The Rise of the European Emperor

The commander of the coalition army thought very well—as long as the Cossack cavalry dared to bump into it, they would be stabbed into skewers by the spearman's spear...

However, the Cossacks of the North Sea State are different. Marin himself is a wretched guy, and the officers under his command also like to grow wretched. For example, Captain Jurgen is a wretched guy...

Jurgen was a German Cossack who originally served in the First Army as a scout cavalryman. He grew up on a horse farm in the Alsace region as a young serf in charge of raising horses. Because he has been dealing with horses all year round, Jurgen has practiced superb riding skills.

It's just that Jurgen initially served as the Scout Cavalry of the First Legion, and barely became the squad leader of the Scout Cavalry. But the First Legion was mainly infantry, even if there were cavalry, they were Lancers in half armor. Although Jurgen has superb riding skills, he is not like those Lancers who practiced martial arts since childhood. Therefore, in the First Legion, he was not reused.

When Marin was engaged in a Cossack village in the Jutland Peninsula, Jurgen went there with his fellow countryman Alsace to serve as a German Cossack officer.

In fact, Jurgen did nothing worse than his hometown Alsace. It's just that Alsace took advantage of the name. Because Marin was a Warcraft player in his previous life, and he was too impressed with the name of Lich King Arthas. Then, by virtue of his name, Alsace stood out among a group of German Cossack officers and became the commander of the legion. Jurgen, on the other hand, became the head of the First Cossack Cavalry Regiment second only to the head of the legion (the Cossack Cavalry Legion has not yet set up a deputy head of the army, and the status of the head of the first regiment is higher than that of the second head and others. the highest position).

As a scout cavalry, Jurgen's Cossack cavalry regiment's first priority is not to copy guys up and slash at people, but to kill and injure the enemy wretchedly, and at the same time pay attention to saving their lives. And this is also the habit of scouting cavalry. After all, it is very important for the scouts to save their lives, lest the information cannot be passed on.

Jurgen's combat purpose is - if he can't see the advantages to take advantage of, he will never rush to kill people easily. Unless, the commander-in-chief asks to go all out...

Now, it is obviously not the time to desperately. Therefore, the three Cossack cavalry regiments seemed to be coming aggressively, but they slowed down when they reached the front of the enemy's formation. Then, the Cossack cavalry, who had been heading straight for the enemy, suddenly turned around and rushed to the left, avoiding the spear array of the enemy infantry...

But when passing by the enemy's spear array, Jurgen shouted:

"Throw!"

Then, hundreds of slender and poor-quality spears were used as javelins and thrown at the spearmen in front of the enemy army...

Those squatting spearmen in the front row were still waiting for the enemy to hit them. As a result, the enemy feinted and did not bump into him stupidly. Just when they breathed a sigh of relief, a "spear rain" suddenly fell from the sky, and hundreds of spears flew over like raindrops...

How powerful is the kinetic energy of the spear? Although the throwing distance of the spear is definitely not too far, but the weight of the spear is there. When the spears fell from mid-air and pierced the spearmen in the front row of the enemy army, many spearmen who had no time to react were directly pierced by the thrown spears. Some unlucky ones were even nailed to the ground...

"Puff puff……"

"what……"

The sound of spears piercing flesh came from the enemy's position, as well as the screams of infantrymen who were speared...

However, these Cossack cavalrymen did not turn around and charged before and after passing by the enemy's infantry formation. Because the spear array has not been broken. Forcibly charging at this time is tantamount to death.

So, these Cossacks went around in a circle and went directly back to the head of the pontoon bridge. Of course, most of them went around, and there were three or four hundred people who stayed behind and went around to the rear of the coalition infantry phalanx...

What do these people want? They are waiting for the opponent to move...

If the infantry phalanx is shrunk there, you will be like a hedgehog, and it will be difficult to attack. But once the hedgehog starts to move, there will be more loopholes...

Therefore, these three or four hundred Cossack cavalry were planning to wait for the enemy to move, and charge from behind...

Obviously,

The commander of the coalition forces was not stupid, he knew that he could not move casually, so he had to stay where he was.

However, those Cossack cavalry who returned to the bridge brought another batch of low-quality slender spears-apparently, they still wanted to throw javelins...

Of course, this trick is only effective against the enemy infantry in front of you. Because, this infantry is mainly a conscript, and there are no long-range weapons at all. There were no muskets, nor crossbows. Even the spears are inferior spears.

Therefore, Jurgen dared to throw the javelin to play with confidence because his opponent had no long-range firepower. If the opponent had Musketeers, he would never dare to act like this...

...

In the front, a Cossack cavalry threw spears as javelins, and a regiment of Cossack cavalry behind them showed their flaws while waiting for them to move... The coalition commander Varok was aggrieved, but he just didn't dare to move...

If he has taken Marin's military class, he will know that there is a saying called "arms against each other"...

Almost all of the three or four thousand conscripts he led were spearmen (spears are the lowest-cost weapon and are very suitable for conscripts). If the Cossack cavalry charged only with sabers, they would be restrained by them instead. Because the spear array really restrains the charge of melee cavalry.

However, the Cossack also has the skill of throwing a spear as a javelin. Therefore, Jurgen simply used the Cossacks as javelin cavalry, making the enemy unable to fight back.

At this time, Durm's black-shirted knights came over with 1,000 horses. Jurgen was overjoyed. After throwing away all the spears in stock, he came to Durm and said:

"Master Durm, please let your black shirt knights cooperate with me to fight against this group of enemies!"

Durm asked:

"How to cooperate?" He had just crossed the river and didn't quite understand the situation.

"It's like this. The enemy army on the opposite side only has spearmen and no long-range weapons. I think, please, your black-shirted knights, put your guns around the enemy's formation with peace of mind, aim slowly, and shoot the enemy..."

"What if the opponent rushes out?" Durm's black-shirted knight couldn't beat the spearman in melee. After all, Montenegro's only real weapons are carbines and sabers.

"It's okay, my Cossack cavalry will be on the sidelines for your men to raid. If they dare to rush out, we will attack the opponent's flank..."

"Okay!" Durm nodded in agreement.

Then, the 1,000 black-shirted knights who had just crossed the river began to reload their carbines...

Generally, each black-shirted knight has at least three short guns, or even five. So it took a while to load all the carbines.

After the black-shirted knights finished loading, they followed Jurgen's instructions and came dozens of yards away from the enemy's formation, and comfortably shot the enemy's spearman with muskets...

"Bang-bang-bang-bang--" bursts of gunfire came, and many coalition infantry fell down...

At this time, Jurgen led three Cossack cavalry regiments to cover the black shirt knight on the flank of the black shirt knight...

The black shirt knights generally have 5 carbines, so after they finish a round, they throw the fired carbine into the leather pouch on one side, and take out another one from the leather pouch on the other side to fill it up. Carbine, continue to aim and shoot slowly...

At such a short distance, and stopping to aim again, how can there be no reason to miss it? Even if the hit rate of the musket is low, when the 5,000 bullets of the 1,000 black shirt knights have been fired, the coalition infantry has already suffered more than a thousand casualties.

"Oh, I can't stand it!"

When the black-shirted knights finished their second round of loading and ran to aim and shoot again, some spearmen of the coalition army finally lost their composure. They broke away from the formation, held their spears, and rushed towards the Montenegrin knights dozens of yards away like madmen. Under their leadership, the undisciplined licensed soldiers began to rush forward in a swarm, trying to kill those nasty black-shirted knights.

However, they forgot that there were Cossack cavalrymen with soy sauce...

"Good opportunity! Brothers, draw your swords and charge!" After speaking, Jurgen took the lead himself, brandishing his saber, and charged towards the enemy's flank...
