The Rise of the European Emperor

Chapter 465: Escape north!

Outside the east gate of the Bosa coalition camp, Marin's main force of 20,000 had been feigning attack for more than half an hour, but there was still no movement to the west of the enemy's camp.

Marin was very puzzled, and by the light of the torch, he took out a bulky gold pocket watch the size of a bun, looked at the time, and determined that it was more than half an hour, or even almost 40 minutes.

"Did something happen?" Marin thought nervously.

However, Marin quickly rejected his idea. If there is an accident, there should be movement in the west. For example, the Bosa coalition found reinforcements and took the initiative to attack. However, that should also be screaming and killing. As it is now, there is no movement from the west...

The Bossa coalition was obviously not willing to let the engineers under Marin dig and fill the pits, so Frederick III mobilized archers, climbed the top of the earth wall with ladders, and shot down, mainly shooting those who dig the earth.

However, Marin had been prepared for this. He arranged a lot of musketeers under the fence, just waiting for the other party to emerge...

Sure enough, when an archer appeared on the earth wall, there was a burst of gunfire, and a lot of Bursa coalition archers fell from the wall.

However, Frederick III was not very nervous. Because, it is now more than four in the morning, and in more than an hour, the sky will begin to dawn. As long as it lasts until dawn, with the superior strength of the Bursa coalition, it will definitely be able to withstand the storm of the 20,000-strong army of Marin.

Even Frederick III and Joachim I had already made the army all assembled behind the earth wall. Just wait for the sun to rise, and then counterattack.

But now, the reason why the Bursa coalition army has not made much movement, and only sent people to block the east gate, is mainly because the soldiers of the Bursa coalition army, except for some scouts, have no experience in night battles. It is obviously unwise to fight at night with the East Frisian army, which is good at night fighting. Therefore, the strategy of the Bursa coalition is to delay the time until dawn, and then fight decisively.

Over time, many of the two trenches outside the east wall of the Allied Forces Camp in Bursa have been dug and filled by the engineers of the East Frisian Minstreng Army who were digging hard with shovels in hand.

And at 4:30, from the southwest of the Bursa coalition camp, there was a fire soaring into the sky...

It turned out that after Woolf Esbrand and Saqqara brought the army to the outside of the southwestern end wall of the Bursa coalition camp, they found that the wall of the camp here was actually made of wooden fences, and the outside was not wrapped with yellow mud.

This is no wonder, after all, neither Frederick III nor Joachim I expected that there would be enemy troops in the west. Therefore, the west wall is very rough, with only wooden fences. Moreover, outside the fence, no pits were dug.

This was so, mainly because they concluded that there was no threat to the west. Moreover, this kind of military camp is only a temporary station, there is no need to make it too complicated, otherwise, it is very inconvenient to dismantle.

The reason why the thick mud wall was built in the east is because the main force of the army facing Marin, naturally needs to strengthen the defense, so it is so complicated and strong. But that also has the disadvantage that it is very troublesome to dismantle. If you want to pull out the stakes on the eastern fence, you have to peel off the thick dirt crust on the outside, and then you can pull out the stakes.

Still, it's worth it. After all, the east side faced Marin's main force head-on. If someone easily breaks through the city wall and invades the camp at night, it will be over.

On the west side, because both Frederick III and Joachim I concluded that there were no enemies, the wall was very simple, just put stakes, then nail it with wooden boards, and tie some ropes, and it was done.

Not to mention, after using so many thick wooden sticks and nails, it is quite troublesome for ordinary people to dismantle those fences. Even if the fence is removed, the people behind the fence are ready long ago.

However, this time, the people of the Bursa coalition encountered Woolf Esbrand. Who is Woolf Esbrand? That is a little bit of a European general who is good at intrigue!

Before, Woolf Esbrand used the method of breaking the embankment,

The water flooded tens of thousands of Danish troops. In addition, he had received special training in Eastern tactics from Marin, so he was no stranger to fire attack methods. No, after seeing the pure wood fence, Woolf Esbrand immediately thought of a fire attack...

So, after arriving near the fence, Woolf Esbrand asked his men to collect firewood...

Therefore, Woolf Esbrand and Saqqara, who originally planned to start the attack at 4:00, were only ready at 4:30 because of raising firewood.

Under the command of Woolf Esbrand, the soldiers evenly placed the firewood from the haystacks of the nearby manor (strictly speaking, the soldiers brought the whole haystack), evenly placed Some grease was poured under the corner of the wooden fence on the southwest side of the Bosa coalition camp.

Then, the 18,000 reinforcements who had been in the dark, finally started to light up the torches, and started to light the firewood...

Soon, the wooden fence to the southwest of the Bosa coalition camp was ignited by firewood. In an instant, the southwest direction was blazing into the sky. And the people who were still paying attention to the northeast were horrified to find out that the enemy army seemed to be coming from the southwest...

Fences made of wood are very afraid of fire. After a while, the wooden fence at the southwest end of the camp was not burnt to pieces. Woolf Esbrand and Saqqara ordered the soldiers to use their spears to free the remnants of the wooden fences that had been burned out of shape. Then the road is clear. A large number of reinforcements entered the camp from behind the burned wooden fence, and stood in front of the stunned 30,000 Bosa coalition troops and civilians...

Then, there is a brief awkwardness in the scene. The 30,000 people of the Bursa coalition were a little stunned, and Woolf Esbrand and Saqqara and the reinforcements they led were also a little stunned-why didn't these people run away when they saw us? We are enemies...

It was Woolf Esbrand who reacted the fastest. He let the musketeers who had lit the arquebus come forward, "crackling" and shot and killed the group of people at the front... Suddenly, miserable Cries come and go...

Finally, those dazed Saxon and Brandenburgers came to their senses—Oh my God, this is the enemy who kills without blinking an eye...

Then, these unarmed people finally screamed and started running around, their eyes full of horror...

However, Woolf Esbrand was a little dumbfounded - what about going north to attack the camp of the enemy soldiers? Why are you running around like a headless fly?

Anyway, except for the west side of the army led by Woolf Esbrand and Saqqara, in the other three directions, there are scurrying Bursa coalition troops everywhere, giving Woolf Esbrand a headache. ...

At this time, Saqqara reacted, and he proposed:

"How about we give them some pointers and let them flee north?"

"How to point?"

"Shout out..."

"All right……"

Then, a strange scene appeared on the battlefield - a group of soldiers of the main force of the Principality of Schleswig with spears, while driving the strong men of the Bursa coalition with spears, shouted loudly:

"Escape north! Yes, go north! If you run wrong, I will stab you to death..."

Of course, they are not just talking, but really stab people. Some of the people who were scurrying around like headless flies were stabbed to the ground because they didn't flee north according to the instructions, and they screamed and splattered blood...

Driven by the violence of these German spearmen, the 30,000 Bosa coalition troops grew strong and finally merged into a torrent, rushing north...
