Over the next few days, Marin's men began to plague Danish villages on the island of Zealand. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThese soldiers who were sent out were all veterans of East Friesland, and they were also very particular when they plagued the Danish people.

In fact, unlike the mercenaries in Lübeck and Hamburg, these East Frisian veterans don't really kill innocents. But they would test their reactions in front of the young Danish peasants, molesting their wives, beating their children and parents.

If the Danish peasant had chosen to be cowardly and not resist at all, then the East Friesian veteran would have chosen to beat the man and rob him of his property.

However, if this man has a fierce personality and chooses to protect his family at all costs, then well, it's you...... Then, this unlucky guy will be captured, and his family will also be controlled.

There are few serfs in this era who have the spirit of resistance. Therefore, after seven days in a row, the veterans captured 200 young Danish serfs who were more protective of their families.

Marin then asked Schwartz to give the 200 young serfs simple combat training, and let them see their families often.

However, in order to deter these 200 Danish young men, according to intelligence, Marin found some of the Danish young and strong family members who chose to defend the city wall with the Danish army after climbing the city wall, including their parents, wives and children, and pulled them under the city wall.

Then, some of the local youths who had joined the Danish army at the head of the city watched with horror as their families, from their grandfathers and grandmothers to their infant children, were pulled under the walls. Then, brutally executed by a group of executioners.

For a while, the screams of the elderly, weak, women and children resounded outside Copenhagen. On the spot, many local young men who had climbed the city and joined the Danish defenders passed out at the head of the wall. Because, their families, were brutally murdered......

Everyone present was frightened, before, several officers jokingly said that Marin's strategy was a "vicious Trojan horse plan", but they also did not expect that Marin was so vicious that he did not spare even the elderly and children...... You know, all the people who are killed in the city today are old people, women and children. Even the infant baby was poisoned.

Therefore, even as invaders and battlefield veterans, many people in the coalition army were frightened to the core......

Even Marin himself was frightened. Although, this decision was made by him. However, more than 100 old and weak women and children were executed in public, and listening to their screams, Marin himself was frightened.

In fact, this is not the first time Marin has done such a thing. Previously, outside the city of Riber in Jutland, Marin had killed a group of noble families. However, this is the first time Marin has done the killing of civilian family members. The miserable howls of the more than 100 old and weak women and children before they died left a psychological shadow on many people present. For a long time after that, many of those who visited the massacre often had nightmares.

However, the most frightened were the 200 Danish serfs who were selected as "Trojan horses". They witnessed the tragic death of more than 100 elderly and weak women and children, and some of them fainted with fright on the spot. Some people are simply scared to pee.

What scared them even more was still to come, Marin told them through a translator. If they are unwilling to help open the city gate in the middle of the night after they go up the city wall, then their families will die similarly......

What Marin didn't expect was that the stimulus was probably too strong. Of the 200 Danish farmers, more than a dozen of them were directly frightened crazy.

Marin had planned to let the dozen or so crazy Danish peasants go, but what he didn't expect was that others began to imitate them. So, Marin once again hardened his heart and executed the dozen or so really crazy people and a few fake crazy people, as well as their families, in front of the remaining more than 170 people......

At this time, Marin was probably stimulated by blood and became a little crazy. He frantically shouted at the remaining hundred and seventy young Danes:

"Either help me open the gates of Copenhagen or watch your whole family die before your eyes! If Copenhagen is captured and you are still alive, I will reward you with a manor house so that you can rest assured of your lord. Even if you die in battle, your family will receive a large pension and be taken back to East Friesian Lamb without worrying about the back arrangement. ”

"But if you dare to surrender to the Danish defenders, or leak the news. Your family will all be put to death. You yourself, after the city of Copenhagen is broken, will also be killed! ”

Looking at Marin, whose eyes were glowing red and a little crazy, the remaining more than 170 Danish serfs present seemed to see a demon coming from hell......

A few days later, Marin placed 50 cannons outside the northeastern walls of Copenhagen and fired several rounds at the walls. Then, the defenders of the city were cleared.

The whistling iron ball skipped over the head of Copenhagen and smashed the heads of the Danish defenders who dared to show their heads, or other parts of the upper body. For a moment, blood gushed out, and the death was extremely miserable.

Then the Danish defenders did not dare to take the lead. At least, when the Allied artillery cleared the city, none of the Danish defenders dared to take the lead.

And the 176 young Danish serfs, after 10 days of training, gradually became bolder. Success or failure depends on their performance......

In order to attack the northeastern city wall, the coalition army drove a total of 2,000 Danish young men to use as "cannon fodder" and began to climb the city wall. Then, in order to cover the 176 Danish young men, Marin also used a lot of money to coax 200 mercenaries from Lübeck and Hamburg, who were highly skilled in martial arts, to change into farmers' clothes, and mix among the 2,000 Danish serfs.

Unlike the 2,000 Danish peasants with hoes and sickles, these 200 mercenaries all wore one-handed swords. If they are sharp-eyed, they can see through their details at a glance, and know that they are farmers in disguise, real soldiers.

In fact, Schwartz and others objected to Marin's arrangement. They thought that if they did this, they would definitely be found out by the Danes. These 200 people, even if they climbed the walls, would have been killed by the Danes.

However, Marin sent these 200 men to send them to their deaths, and then, to cover the real killer move - the 176 Danish serfs......

Previously, Schwartz sent the Danes to climb the city wall as cannon fodder, because a large number of Danish young people turned against the water, and this tactic was considered a failure. If this tactic is still coming, the Danes will definitely be suspicious.

Therefore, Marin had previously killed the families of some of the anti-water activists in front of the Danish young men who were anti-water in the city. It seems that this is more like a deterrent to the Danish youth who will climb the city wall next, and it can be regarded as a kind of cover for this operation.

In addition, the 200 mercenaries who were regarded as outcasts in Lübeck and Hamburg were actually flaws that Marin deliberately let the Danes discover.

When this new group of Danish young men climbed to the top of the city, the Danes would certainly communicate with them. The 200 selected mercenaries did not speak Danish at all, and as soon as they communicated, they would be exposed, and then they would wait to be beaten to death by the Danish army......

The death of these 200 men, however, would have reassured the Danes that Marin's ruse had failed......

But in fact, the 200 mercenaries were deliberately given to the Danes by Marin to kill. The 176 Danish youths who are regarded by the Danes as their own are the real killers......

Sure enough, after the fierce siege began, more than 2,000 Danish young men who were forcibly driven out, most of them climbed to the top of the city. However, the Danes were not stupid and began to communicate loudly with the "Danish youth" who climbed up to the top of the city. And then, the 200 German mercenaries, just like that, were exposed......

Among these 200 people, there are also those who are quick to see, and they climbed down the ladder just now and quickly climbed down, saving their lives. However, most of them were captured or killed by the Danes......

"It turns out that Marin's demon is fighting this ghost idea! It's a pity that I saw through it! Conathan, the general of the defenders of the Northeast Wall, said with a smug expression. Then, he wrote the matter in a report and reported it to the command.

In the eyes of the Danes, Marin clearly wanted to use the 200 German mercenaries to blend in with the Danish young men who were fighting against the water, and then find an opportunity to control a section of the city wall to cover the follow-up troops to enter the city. Or, open the gates.

However, after careful screening, the German mercenaries were found. And the other Danish young people who are anti-water can prove that they are real Danes. Even, in Danish cities, many people still have acquaintances among them, and it is very convenient to prove their identity.

However, the Danes could never have imagined that among these "own people" there were enemy spies......

In the middle of the night, 150 of the surviving threatened Danish men crept out of the makeshift camp at the foot of the city walls and into the northeast gate......

Originally, 176 people climbed the city wall together, but 26 people fell directly from the city because of an accident. Some fell to their deaths on the spot, while others fell and were injured. Fortunately, 150 people managed to climb up.

In the evening, when arranging the camp, these 150 people also deliberately chose an open space near the northeast city gate as a campsite.

In the middle of the night, seeing that everyone was asleep, the 150 people, from the edge of the camp, found some discarded knives, guns and sticks, and hurried to the city gate cave in the northeast city gate......

At this time, there were only a few dozen Danish defenders in the city gate cave. Moreover, they are basically asleep......

Because of the outstanding performance of the southwest city gate before, these dozens of Danish soldiers guarding the northeast cast iron city gate are very confident in their own big iron gate. Therefore, in the middle of the night, most of them also slept in the duty room in the city gate cave, instead of sending people to watch the night in the city gate cave.

Therefore, when 150 Danish young men arrived at the city gate, there was no one in the city gate......

It was also these Danish farmers who had little experience and didn't know how to sneak attack the sergeant on duty in the cave of the city gate, but directly worked together to remove the big iron bolt of the city gate, and then, in a squeak of "creaking", the big iron gate was opened......

At this time, the scouts lurking outside the city gate, seeing the gate open, directly took out the clockwork musket they were carrying, and fired a shot into the sky with a "bang......

This gunshot was the signal for the attack. The cavalry team, which was hiding 300 meters away from the city gate, quickly began to accelerate and rushed towards the city gate......

At this time, the Danish defenders also discovered the terrible problem of the northeast gate being opened. The first to react was the Danish sergeant sleeping in the duty room in the cave of the city gate. They shouted and dressed themselves, took up their swords, and began to attack the 150 young Danes who had opened the gates. The 150 Danish youths who opened the city gates, because they had not received a long period of martial arts training, were naturally no match for these Danish sergeants.

Seeing that 150 people were defeated and retreated by dozens of Danish soldiers who woke up, and they were about to lose control of the city gate, the cavalry lying in ambush outside the city finally killed......

Hundreds of cavalrymen, whistling, rode their horses and rushed into the city gate hole, and directly hit the Danish young man and Danish sergeant who were blocked in the city gate hole, causing people to turn over on their backs, trampling to death and injuring many people on the spot. The 150 Danish youths who originally opened the city gates, after fighting with the Danish soldiers and the collision of war horses, only a hundred and a few remained......

The cavalry then quickly dismounted and slashed dozens of Danish sergeants who were trying to retake the gates. After clearing the gates, the cavalry drove the surviving 100 Danish young men into the room where the Danish sergeant was on duty at night. And they sent a dense formation, desperately guarding the city gate, waiting for the follow-up troops to come up......

The Danish night guards at the head of the city also seem to have discovered the terrible fact that the northeast city gate has fallen. So, the Danish officers went crazy and mobilized more than 2,000 soldiers to pounce on the city gate hole in the northeast city gate desperately, trying to recapture the city gate hole and close the big iron gate.

However, the East Frisian soldiers who guarded the gate of the city formed a dense battle formation, and defended the gate hole to the death, never allowing the enemy to advance a single step.

After a quarter of an hour of fierce fighting, and after paying the price of more than 40 casualties, these East Friesian cavalry finally waited for the infantry that ran up from behind.

Then, the one at the front was replaced by a large shield soldier......

These warriors carrying huge shields unreasonably smashed those Danish soldiers with their big shields. Because the shields were covered with iron sheets, the Danes' swords could not cut down those shields at all.

In this way, under the opening of the Great Shield Army, the coalition army slowly advanced, and finally attacked the city of Copenhagen. Then came the brutal street fighting phase......
