Chapter 1345 All Charge
Then the Black-shirted Knights and the Cossack Cavalry circled again and continued to attack the enemy's flanks. This time, after the coalition cavalry chased each other, the knights could no longer bear the horses. So, Baron Cross sent someone to report to the princes - the knights' horses could not bear the horses...
Then, the black-shirted knights began to abuse the infantry on the flanks of the enemy. They leisurely rode their horses to the twenty or thirty yards of the enemy's flanks, raised their guns and aimed, and shot...
The flanking infantry of the coalition forces suffered huge losses and their morale became lower. Marin watched all this with excitement with a telescope. He was waiting, waiting for the enemy's morale to fall to a low point. Then, he could lead the army to launch a general attack.
Although you can win the general attack now, the resistance you encounter must be very fierce. After all, the morale of the enemy has not yet been released. In this way, if you launch a strong attack, the loss will be considerable.
If the opponent's morale reaches a low point and then launches a general attack, it will not only be easier to win. Moreover, enemies with low morale will easily collapse and escape. The enemy that collapses and escapes has almost no resistance...
...
At this time, on the high platform behind the coalition, the eight princes gritted their teeth. They now understand why Marin was called the most vulgar military commander. Because this guy had no honor at all. The Beihai Kingdom clearly had so many cavalry, but they did not charge, but used it to harass... It's really... For the traditional European aristocrats who value glory and strong face, this is really an alien...
"This bastard has no glory at all, and has thrown away all the nobles' faces!" Henry, Duke of Lüneburg, said gritting his teeth.
Charlie Earl of Gelden said quietly:
"He was originally from the bottom of his family and had low bloodlines. So, it's normal not to understand glory..."
"Yes, it's just a bitch! No wonder the princes don't like him!" Another Duke Henry also gritted his teeth.
However, no matter how they cursed Marin, the battlefield situation was becoming increasingly unfavorable to them...
The spearmen who were abused by the black-shirted knights on the side had not complained yet, and the front row, especially the coalition infantry of the central army, could not stand it anymore. Because the shelling effect of solid shells was too terrifying. When they shot in one shot, they either lacked arms or had big holes on their bodies, and even had their heads hit by cement ball shells...
Faced with such a terrifying blow, they strongly demanded to retreat. Otherwise, everyone would be killed by shells in front of the formation...
Seeing that the soldiers in the front row of the central army were very resentful, the two Dukes of Henry had to order the army to retreat as a whole to avoid the range of enemy artillery and muskets.
...
When the army moved, many flaws were naturally revealed. The leader of the Black-shirt Knight Dulm and the commander of the Cossack Cavalry Legion Arthas were both very jealous and wanted to rush over.
However, after thinking about it, they still gave up...
Why? Before, they encountered three or four thousand enemy troops by the Elbe River, and they were all recruited, so they could naturally be easily defeated. But the army in front of them was the main force of the enemy, and the number was ten times larger. Even if there were flaws, they could not defeat them. After all, they were not plate-armored knights who were good at fighting tough battles, but just light cavalrymen who used sabers. If they rushed over to face the spear formation, they would suffer a great loss.
So, in the end, they had to take the opportunity to harass the other party with a carbine, making it uneasy to retreat...
...
On Marin's side, seeing his opponent retreat, he thought about it and said:
"Then we will catch up! Pass the order and the whole army will advance! However, be careful to advance slowly and maintain the formation!"
The artillery artillery in front of the Beihai Kingdom army is wheeled and easy to push. The row of Yu Dayou unicycle chariots standing in front of the formation is also easy to move. As long as the bipod behind the unicycle is pulled out of the soil, you can push forward...
So, the coalition of princes of the Eight Kingdoms found that even if they retreated, the other party would chase after him unyieldingly...
...
At this time, Charlie, Earl of Galden, looked up from afar, and pointed to the dirt ramp on the side:
"We push it behind that earth slope! When we get behind the earth slope, we will not be afraid of enemy artillery fire and bullets!" This is a good choice. In the Battle of Waterloo, the anti-French coalition used this move to deal with the artillery tactics of the emperor.
So, the coalition soldiers moved to the side again and retreated behind a large earth slope.
Marin led his army to slowly press forward, but when he arrived near, he found that the opponent's army was hiding behind the slope, which could indeed effectively prevent artillery attacks.
Marin thought about it, looked at the sky again, and realized that it was already noon. So he ordered:
"It just so happens that everyone takes this opportunity to have a meal and then have a rest on the spot!"
So the army paused the pursuit and stopped to have a meal...
Of course, because it was in front of the camp, they couldn't have time to bury the pot and cook. So, they could only simply eat some black bread slices. Then, they took out some beer and drank a little for each person as a drink.
In fact, Marin usually does not allow the soldiers to drink alcohol, and only drink boiled water. However, during the battle, there is no time to boil water. Therefore, he can only bring some dark beer to temporarily serve as a hydrating drink. Anyway, he will not get drunk even if he drinks at all.
When the coalition saw the other party having lunch, they took the opportunity to sit down and eat. However, their conditions were much worse. Because the eight princes were very stingy, the lunch they provided was black stick bread mixed with a lot of soil and stones. This bread was very hard, not only chewing teeth, but also difficult to digest. The soldiers soaked it in cold water for a while before they could soak the black stick bread softened and then swallowed it.
After eating and drinking, Malin once again climbed the temporary platform built on the chariot and found that the earth slope that the enemy used as a cover could be circled. So he ordered the army to start to circumnavigate and go around the side of the enemy. In this way, the opponent would no longer have the earth slope as a cover...
Subsequently, the Beihai Kingdom's guns and cannons were shot hard, causing a large number of casualties to the enemy. At the same time, the black-shirted knights who were traveling around also caused huge casualties to the enemy.

So, under the command of the two Dukes of Henry, the coalition of the eight-nation princes once again commanded the army to launch a charge and rushed towards the North Sea Kingdom battle formation.
However, their charge did not even break through the level of Yu Dayou's unicycle...
Most of the soldiers of the First and Second Legion of the Beihai Kingdom were veterans with ten years of battlefield experience. Faced with the opponent's strong attack, they were not afraid, calmly and calmly inserted into the soil through bipods, stabbing each other with their opponents.
Because the spearmen in the front row were wearing chest armor and iron helmets, they were not afraid to stab each other with the enemy in front. On the other hand, due to insufficient military expenditure, few soldiers in the front row wore chest armor.
In this way, in the competition of mutual harm between stabbing each other through the wheelbarrow chariots, the coalition with worse equipment naturally does not have the advantage.
At this time, Marin suddenly used a big move - he released the 1,000 straw hat swordsmen from East Friesland...
These straw hat swordsmen were originally the most elite troops of the East Friesland Kingdom, and they were all very skilled. These people usually wore simple armor, rain-proof straw hats, and charged forward with big swords with both hands.
In ancient times, all those who could use two-handed swords to fight were powerful generals and brothers with great martial arts skills or great strength. Although they had not fought for ten years, these people had a strong foundation.
Moreover, this time, Marin replaced their bird guns and their whole body with brand new equipment - Marin asked them to change into a full set of rhino leather armor. In addition, they created a brand new steel two-handed sword for them...
In this way, without increasing the combat weight, their protection has been greatly improved. Moreover, the weapons in their hands are more sharp.
It should be pointed out that the two-handed swordsman exists to deal with the spearmen. The spears used by the spearmen are difficult to deal with. But the two-handed swordsman can be used. These two-handed swordsman are good at using the two-handed swordsman to open or even cut off the opponent's spear. Then, he goes up and uses the two-handed swordsman to chop the enemy...
Although the rhino leather armor that Marin replaced them with was not bulletproof, it was used to prevent bows and arrows and spears.
Therefore, after changing into the full set of rhino leather armor, these 1,000 straw hat swordsmen rushed into the enemy formation from the side with confidence and began to slash, causing the enemy formation to become scattered...
...
After a fierce battle, the enemy was finally defeated...
However, before Marin could take a breath, a shocking shout of killing came from behind the enemy's formation...
Marincends the heights and looks far away - it turns out that it is Steindorf's main force of the Third Legion...
Steindorf was not a rookie like Arthas. When he arrived with the Third Legion infantry, he happened to encounter a melee between the two sides.
Seeing that the enemy was all focused on fighting with the main force of the Beihai Kingdom, they ignored the rear. The enemy cavalry was also restrained by the Black-shirt Knights and the Cossack Cavalry and went to the side of the road.
So, Steindorf, despite the fact that the soldiers were still tired after they arrived, took the troops and launched a charge while the enemy did not report it...
In fact, Steindorf had only eight thousand infantrymen in his hands. However, Steindorf cunningly asked his subordinates to run and disperse, and started to charge from a distance. As soon as his troops were dispersed, he created the illusion of 10,000 or 20,000 people charging.
Of course, if the enemy was the only one of them, Steindorf would never dare to rush like this. However, Steindorf knew that his master Marin had a very good brain and would definitely understand his intention...
...
Sure enough, the eight-nation prince coalition forces that had just returned were shocked and at a loss when they saw about 10,000 or 20,000 people suddenly broke out behind them.
Marin was a little puzzled at first, wondering why Steindorf dared to attack the enemy formation for eight thousand people. But after he noticed that Steindorf's men were really charging from a distance, he immediately understood that Steindorf was bluffing and scaring his opponent...
However, Steindorf chose a very good opportunity. The enemy had just been defeated and his morale was declining. At this time, a shout of killing suddenly came from behind, which was indeed very scary.
Marin didn't plan Steindorf's good intentions, so he climbed up to the platform, pulled out his command knife, and shouted:
"Warriors, the reinforcements of the Third Legion are here and are attacking the enemy with us! Now, everyone has them, except for artillery, everyone else takes up their swords, rushes up, and kills all the enemies!"
Schwartz also shouted:
"Everyone charges!"
"Run!" Stad also shouted.
