Chapter 495: Break the city again

Cage and his three hundred special forces did not launch an attack that night. The reason for giving up the attack was that during the day Marin ’s army attacked the city, and the Danish army was still very vigilant at this time. If they attacked the city that night, they might be discovered by the Danish army.

Therefore, Malin waited for two days. It wasn't until the Danes thought that the East Frisian army had given up on the siege, before Cage started preparing with three hundred special forces.

In addition, in these two days, Marin and Schwartz, Woolf Esbrand and others, as well as Cage, discussed the armor of the special forces and what weapons were used.

Because these 300 special forces have to quietly cross the Copenhagen Bay in the southeast of Copenhagen, and then use the claws to climb up the city. Therefore, during the crossing, the equipment should not be too heavy. Therefore, the plate armor is ruled out first. The "Mahjong Mat" armor made of wood chips has become the first choice for 300 special forces because of its good buoyancy. Of course, the "Mahjong Mat" armor they wear is covered in iron. Although it will increase the weight, the wood chip itself has good buoyancy, and the weight of the iron sheet is negligible.

In addition, after entering the city, because of the need to storm the city gate, a shield is the best. Iron Shield will definitely not work, it's too hard to cross the iron shield. Therefore, you still have to choose a wooden shield. Not only is it light, but it is good for climbing the city wall on your back. During the crossing, the wooden shield can also provide enough buoyancy to reduce the pressure of the crossing. In addition to shields, the weapons attacked by the special forces are mainly sabers used by the light cavalry, imitating the "65" cavalry knives. This knife is made of high carbon steel, which is very strong and durable. Chopping against enemy weapons is very advantageous. Moreover, because the back of the knife is relatively straight, it can also be used to stab directly and make a cameo with a one-handed sword. In addition, the weight of the 65 saber is not heavy, only about 19 kg, much lighter than the rifles of later generations. In addition, the wooden shield made of double-layer wooden boards can also provide a certain amount of buoyancy when armed crossing, making it easy for special forces to armed crossing.

Two days before the attack, the 300 special forces, under the leadership of Cage, worked hard to practice fighting skills using sabers and shields.

Speaking of these, these special forces are usually not used without training sabers. However, this is the first time it has been used with a shield. Fortunately, these special forces were originally selected by the whole army as fighting tips, and two days were enough for them to adapt to the use of sabers while holding wooden shields.

When Marin ’s scouts used the telescope to observe the ascent, they discovered that it seemed that the hundreds of soldiers defending the city gate in Denmark used spears.

The spear is indeed a good cold weapon, but the spear also has its shortcomings, that is-it cannot be opened in a small space. The spear is a weapon with wide opening and wide closing, which needs space to display. In a small gate hole, sometimes the short knife has an advantage. Of course, the premise is that you don't get stabbed by a spear.

Therefore, Marin, Schwartz and others believed that in the narrow gate gates, special forces only had to use wooden shields to block the stings of enemy spears, and then took the opportunity to post them and use a saber to slash, which was very advantageous. Those enemy infantry who use a spear of a few meters long, if they are brought close, they basically have to wait to be slaughtered. After all, they face martial arts special forces ...

At ten o'clock in the middle of the night two days later, the Chorus of All Surroundings held a grand Danish folk song performance conference outside the southwestern city wall of Copenhagen.

The Danish soldiers on the southwestern city wall naturally watched the wonderful performance of the choir with great interest. The soldiers in the northeastern city wall did not relax their vigilance, fearing that the East Frisian army would take the opportunity to attack at night.

However, the vigilance of Danish soldiers on the walls facing the water on both the southeast and northwest sides is much worse. Why? Because the Danes are also very clear-even if the enemy can climb up a few people from the two walls, they can't cope with the subsequent soldiers to get to the city smoothly. After all, the two walls are all under water. If you want to siege, you have to fill in rivers and lakes, or build a pontoon. But these two actions are impossible to hide the eyes and ears of the Danish army. Therefore, the Danish soldiers are more at ease with these two walls, and even a little slack.

When the choir of "Si Chu Chu" began to perform outside the southwestern city wall, many Danish guards on the southeast and northwestern wall sections ran directly to the southwestern wall to watch the performance ...

In fact, at 12 midnight, the vigilance of the Danish defenders was still very high. Even on the walls facing the water in the southeast and northwest, there are no soldiers on duty.

But after two o'clock in the morning, the originally tightly defended soldiers of the southeastern and northwestern sides of the Danish garrison began to slacken. Many people either fell asleep or ran to the southwestern wall to watch the show ... …

Cage, with 300 men, was lurking in the grass on the opposite side of Copenhagen Bay in the southeastern wall of Copenhagen. Using a telescope, he carefully observed the movement of the Danish defenders above the city ...

It wasn't until 3 o'clock in the morning that Cage confirmed that they were preparing to attack the city wall section, and began to really calm down, and no more patrols passed by from time to time ...

Before leaving, Cage asked his correspondent to inform Schwarz, who was lurking near the city gate outside the northeastern city wall-he began to act ...

Under the leadership of Cage, 300 special soldiers tied a wooden shield like a turtle shell to their chests to increase buoyancy when armed.

After crossing the river smoothly, Cage didn't rush to take people to climb the city head. He knew that after waiting for a while, and confirming that there was no one on the city head, he started throwing claws at the city head with his men ...

After throwing the flying claws, Cage didn't rush to take people to climb the city wall, but waited for a while and found that no enemy noticed this before taking everyone to climb the city wall quietly.

Then, on the other side of the city, Cage and others did not go down the normal stairs. Because, there must be a night watch guard there.

As a result, they simply used flying claws to hook the inside edge at the other end of the city wall. Everyone was tied down from the rope to avoid being discovered by the enemy guarding the stairs. Of course, before everyone went down, the last person tossed down the other people's claws, leaving only one claw stuck on the city's head.

After successfully entering the city, Cage did not say anything. He took his men directly, wearing a "Mahjong mat" wood chip armor, holding a saber and a wooden shield, quietly avoiding the patrol of the defending army, and walked to the northeast of the city gate ... …

European cities were generally not large at this time. It took only more than 30 minutes for Cage and others to touch the inner wall of the northeast wall from the southeast wall.

At a small alley inside the northeast gate, Cage looked at the gate hole and found that many people were stationed inside. Although the defenders were mostly sleeping on the ground floor in the city gate caves, there were still many people on duty. Moreover, these soldiers who guard the gates of the city are absolutely elite. Because at this time, about a hundred people are still awake. And about three hundred others, although they were asleep, were sitting on their backs, without taking off their clothes, and there was a spear beside them. As long as the enemy attacks from the inside, those who are at night roar, and these sleeping veterans will quickly get up and pick up their spears to block the enemy's attack ...

If you encounter ordinary enemies, you really can't get them. Because, according to Marin's habit of attacking the city, usually one or two hundred people were sent to the city after being put on makeup, and then launched a raid. As for wanting to send more people into it? That is impossible. After all, European cities are generally small at this time. It is very conspicuous for you to flood into a few hundred strong men at once.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, Denmark sent hundreds of elite veterans to guard the city gate and occupied a favorable terrain. It should not be broken. For this reason, the confident Danes did not block the iron city gate with bricks and wood during the war ... Woolf Esbrand suggested that the special forces attack, that is, the city of iron city There was no blocking behind the door. As long as there are hundreds of Danish elites in the hundreds of gates, you can open the gate and put the main force in.

However, things are not so simple. After all, there are more than 400 elite Danish veterans in the city gate cave. Plus, not far from the gate is a military camp. As long as the soldiers in the gate of the city insisted on staying for a quarter of an hour to half an hour, they could wait for reinforcements. As soon as the reinforcements arrive, the raiders will surely be finished.

But the three hundred special forces of Marin are no longer ordinary soldiers. They are a team of fierce men. Coupled with a wooden shield, you can arbitrarily impact the formation of those spearmen. So, everything is different ...

While most of the soldiers in the city gate cave were sleeping peacefully, Cage suddenly took 300 men under his arm. Without saying anything, he did not shout "Kill" and slogans, but rushed up silently ...

"Quick! Get up ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Luca, Anthony, an enemy has hit the northeast gate from the city, everyone is up to resist!"

With a cry, more than 400 veterans in the gate of the city got up one after another, armed with a spear, and began to wait in line ...

It is a pity that the 300 East Frisian special soldiers rushed in, each with a wooden shield. Relying on the wooden shield, they smashed the stings of the Danish spearmen, and successfully penetrated into the Danish veteran formation, holding a saber, and began slashing ...

Because it is difficult to turn with a spear in a small gate hole, when the East Frisian special forces approached, these elite spearmen became cups ...

In just 15 minutes, 300 special forces, relying on extremely skilled fighting techniques, easily solved more than 400 elite Danish infantrymen in the city gate cave that could not be displayed with a spear. Then, with the efforts of Cage and others, the large iron gate of the northeastern city wall, with a "creak" muffled sound, completely opened ...

Seeing this situation and this scene, Schwartz, with his horses ambushing outside the northeastern city wall, immediately commanded the army, and from the city gate in the northeast of Copenhagen, it poured into Copenhagen again like a tide ... js3v3
