The Battle of the Rue Saint Antoine

The battle of the rue saint antoine was a grueling advance through seven, count them, seven barricades. The soldiers hugged the walls of the buildings as best they could to avoid the projectiles from above and below. But though under constant attack, the column managed to keep moving forward and clear their way through the six new barricades. That left them at the base of the big mother that they had got in to the first time. At this barricade, the two sides waged an intense fire fight that lasted nearly a half hour, but the barricade held.
