Chapter 99： Login

After half a month of cleaning, all the merchant ships from Vejle to Zeeland were robbed by the combined fleet, and the fishing boats were scared to go out. In this case, the time to land is ripe ...

According to the reconnaissance of the fleet, it was discovered that in the direction of Zeeland facing Vejle, there was a small coastal town called Kailongbao, which was also an important port in the northwest of Zeeland. So close and so convenient, the coalition forces naturally chose to put the landing site here.

To this end, the coalition forces dispatched 120 ships to transport large troops. Of the 120 ships, 30 are clearly merchant ships snatched from the Danes.

Under the **** of 50 warships, another 40 warships and 30 Danish merchant ships began transportation. Because a lot of people, horses and artillery have to be transported, the transportation pressure is still quite high.

Moreover, for the safety of the supply line, Marin also specially left the 2000 East Frisian regular army to protect the city of Vejle and prevent the army from being taken away by the remaining Danish troops on the Jutland Peninsula.

Because it has no effect in the siege warfare, there are 1,000 people in the 2000 army guarding Vejle, which is the Lancers recruited from the Teutonic Kingdom.

There are 2,000 troops in the remnants of the Jutland Peninsula, and it is certain that it will not beat Vejle. Even if they want to cut off the supply line of the coalition forces, they have to ask the 1,000 martial arts cavalry who are happy and unwilling.

Another more than 27,000 troops took a boat in batches and landed from Kailongbao Port ...

Speaking of the defenders of Kalundborg, they also succumbed because there were only 200 defenders in the city. Although they saw a large number of enemy troops landing, they could only watch and dared not to attack the city. Because the disparity in strength is too great ...

The first batch of coalition troops landed, there were 1,000 soldiers, including some cavalry. The soldiers of Kailongbao were all killed, and they could not beat the first soldiers who landed. Even the messengers sent by Kronborg for help were intercepted by the first cavalry who landed.

In desperation, the defenders of Kalundborg could only watch as the coalition forces leisurely landed, lined up, and distributed supplies at Kalundborg port.

After Marin landed with artillery troops, the good days of Kalundborg came to an end ...

Kalundborg is after all an important foothold and an important link on the supply line. So, after the heavy artillery was pulled up, Marin commanded the army to bombard the city gate ...

Moreover, because of the proximity to the sea, this time Marin removed 10 long-barreled heavy guns directly from the East Frisian battleship that came to escort. The shells had a higher initial velocity and more power ...

Under the joint bombardment of dozens of short-barreled heavy artillery and ten long-barreled heavy artillery, the gate of Kailongbao quickly collapsed. Yes, it collapsed, and it was useless for the blasting team.

The armies swarmed up and soon subdued the city defenders who had been scared for a long time ...

Next, Marin ordered the army to repair it. At the same time, he sent two hundred scouts, one with two horses, and attacked everywhere, specifically intercepting any locals riding horses heading towards Copenhagen.

Unexpectedly, until the army set off the next day, the locals failed to send the information to Copenhagen.

And at this time, the Danish monarch is completely replacing the big iron gate in Copenhagen ...

Through the joint efforts of the blacksmiths in Copenhagen, the Danes made thick and heavy cast iron gates. However, this city gate is very difficult to move. Generally speaking, the mold is cut near the city gate and then cast on site. After that, a large number of people were dispatched to erect the cast iron gate and install it in the gate cave.

Copenhagen craftsmen are also smart. They use the principle of levers and moving pulleys to successfully transport several tons of cast iron gates into the city gate hole and install them.

After, the Danes conducted many tests, first bombarding with artillery from the French and then burying gunpowder barrels to explode. As a result, the cast iron gates were not moving, but the masonry on the walls was blown up a lot.

After the test was successful, the Danish King Hans was very satisfied with the underground order-he also replaced all other gates with all cast iron gates to avoid possible enemy siege when the gates were destroyed by the enemy.

As for the city walls, the Danish ministers are not worried. Because Copenhagen is the first stronghold in Northern Europe. Although it is located by the sea, it has never been captured. Even if the Hanseatic League defeated the Danish fleet that year, they failed to conquer Copenhagen. Otherwise, Denmark is long over.

Along the way, Marin's army progressed very smoothly. Along the Roman avenue built by the Danes themselves, the army passed unimpeded. In fact, this is because the Danish King Hans, afraid of the joint fleet to attack Copenhagen, so all the knights and veterans on the Zealand Island were transferred to Copenhagen to help defend. So, halfway, Marin's army did not encounter any resistance.

Earlier, at the beginning of the war, Copenhagen only looked like 2,500 defenders. But after the dispatch of the Danish King Hans, there are now 7,000 defenders and 8,000 conscripts in Copenhagen. Most of the armed forces on the island of Zeeland have been gathered into the city of Copenhagen. Therefore, Marin's more than 27,000 troops did not encounter any decent resistance when marching.

Even in a relaxed mood, Marin also sent out troops and went to various towns and mansions on Zealand to rob food and property. Zealand is the Danish anyway. People are not distressed when they are robbed of Marin. They can also attack the economy of their opponents. Why not do it?

Before, during the attack on the Principality of Holstein and the Principality of Schleswig, Marin strictly forbids his people from robbing people because they will rule these areas in the future and they cannot offend the local people. However, the core island of Denmark, whether it is Marin, Lübeck and Hamburg, does not intend to win over the local people. Because they are doomed to be difficult. After all, this is the core area of ​​Denmark. So, since it is the core area of ​​the enemy, why should we restrain the military discipline and protect the local people who are destined to deal with it?

For the job of robbery, the mercenaries hired by Lübeck and Hamburg are the most enthusiastic, and even take the initiative to fight. Since they are willing to pull hatred, Marin has not stopped. However, they are required to carry the flag of the headquarters during the robbery. Moreover, it is necessary to give priority to the robbing of wealthy families such as the civic class, businessmen, and nobles who have status and rich family ...

And when Marin sent his men out to rob, he also took off the black cross and white vests and withdrew the East Frisian flag. When actually doing it, the flags of Lübeck and Hamburg are often displayed ...

Obviously, this is Malin's arrogance to blame and transfer hatred ...

Although the four-nation alliance and Denmark have completely torn their faces, the two sides are already intolerant. In the future, Denmark will definitely regard any country of the League of Four as the enemy of life and death.

However, even the enemy, there is a priority. In addition, public opinion is also very important. Ancient Europe is different from ancient China. In ancient China, people did not have the qualifications to discuss the imperial court. If they arbitrarily discuss the government, they would be easily killed. But in ancient Europe, the civic class (except the serf class) intervened in the discussion of Korean politics and mocked the king.

The civic class is a very special group. They have the right to elect local parliamentarians. They have influence on politics and have great courage. In 1480, the Grand Duchy of Moscow and the Akhmahan of the Golden Horde decided to fight. Ivan III quietly fled back to Moscow ~ www.novelhall.com ~ but was hurried back to the battlefield with a tough attitude by local parliamentarians and citizens of Moscow. This kind of thing was impossible in ancient China.

Therefore, in ancient Europe, the civic class had a great influence on the government's political phalanx. Marin let the mercenaries of Lübeck and Hamburg go under the banner of the two cities to rob the wealthy civic class, while also letting his men pretend to be mercenaries in the two cities, obviously helping the cities of Lübeck and Hamburg. Pull hatred.

Even when he arrived on Zealand, Marin relaxed the military discipline directly. Those mercenaries wanted to drag the beautiful Danish girl into the grove, and Marin no longer sent law enforcement teams to manage it. Of course, that was the mercenaries for Lübeck and Hamburg. For the East Frisian soldier wearing this black cross and white vest, Marin is strictly prohibited from doing so. At least, when wearing a conspicuous East Frisian white black cross waistcoat, you can never do such a thing.

Plus when the mercenaries were doing evil, Marin also specially asked them to carry the flags of the two cities. In this way, the Danish people on the island of Zeeland will hate the two Hanseatic cities of Lubeck and Hamburg very much. Although East Frisian Lambert was also hated, the priority was much lower.

In the future, even if Denmark rises again, when deciding which one to retaliate with, the citizens of Zealand will certainly not hesitate to suggest retaliation for Lübeck and Hamburg. Because they suffered the most from the two cities. The collective will of all citizens and wealthy nobles on Zeeland, even the king, must carefully consider ...

Of course, East Frisian Lambert can't please. However, at least in the second and third hatreds, there will be no priority for revenge by the Danes. In this way, Marin has enough reaction time to mobilize soldiers and horses to go around with the Danes ...
