Of course, Marin didn't just make a splash and not attack. If there is no real offensive pressure, it will be easy for the Bossa coalition to mobilize reinforcements to the west when reinforcements launch a real attack on the west.

Therefore, Marin chose an attack point on the east side of the Bossa coalition camp. This point of attack is the east gate of the Bossa coalition camp and the main gate of the Bossa coalition camp......

Outside the east gate of the camp of the Bossa coalition army, there was no tunnel. Otherwise, when the army goes out of the camp, it will not be able to get out. Moreover, in order to facilitate the entry and exit of the army, the main gate of the camp was made very wide, about 30 meters wide.

Moreover, Dongdaemun also has three gates, all of which are made thick and strong. At night, a large number of defenders were also arranged at the East Gate to guard these three gates to prevent enemy attacks.

Not only that, but at night, behind the three gates on the east side of the camp, there were also bright cars parked against the camp gate to prevent the camp gate from being knocked open by the enemy.

However, these arrangements were in vain. Because, Marin brought the artillery with him......

The shells of the 6-pounder cannon were used to smash the door, perhaps with average power. However, the heavy shells of the 18-pound short-barreled Cullen cannon were used to smash the camp gates, and that could not have been better.

After all, in any case, the gate of the temporary camp is certainly not as strong as the city gate. Not to mention the gates, even the walls are nothing more than mud-pasted earthen walls, and some are simply wooden fences. Such a wall will definitely not be able to stop the bombardment of the 18-pounder gun......

Sure enough, as Marin expected, under the heavy bombardment of more than a dozen 18-pounder short-barreled Karen guns, the three heavy wooden doors at the east gate of the Bosa coalition camp were blasted open......

Seeing that the east gate was in danger, Frederick III immediately sent a large number of elites to block the gate and never let Marin's army break through the camp.

But Marin did not let the main force rush into the camp gate at all, but suspended the shelling and switched to muskets, shooting at the elite enemy troops blocking behind the gate.

Under the continuous platoon of gun fire, many soldiers of the Bossa coalition army fell inside the east gate of the eastern camp of the Bossa coalition army......

At the same time, Marin's men, armed with sapper shovels, were methodically digging earth to fill in the two trenches to the east of the Bossa coalition camp.

As long as those trenches were filled, even partially filled, it would make it easy for the army to pass. What the? You say the walls of the Bossa coalition camp? That's too easy, use artillery to blast it away......

However, before launching a general attack, Marin did not intend to blast through the walls of the Bosa coalition camp. Because, once the wall is broken, it is equivalent to the beginning of the decisive battle.

However, now Marin does not have enough strength and self-confidence, and immediately fights a decisive battle with the main force of the Bossa coalition army. Therefore, Marin maintained the status quo, but in front of the three wooden gates of the east gate of the camp that were blasted open, he used musketeers and shot hundreds of coalition soldiers.

Frederick III and Joakim I were apparently aware of the importance of the East Gate, and in order to resist the onslaught of Marin's army on the camp, they sent several thousand men to support the East Gate.

However, Marin's army did not rush directly through the three wooden gates of the East Gate, which were blasted open, but used musketeers to shoot inside. As long as the soldiers of the Bossa coalition who dared to show their faces, whether they wore plate armor or no armor, they were of little use in the face of those hundreds of muskets. For Mushkert muskets, it doesn't make much difference whether they wear plate armor or not......

Under these circumstances, Marin's musketeers, through the three wooden gates of the eastern gate that had been blasted open, killed and wounded hundreds of Bosa coalition soldiers in one go.

On the side of the Bossa coalition army, they knew that it was dangerous to guard the east gate, but they did not dare not give up. After all, it wouldn't be a good thing to let Marin's army burst in. Therefore, knowing that the danger was known, a large number of soldiers still went up to the top......

……

At the same time, a few kilometers west of the Bossa coalition camp, an army of up to 18,000 men was ready to go......

After using the Kong Ming lantern to send a signal to contact Marin's headquarters, Woolf. Esbrand and Saqqara chose to wait. Because, as mentioned in Marin's previous order, wait for the main force to start fighting for half an hour before launching an attack......

Obviously, whether it's Woolf. Both Esbrand and Saqara understood that the main force wanted to use this half hour to draw the attention of the Bossa coalition to the east. This way, it will be much easier for them to launch a sneak attack from the west. At least, there will be no resistance from the army......

Guessing it's almost time, Woolf. Both Esbrand and Saqqara stood up and prepared to lead the attack.

However, Woolf. Esbrand said suddenly:

"Saqqara, I suddenly had a great idea!"

Saqqara was a little puzzled and asked:

"What thoughts?"

"I plan to bypass the western front, go to the south of the Bossa coalition camp, and break through to the Bossa coalition camp from there!"

Puzzled, Saqqara then asked:

"Why?"

"What kind of troops are stationed in the area south of the Bossa coalition camp, do you know?"

Saqqara nodded and replied:

"Of course, that's 30,000 people."

"Yes, that's 30,000 people from Brandenburg and Saxony, not the main force of the enemy. However, there was no wall between them and the camp of the main forces of the Bossa coalition army......"

Sakara thought for a moment and asked uncertainly:

"You mean...... Taking advantage of the fact that there is no wall between the civilian garrison of the Bossa coalition army in the south and the camp of the Bossa coalition army, break through from that side? ”

Woolf. Esbrand nodded, then said:

"Yes, according to the intelligence, there is no wall between the 30,000 Minzhuang garrison and the camp of the Bossa coalition army. Once you break through from there, you won't be blocked by a wall. To attack from the west, you must first break through the proposed camp for Hamburg prisoners of war. Then, the walls of the large battalion of the Bossa coalition army themselves were attacked...... In this case, it is very time-consuming. Moreover, when passing through the camp of the prisoners of war in Hamburg, it was easy to alarm the soldiers of the coalition army in Bossa......"

"But...... If we attack the Minzhuang camp of the Bossa coalition army in the south, it will also alarm the soldiers of the Bossa coalition army......" Saqqara was a little puzzled.

Woolf. Esbrand shook his head and said:

"It's different, first of all, there is no wall between the original Minzhuang garrison of the Bossa coalition army in the south and the camp of the Bossa coalition soldiers. As long as you break through, there is nothing in the way. In addition......"

Woolf. After a pause, Esbrand said:

"Saqqara, you've been following your lord for so long, you should have heard of the tactic of attacking the enemy's main force with a rout, right?"

Saqqara thought about it, and there really was. Marin once mentioned that on the battlefield, there is a method of warfare, which is to attack the weak part of the enemy army first, and then, crush this part of the enemy army, and drive them to attack the enemy's main position. After these routs are driven to the position where the enemy's elite soldiers are, they will destroy the formation of the enemy's elite soldiers, causing the opponent's elite soldiers to maintain a tight battle formation.

Then, our army followed the routs and slaughtered the enemy's elite soldiers......

At this time, the elite troops of the enemy army will be very uncomfortable. They wanted to fight back, but they were attacked by their own rout, and the formation was destroyed. If it is serious, it may even lead to being directly overwhelmed by the defeated troops, and it will be chaotic without a fight.

Of course, there are countermeasures for this situation. That is, the elite troops were ruthless, and they killed their original comrades-in-arms, that is, those defeated soldiers, and strictly forbade them to rush to their own positions. Otherwise, kill the routs who rush directly to frighten them, and then direct them to pass on both sides so that they do not storm the main formation.

It's just that this is familiar to the Chinese army. At present, the European armies are not very familiar with this obscene method of warfare. And Woolf. Esbrand, hoping to take advantage of the fact that the current European armies are unfamiliar with this method of warfare, chose the Minzhuang camp at the southern end of the Bossa coalition camp as a breakthrough point to attack the main camp of the Bossa coalition army. Then, drive out the incapable people and force them to flee in the direction of the camp of the soldiers......

You know, that's 30,000 people......

With so many people, being driven to the camp of the soldiers, it must have been able to cause great chaos. It may even lead those Bossa coalition soldiers to panic or even flee together......

Saqqara probably thought of this as well, so he shrugged his shoulders and said:

"Okay, anyway, you're the main general, and I'm the deputy, so it's as you say......"

Then, the 18,000 coalition forces turned a corner, and instead of attacking directly from the west, they turned to the south......
