Chapter 641: Robin Hood bandits attack

In a humble camp in the Sherwood Forest in northern Nottinghamshire, England, a conspiracy is unfolding. The two people who conspired were the top two Robinson and Hanks who were high on the list of the British royal rewards-they are the head and the deputy head of the Robin Hood Rogue.

Of course, both of these names are fake, and their real names are Koster and Maric, respectively, and are under the command of Marin. This time, they received the Marlin's secret order before they came together to discuss.

"Hi Koster, what do you say this time?" Maric asked.

Coste shrugged indifferently and said:

"What else can I do? Of course it is the task! Also, Marić, here, my name is Robinson, don't call it wrong, it will reveal your identity."

Marić rolled his eyes and said:

"You didn't call me destiny, and I never saw you call me Hanks."

After talking, the two laughed. Then, they called each other the two pseudonyms Robinson and Hanks.

"By the way, Coster ... Oh no, it's Captain Robinson. Do you think we have a good chance of attacking the British army camp this time? You know, that's the army station of the Kingdom of England. I'm a little bit ill ..."

"Do n’t be afraid, Hanks, the master said, the British have n’t arrived at the camp yet. At present, there are probably only grain transporters and a small number of guards. After all, most of the wartime is estimated to participate in spring farming at home . "

"What if there are many guards?"

"It's nothing. Let's send someone to scout and we will know the specific situation."

"Alright ..." Maric nodded. Then he said worriedly:

"Robinson, you said, this time we attacked the British army camp, would those English thieves be willing to go? They are all English, and if someone is patriotic, it will probably be opposed. Even, our plans may be leaked. To At that time, it's done. "

Coster thought about it, but thought Maric's worry made sense. After all, this group of thieves, following him, just to survive, not all bad guys. If some of them have such a patriotic spirit and leaked their plans to attack the British army camp, then it ’s over and they will die ...

Therefore, Koster and Maric decided to try their men first ...

For those infantrymen, there is no need for temptation at all. Because, this time the attack was only the 900 cavalry, not the infantry. So, Coster and Maric need to test, only the 900 cavalry.

So, Coste and Maric hosted a reception to entertain the 900 horsemen. Halfway through the wine, Coster and Maric began to discuss the question of "whether to oppose the king" or not.

Coste and Maricch said loudly that Henry VII was a lowly unidentified species, and that he relied on the king to take the throne and was not worthy of King of England. Therefore, the two intend to openly oppose Henry VII ...

Then the two began to observe the reaction of their men ...

Of course, it is unrealistic for two people to observe 900 people. The two also specially selected dozens of absolute cronies from the infantry and participated in this reception to observe the expressions of the horse bandits ...

Sure enough, some of the horse bandits are looking towards the British royal family. They are reduced to horse bandits, but in fact they are just forced. After all, several counties in northern England were completely deprived of food, and the nobles refused to help. If you want to live, you can only join the bandit group ...

After listening to the remarks of Coster and Maric, these people showed unhappy expressions on their faces. And the dozens of infantry responsible for helping to pour wine (infantry status is lower than the cavalry, it is normal to play as a younger brother of the cavalry), just observed their reaction ...

In the end, a total of more than forty people expressed dissatisfaction with the two's remarks, while another seventy people showed a hesitant look ...

So, Koster and Maric determined that these 120 people cannot be completely assured ...

Over the next period of time, the 120 horse bandits were transferred to the thieves regiment as officers. Seemingly promoted, but lost his eligibility for horseback fighting.

The 120 vacancies were selected by the Coster and Maric, from more than 7,000 infantrymen, who were 120 loyal to them, opposed to Henry VII, and who were good at horseback riding ...

Then, Koster and Maric provided short-term immediate combat training to the 120 newly joined bandits.

Of course, the horse bandits of the Robin Hood bandit group are actually not very good at fighting immediately. As they have deeply implemented the "16-character guideline" of guerrilla warfare, horse riding is only for the convenience of chasing and escaping, not for confronting the enemy immediately.

Therefore, these horse bandits are actually just infantry who are good at riding horses. Of course, there are some cavalry fighting methods, but they are not proficient.

However, they have never faced up with the English regular army, so the tripod of that three-legged cat is also sufficient. After all, their opponents are just ordinary rich households. In other words, they deal mainly with the guards and bodyguards of the rich. Ordinary rich households cannot naturally have large bodyguards. Therefore, 900 horse bandits can basically fight against any wealthy households, and can also complete the manor force of those little nobles.

However, this time it is necessary to impact the barracks. Therefore, under the leadership of the head and deputy heads, the horse bandits focused on training the ability to blow up the camp fence and ride horses quickly in the camp.

According to the scout's investigation, the British military camp in Warwickshire was not in the city (mainly afraid that the soldiers of the army could not control themselves and robbed in the city. In this era of Europe, the military discipline was very poor), but in Vaughan Birmingham City in the northwest of Rickshire (Birmingham still belongs to Warwickshire at this time, and West Midland County was separated in 1974) is 10 kilometers north of the north. Moreover, the entire large camp is a wooden structure, the fence is also a pile fence.

The reason for the wooden structure is mainly to facilitate disassembly and take away. After all, if the English army goes north, the camp must be changed. The stone-structured camp cannot be moved away and is difficult to dismantle. The most convenient is naturally a camp with wooden structure.

As for the wooden fence is not strong? It's easy to solve, just dig a trench outside the fence. And, hey, you can place a wooden picket in the trench-this trick was used by Englishmen in the British-French War ...

If it is a positive impact on the barracks, first taste the taste of the wooden picket in the trench, maybe it will be a skewer of adult meat ...

However, this move was nothing to Marin and his men. Because, for this kind of defense line with wooden spikes inserted in the trench, Marin's army has a perfect solution in the middle of the army-with wooden boards to fill the pit ...

Coste and Maric were also mixed in the Marin Army, so naturally this is no stranger to this trick. Therefore, although the British military camp had trenches filled with wooden spikes outside the wooden fence, it did not have much impact.

By that time, 900 horse bandits, no one would carry a wooden board. In addition, they will bring a few gunpowder barrels to blow up the wooden fence.

The specific method of blasting is buried in the soil beside the wooden fence. When exploding, the power of the gunpowder barrel will overturn the wooden fence and explode a vacancy.

At this time, the horsemen stepped forward and threw the board into the trench to fill it up, so that the horses could step on the board and rush into the camp ...

Of course, if the camp is full of British troops, this trick is definitely not easy to use. Because, the British army will certainly go forward and succeed to plug the entire hole that was blasted.

However, at present the British military camp north of Birmingham City now lives mostly for the non-combatant strong and a small number of guards.

According to the spies' report, ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ The guards had only 500 infantry in total, but they only guarded the surrounding camps and were scattered into several parts. As for the wooden fences, there are no soldiers to guard.

Because there are only 500 guards, it is impossible to take care of every section of the wooden fence. At that time, as long as you send your men to choose a wooden fence that is not guarded, climb over the trench, dig a pit under the wooden fence with a small shovel, and bury the gunpowder barrel, it is easy to explode the wooden fence ...

Then, after the 900 horsemen filled the trenches, they rushed in together. Although there were 500 people on the other side, they were scattered and there was no threat.

Moreover, the characters of the horse bandits are for burning grain and grass, but not for eliminating the 500 infantry. The infantry can't find the dead ground to chase the cavalry. In the face of cavalry, the most correct way for infantry is to form a defense instead of taking the initiative. Otherwise, it will die ugly ...

As for the timing of the action, in order to hit each other unexpectedly, Coster and Maric decided to launch it at dawn. At that time, the enemy hadn't gotten up, and even if he got up, he would have to mess up for a while. The horse bandits can see the situation clearly because of the light, which is also convenient for burning grain and grass. If it is midnight, it is easy to see clearly.

After making arrangements, Coster and Maric personally led the 900 horse bandits of the Robin Hood Rogue, and left the Sherwood Forest in the name of going out to grab food. Of course, in order to avoid the eyes and ears of the English officers and soldiers, they took the path and tried to avoid the official sight of England. Otherwise, if the other party is prepared, it is not easy to attack ...

It ’s just that the brothers of Robin Hood ’s bandit are strange-the two heads demanded that each horseman carry a wooden board and a can of goat oil Quite a few). Moreover, they took a few barrels of gunpowder away ...
