The Rise of the European Emperor

"Boom-boom-boom-" came three loud noises, and the Scottish King James IV, who was sleeping, was suddenly awakened.

"What's the matter, Ferguson, go out and see!"

In the big tent, Ferguson, the captain of the night guard, was immediately ordered to go out to check.

After a while, Ferguson ran back in a panic:

"Your Majesty, something has happened, and someone has attacked the camp!"

"What? Someone attacked the camp? How many people are there? Quickly organize the soldiers to resist and drive the other party out of the camp!"

The Scottish army was on guard, because none of the scouts sent out during the day came back, and James IV ordered everyone to be alert in the middle of the night.

Therefore, after the night attack began, many Scottish soldiers dressed in one and walked out of the tent with weapons. Of course, there were also some Scottish soldiers who started scurrying like headless flies out of fear and fear...

So, at the beginning, the more alert Scottish soldiers were busy suppressing and appeasing the comrades who bombed the camp, and they failed to gather together and form a battle formation.

Just such a short delay was doomed to the sad reminder of the Scottish army. Because, Marin's army, led by 3,000 knives and shield soldiers, rushed directly into the Scottish camp, and divided the Scottish army into several pieces...

Affected by the last time he was shot with a bow and arrow, this time Marin did not enter the enemy camp himself. Moreover, Edward was by his side, and he couldn't let Edward, the king, risk his life. So he and Edward stayed outside the camp under the protection of the guards. However, Kahn, the beast, was still put in as a pioneer. With him charging in front, it's almost unstoppable. Moreover, the Scottish army is a cold weapon force, except for artillery, the Scottish army is not equipped with muskets. It is impossible to use artillery in the haste of being attacked at night. There is no danger in letting Kahn charge.

Under the leadership of Kahn, the troops gathered in Scotland were defeated and unable to gather in the middle of the camp.

James IV looked at the situation around him with despair in his heart...

"Your Majesty, please run for your life!" The captain of the guard, Ferguson Knight, said anxiously.

"Escape? How to escape? Didn't you see so many people?" James IV said desperately.

"No, Your Majesty, the subordinates found that the other party has no troops in the east..." The Ferguson Knight suddenly said.

indeed,

The three blasting points that Marin sent people to open were all in the north and west directions. Because, before James IV, the Scottish soldiers who were vigilant at night paid more attention to the militias in Newcastle City to the east of the camp and the militias in the south of the camp. As a result, the defenses to the north and west were relatively weak, allowing the demolition team to find three powder keg burial sites.

However, because the security on the east side is relatively tight, there are naturally no blasting points here. Without a blasting point, there is no gap. If there are no gaps, there will be no enemy soldiers...

Seeing that it was irreversible, James IV finally made up his mind - to escape with his cronies...

It happened that James IV sent troops this time, because there were too few Scottish cavalry, so he simply put all the horses near the handsome tent. So, when James IV and his several hundred Scottish knights came to the stables near the tent, horses were easily obtained.

Then, James IV took several hundred of his cronies and knights, mounted the war horse, and rode away to the east gate of the camp. Because they were running for their lives, everyone was very impatient. Facing the Scottish rout blocking the way, the knights mercilessly crushed the past...

After arriving at the east gate, the knights struggled to open the log against the east gate and opened the camp...

Then, James IV left the camp directly from the east gate with a few hundred knights of his cronies...

After leaving the camp, James IV took his men without hesitation and headed north - there, was their hometown of Scotland...

By this time, it was already 4:30 in the morning. At 4:30 in the morning in early August, it was already relatively bright. James IV, with his hundreds of knights, galloped north. On the way, Marin arranged for thousands of infantrymen to guard here, but they were directly washed away by the hundreds of knights of James IV. Of course, hundreds of Scottish knights were picked off their horses by spearmen.

But James IV didn't have time to rescue these men, because he knew that if he delayed for a little while, he would not be able to get away...

So, James IV and his remaining more than 200 men continued to gallop north without hesitation...

Marin was north of the camp and saw James IV's gang fleeing north. Marin hurriedly sent guards to inform the scout cavalry and Coster's 900 horse thieves, and let them go after them with all their strength. Because, Marin can feel it -- there are big fish among those hundreds...

Marin was not worried that the scout cavalry would not be able to catch up with the enemy, because the 500 scout cavalry under him were equipped with Arabian horses, one of the most durable breeds. The Scottish horses are typically large, powerful, explosive, but poor stamina knight horses. Moreover, because of the hasty escape, the group of Scots who escaped on horseback did not have two horses, but one horse. Without changing horses, Marin doesn't believe their horses can outrun their Arabian horses...

Then, he continued to focus on the battle in the camp...

At the same time, the 2,000 thieves under Maric also surrounded several exits of the Scottish Minstreng Camp, but did not launch an attack, but waited for the results of the main camp to speak.

In the camp, the resistance of the Scots grew weaker. After all, they resisted in a hurry, and even the larger battle formations were not able to be formed before they were divided and surrounded. In addition, Marin's troops are twice as many as they are, and their resistance is getting weaker and weaker under the division and siege of the superior enemy and the strong impact...

Kahn is extremely brave. He wields a huge mace and wears plate armor all over, and his breastplate is still high-manganese steel. Invulnerable to swords and bullets, the power of the weapon is enormous. Such a war machine is naturally like a no-man's land, and quickly defeated all the enemies in front of it.

However, when Kahn rushed into the central tent with hundreds of sword and shield soldiers, he was surprised to find that the central tent was empty...

"Grass! It turns out that among the hundreds of people who escaped, there was King James IV! The special code, all the horseback riders, were specially chased by me!"

But Marin soon found that the order was in vain, because in the entire army, there were only 500 cavalry on horseback. And although he himself rides a horse, he can't chase after him, right? As for the guards, Marin didn't let them go after him in the end...

As Marin expected, James IV and his men were quickly overtaken by scout cavalry on Arabian horses. Seeing that the enemy was getting closer, the captain of the guard, Ferguson, gritted his teeth and said:

"Your Majesty, you go first with a few people, these enemies, let's block them!"

Then, Ferguson took two hundred Scottish knights, turned their horses, and rushed towards the chasing scout cavalry. James IV, on the other hand, continued to take a dozen guards and continued to flee north on his horse...

Seeing that two hundred Scottish knights turned around and rushed over, Malin's scout cavalry was startled. In terms of immediate melee combat, they were no match for these knights. As a result, these scout cavalry resolutely turned their horses and began to fight with the enemy, never making head-to-head contact. At the same time, they pulled out their long-loaded clockwork carbine...

On James IV's side, just as he and his men fled north frantically, a few long hemp ropes suddenly rose up on the road ahead. At the same time, in the ditch by the road, a bunch of people also stood up...

James IV and his subordinates were galloping on their horses at this time. Seeing this, although they were screaming badly in their hearts, they could not control the horses to stop...

As a result, including James IV, the gang's horses were tripped over by the slings. James IV on horseback, and the guards, couldn't stop the car and fell directly. Then, they fell into a daze, and before they recovered, they were held down by a group of thieves from the Robin Hood Thieves Group, and then they were tied up...

When the 500 scout cavalry, relying on the clockwork carbine, finally solved the 200 Scottish knights who were blocking the road, and rushed north, they saw that Maric was shoving 1000 men, shoving southward.

This time Maric personally led people to ambush on the side of the road. As for encircling the camp, he only sent a deputy to lead people because there was no need to fight. As for the ambush roadside battle, he decided to bring people to do it himself. Because only he is familiar with the fighting style of using trip horses. After all, he had worked under Marin and knew how to use the tripod...

But I didn't expect that this time he personally led the ambush and caught a super big "big fish"...

Seeing the scout cavalry coming up, Maric smiled at Mackenson, who was familiar with him and took the lead:

"Knight Mackenson, I have done a great job this time! See? This is the King of Scotland!"
