However, it turned out that what the people of Guedes thought was too beautiful......

Marshal Bonitz sent men to the surrounding villages to arrest the young peasants that day, and the next day, under the persecution of the Gedse soldiers, the local captured peasants, armed with rudimentary tools such as sticks and hoes, began to climb the city walls, and at first, the musketeers at the head of the city did waste some ammunition. But soon, the commander of the defenders, Kevin, thought of a countermeasure......

"Gary (the name of the Principality of Cleaver's infantry commander), it's up to you! These men who climbed the walls were only local captured farmers, and our ammunition was too precious to waste on them. So, your infantry go up and stab those peasants with their spears......"

"Don't worry, look at us!" With that, the Principality Cleaver infantry commander led 3,000 Cleaver infantry to the battlements......

The infantry of the Duchy of Cleaver was mediocre, but the local peasants who climbed the walls at the front were even worse. Therefore, the infantry of the Principality of Three Kilograms of River easily withstood the attack of those farmers. Even if a farmer was lucky enough to climb the city, he was quickly stabbed to the ground by the Principality of Cleaver infantry at the top of the city......

Seeing this scene, Marshal Bonitz and Tauske, who were supervising the battle under the city, suddenly broke out in a cold sweat - Nima, do you want to react so quickly?

As a result, this poisonous trick was quickly dissolved as soon as it was used. And the offensive of Gedes's army was naturally suppressed......

Marshal Bonitz sighed and said:

"Forget it, let's wait for the weather to clear and use artillery troops to continue to bombard the city wall. Also, get some trebuchets and destroy the walls together! "Anyway, the army of the Habsburgs was held back by the French, it's a big deal, use the usual means of a long-term siege......

……

The next day, while the army of Guedes drove the captured peasants of the Duchy of Brabant to climb the walls, Schwartz also led the army on the road. Although the rain muddy the roads, Schwartz knew that in such weather, the musketeers of the Guedes army would be dumbfounded. The opportunity was rare, so he ordered the army and the people to force their way to the front line as soon as possible, and then attack the enemy......

……

Finally, on the afternoon of the fourth day, Schwartz's army arrived before dark in the north of a wooded field not far from the Geddes army camp and began to set up camp. After all, two days of driving in the mud on a rainy day really exhausted people to death. If you attack at this time, you will be overwhelmed and will be easily defeated. So, Schwartz told the army to rest for the night and attack again tomorrow morning......

……

However, what made Schwartz vomit blood was that when the army had gathered the next morning and drove to the rear of the Gedse army, the rain actually stopped......

Bonitz had planned to attack the walls of Parson again, but unexpectedly, a large enemy army came from afar. Look at the flag, it turned out to be the ...... of the Principality of Cleaver

"Did Old Mason really gather an army here?" Bonitz looked at the opposite side, estimated that his opponent had twenty or thirty thousand, and was stunned......

After reacting, Old Mason hurriedly ordered a change of formation. It just so happened that because it had rained before, the 2,000 Gedes arquebusiers stayed at the back of the battle formation, holding arquebuses wrapped in animal skins to protect them from the rain. When the Geddes army turned backwards, the 2,000 musketeers were in the front row. And, because the rain had stopped, they simply took the arquebuses out of their leather bags, loaded them with ammunition, and aimed them at Schwarz's army......

Schwartz was a little dumbfounded - Nima, it was raining lightly just now, why did the rain suddenly stop when we ran near the enemy army? Doesn't that fool me?

Schwartz would have liked to turn around and leave with his army, but he knew it was impossible. Because, it's very demoralizing. If the morale collapses and the enemy forces attack again, the army may be defeated. Therefore, knowing that it is difficult, he must also fight with the enemy. Besides, in terms of strength, is it still the strength of our own army......

Thinking of this, Schwartz was not in a hurry to attack, but ordered the army to stop 250 meters in front of the enemy formation. Then, wait for the artillery behind to come forward and complete the deployment......

Schwartz's army carried front-loading three-pounder guns with an effective range of three or four hundred meters. At this distance of 250 meters, the artillery of the army of the North Sea State could leisurely shell the enemy, and the enemy ......

Of course, because it had been raining before, the artillery unit had been staying behind. After all, the artillery of the North Sea State is still fused-triggered, not clockwork-fired. So, on a rainy day, the fuse-triggered artillery was unusable, and Schwarz simply left the artillery at the rear. But now that the rain had suddenly stopped, Schwartz sent someone to the rear and ordered the artillery units to come forward and shell the enemy.

……

"Hurry, hurry! Raise the cannon to the rear and face the enemy! Field Marshal Bonitz commanded loudly. Like Schwartz, Bonitz also planned to use artillery to bombard his opponent first.

The artillery guns used by the Guedes army were all bronze guns supplied by France, with two types of 2-pounder guns and 3-pounder guns, a total of 15 guns, all of which were rear-mounted Franc cannon models. However, unlike the Franc machine guns of the Beihai Kingdom in Marin, the artillery of the Beihai Kingdom did not have gun mounts, and the artillery was deployed in front of the battle with gun barrels. Before deployment, it is necessary to dig a pit and bury the barrel first......

But there is a big difference between having a gun mount and not having a gun mount, and with a gun mount with wheels, the artillery units of the North Sea State can maneuver faster. Although the artillery was mobilized at about the same time, the artillery of the Beihai State was the first to complete the deployment and aimed at the opposite side. After all, the artillery of the North Sea State is wheeled, and it is super easy to deploy - as long as it is directly facing the enemy......

Therefore, when the artillery of the Gedesi Division was still digging a pit in front of the battle and preparing to bury the barrels, the artillery of the Beihai State took the lead in attacking-

"Boom-boom-boom-" The first round was a school shooting, and the accuracy rate was not high, but there were still many Gedesi soldiers who were recruited. After all, there are 14,000 people in the army of Gedesi, and as long as the direction is right, how can the artillery of the Beihai Kingdom be able to catch a few ......

After that, the artillery battle officially began......

After a while, Marshal Bonitz saw the gap - it seemed that the artillery on the opposite side was a little more powerful. Moreover, there were 30 guns on the opposite side, and he had only 15 guns...... No matter how you count it, he will suffer from shelling each other......

So, after observing for a while, Marshal Bonitz finally made up his mind:

"Assemble the whole army, abandon the artillery, and move quickly! Stand 50 paces in front of the enemy's formation, then the musketeers strike at the opposing artillerymen and musketeers! Prioritize shooting enemy artillery! ”

Then the artillery of the army of Gedesi abandoned the artillery positions and made way for the army......

Under the rhythmic command of the commander, the soldiers of the Gedse army, holding spears and muskets, marched quickly in a relatively neat formation, regardless of the artillery fire from the opposite side......

"Ahh

"Ahh

……

Along the way, the screams of the soldiers were heard incessantly, but Marshal Bonitz turned a deaf ear and ordered the army to continue to advance under artillery fire. At the same time, the gendarmerie formed by the simulated French army (the gendarmerie originated in France and appeared during the Hundred Years' War between England and France) drew their sabers and began to cut down any soldiers who tried to escape from the ranks...... Although more than 300 people were killed and wounded on the way, the well-trained army of Gedes came within 50 paces opposite Schwarz's army as planned......

The distance of one step in Europe is 0.75 meters, and 50 steps is 37.5 meters, which is exactly within the range of the arquebus. After reaching the allotted distance, Kasmir, the commander of the Geds musketeers, drew his command knife and shouted:

"First row, raise your guns and aim at the opposite artillery! Ready—"

"Put-"

"Bang-bang-bang-bang......" A burst of gunfire came, and many of the artillery of the Beihai Kingdom in front of the battle fell to the ground and let out a terrible howl......
