On the eastern border of Lyell County, the city of Oldenburg is not too far, less than 40 kilometers. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info horses run for an hour, rest for half an hour, and then run for another hour, and it's almost there. Then, feed some oats and you'll recover.

For this reason, before setting out on the expedition, each horse used by the army had a blanket around its neck, and more than a dozen catties of fried oats were placed in it. And the jacket around the neck of Marin's war horse Karl is more advanced, fried soybeans...... Who told Amerigo Island to send back a few bags of soybeans......

After the assembly, taking advantage of the faint moonlight from the crescent-like moon in the sky, 5,000 veterans stepped on their horses, armed with weapons, and galloped all the way in the direction of Oldenburg City......

Because the weapon is a large shield with a large door, the great shield soldier riding a horse is the most sinful. Therefore, Marlin specially equipped the accompanying 100 large shield soldiers with two horses. Because, the shield is quite heavy...... As for the other 100 shieldmen, they were sent to Hamburg by ship. They will join Schwarz's army outside Hamburg in the middle of the night...... Also, Dhoni. Ciri's demolition team was also very guilty, bringing a few powder kegs with them, and they also needed one man and two horses......

5000 cavalry, the march was very powerful, but not chaotic at all. This is because Marin has already trained to travel at night once before, and everyone has experience.

The team was led by the scouts under Sauer, who had to walk this road every night these days to familiarize themselves with the situation and prepare for the large army to serve as guides. After all this time, they have become very familiar with this path.

Led by the scout guides, the army took advantage of the moonlight to whizz by, and the sound of horses' hooves made the earth tremble. Although the manors that passed along the way were alarmed, none of them dared to come out to inquire about the news, let alone go to the direction of Oldenburg to report the news. Because no one is stupid, not to mention the danger of the night, as long as you see someone running in the direction of Oldenburg on horseback, you will definitely be hunted down.

In this way, Marin took a total of 100 shieldmen, 1,000 musketeers and 3,900 spearmen to gallop on horseback, and it took more than three hours to come to the outside of Oldenburg.

According to the previous arrangement, the army quietly went around the east gate of Oldenburg. Because, during the day, Marin had already sent people to declare war, and at this time, it was facing the west gate of the East Friesian Lamber, and the defense must be the most severe. Therefore, attacking from the east gate is the best option.

Then, with a large army, at a distance from the east gate, Marin rested for an hour and fed the horses with oats. After that, Marin took out the army's special double-shot cannon and threw one into the sky and exploded...... At the same time, everyone is on the horse again......

The 100 East Frisian scouts who had been waiting inside the east gate of Oldenburg immediately swarmed out of the nearby houses and killed the unsuspecting defenders of the east gate of Oldenburg......

At the same time, Marin's army began to ride their horses and approach the city gates. When they arrived outside the city gate, they dismounted, handed over their horses to the care of a small number of soldiers, and then began to quickly line up. Among them, 100 large shield soldiers are at the front......

The movement of the army outside the city alarmed the defenders on the city tower. However, by the time they reacted, it was too late. Because, the 100 scouts who attacked the East City Gate had already opened the East City Gate at this time......

Then, 100 large shield soldiers took the lead, holding a shield with a large door panel, and rushed into the city......

Marin suddenly remembered that he couldn't let the enemy escape. So, he immediately ordered 1,000 of his men to go to the north gate of Oldenburg to guard it to prevent the Oldenburg family members from escaping.

The city of Oldenburg is bordered by the river to the south and East Frysland to the west. In the event that the east gate is breached, there is a high probability that the opponent will flee north. Therefore, Marin sent 1,000 people to block people outside the north gate. In addition, Simon also went to 300 people. If someone breaks through at the West Gate, the people sent to the West Gate will take the initiative to release a double cannon battle and send a signal.

At this time, the city of Oldenburg was in chaos. There were only 1,000 defenders in the city, half of whom were on the city walls and the other half were protecting the royal palace in the middle of the city. And those residents, when they heard the shouts of killing in the middle of the night, did not dare to go out, but they were just jumping at home.

So, at this time, there were no people on the streets of Oldenburg. Therefore, Marin directly led more than 3,000 troops and quickly approached in the direction of the palace......

At this time, John V and other members of the Oldenburg family were awakened:

"What's wrong? What's wrong? Seeing the chaos outside, John V, who hurriedly got up, asked loudly.

"Lord Count, the East Frisian army is coming!" A palace guard shouted anxiously.

"What? So fast? They only made a war letter during the day...... "John V's face turned pale. At this time, the Oldenburg army was defenseless, and only the west gate blocked the gate in the city with things. The other gates are not ready for defense at all.

John V was still in a daze, Marin's army had rushed to the center of the city and quickly completed the siege of the palace. In addition, Marin also sent people to control the other three gates. When he learned that the inside of the west gate had been blocked by the Oldenburgers with bricks and wood, Marin was relieved to divide his men and horses to the north gate and the south gate to seize the city gate.

It is very easy to get from the inside of the gate, because the other party has no idea that there will be an attack from behind. In this way, the north and south gates were quickly captured, and only some of the defenders of the south gate escaped from the city, boarded small boats on the banks of the Hunter River, and fled. But according to the captives, those who escaped were ordinary soldiers, and there were no members of the Oldenburg family who Marin valued.

In fact, the members of the Oldenburg family basically lived in the palace compound and did not have a residence outside the palace. Of course, it is more like a royal palace than a large castle complex.

The largest castle in the middle is apparently the residence of John V. There are several small castles on the side, all of which are inhabited by the people of John V. However, for safety, several castles were within a tall enclosure and were guarded by a large number of troops.

When the North Gate was opened, 1,000 men and horses outside the North Gate also came in and participated in the siege of the Oldenburg Palace. In addition to the more than 800 soldiers guarding the other three gates and 300 people outside the west gate, the remaining 3,800 soldiers surrounded the Oldenburg Palace, which was only defended by 500 people.

And the 500 defenders on the city wall, from time to time, surrendered, tied down from under the city wall with ropes, and fled overnight. After all, they were facing 5,000 soldiers. If you can't win wisely, how many people are willing to fight to the death? Moreover, the most loyal Janissaries of the Earl of Oldenburg were all in the palace compound......

Thinking of the experience of Edessard I who had escaped from the tunnels, Marin waved his hand and called Sauer:

"Sauer, you send some scouts, with binoculars, to guard outside the city, if you see a well-dressed person riding a horse and running away, be sure to stay!"

Sauer apparently remembered Edessard I's escape, and immediately arranged for 200 scouts to ride out of the city on patrol.

But Marin didn't know that because Denmark was the big backer, the Oldenburg family members didn't even think about running away. So, they didn't dig any tunnels at all. At this time, the members of the Oldenburg family were in a hurry in the palace......

Marin did not attack at night, but waited until after dawn to let Dhoni . Ciri's demolition team stepped forward......

Still the same recipe, after using a sapper shovel to dig open the stone slab in front of the east gate of the palace, the demolition team dug a hole under the palace gate and buried a powder keg......

After a loud bang, the gates of the Oldenburg royal palace collapsed......

Then, a large shield soldier, holding a large shield, rushed in first, and smashed it with a large shield when he saw someone......

Marin's bodyguard, Karn, also had itchy hands, put on full-body plate armor, carried a mace, and killed him......

As for Marin himself, he did not go deeper, but chose to observe the battle with a telescope on the wall of the east gate of the palace.

After about two hours, most of the defenders in the palace were cleared. There were only a few dozen guards left, guarding the main castle where John V was located.

"Count Marin, I am John V and I ask for negotiations! Ask for negotiations! John V shouted from inside the castle. He was very scared, scared like his brother-in-law Edo. Wilmken died like that. So, he was cowardly and wanted to save his life through negotiations.

Hearing John V's cry, Marin was also happy. This is a war to destroy the country, you still talk about negotiations, is Lao Tzu a vegetarian? Where can you spit out the meat that reaches the mouth?

So, Marin ignored him at all and continued to give the order to attack.

When Dhoni. After Ciri's demolition team blew open the gate of the main castle of the palace again, Marin was in no hurry to attack it. He sent people to fetch a large amount of firewood and grass from the homes of nearby residents, lit them at the gate, and threw them into the castle......

John V was frightened, thinking that Marin was trying to burn him, so he hurriedly surrendered and demanded the treatment of a captive nobleman.

In fact, Marlin was just going to smoke them. It's just that there are a lot of wooden furniture in the castle, and it is indeed easy to cause fires, no wonder John V misunderstood.

Marin granted John V's request to be treated as a captive of the nobility, and he had no intention of killing him anyway. However, it was impossible for this man to rule Oldenburg again......

Of course, Marin did not rush to discuss the question of territory, but coerced John V into signing an order ordering the surrender of the city of Farrell. When John V refused, Marin immediately asked the male-faced Karn to take out a bloody knife and say that he would help him "cure" his blood......

In desperation, John V had no choice but to sign an order ordering the unconditional surrender of Farrell's defenders......

After obtaining the paperwork, Marin immediately asked Sauer to send his men, one man and two horses, to the outside of Farrell to find the team led by Stad.

In charge of attacking Farrell were the recruits led by Stade and the 3,000 mercenaries in Hamburg. At the same time, this team also brought a lot of heavy artillery and other baggage.

When Sauer's scouts arrived with the paperwork, the army led by Stade had not yet reached the city of Farrell, after all, they were marching on foot......

On the same day, Adler also led 2,000 elite East Friesian militia to attack two small cities in the Jävre region, Jävre Castle and Whangland......
