Chapter 100： Night raid

Kalongbao to Copenhagen is only more than 90 kilometers, if Marin's army is in a hurry, it will definitely be able to arrive within two days. However, because Marin robbed soldiers on the island of Zeeland, and also specially hired mercenaries in Hamburg and Lübeck to blame those Danish citizens and noble squires, so a lot of time was wasted.

Is only more than 90 kilometers away, and the army froze for 6 days. At this time, in addition to the soldiers and food supplies, the coalition forces left the property stolen by a cart.

The mercenaries of these burgers and Lübeck were also ruthless. They not only robbed others of their gold and silver treasures and grain, but also grabbed the carriages that they used to transport the stolen goods.

Looking at the long caravan behind the big army, Marin's mouth twitched ...

To be honest, Marin was a little bit jealous when he saw that these **** had robbed so much property. A rough estimate is that the stolen property is worth more than one million gold coins.

Among them, about seven CDs were taken by mercenaries from Lübeck and Hamburg. Only 30% are owned by Marin. This is because Marin's army, after occupying each small town, went straight to the official bank and granary.

That is to say, Marin mainly annexed the Danish public property, while the mercenaries in Lubeck and Hamburg mainly robbed Danish civilians, businessmen and ordinary noble families. As for the big nobles and big businessmen ... well, it seems that they all live in Copenhagen ...

Of course, Marin issued a very strict military discipline, and it is strictly forbidden for the mercenaries of Lübeck and Hamburg to hide their belongings. Every time the robbery came back, Marin would register and pack the property stolen by each mercenary, and be under the sole care of the army.

Then, after the end of the war, the stolen property belongs to the parts of Lübeck and Hamburg. Marin will give half of the mercenaries responsible for the robbery and registration according to the principle of equal sharing. The other half is given to Lubeck and Hamburg officials. Although Lübeck and Hamburg are very rich in themselves, the number of robberies this time is too large. Even if they are evenly divided with the mercenaries, Lübeck and Hamburg will be divided into a huge wealth of 350,000 gold coins. With this amount of money, the huge investment in the war between the two cities can also pay a lot back.

Not to mention, Copenhagen, the richest city in the entire Kalmar Union, has not yet captured it. Once you have captured Copenhagen, grab another one ... Marin estimates that the value of the property that can be robbed in Copenhagen is definitely higher than it is now. Fortunately, Copenhagen is a port city. There are many ships in the joint fleet, and it is also convenient to transport stolen goods. Even better, the two Hanseatic commercial cities of Lübeck and Hamburg have many **** shops in their own right. They can professionally sell stolen goods and handle stolen goods. It is also very convenient ...

Because the robbery wasted too much time on the way, when the army arrived outside Copenhagen, the narrow and long sides of the Copenhagen Bay, the Danish sailors were already standing by.

It seems that the Danes have tasted the benefits of anti-bombardment in tunnels. Now, the banks at both ends of Copenhagen Bay are full of tunnels digging by the Danes, and they are densely distributed.

After Marin arrived with his army, he did not know that the Danes had dug. After all, through the telescope, Marin could not see anything wrong with the Danish position. So, he arranged soldiers and horses and launched a charge ...

As a result, in front of the N pits of the Danes, the coalition generals who rushed in front were naturally turned back. If it were not for timely rescue, the hundreds of soldiers who had fallen into the pit would be hard to escape. But even if Marin ordered rescue, hundreds of people were killed by Danish sailors in the tunnel.

Marin calmed down and temporarily stopped the attack on the Danish sailor position, but ordered the army to withdraw and then began camping.

In the night, Marin sent Sauer ’s scout troops, lurking in front of the Danish naval positions and approaching the reconnaissance. Then, the scouts were surprised to find that those Danish sailors ran out of the tunnel after dark, and went back to the camp to rest. Almost no one remained in the tunnel.

When Marin learned of the news, he could no longer sleep. So, in the middle of the night, he called Schwarz, Stadt and other East Frisian generals and ordered:

"Blow the emergency gathering post and gather the East Frisian veterans!"

East Frisian troops are strictly trained in accordance with Marin ’s requirements, so it is not uncommon to train at night to gather emergency whistle. The soldiers have basically been trained to march in the middle of the night or fight in the middle of the night.

Therefore, after the emergency assembly whistle blew, the 13,000 East Frisian veterans in the military barracks were dressed neatly in a short period of time and brought their equipment together outside the camp. The mercenaries in Lübeck and Hamburg, for a while, jumped around, thinking that the enemy had attacked at night and almost blew up the battalion.

As for the 5000 East Frisian recruits brought by Marin, the training time is still relatively short, especially if they did not specifically experience overnight combat training. Therefore, there were only one thousand East Frisian recruits who finally arrived.

For this, Marin did not blame the recruits. However, in a blink of an eye, Marin immediately dispatched officers to note down the 1,000 recruits who arrived in time and told him to focus on training in the future. These people can arrive in time without special training. They seem clever, and they can be trained as grassroots officers in the future. As for the unresponsive East Frisian recruits, unless they make meritorious deeds. Otherwise, the promotion order must be behind this thousand people ...

Seeing that the big camp in the big camp was rushing to fly because of the emergency meeting in the middle of the night, Marin couldn't see it anymore. Under his command, East Friesland assembled 14,000 troops, divided 4,000 people, took up arms, and went to deter the panicked Lübeck and Hamburg mercenaries to calm them down.

As for the other 10,000 veterans, Marin decided to split his troops and attack the Danish naval camps on both sides of Copenhagen Bay overnight.

The encounter during the day made Marin soberly realize that if the Danish sailors hid in the tunnel and launched the general attack, they could defeat the enemy, but they must have suffered a lot. Because, in front of the tunnels, the coalition forces could not be exerted at all. Once the formation was messed up, the young men under Marin's combat strength were not much better than the Danish sailors.

Because the East Frisian army relied on strict discipline and intensive battle formations to defeat the enemy. If the war is disintegrated by the tunnel, then the battle between the two sides is no different from the fight between the small and the mixed. As a result, the casualties of the East Frisian army will certainly be very large.

If the mercenaries of Lübeck and Hamburg are used to "fill the hole", it is not impossible. However, in this way, the casualties of Lübeck and Hamburg must be great.

If this is already the last battle, it is understandable to do so. But the crux of the matter is that this is not the last battle ...

There are thousands of Danish defenders in Copenhagen. If the loss is too great in the tunnel outside the city, it is even more difficult to go to Copenhagen, which is extremely strong.

Therefore, Marin was not happy to waste too much troops in the process of attacking the Danes. Upon hearing the information that the scouts said that the enemy had all retracted to rest in the camp on the flat ground in the middle of the night, Marin immediately ordered the emergency assembly without hesitation, intending to attack the enemy camp at night ...

Just like this, 10,000 East Frisian veterans, led by Marin and Schwartz, were divided into two ways, preparing to attack the Danish naval camps on both sides of Copenhagen Bay ...

Along the way, the East Frisian soldiers did not have a single torch, but relying on the faint starlight, under the guidance of more experienced scouts, quietly touched the Danish camp ...

Because it is a black march, the march is slower. When the army arrived outside the Danish camp, it was already more than 4 am. For another time, the sky will be brightened.

After a little adjustment, Marin decisively let his men ignite a group of matches. Then, Donny Ciri personally carried the gunpowder barrel and came to the front gate of the camp of the Danish sailors ...

Moreover, accompanied by Donnie Curry, it was another blasting team soldier carrying a barrel of butter ...

When Donnie Curry and his companions rushed to the camp gate, the scouts under Sauer had already used a crossbow to shoot the Danish sentry on the walled gate.

Although the noise disturbed the Danish soldiers in the camp, what Duny Curry wanted was that no one would interfere with them in a short time.

So, Donnie Curry ’s teammates first poured a barrel of butter on the wooden fence gate of the Danish naval camp. Then, Donnie Curry put down the gunpowder barrel, lit the fuze, and fled with his companions ...

Accompanied by a "bang-" explosion. Because there was no time to bury it deep, the Zhaimen did not explode. However, because butter was poured on the walled door in advance, the fire caught up quickly ...

Before the Danish sailors reacted, the camp of the big camp was swallowed up by everyone ...

After a while, Marin directly asked his spearmen to use a few meters long spear to push open the burnt camp door ...

Then, following the coming East Frisian soldiers, after extinguishing the fire ignited by the butter in front of the door with the fool in the sandbags, everyone rushed in along the collapsed zhaimen and started to fire around, And rumors loudly in the Danish language you are learning:

"The enemy is coming!"

"Our army is defeated!"

"The general is dead!"

"The king is dead ..."

Hearing this, Marin covered his face with some shame-you damn, the Danish King Hans is still in the city and not in this barracks, how do you know that the "King is gone" pinch? The slogan of the current study was clearly rejected because of logic problems before departure, but I didn't expect someone to shout ...

But what Marin did not expect was that the Danish sailors were in a state of panic at this time. When the soldiers under Marin shouted these rumors in the grungy Danish language that is now learning and selling, many Danish sailors believed. ...

So, the Danish camp was even more chaotic ...

The Danish sailors were looking for the clothes to wear, but there was chaos in the camp. In order to save money, except for the oil lamp in the general ’s camp, the tents of ordinary soldiers are generally not lit, and it is naturally dark in the middle of the night. Therefore, it was a mess in the camp of ordinary Danish soldiers at this time ...

"Hansen, where is my Neko?" A Danish sailor asked anxiously. Obviously, this comrade sailor likes to sleep ...

"Where do I know? I'm still looking for the shoes on the left! Damn, where are my left shoes, did you see Ruisen ..."

……

Just like this, the chickens and dogs jumped to the ground. When Marin ’s army had already attacked the Danish sailors ’army account, many of the Danish sailors did not wear their clothes well.

Despite the fact that the main routes in the camp were controlled by the East Frisian army, the Danish sailors were unable to return to the sky ...

Some fiercely resisting camps, and the East Frisian veterans did not talk nonsense. They lit the camps directly with torches. When the stubborn Danish sailors rushed out of the camp, they were directly skewered into a barbecue ...

Marin's side is very smooth, Schwarz's side is not bad. Schwartz did not choose to blow the door, but two people with Kahn, all wearing plate armor, each carrying a tens of pounds of sledge hammer, rushed to the enemy camp, directly smashed the enemy barracks door. The door bolt directly opened the gate of the enemy camp with violence. Then, Schwartz's army entered the enemy camp faster than www.novelhall.com ~ faster than Marin. Even more terrifying is that when the Danish sailor will run out of the Chinese military account and want to organize the soldiers to resist, he is directly smashed by Kahn with a hammer ...

Next, most of the Danish sailors were honest, only some of the Danish sailors who were frightened were mentally mad. When they saw someone with their weapons, they chopped off and looked like crazy. For this kind of person, the East Frisian army obviously has a way, that is, "queuing up to shoot" ...

After dawn, the two Danish naval battalions were all under the control of the East Frisian army. The 10,000 East Frisian veterans brought by Marin only injured more than 30 people. Most of the casualties were caused by Danish sailors who were mad because of the bombing battalion ... If there were many musketeers in the East Frisian army, specializing in dealing with such "madmen", it is estimated that they were hacked More injured people.

What made Marin cry and laugh was that the 4,500 Danish sailors in the sailing camp he occupied occupied more than 500 people in their own hands ...

Because of the bombing battalion, many sailors with poor psychological qualities in the Danish military camp suddenly became mad. Their eyes were red and they cut off when they saw them. The East Frisian soldiers were better and better protected. The Danish sailors who had been scared to flee around were rather unlucky. They were already in a panic, and they did not expect that "their person" would suddenly draw a knife at themselves. Therefore, among the Danish sailors, there are many people recruiting ...

In this way, through a simple night raid, Marin used only 10,000 veterans and spent more than three hours to successfully wipe out the 9,000 sailors in the Danish camp and did not let go of an enemy. And in itself, only paid a small price of more than 30 casualties ...
