After taking control of the sailors at both ends of the Copenhagen Bay, Marin suddenly remembered that the middle part of the Copenhagen Bay, which seemed to be a narrow strip, contained 80 Danish warships. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

So, after the rest of the soldiers arrived after dawn, they immediately selected 2,000 soldiers who could swim and went to receive those ships.

Because the sailors all disembarked and went to defend on both sides of the Copenhagen Bay, only a small number of veteran sailors were guarding the 80 warships at this time. In the face of the 2000 coalition soldiers who rushed in a rage, where are those old sailors who are opponents? Therefore, most of the old sailors who watched the ship chose to surrender. There are also fierce people who choose to resist, but in the face of the huge difference in strength, the recalcitrant ones are either killed or tied up. However, the sailors on three of the ships, seeing that they could not resist, simply took advantage of the fact that the coalition soldiers had not yet boarded the ship under their care, poured all the oil in the ship into the cabin, and then set the ship on fire...... After setting the ship on fire, these sailors jumped off ship and ran away......

Seeing the three warships that were on fire, the coalition soldiers who were in charge of receiving the warships were terrified. Because, if the warship catches fire, if it is not well controlled, it will burn to the nearby warship.

Fortunately, these warships anchored in the harbor were all anchored, and they did not move around. The commander, who had come to receive the ship, hastened to report the situation to Marin and the commanders of Lübeck and Hamburg.

Regarding the issue of the warship being burned, Marin was naturally not in a hurry. But Lübeck and the Hamburgers were in a hurry - it was their spoils!

So, two officers, Hermann and Weizmann, with a large number of men and sandbags on their backs, went to put out the fire......

However, it was still too late, and three ships burned anyway. Fortunately, when the wreckage of the three ships caught fire was about to drift away, Hermann and Weizmann sent a lot of spearmen to wait for those intact ships. As soon as he saw the wreckage of the fire floating over, he immediately resisted it with a spear several meters long. At the same time, the two also signaled the combined fleet on the surface of the sea to send sailors over......

After a busy day, the combined fleet on the sea finally sent a few hundred sailors and drove away the remaining 77 warships......

Marin expressed a moment of silence in his heart to the Danes, seeing the smiles of the Lübeck and the Hamburgers tearing their mouths apart, the Danish navy would definitely not be able to recover within ten years.

According to the originally agreed plan, some 8,000 prisoners of war remained among the 9,000 Danish sailors (the rest were hung up in the chaos of the night raid, most of them at the hands of their own men), and Marin was quickly handed over to Lübeck and the Hamburgers. That way, Marin doesn't have to pay for these guys out of his pocket.

According to the previously agreed plan, the 8,000 Danish sailors, including the 10,000 sailors captured in the previous naval battle, would be forcibly detained for 10 years by the two Hanseatic cities of Lübeck and Hamburg under the name of "mercenary".

Lübeck and Hamburg, however, would not allow these Danish sailors to control the ships in case they defected. In fact, because Lübeck and Hamburg were planning to build a grand canal connecting the two cities, these 18,000 Danish sailors would probably become coolies in the next ten years......

The 8,000 Danish prisoners were taken over by Lübeck and the Hamburgers, who used the sailors on board. Then, the 27,000 ground troops commanded by Marin were all freed, and then, under the command of Marin, the army quickly surrounded the city of Copenhagen.

The city of Copenhagen is not the city of Copenhagen in later generations, and the city of Copenhagen at this time is only a small part of the city of Copenhagen in later generations. Copenhagen was a metropolis with a total population of 2.03 million, including 600,000 in the city center alone.

At this time, Copenhagen was still a small city with a population of less than 20,000. Of course, this smallness is relative, and it is compared with the cities of later generations that it is "smaller" than the Chinese cities of the same period. And in this era, Europe is already a big city. At least, there is no bigger city in the Nordic region than Copenhagen.

Today, the city of Copenhagen is only a small area sandwiched between the Swan Lake of Copenhagen and the narrow Copenhagen Bay.

Because the southeast and northwest sides are long strips of water, the current city of Copenhagen is actually surrounded by water on both sides, and only the southwest and northeast are land.

Therefore, if Marin's army wanted to attack, it could only encircle Copenhagen from the southwest and northeast......

But when the army drove under the city of Copenhagen, Marin was surprised to find that the southwest gate of Copenhagen seemed to be ...... Appears to be irony......

Sure enough, after more than a dozen 18-pounder short-barreled Cullen heavy guns fired, the shells landed on the Copenhagen gates, making an extremely crisp metal collision sound......

"Uh...... Am I cracking this tactic? Marin was suddenly a little dazed......

These days, by relying on the method of artillery to break down the city gates, and then send demolition teams to completely blow up the city gates, Marin easily captured many cities. Therefore, he inevitably felt complacent in his heart, thinking that the siege war was nothing more than that.

When he encountered the Steel Gate for the first time, Marin was also a little helpless......

To be honest, Marin really didn't want to fight a regular siege battle. Because, if you fight like that, the casualties will be too great, and it will be like taking human lives. That's why he used his brains to invent the method of first blasting through the city gates, and then burying them in with gunpowder kegs to blow them up.

However, when the city gate became immovable, the new tactic invented by Marin automatically failed......

Through the telescope, Marin could clearly see that even if an 18-pound cannonball smashed into it, the heavy cast-iron gates would not move in any way. Therefore, if you want to blast through the steel city gate, you have not yet bombarded the actual point of the city wall.

Therefore, after bombing for half a day, Marin decisively ordered to stop this senseless shelling, first withdraw to the main camp, and think of another way......

Seeing the retreat of the allied forces, the Danish soldiers at the head of the city let out a shout of victory:

"Oh-oh-the enemy retreats!"

"Long live Your Majesty, the Iron Gate has really made the evil Earl Marin helpless!" Because of his attack on Denmark, Marin received the "honorable" title of "Evil Count" in Denmark......

In the tent, Marin ignored Lübeck and the commander of Hamburg, nor his own men, but held his cheeks and pondered, looking for weaknesses in the steel gates......

"Isn't it time to use the method of digging tunnels to blow up the city walls?" Marin thought.

But in the end, he also rejected the idea. Because, the method of digging tunnels to blow up the city wall is too terrifying. As soon as this law is introduced, the city wall will lose any meaning of existence.

Although Marin can use this method to blow up other people's walls, others can also use this method to blow up the walls of Aurich. If the enemy army attacked the city of Orich and used the method of digging tunnels to blow up the city walls while Marin was on the expedition, he captured Aurich and hurt Angela and Caesar, then Marin would have collapsed......

Therefore, Marin cannot use this uncontrollable method that can hurt others as well as himself. Because this method is too simple, it is easy for others to imitate. And bombarding the city wall with heavy artillery is something that ordinary people can't imitate. Because, other countries do not use iron to cast heavy artillery at all, only the technology of casting cannons with bronze. If they imitated themselves and cast so many heavy cannons in bronze, their court would have gone bankrupt......

What Marin didn't know, of course, was that after the end of the war, Spain and Portugal, two countries that had mastered the eastern shipping routes, had a boom in trade to buy cheap copper from India......
