King of Mercenaries Chapter 102

Published at 14th of June 2023 05:27:40 AM

Just as the fire broke out on Texel Island, the Huffman House on the Ruhr River was nervously preparing for the wedding.

On the day of March 1st, under the opening of 50 light cavalry led by Schwartz, Adler took his younger brothers as best men, rode a horse, and led a luxury carriage to Gelsenki. Xing direction to welcome relatives.

Greetings went well. After a lot of silver coins were sprinkled, the people at Hamler Manor no longer embarrassed to welcome the team. Later, Adler took Liv Hamler in a carriage and took him to the nearby city of Bochum. In the city of Bochum, Walter, assistant bishop of the Dortmund parish hired by Marin, presided over the wedding.

But at this moment, the first messenger sent by Franz Berger for help, Zema arrived in Bochum and reported to Marin the emergency report of the attack on Texel.

众 Everyone at the scene changed his face, and Marin was also worried. You know, most of his new Phalanx are recruits who haven't completed recruit training. Such a team may be okay to fight the downwind battle, but it must fight against the wind, especially when there are many enemy forces.

However, Marin thought about it, and felt that even if Erenzberg's ability could not defeat the enemy, it would be okay to hold Denborg. Because the walls of Den Burg were built very firmly. With hundreds of soldiers and horses in Edenborg, even if Friesland dispatched 3,000 people, it was difficult to take them down within a few months. Because in the city of Den Burg, 300 of the 400 veterans are stationed there, of which 200 are musketeers. Moreover, the food reserves in Den Burg are very sufficient, and drinking water can also be maintained by the wells in the city. Therefore, Marin did not worry about the end of his nest in a short time.

Thinking of this, everyone laughed and said:

"It's nothing, it's just a little thing. Don't disturb Adler because of this little thing."

As a result, the wedding proceeded and was successfully completed (the supporting wedding is irrelevant and will not be described in more detail).

After the oath was completed in the church, a large group of people marched to the Huffman Manor, and finally held a grand banquet in the manor.

But during the banquet, the sky was raining ...

"It's raining ..." Marin looked at the sky and frowned. Because, he thought, the Musketeers of the Spanish Phalanx would definitely fail in rainy days. In this way, without the sharp attack of the Musketeers, the original number of Texel troops was smaller, and it was more difficult to resist the Frisian army.

However, considering that the turret of Tholencher has a rain-proof design, it does not worry that the artillery will not fire in rainy days. But thinking that Oddshild's artillery was not yet in place, Marin was tangled again ...

Sure enough, the next morning, the second messenger arrived and reported the lost report of Oddshild. At the same time, Marin also learned that Flenzberger had taken the main force and retreated into Denborg, and Tholencher's defense was relatively solid.

"How about the Musketeer loss?" Marin asked with concern. The most important thing of the Spanish Phalanx is the Musketeer. He does not want the Musketeer to suffer heavy losses due to rain.

"Master Baron, the Musketeer has not suffered any casualties, and has entered the city to defend." The messenger answered seriously.

"What about horses?"

"Master Franz Berger sent muskets and soldiers to drive horses into the city ..."

"Good job! What about the farmers?" Marin said happily.

"Um ... Lord Franzberger didn't let people go to the village for the serfs to evacuate the city ... just the families of the 400 seniors were connected to the city ..." It is also convenient to connect them to the northern suburbs of the fort.

哎 "Ah ..." Marin sighed. He knew that, after all, Frenzberg was not a traversal, but rather looked at serfs. In the eyes of the medieval "native" Franzberg, horses were obviously more important than serfs. Marin, who travels from a "people-oriented" modern society, has just the opposite view. However, Marin is also unable to reverse the views of adults like Frentzberg.

Uh ...

At breakfast, the Adlers and their newlyweds appeared in the restaurant. At this time, Adler changed his gown and changed back to three quarters of breastplates. And Liv Hamler, the newly-married wife-oh no, it should be Liv Huffman now, and she's also a costume. It's just that the new big sister walked a little unnaturally. No wonder who called Adler was a wild bear. Adler wasn't much better. Looking at the scratches on his neck, he knew that the "fight" was fierce last night ...

Adler seemed very interested in the war, and before breakfast, Adler said to Marin happily:

"Marin, bring me to the war with Friesland, I will lead the charge!"

"Uh-huh, do n't forget to bring you and slap me! My mother has hacked thousands of training dummies, and I have n't tasted the taste of real people ..." On the side, the face of the bride Liv Huffman Longing for ...

Marin is completely speechless, this couple is superb. You say that Adler is militant, so how to marry a girl is also a violent girl who likes to cut people ...

"No, you two, haven't given a grandson to Lao Tzu. After you give birth to your grandson, what are you two doing!" Old Huffman took the lead to object, and Madam Mary nodded in support of the old man's point of view.

呃 "Uh ... But father, Marin needs help now! If we don't help, where can he help to rescue the siege of Texel?"

"Marin, do you have any ideas? If you want, the old man can also go into battle!" Old Huffman asked Marin with concern.

"Nothing, Dad, I'll fix this, you don't need to worry!"

Although he said that on his lips, Marin was actually worried about it ...

Right now, Marin still has 50 light cavalry brought back by Schwartz, and 20 guards brought back before. However, these 70 people are not the best thing. Because, according to information, the Frisian army besieging Texel Island alone had more than one hundred and dozens of plate cavalry, not to mention the hundreds of heavy armored swordsmen. Therefore, the 70 people, even if they helped, they could not play any role, but they became food delivery.

In fact, Marin could actually ask Emperor Maximilian I for help. However, Marin was reluctant to do so.

I must know that Maximilian I was also jealous of such a large territory of the Friesian Noble Republic. If he asks for help, the emperor will certainly send troops. But after sending troops, the land of the Friesland aristocratic republic will be swallowed up by the emperor, and then nothing will happen to Marin.

However, Marin is also working on the idea of ​​this land. Because this is a land without a land. In the Holy Roman Empire, the only one that has not been included in the empire's territory at present, UU reading www.uukanshu.com has only this land (East Friesland has already claimed the Empire). If Marin took the land first, the emperor would have no excuse to do something with Marin. Similarly, if the emperor grabs the first move, Marin, the emperor's subordinate, has no excuse for snatching.

Now, the nobles of the Noble Republic of Friesland, because of the trivial affairs of hundreds of fishermen, took the lead in provoking war. Although Marin was angry, he also felt that this was a golden opportunity. As long as you defeat yourself and defeat the army of the Friesland Noble Republic, you may still capture the entire Friesland.

It's just that Marin is very sorry that the enemy attacked too early. If you wait for two or three months and wait for the training of Frentzberger's square array to be basically completed, you will not be afraid of the Frisian attack.

Of the 1,200 defenders on the island, 800 are recruits and lack the experience of fighting. Let them stand by the city, that is no problem at all, after all, the geographical advantage is too great, which can give them confidence and courage. But letting them fight outside the city and dominate the Frisian professional fighters is still problematic. To make matters worse, the battle was ushered in by rain and rain, which caused trouble for the Spanish Phalanx tactics.

Today, the Musketeers of Texel Island, it is no problem to hide in the fort and shoot out. But once out of the fort, it is easy to cause the fire line to extinguish, and the Musketeers will lose their combat effectiveness.

Looking at the rain and rain these days, there was no sign of rest, which was rare in the Dutch region in early spring, and made Marin very anxious. He is now thinking about where to get enough soldiers to support Texel ...
