The Rise of the European Emperor

Charlie, Earl of Geldon, was very patient. Before, during the siege, Earl Charlie did not take out 600 musketeers, but hid them in the snow.

Because, Count Charles knew very well—musketeers were of little use in a siege. On the contrary, it is defending the city, and its power is invincible. After all, the defending side could hide behind the battlements and safely reload their ammunition and shoot out of the firing holes. On the siege side, the musketeers had to stand under the city wall and shoot because of their range. But then, the musketeers became a living target for the enemy on the top of the city.

Therefore, Charlie, Earl of Geldon, did not take out 600 Musketeers at first, but hid them in the snow, ready to take them out at a critical moment. Obviously, the decisive battle three days later is that "critical moment"...

During these three days, Marin has not been idle. Under his command, in the entire Tucheng camp, the Beihai Kingdom's army fully moved. In addition, Marin also planned to blast the main gate of Tucheng to make the gate wider. After all, the current main entrance of Tucheng can only accommodate a few people and go out of the city. If the speed of leaving the city is too slow, and encountering an opponent who likes sneak attacks, the leading troops may be defeated.

Therefore, Marin plans to blow up the Tucheng Gate at that time, so that more soldiers can leave the city in parallel. Of course, this will not explode until the day the official war begins. If it blows up early, they will have to arrange for someone to guard the gap. The original method of blowing up the entire east wall was too much gunpowder. If you just blow up the east gate, it won't cost too much gunpowder.

"My lord, even if we blow up the east gate, dozens of people will be allowed to leave the city at a time. What if the enemy army launches an attack while our army is not stable?"

"Probably not... These old-fashioned aristocrats have the best face, aren't they so 'smart' (shameless)?" Marin asked uncertainly.

Schwartz, the temporary commander of the Second Army Corps, rolled his eyes and said:

"Certainly not the other princes, but certainly Charles, Earl of Geldon. He hates you to the bone, and may not be so disciplined."

Marin also thought about it, if the army of the Earl of Geldon really might launch an attack while the North Sea country's army was not stable.

So, after thinking about it, he arranged:

"Schwartz, go and gather all the chariots in the army together. When you leave the city the day after tomorrow, these chariots will go out first. Then, line up in front of the line. In this way, you will not be afraid of a sudden attack by the enemy. It's gone!"

The unicycle is the unicycle invented by Yu Dayou. Of course, Yu Dayou is only 9 years old at the moment, and he is one year younger than Caesar. Naturally, it is impossible to invent any unicycle. Therefore, in the future, this car can also be called a Marin chariot.

The front end of the unicycle,

There are four sharp spears. If the bottom end of the bipod at the rear of the car is sharpened and stuck in the ground, it will form a stable triangular structure with the wheel. At this time, if the enemy rushes up, it is equivalent to hitting the tip of the spear on the front of the car. Even cavalrymen are inevitably stabbed into kebabs.

Moreover, when not fighting, the four spears at the front end of the unicycle can also be removed and inserted vertically on the side of the frame. At this time, the unicycle becomes an ordinary unicycle, which can be used for the task of material delivery.

Marin has a soft spot for unicycles, because unicycles transport supplies and can ignore most terrain. Even in the mountains with low slopes, unicycles can easily pass through and transport supplies for the army.

Moreover, the unicycle of Beihai Kingdom is a Chinese-style unicycle made by Marin. That is to say, a wheelbarrow with the center of gravity in the middle has more than double the loading capacity of a wheelbarrow with the center in the front end in Europe, and can reach five or six hundred pounds of cargo. The reason why Marin attaches so much importance to the wheelbarrow has a lot to do with the phrase "the victory of the Huaihai Battle was pushed out by the masses with a small cart" said by Mr. Chen.

In addition, after learning Yu Dayou's unicycle technology, Marin found that as long as the unicycle is simply modified, the unicycle can be used for both transportation and combat tasks.

For example, there are now tens of thousands of Chinese-style unicycles in the Beihai National Army. And these unicycles, as long as the spearhead is inserted in the front end, can be used as Yu Dayou's unicycle, which is so easy to use...

With so many unicycles around, Schwartz was easy to mobilize the unicycles. He just freed up 2,000 unicycles, unloaded the grain cargo, and placed the spearhead on the side in front, and it became Yu Dayou's unicycle chariot that could be used as a chariot. . And this time the city was unearthed, Marin planned to use the 2,000 unicycles as the vanguard. If the enemy doesn't make a sneak attack, that's all, if it does, it's just to let them taste the power of a unicycle...

...

Three days passed in a flash, and on the morning of the third day, the Beihai Army was finally ready. After breakfast, the Beihai Kingdom army lined up in Tucheng, planning to leave the city...

But what surprised the Allied Forces of the Eight Kingdoms was that the Beihai Kingdom's army did not come out directly, but first launched the blasting...

The demolition leader, Doni Tserui, took the members of the demolition team and used several powder kegs to bury them under the roots of the earth wall near the city gate. Then, start lighting...

With the sound of a huge explosion, the eastern gate of the Tucheng Camp of the Beihai Army was completely paralyzed. Then, Marin began to arrange for his men to clear the mud blocks at the door to facilitate the army's travel.

...

The violent explosion shocked the allied forces of the eight kingdoms outside the city. They thought it was the Beihai Kingdom's army that fired, but when they saw it, it turned out that the other party was just bombing the city gate...

"It's really worth it, actually blowing up the Tucheng Gate... Tsk tsk, if they fail, they won't be able to escape back. After all, the city gate was bombed by them..." Brunswick—— Henry the Duke of Lüneburg clicked his tongue.

"Isn't that bad? We just took this opportunity to completely defeat them. Marin has no way out this time, so don't blame us for destroying the North Sea Kingdom!" Brunswick - Duke of Wolfenbüttel sneered. .

Charlie, Earl of Geldon, looked at the two powerful bosses who were bickering and didn't say anything after thinking about it. However, he had already made up his mind - he planned to send a team of cavalry to surprise the opponent while the enemy was out of town. If you can take advantage of the chaos to kill important people in the enemy army, it will be even better.

...

However, when the army of Beihai Kingdom came out of the city, Earl Geldon was dumbfounded-because, he saw that the first out of the city was a chariot with a spear inserted in front of it...

In particular, when Count Charles saw the bipods of those spearheaded chariots piercing the dirt, he knew that his plans for a cavalry raid had gone bankrupt...

Count Charles deeply understands that this method of inserting the rear bipod into the soil is far more sturdy than the soldiers in the front row holding spears. Even if those soldiers crouched down and raised their spears forward, they would not be better able to withstand the impact of cavalry than this fixed method...
