"I, Levi Charles, founded the Black Dragon Army not to create the rebellion of the French Kingdom, but to make things right!

The Kingdom of France belongs to the king, to all the nobles of France, and to the inviolable church.

But now the Constituent Assembly in Paris tramples on and plunders the privileges and wealth of the nobles and churches of the Kingdom of France!

This is an unforgivable thing. As a member of the nobles, I naturally have to fight against it and restore the heavens of the Kingdom of France to the previous moment of glory.

Could it be that everyone has forgotten the glory of the Sun King period?

What are the virtues and powers of those rich capitalists to be the masters of the Kingdom of France!”

When Li Wei said this, he looked at the so-called town residents who looked confused and didn't know what they were talking about, and knew that he was simply playing the piano to a cow...

The only reactions were the upper class people with status in the town, especially the mayor, who was a mayor with a lord!

The Lord is not a genuine nobleman, so there are quite a lot of them.

The non-combat quasi-nobles enthroned by the nobles of the French Kingdom are all called lords, and knights are usually granted by combatants.

After taking down the town, Li Wei's men searched for supplies here, and "accepted" the loyalty of the upper class figures in the town, and left early the next morning.

Of course, I took away all the firearms that can be used in the town.

The flintlock gun also has a service life. Like ordinary cold weapons, it needs to be repaired or replaced if used too much. In Charles town, due to productivity and financial constraints, Li Wei only satisfies everyone with one gun, and there are not many spare guns at all, and just plunder a group of them.

In addition to the infantry's own marching backpacks, the entire Black Dragon Army also carried necessary supplies along with carriages in the middle of the army.

These supplies are enough for Li Wei to carry out one or two large-scale fierce battles, compared with a 3,000-man corps!

As for the subsequent supplies, Li Wei felt that it would no longer be a problem after he entered Vanne City.

Vanne is still a provincial capital city, and it is many times richer than Charles town!

Not all towns will attack Li Wei, even if it is not difficult for him, it will waste a lot of time doing so.

Every extra day wasted, the city of Vanne would have one more day to gather troops from the entire province!

Arm more citizens.

Now that Li Wei has created the Black Dragon Legion, the news of rebellion and attacking Vanne City has spread, Vanne City has been recruiting troops these days.

Therefore, Li Wei will only capture the wealthy town along the official road, and on the one hand, it will also prevent back pricks from appearing behind him.

Even if the senior leaders of the town who were forced to "reject" by Li Wei rebelled again, the firearms in the town were plundered and would not have much combat effectiveness.

In this way, Li Wei's Black Dragon Legion quickly approached the outskirts of Vanne!

The Speaker of Vanne City, Jiben, is also a courageous person. He is unwilling to fight and break out in Vanne City. After gathering more than 5,000 troops, he led his men to set up defenses outside Vanne City.

These more than 5,000 people are not only the original city defense force in Vanne, but also the public security forces in nearby towns, the armed citizens of Vanne who were temporarily armed, the police forces and even the reserves in Vanne.

Anyway, those who can shoot or shoot are pulled out as much as possible.

Most of the more than 5,000 people can actually be considered militias.

Nowadays, militias are the main body of the armed forces in the Kingdom of France, because the previously pacified French kingdom had only tens of thousands of registered regular troops.

Although the number of city guards and public security forces scattered in various places is uncountable, those people have loose military equipment and weak combat power. Otherwise, a large number of noble lairs would not have been captured by rioters.

Of course, for Yoshimoto, who has never fought a war, more troops than the enemy is a huge advantage. What's more, Yoshimoto has pulled out more than ten artillery pieces of different caliber from Vanne, including the old-fashioned mortar that has a larger lifespan than Yoshimoto!

Yoshimoto, wearing the general's uniform tailor in Vanne City, rode a white tall horse and patrolled the entire position with several senior officials who were also members of parliament.

Yoshimoto didn't know how to fight, and hoped to use this method to stimulate the morale of the soldiers below.

However, after a few rounds of inspections, even Yoshimoto, a layman, saw the problem.

There are two clear signs of distinction in the army.

The original city guards and the security forces gathered nearby were all listless, and even the officers were not very energetic to fight.

Because the reasons for the rebellion of the Black Dragon Army have spread, the Black Dragon Army created by Li Wei is to oppose the rebellion of the nobles and churches in the Declaration of Human Rights!

Interestingly, most of the officers in the city guards and public security forces are from noble families and even aristocrats themselves!

As for the ordinary soldiers below, although they were all civilians, they had never participated in a serious battle. The Black Dragon Legion's march into Vanne was so smooth and there was no effective obstacle!

In addition, the officers above deliberately indulged, all the soldiers were thinking about how to save their lives in the next battle rather than killing the enemy!

They are not in the army to serve the country but sacrifice themselves!

They also know the Declaration of Human Rights, but they can’t just give up their lives just by saying freedom, equality and fraternity.

These soldiers were at least worried about food and clothing, and they did not have deep resentment towards the Kingdom of France.

On the contrary, those armed citizens had a good morale at this time, and Yoshimoto was also a political person. When forming armed citizens, in addition to testing gunshots, they specifically selected those who had a deep hatred for the aristocratic class, or citizens who were deeply influenced by revolutionary ideas.

When these people heard that Li Wei, the aristocrat of the old power, was going to do anything against each other, and restored the nobles and church privileges that were originally pressed on them, they all wanted to fight Li Wei to the end!

Unfortunately, the number of armed citizens is not large. Vanne City is a safe landlocked country. The war broke out too quickly and there was no time to build many muskets, so naturally there was no way to arm too many citizens.

Among the more than 5,000 troops, the number of armed citizens is only about 2,000.

Just when Yoshimoto was worried, he suddenly received a report from the outside - the Black Dragon Legion was called!

The Black Dragon Legion, when you hear the name, you are not a good person!

He is worthy of being a noble private army who is acting against the enemy.
