Seeing that the city gate was broken, the Italian mercenaries who were already trapped suddenly lost their breath and lost the courage to continue their resistance. As a result, many Italian mercenaries have laid down their weapons.
After laying down their weapons, instead of kneeling to surrender, these Italian mercenaries lay on the ground and went to sleep ...
The soldiers of the Allied Forces of the Eight Kingdoms stared at the Italian mercenaries who threw down their weapons and lay on the ground snoring. They didn't know what to do.
Fortunately, experienced commanders responded, and under the command of these experienced commanders, the soldiers of the coalition forces of the Eight Kingdoms collected the weapons thrown on the ground by the Italian mercenaries who had surrendered. Then, the Italian mercenaries who slept in the middle of the road and blocked the road were brought to the side of the road. Then the army was able to move on. Of course, there have been many resistances.
Later, Foster, an Italian-speaking officer in Lipper suddenly blessed his soul, and suddenly shouted in Italian:
"The surrender can sleep now!"
Then, many dark-eyed Italian mercenaries who were still resisting suddenly lost their fighting spirit ...
"Sleep ... sleep ... sleep ..." These words suddenly hovered in the minds of Italian mercenaries, lingering ...
Then, many Italian mercenaries threw down their weapons directly, picked up the quilt around them, and lay down to sleep, quickly snoring.
"Don't sleep in the middle of the road, go to the roadside to sleep!" Foster then yelled in Italian.
Afterwards, the impoverished Italian mercenaries, all of whom had learned their skills, threw away their weapons and slept directly on the roadside. Moreover, they slept so hard that the noise around them did not affect them at all.
The senior generals of the coalition saw this trick, so they let more mercenaries who knew Italian, and persuaded the Italian mercenaries who were still resisting to put down their arms to sleep ...
Then, many mercenary Italian mercenaries laid down their weapons and slept directly.
Only Pargani, the supreme leader of the 10,000 Italian mercenaries, with 500 men, remained at Oldenburg Cathedral and refused to surrender. Because of the fear of the church, the soldiers of the coalition forces of the Eight Kingdoms did not dare to attack the church.
As a result, Charlie, the Earl of Galden who had entered the city, directly sent all Italian-speaking mercenaries to the door of the Oldenburg church and persuaded in Italian:
"Sleep! Sleep! You are sleepy, it's time to sleep ..."
Even some people sang lullaby in Italian ...
In this way, Pargani's 500 diehards were persuaded to sleep most of the time. There are more than a hundred men left, unable to stop the hundreds of knights who rushed in wearing a full set of plate armor-they wear plate armor and are not afraid of swords ...
In this way, the city of Oldenburg was captured by the coalition forces of the princes of the Eight Kingdoms in such a dramatic way. Then the eight princes were relieved ...
...
In fact, with the eight princes relieved, and Marin—
"The city is finally broken, so that I don't have to pay the 2 million gold coins!"
After smoothing out the Italian mercenaries in the city, the next step is naturally to divide the meeting. The eight princes stared at the soldiers who had moved a large amount of property from the warehouse in Oldenburg with their eyes full of light.
But Earl Lipper Simon V closed his eyes in pain, saying:
"I don't want to read it anymore. With so much money, I have to give half of it to Steindorff and Wagner. The more I look, the less reconciled I am. So, it's better not to watch ..."
Several other princes are also very close. Seeing countless money, it does not belong to me. This feeling is so sad ...
But Charlie, the Earl of Gelden, persuaded everyone to say:
"Adults don't have to be sad, it doesn't matter if all the property in Oldenburg is given to others. Do you know that in Aurich, there is more wealth than Oldenburg ... It is said that Aurich The total value of wealth here may reach more than 5 million gold coins ... "
Speaking of which, the other seven princes suddenly became breathless-5 million gold coins, how much did they get ...
In fact, this was originally made up by Charlie, Earl of Gelden, to comfort everyone. But what Charlie didn't expect was that the news he made up blindly was a big truth-he was blindly right ...
There is indeed a lot of wealth in Aurich, and it is far more than 5 million gold coins. The so-called 5 million gold coins actually refer to the value of other assets in the city of Aurich except for food. If food is counted, it is even more than that.
In order to store food, Marin even expanded an outer city in the northern city of Aurich to store food. Aurich ’s total grain reserve is estimated to have reached 500 million pounds, with a market price of around 8.333 million gold coins.
If the princes of the Eight Kingdoms can really capture Aurich, it is estimated that they can get a huge amount of wealth worth more than 13 million gold coins ...
...
But even if they did not know the true wealth of Aurich, the figure of 5 million gold coins still stimulated them ...
"Fucked! We must defeat Marin, take Aurich, and grab the fortune of 5 million gold coins!" Henry, Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg snarled with red eyes.
"We did it too!" Several other princes were also stimulated with blood.
"However, there are 20,000 troops in the opponent. If Orich is dead, it is difficult for us to conquer!" Otto VIII, Count of Bentheim-Tecklenburg worried.
The city of Oldenburg where a 10,000-scale Italian mercenary was stationed was so difficult to win. Aurich was stationed by the First Corps, which was much stronger than the Italian mercenaries ...
Other princes probably also thought of this, and his face was a little unsightly.
Brunswick-Henry, Duke of Wolfenbüttel, turned his eyes:
"Maybe, we can continue to use the day and night shift attack to deal with Aurich ’s defenders. Did n’t you see the way the Italian defenders were trapped? Think about it, by that time, the Marin guy probably also You ca n’t sleep with dark circles under your eyes! By then, for a few days in a row, even the First Army of the North Sea State ca n’t stand it! "
"Yes, we can use this trick to make the Beihai defenders sleep well!" Several other princes lit up.
But they didn't know that they thought they were original "weak enemy plans", and they had already ruined the street in China. And Marin, certainly will not be successful.
And Charlie, Earl of Gelden said:
"Don't think so simple, Marin is not easy to deal with. Maybe, we can increase our strength ..."
"Increase troop strength? How to increase? Is it necessary to capture the strong soldiers of the Beihai Kingdom as conscripts? This is useless ~~ www.novelhall.com ~ The conscript strength is low, and the brawny of the Beihai Kingdom may not be willing to fight for us ..." Schom Asked Anthony Count of Fort and Ravensburg in doubt.
"Why? I mean, the more than 8,000 Italian mercenaries we just captured ..." Count Charles shook his head. There were only 8,000 Italian mercenaries who were originally 10,000.
"Italian mercenaries? Right, if these captured Italian mercenaries turn to accept our employment, they will have a hard time gaining a foothold in the mercenary world." Henry the Duke of Brunswick-Luneburg questioned.
In this era, mercenaries still have certain principles. For example, two will not be employed in a war. If it is captured, it will not accept the employment of the opponent.
Because, once they do this, their reputation will be greatly damaged. In the future, I am afraid that no employer will be willing to hire this kind of mercenary who will vote against the enemy. Especially the leaders of some mercenary regiments value their reputation. Because, with a reputation, someone will hire them.
But Count Charles smiled cunningly:
"I know that mercenaries care about fame, but most of the care about fame is the head of those mercenary regiments. But, what if we set aside those mercenary leaders?"
"what do you mean……"
"We casually found an unknown soldier in an Italian mercenary and asked him to build an empty mercenary regiment. Then, we recruited these Italian prisoners of war into this empty mercenary regiment. In this way, even if they surrendered to us, they would serve us , And the reputation of the previous mercenary regiment is not compromised. After this battle, the temporarily damaged shelled mercenary regiment will be disbanded, and those Italian mercenaries will return to the original mercenary regiment ... "Charlie The earl explained in detail.
The other seven princes stared at Earl Charlie with dumbfounded eyes-is there such a Sao operation?
