The Rise of the European Emperor

But Frederick III's reaction was still a bit late, because he was still behind the Bossa coalition, and his messengers arrived in front, even on horseback, it would take a while.

Then, taking advantage of this free time, many of the farmers walking in the front, after hearing the shouts of the Marin army, decisively threw away the sacks filled with sand and began to run to both sides...

Coincidentally, the Bosa coalition infantrymen who were monitoring these farmers were at the back of the tens of thousands of farmers. Facing the farmer behind, they might be able to hold back. However, facing the front row farmers who are separated by many people, they have nothing to do...

However, these farmers ran in a mess, and some even ran straight ahead. At this time, Schwartz simply ordered to stop shooting, but let the soldiers command with shouting:

"Don't run forward, don't run forward! Run to both sides! Go further and shoot!"

Schwartz was worried that the enemy would take advantage of the opportunity of the peasants who were running forward, and follow them forward to fill the pit in front of the trench. Therefore, a stern warning was issued to those farmers who were running around.

But at this time, those farmers have long been in chaos, so who cares about Schwartz's warning? They are still running around in their own way...

Schwartz won't tolerate them messing around. If the enemy takes advantage of the momentum to rush up, it will be bad. So, he gritted his teeth and ordered:

"The first row of musketeers, aim and shoot the peasants who run forward!"

So, the musketeers followed the order and raised their guns one after another, aiming at the farmers who had rushed into the distance of 40 yards, and pulled the trigger... Driven by the trigger, the match rope went straight down into the medicine pool, and the ignition was successful...

"Snapped--"

"Clap-pop-"

"Clap-pop-pop-"

There was a burst of irregular gunfire, and hundreds of farmers who ran to the front of the Marin army were shot and fell to the ground...

This move frightened the peasants who were running around. Facing the miserable howls of the fallen peasants, the peasants who were running around finally reacted and no longer dared to run forward...

Therefore, most farmers rationally chose to run parallel to both sides. However, a small number of peasants who are not very smart, probably too frightened, choose to run back to avoid the "terrible" musketeers...

Looking at these farmers running around, Marin also had a headache. Fortunately, Schwartz responded quickly and stopped them from running around. Otherwise, these farmers who run around will really run to the front of their own army.

Although there are two trenches, these farmers who run around have no chance to attack their army formations. However, they all ran to the front, but they would block the sight of the Musketeer. Therefore, Schwartz's ordering of the Musketeers to kill the chickens and show the monkeys is a very correct approach.

"Huh? It seems that the opponent's army is not blocked by a trench similar to ours, and they don't even insert the slanted wooden pickets... It would be great if... these farmers could rush into the enemy's line..." Malin suddenly thought.

Unfortunately, this is just a thought. after all,

The trenches that Marin dug, although resisted the enemy, also restrained himself. As for why not use Yu Dayou's chariot? Because the main task of Marin's main force this time is to hold the enemy, not to defeat the enemy. Therefore, those Yu Dayou unicycles did not launch Lübeck at all. It was the reinforcements of Woolf Esbrand and Saqqara who had prepared a lot of such vehicles.

At this time, the chaos of the tens of thousands of farmers in the middle of the battlefield continued. Although, the order of Frederick III was conveyed, but it was useless. Because the more than 2,000 Bossa Allied infantrymen who supervise the farmers can only watch the farmers in the back, and they can't reach the farmers in the front...

Even if you want to kill the peasants who run away in front, you have to pass the thousands of peasants in the back, right? Who made the supervising soldiers stand behind the tens of thousands of farmers in order to guard against musket shooting...

As a result, the tens of thousands of farmers in the middle of the battlefield appeared in two completely different states - the farmers in the front, because the Bursa coalition soldiers who were supervised at the back could not reach them, so they boldly put down the sacks with soil and began to attack them. Running to the left and right. However, the Bosa coalition soldiers who supervise them have nothing to do with them...

At the same time, the thousands of people behind the tens of thousands of farmers were threatened by the swords and guns of the 2,000 soldiers of the Bursa coalition, so they did not dare to move and maintained good discipline.

In the end, the peasants in the front, about seventeen or eight hundred men, managed to escape to both sides of the Marin army. The Bursa coalition had originally sent some cavalry to chase, but they were all beaten by Marin's musketeers.

Although there are many heavy armored knights in Brandenburg and Saxony, no matter how thick the armor is, facing the East Frisian musketeers who use the Mushkert musket, they can only flee. If you are hit by a 50-gram lead bullet, you will be killed or injured. Plate armor is also very weak against such heavy projectiles...

However, the brains of these ancient farmers are probably not very good. There were obviously two or three thousand farmers running from the front to the sides, and his own people also gave a reminder. However, there were still seven or eight hundred people. Although they ran out of the battlefield from the middle, when they reached both sides, they ran back to the Bersa coalition in a foolish way...

Marin put down the telescope and said helplessly:

"It's doomed to be cannon fodder, it's not that I refuse to help, it's that you are doomed to death..."

In the rear of the Bosa coalition, Frederick III also saw problems on the battlefield. After seeing most of the people in the front row of tens of thousands of farmers run away, Frederick III suddenly woke up:

"It turns out that even if the farmers are forced to fill the pits, they can't go to too many farmers at once!"

This time, the Bosa Allied Forces are more farmers. It looks like a lot of cannon fodder. But in fact, under the loud reminder of Marin's soldiers, these captured farmers may not be willing to be cannon fodder...

So, Frederick III made a decisive decision - ordered those supervising soldiers to retreat with the remaining thousands of people and pull them away from a safe distance...

"Why did you withdraw these peasants? Lord Frederick, have you given up filling the two pits of the enemy?" Joachim I asked inexplicably.

"No, Joachim, I just discovered that it may not be a good thing to put too many farmers into the battlefield at one time. Because the troops in charge of supervision can't manage farmers who are too front row."

"So, I plan to divide the remaining 7,000 people into three waves, each with more than 2,000 farmers, followed by 500 soldiers. In this way, there is no possibility of catching the fleeing farmers in time. Just now, you saw it too—most of the farmers who were too far away from the supervisory unit ran away..."

Joachim I recalled the situation just now, and nodded:

"That's true, then, let's get it in batches..."
