If you want to take the Dietmarshin region, you must face 1,000 well-trained militiamen in the Dietmarshin area, and about 3,000 strong people. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

If it is a face-to-face hard shock, the 4,000 militia on the opposite side will definitely not be the opponent of Marin's army. However, Marin is also worried that the other side will use old methods, such as building a dam and then bursting the embankment to release water, and flood his army.

Therefore, before marching on Dietmarshin, Marin asked Sauer to scatter the reconnaissance troops, focusing on the rivers and dams in the Dietmarshin area, so as not to repeat the mistakes of the Danish army.

Then, Marin began to gather a large army and prepare to march into Hyde, the capital of the Dietmarchen region, in an effort to quickly march and surround Hyde City in the shortest possible time.

As Sauer's scouts made in-depth investigations, Marin unexpectedly discovered that the main ethnic group in the Ditmarshin area turned out to be Frisians......

The Frisians are widely distributed in the German North Sea region, from the Dutch province of Friesland to the west coast of Denmark.

For example, the western coastal area of the Duchy of Schleswig is dominated by Frisian fishermen. Unexpectedly, the Dietmarshin area in the south is also dominated by Frisians.

In fact, in this era, not only the coastal areas of West Frisland but also East Friesland were dominated by Frisians. The North Sea coasts of the Earl of Oldenburg, the Archbishopric of Bremen, the Duchy of Holstein and the Duchy of Schleswig are predominantly Frisian.

Even, among the Anglo-Saxons who moved to England that year, there were a large number of Frisians. Or, it can be said that the later Frisians were simply the group left behind by the Anglo-Saxons who moved to England......

So, in the Middle Ages, English and Frisian were so similar. Even, between the two, it is completely possible to communicate. It's just that the way the two are written is completely different. Frissi is written in German, while English is written in English. The difference between the two is somewhat similar to that of Inner Mongolia, which still uses the traditional Mongolian script, while Outer Mongolia, because of Maozi's colonization, uses a very funny Slavic alphabet. However, people in Inner and Outer Mongolia can communicate directly verbally, but they cannot communicate with each other in writing......

Marin has always claimed to be the co-master of the Frisians, and these Frisians, most of whom are familiar with the water and are good at fishing, are very good sources of sailors. According to intelligence, there are more than 20,000 people in the Dietmarshin area, most of whom are Frisians.

Therefore, no matter what, Marin is going to take down Dietmarshin. Not to mention its excellent location, the 20,000 Frisians alone are enough to make Marin's heart move.

In fact, another piece of information shows that Lübeck's support for the Dutmarchen region was important because of its ability to resist Denmark and not be annexed.

Whenever the Danish army was massed to attack Dietmarschen, the Lübecks would get information from Copenhagen early and send it to the Dietmarshin area as quickly as possible. When the Danish army arrived, the Frisians in the Dietmarchen region were already in battle.

The Battle of Hemmingstedt broke out before, and the Dietmarshin people were led by the commander Woolf after receiving information about the attack of the Danish army. Esbrand made a plan to flood the Danish army.

To this end, Dietmarshin's army voluntarily abandoned the capital of Hyde and retreated to the higher village of Hemmingstedt. Then, it attracted the siege of the Danish army, and then opened the floodgates and released water, drowning the Danish army countless ......

However, now that Lübeck is an ally of Marin, it is natural that he will no longer rule Dietmarshin's own combat intentions. Moreover, Marin's 20,000-strong army is now retreating and has not been disbanded, and attacking Dittmarshin at this time does not need to take time to mobilize at all, and can be directly entered.

After Sauer's reconnaissance troops figured out the situation in the Dietmarshin area, Marin did not care to appease the disgraced nobles who were about to be assigned to the city of Las Vegas, which did not yet exist, and left 5,000 men and horses to defend the Duchy of Schleswig, and then led an army of 15,000 to follow the road reconnoitred by Sauer's scouts and went directly to the Dietmarshin area.

First, Marin crossed the pontoon bridge prepared by the scout unit with a large army and crossed the river Ayder, the natural dividing line between the principalities of Holstein and Schleswig. Then, the army marched south and headed for Hyde, the capital of the Dietmarchen region.

In order to prevent the enemy from repeating his old tricks, Marin let 1,000 lancers go first, cut off the road from Hyde to the village of Hemminstätt in the south, and patrolled the nearby river to prevent the enemy from "flooding the Seventh" again.

The 14,000 men of the main force, carrying a lot of artillery, shells and food, rushed towards Hyde City unhurriedly......

In Hyde, the capital of Dietmarshin, an officer hurriedly rode into the city and galloped in the direction of the town hall. Then, despite sweating profusely, he rushed directly into the ruling Woolf. Esbrand's Office:

"Report, Lord Consul, the army of the East Friesian Lamber is about 10,000 people, and has invaded Dietmarshin!"

"What? More than 10,000 people? Why wasn't there any news beforehand? "Dietmarshin Peasant Republic Ruling Woolf. Esbrand was also a little panicked. Usually, before the attack on Dietmarshin, there would be a warning from Lübeck's people. This time, however, the Lübecks did not come to warn. Unprepared, the enemy came with more than 10,000 troops at once, making the so-called "resourceful" Woolf . Esbrand was also a little flustered.

"It is not very clear that the East Friesian Lamber Kingdom is said to have formed an alliance with Hamburg and Lübeck. The Lübecks are now allies of East Friesland, so they did not warn us. ”

"No matter, you go and call General Anriel over, and ask him to issue a mobilization order, and recruit the strong men of the whole country to assist in the defense. Then, looking for an opportunity to retreat to the village of Hemmingstedt...... "Woolf. Esbrand intends to repeat his old trick and drown the enemy in heavy waters......

"I'm afraid not, Lord Archon. When I came, the enemy struck out with a thousand cavalry, one man and two horses, and took control of the main road outside Hyde. Moreover, as far as I can see, those cavalry were not ordinary light cavalry, but heavily armored knights in armor and strong martial arts...... If our army goes out of the city, those 1,000 cavalry alone will easily destroy us...... Before, I had to rush into the city from the west of the city. The east and south of the city were now under the control of the 1,000 enemy cavalry......" said the officer with his head down.

Woolf. When Esbrand heard this very bad news, he was also depressed. However, he quickly made a decision:

"No matter, since flooding can't be realized, then I would like you to go to the towns and villages west of Hyde, and let them send more militia to help defend Hyde. By the way, let them come on horseback, and don't delay on the way. As soon as the enemy's main force arrives, there is no possibility that we will be able to connect with reinforcements......"

"If you can't beat ......"

"No ifs! Even if we can't beat it, we have to fight it. Of course, no, we can also negotiate with the enemy. But first, we have to fight a good fight. That way, even if there is a negotiation, you can take the initiative ......."

"Understood......" The officer quickly left and went to carry out the order.

And Woolf. Esbrand, on the other hand, sat at the table with a sad face, thinking about what to do. For Marin, Woolf. Esbrand is also more familiar. When Denmark helped the Earl of Oldenburg to force Marin to pay reparations, Woolf. Esbrand had even thought about forming an alliance with Marin. Because, he inquired a long time ago and learned that Marin is a military wizard with extremely strong ability to train and command troops, and it is said that he also invented a very powerful "Marin phalanx". But what he didn't expect was that in a blink of an eye, Marin not only sought revenge on Denmark, but also went directly to Copenhagen.

Obviously, the combat effectiveness of Marin's army is unbelievably high. At least, beat the Danish army to the point of crying dad and mother. Originally, Woolf. Esbrand was also happy that Denmark was unlucky. However, he was not happy for long, and the army of East Friesland turned to deal with Dietmarshin, so that Woolf . Esbrand was caught off guard......

More so Woolf. Esbrand's helplessness was that the other party seemed to be guarding against a repeat of his old tricks, using flooding, and actually sent cavalry a long time ago to block the road to the upper reaches of the eastern river. Esbrand's flooding strategy has lost its usefulness......

Speaking of which, Woolf. Esbrand can also be regarded as the "Zhuge Kongming" of Europe. Being able to defeat more than 10,000 Danish troops with 1,000 militia is definitely enough to go down in history.

Unfortunately, after the intrigues of flooding, a thousand militiamen faced more than 10,000 East Frisian troops who had just defeated Denmark, even the resourceful Woolf. Esbrand, too, was a little helpless. After all, the difference in strength is too great. Not to mention anything else, if there was no cover of the city wall, the 1,000 lancers in the east and south of the city alone could beat the 1,000 militia in Hyde City a hundred times, a hundred times, not to mention the main force of more than 10,000 troops......
