With Marin's return, the news from the British side gradually spread to the mainland. Many monarchs on the road of Europe have learned the news that shocked them - King Henry VII, who was once invincible and the only one in England, was defeated and killed by Edward of the House of York, who escaped.

Of course, as for Henry VII and Edward, the monarchs and princes of the European continent did not care very much. At most, Edward killed thousands of nobles and nobles' families at once, which seemed too brutal. However, Edward's reasons were also good - these people were all involved in the battle of Bosworth, which killed the king. In order to give the greatest punishment to all the king-killers, they killed all their families......

For Edward's statement, the European aristocracy felt that Edward was cruel, but at the same time, they agreed with Edward's statement. After all, they are also monarchs, and they are most afraid that their subordinates will kill them. So, on the one hand, they accused Edward of being brutal, but on the other hand, they took out the example of Edward killing the entire family of the monarch killer, and the Ministry of Education - look, this is the fate of the monarch killer!

However, for the nobles of the European continent, it was the army in this war that paid the most attention to them. Because, the protagonist of this battle for the throne is not Edward, but Marin......

Previously, Marin led an army of 40,000 to defeat a 50,000 Bossa coalition army with 20,000 Swiss mercenaries, which already amazed the whole of Europe. Now, it is said that this cargo brought an army of 20,000 and ran to England and directly packed up Henry VII. The results are truly amazing......

You know, Henry VII is not a good man, he has ruled England for 30 years, his rule is quite solid, and he belongs to one of the most powerful monarchs in Europe. Moreover, the English longbowmen are famous all over the world. At that time, it took hundreds of years for the French to slowly turn the tide of the war and achieve victory.

You know, the French had many, many plate knights, and hundreds of cannons on the battlefield, and it was only with great difficulty that they defeated the English longbowmen. Marin was good, only 20,000 men crossed the sea, and after cleaning up Henry VII's English army, the losses were very light. Although Edward had the help of the French army in the early stage, many people knew about the recall of 7,000 French troops after the French were defeated by Henry VII in the English Channel. Therefore, the defeat of Henry VII was considered to have been completed independently by Marin's army.

As a result, Marin's fame was once again on the "hot search list" in the European aristocratic circle, and became an important topic of conversation among the nobles after dinner.

Now, a lot of monarchs and princes in Europe are discussing one thing - what made Marin's army so powerful?

Everyone's opinions were different, and even many nobles would quarrel on the spot. However, the European aristocracy of this era had not yet embraced science, and their thinking was still relatively old-fashioned. After all, the influence of the Holy See is still so great now......

In addition, the nobles all have a kind of arrogance, which causes those big nobles to be reluctant to admit that Marin, who was born in a small knight family, is capable of being above them.

So, after a heated debate, everyone finally reached a point that everyone agreed on - Marin's army was well equipped...... As for Marin's commanding talent, it was deliberately ignored by these great nobles......

Where is Marin's army well equipped? Everyone still knows this. In the previous battle with the Bossa coalition army, everyone knew that the first three rows of soldiers of the Marin army were all wearing cuirass armor and had a high defensive ability......

You know, the first three rows of infantry can wear breastplate armor, and it seems that only Swiss mercenaries with three times the salary of other mercenaries can do it......

In the traditional army, only noble knights were eligible to wear it, and they also had the financial resources to afford to buy plate armor. And those infantrymen, in the eyes of the great nobles, are basically cannon fodder roles, and there is no need to equip them with plate armor, even a cuirass.

Marin did the opposite, massively equipping infantry with cuirass and helmets. This point made the big nobles a little puzzled. Of course, there were not many knights under Marin, so he could only rely on infantry. Therefore, it is reasonable for Marin to pay attention to the improvement of the infantry.

Therefore, the high rate of plate armor equipment is an important conclusion reached by those great nobles, and they believe that this is an important reason for Marin's repeated victories......

……

This is only one thing, in addition, the monarchs and nobles of various European countries believe that the strength of the Marin army is inseparable from the large number of muskets......

Because, the many battles over the years, especially the several wars fought by Marin, as well as the war for hegemony between Spain and France and Italy, fully proved one point - the musket was very restrained by the knights......

Before Marin massively used the Mushket musket from Spain and "created" the world-famous "Marin Phalanx", the Plate Knights were a decisive strategic force on the European battlefield. Although the Swiss also defeated the Burgundian knights, it was because the Burgundian knights were not familiar with the Swiss battle formations, so they were defeated. Until then, the monarchs and nobles of Europe had always believed that the Plate Knights were an extremely important armed force.

However, the appearance of Marin, and the fact that he first equipped the army with Mushkert muskets on a large scale, shattered the myth of the knight's invincibility. Marin's "Marin Phalanx" can not only resist the charge of the knights, but also kill a large number of plate knights, which is simply a nightmare for the plate knights.

If Marin's previous battles have not proved this (after all, Marin likes to sneak attack, especially at night), then the Spaniards used Mushkert muskets and the "Marin phalanx" to defeat tens of thousands of French knights head-on, which fully proves one point - the large-scale use of muskets has seriously challenged the strategic position of the knights......

Even, the monarchs and nobles of various countries knew one thing, and that was - after the crushing defeat of France in Italy, they began to think about equipping their troops with muskets. After the Battle of Lübeck, because of the defeat of the Swiss mercenaries, King Louis XII of France made up his mind and finally formed the first musket troops in France......

As a result, most of the monarchs and princes of Europe believed that the musket was indeed a weapon of great destruction, probably ...... It is also the biggest secret that Marin, a boy from a humble background, can win many battles......

In particular, when the news came from England that Marin's army of 20,000 had wiped out the English army with thousands of longbowmen without much effort, and there were not many casualties, the monarchs and princes of the European continent became even more interested in muskets......

As kings and princes who are born much more noble than Marin, they will never admit that their ability is lower than Marin. After all, his own bloodline is so noble, and Marin's bloodline is low......

Admitting that he is not capable is something that these European monarchs and nobles are absolutely unwilling. However, they could not fail to recognize Marin's success on the battlefield...... Thus, it eventually led to the emergence of a phenomenon - muskets were fired in Europe......

"Hmph, Lian Marin. Hoffmann's humble boy can rely on large-scale armed muskets and win many battles, I don't believe it, my army is also armed with muskets, and it will lose to others...... "This is the idea of many monarchs and great nobles in Europe......

Thus, for a time, the craftsmen who could make muskets in Europe suddenly changed from inconspicuous characters to hot figures......

Many European monarchs and princes, who had their own armies, began to recruit craftsmen who could make muskets and treat them as honored guests. Although they cannot be treated as nobles, they can be treated with the highest treatment and courtesy for commoners.

As a result, musketeers suddenly became the most popular profession in Europe, and were popular among monarchs and princes of various countries. And the consequence of this is that the armies of European countries have introduced musketeers, and they have introduced them in formations. At the very least, when fighting, three rows of musketeers can still make up the pie, exactly three shots......

When Marin heard the news, he had a headache - Nima, the battle in the future will be cruel......

Obviously, in the face of a platoon of guns, it is unrealistic to think that there are no casualties or low casualties. Dozens of grams of lead bullet came over, and they were either killed or wounded. Moreover, gunshot wounds are very difficult to heal. You must know that even in the 19th century, when the old American Civil War was in the past, soldiers who were shot in the limbs often faced the tragic fate of being amputated by doctors. In his previous life, Marin had often seen movies like this in which a soldier was injured by a lead bullet, and then the doctor pushed him onto the operating table...... Not surgery, but leg sawing...... It's bloody, it's brutal, it's always bloody......

And gunshot wounds from lead bullets, even the alcohol and gauze popularized by Marin, cannot be completely resolved. Alcohol and gauze can only make the soldiers who have been injured by cold weapons recover as much as possible. It can face gunshot wounds caused by tens of grams of lead bullets...... It seems that only a miracle drug like penicillin can deal with it...... Because, buckshot weighing dozens of grams can not only bring great trauma to the human body, but also be toxic. In addition, there are a lot of bacteria on a lead projectile of tens of grams. After the lead bullet is in, it rolls in the human body a few times, and it is difficult to wash the wound with alcohol, unless the whole part of the flesh is cut. However, the damage of lead bullets is generally greater, and if all the flesh is cut, people will not survive. Therefore, people who are injured by lead bullet will inevitably be infected, and it is extremely difficult to be infected with lead poisoning. Just like the army that fought Marin before, most of the people who were wounded by the musketeers under Marin's command did not survive. It wasn't that they were killed on the spot, but that most of the people who were shot died later from wound inflammation and lead poisoning, and many of them saw their legs and did not survive......

"It seems that it is time to develop the miracle penicillin. Otherwise, in the future, the soldiers will have to saw their legs when they are shot......" Marin sighed, he knew that the era of lining up to be shot in Europe was coming......
