Chapter 427: 4-way vibration
"By the way, what if the ships in the port continue to deliver supplies to Lübeck City? If ammunition is brought in again, it will be useless for us to drive more people ..." After laughing, Joakim I said worriedly. Ω ヤ 看 圕 阁 Free download and download network メ WWW. .kàn.sHu.ge. lA
Frederick III waved his hand carelessly and said:
"I ’ve already thought about this. I plan to build thousands of more stone throwers and row them by the river. As long as their ships dare to appear in the river again, they will desperately throw fireballs to burn the ships. The ships are made of wood, Fear of fire. "
Joakim I thought about it and nodded. The Trave River is not wide, and it is easy for the stone thrower to shoot large ships on the river, which is basically equivalent to a live target. Before the number of stone throwers was small, they were run away by Marin's fleet. If there are thousands of rock-throwing machines throwing fireballs together, 10 warships will certainly not be able to run away. After all, the Travo River is so wide that it's very convenient for the stone thrower to hit.
As long as thousands of simple stone-throwing machines are arranged and the ship wants to enter, it really has to weigh down ...

The fact that the Electorate of Brandenburg and the Electorate of Saxony jointly dispatched 50,000 troops to attack Lübeck soon spread to the German region.
The more explosive news is that 20,000 of these 50,000 troops are the famous Swiss mercenaries. Coupled with the 15,000 main forces each dispatched by Brandenburg and Saxony, these 50,000 troops are all elite and powerful.
In recent years, in Europe, not to mention the 50,000 elite troops, in general wars, few unilaterally dispatched more than 20,000 troops. The largest war in the past was probably the war in which France dispatched 40,000 troops and the Spanish War.
Therefore, the scale of the 50,000 troops of the Bossa Allied Forces is already the largest war in Western Europe in these years. Such a large scale of war is difficult to attract the attention of all countries.
After the news spread to the German countries, the monarchs of various countries sent spies one after another to observe the war from a distance. Of course, they are not looking at the excitement, but to determine the future political situation in the German region.
It can be said that the outcome of this war will directly affect the future political structure of the German region. The victory of the Bossa Allied Forces is of course that the prestige of the electorate of Brandenburg and the electorate of Saxony will be equal for a while. .
Moreover, with the defeat of Lübeck and Hamburg, the Hanseatic League will also usher in a major reshuffle, and the economy of the entire German region will be greatly affected. Therefore, those princes have to pay serious attention to the success or failure of this war.
Although the Bossa coalition is extremely powerful, it also has 20,000 Swiss mercenaries. However, according to intelligence, Marin, a new prince with a reputation for warfare, brought 20,000 troops into the city of Lübeck in advance to assist in defense. In this way, although Marin's army is far less than the coalition, it has the geographical advantage and can still fight. After all, the water around Lubeck is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Relying on the strong wall, in the eyes of the monarchs of various countries, Marin's 20,000 troops, even if they can't beat the coalition forces, are still not a problem for a few months.
Everyone believes that the key to this war is how long Marin can hold on. This is because the logistical pressure of the 50,000 troops is too great. Malindo insisted on one day, and went one step further from victory.
If Marin ’s army can stand for a few months, the huge food consumption of 50,000 troops and 30,000 civilians can bring the financial power of the two powerful countries of the electoral countries of Brandenburg and Saxony to life. Brought down ...
After all, European food is so expensive, 80,000 mouths, the daily food consumption is about 80,000 pounds. Fighting is different from usual, soldiers eat more than usual, otherwise they do not have enough physical strength and fighting. If you consume 80,000 pounds of food a day, it will be 2.4 million pounds a month ...
According to this algorithm, the Bursa coalition army consumes 2.4 million pounds of food per month. Calculated at the price of 1 fenny per pound, it is 2.4 million fenny, which equals 40,000 gold coins ...
If Marin can make good use of the strong walls of Lübeck City, and persist for more than a few months, the consumption of 50,000 troops will bring down the Bossa Union.
As for whether Marin's army will be dragged down, no one thinks it will. why? Because Marin itself has money. In addition, his allies are local cities such as Lübeck and Hamburg, and their heritage is no less than that of the electoral states of Brandenburg and Saxony. Coupled with the fact that the army is much smaller than the opponent, no one thinks that Marin ’s army will collapse due to lack of grain and supplies ...
Therefore, the current mainstream view of European countries is that if Marin can rely on tenacious defense and delay the war as long as possible, there is a possibility of victory. Of course, this kind of victory means that the Bossa Allied Forces could not bear the consumption of materials and was forced to withdraw their troops, rather than Marin defeating the Bossa Allied Forces.
If you ca n’t keep it, then you do n’t need to talk about it. Obey and wait to cede the territory and pay a large ransom ...
No one thought that Marin's army would defeat the coalition by military means, except Marin himself. Because, everyone does not know that Marin recruited 10,000 new people in England, and he has trained well ...
...
Although, as everyone knows, Denmark is also one of the protagonists in this war. However, no one believes that Denmark has the strength to participate in this war.
Because, after the defeat of Denmark before, countries will not take the Danish Army seriously, and generally do not like Denmark. Moreover, the Principality of Schleswig also has Marin's 10,000 troops stationed. In addition, Maritime Denmark also lost its sea power. If the Danish army wants to go south, they must pass through the Principality of Schleswig, but if they can beat the army of the Principality of Schleswig, they can go down south successfully ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ That's hard to say ...
In Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania, the Grand Duke Alexander of Lithuania also received information about the outbreak of the war. After all, he is the king of Poland, and Poland and the electorate of Brandenburg are bordered. It is not surprising to receive information.
After learning that Prince Siegmont wanted to marry Marin's Hoffman family, Duke Alexander was hesitant. Now, he does not hesitate ...
why? Grand Duke Alexander ’s choice was simple-if Marin survived the war and won the final victory, then the Huffman family will definitely take off. In this way, it would be nothing to let Prince Ziegmont marry Anne.
If Marin is defeated, the Huffman family will inevitably decline, or even die. In that way, there is no need to marry such a family ...
So, like other princes in the German region, Duke Alexander is also watching and waiting, waiting for the outcome of this war to make the most favorable choice for the Jagiellon dynasty ...
It can be said that the forces of both sides shocked Europe in this war. No matter who is the winner, he will become a powerful hegemony in Europe, with a powerful force that determines the future of Europe ...
