The Bossa coalition also had 50 guns, and most of them were three-pounder guns reloaded. Moreover, they all belonged to the Electorate of Saxony. After all, Saxony had a well-developed business, and it still had the financial resources to build 50 guns out of a large amount of copper. Moreover, the consumption of expensive gunpowder is also affordable.

Of course, there are limits. It was okay to dye the Electorate of Saxony to make 50 three-pounder guns. It would be a bit overwhelming to ask them to make six-pounder or even 12-pounder cannons that cost more copper. Unlike Marin, the cheap copper that was bought from India before was all used to cast cannons. Moreover, it is now supported by a large number of copper ingots from the Faylon copper mine in Sweden.

As for the Electorate of Brandenburg, it was a poor country. Don't look at being one of the seven electors, and the territory is the largest. But in reality, Brandenburg was now the poorest of the seven electors.

Because, the Elector of Brandenburg is an agricultural country at all, and it is strange that it can be rich. As for the later rise of Prussia, it was Prince Albrecht of the Hohenzollern family, after becoming the Grand Master of the Teutonic Knights in 1525, shamelessly united Poland and changed the Teutonic Knights State into a hereditary Duchy of Prussia. Then, because they belonged to the same family, they married each other, and in 1618, the Elector of Brandenburg annexed the Duchy of Prussia through marriage. Then Prussia grew stronger.

By adopting the Prussian name after the union, everyone can also know that Prussia is richer than Brandenburg......

Mainly, there were several Hanseatic commercial cities in East Prussia, such as Königsberg, and the economy was naturally stronger than that of Brandenburg, an agricultural country at that time. Therefore, when it came time to upgrade to a kingdom, the Hohenzollerns simply used Prussia as the name of the kingdom instead of the Kingdom of Brandenburg.

Before the annexation of the Teutonic state, the Elector of Brandenburg was arguably the poorest of the electorates. Therefore, although the Elector of Brandenburg was able to bully more than it, in the Reichstag, it still mainly followed others.

However, although Brandenburg was a poor country, it was relatively martial. So, the military power is not bad. Otherwise, Frederick III might not have been willing to take him to play.

It's just that Brandenburg doesn't think about such a luxury as artillery, let's see how the Saxons shoot artillery......

Looking with envy at the 50 three-pound Furlong rear-loading bronze cannons that the Saxons had brought down from the wagon, the sixty or so guns of Marin on the opposite side were the first to fire......

"Boom-boom-boom-boom-"

More than sixty iron ball shells flew in and hit the artillery that had installed the guns in front of the formation. In just an instant, the lives of dozens of artillerymen were taken. Among them, there were more than a dozen people, the most experienced artillerymen.

And that's not all, these shells did not satisfy the previous killing, and continued to fly. Huge impact that continues the lives of the Breeza Coalition fighters of the Reaper. Mainly, the lives of Swiss mercenaries.

Because, this time, the artillery of the Bossa coalition army was mainly arranged in the middle of the battle formation of the Bossa coalition army. Their aim was to kill and wound the East Frisian musketeers with shells. Because, Marin's musketeers are all arranged in the middle and front. And the army in the middle of the Bossa coalition army is mainly 20,000 Swiss mercenaries.

So, while Marin's artillery was shooting at the Saxon artillery, the Swiss mercenaries were also ......

The power of the iron ball shell is enormous, even a six-pound shell can penetrate half a company at a distance of 200 yards. For this, the Swiss mercenaries paid a huge price for this shelling.

The salvo of 65 guns not only took away dozens of Saxon artillerymen, but also brought great casualties to the Swiss mercenaries standing behind the Saxon artillery.

Because it was necessary to facilitate artillery firing, and the effective firing range of the rear-loading three-pounder gun was only more than 200 meters. So, this time the Bossa coalition was only 200 yards away from Marin's army. Out of the range of the musket, but within the range of the artillery.

But unexpectedly, before the Saxon artillery was deployed, the opposite side opened fire. Moreover, the accuracy of artillery fire was high......

The first round of firing alone took away more than 50 artillerymen and more than 400 Swiss mercenaries......

This is the first round of shelling, and the artillerymen are actually still firing at school. If it weren't for the fact that some of the artillery guns were not properly adjusted, the lethality might have been even more amazing.

Moreover, some of the shells flew directly over the heads of the Bossa coalition fighters because the barrels were raised, and they fell a thousand meters away.

It just so happened that a cannonball, carrying not far from the side of Frederick III and Joakim I, smashed the head of one of the guards......

Blood gushed from the neck of the Brandenburg guard and splashed the faces of the soldiers on the side. Some of the blood was splattered directly on the command vehicle......

Frightened, Choakim I advised:

"Why don't we step back a bit?"

If it was a fight with cold weapons on the battlefield, Joakim I might not have been so panicked. However, the deterrent power of artillery is too amazing.

Just before Joakim I's eyes, he saw an iron ball that smashed the head of one of his guards straight into the air. The loyal guard, after his head was smashed and flew away, was left with a bowl-sized blood hole in his neck, and blood was spurting out, and the scene was extremely terrifying.

And a little ahead, when the iron ball cannonball "hits a line", in the straight line of the cannonball, everyone cannot escape the doom. Some of their heads were smashed directly, and some were pierced through the chamber by an iron ball cannonball, revealing a large blood hole. There are also those who are smashed into the calves or thighs...... In short, where the iron ball shells flew, no one's body was intact......

This is the power of artillery, and it may not be as lethal as a musket. However, the shock it brings is extremely amazing. After seeing the terrifying scene of the comrades-in-arms around them all lacking arms and legs, and even having their heads wasted, many brave soldiers will also be frightened.

Therefore, the existence of artillery is used to create terror. Human flesh and blood are powerless in the face of the devastation of cannonballs. In the battle formations that are shelled, the morale can easily be hit.

Just like now, not only the Saxon artillery is frightened, but even those brave Swiss mercenaries are not as frightened by the tragic situation of their comrades who are missing arms and legs......

Of course, Frederick III and Joakim I were also frightened by the Brandenburg guard who had his head smashed......

In desperation, Frederick III had no choice but to order a temporary withdrawal of troops. Because, he found out, he underestimated the combat effectiveness of Marin's army. In particular, he ignored the power of the artillery in the Marin army......

"Let's go, let's withdraw our troops first!" Frederick III said helplessly.

"That'...... How can this battle be fought? Joakim I asked with a sad look on his face.

"It's okay, we'll wait for the rain. When the time comes, their muskets and artillery will all be muted! ”

"yes, that's a good idea!" Joakim I's eyes lit up. Without muskets and artillery, the Bossa coalition could safely charge. Even if you don't attack, you can send someone to fill the pit with dirt sacks on your back. Without the threat of the musketeers, it's not too easy to fill the pits......

……

In the days that followed, instead of attacking, the Bossa coalition forces confronted Marin's army. However, the Bossa coalition forces were confronted by Marin's army from a distance of a thousand meters. After all, they are also afraid of being beaten by artillery.

Marin's army, on the other hand, could not leave the cover of Erdaogou to attack. Because, leaving the cover of the trenches, it was difficult for them to withstand the onslaught of the enemy cavalry.

Besides, Marin is still waiting for reinforcements to come......

In this way, the Bossa coalition army waited for the rain, while Marin waited for reinforcements, and the two sides tacitly chose to confront each other and stopped their operations for the time being......
