King of German Mercenaries

After returning to the Harlingen Allied Forces Camp, Ji Kidd reported the results to the 9-member parliament temporarily stationed here, which shocked several noble members.

"Is there a large-caliber artillery on Texel? Kid, are you kidding me?" Baron Zetter looked disbelieved.

You know, the small islands of Texel Island have killed thousands of people. The Republic of Friesland has a much larger area (about 6,300 square kilometers) and a population of more than 200,000.

However, the Friesland aristocratic republic does not have a lot of artillery. Most of them were provided by France, a foundry power. The largest caliber is only 6 pounds. The Texel Island in the projectile land has a larger caliber, making Baron Zetter unwilling to believe it.

"If you don't believe me, you can go to the dock and follow me to the" Viking "wounded by heavy enemy artillery ..."

Several parliamentarians are reluctant to believe that the artillery is more powerful than Texel Island. As a result, several people went to the pier together under the protection of the knights of each of the inner governments, and boarded the wounded "Viking" Kirk sailing ship ...

"Master Zetter, you see, this is the pit that was hit by the opponent's shell ..." Kidd pointed, and a crater on the side appeared in front of everyone ...

The Governor-General Fyskefrijheid, who was also the Baron of Groningen, appeared in front of the crater and gestured with his hand ...

Baron Groningen is the most powerful force in the aristocratic republic of Friesland, because Groningen is a Hanseatic city with more commercial taxes, which makes Fyskefrijheid's economic strength the strongest in the Republic.

Therefore, the soldiers under Fyskefrijheid have the highest armor rate. At the same time, the two largest warships were also from Groningen.

Fyskefrijheid has visited the warship and the artillery on the ship many times because he has two ships with a displacement of one hundred and dozens of tons. Therefore, he is more sensitive to the caliber of the artillery ...

"His ... a big caliber, and it is really better than the 6-pound gun on my ship ... maybe ... this is a 12-pound gun ..." Fyskefrijheid silently estimated in his heart for a while and said uncertainly ...

"12 pounds? Isn't it twice as heavy as the shell of our largest artillery? It really is a large caliber ..." Here, the nine big guys, Fyskefrijheid, are the most proficient in artillery. He said so, and others no longer doubt it.

"Kid, how many heavy artillery guns does the other side have?" Baron Zetter asked with a dismayed face. If he can't capture Texel, he won't be able to get out in a single breath, and he won't be able to grab his own fishermen.

"Eight gates, although not much to watch, but if we show strength together, our several warships cannot be suppressed ..."

"Don't we have 40 guns? How can we not hit 8 guns?" Asked layman Gisent.

"Mr. Senator, although we have 40 artillery pieces, most of them are small guns of two or three pounds. They have a short range and low power. Moreover, we can only use one side of the artillery to attack during the artillery battle. The artillery was put into battle. Although the opponent only had 8 guns, they were all heavy artillery, which was very powerful and could easily damage the warship. Our small artillery could not destroy the turret, so ... "

既然 "Since the artillery cannot overwhelm the opponent, so, Kidd, you pass me the order and temporarily give up the artillery, and try a forced landing in Thollencher. Remember, just try, don't bet everything ..."

"Yes, Lord Governor!"

When Kidd returned, he conveyed the order. At the same time, a large number of fishing boats requisitioned from the sea by the aristocratic republic of Friesland, carrying a group of spearmen, staring at the shore guns of Tholencher, began to forcibly land ...

A total of 300 "dead men" who forcibly landed. They rode on a small fishing boat that had been forcibly recruited and scattered to begin a forcible landing in Tholencher.

But coastal defense guns are not vegetarian. Halfway through, several landing fishing vessels were directly sunk by 12-pound shells. The side of a fishing boat is inherently thin, and it is not resistant at all. Therefore, I couldn't carry it when I was hit by a 12-pound iron ball.

最终 But in the end, 180 people successfully landed and launched a decisive attack on the town of Tholencher. But that wasn't very useful ... because, Frenzberger mobilized 100 muskets and waited ...

Then, after a crackle-like fried bean-like gunshot, the 180 Frisian warriors who forcibly landed basically lay down ...

Among these 180 people, 75 of them are two-handed swordsmen wearing half-length breastplates and helmets. This arm is generally an important elite force for decisive assault on the battlefield.

Generally speaking, under the shock of the death of 75 two-handed swordsmen, ordinary cold weapon battles can easily be torn open. The most unsatisfactory will also enable the Frisian army to gain a foothold on the dock, allowing subsequent troops to continue to log in.

However, today they encountered a lineup of guns, and they were lined up with Muskite guns using 50 grams of super heavy projectiles ...

When 75 two-handed swordsmen bravely wielded the German two-handed big sword and rushed forward, Fronzberg commanded 100 musketeers and 33 professionally loaded fillers, and began to stand near the wall near the pier. Let ’s greet them with a rifle ...

Fifty grams of projectiles smashed at subsonic speed, so that the Frisian two-handed swordsmen wearing plate armor did not respond, they were smashed back by the powerful impact. What's more, when the Frisian two-handed swordsmen rushed to the wall near the dock, many Frisian two-handed swordsmen were directly smashed by 50 grams of projectiles and flew back ...

The plate armor with excellent protection in front of the cold weapon infantry, in front of the large musket, is no different from paper. Therefore, as long as the projectile hits the body, there will be no Frisian soldiers without injuries.

The only thing to consider is the shooting rate of the musket. When Frislan's two-handed swordsman was a hundred meters away, the firing rate of the musket was very low. Waiting for dozens of meters, it was just a name slaughter.

If it was on flat ground, the brave Frisian infantry might be able to approach the musketeers by bravery, making the rifle useless.

However, now that Texel's army is defending, they can stand behind the tall fence and use muskets more leisurely. Beside them were a group of infantrymen with spears and hammers. Whenever an enemy wants to climb up the wall and hurt these musketeers ~ www.readwn.com ~ the infantry on the side will use a spear or hammer to smash the enemy down the wall to ensure the safety of the musketeers.

Therefore, when the musketeer is on a favorable terrain such as the city wall, as long as his own survival and the continuation of the firepower are guaranteed, the lethality is doubled ...

This is like the "Siege of WYN" in 1529. The Austrians only used 74 fire rope guns. After the Turks blasted the gap in the WYN city wall, they used a rifle to bomb the Turks who tried to break into the gap. With the security of WYN, the arrival of reinforcements ... After the campaign, the Turks learned the lessons, studied Europe, and produced a good quality "Lu Miyu" and spread it to Daming ...

Squinting at the 300 fighters, the warrior-like warriors were instantly damaged on the pier and near the pier. The officers of the Frisian Army were very unsightly.

It also made them realize that Thollencher's defense is very tight. Not only the powerful counterattack force brought by the heavy artillery, but also the counterattack force on the ground against the approaching infantry.

Before the encounter, Marinho threw tens of thousands of gold coins and surrounded the islands of Denborg and Tholencher with tall walls, which greatly facilitated the defense.

Had Holtcher had no tall wall, once the Frisian two-handed swordsmen approached, the Musketeers would become the mustards of these elite infantry.

Fortunately, Tholencher has a tall wall that is as small as a city wall. Musketeers can leisurely stand on the wall and open fire below, hitting the "hard bones" wearing plate armor, which makes Frisian sharp and heavy.
