Chapter 428： Danish troops

In the last war, the Danish princes had been frightened, so this joint operation, although Denmark was the cause of the war, it was the slowest to send troops. WwΔW. "Ksnhuge" ge. La because, Denmark has to wait and see ...

When the 50,000 troops of the Bossa Allied Forces entered Lübeck, the Danish army did not move. Because, they knew that the Principality of Schleswig might send troops south to reinforce. Moreover, the troops sent 8,000 south to reinforce.

The Principality of Schleswig has only a total of 10,000 troops. If eight thousand people are sent to the south to reinforce, then there are only two thousand people in the Principality of Schleswig. Facing Denmark's 20,000 troops, there is no reason to be undefeated. But if Denmark sends troops early, these eight thousand people may not go south. Facing the 10,000-strong army with the city wall cover, the 20,000 Danish army may not have an advantage. Therefore, the Danes endured no troops and waited for the Principality of Schleswig to divide their troops and go south for support.

Moreover, the Danish prince thought that it was normal for the Principality of Schleswig to send 8,000 troops to the south for reinforcements. why? Because Marin is in Lübeck. The army of the Principality of Schleswig, to put it bluntly, is under Marin's men. If Marin was defeated in Lübeck or even captured, then the Principality of Schleswig would definitely be ceded. Therefore, it is completely unimportant whether the Principality of Schleswig remains or not. Most importantly, the result of the war on Lübeck ’s side.

Therefore, for Marin, it is the most correct choice to transfer the army of the Principality of Schleswig to Lübeck. After all, 28,000 people have more strength and confidence to fight 50,000 enemy troops than 20,000 people.

The Principality of Schleswig, indeed, according to the Danish idea, "gathered the army south", under the watchful eyes of Danish spies ...

After receiving Marin's reminder, Woolf Esbrand quickly gathered eight thousand strong men in Marin's country manor, and gave them a black cross vest and a simple spear.

Then, these eight thousand civilians were gathered near the regular military barracks and closed training began. The main task is to train against teams, training simple queues such as left-to-right and simultaneous walking.

The way to distinguish between the left and the right is still the same-compromise on one foot and wear shoes on the other. In this way, it is not easy to distinguish between left and right. After all, normal feet can still tell which foot is wearing shoes and which foot is not. As long as it is marked with left and right, it will be easy to handle.

Moreover, the soldiers wore straw shoes that Marin had been promoting. After all, straw shoes are not only easy to use, but also very low in cost. Unlike leather shoes, ordinary people simply cannot afford them.

Basically, the most important feature of the Marin army soldiers is that they are all covered with black cross vests on white background, and they wear straw shoes on their feet, which looks very neat. Of course, officers do not wear straw shoes, they are paid well, and they wear leather boots.

Therefore, the difference between soldiers and officers in Marin ’s army is obvious. It is clear from the bottom of the feet-those wearing leather shoes and boots are generally officers, while those wearing straw shoes are definitely soldiers.

After several days of assault queue training, 8000 Minfu came out and looked decent. When the eight thousand civilians walked outside the barracks with their spears at a neat pace, no one thought of them as civilians, and regarded them as regular soldiers.

Of course, this is just an illusion. Because, these eight thousand civilian husbands let them go in a queue to succeed. Once a war is encountered, it is estimated that it will soon collapse. After all, they haven't had time to conduct combat training yet ...

Before the outbreak of the war, the Danes did send a few German businessmen into the city of Schleswig, the capital of the Principality of Schleswig, to investigate the news under the prestige of doing business.

However, what they did not know was that Marin's strict management of the household registration system under his administration, and that serfs could not leave the manor casually, it was obvious to outsiders in the Principality of Schleswig that they knew it as soon as they checked.

So, despite the name of the German businessman, Mikel and Woolf Esbrand knew that they were Danish spies ...

Of course, no one caught them. Because, Woolf Esbrand has received an order to show a good show to these spies ...

In this way, when the news of the war in Lübeck came, Woolf Esbrand pretended to be in a state of panic, and then sent people to the base camp near Schleswig to dispatch troops. Then, eight thousand armed with a spear, wearing a "regular army" with a black cross waistcoat and straw shoes on white background, took a neat pace and came to gather outside the south gate of the city of Schleswig, and sworn out to prepare to go south to the Savior ...

Under the watchful eyes of the urban citizens of All-Schleswig and the several Danish spies, Woolf Esbrand made a fervent speech and vowed to defeat the powerful enemy of master Marin ... More than 10,000 people in Denmark have been defeated by a thousand soldiers. So, he is qualified to brag this bull ...

After the bragging, under the watch of everyone, Woolf Esbrand personally put on the battle, stepped on the war horse, and took the "eight thousand main force", and went southward to the Savior with mighty ...

That night, the "German merchants" left the city of Schleswig overnight, drove horses, and drove down the road to the north, aiming directly at the territory of Jutland, Denmark.

They left the city in the afternoon, but instead of "turning south," they took their horses and temporarily rested in a rented dwelling outside the city. Obviously, there is one of their strongholds.

In the middle of the night, these "German merchants" sneaked away from the yard, crossed the horse by the glimmer of Xingyue, and headed north all the way to bring the news back to Denmark.

Under the instruction of Mickel, no one besieged these people along the way. Even the officers and soldiers who set up the card deliberately did not send people to patrol, but played a night of cards in the night house ...

However, after the spies left, the courtyard where they lived was immediately checked by Mikel. The owner of the courtyard was also arrested-this man is the Danish spy leader in Schleswig, and his house is also an intelligence base in Denmark ...

It's no wonder, after all, here was the Danish territory before, and the Danes left some spies here ~ www.novelhall.com ~ is also normal. However, after tonight, the spies hiding in the Principality of Schleswig will be cleaned up by a wave ...

Also on this night, Woolf Esbrand, after walking 30 kilometers south with the "eight thousand regular troops", immediately changed his clothes and turned his horses, and then returned to Schleswig in the middle of the night. The leader of the "eight thousand regular army" was replaced by another bodyguard of his size, wearing his armor. However, while the guard was marching, he kept the mask on his helmet down, and no outsiders could see anything unusual.

And this "suspect soldier" will slow down after entering the Principality of Holstein and simply stay there first. After the war begins, look back ...

The Danish spies watched Woolf Esbrand take the "Six Thousand Main Forces" southward to the Savior, so he quickly sent the intelligence to Denmark.

Of course, not to Copenhagen, but to Prince Christian, the commander of the 20,000-strong Danish army on the Jutland peninsula.

After receiving the information, Prince Christian finally let go. In his view, a 20,000-strong army will fight 2,000 enemy troops. Even if the enemy troops can stand up to their strength, they will not escape the fate of defeat. So, he calmly ordered 20,000 Danish soldiers and began to demolish the camp, preparing to pull the camp south ...
