Chapter 469: The thief captures the king first
Welcome you, please remember the address of this site :, mobile phone reading, so that you can read the latest chapter of the novel "The Emperor's Rise" at any time ...
In terms of equipment, Marin's front row spearman is superior to the Swiss spearman. This is because the helmet worn by Marin ’s spearman is equipped with a face shield for greater protection.
Moreover, Marin also put his elite spearman in the front row and put on a skirt made of "Mahjong mat". These "mahjong mat" wood chips are also nailed with iron plates for good protection. At least, when the enemy stabbed himself in the lower body, the "Mahjong mat" skirt wrapped with iron pieces had good protection.
Therefore, although the combat experience is not as rich as those of the Swiss veterans, but by virtue of their advantages in equipment, the two sides have evenly tied.
However, Marin knew very well that the soldiers and spearmen of his men's melee ability are not as good as the Swiss spearmen who have many years of rich stabbing experience.
The reason why Marin's elite spearman can tie the Swiss is because the Swiss are still not very suitable for the East Frisian spearman with mask and skirt protection. Over time, once those Swiss veterans got used to it, the East Frisian spearman must have failed. After all, the East Frisian army did not rely on the spearman to win.
Therefore, after seeing the knights of Brandenburg finished, Marin decisively transferred the black shirt knight to the middle side to use it to kill the front row of Swiss spearmen.
Regardless of whether the Swiss spearman is wearing half-length plate armor, he must kneel in front of the musket.
In fact, Marin originally intended to mobilize the 3,000 musketeers. However, those musketeers are all musketeers. The biggest problem is that the matchlock shooters must maintain a distance of 1 meter from each other. Otherwise, Mars flying from the flaming rope on his arm may ignite the gunpowder of the comrade-in-arms, which is very unsafe.
And now in the Bossa coalition camp, it can be described as crowded. Everyone was close together, and there was obviously no place for a matchlock shooter to stand. Fortunately, those black shirt knights who use a clockwork torch are not ignited with a match. Therefore, those black shirt knights can be close to each other. Even, you can use the gap to open fire.
Therefore, Marin simply let those black shirt knights squeeze in to kill the opponents wearing plate armour. As for the three thousand ignited matchlock gunmen, Marin simply ordered-let them follow the engineers to fill the pits and smash the wall, so as not to waste manpower ...
At this time, with the passage of time, it was already more than 6 o'clock in the morning, and the sky began to shine. The situation on the battlefield has gradually become clearer.
Marin discovered that the elite of his own army and the elite of the enemy were crowded near the fence. As the pit filling and wall smashing work continued, more people entered the fence.
Moreover, the Saxon army in the south was relatively unlucky, and it was completely disrupted by the er of the nearly 30,000 Bossa coalition forces. At this time, those Saxony officers were gathering troops and driving away the civilians, and had no time to fight.
On the middle and north roads, the Swiss mercenaries on the middle road seem to be accustomed to scuffles. The Swiss veterans in the front row are fighting the impact of the East Frisian spearmen without any backlash.
It was the Brandenburg army on the North Road, because the "Wolf Commando" led by Kahn broke up the formation of the dismounted knight, and it was in chaos at this time. With the help of the black shirt knight, Brandenburg's three thousand plate armoured knights are finished.
The rest are the infantry behind Brandenburg. The infantry of Brandenburg, not to mention how powerful the fighting is, its equipment is obviously very scum.
Because Brandenburg, like Saxony, is a traditional knight-dominated army. If you have the financial resources, you must give priority to equipping knights rather than infantry.
Therefore, even the elite Brandenburg infantry at the forefront did not wear half-length plate armor. Only some officers purchased the chest plate armor and other spare parts themselves, and put them on to save their lives.
In the face of such Brandenburg infantry, Marin had full confidence in his elite spearman. It was only a matter of time before the Brandenburg infantry defeated North Road.
In addition, Marin discovered the location of Frederick III and Joachim I through the telescope-they were both in the command car behind the Swiss Spearman's Phalanx, and there were few guards ...
However, the 20,000 main force led by Marin is impossible to reach the enemy formation to capture the two. Because, they are blocking tens of thousands ...
However, after looking through the telescope to the southwest, Marin found that the soldiers of Woolf Esbrand and Saqqara were driving and frightening the people of Brandenburg and Saxony to maintain their The impact of the Saxon army.
However, on their left, there is a blank space, which can be bypassed behind the enemy formation ...
Therefore, what Marin has to do now is to command the reinforcements of Woolf and Saqqara, divide the horses, and attack the command vehicle behind the enemy line, preferably to capture Frederick III and Jokim I.
Of course, there is no walkie-talkie at this moment, and the messenger can't wear this crowd. So, Marin looked at the commander around him, and asked him to send a signal according to the code book to command ...
"Dub Da Da Du Da Da Da Da Du Du ......"
A series of trumpets sounded on the battlefield, and Qing Yue was louder. Moreover, Marin also asked the commander to blow it several times, facing the southwest ...
Woolf Esbrand and Saqqara are happily driving the nearly 30,000 Brandenburg and Saxony men. Suddenly, they heard the bugle ...
Both were stunned. After all, they also heard the command of the bugle for the first time. Moreover, although they have received training before, they have forgotten what the trumpet stands for.
Fortunately, there was a square leader under Saqqara who seemed interested in the meaning of the trumpet, and carried the entire codebook. When Saqqara recruited the leader of the phalanx, the other party told him and Woolf Esbrand-the horn said that the enemy leader was in the middle and we should send troops around the enemy to capture it ...
Woolf Esbrand and Saqqara immediately let their guards lie down as stools, and the two of them stood up and began to observe the situation with a telescope ...
"Sure enough, we can send people to the left to go behind the enemy ... It seems that the tank inlaid with gold is the enemy leader?" Woolf Esbrand said in surprise.
"It seems so, then, who of us used to capture those two electors?" Sakara asked.
In fact, Saqqara also wanted to take soldiers to capture the two electors alive. It was a great contribution to capture the enemy leader. However, he was only a rising officer, but also an acting regimental commander. He was inferior to Woolf Esbrand in the reinforcements and had to wait for instructions from Woolf Esbrand.
Sure enough, Woolf Esbrand took over the task himself, but he also gave an explanation:
"Let me take someone else, my first three rows of lancers are wearing plate armour, and there are musketeers. You also see the second floor, they are hiding next to the Swiss lancers. Your people are all recruits , I ’m afraid they might not have beaten the Swiss ... "
Saqqara nodded ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ also agreed with Woolf Esbrand. His people are indeed recruits. So far, he has only participated in the attack on the Danes. However, the Danes are also recruits ...
In the face of the Swiss spearman, even the non-elite at the end, the English mercenaries in Sakala may not be able to fight. What's more, the English spearman under his hands only wore "Mahjong Mat" armor, not many wearing plate armor. In addition, the combat experience is indeed not as rich as the soldiers of the Second Army under Woolf Esbrand. So, he gave up the idea of competing for the task. Besides, I ca n’t argue ...
In this way, Woolf Esbrand separated the elite veterans of the Second Thousand Legions under his command. The task of chasing the minions was given to the English army in Saqqara.
Taking advantage of the chaos on the battlefield, Woolf Esbrand took his elite men, discarded all the weight, and murderously bypassed the front of the Bossa Allied Forces, and went straight from the west to Frederick III on the north. The luxury command car with Jokim I ...
According to the eastern art of warfare that Woolf Esbrand had learned from Marin, it was called-"shoot a man first, then a thief and a king first ..."
