After arranging for the canal to be dug, Marin no longer stopped, but took 300 men and headed south.
Along the way, it was fairly peaceful, but after entering the mountains of the Principality of Württemberg, Marin and his party encountered a group of bandits unfortunately.
In this era, the principality of Württemberg has many mountainous areas and many mountain people, resulting in many poor mountain people. Moreover, not every mountaineer is honest and kind. No, this time, Marin encountered a bandit gang of up to 800 people.
Moreover, to Marin's surprise, it was seven or eight wandering knights who led this thief ...
However, Marin felt normal. Relying on the fallen mountain people alone, they have little ability to form such a large bandit gang. Mountain commanders alone do not have the commanding ability, only the wandering knights from the knight family have received such training. Moreover, this group of thieves is very visionary, occupying an important mountain pass south of the Principality of Württemberg. Moreover, because it is located in the mountainous region of the southwest border of the Principality of Württemberg, the Principality's army is not able to manage this side.
Marin and his party wanted to go south, either walk this mountain pass, or detour more than 30 kilometers, go to another place west to go south.
Marin is still thinking about the gains and losses, but the grumpy Kahn is not happy first, and he takes the initiative to fight:
"Master, let me smash the brains of this group of bastards!"
Behind Kahn, a group of plate guards also asked for battle, wanting to show a martial art in front of Marin. Marin thought about it, but rejected Kahn's challenge.
Why? Kahn appeared with 100 regular plate armor heavy rides, dare those thieves come out? If they stick to the camp and the mountain pass, they will not be able to go south.
You know, Marin brought cavalry this time, and he was not good at attacking. If it is a strong attack, the loss will be great. The 300 people around Marin are elite, and it is a pity that they are all one. Therefore, Marin decided to outsmart. Of course, if the other party is not fooled, then forget it, detouring is better than trapping here.
Through the telescope, Marin found that the north side of the mountain pass was an empty area, and there was a forest 500 meters north. The trees are relatively sparse and suitable for ambushing.
Thinking of the example of Sieg ’s Swiss mercenary team defeating the Saxon army from the wing, and the case where Li Shimin was good at using the black armor cavalry to attack the enemy from the wing, Marin decided to imitate this tactic once and defeat the gangsters. But first, it is to lead the enemy out ...
So, Marin called Dawn, the captain of the Black Shirt Knight, and asked him and his men to take off their armor, put on irregular and ordinary clothes, and dress up like a horse bandit to provoke the bandits.
Kahn, with 100 plate guards, immediately removed the plate armor and lance equipment from the pack, and ambushed in the woods. As soon as the bandit passed the edge of the woods, he rushed out and attacked the bandit's "waist", striving to defeat the enemy. In order not to make a sound, Marin ordered that everyone tear off a piece of cloth from his body and temporarily tie the horse's mouth so that the war horse hissing will not be heard by the enemy. The horses that were transferred were also sent to the rear by the scouts.
Then, Dawn took the lead and brought two loud black knights to the mountain pass to call for battle:
"Listen to the clutter in front of you, Grandpa Daun is here, call your few illegitimate leaders to come back! Lao Tzu is going to destroy them!" In this era, illegitimate sons are looked down upon, and Daun cursed the wanderers The knight is an illegitimate child, which is definitely a great insult. Of course, Dawn did not dare to mention the word "illegitimate child" in the face of Master Robert.
After learning of the news that they were scolding them as "illegitimate children", the eight rogue knight leaders of this gang of thieves were furious, so they put on weapon armor and took all the thieves to the camp to fight. Dawn also returned to the position.
However, after seeing that the enemy on the opposite side was 100 cavalry, the leader of the bandits calmed down.
"Boss, the opposite party is not good, where is this 100 cavalry? Is it the army of Württemberg?" The second Jeff of the 8 wandering knights said timidly.
"Do n’t be afraid, it ’s just 100 cavalry. And, it ’s not a plate cavalry anymore. Do you forget how the Swiss spearmen defeated the Burgundy knights? We have 800 spearmen, and they will not kill them! Without wearing plate armour, he poke directly on people. By then, we can seize many war horses! "
Obviously, this thief leader is a brain fan of the Swiss spearman. No, 800 thieves, all spearmen, and no archers or crossbowmen.
The thieves leaders looked around and did not find the existence of other troops, so they were relieved. Moreover, the Europeans had no examples of ambush attacks in the Middle Ages, so these wandering knights were careless.
But, he didn't know that in the woods behind the 100 black shirt knights, there were 100 plate armor knights and 100 scouts ...
"Are you clear? Are you sure there is no crossbow?" Marin asked Sauer.
"Yes, it's all spearmen!" Sauer put down his telescope and said affirmatively.
"That's good, order the Black Shirt Knight to attack!"
Then, Sauer scouts ran from behind to the black shirt knight, and verbally conveyed the order.
Then, a group of black shirt knights marched forward, slowly approaching the spear array of the bandit ...
Because the battlefield is actually outside the mountain pass, the field is still wide, and it can accommodate 100 black shirt knights to do deflection riding.
Before the war, the black shirt knights loaded their five carbines with ammunition and set their clockwork. The 100 black-shirt knights drove slowly and stopped suddenly at 40 meters in front of the enemy ...
"What kind of cavalry is this? Why don't you hold a lance? Not even a one-handed sword?" The heads of the bandits, who came from several wandering knights, were a little stunned. To be honest, they haven't seen empty-handed cavalry yet.
Just as several thieves were stunned, the black-shirt knights pulled out the first carbine from the leather bag on the side of the horse and started the volley on the still horse-
"Bang Bang Bang--"
"Ah-it hurts ..."
"Help!"
...
Soon, dozens of armorless thieves spearmen screamed. At a distance of 40 meters, still shooting statically, so the hit rate of the black shirt knights is still very high. At least 70 bandits were shot in this round.
"Horseman ... Musketeer ..." The boss of the bandit was stunned. He had never seen such a service. What's more, the opponent's muskets are so short ... However, their eight leaders are standing high behind, and they are not worried about being hit by a carbine.
Originally, they thought the black shirt knight had finished a round, either withdrawing the reload or pulling the knife to charge. But what made them unexpected was. These black shirt knights did not go at all, but threw the carbine that was shot into a leather bag on the other side of the horseback, then pulled out a carbine from the original leather bag on the other side, and continued shooting ... …
Then, dozens of people were shot again ...
However, this is not over yet. I saw that the black shirt knights threw the carbine shot into the leather bag again, and then took out a carbine again. In the collapsing eyes of several thief bosses, they continued to shoot the lance square ...
In this way, it stopped after five rounds of continuous shooting. Then, the black shirt knights turned their horses back and reloaded. Two or three hundred people were shot in the front row. More than 50 people were saved on the spot, and the rest of them also lost their fighting power.
The thieves leaders regretted their death at this time. They knew that if they insisted like this, when the musketeers on horseback came again, this team was afraid to be over.
So, the bandit boss Miller made a determined decision, waved his hand, and ordered:
"The wounded take a rest ~ www.novelhall.com ~ Others, chase at full speed! Don't let them have the opportunity to stop loading!"
Then, the remaining 500 thieves, led by 8 wandering knights, picked up their spears and began to spread their legs and ran forward ...
In particular, the leader of the bandits who came from 8 wandering knights, they regarded themselves as martial arts strong plate armoured knights, hoping to chase horses to catch up with those black shirt knights.
Because, in their understanding, as long as the musketeer is brought close, it is basically a lamb to be slaughtered ...
Moreover, just before they touched each other's clothing corners, they lost two or three hundred people, making them very annoyed. Without seeing other armies, the leader of the bandit Miller decided that he must kill this group of riding musketeers and **** their horses ...
