UFO hats are only aimed at knights and officers after all, but England is an island country with fewer knights. This time, Edward brought only two thousand knights, plus those officers, there was not much demand for UFO hats.
As for ordinary soldiers, including the three thousand English Longbowmen brought by Edward, they are not equipped with UFO hats. Mainly, it's too late to make so much.
Therefore, in addition to those knights and officers, the rest of the soldiers were equipped with East Frisian style straw hats in order to prevent their eyes from being blocked by rain.
This straw hat was the straw hat worn by the swordsmen of the East Frisian straw hat. This straw hat has a large brim, which is equivalent to a small umbrella on the head. Before, the straw hat swordsman of East Friesland relied on this big hat to block the rain without using an umbrella. Of course, it is also because there is no umbrella in Europe at all.
But after it was put into use, Marin also found a problem-the original East Frisian straw hat swordman's straw hat was too big, and the hat would affect the comrades beside him when the soldiers lined up. Therefore, Marin made changes to shorten the straw hat brim, making the hat more similar to the straw hats of later generations. But in order to prevent rain from blocking the view, the front brim is much longer than the straw hats of later generations.
Subsequently, the officers of the Marin Army Middle East Frisian began to teach the soldiers to weave straw hats themselves. There are a lot of grasses in the local area. In addition to straw hats, everyone wears clothes. With the clothes and straw hat, the army is no longer afraid of the rainy weather in Ireland.
As for officers and knights, wear plate armor including UFO hats and helmets during combat. And usually, they are wearing raincoats provided by Marin, which is very convenient. At least, it's much lighter than the clothes.
At this time, the army of Dublin City gathered. Even Adler, Wicklow, brought 40 knights and 1500 soldiers from Wicklow County. Of these, 500 were the unruly Cossack cavalry that Marin gave him ...
Adler is now the Earl of Wicklow. Although he belongs to the North Sea kingdom, the nominal monarch is always Edward. Therefore, when Edward conquered Ireland this time, he also wanted to join the war. Moreover, Adler has longed for war. This war is definitely a great opportunity for him.
There is a brother who is too strong. For Adler, the pressure is also great. Because, people will always compare him with Marin.
But Adler is also very clear that, on martial arts, he can beat Marin a few. But when it comes to military command capabilities, he can't match Malin's half with 100. Therefore, honestly being a slam dunk in charge is his only way out. Moreover, he also likes to charge.
However, Marin was afraid of Adler sitting in the army before. In addition, it also meant not wanting to hurt him. Therefore, Adler has never had the opportunity to lead troops to charge. In the several wars of Marin, he could only guard the city with the militia in the rear like old Huffman, but he suffocated him.
So, this time with the opportunity to charge, Adler was happy and broke. After coming to Dublin, Adler immediately met Edward, the monarch. Then, request to be a pioneer.
But Edward did not agree. After all, Adler was the brother of Marin, his strongest ally. If the vanguard hit the enemy in ambush, he would not be able to explain himself. So, in the end, Edward gave Adler an honorary title of Cavaliers Deputy Commander, allowing Adler to launch a charge with two thousand English Cavaliers. In this way, it can fully guarantee its safety. After all, if the two thousand knights as the main force are defeated, the entire army is insecure, and it doesn't matter if someone is safe or insecure.
As for the 1,500 men under Adler, because of the existence of 500 Cossack light cavalry, Edward was used as a scout cavalry, and was first scattered. After all, these Cossacks are light cavalry and are best suited for such jobs.
Marin decided to leave after handing over the good work and describing his brotherhood with Adler. Before leaving, Marin repeatedly told the knights who accompanied Adler to charge-if it is in danger, please give priority to the safety of Adler. If an accident occurs because of this, the North Sea Congress will provide generous remuneration, even a knighthood and a fief ...
The reason why Marin did this is not without basis. Adler is too belligerent and always likes to rush ahead. That is, in Europe, if he rests in ancient China, he likes to rush in front of him, and he must be the first to trip the horse, just like the second Guan Guan in Maicheng ... So, he can only tell him to protect him safely The knights are ...
After explaining many things, Marin left Dublin on a battleship. After all, in this war, the protagonist is Edward, not him. He is here, easy to grab a show ...
...
Marin had just returned to Aurich, and hadn't rested yet, he suddenly reported it-the only son of Emperor Maximilian I, the ruler of Burgundy and the Netherlands, and the prince Philip, the handsome king ...
I heard that it was the eldest son's son who came, and Marin hurried to adjust the entire dress and smiled to greet the young master of the Holy Roman Empire.
However, at the gate of the palace, Marin found that the young master, Philip, seemed to be upset, and he almost wrote "I'm angry" on his face ...
"What's the matter? I didn't offend this little man ..." Marin was puzzled.
In the living room, after Philip spoke, Marin learned the reason:
"Master Marin, aren't you too interesting? Send an army to support Edward's conquest of Ireland, why don't you send troops to help the Habsburg family?"
The dissatisfaction of Prince Philip's face was full of questions.
Malin didn't know what to say for a while ...
And Prince Philip continued:
"Master Marin, although Edward is your monarch, but my father is also your monarch! At the time, my father promoted you to a knight and a baron of the empire. You recaptured East Friesland, my father and Our Habsburg family also recognized it for the first time. Why is our Habsburg family currently disadvantaged in the Swiss war situation, but you refuse to send troops to assist? That King Edward went to attack Ireland, and you immediately sent a legion in the past Is the difference too obvious? "
Feelings ~ www.novelhall.com ~ This little man was dissatisfied that he ruled out the Sixth Army to support Edward, but did not send troops to support the emperor ...
Marin was relieved, this good answer ...
"His Royal Highness, it is not that I do not want to support His Majesty the Emperor. Rather, I dare not ..."
"Don't dare? What do you mean?" Philip was a little dazed.
"Your Highness, hasn't your majesty ever told you? My Grand Duke of the North Sea Kingdom is very crowded and hostile by German princes! If it wasn't for the strength of my army, I would have been destroyed several times. And, Your Highness, do you know why I was rejected by the German princes? "Marin asked back.
Prince Philip was stunned for a moment and replied uncertainly:
"Because you were born low?"
Marin sighed:
"This is only a small part of the reason, the biggest reason is-I am the person promoted by His Majesty the Emperor ..."
