King of German Mercenaries - Chapter 283

“What kind of arms is this? Why is the combat method so shameless?” Asked the Duke of Saxony, standing on the high platform behind him, watching to the left and right. Of course, the people do not know, because the black shirt knight is still participating for the first time …

After reloading in the rear of the battle line, Steindorf took his men and returned to the front with a big swing. He ran to the vicinity of the Saxon battlefield, stopped the horse, and shot the plate knights at 50 meters. As a result, a large number of Saxon Knights were shot down and dismounted.

Seeing this, the Duke of Saxony was furious and sent 1,000 knights to pursue. Unfortunately, Steindorf and others turned their horses and ran as soon as they saw that the Saxon Cavaliers were accelerating. Because it is a light cavalry, it runs naturally faster than the Saxon Cavaliers. Therefore, the Saxony Cavaliers did not catch up. As they approached Marin’s battlefield, you were shot down by the musketeers.

When the Saxon Cavaliers turned back, the black shirt knights leaned back and shot the black guns behind them …

“Asshole! Asshole! Is this **** Marin a bit ashamed? It actually made people shoot behind the knight!” The Duke of Saxony was angered again. The black shirt knight harassed several times, already killed and injured three or four hundred Saxon knights, making the Duke of Saxony very angry. Moreover, he could not crack it.

In fact, the Duke of Saxony also has a light cavalry who can catch up with the black shirt knight. However, the number of light cavalry is small, only 500. Their usual tasks are only used to detect and pass messages. Therefore, the scale is not very large.

This is also to blame the Duke of Saxony himself, because his wealth is so large that he disdains to form a light cavalry with a weak ability. If replaced by the Duke of Milan, the cavalry of others is basically light riding, and chasing the black shirt knight will be much better.

公 The Duke of Saxony had no choice but to send 500 light riders to hunt down the Black Shirt Knight. However, such a person is not enough to combat the black shirt knight.

First, there are 800 knights. Moreover, each person had five carbines. Moreover, these people not only shoot, but also use melee.

After the encounter between the two sides, Steindorfer did not directly confront, but took the men and horses and ran to the side. Then, firecrackers fired. The 500 Saxon cavalry chased the knight in black. However, they are all light riding without armor. When facing bullets, they have no protection at all. When the black shirt knight ran back to the front of the battlefield, the opponent had been shot three times and wounded more than 100 people.

This is not enough. When the Saxons chased near the Marin battlefield, the black shirt knights turned their attention and let the musketeers’ long tube muskets attack the Saxony light cavalry again …

In desperation, the Saxony Hussars had to flee. As a result, more than 300 Saxon Hussars remained, and morale dropped to freezing points.

Then, after Steindorf returned to the front and loaded all 50 carbines with ammunition, he turned to the Saxony Hussars in turn. Both sides fought fiercely on the sides of the two-party battle front. The morale of the Saxony Hussars is weak and underrepresented. After the black shirt knights shot photo bullets, they took out their sabers and began chasing down the Saxon light cavalry … At this time, the Saxony light cavalry had only 200 people left … and the black shirt knight was only injured during the slash. All three were rescued by their comrades-in-arms.

In desperation, the Duke of Saxony had to abandon his intention to use light riding to hunt down the black shirt knight. However, the black shirt knight did not intend to let the Saxons go, and continued to approach the Saxon battlefield from the side, harassing and shooting those Saxon knights who were staying in the battle … Every time they attacked, there would be many Saxon plate knights. Dismount …

“Master Duke, if this continues, our knights will become less and less!” Lieutenant Baron Dunnitz began to worry.

“What do you say then? We can’t catch up with those cunning ‘black mice’!” Said the Duke of Saxony, annoyed.

“Will we let the infantry charge?”

“Infantry charge? Knights can’t charge, can infantry do?”

“Master Duke, the knight is precious, but the infantry is cheap …” Dunnitz whispered.

“what do you mean?”

“By summarizing my duty, there are two trenches full of spikes and a row of wooden spikes to protect the battle array across the front, which is indeed not conducive to the cavalry charge. However, you can use the infantry charge … because the infantry is not like The war horse couldn’t stop and fell into the pit … “

“It is also said that although the infantry impact is slower, it does not fall into the trench like the cavalry. But how to pass through the trench?”

“We ask the infantry to bring more planks or carry dirt. In short, we must find a way to fill these trenches, even if only one of them …”

好 “Good idea!” Duke Saxon’s eyes lit up.

只是 “It’s just that it will kill a lot of people … the musketeers on the other side are very lethal …” Duke Saxon hesitated again.

“Master Duke, we can let the regular army hold the conscripts and walk in front of them with wooden boards and dirt. What if the conscripts die, even if they die a little? As long as we can fill the trenches, our people can launch a general attack. As long as you can penetrate the enemy’s battlefield, I think your knights will not let you down! “

“Well, it makes sense. If my knights would be close to each other, they would definitely defeat them completely!” After making up his mind, the Duke of Saxony began to mercilessly let the 5000 regular infantry forces force some temporary recruits The militiamen went back to earth and wooden boards, and walked ahead …

The Duke of Saxony was desperately trying to break Marin’s defense. He knew that after this order was issued, his domestic wind evaluation in the future would be much worse. Because forcing a conscript to fill a ditch is no different from letting them die.

However, the anger of the Duke of Saxony against Marin at this time has reached an extreme. Because, his most elite 3,000 plate armor knights (including trainee knights), have been wounded almost half. For the Duke of Saxony, it was also a nuisance.

But now if he turned away, he would be killed by Marin ’s army when he crossed the river. He himself would never even look up in the aristocracy.

Therefore, for victory and dignity, the Duke of Saxony decided to desperately sacrifice the recruited militia to fill the abominable trenches that hindered the attack of the Saxon army … Then, let the highly skilled plate armor knights rush Enter the enemy line and slash the enemy in order to wash away the previous shame …

Moreover, in order to cut down the stakes that were inserted in front of him, the Duke of Saxony ordered the 500 knights to dismount, holding two-handed swords, and walking behind the infantry. Once the infantry filled the two trenches, they were responsible for cutting off the obstructing stakes with their two-handed swords. Then, took the opportunity to slash into the enemy line and keep the gap, waiting for their own knights to break in.

Marin looked through the telescope and saw that the Saxons had replaced the infantry in front of the knight, and then they were stunned. When he saw some Saxon infantry, carrying a lot of backpacks, he quickly reacted-this is the other party’s determination to fill lives with human life …

Although he was an opponent, Marin praised the Duke of Saxony in his heart. Because, this is the best choice for the Duke of Saxony. After all, trenches and wooden stakes are a magic weapon against cavalry. Because, after all, war horses are just beasts, and they do n’t know how to avoid those trenches and spikes. Moreover, the war horse could not stop the car when it ran.

Unlike infantry, they don’t walk fast, but they can easily avoid falling into the trench. Moreover, many of them threw pockets of dirt into the trenches, and they were able to fill in a path to make it easier for the Saxon army to get closer to Marin’s battlefield.

Moreover, the first batch of saxon knights who failed to charge ~ www.mtlnovel.com ~ the bodies of many people and the horses of war horses are in the trenches, which is very convenient for infantry to fill pits on this basis. If the pit is successfully filled, and the wooden picket before the battle is cut, the two sides can indeed face each other fairly.

However, although the Duke of Saxony had a good idea, he ignored the lethality of the rifle …

You know, before the battle, Marin had 2,500 musketeers. The 2500 musketeers took turns firing continuously, and the infantry ran slowly. When they ran to the front, God knew how much was left …

So, this arrangement of the Duke of Saxony is wise, but it ignores the attack of the Musketeer. What’s more terrible is that in the process of advancement, the Saxon infantry was passively fired by Marin’s musketeers as targets without the musketeers.

And, at the edge of the battlefield, 800 black shirt knights who also use muskets are still staring …

Marin called the herald and ordered the musketeers to load ammunition and prepare for firing. At the same time, Steindorff was also ordered to go to the enemy infantry flanks and shoot the dismounted knights that he saw behind the infantry in the telescope …

Although Marlin didn’t guess that the dismounted knights were specifically used to cut wooden stakes, he knew that those knights on foot must have very important combat tasks. If they are rushed into the battle, it will indeed bring a lot of casualties. At least, the musketeers are easily hacked …

When Steindorfer received the order, he took the knights in black shirts and walked on both sides of the saxon infantry in progress, specifically to kill the dismounted knights hiding behind the infantry. These walking knights, although they were blocked by infantry in front, could not be hit by the musketeers. However, the black shirt knights coming from the flank can find them relatively easily in the side direction, and then use a carbine to kill them …
