Christina dared to boast, relying on a small number of troops to resist bayazid Khan''s raid on the wharf, in addition to her confidence in the combat power of the mercenary regiment, the biggest reliance was the carriage carried by the mercenary regiment.


    These carriages are not ordinary freight carriages, but specially made - they are refitted from four-wheel farm carts common in Poland and Ukraine, and the side plates and wheels of the chariot are equipped with solid iron clad and removable planks. At the top of the vehicle, there is also a retractable defense guard plate, which can be put away to protect against the wind and rain. When it is put down in battle, a defense guard plate higher than the body is formed. Four triangular holes were drilled in the wood of the car body, and the shooter can safely hide behind and shoot with a fire gun. There is also a narrow door for passengers to get on and off the guard board in the inward direction of the carriage, and a special long wooden board can be installed under the chariot in battle to prevent opponents from climbing from below. When dozens of such carriages are connected together, it is like a wooden wall.


    Of course, such ingenious designs do not come from Christina''s creation. They have prototypes. The prototypes of these carriages are the HUS chariots that once shine in the HUS war and make the Holy Roman Empire lose troops.


    The mercenary regiment has more than 40 such carriages. Christina ordered people to fix each car with iron chains, and then block the gap between the iron chains with long gunmen or planks with wheels.


    All the soldiers are working hard. Some soldiers used shovels and hoes to dig thickened earth bases and sandbags around the vehicle to defend against shelling and protect the wheels and body. Although Christina did not think that bayazid Khan had large caliber guns that could threaten chariots, it was necessary to be prepared.


    Other soldiers kept fetching buckets of water from the sea. They put buckets between the wheels and behind the carriage to put out the fire.


    All the pack horses were driven to the beach and surrounded by ropes.


    After arranging all this, Christina stood on the carriage under Colson''s escort to meet the attack that might come at any time.


    In the darkness came the sound of horses'' hoofs and people''s whistling, followed by a dense sound of sharp arrows breaking through the air.


    "Your Highness, be careful!"


    As soon as Carlson pressed Christina''s shoulder, they hid their bodies behind the fender of the carriage.


    There was a sound of metal impact through the baffle in front of him, and some arrows even shot into the carriage.


    "Ready!"


    Cried Colson.


    Mercenaries entered the space with guns.


    Each carriage is equipped with about 12 infantry to operate and cooperate. Including six Musketeers, four long gunners, sword and shield soldiers and two gunners.


    This is also the HUS car base strategy derived from young Jessica. In Yang jesska''s hedtine military order, he configured the HUS chariot as follows: each chariot has 10-20 people, including 2 horse drivers, 2 Musketeers, 2-4 crossbow players, 4 flail players, 4 halberd players and 4 shield players.


    Of course, this set of tactics was more than 200 years ago. At that time, the firearms were not as advanced as they are now, so the chariot was also equipped with crossbows and more than half of the close combat soldiers. Now, Christina keeps pace with the times and simplifies it accordingly.


    The Tatar cavalry rushed towards the dock.


    The tactics of Crimean Tatars are still the same as those of their ancestors Mongols centuries ago. Heavy cavalry is the backbone of assault, while light cavalry is harassed with bows and arrows.


    When the heavy cavalry wearing long metal plate chain armor or small metal plate chain armor and Tatar helmets saw the chariot wall standing in front of them, they were at a loss. Some of them had seen the Cossack''s wagon fortress tactics when fighting with the Cossacks in zaporoze, but compared with the Cossack''s crude carriage, the chariot in front of them was undoubtedly taller and stronger, and the long gun stretched out behind the carriage was undoubtedly more dangerous.


    The mercenaries would not give up the attack because of the enemy''s stupidity. They pulled the trigger at the same time with Colson''s order.


    For a moment, the sound of gunfire, the neighing of war horses and the scream of people became one. At such a close distance, even plate armor can''t give people safe protection, not to mention the inferior plate chain armor. Tatar heavy cavalry were shot and fell off their horses, laying a layer of human and horse bodies around the carriage.


    Some lucky tartar cavalry retreated into the darkness.


    If yelisi''s cavalry were there, the enemy''s attack would be frustrated and suffered heavy losses. The carriage would instantly change its formation. The cavalry would lead the infantry out of the gap of the chariot, launch a counter charge against the enemy under the cover of artillery, or cooperate with the infantry to encircle the enemy''s flank and intercept the retreating enemy. But because there are only infantry, the mercenary regiment can only defend passively.


    Of course, it is still a matter of great pride that only one volley repulsed the Tatars'' charge. Some Hessian mercenaries who had never fought with the Crimean Tatars were somewhat proud and belittled the enemy.


    "Load up! The enemy won''t be defeated just once. They will attack," corzon scolded and ordered the soldiers in time.


    "It''s all right, sir. I don''t think the Tatars dare attack again until dawn." a freckled Hessian mercenary stood up on the chariot to load the musket and exposed his head and neck.


    Christina saw this and quickly ordered the soldier to squat down, but the soldier still didn''t care.


    Death caught the unfortunate man at this moment. A Tatar arrow came through the air and went through his unprotected neck.


    Tatars are natural archers. The Tatars in Ackerman who live by the sea have excellent eyesight because they often eat and apply fish oil. Many shooting Eagles can even see things at night.


    The arrow rain, which was more dense than before, fell from the air with the battle roar of unknown significance, and the carriage and the ground were immediately filled with arrows. Some of the arrows were rockets, and the Tatar commander obviously wanted to burn the carriage to destroy the mercenary regiment''s defense.


    "Put out the fire, put out the fire!" Colson shouted. He erected a steel shield in front of him and escorted Christina behind him.


    But Colson''s cry had little effect at this time, because the arrow rain was so dense that everyone was suppressed.


    Christina pushed corzon away from the guard in front of her. The queen is wearing black armor and is confident that these arrows will not hurt herself. Moreover, as a commander, she should set an example.


    "Come on, you guys, take the bucket and pour it on the carriage." Christina commanded calmly.


    Will be the courage of soldiers. Seeing the commander so, the mercenaries were brave. They picked up the buckets on the ground and put out the Rockets inserted in the carriage.


    During this period, Christina was blessed by God, but no arrow hurt her.


    The arrow rain finally stopped, and the second wave of Tatar attack was about to begin.
