Marin was a believer in the blitzkrieg, and although he was against fascism, it did not prevent him from admiring Guderian's blitzkrieg. The great powers that fell under the blitzkrieg www.biquge.info even included such powers as France.

You must know that it was by virtue of the "blitzkrieg" that the German army conquered Poland in 27 days, Denmark in 1 day, Norway in 23 days, the Netherlands in 5 days, Belgium in 18 days, and the great power France in 39 days......

Of these conquered countries, except for Norway, which was a weak country, the others were not weak countries......

For example, Denmark, which was conquered by the Germans in one day, has long dominated Northern Europe and is a famous Viking. Even in later generations, it can be regarded as a strong country.

It's just that the Germans moved too fast, and Denmark was not large. Therefore, under the sudden blow, the Danes did not even have a chance to react, and they died directly......

Only a country with a large area like the Soviet Union, because of the speed of the army's advance, was able to breathe a sigh of relief and did not fall under the blitzkrieg.

However, looking at Europe, a country as large as the Soviet Union is the only one, and there is no semicolon...... Even in the whole world, there is no greater ...... than the USSR

In the rest of Europe, the area is on the small side. Even France, which has a large area, is only 550,000 square kilometers, and it cannot last long under the impact of aircraft and tanks.

Of course, Marin does not have planes or tanks. But he has horses......

Moreover, Jävre is only a small place. The most important thing is that Yevre is not far from Aurich, and the total distance is only about 40 kilometers.

In order to speed up the march, Marin gathered thousands of horses across the country, so that 5,000 soldiers, one horse per person, was very convenient......

As for the grain and baggage, as well as artillery, Marin prepared a large number of ox carts to transport it. The speed of the ox cart is certainly not comparable to that of the horse-drawn cart, but it is better than the endurance, and the goods pulled are more and heavier......

At around 9 a.m., Marin completed the mobilization. Then, Marin took most of his soldiers, rode his war horses and horses, divided his troops into three routes, and began to rush towards Yevre, which was more than forty kilometers away......

More than 40 kilometers is the distance from Aurich to Jävre, and the distance from Orich to the south of Järvre is a little shorter. The distance to Whangelan, north of Jävre, is about 50 kilometres.

However, none of this is a problem. Because, Marin ordered that the whole army should move forward at full speed, and that there should be no need to care too much about horsepower......

What Marin pursues, in addition to speed, is speed......

At a distance of more than 40 kilometers, the war horse or the horse run down quickly, and it may take a break for a while, but it is not a big problem. Because, horses can also run at speeds of twenty or thirty kilometers per hour.

Marin spared no effort, and as a result, everyone worked together, and at about two o'clock in the afternoon, the middle army arrived at Jävre, and then surrounded the castle of Jävre......

At about the same time, the Southern Route Army also arrived at the southern border of Jävre and began to hold the main communication route. At around 3 p.m., the army also arrived in the unsuspecting town of Whanglan, north of Jävre.

Even, Whangland, a small and prosperous town, forgot to close the city gate because it didn't react......

The commander of the Northern Route Army, Stad, saw that the opportunity was in front of him, and without hesitation, he ordered the army to ride directly to the city gate......

After trampling on a large number of Yevre civilians crowded at the city gates, the Northern Route Army successfully took control of the south gate of the small town of Whangerang and engaged in a bloody battle with the counterattacking enemy forces......

When the defenders' counterattack was repulsed, Stader managed to lead the main force into the city......

However, Stader did not forget Marin's request to seize all the members of the Vilmken family, and sent cavalry to block the other three city gates, and intercepted anyone who escaped whenever he saw it......

Sure enough, several men rushed out of the east gate on horseback, trying to escape in vain, but were stopped by the cavalry. On first trial, it was really a member of the Wilmuken family...... And Baron Jävre, who was in charge of the city of Whangland, was Edor Anderson. Wilmken's cousin Smail. Wilmken, on the other hand, led hundreds of soldiers, who had not yet been divided and surrounded by the East Friesian army, to a rudimentary castle in the center of the city, and put up a stubborn resistance......

……

At the same time, when Stade invaded Whangland, the Chinese army led by Marin himself had just completed the siege of Jävre Castle......

Although it was the capital of the Barony of Jävre, the main core building was a castle. As for the street houses outside the city, they were not protected by the city walls. In the eyes of the Wilmkens, those untouchables could not afford to build walls for them......

Wangland, on the other hand, was built to protect commerce because it was the wholesale center of salted fish and supplies in the Barony of Jävre.

Jävre is also close to the sea, and there are many Frisian fishermen. Whangeraan, on the other hand, is the largest salted fish wholesale centre in Jävre. Here, every day, there are traders who sell the salted fish from the coastal fishing villages, wholesale it to Whanglan, and transport it to the inland areas for sale.

Because of the strict rules of the Middle Ages, meat was not allowed to be eaten for many times of the year. Therefore, salted fish, which can be eaten during fasting time, has become an important food for people. Therefore, any seaside country is generally not too poor. Of course, you can't make a fortune by selling salted fish. Only by developing maritime trade can we truly become prosperous......

When Stadt's army surrounded the castle in Whangland, Marin's side had just driven out the people of Jävre from the dwellings around Jävre Castle and concentrated their management to prevent them from causing chaos.

After all, it was the baron's residence, and the guards in the castle were very vigilant. After seeing the dust raised by the horses of the Marin army in the distance, the gates of Jävre Castle were immediately closed. This made it impossible for Marin to send troops directly to storm the city gates, as Stader did.

But Marin is not in a hurry, unlike attacking the city now. The opportunity to capture the city gate has been lost, so there is no need to force it again. Moreover, the 20 24-pounder Corhorn mortars used to bombard the castle, along with those iron ball shells, were on the ox carts behind, and they would not arrive until about tomorrow.

Therefore, Marin is not in a hurry to attack now. After driving the original inhabitants of the castle into several large courtyards to keep an eye on them, Marin first settled the troops in place. As for the horses that were tired of running, the soldiers took out the oats prepared in advance from the pockets around the horses' necks and fed them.

Then, Marin himself first chose a house in the Principle Castle, lived in it, and used it as a temporary headquarters.

Marin then divided the army into four parts and surrounded the castle of Jävre from four directions......

At this time, there were only 200 warriors in the castle of Jävre, and they would be destroyed in any direction. So, in any case, the defenders of the city were not capable of defeating the East Frisian army in either direction.

However, in order to prevent anyone from breaking through in the middle of the night, Marin still arranged open and dark sentinels on duty to closely monitor every move of the four city gates. Even, in order to prevent Edessard I from escaping through the tunnels, Marin was ready to send a horse team to patrol in the middle of the night......

Because the ox carts carrying the tents had not yet arrived, the soldiers of the Central Route Army had to squeeze in the houses around the castle first. However, several sentries were arranged to closely monitor the castle's movements in case of a night attack......

As for the Southern Route Army, it was divided into three groups, which occupied three separate junctions leading to the Oldenburg Count in the southern border area of Jävre. After occupying the junction, the commander of this road, Steindorff, sent a herald and ordered three people to dig up the road first to block the reinforcements of the Oldenburg country.

When the road was cut off, Steindorff began to order the construction of the camp and, of course, a number of houses were requisitioned......

There were many musketeers in the Southern Route Army, and Steindorff was born as a musketeer commander. This time, in the Southern Route Army, in addition to the infantry, it was the 300 black-shirted knights he brought.

Previously, in order to achieve the purpose of the blitzkrieg, Marin specially ordered all the soldiers who participated in the war to practice horseback riding for a long time. Although I dare not say that I am skilled in riding, I have no problem riding a horse. I really can't learn to ride a horse, so I have already been replaced......

However, in this era, because of the popularity of horse farming in Europe, soldiers did not come into contact with horses when they were farmers. Therefore, most people still know how to ride horses, which saves a lot of trouble.

Relying on lightning speed to rush forward, Marin completely caught Yevre off guard. The Jävre army, with the exception of the defenders of Jävre Castle, was defeated or captured......

Because of the speed, not only did the northern army of the East Friesian Lamberth rush into Whangland, but also made the Baron of Jävre. Wilmken didn't have time to send a messenger to Oldenburg for help. Even if you want to send it, it's too late now. Because, whether it is the Chinese Army or the Southern Route Army, they have brought many black-shirted knights to patrol the road south to Oldenburg. When you encounter a messenger, you will definitely be shot down with a carbine...... Marin once ordered that if you encounter a horse rider, if you refuse to get off the horse and be examined, you will shoot directly, whether you live or die......

In this way, by virtue of the rapid advance, Marin's army not only captured the important town of Whangland, but also besieged the castle of Jävre, and controlled the border road with the Earl of Oldenburg in the south, so that the news did not spread......

Next, it's time for the siege. When the artillery and ammunition arrived the next day, it was the moment when 20 large-caliber mortars bombarded Jävre Castle......
