Outside the east gate of the main camp of the Bossa coalition army, Marin's 20,000 main forces had been feinting for more than half an hour, but there was still no movement on the west side of the enemy's main camp.

Marin was very puzzled, and by the light of the torch, he took out his bulky gold pocket watch, looked at the time, and determined that the time had exceeded half an hour, and even almost 40 minutes.

"Did something happen?" Marin thought nervously.

However, Marin quickly dismissed this idea of his own. If there is an accident, there should be movement in the west. For example, the Bossa coalition found reinforcements and took the initiative to attack. However, it should also be a shout of killing. Like now, there is no movement in the west......

The Bossa coalition was obviously not willing to let Marin's engineers dig and fill the pits, so Frederick III mobilized archers, climbed ladders up the top of the earthen wall, and fired down, mainly at those who dug in the earth.

However, Marin had been prepared for this. He arranged a lot of musketeers under the wall, just waiting for the other party to come forward......

Sure enough, when an archer came up on the earthen wall, there was a burst of gunfire, and many archers from the Bossa coalition fell from the wall.

However, Frederick III was not very nervous. Because, it is already past four o'clock in the morning, and in more than an hour, the sky will begin to dawn. As long as it lasts until dawn, with the superior strength of the Bossa coalition army, it will definitely be able to resist the strong attack of Marin's 20,000 troops.

Even, Frederick III and Joakim I had their armies assembled behind earthen walls. Just wait for dawn to counterattack.

And now, the reason why the Bossa coalition army has not made much movement, and only sent people to block the east gate, is mainly because the soldiers of the Bossa coalition army, except for some scouts, no one else has experience in night battles. It would obviously be unwise to fight at night against the East Frisian army, which was good at night fighting. Therefore, the strategy of the Bossa coalition army is to drag out the time, delay until dawn, and then fight a decisive battle.

Over time, many of the two trenches outside the eastern wall of the Bossa coalition camp had been filled in by sappers from the East Frisian militia who were digging with sapper shovels.

At half past four, from the southwest of the camp of the Bossa coalition army, there was a sky-high fire......

It turned out that Woolf. When Esbrand and Saqqara led their army to the outside of the wall at the southwest end of the camp of the coalition army of Bossa, they found that the wall of the camp here was actually full of wooden fences, and there was no yellow mud on the outside.

It is no wonder, after all, that neither Frederick III nor Joakim I expected that there would be an enemy army to the west. So, the western wall is very crudely made, only a wooden fence. Moreover, outside the fence, there are no pits.

This is largely due to the fact that they conclude that there is no threat to the west. Moreover, this kind of army camp is only a temporary station, and there is no need to make it too complicated, otherwise, it will be very inconvenient to dismantle.

The reason why there was such a thick mud wall on the east side was because it was the main force of the army facing Marin on that side, and it naturally needed to strengthen the defense, so it was so complicated and strong. But that also has a disadvantage, that is, it is very troublesome to dismantle. In order to pull out the wooden stakes of the eastern wall, you must first peel off the thick crust of earth on the outside, and then you can remove the wooden stakes.

Still, it's worth it. After all, the east side faced the main army of Marin head-on. If someone breaks through the walls and storms the camp at night, it's doomed.

On the west side, since Frederick III and Joakim I had concluded that there were no enemies, the wall was poorly made, just a stake was inserted, and then a plank was nailed, and some ropes were tied, and it was done.

Not to mention, after using so many thick sticks and nails, it is quite difficult for ordinary people to dismantle those fences. Even if the fence is removed, the people behind the fence will have been ready for a long time.

This time, however, the Bossa coalition was confronted by Woolf. Esbrand. Woolf. Who is Esbrand? That's a European general who is a little good at intrigues!

Before, Woolf. Esbrand used the method of breaking the levee and flooded tens of thousands of Danish troops. In addition, he received special training in oriental tactics from Marin, so he is naturally no stranger to the method of fire attack. This is not after seeing the pure wood fence, Woolf. Esbrand immediately thought of a fire attack......

So, after coming to the fence, Woolf. Esbrand asked his men to collect firewood and grass......

Therefore, Woolf, who was originally planning to start attacking at 4 o'clock. Esbrand and Saqqara, because of the collection of firewood and grass, were only ready at half past four.

In Woolf. Under Esbrand's command, the soldiers took the haystacks from the nearby manor houses (strictly speaking, the soldiers brought the entire stacks of firewood and haystacks) and placed them evenly under the corners of the wooden fence on the southwest side of the Bosa coalition camp, and poured some grease.

Then, the 18,000 reinforcements who had been in the dark finally began to light the torches and began to light the firewood and grass......

Soon, the wooden fence to the southwest of the Bossa coalition camp was set on fire with firewood and grass. Suddenly, the southwest direction was in flames. The people, who were still paying attention to the northeast, were horrified to find that the enemy army was also coming from the southwest......

Fences made of wood are very afraid of fire. After a while, the wooden fence at the southwest end of the camp did not burn apart. Woolf. Esbrand and Saqara ordered the soldiers to use their spears to tear away the remnants of the burnt wooden fences. Then, the road is clear. A large number of reinforcements, from behind the burned wooden fence, entered the camp and stood in front of the stunned 30,000 Bossa coalition soldiers......

Then, there was a brief embarrassment in the scene. The 30,000 people of the Bossa coalition army were a little stunned, and Woolf. Esbrand, Saqqara and their reinforcements were also a little stunned - why didn't these people run away when they saw us? We're enemies......

Or Woolf. Esbrand reacted the fastest, and he asked the musketeers who had lit the arquebuses to come forward and shoot the people at the top with a "crackle" shot...... Suddenly, the screams came and went......

Finally, the stunned Saxony and Brandenburg people reacted - damn, this is a murderous enemy army......

Then, at last, these unarmed people screamed and began to scurry around, their eyes full of horror......

However, Woolf. Esbrand, however, was a little dumbfounded—what about the camp of the enemy soldiers who were going north to attack him? Why are you scurrying around like headless flies?

Anyway, except for Woolf. To the west of the large army led by Esbrand and Saqqara, and in the other three directions, there were scattered Bossa coalition troops everywhere. Esbrand had a headache......

At this point, Saqqara reacted, and he proposed:

"Why don't we instruct them and let them flee north?"

"How do you point?"

"Shouting......"

"Okay......"

Then, a strange scene appeared on the battlefield - a group of warriors of the main force of the Duchy of Schleswig, armed with spears, drove away the people of the Bossa coalition army with spears, and shouted loudly:

"Flee north! Yes, to the north! I'll stab you to death if I run wrong......"

Of course, they're not just talking, they're really stabbing people. Some of the people who were scurrying like headless flies were stabbed to the ground on the spot because they did not flee north according to the instructions, and let out a terrible howl, and blood was also scattered all over the ground......

Driven violently by these German spearmen, the 30,000 Bossa troops and civilians finally converged into a torrent and rushed north......
