Chapter 137： send troops

If you want to win the Det Marshen area, you must face the 1,000 well-trained militiamen in the Det Marshen area, and about 3,000 strong people.

If it is a face-to-face hard shake, the 4000 militias on the opposite side are definitely not the opponents of Marin's army. However, Marin also worried that the other party would use old methods, such as building up a dam, then draining the embankment, and flooding his army.

Therefore, before marching into Dietmarschen, Marin asked Sauer to scatter the reconnaissance troops, focusing on reconnaissance of rivers and dams in the district of Dietmarsin, so that his army would not repeat the mistakes of the Danish army.

Then, Marin began to gather troops, preparing to march into Hyde, the capital of the Dietmarschen area, and strive for a rapid march to surround Hyde City in the shortest time.

With the in-depth investigation of Sauer ’s scouts, Marin accidentally discovered that the main ethnic group in the Dietmarschen area turned out to be a Frisian ...

The Frisians are widely distributed in the North Sea region of Germany, from Friesland in the Netherlands to the west coast of Denmark.

For example, Frisian fishermen dominate the western coastal region of the Principality of Schleswig. Unexpectedly, the Dithmarshen area to the south is also dominated by Frisians.

In fact, in this era, not only the coastal areas of West Friesland and East Friesland were dominated by Frisians. The North Sea coasts like the Oldenburg, the Archdiocese of Bremen, the Principality of Holstein and the Principality of Schleswig are dominated by Frisians.

Even when the Anglo-Saxons who moved to Britain were mixed with a large number of Frisians. Or, it can be said that the later Frisians were basically the group of people left by the Anglo-Saxons who moved to Britain ...

Therefore, in the Middle Ages, English and Frisian were so similar. Even, between the two, it is completely possible to communicate. However, the two are written completely differently. Frisian is written in German, and English is written in English. The difference between the two is somewhat similar to the inner and outer Mongolian script. Inner Mongolia also uses traditional Mongolian script, while outer Mongolia, because of the Maozi colonization, uses very funny Cyrillic script. However, people inside and outside Mongolia can communicate directly in language, but not in words ...

Marin has always claimed to be the co-owner of the Frisians. Moreover, these Frisians are mostly familiar with water and are good at fishing. They are very good sources of sailors. According to intelligence, there are more than 20,000 people in the Dietmarschen area, most of them are Frisians.

Therefore, in any case, Marin is to win Dieter Marshall. Not to mention its very good geographical location, the 20,000 Frisians alone are enough to make Marin's heart move.

In fact, another intelligence showed that the reason why the Dietmarchen region was able to resist Denmark without being annexed, Lübeck ’s support was very important.

Every time the Danish army gathers and wants to attack Dietmarschen, the Lübecks will get intelligence from Copenhagen early and then quickly send them to the Dietmarschen area. When the Danish army arrived, the Frisians in the Dietmarschen area had already been standing by.

The outbreak of the Battle of Hemingstedt was that after the Dietmarshen received the intelligence of the Danish army, the commander Woolf Esbrand made a plan to flood the Danish army.

For this reason, Dietmarschen ’s army voluntarily gave up the capital Hyde and retreated to the higher-lying Hemingstedt village. Then, it led to the siege of the Danish army, and then opened the gate to let the water drown countless Danish army ...

However, now that Lübeck is an ally of Marin, it is natural that he will no longer rule Ditt Marshen's own combat intentions. Moreover, Marin's 20,000 army is now withdrawing and has not been disbanded. At this time, attacking Dieter Marshen does not need to spend time to mobilize, and can directly enter.

After Sauer ’s reconnaissance team figured out the situation in the Ditmarshen area, Marin did not care to appease the beloved nobles of Las Vegas City who were to be arranged to the non-existent Las Vegas City, leaving 5,000 people to guard the Schiller After the Principality of Suyig, he led a 15,000 army and went straight to the Dietmarshen area, following the well-reconstructed roads of Sauer ’s scouts.

First of all, Marin led the army, crossed the pontoon prepared by the Scout troops, and crossed the natural boundary line between the Principality of Holstein and the Principality of Schleswig-Ed River. Then, the army went south with mighty force and went straight to Hyde, the capital of Dietmarschen.

In order to prevent the recurrence of the enemy ’s old tricks, Marin let the 1,000-lance cavalry advance, cutting off the road from Hyde to the southern village of Hemingstedt, and patrolling the nearby river channels to prevent the enemy from further flooding the Seventh Army .

And the main force of 14,000 people, carrying a lot of artillery, shells and food, hurried towards Hyde City without delay ...

In Hyde, the capital of Dietmarschen, an officer hurriedly rushed into the city and ran towards the city hall. Then, regardless of sweating, he rushed into the office of the ruling Woolf Esbrand:

"Report, about 10,000 people in power, the army of East Friesland, invaded Dietmarshin!"

"What? More than 10,000 people? Why is there no news in advance?" Dieter Marschen's ruling Woolf Esbrand was also a little flustered. Usually, before Ditt Marshin's attack, someone from Lübeck would warn him. However, this time, the Lübeckers did not come to warn. Unprepared, the enemy came to more than 10,000 troops at once, and Woolf Esbrand, who was known as "skillful", also panicked.

"It's not very clear. It is said that the East Frisian nation is allied with Hamburg and Lübeck. The Lübeck people are now allies of East Friesland, so we didn't warn us."

"Don't care anymore, you can call General Anriel and let him issue a mobilization order, call for strong men throughout the country, and assist in defense. Then, look for the opportunity to retreat to the village of Hemingstedt ..." Germany intends to repeat the old tricks, drowning the enemy with water ...

"I'm afraid it won't work anymore, the ruling lord. When I came, the enemy sent a thousand cavalry and two horses to control the main road outside Hyde City. And, according to my observation, these cavalry are not ordinary. Light cavalry, but heavy armored knights in armor and strong martial arts ... If our army leaves the city, the 1,000 cavalry can easily destroy us ... Before, I still rushed into the city from the west of the city. Seongnam, now controlled by the 1,000 enemy cavalry ... "said the officer in despair.

Woolf. Esbrand was depressed when he heard this very bad news. However, he quickly made a decision:

"No matter, since flooding is not possible, then trouble you to go to the small towns and villages west of Hyde and let them send more militia to help defend Hyde. By the way, let them ride horses, don't delay on the road. When the enemy's main force arrives, we may have no connection with the reinforcements ... "

"If you can't beat ..."

"No if! Even if we can't fight, we have to fight. Of course, if we can't, we can negotiate with the enemy. But first, we must fight a beautiful battle. That way, even if we negotiate, we can take some initiative ..."

"Understood ..." The officer quickly left and went to execute the order.

Woolf Esbrand ~ www.novelhall.com ~ sat at the table with a sad face, thinking about the countermeasures. For Marin, Woolf Esbrand is also relatively familiar. At the time, when Denmark helped Oldenburg to force Marin to cede the land to pay compensation, Woolf Esbrand even thought of forming an alliance with Marin. Because, he had long inquired that Marin was a military wizard, and he was extremely capable of training and consolidating troops. It is said that he also invented the very powerful Marin Phalanx. But what he didn't expect was that, in a blink of an eye, Marin not only avenged Denmark, but also went directly to Copenhagen.

Obviously, the fighting power of Marin's army is unreasonably high. At least, the Danish army was beaten to cry. Originally, Woolf Esbrand was very happy that Denmark was unlucky. However, he hadn't been happy for long, and the East Frisian army turned around to deal with Dieter Marshall, making Woolf Esbrand a little caught off guard ...

What makes Woolf Esbrand even more helpless is that the other party seems to be guarding against the repetition of his old tricks, using flooding. Actually, he has already sent cavalry and blocked the road to the upper reaches of the eastern river. Woolf. Esbrand's flooding strategy has lost its place ...

Speaking of this, Woolf Esbrand can be regarded as the "Zhuge Kongming" in Europe. The ability to defeat the Danish army of more than 10,000 with one thousand militia is definitely enough to go down in history.

Unfortunately, after the floodless conspiracy, a thousand militias faced more than 10,000 troops who had just defeated Denmark's East Frisian army. Even the resourceful Woolf Esbrand was at a loss. After all, the difference in strength is too great. Without saying anything else, if there is no cover of the city walls, the 1,000 spear cavalry in the east and south of the city can hang the 1,000 militia in Hyde City one hundred times, one hundred times, let alone the main force 10,000 What an army ...
