In terms of equipment, Marin's front spearmen are better than Swiss spearmen. Because the helmet worn by Marin's spearmen is wearing a mask and has higher protection.
Moreover, Marin also put on the hem of the "mahjong mat" for his elite spearmen in the front row. The wood chips of these "mahjong mats" were nailed with iron pieces, which had good protection. At least, when the enemy stabbed his lower body, he wrapped the "mahjong mat" skirt with iron pieces, which had good protection.
Therefore, although the combat experience is not as rich as that of the Swiss veterans, relying on their equipment advantages, the two sides also tied.
However, Marin knew very well that the melee ability of his soldiers and spearmen was not as good as that of the Swiss spearmen who had many years of experience in stabbing each other.
The reason why Marin's elite spearmen was able to tie the Swiss was because the Swiss were not yet very suitable for the East Friesian spearmen with masks and skirt protection. As time goes by, once the Swiss veterans adapt, the one who failed must be the East Friesian spearmen. After all, the East Friesian army did not rely on the spearmen to win.
So, after seeing the Knights of Brandenburg, Marin decisively transferred the Blackshirt Knight to the middle to snipe the Swiss spearmen in the front row.
Regardless of whether the Swiss spearmen are wearing half-body armor, they must kneel in front of the musket.
In fact, Marin originally planned to mobilize the three thousand musketeers in. However, those musketeers were all mesketeers. The biggest problem was that mesketeers must maintain a distance of 1 meter from each other. Otherwise, Mars flying from the fuse on the arm may ignite the gunpowder of the comrades next to them, which is very unsafe.
Now in the Bossa Allied Forces camp, there is a crowd of people. Everyone leans together, and there is obviously no place for the mezzanine gunners to stand. Fortunately, those black-shirt knights who use clockwork to fire muskets are not ignited with fuses. Therefore, those black-shirt knights can be closely connected with each other. They can even use the gaps to fire whenever they want.
So, Marin simply let the black-shirted knights squeeze in and kill the opponent's soldiers in plate armor. As for the three thousand meddles who had nothing to do, Marin simply gave an order - let them follow the engineers to fill pits and smash walls, so as not to waste manpower...
At this time, as time passed, it was already past 6 o'clock in the morning and the sky began to brighten. The situation on the battlefield began to become clearer.
Marin discovered that the elite of his own army and the elite of the enemy were squeezed near the wall. As the work of filling holes and smashing the wall continued, more of his own people entered the wall.
Moreover, the Saxon army in the south was in a bad mood, and the formation was completely disrupted by nearly 30,000 Bossa coalition militias. At this time, the Saxon officers were gathering their troops and driving them away, and they had no time to join the war.
The Swiss mercenaries on the middle and north roads seemed to be used to melee. The Swiss veterans in the front row were holding back the impact of the East Friesian spearmen without taking a step back.
However, the Brandenburg army on the North Road, because the "Wolf Tooth Commando" led by Kahn, had dispersed the formation of the dismounted knights at this time. With the help of the Blackshirt Knight, the three thousand plate-armored knights in Brandenburg were already finished.
The rest are the infantry in Brandenburg behind. Not to mention how strong the infantry in Brandenburg is, their equipment is obviously very bad.
Because Brandenburg, like Saxony, is a traditional knight-led army. If you have financial resources, you will definitely give priority to equip knights rather than infantry.
Therefore, even the elite Brandenburg infantry that was in front did not wear half-body armor. Only some officers purchased loose pieces such as chest armor to protect their lives.
Faced with such Brandenburg infantry, Marin was very confident in his elite spearmen. It was only a matter of time before he defeated the Brandenburg infantry on the North Road.
In addition, through the telescope, Marin discovered the location of Frederick III and Jockim I—they were both in the command car behind the Swiss spearmen’s phalanx, and there were few guards around him…
However, it is impossible for the 20,000 main force led by Marin to reach the enemy formation and capture these two people. Because there were tens of thousands of people blocking them...
However, after looking southwest with a telescope, Marin discovered that Woolf Esbrand and Sakara soldiers were driving and frightening the people of Brandenburg and Saxony to maintain an impact on the Saxony army.
However, on their left side, there was a blank space, and you could go around the enemy formation...
So, what Marin had to do now was to command Woolf and Sakara's reinforcements, to separate troops and attack the command chariot behind the enemy's formation, and it would be best to capture Frederick III and Jockim I.
Of course, there was no walkie-talkie at this moment, and the messenger could not pass through the crowd. So Marin looked at the telecommunications officer beside him and asked him to send a signal and command according to the password book...
"Dududa-Duda-Duda-Dudu..."
A series of trumpets rang out on the battlefield, clear and loud. Moreover, Malin asked the trumpet officer to blow several times, facing the southwest direction...
Woolf Esbrand and Saccarat were happily driving the nearly 30,000 Brittenburg and Saxony villagers with people. Suddenly, they heard the sound of a bugle...
Both of them were stunned. After all, it was the first time they had heard the command of the military horn. Moreover, although they had received training before, they had forgotten the meaning of the horn.
Fortunately, there was a phalanx leader under Sakara who seemed to be very interested in the meaning of the phalanx representatives and memorized the entire codebook. When Sakara recruited the phalanx leader, the other party told him and Woolf Esbrand - this phalanx representative said that the enemy leader was in the middle at the end, and we should send troops around the enemy to capture it alive...
Woolf Esbrand and Sakara immediately let their guards lie down as stools, while the two of them stood up and started to observe the situation with their telescopes...
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Sure enough, we can send people to the enemy's backbone on the left... It seems that the chariot inlaid with gold is where the enemy's leader is?" Woolf Esbrand said in surprise.
"It seems yes, then, who of us went to capture those two electorates alive?" Sakara asked.
In fact, Sakara also wanted to lead his troops to capture the two electoral princes alive. Capturing the enemy leader was a great contribution. However, he was just a rising officer, and was just an acting commander of the army. His status in reinforcements was much lower than that of Woolf Esbrand, so he had to wait for Woolf Esbrand to instruct.
Sure enough, Woolf Esbrand took on this task himself, but he also gave an explanation:
"I'd better take people there. My people have all three rows of spearmen wearing plate armor and musketeers accompanying me. You also see the second floor, they are hiding at the Swiss spears. Your people are all recruits, and I'm afraid they may not be able to beat the Swiss..."
Sakara nodded and agreed with Woolf Esbrand's statement. His people are indeed recruits. So far, they have only participated in the battle of sneak attacks on the Danes. However, the Danes are also recruits...
Facing the Swiss spearmen, even the non-elites in the last line, Saccarat's English mercenaries may not be able to beat. What's more, the English spearmen under his command were only wearing "mahjong mats" armor, not many wearing plate armor. In addition, his combat experience is indeed not as rich as the Second Legion soldiers under Woolf Esbrand. So he gave up the idea of ​​fighting for the mission. Besides, he can't compete...
In this way, Woolf Esbrand separated the elite veterans of the 8,000 Second Legion under his command. The task of driving away the civilians was handed over to the English Legion of Saccarat.
Taking advantage of the chaos on the battlefield, Woolf Esbrand, with his elite soldiers, abandoned all the baggage, and murderously passed by the civil warriors of the Bossa coalition in front, and went straight to the luxurious command carriages of Frederick III and Jockim I in the north...
