Chapter 511: Outsmart Wittenberg (Part 2)

()

() & nbsp Of course, Marin's army is not really doing nothing. At the same time as the truce, Marin sent a large number of troops to assist the soldiers of Hamburg and began to hunt down the inland shipping sailors and their families in Wittenberg in the fishing village along the Elbe near Wittenberg.

After they were caught, all the inland navigation sailors were "packaged" by the Hamburgers and shipped to Hamburg. Even in order to cut off the possibility of the Saxon electorate's future rise in the shipping industry, the Hamburgers directly caught all the young people in the fishing village, and did not leave any kind of fire for the Saxon electorate.

& nbsp However, the Hamburg army and the Marin army are mainly active near Wittenberg, looted, and also the fishing village near Wittenberg. Therefore, they can only capture part of the shipping sailors of Wittenberg. But it also caused a huge blow to the electoral state of Saxony. Because the largest inland shipping port in the electoral country of Saxony is Wittenberg. Most of its domestic inland shipping vessels are also close to this side. Prior to the war, if it were not for the dry ducks of the Brandenburg army and the Swiss mercenaries, the soldiers of the electorate of Saxony could completely take the boat north along the Elbe and directly attack Hamburg.

Marin's men and Hamburg's army attacked the port of Wittenberg, taking most of the inland ships. At the same time, all fishing villages nearby were looted, and a large number of inland navigation sailors were taken away. Although this is not the whole of Saxony's electorate, it also accounts for at least about half. After this time, the inland navigation of Saxony's electorate must have been hit hard.

In addition, Marin also separated some troops to loot the small town near Wittenberg. Normal towns have no walls, and Marin ’s army can go directly to looting.

& nbsp Baron Larrick, the special envoy of the Imperial Parliament ...

Baron Larrick was not surprised at this, because that was normal. If Marin ’s army did nothing, stay in the barracks, and Barrack Larrick would doubt it.

& nbsp why? This is the convention of this era ...

& nbsp The so-called "thief does not go empty", the same reason, those mercenaries attack a place, there is no reason to return empty-handed. Marin gave a gesture of giving up on attacking Wittenberg, but if he did not **** and rob the village near Wittenberg, Barrett Larek would doubt that Marin was unwilling to die.

& nbsp However, Marin started to rob the nearby towns and villages, but Baron Larrick was relieved ...

& nbsp Because, Marin began to **** the robbery, indicating that Marin did not intend to continue to siege Wittenberg. These robberies can be seen as an act of fishing before retreating, which can't be more normal.

For this, Marin is exhausted. When he went to university in the past, Marin also studied psychology. Although I didn't study it very seriously, it was enough to try to figure out the ideas of people in this era.

In order to confuse the enemy, Malint arranged to go down to the nearby towns and villages to rob property and animals, and make a gesture of "fishing before retreating", which was shown to the Saxons.

After seeing the actions of Marin's army, Baron Larrick felt relieved and brought the news back to the city of Wittenberg and told the left John.

After hearing this, John also judged that Marin's army had indeed given up siege on Wittenberg. So John relaxed his guard. The specific performance is-the defense in the middle of the night has become lax ... In particular, the section of the city wall on the south side of Wittenberg near the Elbe River has a lot of sentinels in the middle of the night ...

& nbsp That night, Sauer ’s Scout Force felt different. So, Sauer quickly reported to Marin:

Master, their defense in the middle of the night has really relaxed a lot! So, are we going to do it tonight? "

After thinking about it, Marin said:

Wait, although the other party relaxed his guard tonight, I guess the nerves are still tight. If there is wind and grass, there will still be a quick response ... "

& nbsp like this, waited another three days, after the defenders of Wittenburg were completely relieved, Marin called Cage, oh no, it should be called Nicolas Cage now ...

Cage ... oh no, Nicholas, are you ready? "Obviously, Marin will use Cage's flying claw special forces again ...

Be ready to listen to your call! Cage shouted.

Very good, it's up to you tonight. In the middle of the night, the flying claws ascended the city from the south riverside wall, then opened the southeast gate and put the army into the city! "

Yes, the mission is guaranteed! "

& nbsp In the afternoon, after sending away Baron Larrick who came to Marin ’s barracks for daily inquiries, Marin immediately ordered to cook dinner. Moreover, the soldiers were ordered to rest immediately after dinner, recuperate, and wait for the midnight attack ...

& nbsp After a few hours of rest, the soldiers were awakened at more than nine o'clock in the evening, and began to check the equipment, and then began to gather ...

& nbsp After the assembly, Marin took the army and quietly marched towards the southeast gate of Wittenburg a few kilometers away ...

In the middle of the night, using the mature tactics of conquering Copenhagen, Nicholas Cage led his special forces unit, quietly boarding the riverside wall south of Wittenberg. Then, the old tricks are repeated, using the claw-hook rope to tie down the inside of the wall. In the end, they crossed the street and went straight to the inside of the southeast gate of Wittenberg ...

& nbsp Because it was determined that Marin ’s army would not be attacking the city, the defender of Saxony was very lax these days ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ In the middle of the first day, John did make some preparations. But Marin did not send someone to launch an attack that night. Therefore, the Saxons' final preparations did not work until ... Marin's army really came over ...

After easily resolving the more than two hundred defenders inside the southeast gate of Wittenberg, Cage and his special forces men began to clean up some thick logs that touched the gate inside the gate. After Cage and his men cleared the debris inside the city gate and opened the southeast iron gate, the Saxon army in the city reacted. It's a pity that it's too late. When they sent people to reinforce the southeast gate, the main force of the East Frisian army had already poured into the city from the southeast gate ...

Speaking of it, if the defenders in the city, if the tens of thousands of veterans of Saxony before sending troops, may still be able to take advantage of the small number of East Frisian troops pouring into the city gate, they can force out the enemy forward And close the city gate again.

However, at the moment, the Saxon defenders in the city had only 3,000 regular soldiers, and the other 8,000 were all temporarily recruited militiamen.

& nbsp Those militiamen, relying on tall and strong walls to defend the city, can still fight. But without the support of the city walls, they were no longer opponents of the regular army.

Therefore, the two thousand Saxon militia who came to the southeast gate were quickly beaten down by the East Frisian army that broke into the city. Moreover, militiamen are militiamen, and their reaction speed is too slow. It's too late to wait for them to send people to reinforce the Southeast Gate ...

After the & nbsp, more East Frisian troops poured into the city and launched an attack in the direction of the Wittenberg Palace. Because, according to the newly captured prisoners of war, most of the regular army of Wittenberg and the Johns are in the royal palace of Wittenberg ...
