.

This is not a question of whether or not money is money, but there is no need at all.

An official road leads directly to the gate of Charles Town, runs through the east and west of Charles Town, and walks out from the other end.

On both sides of a main road connecting the official road are densely packed with houses and alleys. The noble villa where Li Wei lives is located next to the main road near the center of the town.

The town of Charles has no element as a war stronghold at all, and there is no cover outside the gate of the town, and it is flat!

Therefore, Li Wei had previously built a simple circular field fortification outside the town gate, which was the configuration of chest wall and trench.

Muskets of this era have to stand and fight each other, so there will naturally be no trench warfare.

In the era of lack of rapid-fire weapons, staying in deep trenches, the enemy can hit the tip of the knife on your forehead with just a wave of bayonet charges.

There is an annular field fortification outside the gate of the town, and continuous steps are set behind the earthen walls in other directions, with rows of muzzles protruding from the walls facing outward.

Thousands of soldiers from the front line of infantry regiments were enough to surround the small town of Charles, without worrying that the enemy would find the so-called weak points to attack.

Boercha was not a military expert, so he led his men around Charles town and found that there were people defending everywhere, so he had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​raiding.

This is completely different from the noble castle he captured before. Although the fortifications of that noble castle are much more perfect and can even form up and down step-by-step fire shooting, the number of defenders in the castle is small, and they are not even satisfied with the shooting position, and there are loopholes everywhere!

At that time, Polkha only needed to attract some people to frontal fire and allow others to climb over the castle wall from an uninhabited place to win.

But now this method is obviously not good to deal with the sufficiently powerful town of Charles.

"Li Wei's troops are sufficient and there are no defensive loopholes, so we can only attack hard.

The road is the flattest at the gate of the town, and it is much easier to attack. Let's concentrate our troops to attack from here.

Of course, I will take people to stare at other directions, and once the defenders inside leave, I will take the opportunity to lead people to raid."

Polkha told the leaders of the villages in front of him.

As soon as he finished speaking, many leaders looked at Polkha with strange eyes, and some leaders showed gratitude.

The reason is very simple. Polkha did not take on the main attack mission, but instead patrolled the outside of Charles town.

Once Charles' town was captured, he could not rush into the town as soon as possible.

All fools know that whoever is the first to attack the town will get the first-hand goods!
