King of German Mercenaries - Chapter 288
Marin looks down on Prince George. As a powerful heir of the Principality of Saxony, Prince George’s ability is actually very ordinary, far worse than his old-fashioned dad.
布 Albrecht, Duke of Saxony, lost his boss’s strength before winning West Frisian. However, in the hands of George, for more than ten years, he was forced to run out of the Principality of Geddes and finally sold West Frisian to Charles V.
You know, in terms of national power, the Duchy of Gerdes and the Duchy of Saxony are too far apart. Apart from that, the Principality of Saxony is an important part of the second largest business circle of the Hanseatic League, and the fiscal revenue of the Principality of Gerdes is far incomparable.
Although the Principality of 格德斯 occupies the fertile land at the mouth of the Rhine, it is only an agricultural country. How can the financial status of the agricultural country be compared with the industrial and commercial country? Holding a generous amount of industrial and commercial taxes, but was finally disgraced by the princes of an agricultural country, George’s ability was really poor.
You know, now is the age of mercenaries, money is king. Whoever has more money can hire more troops. It can be said that the army that Saxony can call is definitely not comparable to the Duchy of Gerdes. Well, George’s failure to defeat the Duchy of Gerdes is obviously a matter of his ability.
事实 And the facts have proved this. After seeing Marin bring 6000 troops back to help, Prince George was frightened and forgot to respond.
Then, Marin’s army quickly broke through the Saxon army in the south of Emden, recaptured the port of Emden, and controlled the ships in the port to prevent the Saxons from escaping by boat.
Then, Marin sent the main force to the east of Emden, where the handsome flag-bearing George was, and besieged …
In fact, the morale of the Saxony army has fallen to freezing point before this battle is fought. Because Marin was able to bring back the army, it proved that the Duke of Saxony failed on the front line.
In a panic, the idiot George forgot to gather the army surrounding the city of Emden to resist. Therefore, in each direction, the Saxony army has only about 1,000 men. Therefore, Marin with 6,000 people only needs to attack a thousand people at a time.
When more than 5,000 soldiers and horses surrounded more than 1,000 Saxon Groningen garrisons outside the East City, the timid George surrendered, and after a little resistance, he surrendered honestly.
The head coach has surrendered. The Saxon army in the north and west of the city are still engaged in hair? Therefore, the Saxony troops in the north and west of the city also surrendered.
In this way, Marin didn’t waste much time. In a long time, George and his 4000 Saxon army were taken care of. To be honest, if these 4,000 Saxon troops are gathered together and led by a more powerful commander, it is not easy for Marin’s 6000 people to take them down.
Because Marin’s army is good at defense but not good at offense. This time with the Duke of Saxony, if Marin did not take advantage of the opportunity of the Duke of Saxony being destroyed by artillery shells, coupled with the use of Saxon’s collapse to attack the enemy, Marin could not defeat the Saxon army in just one day.
The 4,000 Saxon army led by Prince George are all regular troops. If they gather together to defend, even if there are many Marin people, it will take a few days to win.
But who made George too arrogant? Before he could win the battle, he crossed the river in advance and surrounded Emden with four parts, giving Marin every chance to break. If Marin is in George’s position, when the Saxon army in the south of the city is attacked, it will certainly take the men and horses to the north and merge with the Saxon army in the north. Then, summon the Saxon army in the west to defend on the spot. However, George, who was not smart enough, was stupid, watching Marin finish packing the Saxon army in the south of the city, and then surrounded him …
After taking down the Saxon army surrounding Emden, Marin did not rest, but let Adler take care of the captives, while himself, with the important captive of the army and George, boarded the boat and crossed the river to Georgia Roningen …
Groningen is now under George’s control, and the defenders in the city are also George’s men. Marin controls George’s ace, and naturally cannot be wasted …
The next day, Marin took George to the city of Groningen, causing great confusion in the city …
At first, George refused to order the defender to open the gate, but Marin was not vegetarian. Marin put on a fierce look, took out a sharp knife, and made a bloodstain on George’s neck, making a fierce look to kill him on the spot.
George collapsed, as a last resort, he began to loudly order the generals to open the gates …
The Shouchengcheng officer was originally George’s knight, so naturally he couldn’t watch George being killed. In desperation, he opened the gate of Groningen …
Then, Marin entered the city with a large army …
Of course, Marin didn’t have a brain that was enough to indulge his soldiers to rob. He first figured out the distribution of forces in the city and knew which big aristocrats owned certain shops …
Then he hoisted the black cross flag to the properties belonging to other big nobles, reminding the soldiers not to offend. Then, organized looting began …
Alas, Marin ordered that no one should be killed unless he encounters someone who resists with a weapon. Moreover, strong X women are absolutely not allowed … At the same time, when looting ordinary people, they are not allowed to grab food, even if the other party has more food ~ www.mtlnovel.com ~, they can only rob at most half … Finally, it is absolutely forbidden to rob the poor …
The reason for this is because Marin wants to occupy West Frisian in the future. Therefore, Marin did not want to avenge the locals. Otherwise, when he takes control of this place in the future, he will face social instability.
In addition, Marin specifically requested that all the livestock, carriages and artillery in the city, and the bronze that made artillery belonged to the must-grab category …
For two days in a row, except for some big shops, Groningen suffered a certain degree of looting. But Marin is very precise, the most elegant of the medieval robbers …
During this period, Marin’s men also captured Kanu, the illegitimate son of the Sexner family, who used the Principality of Saxony as an excuse to interfere in East Frisian. After catching it, Marin was too lazy to talk nonsense and hanged Kanu directly. Marin has never relented to those who threaten his position.
Two days later, Marin ended the looting of Groningen. Then, he changed from a robber to a “philanthropist” and began to use the food he grabbed to help the poor and orphans …
Then, Marin left a phalanx to stay in Groningen, and many others were sent out of the city and went north to flee the Frisian fishermen on the sea …
For Marin, developing the navy is an important square matrix. Therefore, being able to control more fishermen and facilitating their selection of sailors …
After arranging everything, Marin returned to Orich with the people of the First Front as guards …
At this point, the fierce war between Saxony and East Frisian finally came to an end. As a result, the outside world was shocked. Marin, who was originally unfavorable by everyone, not only won, but was a big victory, and it took such a short time to make everyone unexpected …
