The Rise of the European Emperor

After two in the middle of the night, Marin was woken up by the guards, which was what Marin had ordered before. When Marin woke up, he quickly put on his half-body plate armor and put on a high-carbon steel helmet with a face shield. Then, got off the boat.

At this time, Schwartz had taken the soldiers who had rested for a while, and began to remove the slanted wooden pickets near the front of the formation, and began to cover the original two trenches with wooden boards that had been prepared earlier. In some parts, shovels were used directly to dig and fill. Because, covered with wooden boards, can only leave. The planks cannot withstand the heavy pressure of the artillery, and the artillery can only pass after the trenches are filled.

After everything was ready, at 3:30 in the morning, three Kongming lanterns suddenly rose in the western sky...

Soon, the Kongming lantern was also raised here. Then, the Kongming lantern in the sky in the west slowly descended and went out - it was pulled down by the rope and thought it went out.

After getting the exact signal, Marin waved his hand - "Go!"

Then, thousands of troops passed through the two trenches that had been covered and filled in an orderly manner. After passing the ditch, Marin had Schwartz rearrange the line, and then began to slowly advance...

At the same time, there was chaos in the Bosa coalition camp. Because, the Saxon scouts arranged by Frederick III discovered the change in Marin's position and reported the news to Frederick III, who had already slept.

Frederick III quickly got up, and sent someone to wake up Joachim I to discuss countermeasures together.

Joachim I came to the main tent with sleepy eyes and muttered dissatisfiedly:

"What are you doing? In the middle of the night, so that no one can sleep?"

Frederick III said solemnly:

"Joachim, I think that boy Marlin must be desperate now. Probably, he already knew that the fake reinforcements on the north road and the fake reinforcements on the west road were eliminated by us. Now, he doesn't have to let us divide our forces. The bargaining chip is probably a dog jumping over the wall and trying to fight with us!"

"Isn't that right? That kid is not blocked by the trench, and we just took the opportunity to destroy his army!"

Frederick III shook his head and said:

"It's not that easy. Although we have a lot of people, in the middle of the night, we don't adapt very well. I heard that the East Frisian army is very adaptable to night battles."

"That's true, then we can withstand these few hours, and then counterattack until dawn?" Joachim I rubbed his eyes and said.

Frederick III nodded:

"I think so too. There are still two or three hours until dawn. As long as we resist, the victory is ours!"

After that, Frederick III and Joachim I ordered together to mobilize the elite of the army to the east of the camp, intending to withstand Marin's raid in the middle of the night.

But in fact, Marin never thought of launching a general attack now. All the actions at the moment are just to attract the attention of the Bossa coalition to the front on the east side, so as to cover the reinforcements coming from the west.

So, although it was a night attack, Marin's army did not go fast. From the front of the battle to the Bosa coalition camp, it was only less than 2,000, but Marin walked for a long time.

Arriving in front of the east gate of the Bosa coalition camp, Marin found that the other party actually followed his example and dug two trenches outside the east side of the camp. Moreover, it is also full of pickets, it is simply a cottage of Chiguoguo...

In fact, Frederick III was very content with the behavior of this cottage. Frederick III knew very well that this kind of camp in the wild, because the walls were mainly wooden fences, were very weak and could easily be forcibly smashed by the enemy's night raiding troops. Therefore, he simply learned Marin's method and dug two trenches outside the fence of the camp, and the trenches were also filled with wooden pickets. As long as you fall into the ditch, you will definitely not get better...

Moreover, in order to strengthen the defense, the wall on the east side of the Bosa coalition camp was not only the wooden fence, but also covered with thick mud on the outside of the wooden fence. After drying, a simple earth wall is ready...

In this kind of earth wall, the wooden fence is completely wrapped in yellow mud.

In this way, after the earth wall is dry, not only the strength is greatly increased, but also it is not afraid of fire.

If you replace it with an ordinary wooden fence, the enemy can burn the wooden fence as long as you hold some hay and put it under the base of the wall to set fire. However, now the wooden fence is completely encased in dirt. You are on fire, but you can't light it...

Facing the two trenches filled with wooden pickets and the wall wrapped in thick soil, Marin's men and soldiers were indeed at a loss, and some were at a loss.

However, this time, Marin's real intention was not to really attack, but to make a big noise to attract the attention of the Allied Forces of Boza.

So, Marin calmly dispatched some soldiers, armed with sappers, to dig and fill holes in front of him...

And, before filling the trenches, Marin won't really make it easy for the Bursa coalition. So, he had dozens of trebuchets moved in...

These trebuchets were originally left by the Bursa coalition in the pit on the west side of the Trave River to the west of Lübeck. When the Bursa coalition left, although Frederick III ordered to destroy most of them, some of them were still intact. stayed.

So, during this attack, Marin simply sent someone to bring the more than 30 trebuchets in good condition...

Although it is said that the artillery brought by Marin can also blast away such a weak city wall. This time, however, Marin's purpose was to attract the enemy's attention and cause trouble. If the wall was torn open too early and then rushed in, it would have turned into a head-to-head confrontation between Marin's 20,000 people and the enemy's well-prepared tens of thousands.

Therefore, in order to avoid too early and the prepared Bursa coalition, Marin fought to the death. Therefore, Marin did not use the artillery to blast away the wall, but first pulled dozens of trebuchets and started throwing fireballs at the barracks through the barracks wall to create chaos in the enemy barracks.

After all, fireballs can ignite tents. Throwing some fireballs into the Bursa coalition camp and lighting the tents will definitely cause a lot of chaos to the Bursa coalition.

In short, the attack led by Marin himself was not a real onslaught, but a feint. Therefore, its momentum looks huge, but its real attack power is very general.

However, those dozens of trebuchets really brought chaos to the Bursa coalition.

These dozens of trebuchets threw balls woven from hay. Then, on top of these grass balls, add grease. After this kind of lit grass ball was thrown into the Bursa coalition camp by a trebuchet, as long as it touched the tent, it would definitely ignite and burn.

Therefore, although there were only a few dozen trebuchets, it did cause a lot of chaos to the battalion of the Allied Forces of Boza. After all, the tents where they slept at night were set on fire, and those soldiers must be fighting the fire. However, these grass balls were all greased and difficult to put out, causing great confusion and trouble for the soldiers nearby.

At the same time, although there was no real attack yet, Marin asked the soldiers to shout and shout loudly, with the intention of creating psychological pressure on the Bursa coalition forces in the Bursa coalition camp.

In this chaos, the attention of the Bursa Allied Forces was attracted to the east by Marin's "thunder and rain" attack... Mobile phone users, please browse and read for a better reading experience .
