Chapter 594: Turning Point


Standing high in the palace and looking at the torches flickering a few times not far below, Louis XVI's eyelids suddenly jumped.

According to Louis XVI, it was undoubtedly the best way to let Napoleon die peacefully from food poisoning, but now that there are people raising fire below, it is clear that Napoleon has escaped the trap of food.

However, Louis XVI did not think that Napoleon could escape from Versailles, you must know that in addition to the strategy of poisoning Napoleon, Louis XVI deployed an army of 6,000 people inside and outside the Palace of Versailles, and compared with Napoleon's men and horses, it has dozens of times the advantage of troops.

Napoleon, under the cover of his own soldiers, made his way to the main building of the Palace of Versailles, and the side entrance of the Palace of Versailles to which he was going was located to the east of the Palace.

After running for a while, the group arrived at the famous war hall in the palace of Versailles, which was built in the northwest corner of the main building to highlight the exploits of Louis XVI's conquest of Spain, Germany and the Netherlands, and in the war hall many Louis XIV weapons are stored.

At the main entrance of the war hall, Napoleon and his party were attacked by a group of royal troops, and 300 royal soldiers slowly pressed up against Napoleon and his party with rifles.

"Quick, get back inside the war hall!"

Compared to other places, the War Hall is undoubtedly a weapons museum, with not only paintings of Louis XIV's conquests, but also a large number of trophies captured from various places, and many of the armor, weapons and shields of the army of the time are on display in the War Hall.

Although these weapons seem very backward now, they were like nectar for Napoleon's ministry.

You must know that there are now fewer than ten rifles among Napoleon's soldiers.

All the rest were sabers, which was a great disadvantage in battle.

The thick shields and spears on display in the War Hall, as well as some bows and arrows, undoubtedly gave Napoleon's men a degree of resistance to rifle fire and the ability to counterattack.

Soon, the group was armed in the war hall.

Although these people looked very funny at the moment, most of the soldiers were armed with bows and arrows and shields, it was clear from the eyes of these soldiers that they were not funny, but a real group of warriors.

Under Napoleon's orders, the group quickly rushed towards the outside of the war hall, where about 700 royal soldiers were gathered at this moment.

In addition, there are many more royal soldiers rushing towards the war hall.

Because the distance between the two sides was not too far, the bows and arrows that Napoleon and his party had just snatched from the war hall were useful, and at the forefront were undoubtedly soldiers with thick shields.

I have to say that the shields that Louis XIV placed in the war hall are really very good, and these shields are maintained every year at the Palace of Versailles, so these shields are quite powerful to some extent.

"Don't stop, don't get entangled with the enemy.

Keep on rushing forward!

” Ahead is a shield to open the way.

Then the spear piercing, and finally the archers shooting, Napoleon's soldiers played their role well, and for a while the royal soldiers were defeated by these Napoleonic troops armed with cold weapons.

Despite his superiority to a certain extent, Napoleon knew that this was not a place to stay for long, that the enemy had more troops than him, and that he could only break through by being besieged by the enemy.

"Quick, pick up the enemy's weapons!"

At the same time as a loud command.

Napoleon also immediately bent down and picked up the weapon in the arms of the corpse of a royal soldier at his feet, and by the way, picked up the ammunition pouch on the soldier's waist.

The soldiers on Napoleon's side, who quickly completed most of the redressing, completely showed the posture of their battlefield heroes.

Suddenly the royal soldiers who stood in Napoleon's way showed signs of collapse.

But there were too few soldiers on Napoleon's side, and when he entered the stables not far east of the war hall, Napoleon's face was overjoyed, and when he left the war hall, he had some of his soldiers change into the cuirasses of the Louis XIV era.

It may be because the people in the Palace of Versailles did not expect that Napoleon would be able to lead people to fight here, so there are dozens of war horses in the stable.

And now that there is a war horse, then the cuirass, which has become a burden before, has a place to use.

"All those with cuirass immediately rode on their horses, and the rest rushed forward after the cavalry!"

Fifty war horses carrying the cuirassiers on horseback rushed towards the outside of the horse barn, and at this moment, the enemy outside the horse house probably did not expect that there was no cavalry rushing from the horse bar, so he was caught off guard and was quickly opened a gap by these cuirassiers.

Napoleon at this moment was right in the middle of the cavalry formation, and looking at the surrounding situation, Napoleon shouted: "Keep rushing for me!"

Although Napoleon's arm was very sore at the moment, he still gritted his teeth and persevered.

On the way to run, there were constantly people who were hit by the enemy and left behind, but the whole team gritted their teeth and persisted under the leadership of Napoleon, even those soldiers who were hit never gave up resistance as long as they still had a breath.

Standing under the protection of the army, looking at those soldiers who were not afraid of death, Malfoy's heart suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, these soldiers should have become sharp weapons in the hands of His Majesty the King, these soldiers should have become the pillars of the Kingdom of France, but now they have betrayed their own king and become the tools of that careerist.

Of course, the careerist Malfoy was referring to was Napoleon.

"Catch up!

Napoleon and his lackeys can't be allowed to escape!

” At the sound of an order, the soldiers and some cavalry who had been gathered around Malfoy quickly joined the battle.

The situation of the war became more and more unfavorable to Napoleon, and there were a large number of royal troops in front of him and on the left and right, and when Napoleon led a group of people to approach the main building, he was surprised to find that there was a person looking at the window on the second floor of the main building, and with the help of the candlelight revealed by the window, Napoleon recognized that person was Louis XVI.

"Quick!

Rush into the main building!

Catch that guy!

” As he spoke, Napoleon rushed to the door of the main building.

The main building of the Palace of Versailles is very large, and because of this, there is a huge staircase from the first to the second floor of the main building, and you can even gallop across the staircase.

There were about 200 royal soldiers guarding the entrance to the main building, but when Napoleon led more than 30 cavalry to rush to them, they were quickly routed.

Although the royal soldiers had the advantage in strength, they were obviously inferior to the soldiers under Napoleon's command in terms of individual combat effectiveness and fighting will, not to mention that Napoleon was famous in France, and when they knew that their enemy was Napoleon, these soldiers were undoubtedly very worried in their hearts.

After breaking through the enemy's defenses, Napoleon rushed towards the gate of the main building, which was closed at the moment, but the soldiers at the entrance of the main building could not resist the retreat of the soldiers at the entrance of the main building, and the gate of the main building was actually opened.

Napoleon, who seized the time, rushed in before the enemy closed the door, and after rushing in, Napoleon rushed towards the harvest hall on the second floor.

It may be that Louis XVI did not expect Napoleon to rush into the main building, or Louis XVI did not expect that Napoleon would crush the soldiers guarding the main building in such a short time, in short, Louis XVI is still in the harvest hall at this moment.

There were also a number of royal soldiers in the main building, but they were not very numerous and scattered, which made it impossible for them to stop Napoleon's march, and Napoleon was extremely glad that he was wearing the cuirass that had been removed from the statue of Louis XIV, which had blocked Napoleon's attack from no less than five bullets.

Seeing Napoleon with a dozen cavalry wreaking havoc in the main building, some ordinary attendants immediately panicked, and at this moment, under the protection of a group of soldiers, Louis XVI walked to the gate of the harvest hall and prepared to go to a safe place to avoid Napoleon's attack.

"Louis XVI is there!"

Knowing the directions, Napoleon galloped over the wide second-story corridor and leaped to less than ten paces from Louis XVI.

The situation was quite precarious for Louis XVI, and just as Napoleon was about to rush to Louis XVI to capture the man who was going to murder him, Queen Mary came out of nowhere.

"Stop, Napoleon!"

Hearing Queen Marie's words, Napoleon, who had a hideous face, was immediately stunned, and then the speed of the horse immediately slowed down, but the inertia of the war horse made him still rush to Louis XVI, and in the blink of an eye, Napoleon slipped the stunned Louis XVI onto his horse, and at the same time the saber was also pressed on Louis XVI's neck.

Feeling the sharp saber around his neck, Louis XVI felt a panic he had never felt before.

"Napoleon, let go of His Majesty, it's all my orders!"

The pale Queen Mary turned even paler when she saw Napoleon's saber pressed against Louis XVI's neck.

Hearing Mary's words, Napoleon was stunned, he did not expect that the person who wanted his life would be Queen Mary in front of him, and after a while, Napoleon endured the grief in his heart and said: "Tell me why?"

"Because you have posed a great threat to the kingdom of my husband and son!"

Hearing this, Napoleon looked at Mary with a complicated face, but Napoleon deserved to be an immortal talent that is rare in a hundred years, and soon Napoleon held back the sadness in his heart and said: "Let the royal army immediately stop attacking my people" “.......

Well, I promise you......."
