Chapter 807: How could this be?

Schwartz gave up the march because of the difficulty of the army, and gave up on the rainy day to continue the march, but Bonitz did not. Although it is relatively slippery on a rainy day, it is also on a rainy day that the musket does not work. Therefore, Bonitz ordered the army to attack the city in the rain.

In order to prevent slip, Bonitz ordered the Gedesi army to wrap all the siege ladders with cloth strips. In this way, the ladder plate will not become slippery due to moisture.

When ready, the army of Gede Division under the command of Marshal Bonitz opened up and began to attack the city ...

"What? The Geddes army is going to attack the city?" Kevin, the commander of the defending defensive, was taken aback. Originally, Kevin thought that under such heavy rain, the Geddes army would rest. However, Kevin quickly thought of the reason-probably, the other party thought that it would not be necessary to use his musket on a rainy day ...

"Oh, let you often use our muskets on rainy days!" Kevin smiled and summoned his subordinates to let them carry some wooden sheds to the city ...

Kevin is the captain of the Musketeers of the North Sea State and holds the title of Knight. Moreover, in the battle of Lübeck City, Kevin was the person who experienced it. Therefore, in the face of the enemy's offensive, he did not panic.

In fact, Kevin had already prepared some small wooden sheds that could be easily moved for rainy days. In the previous offensive and defensive battle in Lübeck City, Marin used an active shooting shed to allow the East Frisian army to continue shooting down the city heads on rainy days.

Of course, the kind of shooting shed for rainy days that Marin made is different from the shooting shed Kevin is now engaged in. Because in Lübeck's defense battle, the musketeers in the East Frisian army at that time still used the musket guns, and they were afraid of rain. Therefore, the shooting shed used by Marin in Lübeck is elongated, and even has flash edges protruding at the front, just to prevent rain from wetting the fire rope.

But now the musketeers guarding the Parson Concentration Camp use a clockwork musket. This kind of musket is not afraid of rain. Therefore, there is no need to use the long shooting canopy.

However, this does not mean that the clockwork lighter does not need to be protected from rain. A clockwork lighter is not afraid of rain, which means that it is not afraid of rain when shooting after the reloading is completed. Because after the reloading, the gunpowder was sealed, and it was not in contact with the outside world, even if it rained, the gunpowder could not be covered. However, when loading the ammunition, the clockwork lighter still has to avoid rain.

Therefore, Kevin made a small rain canopy and placed it on the city wall. Musketeers who use a clockwork musket, after shooting rain at the battlement mouth, will retreat to the small canopy behind, avoid the rain, complete the reload, and then return to the battlement mouth to complete the aiming shooting at the enemy ...

...

Thanks to the longer preparation time of the Gedesi army before the attack on the city, the Musketeers of the North Sea State moved the rain canopy to the city wall in time. When the Gedesi army began to attack the city, the Musketeers of the North Sea State were ready ...

Because there are no rubber raincoats, the musketeers in Beihai are wearing thatched straw clothes. This thing was naturally made by Marin. The grass is braided with straw. Although it is bulky and not as rainproof as a rubber raincoat, it is better than nothing. Moreover, the raincoat made of grass on the boat on a rainy day, after the rain, the defense of the raincoat is also very strong. For example, the raincoat after the rain, to a certain extent, can greatly reduce the damage of bows and arrows ...

...

"Begin to attack the city--" Under the city, the commander of the Gede Division army commander Bonitz waved his hand with a big wave. Then, in addition to the Musketeers, the Gedesi army carried the siege ladder against the city wall with tsunami ...

However, when the first batch of Geddes infantry climbing the wall climbed halfway on the siege ladder, a row of barrels suddenly appeared on the city head ...

"What are they doing? Can their guns be used in rainy days?"

Marshal Bonitz watched the battle under the city for a while ...

But soon, Marshal Bonitz ’s doubts were solved—

"Bang—Bang—Bang—Bang ...” A clear and loud gunshot came from the city's head, and with the gunshot, it was natural that the Gedesi wall-climbing infantry screamed ... Half of the Gedesi infantry, like dumplings, fell off the siege ladder ...

"This ... this ... how could this be?" Marshal Bonitz was stupid ...

In Bonitz's impression, the muskets are afraid of rain. Because the gunpowder is damp, it won't sound ...

However, he did not know that the clockwork lighter equipped by Marin's army could be shot on rainy days. This is mainly because, although Marin began to promote the clockwork lighter, he never told anyone that the clockwork lighter could shoot on rainy days. Therefore, although Bonitz also knows that the Beihai state has a clockwork flare gun, he does not know that the clockwork flare gun can shoot on rainy days. Therefore, when the gunshot of the city head sounded, he was just stupid ...

And the consequence of the coach's stupidity is-a large group of shots of the Gedsi infantry lying under the city ...

It was not until the Beihai State Musketeers at the head of the city repelled several offensives from the Gedsi infantry that Marshal Bonitz responded:

"Retreat, for now!" Bonitz shouted. Immediately afterwards, the sound of a bugle ordered to retreat sounded on the battlefield.

Hearing the command of the retreating horn, the soldiers of the Geddes army also breathed a sigh of relief. Today this is too evil. Not only is Marshal Bonitz ignorant, most of the generals of Geddes are stupid by this rainy day, and their morale is extremely low. If you hit it hard, you won't get better. Hearing the retreat of the trumpet, everyone evacuated as quickly as Amnesty ...

Back in Daying, Marshal Bonitz was still mumbling:

"How can this be? How can this be? How can this be ..."

After thinking for a long time, Marshal Bonitz ’s lieutenant, Taosk, expressed his opinion:

"Marshal, I estimate that this may be a new type of clockwork lighter invented by Beihai State! Otherwise, there will be no rain protection effect!"

"What?" Marshal Bonitz almost jumped up in shock:

"You mean, it is the army of Marin from the North Sea country that is defending the city?" Bonitz accidentally guessed the truth ...

But Taosk shook his head and said:

"Not necessarily Marin's army ~ www.novelhall.com ~ It is also possible that Marin sold this new type of musket to the Habsburg family!"

"How can he do this? Isn't this the pit of our Duke?" Marshal Bonitz said angrily.

After thinking about it, Taosk said:

"It may not be sold now. It may have been sold before he reached an agreement with the Duke. You do n’t forget that Marin was a running dog of His Majesty the Emperor. At that time, it was normal to sell a new musket to the Habsburg family ... … "

Marshal Bonitz nodded bitterly, and then looked sadly:

"I understand, but, in this way, it hurts us! The other party's firepower is so fierce, how can we win Parsons?"

Taosk thought for a while, and suddenly a poison scheme came to mind:

"Otherwise, let's go around and grab some young natives from the Netherlands, and force them to climb up the city wall with their weapons in front?"

"Is this useful?" Marshal Bonitz didn't think some of the young men who were temporarily caught could attack the city walls.

Taosk shook his head and said:

"I hadn't expected them to hit the walls, I just hoped that they would consume some of their opponent's ammunition. The opponent's ammunition is definitely limited, so that the Dutch can climb the wall and receive bullets, and they can also consume the enemy's ammunition. When the ammunition was depleted, the musketeer was useless. By then, weren't we just taking the fortress casually? "Said Tausk with an evil smile.

When Marshal Bonitz thought about it, it really was-European gunpowder is scarce and precious at the moment. If you use the captured Netherland young and powerful to consume the opponent's ammunition, it is really a good strategy. Although a bit vicious, but in order to win and reduce the casualties of the local soldiers, let him ... Anyway, it is not the Gedsi who died ...
