Chapter 87: 1 point trick

The gates of New Münster were made of oak after all, and could not withstand the continuous impact of 18-pound iron ball shells. Therefore, from the first afternoon to the next morning, it took half a day to add up. The north gate of New Münster City was opened by a dozen short-barreled Karen heavy artillery from Marin ... …

Similarly, bricks and logs were piled up behind the gate. But is this useful? With great dedication, Donny Curry screamed and hurriedly picked up the iron-shielded door shield and carried a gunpowder barrel to the city gate. But Marin stopped him, because the defender holding the big stone upstairs was waiting.

So, Marin transferred a dozen three-pound guns and began to bombard the defenders on the north gate of New Munster. After a long day of bombardment, none of the defenders dared to show their heads before Marin ordered Donnie Curry to attack.

Doni. Curry is already a veteran of the blast door, so he easily buried the gunpowder barrel in the gate hole and covered it with many bricks. After igniting the fuze, Duny Curry picked up the shield of the door panel, put it on his head, and fled the city gate quickly ...

"Boom--" There was a loud noise and the north gate of New Münster was blown open. Like the last time in Jever Castle, after the oak door was destroyed, the bricks piled in the door began to "slide down", and the upper part of the gate was exposed ...

"Big shield soldiers, go up!" Schwartz shouted, and 100 soldiers carrying iron-covered door shields carried the door shields, rushed up, and took the lead from the empty part of the upper part of the city gate. "Climb" to the city. Behind them are the 200 two-handed swordsmen responsible for covering them.

These two-handed swordsmen are martial arts masters selected from the 5,000 mercenaries in Hamburg. Although the overall battle, Marin's army despised these mercenaries. However, when it comes to personal martial arts, the fighters from the rural youths of Marin still cannot compare with these experienced mercenaries. Therefore, in this city gate battle that requires personal bravery, Marin still enabled the two-handed sword master among the 200 mercenaries, and equipped them with chest plate armor and helmets with masks to protect them. And is responsible for certain offensive tasks.

In addition, Marin also has his own careful thinking. This time it was a joint operation. It would be silly if your army kept rushing ahead. These 5,000 burger mercenaries fought in the wild on a large scale, and Marin might not be assured of them. However, this kind of street battle into the city has high casualties, but it is not difficult. It is the best choice to use these good martial arts soldiers.

In the city of New Münster, there were only 500 regular troops, and the rest were all temporarily recruited. Depending on the city walls, these people may still have combat power, but after being attacked into the city, the people are useless. It is no exaggeration to say that those martial arts high-handed mercenary two-handed swordsmen are not a problem to fight a few people. Even in the face of the 500 veterans, they have an advantage ...

In this way, after a long battle, the 500 veterans in the city were wiped out. As for those strong people, they surrendered one after another. The defensive commander Hamilson was reluctant to surrender, so he died under the gun of the musketeer under Marin in the counterattack.

Hamilson's death, and most of the veterans died in battle, the people who were temporarily recruited immediately lost their fighting spirit, all put down their weapons and chose to surrender.

In this siege battle, Marin sent only 100 large shield soldiers to rush in front, and the other teams followed the mercenaries. Therefore, there were few casualties in the army under Marin's army, and only a large shield soldier was hacked to death. No one else lost. It was a mercenary in Hamburg, because Marin was sent in front to meet the enemy short soldiers, and dozens of people were killed and injured.

For this reason, the Hamburg army commander Weizmann expressed his dissatisfaction tactfully. After all, Marin clearly concealed selfishness and let the Hamburg mercenaries take the lead to die.

However, this question is untenable. Because, the 100 largest shield soldiers rushing to the front are East Frisian soldiers. Therefore, Weizman couldn't find a good excuse to express his dissatisfaction, and could only express his dissatisfaction euphemistically.

Who is Marlin? Pragmatic! After the influence of the thought of "interest first" in the future Chinese society, he didn't care about his face, what about shamelessness? I'm partial to my soldiers, what can you do? Moreover, Holstein was not Marlin. Therefore, Marin had already made up his mind, but any siege operation in the Principality of Holstein would choose to use Hamburg's mercenaries to take the lead. Of course, it is also inaccurate to say that they are to lead the battle. Because, at the forefront, was the Great Shield Soldier under Marin ... So, even if Weizmann wanted to question Malin, there was no excuse for the Great Shield soldier ...

Occupied New Münster, Marin was too lazy to enforce strict military regulations. Moreover, he also needs to give some rewards to the Hamburg mercenaries who charge in the front.

Of course, it is impossible for Marin to pay for the Hamburg mercenaries. After all, that's not his subordinates. Therefore, Marin thought of a very unethical reward method-allowing those Hamburg mercenaries who charged in the front during the siege to freely rob in the city ...

In fact, this is Marin's "generosity to others". Because this city, which belongs to the Principality of Holstein, will definitely not belong to itself in the future. Let Hamburg mercenaries go to robbery, and it is not their own or their future subjects who lost. Therefore, Marin generously gave the remaining 180 hands of the two-handed swordsman (the other 20 people died in battle) rushing in front of the 200 burger mercenaries to freely rob in the city as a reward for their bravery, time limit For a day.

Of course, this is limited to the 200 people who rushed to the front during the siege. Others are not allowed to be robbed. Who dares to do it in private, the law enforcement team is waiting to kill you ...

For this reason, Malint specifically asked Schwartz, who was an adjutant, to sign 180 permits and let them wear special clothes to avoid being "enforced" by the law enforcement team.

Moreover, Marin repeatedly asked them that robbery is OK, but it is strictly forbidden to kill, nor to allow strong X women, otherwise the warlords wait ...

That's it, under the supervision of the law enforcement team, the 180 lucky people, the early morning of the next day, began the happy time of "ordered to rob" ...

When the 180 mercenaries were "ordered to rob", Marin also quietly dispatched people to evacuate the official bank and granary in New Münster, under the name "Supplement of Military Supplies". In fact, these money and food have entered Marin's pockets ...

Marin regretted that he used to be the Virgin in Gluckstadt before. That was the capital of the Principality of Holstein, and there was a lot of money. It was a pity that he put too much emphasis on discipline at the time, and as a result, the money stored by the government was taken out and shared equally with Hamburg and Lübeck. Now, Marin has decided that in the cities within the Principality of Holstein, the official storage of money and grain should be put into his pockets first ...

In addition, for the merchants in the city, Marin also made a distinction. All Hansa merchants, belonging to the friendly camp, naturally want to protect. To this end, in front of the shops and residences of every Hansa merchant, Marin sent guards to organize the 180 "ordered robbers" to enter. As for other businessmen or civilians, they are all the objects of arbitrary robbery with 180 people.

That's it. By the next night, the 180 brave mercenaries had all kinds of belongings all over the body, making other Hamburg mercenaries enviable.

After all, only 180 people participated in the robbery, so that, on average, each person's income is more. If everyone grabs together, there may not be so many. But others dare not, after all, there are 20,000 people under Marin, they can not beat. If you do n’t have the permission to rob ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~, it is easy to be hanged by the military law department ...

In the evening, Marin also specially organized a group of Hansa merchants to recover the property stolen by the mercenaries. Although it was half price, it also made the mercenaries happy. In the end, each of the 180 mercenaries had seized property worth at least hundreds of gold coins, which was worth their salary for several years.

These pure mercenaries, they came out to sell their lives, isn't it just to ask for money? After seeing that the 180 people all made a fortune, they were inevitable ...

So, they found Marin or Schwartz one after another, saying that they are also very brave, next time they siege, they must let them be pioneers ...

Is the mercenaries under Marin. Although they are also mercenaries, because of strict discipline and no experience of robbery, they are not very hot. Besides, the treatment given by Marin is not bad, and there are rewards for his achievements, but he does not have to envy the 180 Hamburg mercenaries. Moreover, they do not have that kind of tradition and habits.

However, because of this little trick, Marin directly fully mobilized the enthusiasm of those 5000 burgers. No need to talk about the next siege, they will also scramble for battle.

Hamburg mercenary commander Weizmann had no choice but to do this. Although he didn't like Marin's behavior very much, it was undeniable that this move encouraged morale. Moreover, those mercenaries are not locals in Hamburg, they just hired them. Even if it is dead, Hamburg will not be too distressed. It's just that they are currently affiliated with Hamburg. Weinmann's calculation is a bit uncomfortable. Moreover, the city they robbed may also belong to Hamburg in the future ... But because the mercenaries in this era generally have the habit of robbing, Weizman is not easy to say anything. Otherwise, it is to block people's money and become enemies with the mercenaries ...
