Chapter 717: Queuing up the era

With the return of Marin, the news on the British side gradually spread to the mainland. Many monarchs on the European road have heard a news that shocked them-the once incomparable King Henry VII in England, who was the only one in England, was defeated and killed by Edward of the York family who escaped.

Of course, as for the kings and princes of Henry VII and Edward who died and lived on the European continent, they were not very concerned. At most, Edward killed thousands of nobles and noble family members at once, which seemed too brutal. However, Edward's reason is also very good-these people have participated in the Battle of Bosworth. In order to give all monarchs the greatest punishment, they killed all their families ...

Regarding Edward's statement, while European nobles felt that Edward was cruel, they even agreed with Edward's remarks. After all, they are also monarchs, most afraid of killing their men. So, while they accused Edward of cruelty, they took out the case of Edward killing the whole family of King Killers. Under the Ministry of Education-look, this is the end of the King Killers!

However, for the nobles on the European continent, the army in this war is the most concerned about them. Because, the protagonist of this battle for the throne is not Edward, but Marin ...

Previously, Marin, with a army of 40,000, defeated the 50,000 Bossa Allied Forces with 20,000 Swiss mercenaries, which was amazing all over Europe. Today, it is said that the goods brought 20,000 troops to England, and they took away Henry VII directly. The results are so amazing ...

You know, Henry VII is not a good man. He has ruled England for 30 years. The rule is quite stable. It is one of the strongest monarchs in Europe. Moreover, the English Longbowmen are famous. It took the French a hundred years to slowly reverse the battle and win.

You know, the French had many, many plate armoured knights and sent hundreds of cannons on the battlefield to defeat the English Longbowmen. But Marin did well and only took 20,000 people to cross the sea. After finishing the English army of Henry VII, the loss was actually very light. Although Edward had a French team to assist in the early stage, the French recalled the 7,000 French troops after being beaten by Henry VII in the English Channel. Many people knew about it. Therefore, the defeat of Henry VII was considered to be completed independently by Marin ’s army.

As a result, Marin's reputation in the European aristocracy circle once again became a "hot search list", becoming an important resource for the nobles after dinner.

Now, many monarchs and princes in Europe are discussing one thing-what makes Marin's army so powerful?

Everyone's views are different, and even many nobles will quarrel on the spot. But European aristocrats in this era have not yet accepted science, and their ideas are still quite conservative. After all, the influence of the Holy See is still so great ...

In addition, the nobles have an arrogance, so that the big nobles are reluctant to admit that Marin, a person from the little knight family, is above them.

So, after fierce debate, everyone finally reached a view that everyone agrees-Marin's army is well equipped ... As for Marin's commanding ability, these big nobles were deliberately ignored ...

Where is Marin's army equipment? Everyone still knows this. Before the big battle with the Bossa Allied Forces, everyone knew that the first three rows of the Marin army soldiers were all wearing chest armor, and their defense capabilities are very high ...

You know, the first three rows of infantry can wear chest plate armor. It seems that only Swiss mercenaries whose salary is three times that of other mercenaries can do it ...

In the traditional army, only aristocratic knights are qualified to wear, and they also have the financial resources to afford the cost of buying plate armor. The infantry, in the eyes of the nobles, are basically cannon fodder characters, and there is no need to equip them with plate armor, even a breastplate.

Marin went the other way, equipping infantry with chest armor and helmets. This point puzzled the nobles. Of course, there are not many knights under Marin, they can only rely on infantry. Therefore, it is reasonable for Marin to pay attention to the promotion of infantry.

Therefore, the high rate of plate armor equipment is an important conclusion drawn by those nobles, and believes that this is an important reason for Marin's repeated battles ...

...

This is only one. In addition, the monarchs and big nobles of European countries believe that the powerful fighting force of the Marin army and the large number of equipment of the muskets are inseparable ...

Because of the many battles over the years, especially the several wars fought by Marin, and the war of hegemony between Spain and France and Italy, it fully proves that the musket is very restrained knight ...

Before Marin used the Musquete musket from Spain on a large scale and "created" the famous "Marin Phalanx", the plate armoured knight was a decisive force on the European battlefield. Although the Swiss's policy also defeated the Burgundy knights, it was because the Burgundy knights were not familiar with the battle of the Swiss. Prior to this, European monarchs and nobles believed that the plate armor was an extremely important armed force.

However, the emergence of Marin, and his first to allow the army to equip the Muskete musket on a large scale, broke the knight's invincible myth. Marin's "Marin Phalanx" not only can resist the knight's charge, but also can kill a large number of plate armor knights, which is a nightmare for plate armor knights.

If Marin ’s previous battles did not prove this (after all, Marin likes sneak attacks, especially night raids), then the Spaniards used the Musquette and the “Marin Phalanx” to defeat tens of thousands of French knights. It fully proves that the large-scale use of muskets has caused the knight ’s strategic position to be seriously challenged ...

Even the monarchs and great nobles of all countries know one thing, that is, after the defeat of France in Italy, they began to consider equipping troops with muskets. After the battle of Lübeck, the failure of the Swiss mercenary made the French King Louis XII make up his mind and finally formed the first batch of French Musketeers ...

As a result, most monarchs and princes in Europe think that the musket is indeed a big killer. Probably ... it is also the biggest secret that the humble boy of Marin can win and win ...

In particular, when the 20,000 troops from Marin from England wiped out the English army with thousands of long archers without much effort, and there was not much news of casualties, the monarchs and princes on the European continent, The interest in muskets is even stronger ...

As kings and princes who were born much more noble than Marin, they never admit that their abilities are lower than Marin. After all, his blood is so noble, and Marin's blood is so low ...

It is unwilling for these monarchs and great nobles in Europe to admit that they are not capable. However, they could not help but officially Marin's success on the battlefield ... So, finally led to the emergence of a phenomenon-the musket fired in Europe ...

"Well, even the humble boy of Marin Hoffman can rely on large-scale equipment with muskets. After repeated battles and victories, I do n’t believe it. My army is equipped with muskets and will lose to others ..." This is Europe The thoughts of many monarchs and great nobles ...

So, for a time, the craftsmen in Europe who could make muskets suddenly changed from humble characters into hot characters ...

The monarchs and princes of many European countries, but those who have their own army, began to recruit those craftsmen who can build muskets and treat them as guests. Although they cannot be treated as nobles, they can also be treated with the highest treatment and courtesy for civilians.

As a result, the Musketeer has suddenly become the most popular profession in Europe, and it is well received by monarchs and princes from various countries. And the consequences of this are-European teams have introduced Musketeers, and they are introduced in a systematic manner. At the very least, during the battle, the three-row musketeers can still get together, just three shots ...

When Marin heard this news, it was a headache-Nima, the future battle ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ can be cruel ...

Obviously, in the face of volleyball, it is unrealistic to think of no casualties or low casualties. Dozens of grams of lead shot came over, and he was either killed or injured. Moreover, gunshot wounds are very difficult to cure. You should know that even in the 19th century, when the old American Civil War, soldiers shot in the limbs often faced the tragic fate of being amputated by doctors. In the previous life, Marin often saw such movies-a soldier was hit by lead bullets, and then the doctor pushed it onto the operating table ... not to perform surgery, but to saw the legs ... very bloody, very brutal, Often things get blood everywhere ...

The gunshot wounds caused by lead bullets, even the alcohol and gauze promoted by Marin, cannot be completely resolved. Alcohol and gauze can only make soldiers injured by cold weapons recover as much as possible. Can face gunshot wounds caused by dozens of grams of lead bullets ... It seems that only magic drugs like penicillin can deal with it ... because, dozens of grams of lead bullets can not only cause huge trauma to the human body, but also have toxicity. . In addition, dozens of grams of lead pellets, there are many bacteria. After the lead shot hits, it rolls a few times in the human body, and it is difficult to clean the wound with alcohol unless the meat is completely cut. However, lead shots are generally more damaging, and all the meat is cut, and people cannot survive. Therefore, people who are injured by lead bullets will inevitably get infected, and lead poisoning is extremely tricky. Like the army that fought with Marin before, most of the people who were shot by Marlin's gunman wounded failed to survive. It's not that they were killed on the spot, but that these people who were shot were mostly killed by later wound inflammation and lead poisoning, and many people couldn't survive after sawing their legs, which is quite miserable ...

"It seems that it's time to develop the magic medicine penicillin. Otherwise, the soldiers will also have to saw their legs when they are shot ..." Marin sighed, he knew that the era of queuing in Europe was coming ... 8 )
