The Rise of the European Emperor

On the night of May 16, it was just dark, and the 18,000 troops hidden in several small villages on the Elbe River had not yet been dispatched. Sauer sent 200 scout cavalry to intercept the messenger and another 300 light cavalry. Already set off early to start clearing any horse riders on the road along the way.

This time, the 18,000 reinforcements were going to attack the camp of the Allied Forces of Bursa. Therefore, the news must not be leaked. Therefore, Sauer's lieutenant General Loew's task is to take these 500 light cavalry, block the road to the east, and intercept anyone who rides eastward, whether it is the enemy's messenger or the innocent traveler...

Because, once the news of the sneak attack was known to the main force of the Bossa coalition in advance, these 18,000 people may be facing a well-prepared 50,000 elite enemy army. Not to mention the sneak attack, it would be a problem to be able to escape alive or not. Therefore, the key to this sneak attack is that confidentiality must be in place.

After all, as far as Marin knew, Frederick III, Elector of Saxony, was a wise man who attached great importance to intelligence work. Before, Sauer's scouts, through the binoculars, discovered many scouts of the Allied Forces of Bursa operating in various regions.

Moreover, what surprised Marin was that most of these scouts were wearing Saxon army uniforms. In other words, only the Saxon army pays more attention to intelligence inquiries. As for Joachim I, the bastard, he probably doesn't care much about intelligence.

If the opponent was just a simple-minded opponent like Joachim I, Marin probably wouldn't be so troublesome, just let Woolf Esbrand and Saqqara bring the army to attack at night. It's like now, in order to cover the real reinforcements, two fake reinforcements are actually brought in, in order to divert the other party's line of sight...

Facts have proved that Marin produced two fake reinforcements to divert each other's attention, which was very successful.

Just after half a day of completely defeating and capturing all the 10,000 fake reinforcements from Hamburg, the Bursa coalition forces basically withdrew all the scouts from the west of the camp. Because, after confirming that the reinforcements in the west were really fake reinforcements, even Frederick III did not think it was necessary to continue sending a large number of scouts to the west.

Now, the scouts of the Allied Forces of Bursa were all placed to the east to monitor the movements of Marin's army on the position. Especially, in case of Marin's night attack...

After all, Marin made his fortune by night raids. At first, the ambush of Charles VIII in the middle of the night was Marin's battle of fame. Today, Marin's bandit name on "The Road" is still a "despicable and shameless night raider"...

After withdrawing the scouts from the west, Frederick III simply ordered the hundreds of scouts under him to be divided into three shifts, and they were specially responsible for monitoring the movements of Marin's camp at night and preventing the night attack of Marin's army.

In this regard, Marin is also very helpless. Encountering such a cautious and cunning opponent, even if he wanted to attack at night, it would be difficult for him to succeed. Now, when Marin is in contact with the reinforcements in the west, he has to send his scouts to make a large circle from the north at night before heading west.

Fortunately, because the so-called "reinforcements" in the north were also eliminated by the Bosa coalition, the Saxon scouts in the north have also withdrawn. Otherwise, it would be very difficult for Marin to deliver a message.

During the day, for the life of Jim, the ace spy. Malin specially sent another spy, pretending to be a labor force, mixed with a large amount of vegetables and meat into the Bursa coalition camp, and made a gesture to Jim - to fight tonight, prepare to escape...

Otherwise, when the reinforcements from the west launched an attack, Frederick III, who was self-consciously fooled, might have pulled Jim and cut him off to vent his anger. After all, that was an ace spy, and Marin didn't seem to let him die.

In order to keep the reinforcements' actions secret, Marin also dispatched 500 lancers from the headquarters after the sky turned dark, and asked them to take off their armor, throw away their spears, and only carry sabers or cavalry swords, and go around to the west at night to help Intercept any Saxon scout.

These lancers are all from the wandering knights who wandered to the Teutonic Kingdom, and they can master all kinds of martial arts. Not only good at using lance, but also proficient in using saber and cavalry light sword,

Can be heavy cavalry, can also be competent light cavalry. As far as the combat effectiveness of the horse is concerned, it is much stronger than those of the scouts. After all, everyone has practiced fighting immediately since childhood. In terms of combat effectiveness on horseback, it surpassed those of the scout cavalry by a large margin. It would be more appropriate for them to be responsible for helping to intercept the scouts...

From the villages on the Elbe River to the west side of the Bosa coalition camp, it is less than 30 kilometers. The average army can only march 40 kilometers a day. At night, even if there is moonlight, it is not bad to be able to walk 20 kilometers.

That is, the army under Marin's command was strictly trained and had special training for overnight trips. Therefore, Marin estimated that the army of Woolf Esbrand and Saqqara would be able to arrive at the west side of the Bosa coalition camp at about 4:00 in the morning.

At that time, Marin's army will also take the opportunity to launch an attack, echoing the reinforcements that launched a surprise attack on the west side, and strive to defeat the Bursa coalition in one fell swoop and lay a victory.

However, after the incident of the 10,000 fake reinforcements sent by Hamburg captured by the Bursa coalition during the day, an unexpected situation occurred - the scouts sent by Marin discovered that the Bursa coalition had actually captured the 10,000 captured during the day. The strong people of Hamburg are all placed outside the west gate of the Allied Forces Camp in Bursa...

Because there are a full 10,000 people, the Bursa coalition forces built another simple camp with a capacity of tens of thousands of people outside the west gate of the original camp to accommodate these 10,000 prisoners of war.

This time, Marlin couldn't sit still...

why? This camp of 10,000 Hamburgers blocked the route of the reinforcements' night attack...

If you want to raid the main camp of the Bossa coalition from the west, you must pass through the camp of the Hamburg Minzong. But, that's 10,000 people... If you want to pass smoothly without disturbing the Bosa coalition camp, it is very difficult to do...

If the speed was a little slower when entering the camp of the Bossa coalition through the camp where those idiots were located, the Bosa coalition might have enough time to organize an interception. By then, the night attack may fail...

And if this night attack fails, then there will be no second chance to change the situation of the battle. After all, Frederick III was not an ordinary person and would never make the same mistake again...

Therefore, Marin must respond in time to avoid the failure of this raid...

Marin walked back and forth on the command ship. After thinking for a long time, he found Schwartz and ordered:

"Schwartz, order now, let the soldiers in front start filling the trenches with wooden boards. This time, we will attack first, launch a night attack, and attract the attention of the Allied Forces of Bosa!"

"You mean—we go first?" Schwartz asked hesitantly.

"Yes, let's go first!"

"However, with so many enemy scouts, our actions will definitely be discovered!"

"It's to let the enemy discover our actions and let them turn their attention to the east. At that time, they don't have the energy to pay attention to the situation in the west of the camp, and they create opportunities for Woolf and Saqqara!"

"Okay, so, when are we going to do it?" Schwartz asked with a sigh. He knew that this casualty would be inevitable. Because, even if an attack is launched at night, because the other party has defenses, it is equivalent to the front... and generally the front is the most casualty...

Marin thought for a while and said:

"As soon as Woolf and Saqqara's armies arrive, let's do it first, then wait until the enemy's attention is drawn to us before they both attack!"

"Okay, how do these two let us know that their troops have arrived?"

"Then let's set up a cannon battle... uh, no, the sound of the cannon battle will alarm the enemy. Let them put a few Kongming lanterns in the sky. At that time, our scouts will see the light with their binoculars. However, there must be a rope. The kongming lanterns on this side, after receiving the signal, also put the kongming lanterns into the sky. On the other side, put away the kongming lanterns with ropes to avoid attracting the attention of the enemy!"

"Also, after half an hour of our attack, they are attacking!" Marin thought for a while and added.

"Okay, I'll send scouts to deliver letters to them!"

"Well, get ready, before dawn, we have to fight for our lives!" After speaking, Marin went to the captain's room of the command ship to rest for a while. After all, the real time to play will still have to wait a few hours...
