The Rise of the European Emperor

For now, the only people who know about the 18,000 reinforcements are Heisenberg, the Chancellor of Hamburg, and several major Hamburg parliamentarians.

However, Heisenberg didn't know the real news of Marin's reinforcements. He only knew that he borrowed ships capable of carrying 20,000 troops to the army of Marin's Schleswig Principality.

According to Heisenberg and several Hamburg councilors, the Duchy of Schleswig would probably send 10,000 regular troops, plus 10,000 people, as well as various supplies and baggage, so that many ships were needed. What he didn't know was that most of these ships were actually used to carry main soldiers.

According to Marin's design, if the 18,000 main force can successfully lurk near the Bursa coalition and complete the raid on the enemy from behind, then the Bursa coalition will definitely be defeated, or at least retreat.

At that time, these 18,000 people will be able to join the main force, and there will be no need for so many people. Moreover, if you go by water, because you are using boats, you don’t need too many people at all. Moreover, the sailors on the ships provided by the Hamburgers are enough to make a cameo appearance.

Only on long-distance marches on land, enough people are needed to pull carts to transport food and luggage. If they all go by water, they need very little strength. Because the baggage is loaded on the ship...

After sending off the Grand Speaker of Tagfach, Marin immediately invited Schwartz, Sauer and others to study the change of the combat plan together.

Obviously, after the Bosa coalition left the camp in the southeast of Lübeck, the previous battle plan needed to be overturned. And the reinforcements of Woolf Esbrand and Saqqara can no longer follow the original plan and take the previously scheduled route. If they continue like this, they will definitely collide with the Bosa coalition. Because, now the Allied Forces of Boza are slowly advancing towards Hamburg along the banks of the "Elbe-Lübeck Canal". If the ships of the reinforcements still go through this canal, it means that they will meet the Allied Forces of Bossa head-on, and then they will sneak a P?

However, if reinforcements were to land on the east bank of the Elbe near Hamburg, the possibility of leaks would be too great. Because Hamburg is a metropolis where people come and go. Here, I want to walk an army of 18,000 people, and I want to keep it secret - just dream...

Marin estimated that at this moment around Hamburg, there are scouts sent by hundreds of countries lurking, and that is not a problem. After all, the scale of this war is too large, and it may determine the direction of Germany in the future, so it must be highly valued by all countries.

And, unlike Lübeck. Lubeck's side has been besieged by the Bursa coalition, and the scouts of the Bursa coalition scattered a lot. The scouts of other vassal states may not dare to approach. Otherwise, it is easy to be eliminated as an enemy by the scouts of the Allied Forces of Boza.

On the Hamburg side, because there is no large army yet, and there are no cavalry outside the city responsible for cleaning up the scouts, those who want to inquire about the news,

Wandering around Hamburg, that's normal. Even the Bursa coalition might have dispatched a large number of scouts.

Under such circumstances, even if Marin dispatched the 200 professional scout cavalry to intercept scouts, he probably wouldn't be able to intercept scouts from various countries near Hamburg.

After all, in the city of Hamburg, burgers can also help clean up. And around Hamburg, it's more difficult... 200 people is definitely not enough...

If a scout escapes, report it to the Bursa coalition, saying that nearly 20,000 troops have landed on the Hamburg side. Special meow, that's a sneak attack on a P...

Therefore, Marin needed a way to divert the sight of scouts from various countries in and outside Hamburg to cover the landing of reinforcements.

The best way is to make a big news in Hamburg and attract all the scouts nearby. Then, with 18,000 reinforcements under his command, he chose a place not close to Hamburg to land, and headed eastward overnight, heading straight for the enemy camp...

"Make big news in Hamburg and attract the attention of scouts from all over the world?" Schwartz asked rhetorically.

"Yes, Hamburg is also a center of right and wrong anyway. It's easy to attract people to make big news there. As long as the Hamburg people steal the limelight, then our reinforcements will not be noticed."

Everyone was silent for a long time, obviously, they were all trying to figure out a way...

At this time, Kahn, who has been used as a mascot by Marin on this occasion, suddenly spoke:

"Master, I have a solution..." Kahn suddenly raised his hand.

"Do you still have a solution?" Marin was taken aback, and several other senior generals also looked at "Muscle Stick" Kahn in surprise - darling, you are a thug full of muscles, and you still want to rob us rice bowl? Isn't it just for fun?

Kahn ignored the surprised eyes of the other people, but said to himself:

"Master, you want Hamburg to attract the enemy's attention. It's very simple - it won't be long before the Hamburg Council recruits 10,000 troops?"

"That's it?" Schwartz asked dully.

"What else do you want? It's just to attract attention. There are so many people in Hamburg, just find 10,000 people to make up the number, just to scare the next person!" Kahn said nonchalantly.

After thinking for a while, Marin lowered his head and slapped his thigh, saying:

"Sure enough, it's a good way. A 10,000-strong army can indeed attract everyone's attention. Even recruiting 10,000 pigs is estimated to attract everyone's attention!"

The big scene is the most eye-catching. After all, no matter what era, most people like to watch the fun. Hamburg recruited 10,000 troops with great fanfare, and it was difficult not to attract attention. What's more, Hamburg is also a cosmopolitan city where people come and go.

As long as the Hamburg City recruits troops with great fanfare, it will definitely attract the attention of scouts from all over the world. By then, no one will pay attention to the countryside outside Hamburg. After all, something big is happening in Hamburg...

Pulling everyone around Hamburg, they turned their attention to the newly formed army of 10,000 people in Hamburg. The real reinforcements on Marin's side just landed quietly, and then rushed to attack the camp of the Allied Forces of Bursa overnight...

At this time, in order to inquire about the news, those scouts from various countries will definitely pour into the city of Hamburg. And Hamburg has now implemented a curfew. In the middle of the night, Marin's reinforcements landed in the rural area north of Hamburg. Those scouts from various countries who flocked to Hamburg to inquire about news have no chance to come out to find out the news...

At this time, it is absolutely enough to use Sauer's 200 professional scout cavalry to intercept scouts to block the intersection to the east. After all, most of the scouts from various countries were attracted by the big moves in Hamburg at this time, and they were also trapped in the city by the curfew...

Marin patted Kahn's shoulder with a smile, and said:

"I didn't expect that you can come up with such a good idea as a muscle stick! Tell me, how did you come up with this good idea?"

Kahn scratched his head honestly and said:

"I didn't think much about it, but suddenly I remembered, didn't that guy Woolf Esbrand get 8,000 people to pretend to be reinforcements to deceive the Allied Forces of Bossa? I just thought, let's learn from that guy and let Hamburg also has a fake army to attract everyone's attention, okay? It's very simple..."

Looking at Kahn's simple and honest smile, everyone was a little blocked - Nima, it's so simple, why can't I think of it? In vain, Kahn's muscle stick was compared...
