; What kind of scene is the roar of sixty-three guns at once, presumably only those who face such powerful artillery fire can feel it, think about the fact that in a normal army division in France, there are only 32 guns, and the firepower of one Napoleonic brigade has been equal to that of two integrated divisions.
Thanks to the captives of Enlais, Napoleon was able to obtain in a fairly short time a map of the city of Lyon, especially the buildings and functions of the southern walls, which Napoleon made great efforts to understand.
Beneath the walls of Lyon is a blank area devoid of any buildings, only about a kilometer wide bluestone brick floor, and behind this area is a row of dwellings, which have now been requisitioned as barracks for the rebels.
And now the French artillery needs to take care of this platoon of rebel barracks.
"The artillery is calibrated, please give the order!"
A herald galloped in front of Napoleon on horseback, and when he heard his words, Napoleon nodded, and just as Napoleon nodded, he saw a cavalryman behind him decisively raise a red flag.
"Order the artillery to fire!"
Hearing Napoleon's order, the cavalryman fiercely waved the red flag in his hand forward, and the French artillery commander, who had been silently following the Chinese army, immediately shouted: "Fire!"
"Open the gun" With the firing of one cannon, sixty-three cannons brought destruction to the enemy in the city of Lyon.
And at the same time as these cannons were firing, the rebels inside the city walls were gathering their ranks.
Before they could finish rallying their ranks, they saw cannonballs falling from the sky and hitting the heads of the rebels.
In an instant, a large area of ruins appeared in the middle of the rebels' barracks area.
And just after the French army captured the city wall, a group of French soldiers quickly rushed down the city and ran to the city gate.
Their goal was to open the gates of the city and let the troops from outside the city enter.
Chalmers quickly whipped the war horse under his crotch, and at the moment he only had resentment towards Napoleon in his heart!
There was no movement for a month, so I thought that the south of the city could be safe and sound, who knew that at such a fatal moment, the French army in the south of the city actually launched an attack unusually, this is a special cheat!
Just as he was rushing towards the south of the city, a sudden burst of heavy artillery fire came.
Chalmers felt a wave of heat as if he was about to overturn himself, and saw the war horse under his crotch stumble and fall to the ground, and Chalmers was even more tired by the war horse and fell not far in front of the horse.
And it was the first place to hit the ground, which made him feel a burst of heat on his face.
When he reached out and touched it, he saw that his hands were full of blood, and he couldn't care about it so much.
Hurriedly asked the attendant behind him to give himself a horse.
Then continue to gallop a short distance.
No sooner had the first round of artillery than the hundreds of rebels hastily assembled rushed to the walls, but they were confronted by the French troops, who had already set up a position under the walls.
As the southern gates of Lyon were opened, Napoleon waved his hand fiercely, and he knew that his plan had been accomplished!
"Report immediately to the Marquis of Creech that our army has breached the southern gate of Lyon, and let the Marquis immediately launch an attack on Lyon to contain the rebels in the city, and if possible.
Please also ask the Marquis to send reinforcements to our department immediately!
” With that, Napoleon drew his saber.
With a wave forward, a group of French troops, under Napoleon's orders, immediately rushed towards the south gate of Lyon Although Napoleon did not report the time of the surprise attack to Creech, how could Creech not hear the huge sound of artillery in the city of Lyon, when he heard the sound of roaring artillery, his first reaction was that the rebels in the city were going to break through!
Creech hurriedly rushed outside the tent, only to see that the rebels on the north city wall were already under martial law, but Creech found that although the rebels were all under martial law, the number was much less "Order the army to prepare for battle immediately, I think Lyon's success or failure may be known today!"
After Creech's order was given, the French army completed the assembly as quickly as possible, after all, the sound of artillery that resounded in the sky just now could be heard by anyone who is not deaf.
At eight o'clock in the morning, while Napoleon was fighting the rebels south of the city, his messenger arrived in front of Creech.
"General Napoleon also asks His Excellency the Marshal to be able to launch an attack on Lyon at once, and at the same time, if possible, to ask His Excellency the Marshal to provide some reinforcements, our army has already breached the gates of Lyon!"
The news shocked Creech, but after the shock, Creech's heart was mixed.
He did not expect that what he did not do in a month, Napoleon actually did in one day.
If, after the end of the war, there are people who have good deeds to compare themselves in this way, will they not be wise?
But before Creech could think about it, the generals under his command excitedly clenched their fists and asked Creech to fight!
Now that Napoleon has broken through the southern gate, as long as he works harder, the rebels who are difficult to take care of will definitely make mistakes, and his military achievements will be in hand!
Thinking about it this way, all the generals are ready to show their strength.
Seeing the excitement on everyone's faces, Creech smiled bitterly in his heart, since the current situation has developed like this, then he can only conform to the will of the people, otherwise, the hearts of the people that he has spent more than ten years cultivating will probably be lost!
But after this battle, Napoleon must not stay!
Creech's heart had already made up his mind.
"In that case, then I declare that the whole army will immediately attack Lyon, and at the same time the second, ninth, and thirteenth squadrons will immediately move in the direction south of the city to support General Napoleon!"
As soon as Creech gave the order, the generals promised one after another, and then rushed out happily, their hearts were already impatient.
When the news of Napoleon's contribution to the South Gate arrived, Lafayette was shocked.
Once the French army enters the city, it is not a question of whether they can defend Lyon, but whether they can retreat with their whole body.

Come to think of it.
Lafayette immediately ordered all the rebels in Lyon to immediately attack the south of the city, except for the nearly 10,000 troops in the north of the city, and to drive the French army south of the city out of Lyon!
"Gurion.
The southern city has been broken, so let's plan early, right?
” Giggs hurriedly found Gurion's side, and without waiting for Gurion to speak, he hurriedly said his thoughts, and his words made Gurion feel at ease, but Giggs is also Gurion's leader and former superior, so he still said very humbly: "Your Excellency Ryan Giggs.
Don't know what you're planning?
” "Gurion, you see, now that the southern city has been broken, Leon can't hold it.
We have less than 10,000 people in our hands and can't resist the French army at all, so why don't you listen to me, let's ask the French army to surrender together, and the other side has already agreed.
As long as we open the door.
They will never do anything to us, but will reward us!
” Giggs's words made Guri feel relieved, and now the situation has not completely collapsed, and they still have hope of turning the tables, but Giggs actually wants to surrender at this time, and he often declares himself to be a staunch revolutionary!
"Your Excellency, there is hope, even if there is no hope.
When the time comes, it will still be possible to break through with our men.
Do you really believe what those people say?
I can guarantee that if they take Lyon, you and I will never escape by then!
” Seeing Gurion opposing his proposal.
Giggs's face flushed "What do you know, I joined the revolution earlier than you, and I also know their combat effectiveness, now Leon is absolutely unstoppable, you still listen to my advice to open the city gate with me, otherwise there will be absolutely no good fruit for you to eat today!"
"Giggs, I respect you to call you Your Excellency, look at your present appearance and still have the appearance of a revolutionary?
Have you said that your revolutionary ideas for the country and the people have been eaten by dogs?
” An argument broke out between Giggs and Gurion inside the room, and outside the door, a group of soldiers had quietly approached.
Giggs peeked at the time, then wiped the cold sweat from his forehead "Gurion, you are my old subordinate, I don't want you to be martyred for Lafayette, I shouldn't have heard today, you better order the door to open now, it will be our own brothers who will die later!"
Looking at Giggs, who would not give up, Gurion quietly clenched his hand.
Seeing that Gurion seemed a little indifferent, Giggs was in a hurry, and he jerked something out of his bosom and pointed it at Gurion "Gurion, it doesn't matter if you give an order today or not, the city gate must be opened, otherwise, don't blame me for turning my face!"
Looking at the gun pointed at his face, Gurion's heart suddenly welled up with sadness.
"Hehe, Giggs, it was you who pulled me into the revolution back then, do you remember the slogan you uttered at that time?
Everyone has their own land, everyone has equal rights, everyone can live a happy life without oppression and exploitation, we must build a paradise that truly belongs to the people, a world of great harmony!
But look at what you're doing now, was it just a piece of shit?
Are you Giggs a villain who betrayed the revolution!
” "Say no more, don't say it again!
What do you know?
Now that Lyon has become like this, do you know that my long-standing ideals are about to be shattered, and that I can't be allowed to find a way out for myself at this time?
Everyone is equal to go to Tamar!
Go to the world of Tama!
Now I just want to live!
” Looking at the already incomprehensible Giggs, Gurion's face showed a sadness.
Whether experience changed the ideal or the ideal changed the experience, and what kind of life would he and Giggs have had if they had not participated in the revolution.
Or is it that the more you walk, the more you are confused about where you are going?
Seeing that Gurion was lost in thought, Giggs thought he had been persuaded by himself, and he grinned and tried to show a smile, but it turned out that the smile he squeezed out was more ugly than crying.
"Gurion, listen to me once, after the end of the incident in Lyon this time, we will each go back to our hometown, I know that your home is from Marseille, you can go home and continue to participate in the revolution after leaving Lyon, now the most important thing is to live, only by living can you realize your ideals."
So you better order the door open, time is running out, and if it is over, we will all be finished!
” "Hehe, Lord Giggs, maybe you don't know that my family has been killed by those nobles.
My life's wish is to overthrow this world, and since you have deviated from our original ideals, then you should repent of your choice!
” said.
Gurion rushed to his desk as fast as he could, then pulled out a gun from under it.
Seeing Gurion rushing towards the desk, Giggs knew something was wrong, and he quickly pulled the gun in his hand, but probably because of excitement, he didn't hit Giggs, but only hit the desk.

Didn't wait for him to load his ammunition.
I saw that Gurion had already stood up from under his desk, and the gun in his hand was firmly pointed at Giggs.
"Your Excellency, thank you for your kindness.
I'm sorry, I don't agree with your words!
Bang!
” A gunshot hit Giggs in the chest, looking at Giggs who was slowly falling.
There was not a trace of expression on Gurion's face.
He took the gun in his hand and walked to the door.
He had been at odds with Giggs for so long, and he didn't know how the battle was going on outside, and as a temporary commander, he had to take responsibility for the defense of the north of the city.
Gurion pushed the door open "Bang Bang" He first saw a few strangers standing in the door of his room, then he heard the gunshots, and before he could react, a pain caused him to fall to his knees.
"You Guards" "Bang" The shot hit Gurion directly in the head, and Gurion, who was lying on the ground, twitched unnaturally.
He couldn't figure out why he had been shot outside his office door.
Where did the guards go?
Gurion's death directly broke the hearts of the rebels guarding the north of the city, and without a supreme commander, these rebels became a swarm of leaderless flies, plus their combat effectiveness was really limited.
On December 18, 1789, at ten o'clock in the morning, the north of Lyon was broken, and the commander Gurion was martyred for the revolution!
One bad news after another made Lafayette lose an inch, he did not expect that Napoleon's attack actually caused such a chain effect, the northern city was broken, which means that if the French army in the south of the city cannot be broken as soon as possible, the rebels who are caught on both sides will definitely collapse in the shortest possible time.
"Chalmers, you go and organize a death squad, bring a few hundred people up with you, remember that your goal is to retake the South Gate for me, otherwise we will all die here!"
"No!"
Bloodied, Chalmers quickly selected more than 300 people from the rebels despite the pain from his wounds, and then rushed to the south gate under the cover of the army led by Lafayette.
But where is the South City Gate so easy to rush, just look at the hideous artillery on the inside of the South City Gate, you know that this will be a road to death!
But now I can't care so much, and taking the south gate is also a death.
Napoleon had a headache looking at the rebels who were dying and fighting back, and at this moment he was standing on the southern wall of Lyon.
"Tell the artillery that you don't need to be stingy with shells, blast all the shells out for me, and if there are no reinforcements within half an hour, you immediately go and transfer the cavalry regiment to me, the big fish is here!"
After giving the order, Napoleon looked at the battlefield again.
What to do?
Now what?
If you can't escape, you will definitely be the result of God's death!
Lafayette's heart suddenly became a little frightened, he had never thought about it even if he charged in person, but now he actually came up with such a ridiculous idea, is this still himself?
Maybe position can really change a person, when Lafayette was just a simple soldier and officer, he could not hesitate to die for his goal, but now after being in a high position, he is actually afraid of death, which he never expected.
Just then, one of Lafayette's attendants quietly approached Lafayette's side "Lord Marquis, the French troops in the south and east of the city are all in a group, and now the French army in the south of the city is attacking, but there is no news from the east of the city so far, you must know where is the weakest place in our defense, I think there must not be many enemies in the east of the city" The squire didn't continue, but Lafayette understood what he meant, and looking at Chalmers, who was fighting, Lafayette's heart suddenly had some difficulty in making a choice.
"Lord Marquis, if you don't leave, it's too late, the north of the city has fallen, at most half an hour, the French army in the north will be able to rush here, even if we want to leave, I'm afraid we won't be able to leave!"
Hearing this, Lafayette was shocked, and he quietly looked around him, and found that there were about two hundred cavalry surrounding him.
Lafayette closed his eyes, but the sound of gunfire in his ears kept him from concentrating, and after a moment he gritted his teeth.
"Let's go!"
With that, he pulled the reins of his horse and turned eastward, and the cavalry of the guards behind him also turned with him.
Hearing the sound of horses' hooves, Chalmers, who was fighting, was even startled, he thought that the French reinforcements had arrived, and when he looked back, he only saw a resolute back, it was Lafayette.
The sound of horses' hooves woke all the rebel soldiers, some of whom followed Lafayette's group eastward, while many more rebels were overwhelmed, not knowing what to do if the commander fled!
Napoleon, who was constantly observing the situation on the battlefield, was shocked, and he shouted: "Order all the troops, give me to defeat all these rebels, and shout that the leader of the rebels has fled, we will only punish the evil, surrender and not kill!"
When the entire battlefield echoed the sound of surrender without killing, the will of the rebel soldiers had been broken, and they surrendered.
The eyes of Chalmers' head on the ground were round, but there was pity in his eyes, and he didn't know whether he was pitying himself or others.
As Lafayette rushed out of the city, the cavalry regiment of the 1st Brigade, on Napoleon's orders, clung to Lafayette's tail, but in the end they could not catch up with Lafayette.
The city of Lyon was broken, but Lafayette fled.
Lucky or unlucky, who can tell!
