However, it turns out that the people of Gedes are still too beautiful...
Marshal Boniz sent people to the surrounding villages to capture the young and strong farmers. The next day, under the pressure of the Geds soldiers, the local farmers who were caught in the local area, holding simple tools such as wooden sticks and hoes, and then they started climbing the city wall. At the beginning, the musketeers on the city did waste some ammunition. But soon, the defender commander Kevin thought of a countermeasure...
"Gary (the name of the infantry commander of the Principality of Cliver), look at you! These people climbing the city walls are just farmers who have been caught in the local area. Our ammunition is precious and we don't need to be wasted on them. So, your infantry go up and stab those farmers with their spears..."
"Don't worry, look at us!" After saying that, the infantry commander of the Principality of Cliver brought 3,000 Cliver infantry to the battlement...
Although the combat effectiveness of the infantry in the Principal of Clifford was average, the local farmers who climbed the city wall at the front were even worse. Therefore, the three thousand infantry in the Principal of Clifford easily withstand the attacks of those farmers. Even if some farmers were lucky enough to climb up the city, they were quickly stabbed to the ground by the infantry in the Principal of Clifford on the city...
Seeing this scene, Marshal Bonitz and Taoske, who were supervising the battle under the city, suddenly broke out in a cold sweat - Damn, should you react so quickly?
So, the poisonous plan was quickly resolved as soon as it was used. The offensive of the Gedes army was naturally suppressed...
Marshal Bonitz sighed and said:
"Forget it, wait until the sky clears and you'll use artillery troops to continue bombarding the city wall. In addition, you'll also get some catapults to destroy the city wall together!" Anyway, the Habsburg family's army was dragged down by the French. At worst, you can use ordinary long-term siege methods...
...
The next day, when the Gedes army drove the captured farmers of the Principal of Brabant climbed the city wall, Schwartz also led the army to continue on the road. Although the rain caused muddy roads, Schwartz knew that in such weather, the musketeers of the Gedes army would be silent. The opportunity was rare, so he ordered the army and the civilians to forcibly rush to the front line early and then launch an attack on the enemy...
...
Finally, on the afternoon of the fourth day, Schwartz's army arrived in the north of a wood not far from the Guedes army camp before dark. After all, after two days of rushing in the mud on rainy days, people were exhausted. If an attack was launched at this time, it would be easy to lose the battle. Therefore, Schwartz asked the army to rest for one night and launch another attack tomorrow morning...
...
However, what made Schwartz vomit blood was that when the army gathered the next morning and drove to the rear of the Guedes army formation, the rain stopped...
Boniz originally planned to attack the walls of Parson concentration camp again, but unexpectedly, a large enemy army came from a distance. Judging from the banner, it turned out to be from the Principality of Clifford...
"Old Mason really gathered the army?" Boniz looked at the opposite side, and thought that his opponent had 20,000 or 30,000 yuan, and was stunned...
After reacting, Old Mason hurriedly ordered a change of formation. It happened that because it was raining before, the 2,000 Guedes's melee gunmen stayed at the end of the battle formation, and held the animal skin and wrapped the rain-proof melee guns on standby. When the Gedees' army turned back, the 2,000 Musketeers were just in front. Moreover, because the rain stopped, they simply took the melee guns out of the animal skin bag, loaded the ammunition, and aimed at Schwartz's army...
Schwartz was a little stunned - Damn, it was raining lightly just now, why did we suddenly stop when we ran to the enemy's neighbor? Isn't this cheating me?
Schwartz wanted to take the army and leave, but he knew that this was impossible. Because this was very harmful to morale. If morale collapsed and the enemy attacked again, the army might be defeated. Therefore, even though he knew it was difficult, he had to fight with the enemy. Besides, in terms of strength, the strength of our army was stronger...
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, waiting for the artillery behind to step forward to complete the deployment...
Schwartz's army brought a three-pound gun with an effective range of three or four hundred meters. At a distance of 250 meters, the artillery of the North Sea Army can leisurely shell the enemy, and the enemy...
Of course, because it had been raining before, the artillery troops were always staying behind. After all, the artillery of the Beihai Kingdom was triggered by fuses, not by clockwork. Therefore, on rainy days, the artillery triggered by fuses could not be used, and Schwartz simply let the artillery troops stay at the end. But now the rain suddenly stopped, Schwartz sent people to the back and ordered the artillery troops to come forward to deploy and shell the enemy.
...
"Hurry! Carry the cannons behind and face the enemy!" Marshal Bonitz said loudly. Just as Schwartz thought, Bonitz also planned to use artillery to bombard the opponent first.
The artillery used by the Guedes army were bronze cannons provided by France, including 2-pound cannons and 3-pound cannons, with a total of 15, all of which were rear-mounted Franchise cannon models. But unlike the Franchise cannons in Marin's North Sea, the artillery of the North Sea has no artillery stand, and the artillery carried the barrel to deploy in front of the formation. Before deployment, you also need to dig a hole first and bury the barrel first...
But there is a big difference between having a gun mount and not having a gun mount. With a gun mount with wheels, the Beihai Kingdom's artillery troops maneuver faster. Although they mobilized artillery at about the same time, the Beihai Kingdom's artillery first completed the deployment and aimed at the opposite side. After all, the Beihai Kingdom's artillery was wheeled and deployed very conveniently - as long as it was facing the enemy...
Therefore, when the artillery of Gedes was still digging a pit in front of the formation to prepare to bury the artillery barrel, the artillery of Beihai Kingdom took the lead in attacking—
"Boom-Boom-Boom-Boom-Boom-" The first round was a calibrated shooting, with low accuracy, but many Gedes soldiers were still attacked. After all, Gedes army had 14,000 people. As long as the direction was right, the Beihai Kingdom's artillery could still hit a few...

After a while of blasting, Marshal Boniz saw the gap - it seemed that the power of the opposite cannon was a little more powerful. Moreover, there were 30 cannons on the opposite side, while he only had 15 cannons... He was at a disadvantage no matter how he was bombarded with each other...
So, after observing for a while, Marshal Bonitz finally made up his mind:
"The whole army gathers, abandons artillery, and advances quickly! Stand 50 steps ahead of the enemy formation, and then the musketeers attack the opponent's artillery and musketeers! Priority shoots the enemy's artillery!"
Then, the artillery soldiers of the Gedes army abandoned the artillery positions and made way for the army...
Under the command of the commander's rhythmic command, the soldiers of the Gedes Army held spears and muskets and advanced quickly in a relatively neat formation, regardless of the artillery fire on the opposite side...
"ah--"
"ah--"
...
Along the way, there were screams from the soldiers, but Marshal Boniz turned a deaf ear and ordered the army to continue to advance under artillery fire. At the same time, the military police team formed by the simulated French army (the military police originated in France and appeared during the Hundred Years of War in Britain and France) drew out their swords and began to kill all soldiers who wanted to escape from the team... Although more than 300 casualties were killed and killed halfway, the well-trained Guedes army still arrived within 50 steps opposite the Schwarz army as planned...
The distance of one step in Europe is 0.75 meters, and the distance of 50 steps is 37.5 meters, which is exactly within the targeted shooting range of the mezzanine. After arriving at the specified distance, the musketman commander of the Gedes musketeer Kasmir pulled out the command knife and shouted:
"First row, raise your gun and aim at the opposite artillery! Prepare-"
"put--"
