Hessian mercenaries does not mean that all mercenaries come from the Principality of Hesse-Kassel. It refers to all mercenary countries that adopt the mercenary model of the Principality of Hesse-Kassel. Although Hesse-Kassel

The principality’s mercenary exports account for 80% of the Hessian mercenaries. So what is the mercenary model of the Principality of Hesse-Kassel?

The so-called mercenaries are usually paid by others, but the Hessian mercenaries are simply a strange thing in the mercenary world. Because the mercenary fee for their employment does not fall into their pockets, but into their pockets.

They fell into the hands of their Duke of Hesse, completely, and the money they received every month could only maintain one person's basic food and clothing.

There is no doubt that the Duke of Hesse-Kassel will be one of the most blatant and prolific people in this century. You must know that the cost of Hessian mercenaries is not low every time they send troops. The Austrians sealed the throne in Poland

King war hire 800

0 people spent 1 million thalers of silver coins at one time. What does 1 million thalers represent? It is equivalent to us robbing 14 West Saxony. It is said that the Hessian mercenaries earned nearly 1,000 for Hesse-Kassel in the Polish King's War.

Thousands of talers.

I have heard before that the Hessian mercenaries were also beholden to Washington, the often defeated American general. It is said that his greatest victory was when he crossed the Delaware River on Christmas Eve in 1776 and successfully attacked the troops stationed on the other side.

Hessian mercenaries. 900 of the 1,400 mercenaries who participated in the battle were captured.

Isn't it just that I was caught off guard? This was used to a bad extent in China, but here in Western Europe, it was promoted to a historical position similar to Zhou Yu's defeat of Cao Cao in Chibi. But this is also conceivable, black

How bad are the forest mercenaries? The troops used by the British in the American War of Independence were regular red shirts, small groups of Indian armed forces, local troops composed of colonial loyalists, and troops from Hesse-Kassel and

Mercenaries from other German regions.

The Battle of Saratoga. The British army consisted of 2 12-pounders, 6 6-pounders, and 2 cannons. They attacked the American militia. The artillery strength of this British army was basically equivalent to that of the 33rd Spartan Army.

Half of the legion was lost, but the result was a day of fierce fighting. The British army suffered 600 casualties and the American army suffered 300 casualties. 5,800 mercenaries and British soldiers became prisoners according to the "Treaty of Saratoga." The British army was in four colonies.

One-third of the troops were lost like this. What is even more funny is that the total number of Hessian mercenaries who participated in the American War of Independence was about 30,000. 17,000 Hessian soldiers returned to their hometowns after the war. 13,000 did not go back.

About 7,000 Hessian soldiers died in foreign lands. However, only 1,000 were killed in action, and the other 6,000 died of illness or accidents.

The way Hessian mercenaries are paid determines that they can only be a bunch of scum, and they did not perform much better in their previous lives. The same is true here. Anyway, these brothers were often seen in the Polish King's War. It's just that

They usually play the role of being defeated.

From five o'clock in the morning, it was turned off until 7:30, and then it was turned on again.

The 12-pounder gun combined with the 8-pounder gun suppressed the Hessian mercenary camp in the northeast of the Prussian rebel camp. The Hessian mercenaries of the 4 infantry regiments only had 2 artillery companies, and they were equipped with cheap 3-pound infantry cannons.

It can't reach us at all.

At 8 o'clock in the morning, the bugle of the attack sounded. The 4 infantry battalions of the 33rd Spartan Legion and two infantry regiments formed a column formation in the center and left wing. The artillery companies of the two infantry regiments were headed by Leon Komnenos.

The commander, Morris, led three infantry battalions on the right wing, and Hippias led all the infantry battalions of Hitler's regiment in the rear.

The 6-pounder gun fired at a distance of 500 meters, suppressing the Hessian mercenaries behind the simple fortifications so that they could not raise their heads. When we got closer to about 120 meters, the Hessian mercenaries behind the fortifications took the lead in opening fire.

Only a fool would shoot at a group of people with fortifications as obstacles. Leon Komnenos decisively charged when the Hessians had run out of bullets and were reloading.

"Let our infantry artillery keep up, order the 12-pounder artillery to stop the close range bombardment, and let them extend their fire to attack the enemy's second line of defense."

The Hessian mercenaries held on to the first fortification line for less than ten minutes before retreating. At this time, Hippias took over the gap from Leon Komnenos' infantry charge, allowing Hitler's regiment to crush the Hessians.

The mercenaries chased after them. Leon Komnenos took advantage of this situation to reorganize his team and prepare to launch another round of offensive.

I immediately moved the reinforcements of 2 infantry regiments, totaling 3,400 men, to the rear of the first line of defense, always ready for Constans to go up and replenish them, and then put the telescope on Hippias.

Hippias and the group of supervisors of the 33rd Spartan Legion learned the German words "Charge, go up, retreat or die" and "No escape or continue to charge" in so many days. So far,

The mustachioed scumbags seemed to be possessed by Hitler. They rushed dozens of meters at lightning speed and occupied several high ground. When the Hessian mercenaries wanted to shoot at them, they raised their bayonets without saying a word.

Rush forward.

Today's first wave of offensive has gone very smoothly so far. The Prussians who form the center of the rebel camp have been frightened by the Austrians and are temporarily unable to move. So until this moment, our 33rd Spartan Legion has only 10,000 men.

The strength of the troops is to fight 6,000 Hessian mercenaries. Of course, on the front line, we cannot put all the soldiers out. At most, 3,000 can fight more than 1,000 people.

The Prussians were under heavy artillery fire and filled with smoke. The 4,000 Swedes they were targeting had almost twice the strength advantage, and the power of their artillery was not inferior to that of their opponents. However, the Prussians did not directly attack them like our 33rd Spartan Legion.

After picking up the bayonet, he went up to engage in hand-to-hand combat. Instead, he stood 100-120 meters outside and exchanged fire with the Swedes.

Prussia did not spare its troops at such a critical moment.

Prince Dessau and Schwerin told us that the situation in Prussia is quite special. Because they use very severe corporal punishment, during the shooting process, when the lines are still intact, the officers can maintain the morale of the troops to a greater extent.

But once a charge is launched, if they fail to win, then the Prussian infantry will be in tragedy. Therefore, they can shoot as they like.

At 8:45, the Hessian mercenaries were in trouble. It seemed that they had just killed or injured three or four hundred people. The mustache scumbag had killed hundreds of people and still had a great time, so labor was exploited.

I really can’t do anything that is the fruit of the people’s labor.

Just when I was about to order the second line of infantry to rush away from this group of Hessian mercenaries, the Saxons arrived.

Uh, I forgot these guys existed.

There is no way, they have no sense of existence.

But what can a group of new soldiers do? Just as I was about to order Constans to send two infantry battalions up to blast this group of Saxons who had turned every column into skirmishers, Maurice appeared.

This bald man must have really traveled to the Shaolin Temple in Songshan Mountain. He picked up a dead man with only half of his body left in his left hand, and a half-meter-long stick as thick as his thigh in his right hand, and led an infantry company to kill him. Half of his body was covered with body parts.

Bloody, with a face so ferocious that he could be a scary bit player in a Hollywood horror movie without any makeup.

"Is he like this in Poland?" I asked Constans.

Constans complained: "Fortunately, he calls this a violent aesthetic that combines the style of Nordic berserkers and the mad Celtics of England."

Morris describes this convulsive behavior as an aesthetic of violence?

"It seems like the Celtics' berserker style of play involves stripping off all your clothes and then painting your whole body blue. Does Morris have to do the same?"

"Of course not. He is a civilized man after all. He can just dye himself red with blood. Well, he said so himself." Constans replied.

"Oh, it's okay. If he takes off his clothes while being beaten, I'd better let the infantry line at the rear take over for him."

In the first 30 minutes of the battle in the blockbuster movie "The Patriot", the scene where the American infantry fired two rounds at the Red Shirts and then was defeated by the cavalry was staged here through time and space.

Only the red shirts were replaced by the purple shirts of the 33rd Spartan Legion, while the embarrassed Medite militia became the victims and Saxon recruits who were exploited by the largest army in this century.

I watched these people rush towards the third line of defense that had dispersed their own people and rushed towards the Prussians, and I breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that my judgment was correct. 6,000 Hessian mercenaries

It's just soy sauce. The fighting strength of 6,000 people is at most 2,000. If four or five hundred people die, the whole army will be defeated. Not to mention the Saxons, those new soldiers probably didn't even fire a musket a month ago.

The 33rd Spartan Legion, the most powerful superior horse of our Prussian Royalists, faced off against the Hessian mercenaries and the Saxons, the two inferior inferior horses, and defeated them in just over an hour.

Well. The current offensive battle is an unfair horse race. The 33rd Spartan Legion is my ace, and it is also a top-grade horse. The Prussians are better than the Austrians, with medium-grade horses, and the Austrians are inferior horses.

On the enemy side, except the Hessian mercenaries

The Saxons and Prussians were not much better. Just think about the disastrous defeat faced by Mustache after Stalin purged the Red Army. The only high-grade horse that the enemy coalition forces could fight, the King of Sweden, had been held back by the Prussians.

Live, it's hard not to lose.

"It would be great if we could surround and annihilate all these people here." Unfortunately, this can't be done. Prussia, which has the largest number of people, has maintained its basic organization. And what we are playing is attacking fortifications. You must know that the 33rd

The Bada Army only has 10,000 people. I have used 4,000 of them to attack the enemy, and the remaining 60

Of the 00 people, 4,000 are to be used as reserves, so only 2,000 people can be used for siege. The camp where 20,000 people of the rebel coalition live is so large, how can 2,000 people block all the intersections. So these people

Even if it was a disastrous defeat, the number of people who escaped was still impressive.

"As long as you can win, don't be too greedy." Constans said.

"That's right. Send up another infantry regiment, artillery, and advance 300 meters. Even if the Prussians have to guard against the Austrians, the current situation no longer allows them to acquiesce in the war situation on both wings getting worse and worse.

.We are ready to meet the Prussians, and then wait for victory."

If nothing else happens.

But the problem is that planning is always like stepping on the thread of a tricycle. No matter how fast you change, you can't keep up with the change of a rich and handsome guy who drives a Ferrari sports car.

The Austrians sent troops.

My day!

Constans: "Fuck him!!! What now?"
Chapter completed!
