Then the black-shirted knights and Cossack cavalry went around again and continued to attack the enemy's flank, and this time, after the allied cavalry pursued it once, the knights' horses could no longer stand it. So, Baron Cross sent someone to report to several princes - the knights' war horses could not stand it......

After that, the Montenegrin knights were free to begin to abuse the infantry on the enemy's flanks. They rode leisurely to a distance of twenty or thirty yards from the enemy's flank infantry, raised their guns, and fired......

As a result, the coalition flank infantry suffered huge losses, and their morale became low. Marin excitedly watched it all through a telescope. He was waiting, waiting for the morale of the enemy army to slip to a low point. Then, he can launch a general offensive with a large army.

Although it is said that it can be won by launching a general offensive now, the resistance is certainly fierce. After all, the morale of the enemy army has not yet been discharged. In this way, if you launch a strong attack, the losses will be not small.

If you wait for the opponent's morale to reach a low point before launching a general attack, it will not only be easier to win. Moreover, the enemy with low morale is prone to collapse and flee. And the enemy army that broke down and fled had little ability to resist......

……

At this time, on the high platform behind the coalition army, the eight princes gritted their teeth one by one. They only now understand why Marin is called the most obscene military commander. Because, there is no glory at all in this product. The Beihai Kingdom obviously has so many cavalry, but it is not used to charge, but to attack and harass...... Is...... This is really an outlier for the traditional European aristocracy who values glory and frontality......

"This bastard, with no glory at all, has disgraced the face of the nobles!" Braunschweig - Henry, Duke of Lüneburg, gritted his teeth.

Charlie, Earl of Geldon, said quietly:

"He was originally from the bottom and had a low blood. So, it's normal not to understand glory......"

"yes, it's a slut! No wonder the princes didn't like him! The other Duke Henry also gritted his teeth.

However, no matter how much they cursed Marin, the situation on the battlefield became more and more unfavorable for them......

The spearmen who were abused by the black-shirted knights on the side had not complained yet, and the coalition infantry in the front row, especially the middle army in the front row, couldn't stand it first. Because, the shelling effect of solid shells is too terrifying. When the cannon hit, he either lacked arms and legs, or he was hit with a big hole in his body, and his head was even smashed by a cement ball cannonball......

In the face of this horrific blow, they strongly demanded to retreat. Otherwise, everyone will be crushed to death by shells......

Seeing that the soldiers in the front row of the Chinese army were very dissatisfied, the two Duke Henry had to order the entire army to retreat to avoid the range of enemy artillery and muskets.

……

As soon as the army moved, it naturally revealed a lot of flaws. The leader of the black-shirted knights, Durm, and the commander of the Cossack cavalry, Arthas, were both hot-eyed and wanted to rush over.

However, after thinking about it, they still gave up......

Why? Before, on the Elbe River, they encountered three or four thousand enemy troops, and they were all conscripts, so they could naturally be easily defeated. But this army in front of him is the main force of the enemy, and there are ten times more of them. Even if there are flaws, they can't break them. After all, they were not plate knights who were good at fighting tough battles, but just light cavalry with swords. If you rush over and face the spear formation, you will suffer a big loss.

Therefore, in the end, they can only take the opportunity to harass each other with carbines, so that the other party will not be safe to retreat......

……

On Marin's side, seeing the opponent retreating, after thinking about it, he said:

"Then we'll catch up! Pass the order, and the whole army will advance! However, be careful to advance slowly and stay in formation! ”

The artillery of the artillery in front of the formation of the army of the North Sea State was wheeled and easy to push. And the row of Yu Dayou's wheelbarrows in front of the formation is also easy to move - as long as the bipods behind the wheelbarrow are pulled out of the dirt, they can be pushed forward......

As a result, the alliance of the princes of the Eight Kingdoms was depressed to find that even if they retreated, the other party would catch up with them unrelentingly......

……

At this time, Charles, Earl of Geldon, looked high and pointed to the dirt ramp on the side:

"Let's push behind that dirt slope! When you get to the back of the breakthrough, you will not be afraid of enemy artillery fire and bullets! ”

So, the Allied soldiers moved to the side again and retreated behind a large dirt slope.

Marin led the army to press slowly, but when he arrived, he found that the opposing army was hiding behind the dirt slope, which was indeed effective against artillery shelling.

Marin thought about it, looked at the sky again, and realized that it was already past noon. So he commanded:

"It's just right, everyone takes this opportunity to eat, and then take a break on the spot!"

So, the army paused the pursuit and stopped to eat......

Of course, because it was before the battle, they couldn't have time to bury the pot and cook. So, they could only simply eat a slice of black bread. Then, take out some beers and drink a little per person as a drink.

In fact, usually Marin does not allow the soldiers to drink alcohol, only boiled water. But during the battle, there was simply no time to boil water. So, you can only bring some dark beer as a temporary hydrating drink. Anyway, you won't get drunk at all.

And the coalition forces saw that the other side was having lunch, and they also took the opportunity to sit down and eat. However, they are far less qualified. Because the eight princes were stingy, they were served lunch on a black baguette mixed with a lot of dirt and stones. This bread is hard, chewy, and difficult to digest. The soldiers soaked in cold water for a while before softening the baguette before swallowing.

After eating and drinking, Marin climbed the makeshift platform on the chariot again, and found that the dirt slope that the enemy was using as cover could be bypassed. So, he ordered the army to begin to go around, to the enemy's flank. In this way, the other party will have no dirt slope as a shield......

Subsequently, the guns of the Beihai Kingdom fired another fierce fire, causing a large number of casualties to the enemy. At the same time, the black-shirted knights who were fighting also caused huge casualties to the enemy.

"Damn, it's not a way to go on like this, let's fight!"

So, under the command of the two Duke Henry, the alliance of the princes of the Eight Kingdoms once again commanded the army to launch a charge and rushed to the Beihai State battle array.

However, their charge did not even break through the level of Yu Dayou's wheelbarrow......

Most of the soldiers of the First and Second Legions of the Beihai Kingdom are veterans with ten years of battlefield experience. In the face of the opponent's strong attack, they were undaunted, calmly and calmly stabbed each other through the wheelbarrow inserted into the dirt through the bipod.

Because the spearmen in the front row were wearing breastplate armor and iron helmets, they were not afraid to fight the enemy head-on. On the other hand, on the side of the coalition army, because of the lack of military spending, few soldiers in the front row wore chest armor.

In this way, in this kind of competition of mutual damage between stabbing each other through wheelbarrows, the poorly equipped coalition forces naturally do not have an advantage.

At this time, Marin suddenly released a big move - he released the 1,000 straw hat swordsmen in East Friesland......

These straw hat swordsmen were originally the most elite troops of the East Friesian Lamber, and they were all extraordinary. These men generally wore rudimentary armor, wore straw hats to protect them from the rain, and charged with two-handed swords.

In ancient times, those who could use two-handed swords to fight were all fierce generals with strong martial arts or infinite strength. Although there has been no war for ten years, the foundation of these people is very strong.

Moreover, this time, Marin gave them a change of shotguns and a new outfit all over their bodies - Marlin made them change into a full set of rhinoceros leather armor. In addition, they were given a new steel two-handed greatsword......

As a result, their protection was significantly improved without increasing the combat weight. Moreover, the weapons in the hands are sharper.

It should be pointed out that two-handed swordsmen exist to deal with spearmen. The spears, short swords and short swords used by spearmen are difficult to deal with. But two-handed swords can, and these two-handed swordsmen are each good at using two-handed swords to cut or even cut off their opponents' spears. Then, bully yourself and slash your enemies with your two-handed greatsword......

The rhinoceros leather armor that Marlin had replaced them with, though not bulletproof. However, it is no problem to use it against bows and arrows and spears.

Therefore, these 1,000 straw hat swordsmen, after changing into a full set of rhinoceros leather armor, confidently rushed into the enemy formation from the side, and began to slash and slash, stirring up the enemy's formation......

……

After a fierce battle, the enemy army was finally repulsed......

However, before Marin could catch his breath, suddenly there was an earth-shattering shout of killing from the rear of the enemy line......

Marin ascended and looked far away - it turned out that it was the main force of Steindorff's Third Army Corps......

Steindorff was no rookie like Arthas, and when he arrived with the infantry of the Third Army, he happened to encounter a scuffle between the two sides.

Seeing that the enemy's attention was desperately with the main force of the Beihai State, he neglected the rear. The enemy cavalry was also pinned down by the black-shirted knights and Cossack cavalry.

Therefore, Steindorff ignored the fact that the soldiers were still a little tired when they first arrived, and directly led the men and horses, and launched a charge while the enemy did not react......

In fact, Steindorff had only eight thousand infantry in his hands. However, Steindorff cunningly let his men run to scatter the spot, and Lao Yuan began to shout and charge. As soon as his men and horses dispersed, he created the illusion of a charge of 10,000 or 20,000 men.

Of course, if the enemy was only these opponents, Steindorff would never dare to rush like this. However, Steindorff knew that his master, Marin, had a good head and absolutely understood his intentions......

……

Sure enough, the coalition of the princes of the Eight Kingdoms, who had just retreated, saw that about 10,000 or 20,000 people had suddenly killed behind them, and they were suddenly a little frightened and a little at a loss.

Marin was a little puzzled at first, wondering why Steindorff dared to storm the enemy line with 8,000 men. But when he noticed that Steindorff's men were charging from a long distance, he immediately understood that Steindorff was bluffing and scaring his opponents......

However, Steindorff's timing was very good. The enemy has just been repulsed, and morale is low. At this time, there was a sudden shout of killing from the rear, which was indeed very scary.

Marin did not intend to be Steindorff's good intentions, so he ascended to the high platform, drew his command knife, and shouted:

"Warriors, reinforcements from the Third Legion are here, and they are flanking the enemy in front and behind us! Now, all of them, except for the artillerymen, everyone else picked up their swords, rushed forward, and killed all the enemies! ”

And Schwartz also shouted:

"All charge!"

"Rush!" Stader shouted along.

After hearing the order, the soldiers of the First and Second Legions of the Beihai Kingdom threw away their baggage (including muskets), picked up their melee weapons, and rushed towards the allied army of the princes of the Eight Kingdoms who were hesitating like tigers descending from the mountain......
