After arriving near the main battlefield, Marin arranged the signal soldiers and came to meet them. Why did Marin send someone to meet them? Because it is no longer possible to send people into the Marin camp.
In order to block the enemy, Marin dug all the surroundings of the camp into tunnels, and there were pointed piles in the tunnels. It is really difficult to send people into the big camp.
Of course, Marin's men can still send messages to the barracks. The trick is simple-use pigeons ...
Steindorff certainly does not have a large camp of pigeons dedicated to flying Marin. After all, this camp was only built soon, and it is not a fixed dock for pigeons. Pigeons are not humans after all, and it will not be so easy to remember new stops.
Therefore, in order to contact the outside, Malinte sent people to bring a lot of homing pigeons to the high station of the camping area, so that the homing pigeons are familiar with the environment here. When the coalition of eight princes arrived, Malint let a group of men leave with their pigeons.
Moreover, in order to force these pigeons taken back to this new stop, the people under Marin deliberately split up dozens of pigeon couples, and only took one of the pigeon couples, leaving one High cage in the camp.
The pigeons have only one spouse in their lives, and they will never die. So, for the other half, as long as the signal soldiers release them, they will definitely fly to their spouses. This is the means by which Marin's men sent messages to the camp.
As for the news that Daying sends out, that is another way-let the pigeons fly back to the fixed point of Aurich ...
After all, the signal soldiers who went out could not find where they were, and the pigeons were difficult to locate. Therefore, only the pigeons brought out by Aurich could pass the news back. Then, sitting in Kohler, Aurich, and then sent someone to ride the horse to send out the news.
In response to Steindorff's signal soldiers, he opened the cage and released three pigeons in batches, allowing them to fly into the camp with information. The main reason is that the signal soldiers were afraid that the pigeons would be intercepted halfway.
Letters are tied to the pigeon's legs, and these are digital letters. Morse code is used. Even if the enemy shoots the pigeon and gets the letter, they can't read it.
...
After seeing the news that Steindorff had successfully arrived near the battlefield, Marin was overjoyed and sent someone to reply:
"Continue to intercept the messenger, and at the same time clean up the enemy scouts, try not to disturb the enemy. Then, start working together 4 days later!"
Subsequently, several pigeons flew out of the Marin camp, and flew to the city of Aurich ...
In fact, Malin had planned to agree to do it together three days later, but he knew that Aurich had received information and sent someone to the Steindorff camp several tens of kilometers away to report that it would take a day. Therefore, only four days can be agreed.
...
In fact, Marin's preparation is a bit insufficient. Because, he did not expect Steindorff's army to come so early. After all, the Third Army and Cossack cavalry were trapped on the east bank of the Elbe and it was difficult to reach the battlefield quickly. Therefore, Marin did not expect that they could reach the battlefield within ten days, and they did not have enough preparations, and they planned to continue to consume it.
Now that Steindorff brings someone in time, he has to start in advance ...
As a result, the entire camp began to move. The soldiers began to sort out their weapons and equipment. Officers, however, climbed to the wall of the camp and observed the enemy ’s movements with telescopes.
At the same time, a large number of guns were also taken out in the underground warehouse in Daying ...
In the past, in order not to scare his opponent, Marin didn't take out many guns and put it on the wall, but he was afraid to scare his opponent.
Moreover, Marin deliberately released news that the Beihai country had insufficient stock of gunpowder. As for the shortage, it is because of difficulties in purchasing saltpetre in India. After all, when Spain and Portugal also intervene in the purchase of Indian saltpeter, it is really difficult for the North Sea country to buy enough saltpeter.
This news spread to the coalition battalion of the eight princes. At that time, Charlton, the Earl of Gelden, did not believe it, and he sent someone quickly to Spain and Portugal to verify the matter. As a result, both the Spaniards and the Portuguese admitted that they had purchased a lot of saltpetre in India, which really made it difficult for the North Sea country to purchase saltpetre.
Then, the princes of the Eight Kingdoms were relieved. After all, without enough saltpeter, the sharp guns of the North Sea country lacked gunpowder, which was completely a decoration.
In several tentative attacks, the defenders of the Beihai State did not use many guns. Even, in order to defeat the enemy, Marin also sent an archer ...
In fact, these archers were selected from the Min Zhuang. Because the North Sea country prohibits people from holding guns, many people who want to hunt have to practice archery. Just like Marin who traveled through the ages before and after, because the country banned guns, he had to practice the skill of archery in one hand, and in the early days of crossing, he made a contribution to the horses and horses.
Moreover, muskets have just become popular in this era, before the bow and arrow era. Therefore, it is not difficult to find an archer, and even shops selling bows and arrows are also a lot, and it is good to buy bows and arrows and arrows.
Before the expedition, Marin casually purchased a group of inferior bows and crossbows that merchants were about to eliminate, as well as some rusty arrows, which were distributed to the soldiers and civilians who could shoot arrows, so that they could help guard the camp.
These inferior bows and arrows made Marin achieve his weak goal well. The eight princes believed that there was not much storage for gunpowder in the North Sea ...
...
But now that the third legion of Steindorf and the Cossack cavalry of Alsace are in place, Marin does not need to hide. I was afraid to scare my opponent away, but now I want to leave my opponent ...
However, how to attack from this temporarily built Tucheng is a big problem ...
Before, in order to improve defense, when constructing a rammed earth city, several trenches were dug outside the earth city, and wooden pointed piles were buried in the trench. These are indeed blocking the pace of the enemy, but at the same time also blocking the road of their soldiers out of camp.
Even if people exploded the earth wall and filled several trenches, there was no room for combat. After all, the enemy camp is outside the trench.
Moreover, filling the trench is also a big project. Don't wait for someone to attack when their army fills the ditch ...
...
So, Marin came up with an idea-let the other party help fill the ditch ...
How to let the opponent help? This is easy-Marin has organized a large army of scolding ...
Under Marin's instructions, a group of soldiers from the North Sea greeted the two women of the Duke Henry family and several other princes. Moreover, while scolding them, they despise the other party and conclude that the other party has no way to take ...
The two princes of Henry under the wrath drove the minions to fill the pits with mud, intending to fill several trenches to make room for the army to attack.
As a result, what the coalition forces did not expect was that this time when the coalition forces of the eight princes of the Eight Kingdoms sent the people to fill the pits with cloth bags and back soil, the city tower did not attack the people.
You know, when the coalition forces sent the strong soldiers to fill the pits a few times, they were resolutely attacked by the soldiers of the North Sea State on the city head ~ www.novelhall.com ~ The army couldn't stop using bows and arrows and a small amount of muskets to attack the filling coalition forces. But this time, only a few arrows were shot from the top of the city. The obstruction was not firm at all ...
"What's the matter? Why didn't the other party attack the farmers who filled the soil?" Magnus I, Duke of Saxony-Fort Laurn, was surprised.
"Maybe, the other party has no arrows?" Simon V, Earl of Lipper guessed.
In fact, Simon V guessed right. The inferior bows and arrows brought by Marin really have no arrows. After all, bows and arrows are not the main weapons of the North Sea army, and Marin does not carry many.
But Charlie, the Earl of Gelden, instinctively felt wrong, because Marin would not send someone to insult them for no reason. So he thought about it:
"Or, let's send someone to test it and see his reaction?"
Several other princes nodded their heads in agreement, so Charlie, the Earl of Gelden, sent an officer to the city to protest against the abuse of the eight princes by the Beihai army. At the same time, he deliberately ridiculed the Beihai army's lack of archery, and pointed out that the Beihai army has no arrows ...
