As for why Commander Roman was so bold and dared to do such a big case in East Friesland, the main reason was that Roman was not optimistic about the outcome of Marin's operation.

Because, the 50,000 army that Marin faced this time had 20,000 Swiss mercenaries! Out of blind confidence in the combat effectiveness of the Swiss mercenaries, Captain Roman thought that Marin had lost.

Once Marin loses, it is still unknown whether Marin will be able to keep the land of East Friesland, let alone take revenge on him. Therefore, based on the judgment that Marin would be defeated, Roman ordered a large-scale robbery in his estate in East Friesland on the west bank of the Ames River after seeing the benefits. If it weren't for the fear that the tens of thousands of horses of the Second Legion who were said to have stayed on the mainland would come to settle accounts with him, he might have ransacked the East Coast region by the way......

Moreover, this time he also made a big profit. You know, but those 10,000 bags of rye weigh 1 million pounds. Even at the wholesale price of 0.7 pfennig per pound, it is worth 11,600 gold coins. Together with the coins, salt, silver and bronze utensils, cloth, cooking oil and other valuable materials, they were all sold, and the total value was estimated to be more than 15,000 gold coins.

For a mercenary group of 4,000 people, this is definitely a lot of wealth. In particular, it's just a windfall, just a snap of it.

In the city of Lübeck, when Marin received the information from Kohler, he was furious:

"I'm going to kill this bastard named Roman! This guy has to pay with blood! ”

But after calming down, Marin smiled:

"Hey, I'm worried that I can't find an excuse to turn against the Duchy of Godes. This fool named Roman sent an excuse to the door, it was best if Charles II didn't know it, and when the time came, it would be better to catch him off guard! ”

Marin had already thought about annexing West Friesland. It's just that he was an ally with Charles II before, and Marin is still thinking about how to find an excuse to turn his face. No, this stupid man named Roman took the initiative to send an excuse. However, although Marin thanked him in his heart, he would not let this guy go. After all, this guy is burning and looting on his own territory. In short, this guy must die......

……

At this time, near the city of Riber, in the northwest of the Duchy of Schleswig, something big happened......

Although he drank too much that night, he vomited and vomited most of the poison of "Canterella". However, there was still a small half of the poison that penetrated deep into Prince Christian's body.

The end result was that seven days later, Prince Christian was still poisoned. Although he died without poison, Prince Christian was still rolling in agony on his hospital bed......

Because the poison attack was violent, the young Prince Christian, overnight, lost his hair and his face became haggard and terrifying. Even, half of the teeth were lost......

Although he struggled to survive, Prince Christian was temporarily and completely incapacitated, and he was unable to walk normally without a month of recuperation.

He was the commander of the Danish army, and the commander was poisoned, and the attack of the Danish army naturally stopped.

It's just that Saqqara's army did not attack in time......

Why? This is because, Saqqara's belief that as soon as Prince Christian is poisoned, we will attack, doesn't this make it clear to tell people that "the poisoning has something to do with you?" ”

Therefore, Saqqara did not attack on the seventh day after the poisoning, but on the tenth day after the poisoning, that is, three days after Prince Christian's poisoning, he suddenly launched a night attack on the Danish camp......

At this time, Prince Christian was still resting in bed. Although he didn't die, he lost most of his life. Now, Prince Christian can't even eat ordinary food, and can only eat some liquid food such as meat porridge. And in the Danish camp, people are also panicking.

After Saqara's army of more than 10,000 launched an attack on the Danish battalion, the Danes were thrown into disarray. The officers wanted to ask the commander to decide, but the commander was still lying on the hospital bed.

Several adjutants disagreed, but before they could discuss it, the gates of the camp were breached by the English mercenaries of Saqqara.

"Fight for meat!"

The battle cry of the English mercenaries was very strange, which was the result of their usual training. After shouting this slogan, the English mercenaries were full of fighting spirit and invincible......

Stared at by a group of English mercenaries who were desperately training for meat, the Danes, who were in a daze in the middle of the night, were suddenly deflated.

There were also some North Frisians in the Danish army, who could understand English. But after understanding the slogans of the English mercenaries, they were terrified......

Why? Because, they mistakenly think that the English mercenaries are man-eating demons. Looking at the red eyes of them, the North Frisians in the Danish army thought that the other side was going to eat their own flesh......

So, the men fled in fright. Then, quite a few Danish military camps were in disarray......

It's just that after the castration training of the Swiss, the 20,000 Danish army did not collapse immediately. Because, they are specially trained to defend against night attacks.

Because, the Danes also know that Marin is a master of night attacks, how can he not be guarded?

Unfortunately, in the last two or three days, because Prince Christian almost died after being poisoned, the Danish army panicked. Therefore, despite the large number of people, they were still pressed and beaten by the 15,000 army led by Saqqara, and defeat was only a matter of time.

This was mainly due to the fact that Saqqara sent a crack force to divide and surround the Danish battalion and prevent the Danish soldiers from gathering. If it was not possible to form a large formation, the Danish army, even if it was more numerous, did not bomb the camp, but it could not defeat the more orderly and tightly formed East Frisian army.

After dividing the Danish battalion into several large pieces, Saqqara began to command the large army, concentrating superior forces, and clearing the various camps where the enemy troops were concentrated, one by one. Victory, it's only a matter of time......

Seeing that there was no way to return to the sky, the adjutant general Maxim made up his mind, and with a team of cronies, Prince Christian, who was carrying the disease, took advantage of the chaos to rush out of the west gate of the camp under the desperate escort of more than 3,000 horses in the headquarters.

Then, instead of immediately leading his troops north, General Maxim ran directly to the western port, found a large ship, put Prince Christian on board, and sent his men to sail to the Danish port of Esbjerg, a little north. After all, with Prince Christian's now frail body, walking overland and sitting in a bumpy carriage, it is estimated that he will die halfway through. It's better to take a boat, at least not as bumpy as a carriage......

And himself, with the remnants of more than 2,000 men, retreated north overnight along the land route to Esbjerg and Prince Christian.

After hours of fierce fighting, by daybreak, the Danes were defeated, despite being trained to defend against night attacks. With the exception of the more than 2,000 people of General Maxim and Prince Christian, who escaped, the others were either killed or captured. And Saqqara's army, with its own losses, was just over three hundred men. And the Danes, killed and captured in battle, amounted to more than 17,000 people......

The Danes were trained to defend against night attacks mainly by putting their weapons in their accounts, and the soldiers slept as well as possible. Those junior officers also slept among the soldiers and did not live alone in the officer quarters. Only high-ranking generals will be treated as a separate tent. In the event of a night attack, the soldiers immediately took up their weapons, and the soldiers of the same unit in the nearest tent quickly gathered close together, and under the leadership of the grassroots officers, formed a formation to protect themselves.

If the number of enemy troops attacking at night is small, then the Danish army will be squeezed into the camp by the self-defending Danish army. Then, according to the training method, the junior officers will move slowly, and slowly converge with the rest of the army to form a real large formation. As the armies converged, the night raiding armies would eventually be surrounded by the assembled Danish army, and then wiped out.

This method was specially designed by a talented officer named Fabian in Switzerland to counteract the tactics of Marin in accordance with the characteristics of Marin who was good at using a small number of troops to conduct night raids. Fabian was also one of the main instructors of the Danish training army, and was a brilliant military theorist who was well known in Switzerland.

But alas, there were too many enemy troops in this night attack. Despite the tactics of defending themselves against night raids, the 15,000-strong army of Khakqara directly divided and surrounded the Danish army. The tactics of forming a formation close to each other to protect themselves became the biggest weakness of the Danish army. Because of the tactic of forming a formation in the vicinity to protect itself, the army of the Danish battalion was divided into more than a dozen pieces. Although each piece has decent defense. However, this also distracted the forces. If you are dealing with a small group of night attack troops, you can naturally use the space squeezing method to gradually converge, and then besiege the night attack troops of the enemy army that has broken through. It can be used to deal with a large number of enemy forces that take advantage of the situation to divide and surround themselves, and this tactic is basically to give people a head...... Therefore, the Danish army was easily cleaned up by Saqqara's tactics of dividing and surrounding, and then concentrating superior forces to clean up piece by piece......

In clearing the small phalanxes of the Danish army that had formed to protect themselves, Saqqara's tactics were brutal - he ordered his men to push hundreds of Yu Dayou's wheelbarrows full of spears and ram into the small phalanx of the Danish army. The Danish spearmen were not as long as the chariots were long. Plus the huge impact of the chariot rushing up. They were either skewered on skewers by chariots filled with spears, or they were evaded...... Then, as the chariots continued to storm, the small Danish phalanx was naturally disorganized. Then, Saqqara concentrated his superior forces and rushed from all sides to the small Danish phalanx, which had been disrupted by the formation...... Once the formation is chaotic, the Danes, who have formed a formation to protect themselves, will naturally not be able to withstand the fierce impact of the soldiers under the command of Saqqara, who is absolutely superior in numbers, and there is only one way to go......

……

When he learned from his captor that Prince Christian was not dead, Jim slapped his head with remorse. It is no wonder that the Danes did not collapse and were able to resist for several hours. It turns out that their boss is not dead. So, the Danish army was just panicking, not a psychological breakdown......

In addition, the Danish army had been strictly trained to defend against night raids, so Saqqara's army fought more difficult.

It's just that because everyone is wearing double-layer mahjong mat armor with good protection, the casualties are not very large. Many of the Danish spearman's attacks were blocked by double-layered mahjong mats. In particular, the outer layer of mahjong mat armor is protected by iron sheets...... Although more than 300 people were lost, the loss of the other side was more than 17,000 people. Of course, the loss of more than 300 people was mainly due to too many recruits. After statistics, Saqqara found that most of the more than 300 people were English mercenaries who went to war for the first time. As for Woolf. Of the five thousand veterans sent by Esbrand, only a dozen were wounded, but none were mortally wounded. And the reason why there were many casualties among those English mercenary recruits was because some of them rushed too hard and rushed into the crowd of the other party. In the face of the spears stabbed by Danish soldiers from all directions, it was really difficult to escape......

Fortunately, although Prince Christian was not poisoned, the Danes lost, and they lost completely. Although more than 2,000 people fled, they were given two guts, and those men did not dare to turn back and provoke the army of East Friesland. Because, they have been scared out of their hearts. Moreover, the number of opponents is too small......

Anyway, although the process does not match the script, after all, Prince Christian was not poisoned, but the result is still perfect. After all, the army of East Friesland wiped out this large Danish army at a very small cost.

Next, the main force of the army went south to support the battlefield of Lübeck......
