But what made the princes of the Eight Kingdoms unexpected was that Marin actually appeared in the upper gate of the city gate, and generously admitted that he had no arrows ...
"Yes, our stock of arrows is really low!"
The military officer Munster who was responsible for the temptation was also dumbfounded:
"Then why do you scold a few adults? Are you full?"
Marin did not hide him:
"Because I want to ask you to help fill these kang!"
"Fill the pit? What do you want to do?" Munster was confused.
"I have no arrows, it's inconvenient to defend the city. So, I plan to bring troops out of the city to fight you. But these pits not only blocked you, but also prevented our army from going out of the city to fight. So, simply let you send People filled the pit ... "Marin replied half-truly.
"Are you going out of town to fight? Really?" Munster's eyes suddenly lightened.
The officers of the Allied Forces of the Eight Kingdoms were tired of this tough battle of biting a turtle shell. If opponents can come out of Tucheng to fight, then with their superior strength, can't they quickly decide the victory or defeat? In this way, they can also have time to rush home to participate in the autumn harvest ...
It is now in the beginning of October, and the autumn harvest in other countries has gradually begun. If this war can quickly determine the victory and defeat, then the soldiers of the coalition forces of the Eight Kingdoms can also rush back to participate in the wheat harvest. After all, there is no harvester now, and a young man's labor is very important for the autumn harvest.
Looking at the excited enemy officer Munster, Marin deliberately pretended to be embarrassed:
"We want to fight out of the city, but the problem is that there is not enough space to send troops to the formation. Otherwise, you go back to the report and say that we will be out of the city three days later, but we need enough space. Therefore, I want to ask your army to withdraw 1 mile Grid (old length unit, divided into rigs for sea and rigs on land. On the sea, one rig is about 3.18 nautical miles, which is about 5.56 kilometers. On land, it is equivalent to 3 miles, It is about 4.83 kilometers. The land rig is used here, which is 4.83 kilometers), leaving space for our army to go out of town. "
This was what Marin had just thought about. He had a way to blow down the earth wall, but it was a waste of gunpowder. Moreover, the ground after the explosion of the earth wall will not be too flat, affecting the army excavated city.
So, letting your opponent back and make room is a good choice.
Historically, there have been examples such as the "Fight of Fei Shui". It's just that there is no general like Zhu Xu in the enemy, and they can't take the opportunity to shout "Allied forces have lost" when the enemy retreats. Therefore, Marin can only choose to confront the opponent.
Fortunately, the Third Army and the Cossack Army were ambushed in a forest southeast of the battlefield. As soon as the fighting started and the sound of artillery was used as a signal, the Third Army and Cossack Cavalry would rush out and attack the enemy side. So, do n’t worry about the enemy being undefeated ...
...
"What? Marinna really wants to go out of town to fight us? Shouldn't he be confident against our 40,000 army?" Charlie, Earl of Gelden, was puzzled when he heard it.
You know, the current 40,000 army is different from the previous 40,000 army. Before, the coalition of 40,000 princes of the Eight Kingdoms, mainly composed of 20,000 veterans and 20,000 conscripts, was the same in combat effectiveness. It was not dare to say that they could win the two legions of Marin.
But after the city of Oldenburg was captured, the situation changed. After absorbing six thousand Italian mercenaries, the coalition of eight princes accepted another seven thousand private noblemen from the province of Bremen.
Whether it is an Italian mercenary or a noble private army, the combat effectiveness is stronger than the conscripts composed of pure farmers. Therefore, although the number of people has not changed, the combat effectiveness of this army has been greatly improved.
Today, although the coalition forces of the Eight Kingdoms attacking East Friesland still have more than 40,000 people, there are only 7,000 conscription troops left. The newly added 6000 Italian mercenaries and 7,000 noble private troops, although not very strong, are much stronger than the conscripts composed of farmers.
Now, if there is a head-to-head battle, the princes of the Eight Kingdoms are called to have confidence. The eight princes believed that even if the 20,000 people in Marin's hands were all veterans of the North Sea, they could win ...
"Could it be that he really sought a decisive battle because he had no arrows?" Henry, Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg, was very puzzled.
Brunswick-Henry, Duke of Wolfenbüttel, rolled his eyes and said:
"You can't defend the city without bows and arrows? What a stupid! I think, it must be another reason. Maybe, is he afraid of delaying the autumn harvest?"
"Autumn harvest? If he is worried about the autumn harvest, why send someone to burn the wheat fields in Oldenburg? Shouldn't it ..." Henry, Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg retorted.
"It's not stupid to say you are stupid. The province of Oldenburg has been occupied by us. Even if the wheat is harvested, it will be cheaper for us. Therefore, he sent someone to burn the wheat field. But he still has East Friesland and Sever The large wheat fields of Riesland can be harvested, and those harvested are his own. "Henry, Duke of Brunswick-Wolfenbiter, said contemptuously.
Although the two Duke of Henry were both of the Welf family, and they were both called Henry, they did not look good with each other. No, they quarreled ...
"Don't quarrel between the two Henrys, I think, the two adults' words make sense ..." Charlie, Earl of Gelden, hurried out and muddy.
"I think that what he said is gone, it may be true. And the autumn harvest is probably his concern. After all, I heard that the largest corn field in the North Sea is in the native East Friesland. And Sever In Lisland, there are also many corn fields belonging to Marin himself. "
"It is said that the main territory of Marin is in East Friesland. As for Oldenburg, many of the estates are actually some old nobles from the province of Bremen, and Marin is only in charge. Heard, Marin After taking over the estates, he only gave the original output of the old nobles who were sent to the province of Bremen, and the extra output after using the fertilizer was swallowed by himself. Later, he also changed the territory of those people to Bremen. Moreover, the old nobles of Bremen Province have not been given fertilizer. The old nobles of Bremen Province have betrayed Marin. It is said that it has a lot to do with the lack of fertilizer ... "
At this last point, Charlie, the Earl of Galden, was right. Those old nobles whose territories were replaced by the Bremen province not only lost their political rights, but Marin did not provide fertilizers to them, preventing them from making a fortune. And this is also the key reason for the betrayal of most of the old aristocrats in Bremen-getting rich does not bring us together, this is not treating us as ourselves ...
Speaking of which, Baron Gentle, the old aristocratic representative of Bremen, who was with the last seat in the big tent, was full of anger:
"Yes, this guy, Marin, has high-yield fertilizers that he refuses to use for us. He doesn't treat us as his own. Since he doesn't treat us as his own, don't blame us for abandoning him!"
In fact, Marin was only worried that these people would not be able to speak out and use the fertilizer to cause leaks. After all, these people have extensive friendships and huge networks. It would be bad if it leaked. Therefore, Marin not only did not give them fertilizer, but also did not tell them the actual yield after using fertilizer, but only vaguely told them to double the yield per mu. However, this is enough to make those old nobles crazy and jealous-why do you eat meat, my soup can't drink, can only watch?
Subsequently, several veteran noble representatives of Bremen Province who accompanied the last seat, accused Marin of injustice, and stunned him to turn the military conference into a "complaint conference" ...
...
Seeing that the meeting was crooked, Magnus I, Duke of Saxony-Fort Laurn, coughed and said:
"Everyone, let's discuss whether we agree to retreat by 1 rig!"
"I agree, let Marin take the people out of the city, and we will go back home and harvest the wheat. If there is no harvest, if the rain falls, the wheat will fall into the ground!" Said Count Anthony, Earl of Schomburg and Earl of Ravensburg.
"But if we lay the North Sea ~ www.novelhall.com ~ wouldn't we get more wheat?" John I, Earl of Ritterberg, puzzled.
Count Antonios rolled his eyes and said:
"Even if you grab the wheat from Beihai, how much can you score?" After he finished, he looked at the first two Duke Henry sitting.
John I immediately understood-a few of them, the little counts, came to drink soup, and really can eat meat and get big heads, or the two Duke of Henry. Therefore, their domestic harvest cannot be abandoned. After all, that is their root.
Probably figured out, several other counts, including Magnus I, Duke of Saxony-Lauenburg, agreed to retreat so that Marin ’s army could come out of the "turtle shell" of Tucheng to fight them. After finishing the fight earlier, they could return to China for the autumn harvest. As for the autumn harvest in Beihai? Let them harvest themselves, and when they are finished, they will bring the army over to take away the harvested wheat ...
In the end, after thinking twice, the two Duke Henry agreed to withdraw 1 Rigg. Because they thought-if the war is not ended, the fall harvests of East Friesland and West Friesland will be seriously affected. After the victory of the war, most of these grains belonged to them ...
