: 692th Maneuver at sea, around the enemy

A few days later, Marin ’s army also approached the south bank of the Tyne. But the scout ahead also brought back bad news-the army might not be able to cross the Tyne smoothly ...

Although Marin ’s number of horses is twice that of the Scottish army, but the Scottish army is on the north bank of the Tyne. If he guards the north bank of the Tyne with all his strength, Marin ’s army will be fatally wounded if he wants to cross.

After thinking about it, before the army reached the south bank of the Tyne, Marin ordered the army to suspend its advance ...

"Duke Marin, why stop the army?" Edward asked.

"Your Majesty, although we have many people, it is difficult to cross the Tyne. The Scottish army is on the north bank of the Tyne, and we will certainly not allow us to cross the river smoothly."

"Then ... what should we do?" Edwards didn't really understand military affairs.

"I think ..." Then, Marin found the map near Newcastle under his survey ...

Half a day later, Marin finally found a way ...

"Send a signal soldier, and quickly return to Grimsby Port, let them mobilize dozens of transport ships!"

"What do you mean?" Edward puzzled.

Marin pointed to the map and explained:

"Your Majesty, our army is now here, about half a day away from the Tyne River. Near our station, there is a small fishing village called Sunderland (here is a city in the future generations, and there is a mixed Premier League team, of course, belongs to Lift type), I plan to send a fleet to transport the army. The army is transported to a small fishing village in the north called Ashington. That small fishing village is a dozen miles (about 30 kilometers) north of Newcastle. But outside Newcastle, they suddenly appeared north of the Scottish army, beating them by surprise ... "

"Well ... it's a good idea, you are a military genius!" Edward had to agree with Marin's plan. The point is, he can't think of any good plan ...

However, after Grimmby's ship came to transport people, it was estimated that it would be a few days later. Therefore, Marin first led the army to the small fishing village of Sunderland.

Because the small fishing village has a long bridge dock for the small fishing boats in the village, Marin has to send troops to build a temporary dock. The thought of the small fishing village called Ashington might be the same. Marrington was a bit big. In this way, it is estimated that it will take two weeks to complete the outsourcing operation.

During this time, Marin also hoped to cause a little trouble for the Scots. So, Marin sent a signal soldier to ride on the south bank of the Tyne River and informed Lescott that he would select thousands of young men in the refugee camp on the river bank and cut down trees to make simple wooden stick spears. Training while scaring the Scots ...

The Scots must be nervous to see thousands of recruits training on the South Bank. In addition to the 3300 thieves before, the total number has already broken, and it is strange to not let the Scottish army be nervous ...

In fact, Marin only allowed these people to bluff, not really let them cross the river to fight. A group of farmers only really crossed the river to fight, and definitely gave the Scottish army a head.

However, their bluff behavior can greatly attract the attention of the Scottish army, so that the Scots have no time to look north and ignore Marin's army.

At the same time, in order to do a good job of confidentiality, to prevent the Scots from paying attention to the Marin army, Marin also made changes to the arrangement of the two horses of Koster and Maric-he sent people to follow the south bank of the Tyne to the west , Looking for the team of Coster and Maric. For the 900 horse thieves led by Coster, the tasks arranged by Marin have changed. These horse thieves no longer attack the Scots ’food road, but protect the news near Ashington from being leaked ... Once there are Scottish scouts Close to here, the 900 horse thieves are responsible for intercepting and killing, to avoid information leakage, and to protect the news of the landing of the Marin army from being leaked out ...

As for the 3000 thieves led by Maric, Marin no longer asked them to attack the Scottish military camp at night. Because, this matter was taken over by the main force of Marin. Their mission was to catch the scattered Scottish civilians when the main force of Marin hit the enemy camp ...

The 10,000 Army of Scotland brought 7,000 civilians with them. According to the spies, their station and the Scottish soldiers were not in a camp, but were stationed separately. When Marin's army impacted the camps of the Scottish soldiers, they were worried that these Scotsmen would run wildly. Therefore, it is better to let Maric take 3000 thieves to control those Scotsmen. Moreover, they are also competent ...

A few days later, the Port of Grimsby really sent dozens of transport ships over. According to Marin's request, the ships coming were not big. As for the 500-ton class warships, they stayed in Grimsby. Because, whether it is Sunderland or Ashington, it is a small fishing village by the sea, and there is no good port nearby. Marin was afraid to run aground for the ship that was too big.

After these ships arrived, Marin did not immediately let the soldiers board the ship. Instead, he photographed a ship and loaded 200 soldiers first. These soldiers are good at waterborne, and can skillfully build Changqiao Wharf. Marin picked them out and asked them to arrive in Ashington ahead of time to build a long bridge dock suitable for the fleet. Otherwise, dozens of "big" ships of one to two hundred tons will pour into small fishing villages like Axington, and there is no way to stop ...

After the 200 soldiers who were good at constructing the temporary long bridge dock boarded the ship north with their tools, Marin did not immediately let other soldiers board the ship, but waited a few days. After all, after the soldiers arrived in Ashington, they needed to log, and then build a temporary long bridge wharf. Moreover, this is still in the case of the help of local labor. If these 200 people work alone, it is estimated that it will take more than a month to get it done ...

In the next few days, Marin took the army to build Long Bridge Wharf in Sunderland while training with the soldiers. Among them, it is also mixed with wading landing training. It is July and August, the hottest time of the year. Therefore, wading and landing is nothing, but will feel comfortable. Of course, the real dry duck is best not to play like this.

The two legions in Marin's hands are one of the first German legions. Most of the soldiers are from the mountains of Wurttemberg and Alsace. Most of them are dry ducks. Therefore, Marin intends to allow these people to land through Changqiao Wharf.

As for the Fourth Army of Saqqara ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~, they are composed of Frisian officers and English soldiers. Whether it is a Frisian or an Englishman, they are all nautical people, and the soldiers are mostly familiar with water. Therefore, Marin decided to allow these soldiers who are familiar with water to wade and land in Axington in order to speed up the landing rhythm when the long bridge terminal is insufficient ...

A week later, Marin estimated that the Axington side was almost the same, and Grimsby had dozens of ships from the mainland of the Grand Duchy of the North Sea. Among them, there are more than 250 class armed merchant ships. After all, it is a 20,000-strong army, and there are no more than a hundred ships.

Marin led the army and began to board the ship to Ashington. In order to speed up the efficiency, Marin did not bring the people who transported the grain, nor did he carry most of the weight this time, but just let the soldiers take the rations for ten days, and then took their boarding ship.

Anyway, when the Scottish army is defeated, there is no shortage of food when entering Newcastle. Moreover, after fighting the Scottish army, Marin's army still has to go back to London. Therefore, Marin simply let the people of Zhuang with their weights and grains stand by in Sunderland, waiting for the army to come back and join them ...

With anxiety and excitement, Edward also boarded the ship, along with the army to carry out "sea maneuver", around the enemy, and launched a fatal blow ...
