King of Mercenaries Chapter 282

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

Marin jumped happily after seeing the situation ahead with a telescope on the high platform at the back. Of course, there are still some discomforts in my heart.

You know, these 1,000 knights are basically from the knight family. Most of them have formal titles, and they are actually the same wandering knights as before Marin, and they can't survive until they go to the rich Duke of Saxony. Therefore, in the face of being killed by his own men, Marin was actually indifferent. Moreover, after this battle, Marin can be sure that he will offend many Cavaliers. Because their sons are dead or disabled in the hands of Marin ...

Alas, Marin did not regret it. Who told these guys to mingle with their rival Duke Saxony? Following the wrong master, there must be a consciousness of death.

公 In the opposite Saxony army, the Duke of Saxony, who was also standing on the proposed wooden tower that was temporarily set up, was furious:

"Bastard, bastard! Marin, this bastard, slaughtered my knight!" Although far away, the Duke of Saxony could still be seen dimly. The knights who fell in front of him were smashed by Marin's men or with a hammer, or with The musket was aimed at close range. On the battlefield, there were screams of those noble knights ...

In a blink of an eye, all of Saxony's elite 1,000 plate cavalry were broken. Although many wounded people still survive in the middle of the battlefield, with the medical conditions of this era, most of those knights lying in the middle will be dead. However, in order to avoid letting his subordinates feel sorrowful, the Duke of Saxony still sent a small number of light cavalry assisted by his men to rescue people in the middle of the battlefield.

He was about "out of grace", and Marin didn't order to shoot the Saxon Auxiliary Hussars who were trying to save people. In fact, Marin was not out of demeanor, he just wanted to use the sorrow of these wounded people to return to fight the morale of the Saxons ...

公 The Duke of Saxony was so annoyed that he had originally envisaged a battle that had been captured, but he did not expect to lose thousands of knights in the beginning, which had already caused him to be stricken. Because his knights and apprentice knights together add up to 3,000 people. Today, nearly one-third is lost in a single charge. Such a loss, even if the Duke of Saxony's wealth is large, can't stand it. After all, these knights are not the humble recruits, and it doesn't hurt to die.

You know, these heavy cavalry, all wearing plate armor, came from all German knight families. Even the lowest-level heavy cavalry is from the families of the formal knights, usually the non-eldest sons of those knights. Today, thousands of casualties have left the Duke of Saxony wondering how to account to these families. After all, the Principality of Saxony is still a vassal state of the division system. Even the Duke of Saxony is only the top aristocracy at the top of the divisional system. He also needs the support and support of the nobility at the bottom. Because, in this era, local official positions were basically controlled by these low-level knight families and jazz families. Without their support and support, the rule of the Duke of Saxony would be unstable ...

Sure enough, the knights who were dismounted by the muskets halfway were taken back, and the wailing screams made their colleagues feel at ease. Then, looking at Marin's battle array, there was also fear.

Marin did what he did this time. Normally, after the knights were dismounted, they were usually **** by their opponents and asked for ransom. However, Marin was not short of money. He was also worried that after the knights were redeemed, he would continue to serve the Duke of Saxony and continue to embarrass himself. In addition, Marin also wanted to play a big, ruthless, so that those nobles did not dare to provoke themselves easily. As a result, the knights in the first wave of charge were all bad. After landing, many knights are still waiting for the other to capture themselves. The children are thinking about whether they are holding back or surrendering directly ... I did not expect that the blood-stained warhammer and the evil bullets did not give them thought Opportunity……

After 's anger, the Duke of Saxony knew that a positive breakthrough was not realistic. From the wounded knight who was rescued, he learned that in front of the Marin battlefield, there were two tunnels filled with vicious wooden spikes below, making it difficult for heavy cavalry to break through. Not only that, even if the heavy cavalry crossed two pits, there was a row of wooden spikes slanting forward in front, which was also deadly. In such a situation, brute force breakthrough, very risky. What's more, there are many musketeers on the other side and their lethality is amazing.

So, the Duke of Saxony who calmed down thought about it and decided to look for opportunities from the flanks:

"Mavis, take 500 cavalry to the enemy flank to investigate and see if there is a trap on their flank!"

Just right, when the Duke of Saxony saw Mavis returning from the horse exchange, he asked him to take 500 people to observe Marin's war on the side and find the opponent's weakness. The frontal attack was difficult, and the Duke of Saxony turned his mind in another direction.

Alas, Mavis took the 500 cavalry to the left of the Marin battlefield ...

It was a coincidence that Marin arranged the musketeers to the front, and there were no musketeers on the side. Therefore, when Mavis took someone to observe the flanks of the Marin front, he was not shot by muskets. Therefore, they can stay and observe leisurely.

As a seasoned knight, Mavis is also very decent. He just knew what happened before and what the Duke meant, so he asked a few knights and ordered:

"You, rush forward, stop by the enemy and see if there are any traps!"

几个 The few unlucky eggs who were named were crying:

"Sir, if there is a trap, we will be dead!" They all know that the traps set by Marin are very vicious. In the two trenches, all the wooden spikes are facing upwards. Can kill a horse. Moreover, the sublime strength of the first batch of knights against Islam's men, even if they were not killed by the spikes, they would be killed by the other soldiers.

"Well, it makes sense. You two, pick up a few stones, rush to the front and back, throw stones to see if there are any traps. I see that the land on the side of their wings is not normal ... ... "

After a while, the knights really picked up a few small stones and rushed forward. When they were close to the flanks of the Marlin battlefield, they threw them out, hitting the branches and grass that covered the traps. Then the trench was discovered ...

"Sure enough, there are traps. This Marin is really vicious. Even the flanks dug so many traps ... well, there are also wooden spikes ..."

Mavis turned to the right and tried it with stones. There are still traps ...

Marin took a look—this is ok, this grandson is looking for a trap, and so leisurely ... can't make him so arrogant. So he called Steindorf, the commander of the Black Shirt Knight:

"It's your turn, take your Knights in Black Shirt, and destroy the Saxons!"

"Yes, sir!" Steindorf had been impatiently waiting behind the army. Moreover, he was anxious to make a contribution. After getting Marin's order, they turned from the back of the battle, each holding a carbine, aggressively running towards the 500 knights led by Mavis ...

"A musketeer on horseback?" Mavis looked at it, and then he took amusement:

"Brothers, the enemy is here to deliver the food. Follow me and kill the hundreds of enemy cavalry in black clothes! They are armed with muskets and they are close to each other!" Mavis apparently took the horse on horseback. The musketeers became infantry musketeers.

As a result, Mavis's 500 knights lined up in a row, **** rifles, prepared to attack Steindorf's "black shirt knight", and then slaughtered them.

However, to the surprise of Mavis and others, the black shirt knights led by Steindorf did not come directly to them. At a distance of 100 meters, the black shirt knights turned and ran forward, perpendicular to the direction of Mavis and others.

However, the route they run is a bit weird. Looking at the direction is south, in fact, it is west-southwest, getting closer and closer to the 500 Saxon Cavaliers of Mavis ...

When the distance between them reached within 50 meters, the "Black Shirt Knights" opened fire ...

"Pop-Pap-Pop-" After a burst of gunfire ~ www.novelhall.com ~ Thirty Saxon Knights fell off ...

That is, the level of shooting of these black shirt knights is quite average, after all, riding shooting is too difficult to practice. Moreover, Mavis's men are lined up in a square array and the width is not large. At the same time, the musketeers fired to the right, which was awkward and difficult to aim at. Otherwise, there will definitely be more than thirty in this round, but there will be more ...

马 When Mavis and his men began to accelerate, chasing the Black Shirt Cavaliers, Steindorfer deflected with his men, and began to run south-east, keeping a distance from Mavis. Another round of shooting ...

Then, more than two dozen Saxon knights fell down ...

Mavis wants to chase again, but finds that Marin is getting closer and closer. If you don't stop, you may fall directly. So he had to slow down his men.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the knights in black shirts turned around again and fired, and they stopped and turned to fire ...

"Pop-pop-pop-pop-" This time the black shirt knights have a much higher hit rate. Sixty or seventy people were shot down and dismounted ...

Mavis didn't dare to stay, he could see that his knights could not chase the black cavalry in black. The other party did not pay attention to glory at all and was very shameless. Therefore, he simply led people to flee to the front.

But during the retreat, he was chased by 800 black shirt knights, and shot two rounds of black guns behind them. As a result, hundreds of Saxony knights fell down again ...

But unfortunately, the black shirt knights only brought 5 carbines, there was no ammunition. Because it is inconvenient to load bullets on horseback and easy to be attacked by the enemy, they first returned to the front of the array to load medicine ...
