King of Mercenaries Chapter 277

Published at 14th of June 2023 05:16:44 AM

初 At the beginning of December, Marin went to the appointed battlefield and inspected it. It was found that there was a 30-km-wide flat land 5 kilometers east of the battlefield, which allowed the Saxony army to escape. So Marin hurriedly organized farmers to dig a little wider river in this 3km wide area.

The Xiao River does not need to be as deep as the water, as long as it is wide enough. If the Saxon army flees east, it must pass through this stream. The infantry was no problem crossing the river, but the plate knights wearing heavy armor and even horses wearing heavy horse armor, never dreamed of crossing the river. Because too heavy knights and war horses are likely to sink into the mud in the river. Unless, use wooden boats to cross the river or bridge. However, Marin obviously will not leave such a flaw. People near the river had their boards seized, not to mention leaving a boat on the river.

I finally arrived on December 10th, and the army was about to go tomorrow. In order to boost morale, Marin decided to "show" a miracle and boost morale ...

The so-called display of miracles is naturally forged. However, in Europe, forging miracles is blasphemy, so it is absolutely impossible to leave evidence to be found. Therefore, the "100 copper coins facing up" trick used by the very classic Northern Song dynasty master Di Qing could not be used. Because the 100 copper coins that have been transformed are flaws. If any curious subordinate discovers the mystery, he will become a sinner of blasphemy.

So Marin decided to take another approach-Kong Ming lantern ...

For this reason, Marin secretly made four huge Kongming lanterns in series, a total of 28 Kongming lanterns, strung with wire to spell four letters-SIEG ...

"Sieg" means "Victory" in German. To create a Kong Ming lamp spelling the word "Victory" naturally fools the soldiers. Moreover, Europeans have never seen Kong Ming lanterns, which is also convenient for confusion. If Huaxia stayed in the same period, perhaps a knowledgeable reader would recognize it as a Kong Ming lantern ...

For this reason, on the evening of December 10, Marinte held an oath and prayer meeting before the expedition. Marin first delivered an impassioned speech, and shamelessly hinted at his identity as a "god-dependent", and believed that his expedition would surely win.

In this regard, the soldiers were actually dubious. In fact, even an optimistic soldier did not think that East Frisian would hold his country this time. Few want to beat Saxony. Because of the strength of Saxony, for centuries, it has penetrated into the hearts of Germans. Marin, with his frivolous East Friesland, didn't seem to be wise to compete with Saxony. However, because the military law in the army is strict, everyone is afraid to say words of frustration, so as not to be punished for "shaking the army's heart". A few days ago, because of spreading pessimistic opinions, some people were locked in a horrible "small black house", which has not yet been released ...

So, the morale before the expedition was actually not high ...

Umarin took the soldiers and prayed to **** ...

(Actually, because there are few people in the southeast direction, there is an uninhabited forest under the jurisdiction of Marin, which is convenient for Kohler's men to "show" miracles ...)

At first, everyone didn't care. However, at 8 o'clock in the evening, a little "sparkle" suddenly appeared in the southeast direction ... This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that this "slightly sparkle" spelled four huge letters-S , I, E, G, together, is the "victory" of German ...

Those illiterate soldiers are fine, but those literate officers are shocked ...

"Sieg ... sieg ... Master, even **** gave a sign of victory! Master, we are winning!" Schwartz on the side did not get Marin's explanation, so he mistakenly thought it was true The "miracle" of ...

"Oh my God, is Lord Earl really a god? Or else, how could the stars spell the word" victory "? We won?" Frentzberger was very shocked to see "miracles" appearing in his chest. Slam the cross forward.

Even a lot of devout officers saw the miracle and knelt down and prayed. Although the soldiers were illiterate, they didn't know what the southeast sky was. However, spelling letters with "stars" must be "miracles". As a result, a large swath of the knees ...

But Marin fell to his knees and shouted:

"Thank **** for your blessing, Marin, your most faithful believer, will obey your will and defeat the greedy Duke of Saxony!"

On his side, Kohler, who knew the inside story, shook his arm and shouted:

"Jesus is on, we will defeat the Saxons! Defeat the Saxons!"

"Destroy the Saxons!"

"Destroy the Saxons!"

Uh ...

将 All the soldiers shouted in oblivion. Instantly, the morale, which was originally not high, soared to the top, and it was full ...

Marin looked at the enthusiastic generals with great satisfaction, and felt that the victory was more secure ...

In fact, since the formation of the army, Marin has fought many battles with everyone. However, there have been no cases of direct defeat of the enemy. Even his men, the only time he faced the enemy in front of him, was on Texel. But even that time, he did not win, but the army returned to Den Burg.

The big wins under Marin's command were all based on night attacks and sneak attacks. Therefore, it is very unconvincing. In the eyes of outsiders, even a lot of people in the army only think that Marin's commanding methods are superb and more cunning ~ www.novelhall.com ~ But the specific combat strength of Marin's army, even the army itself, has many People are not bullish.

After all, in several great victories, they were all unprepared enemies who sneaked in, not crushing them in the past. Therefore, everyone is actually not very confident, and they don't know how well they are fighting against each other.

This is what Marin is extremely worried about. Attacking the enemy naturally does not require any morale. This is because our army naturally has advantages and even has a sense of superiority in our hearts. Even the long street **** attack on Emden was the unlucky Siwag's Frisian prisoners of war served as cannon fodder. Therefore, Marin's men have basically face to face and the enemy's army has just passed the front.

士 Moral is very, very important when you are right in front. If morale is low, it is easy to collapse after suffering a certain amount of war damage. But if morale is high, that is, more confident, even if there is a large amount of loss, but the soldiers are confident that they ultimately win is themselves, then it is easy to eventually defeat the opponent ...

On the battlefield, in addition to technical skills and equipment, the most important thing is morale and confidence. Especially in the era of very brutal face-to-face killings, it is often easier for the army to win more morale. And if morale is low, even advanced equipment and tactics are useless.

So, Maringham took the world by storm and forged this "miracle" in order to stimulate the low morale and increase the winning side for his side.

Sure enough, the power of religion was good in ancient times. All of a sudden, Marin's tens of thousands of horses were like chicken blood, and he didn't care about the number advantage of the army of the Duke of Saxony ...

The next day, Marin took the tens of thousands of troops with "full blood and full morale" early in the morning, and confidently marched towards Lair County ...
