The Rise of the European Emperor

Then the black-shirted knights and the Cossack cavalry circled again and continued to attack the enemy's flank. This time, after the coalition cavalry as a whole chased once, the knights' horses could no longer bear it. So, Baron Cross sent a report to several princes - the horses of the knights couldn't stand it...

Afterwards, the Knights of Montenegro freely began to torture the infantry on the enemy's flank. They rode their horses leisurely to twenty or thirty yards from the enemy's flank infantry, raised their guns, aimed and fired...

The coalition flank infantry suffered huge losses, and morale also became low. Marlin watched all this excitedly through his binoculars. He was waiting, waiting for the enemy's morale to slip to the bottom. Then, he can launch a general attack with the army.

Although it is said that the general attack can be won now, the resistance will definitely be fierce. After all, the enemy's morale has not yet drained. In this way, if a strong attack is launched, the loss will be not small.

If you wait for the opponent's morale to reach a low point, and then launch a general attack, not only will it be easier to win. Moreover, enemies with low morale are prone to collapse and flee. And the enemy army that collapsed and fled has almost no resistance...

...

At this time, on the high platform at the rear of the coalition army, the eight princes gritted their teeth. They only now understand why Marin is called the most obscene military commander. Because this thing has no glory at all. There are so many cavalry in Beihai Kingdom, but they are not used to charge, but to harass... Really... For the traditional European nobles who pay attention to glory and integrity, this is really an anomaly...

"This bastard has no glory at all, and has humiliated the nobles!" Brunswick - Henry, Duke of Lüneburg, gritted his teeth.

Charles, Earl of Geldon said quietly:

"He was originally from the bottom, and his bloodline is low. Therefore, it is normal to not understand glory..."

"Yes, he's a bitch! No wonder the princes don't like him!" Another Duke Henry also gritted his teeth.

However, no matter how they cursed Marin, the battlefield situation became more and more unfavorable for them...

The spearmen who were abused by the black-shirted knights on the side hadn't complained yet, and the allied infantry in the front row, especially the central army in the front row, couldn't take it anymore. Because, the shelling effect of solid shells is too terrifying. One shot, either missing arms or legs, or a big hole in the body, and even the head was smashed by a cement ball...

Faced with this horrific blow, they urge to step back. Otherwise, everyone will be killed by shells in front of the battle...

Seeing that the soldiers in the front row of the Chinese army were very angry, the two Duke Henry had to order the entire army to retreat as a whole, avoiding the range of the enemy's artillery and muskets.

...

When the army moved, it naturally revealed a lot of flaws. Durm, the leader of the black-shirt knights, and Arthas, the commander of the Cossack cavalry regiment, were very jealous and wanted to rush to kill them.

However, after thinking about it, they still gave up...

why? Before, on the Elbe River, they encountered three or four thousand enemy troops, and they were all conscripts, so they could easily be defeated. But the army in front of him is the main force of the enemy, and the number is ten times larger. Even if there are flaws, they are not able to break through. After all, they were not plate knights who were good at fighting hard battles, but light cavalry with sabres. If you rush over to face the spear formation, you will suffer a big loss.

Therefore, in the end, they could only take the opportunity to harass each other with carbine guns, and it would not be safe for them to retreat...

...

On Marin's side, seeing the opponent retreating, after thinking about it, he said:

"Then let's catch up! Send the order, and the whole army advances! However, pay attention to slow progress and maintain the formation!"

The artillery of the artillery in front of the North Sea Army is on wheels, which is easy to push. And the row of Yu Dayou's unicycles in front of the battle is also easy to move - just pull out the bipods behind the unicycles from the soil, and you can push them forward...

As a result, the Allied Forces of the Eight Kingdoms and Princes found depressingly—even if they retreated, the other party would relentlessly catch up...

...

At this time, Charles, Earl of Geldon looked up and pointed to the dirt ramp on the side:

"We pushed behind that dirt slope! Behind the breakthrough,

Don't be afraid of enemy fire and bullets! "

As a result, the coalition soldiers moved to the side again and retreated behind a large dirt slope.

Marin took the army to slowly press on, but when he arrived near, he found that the enemy army was hiding behind the dirt slope, which could indeed effectively prevent artillery fire.

Marin thought for a while, then looked at the sky again, only to realize that it was past noon. So he ordered:

"Just right, everyone take this opportunity to eat, and then take a rest on the spot!"

So, the army stopped the pursuit and stopped to eat...

Of course, because it was before the battle, they couldn't have time to cook. So, they could simply eat a slice of brown bread. Then, take out some beers and drink a little each as a drink.

In fact, Marin usually does not allow soldiers to drink alcohol, only boiled water. But during the battle, there was simply no time to boil the water. Therefore, you can only bring some dark beer as a temporary hydrating drink. Anyway, you won't get drunk at all.

On the other hand, the coalition forces saw that the other party was having lunch, and also took the opportunity to sit down to eat. However, their conditions are much worse. Because the eight princes were very stingy, the lunch provided to them was black bread mixed with a lot of dirt and stones. This kind of bread is hard, not only gnawing, but also difficult to digest. The soldiers soaked the black baguette in cold water for a while to soften it before swallowing it.

After eating and drinking, Marin once again boarded the temporary high platform built on the chariot and found that the dirt slope that the enemy used as a cover could be bypassed. So, he ordered the army to start to circle around, to the side of the enemy. In this way, the opponent will have no soil slope as a shield...

Afterwards, Beihai Kingdom's guns fired again, causing a large number of casualties to the enemy. At the same time, the knights in black shirts who were fighting, also caused huge casualties to the enemy.

"What's the matter, it's not the way to go on like this, we're fighting!"

So, under the command of the two Dukes of Henry, the Allied Forces of the Eight Kingdoms once again commanded the army to launch a charge towards the Beihai Kingdom Battle Front.

However, their charge did not even break through the level of Yu Dayou's unicycle...

Most of the soldiers of the First Army and Second Army of Beihai Kingdom were veterans with ten years of battlefield experience. In the face of the opponent's strong attack, they were not afraid, calmly inserted the unicycle into the soil through the bipod, and stabbed with the opponent.

Because the spearmen in the front row were all wearing breastplate armor and iron helmets, they were not afraid to stab each other head-on with the enemy. On the other hand, on the coalition side, because of insufficient military spending, few soldiers in the front row wore chest plate armor.

In this way, in the competition of mutual harm between the unicycles, the allied forces with worse equipment will naturally not have the upper hand.

At this time, Marin suddenly released a big move - he released the 1000 straw hat swordsmen in East Frisian...

These straw hat swordsmen were originally the most elite troops in the country of East Frisian, and they were all very skilled. These people generally wear rudimentary armor, wear a rain-proof straw hat, and charge with a two-handed sword.

In ancient times, all those who could use the two-handed sword to fight were the fierce generals with high martial arts or infinite power. Although they haven't fought for ten years, these people have a very strong foundation.

Moreover, this time, Marin changed their shotguns for their cannons, and their whole body was replaced with brand-new equipment-Marin let them put on a full set of rhino leather armor. In addition, a brand new steel two-handed sword was made for them...

In this way, their protection has been greatly improved without increasing the combat weight. Also, the weapons in his hands are sharper.

It should be pointed out that two-handed swordsmen exist to deal with spearmen. Spears used by spearmen, daggers and daggers are formidable. But two-handed swords can, these two-handed swordsmen are good at parrying or even cutting off the opponent's spears with their two-handed swords. Then, bully up and slash the enemy with a two-handed sword...

The rhino leather armor that Marin replaced them with, although not bulletproof. However, it is no problem to use it to defend against bows and spears.

Therefore, these 1,000 straw hat swordsmen, after putting on a full set of rhino leather armor, confidently rushed into the enemy formation from the side, and began to slash and slash, stirring up the enemy formation...

...

After a fierce fight, the enemy was finally repelled...

However, before Marin could catch his breath, a thunderous cry of killing suddenly came from behind the enemy line...

Malin Deng Gao Yuanwang - it turned out that the main force of Steindorf's Third Army came...

Steindorf is not a rookie like Alsace. When he arrived with the infantry of the Third Army, he happened to encounter a melee between the two sides.

Seeing that the enemy's attention is desperately fighting with the main force of Beihai Kingdom, ignoring the rear. The enemy cavalry was also pinned to the flank by the black-shirted knights and the Cossack cavalry.

So Steindorf, regardless of how tired the soldiers had just arrived, brought his men and horses directly, and launched a charge before the enemy reacted...

In fact, Steindorf had only eight thousand infantry in his hands. However, Steindorf cunningly let his men run away, and he started to charge from afar. As soon as his troops dispersed, he created the illusion of a charge of ten or twenty thousand people.

Of course, if the enemy was only their opponents, Steindorf would never dare to rush like this. However, Steindorf knew that his master, Marin, had a good head and absolutely understood his intentions...

...

Sure enough, the allied army of the eight kingdoms and princes who had just returned, saw about ten or twenty thousand people suddenly rushing out from behind, and was suddenly a little scared and a little overwhelmed.

Marin had some doubts at first, wondering why Steindorf dared to attack the enemy with 8,000 people. But as soon as he noticed that Steindorf's men were charging from a long distance, he immediately understood that Steindorf was bluffing to scare the opponent...

Still, Steindorf's timing was excellent. The enemy has just been repelled, and morale is low. At this time, there was a sudden scream of killing from the rear, which was really scary.

Marin also didn't intend for Steindorf's good intentions, so he climbed the high platform, drew out his command knife, and shouted:

"Warriors, the reinforcements of the Third Army are here, and they are flanking the enemy before and after us! Now, all of them are there. Except for the artillery, everyone else has picked up their swords, rushed up, and killed all the enemies!"

And Schwartz also shouted:

"All charge!"

"Go!" Stade also shouted.

The soldiers of the First Army and Second Army of Beihai Kingdom, after hearing the order, threw away their baggage (including muskets), picked up their melee weapons, and rushed towards the hesitant allied forces of the Eight Kingdoms princes like tigers descending the mountain...
