The city of Las Vegas at the mouth of the Elbe is currently very depressed. Because of the outbreak of war, the situation in the entire lower reaches of the Elbe is very tense. Therefore, the guests who come to Las Vegas to find Mao Mei and gamble money are not here.
Even not only Las Vegas, but also the commercial activities of Hamburg have basically stopped. Because Hamburg is also one of the protagonists of this war. Knowing that Hamburg was going to fight, the business activities here naturally stopped.
In the past, a busy section of the lower Elbe from Hamburg to the estuary, there is basically no boat activity. Even, the Port of Hamburg, built in the seaside, Cuxhaven, currently has few ships calling.
The reason why Hamburg was so depressed was that Frederick III declared Lubeck and Hamburg as pirate bases when he declared war, and announced that they would eliminate these two pirate bases ...
Obviously, the Bossa Allied Forces led by Frederick III wanted to destroy the two main Hanseatic cities of Lubeck and Hamburg. In this way, the Hanseatic city of the Saxony business district, the second largest business district, has the opportunity to rise and replace the leadership positions of Lübeck and Hamburg in the Hanseatic League. The Hanseatic city of Saxony, although nominally independent of the princely kingdom, is still secretly manipulated by the princes of Saxony and the Principality of Saxony. Therefore, as long as the Hanseatic city of Saxony had control over the Hanseatic League, Frederick III and George controlled the Hanseatic League.
Many discerning people also see this, knowing that the Bossa coalition's determination to eliminate Lübeck and Hamburg is very big. Therefore, they did not come to Lubeck and Hamburg to do business during the war. After all, no one knows whether the cities of Lübeck and Hamburg will continue to exist after this war.
Therefore, in the wide lower reaches of the Elbe, there are very few ships on the river. Moreover, there are basically no merchant ships, and only small fishing boats of some fishermen occasionally appear.
Such a depressed environment provides convenience for the transfer of Marin's army. Because if there are fewer people coming and going in the river, the ships carrying reinforcements pass by, so it is not so conspicuous ...
After Marin's order was delivered, the next day during the day, Woolf Esbrand and Saqqara led the 18,000 troops to rest in Las Vegas.
At night, 18,000 soldiers who had been full of sleep during the day boarded the transport ship borrowed from Hamburg and entered the inland area ...
A few hours later, the fleet reached several riverside villages a few kilometers north of Hamburg ...
At this time, Scout cavalry led by Sauer's aide Lough had been waiting here for a long time ...
With 200 interception-type reconnaissance cavalry and another 300 ordinary light cavalry, Loew swept away several nearby villages, arrested all the foreigners, and took away all the horses, avoiding the possibility of news leakage. Then, they forced the local farmers to build a number of simple docks on the edge of the Elbe to facilitate the landing of the fleet and the landing of the army.
On the same night, after the arrival of the fleet carrying reinforcements, the 18,000 troops responded by the men of Loew, and quickly landed on the shore in batches, and began repairing in several nearby villages. And the ships carrying soldiers and grain and grass, while the day was still dark, have left ...
When all the 18,000 reinforcements landed, the sky was getting brighter.
Although Woolf Esbrand and Saqqara completed the landing with their soldiers, they did not immediately order the march. Because, if you are anxious to march eastward during the day, the probability of being found by the Bossa coalition is extremely high.
Therefore, after entering several villages on the east bank of the Elbe, Woolf Esbrand and Saqqara directly ordered the soldiers to start trimming and rest, so as to have enough energy during the night's sneak attack.
However, both Woolf Esbrand and Saqqara warriors live and cook and only allow them to eat dry food. Because, if the 18,000 army is cooking, the stuffed cooking smoke will attract the attention of the Bossa coalition.
Therefore, whether it is Woolf Esbrand and Saqqara, or ordinary soldiers, they can only nibble on the black loaf that can be used as a brick to smash people during the day.
After eating some dark bread, Woolf Esbrand and Sakala arranged for the soldiers to sleep. Because there is a big battle to fight at night ~ www.novelhall.com ~ If you do n’t sleep well, you have to affect the fight at night ...
...
And when 18,000 true reinforcements were hiding in the small villages on the east bank of the Elbe during the day, 10,000 fake reinforcements in Hamburg began to go out of the city in a big battle to attract the attention of the Bassa army. went.
All the 10,000 fake reinforcements sent by Hamburg this time were pretended by non-professionals. Therefore, when marching, it was very chaotic to walk. It was not like the army marching, but it was like 10,000 villagers rushing to gather ...
The Bossa Allied Forces are ready to eliminate them ...
At the beginning, Frederick III was not sure whether this 10,000 fake army was true or not. In case of being cheated, the army sent to solve this fake reinforcements may be bad luck.
Therefore, Frederick III sent a large number of scouts to monitor the "Hamburg reinforcements" during the march. It wasn't until half a day later that the scouts found that this tens of thousands of people was indeed not like an army, and then sent Frederick III and Joachim I, who were anxiously waiting for the news, to send no problem signals ...
After receiving the exact signal, Frederick III dispatched tens of thousands of regular troops to attack the fake "Hamburg reinforcements" of tens of thousands of people ...
When the 10,000 of the Bossa Allied Forces rushed to the place where the tens of thousands of fake reinforcements were stationed, the fake reinforcements soldiers who were originally used to frighten the Bossa Allied Forces were scared.
Although the Hamburg Parliament allowed them to surrender after being attacked by enemy forces. However, these fake reinforcement soldiers from farmers and citizens were still in a mess.
After all, this is a war, not a game. These people will inevitably be nervous and panic when they see a large number of enemy troops coming over. Moreover, many soldiers of this era are no different from robbers. The fake soldiers and soldiers of these ordinary people are also afraid of being hacked and killed by the thousands of enemy troops in front of them ...
