Chapter 465 Escape to the north!
Outside the east gate of the Bossa Allied Forces camp, Malin's 20,000 main force had been feinted for more than half an hour, but there was still no movement to the west of the enemy camp.
Marin was very confused. With the light of the torch, he took out a bulky pocket watch as big as a bun, looked at the time, and confirmed that the time had been more than half an hour, or even nearly 40 minutes.
"Did something happen?" Marin thought nervously.
However, Marin quickly denied his idea. If something unexpected happened, there should be movement in the west. For example, the Bossa coalition discovered reinforcements and took the initiative to attack. However, it should also be shouting and killing. Unlike now, there is no movement in the west...
The Bossa coalition was obviously unhappy to let the engineers under Marin dig the soil and fill the pits, so Frederick III mobilized the archers and set up a ladder to climb up the wall of the earth wall, shooting down, mainly shooting those who dug the soil.
However, Marin was prepared for this. He arranged a lot of musketeers under the wall, just waiting for the other party to emerge...
Sure enough, when the archers emerged on the earthen wall, there was a burst of "bang bang--" gunshots, and many archers from the Bossa coalition fell from the wall.
However, Frederick III was not very nervous. Because it was already past four o'clock in the morning, and in more than an hour, it would start to dawn. As long as the sky lasted until dawn, the superior forces of the Bossa coalition would definitely be able to withstand the strong attack of Marin's 20,000 troops.
Even Frederick III and Jockim I have already gathered all the troops behind the earth walls. They have just waited for dawn to counterattack.
Now, the reason why the Bossa coalition did not make much noise was that it was just sending people to block the East Gate was mainly because the soldiers of the Bossa coalition, except for some scouts, had no experience in night battles. It was obviously unwise to confront the East Friesian army, which was good at night battles. Therefore, the Bossa coalition's strategy was to delay time until dawn, and then fight to the decisive battle.
As time went by, many areas of the two trenches outside the east wall of the Bossa Alliance camp were already filled with soil by engineers from the East Friesian Minsheng troops who were digging hard with engineer shovels.
At 4:30, a fire that surged into the sky came from the southwest of the Bossa Allied Forces camp...
It turned out that Woolf Esbrand and Sakara arrived outside the southwest end of the Bossa Alliance Camp and found that the camp wall here was full of wooden fences and there was no yellow mud wrapped outside.
It is no wonder that, after all, Frederick III and Jockim I did not expect that there would be enemy troops in the west. Therefore, the walls on the west were made of very rough, with only wooden fences. Moreover, there were no holes dug outside the fence.
The reason for this is mainly because they concluded that there was no threat to the west. Moreover, such military camps are just temporary garrisons, so there is no need to be too complicated, otherwise it would be inconvenient to demolish them.
The thick soil wall was built on the east side because the main force of the army facing Marin was naturally needed to strengthen its defense, so it was built so complex and solid. But that was also disadvantageous, that was, it was very troublesome to remove it. If you want to pull out the wooden stakes on the east side, you must first peel off the thick soil shell outside before you can remove the wooden stakes.
However, it is worth it. After all, the main army of Marin is facing the east. If someone easily breaks the city wall and attacks the camp at night, it will be done.
On the west side, because Frederick III and Jockim I both concluded that there were no enemies, the wall was made very simple, just insert the wooden stakes, then nailed them with wooden boards, and tied some ropes, and that was the end.
Not to mention, after using so many thick wooden sticks and nails, it is quite troublesome for ordinary people to remove the fences. Even if the fence is removed, the people behind the fence will be ready long ago.
But this time, the people from the Bossa coalition met Woolf Esbrand Who was Woolf Esbrand? He was a European general who was a little good at conspiracy!
Before, Woolf Esbrand used the method of breaking the dam and flooding tens of thousands of Danish troops. In addition, he had received special training in Eastern tactics in Marin, so he was naturally familiar with the method of fire attack. So, after seeing the pure wood fence, Woolf Esbrand immediately thought of fire attack...
So, after coming to the fence, Woolf Esbrand asked his men to collect firewood...
Therefore, Woolf Esbrand and Sakara, who originally planned to start the attack at 4 o'clock, were ready at 4:30 because they raised firewood.
Under the command of Woolf Esbrand, the soldiers brought firewood from the haystacks in the nearby manor (strictly speaking, the soldiers moved the entire firewood and haystacks) evenly placed under the corner of the wooden fence on the southwest side of the Bossa Allied Camp, and poured some grease on it.
Then, the 18,000 reinforcements that had been in the dark finally began to light up the torches and began to ignite the firewood...
Soon, the wooden fence southwest of the Bossa Allied Forces camp was ignited by firewood. In an instant, fires surged into the sky in the southwest. The people who were still paying attention to the northeast were horrified to find that it seemed that the enemy was also coming to the southwest...
The wooden fence was very afraid of fire. In a short while, the wooden fence at the southwest end of the camp was not burned apart. Woolf Esbrand and Saccara ordered the soldiers to use their spears to push away the remaining parts of the unformed wooden fence. Then, the road was clear. A large number of reinforcements entered the camp from behind the burned wooden fence and stood in front of the stunned 30,000 Bossa coalition military and civilians...
Then, the scene was a brief embarrassment. The 30,000 people of the Bossa coalition were a little stunned, while Woolf Esbrand, Sakara and the reinforcements they led were also a little stunned - why didn't these people run away when they saw us? We are enemies...
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Woolf Esbrand reacted the fastest. He asked the musketeers who lit the fuse to step forward, and shot with a "crackling" shot, killing the group of civil warriors who were ahead... Suddenly, screams came one after another...
Finally, the dazed Saxony Minzhuang and Brandenburg Minzhuang reacted - Oh my god, this is an enemy who kills people without blinking...
Then, these unarmed civilians finally screamed and began to run around, their eyes full of horror...
But Woolf Esbrand was a little stunned - what was the promised to rush north to the enemy's camp? Why did he run around like a headless fly?
Anyway, except for the west side of the army led by Woolf Esbrand and Sakara, there were Bossa coalition soldiers running around everywhere in the other three directions, which gave Woolf Esbrand a headache...
At this time, Sakara reacted and suggested:
"Or what if we can give them some advice and let them run north?"
"How to give me some advice?"
"Call to say..."
"All right……"
Then, a strange scene appeared on the battlefield - a group of soldiers from the main force of the Principality of the Schleswig with spears, shouting loudly while driving away the civilians of the Bossa coalition with their spears:
"Escape north! Yes, go north! If you run wrong, I will stab you to death..."
Of course, they were not just talking, but really stabbing people. Some Min Zhuang, who were like headless flies, were stabbed to the ground on the spot because they did not flee north according to the command, and let out a burst of tragic howlings and blood was scattered all over the floor...
