On August 29, the Pu'Austrian coalition surrounded the gate of Paris Verdun. By the morning of September 2, the royal party launched a rebellion in Verdun and killed the city defense commander. Verdun surrendered to the Pu'Austrian coalition, and the gate of Paris was opened.

Verdun lost due to rebellion, which was completely beyond the expectations of the French. In the French plan, the terrain was dangerous, and Verdun, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack, should act as an indestructible anvil, while the French army would become a heavy hammer. They cooperated with each other and smashed the enemy to pieces. However, Verdun, the anvil, was easily captured because of the traitors inside. This made all the French extremely angry and very scared because everyone was worried that there would be traitors from the great motherland around them and they planned to betray the motherland at any time.

The National Assembly responded quickly, and now their first important task is to suppress the counter-revolution. Dandong, the wanted criminal not long ago and the attorney general of the new government, presided over the work of eliminating the traitors of the motherland. He delivered a famous speech in the National Assembly that afternoon "Brave, Brave, Brave!" and began to lead the work of suppressing the counter-revolution in Paris.

A large number of nobles, as well as those who have relationships with nobles, or are suspected of sympathizing with the king and nobles, were "preventive" imprisoned without any investigation and trial.

If you just do this, it is actually not too much. After the Pearl Harbor incident broke out in later generations, the Lighthouse Kingdom once locked up all the Nikko expatriates in concentration camps regardless of scattered scattered scattered scattered scattered scattered scattered scattered scattered scattered scattered scattered scattered scattered scattered

In fear and anger, the policy adopted for this "preventive" arrest is naturally to "probable crimes" and "it would rather arrest a thousand mistakes than let one go". The prisons in Paris were quickly filled with them, while suspects of "traitors" were still being sent over.

At this time, a rumor appeared. According to this rumor, royalists would launch rebellions, rush into prison, rescue the "traitors", and join forces with the nearby Pakatans and Austrian coalition to suppress the Paris revolution. The Austrians have said that they would use blood to clean the streets of Paris in revenge on their bullying of the king.

The people of Paris quickly became armed and prepared to deal with the royalist rebellion. But at this time, the royalist was either arrested or escaped from Paris, and there was no capital for the rebellion? However, a sudden incident made the whole situation out of control.

Because one prison was stuffed, the National Self-Defense Forces were preparing to send all the "suspects" here to another prison with space to make room for a group of "suspects". When they left the prison, they were seen by some citizens. The nervous citizens mistakenly thought they were royalists, and now they robbed the prison and were about to rescue the "traitors", they shouted loudly. Then the Paris citizens holding various weapons surrounded them.

The National Self-Defense Forces were simply unwilling to have conflicts with citizens for these damn "traitors", so they left those "traitors" and ran away.

Naturally, the citizens could not catch up with the National Self-Defense Forces, but at least they stopped the "traitors" who "try to escape". In anger and excitement, the citizens killed all these "traitors" who "wanted to escape". Someone shouted: "Why should these traitors be locked up? They all deserve to die!"

So the crowd went toward other prisons, and they rushed into the prison and killed everyone in the prison, regardless of whether he was a "traitor" or not.

The queen's best friend, Princess De Lambala, was also killed by angry citizens, and her head was cut off, inserted into a spear, and then marched outside the tower where the king and queen were imprisoned. People shouted to the tower: "You will do this one day!"

Some Brisso-sect members suggested to Attorney General Dandong that order should be restored and that such a massacre should not be allowed to continue. However, although Dandong did not refute on the surface and even agreed with the statement that order should be restored, he actually did not take any action.

"We cannot stand opposite to the people." Dandong later explained.

However, many Brixoso members believed that Danton was deliberately indulging such behavior in order to tie people in Paris to the chariots against the Pakatans and Austrian coalition forces. And in this way, after simply eliminating the hidden dangers at one time, Paris could devote more power to the battle with foreign interference forces.

Indeed, just after this crazy massacre, the government quickly mobilized another 20,000 volunteer troops within two days to support the frontline operations.

According to Napoleon's suggestion, General Dimurier arranged his army near the Valmí Heights in Saint-Meneut. This place was not on the avenue from Verdun to Paris. However, if the Paux and Ou dared to pounce directly on Paris, Nadimurier's army would easily cut off the coalition's retreat from here.

Napoleon estimated that due to the continuous rain, the logistics of the coalition forces must have been very nervous. Once the rear route is cut off, it will definitely collapse quickly. Therefore, they would never dare to march towards Paris until the threat of Valmé's French army was eliminated.

"Our army has the courage, but lacks training, and is difficult to carry out complex offensive operations, but it is relatively easier to rely on terrain defense." Joseph also expressed support for his younger brother's plan. "In most cases, defense is a more powerful way of combat than offense. If the enemy attacks us on their own initiative, we will definitely defeat them in defensive warfare."

As Napoleon judged, the Duke of Brunswick did not dare to lead troops to Paris before eliminating their threat to the back road. But he also knew that the longer the stalemate, the more beneficial it was for France. Because every minute and every second of the French army was becoming more and more and more well-trained.

So the Duke of Brunswick decided to concentrate his forces first and defeat Dimurier's army before advancing towards Paris.

On September 17, the Pu'Austrian coalition began to approach Valmí. At first, the Duke of Brunswick hoped to force the French back to retreat by threatening the French logistics channel Vitri Avenue. However, before that, the revolutionary government had collected a large amount of food and fodder through price limits and transported it to Dimurier's army. Therefore, for at least a long time, Dimurier was not worried that his food was cut off. On the contrary, the Pu'Austrian coalition's own food was in danger under the continuous attacks of the French volunteers.

This situation also forced the Duke of Brunswick to violate military principles and launch a strong attack on the preset positions of the enemy with a larger number of people.

Most of the French army were Volunteers. These volunteers were not trained enough and could not even get out of the decent queue on the battlefield. So they could only enter the battle in the form of scattered soldiers. However, their morale was high and their combat was brave, which made them particularly useful when fighting as scattered soldiers.

Generally speaking, in this era, the reason why the scattered formation is not the main body is that such formations are vulnerable to the chest plaque cavalry. The chest plaque cavalry can theoretically easily defeat them and kill them clean during the pursuit.

However, in the outpost battle, the performance of these volunteer soldiers was beyond the expectations of the Austrians and Prussians. When they found that the French army did not have a strict formation and did not have too many cavalry (because there are many nobles in the cavalry, it is relatively unreliable, and the mud legs of the volunteers are still unable to play with such technical skills, so there are not many cavalry in the French army at this time), the Duke of Brunswick naturally sent himself without hesitation without hesitation. He thought that his cavalry could easily disperse and eliminate these thugs in blue uniforms (in their minds, these people were not considered army at all). However, when the attack began, he was surprised to find that although the French soldiers could not line up tight hollow phalanxes specifically used to deal with cavalry, they bravely came up when facing the cavalry and shot at the cavalry instead of turning around and running away normally.

The hit rate of these guns was not high, but it still caused certain losses to the Prussian cavalry. However, the cavalry rushed forward quickly. Under normal circumstances, the enemy should abandon their weapons, turn around and escape, and then they easily caught up from behind to collect the heads. But those guys did not retreat, but instead hedged the bayonets to hedge against the cavalry.

The war horses can easily knock an infantry to the ground, but such a collision does not harm the war horses at all. Especially when the man is still holding a bayonet rifle. The cavalry of course gained the upper hand in such a hand-to-hand combat, and they cut down all the blue thugs. However, their own losses are also quite large. Although four or five blue thugs have to die, a cavalry will die, but such exchange ratio still makes the Duke of Brunswick feel extremely distressed.

You know, how much money did the French recruited those blue thugs? And these cavalry spent much more money. In such exchanges, Prussia naturally had the advantage in terms of number of people; but in terms of cost comparison, Prussia lost much more. Not to mention cavalry, even war horses were far more valuable than those blue thugs!

However, the Duke of Brunswick still believes that his well-trained infantry (at least compared to the French "Volunteers") will definitely destroy the defense lines of the French thugs.

After repelling the French scattered soldiers, the artillery of the Pu'Austrian coalition began to fire violently at the French position. After a brief and fierce shelling, the infantry front of the Pu'Austrian coalition began to press forward towards the French position.

Napoleon stood behind a trench, looked at the approaching Pu'Austrian coalition forces, and curled his lips and said, "I rushed up after just a few shots. It seems that there are indeed a big problem with their logistics supply."
