The Rise of the European Emperor

However, the mobile phone is the most data-efficient site. Early the next morning, Schwartz began to arrange for the army to launch a storm. Like the siege method of the ordinary army, the East Frisian army used the method of climbing with ladders to forcibly climb the city walls of Copenhagen.

The problem is that Copenhagen's walls are tall and strong. After all, as the capital of Viking pirates for hundreds of years, the Danes have accumulated rich wealth, and naturally they have the money to strengthen their capital.

In addition, the southeast and northwest of Copenhagen are rivers and lakes, which are not suitable for attack. Therefore, Marin's army could only launch a storm on the southwest and northeast walls.

Although it is said that more than 10,000 defenders in Denmark were sung by the "embarrassed on all sides" choir organized by Marin, the army was distraught. However, those 10,000 people are all veterans, veterans with skilled combat skills.

If a decisive battle is fought in the wilderness, the more than 10,000 veterans who have lost their minds will still not be able to do it. However, with the cover of Copenhagen's tall and strong city walls, these veterans were somewhat comforted and had the courage to resist.

You know, as long as you have a tall and strong city wall, even the militia can resist the siege of the regular army, not to mention these veterans. They just have low morale, and their fighting ability is much stronger than that of the militia.

Therefore, the storm organized by Marin caused huge casualties of the East Frisian army. On the first day, more than 1,200 people were directly injured or killed. The next day I was a little more careful, but there were more than 900 casualties...

Fortunately, these casualties are mainly injuries, especially falls. Of the 2,100 casualties, only 300 were actually killed, and the rest were all wounded. The Mongolian doctor brought by Marin is best at treating bruises. Of the 1,800 wounded, except for more than 200 who directly broke their arms and legs, everyone else could be cured quickly and returned to the battle sequence.

Moreover, because of the use of alcohol, gauze and lime, the disinfection work in the Marin Army is very well done, and very few soldiers are infected because of injuries.

However, such a large number of casualties still shocked Marin. In the years of fighting, he rarely felt such a large casualty. Especially since it's only been done in two days.

In desperation, Marin had to suspend the storm. However, Marin could not give up the attack. After all, he is still in a hurry to go south...

To solve this problem, Marin convened a meeting of all mid- and high-level officers to brainstorm ways to quickly break through Copenhagen.

However, most of Marin's subordinates are officers with strong execution ability, and when it comes to resourcefulness, they don't seem to be very good. So, Marin turned his attention to the only subordinate who was considered a resourceful player-Wolf Esbrand...

after all,

Woolf Esbrand can come up with a strategy to flood the Seventh Army in Europe, which lacks resourcefulness, which is a rare resourceful military talent. Marin couldn't figure it out himself, and naturally hope fell on Woolf Esbrand.

Seeing Marlin looking over, Woolf Esbrand naturally knew what Marlin was thinking. After thinking about it for a while, Woolf Esbrand finally spoke cautiously:

"I have a way, I don't know if it will work..."

"Let's talk about it!" Marin was also a little ill at the moment and went to the doctor. Moreover, Woolf Esbrand is not a "quack doctor".

"Cage is in charge of the special forces now, isn't he?" Woolf Esbrand said after pondering the language.

"Yes, you want Cage to climb the wall in the middle of the night?" Marin frowned.

Use special forces to use flying claws to climb walls in the middle of the night, a trick Marin's army used when they attacked Florence. However, the object of use is the Italian army with loose military discipline. Moreover, the other party never thought that someone would use the tactic of flying claws to climb the city wall. What's even more ironic is that the Italian mercenaries are used to picking up girls at night, and they don't have the heart to guard the city seriously, so they were easily obtained by Stade.

The Danish army in Copenhagen is different. Since they were besieged and suffered a big loss last time, the Danes are still very vigilant, leaving people to guard the city wall day and night, so as not to give Marin the opportunity to exploit.

Woolf Esbrand nodded and said:

"Yes, my opinion is to send special forces to climb the city wall with flying claws in the middle of the night! However, they don't climb the city wall in the southwest, nor are they afraid of the city wall in the northeast, but..."

"You mean, the city walls on the southeast and northwest sides of the water?" Marin's eyes lit up.

"Yes, my lord. I have observed the Danish defenders with binoculars at night and found that in the middle of the night they were still heavily defended on the southwest and northeast walls. However, on the southeast and northwest walls near the water, the defense seemed to be more lax. …”

"However, even if they climbed the southeast or northwest city wall, it's useless! You know, even if they capture part of the city wall, the follow-up troops will not be able to attack!" Schwartz said suspiciously.

This is also a big problem, because if the southwest and northeast part of the city wall of Copenhagen is captured, the follow-up infantry can continue to climb up the ladder, and then capture and stabilize this section of the city wall.

However, the southeast and northwest city wall sections are different. These two city walls are adjacent to the river and the lake. Even the special forces climbed up and were able to occupy part of the city wall. However, the subsequent troops were unable to attack. Because the soldiers were unable to set up ladders on the river and lake to continue to attack this section of the city wall and consolidate the results.

After hearing what Schwartz said, Woolf Esbrand nodded and said:

"You're right, even if the special forces climbed to the southeast or northwest section of the city wall near the water, they can't continue to guide the follow-up troops to occupy this section of the city wall. However, I didn't say let the special forces continue to stay there... "

"What do you mean?" Schwartz was puzzled.

"My idea is to let Cage take his special forces, use claw hooks, climb up the section of the city wall near the water, and sneak into the city to open the northeast gate!"

"What if the enemy finds out?" Schwartz demanded.

"It's alright, don't we have the Danish women and old people singing every night now? Tonight we have the choir singing hard under the southwest wall to attract the attention of the Danish defenders. Then Cage took his Special forces, quietly go to the southeastern city wall near the northeast wall, swim across the river, use flying claws to climb the city wall, and enter the city, sneak under the city gate of the northeast city wall, and launch a surprise... I have observed, Mr. Marin arranged Every night's chorus attracts the attention of the Danish defenders. As long as the enemy forces focus on the southwest city wall in the middle of the night, and Cage and the others are walking on the sparsely populated southeast section of the city wall near the river, I believe it is still It's easy to hide..." Woolf Esbrand explained his plan in great detail.

Now the special forces under Cage have expanded to about 300 people. According to Woolf Esbrand's plan, they will use flying claws to board the city head from the southeastern section of the city wall near the river, enter the city, and then sneak inside the northeast city gate to launch a surprise attack...

"Three hundred people, can you take down the city gate?" Someone questioned.

You know, because Marin is good at sneak attacking city gates. Therefore, now Marin's opponents have strengthened the protection of the inner side of the city gate, and at least hundreds of elite soldiers are guarding the inner side of the city gate. This is the case in Denmark. After they learned about Marin's habits through Saxony, they naturally strengthened the protection of the city gate.

Woolf Esbrand laughed and said:

"As for the combat effectiveness of the special forces, I believe that Mr. Marin himself is the clearest!"

Marin nodded. As the founder of the special forces, he naturally knew the combat effectiveness of the special forces. Perhaps, in frontal confrontation, the special forces are not much better than the elite soldiers. However, when it comes to sneak attacks, the special forces are very good at it, and it is normal to win more with less.

Not to mention that the Danes stationed hundreds of elite soldiers in Chengmendong, even if there were 2,000 people, these 300 special forces could kill a bloody path. However, the casualties would be huge. However, by reconnaissance using a telescope on a high platform, generals such as Marin and Woolf Esbrand knew that the Danes only arranged a few hundred elites in the city gate hole. Three hundred special forces can definitely easily beat the opponent down...

In this way, the meeting was decided - that night, Cage and his 300 special forces were dispatched to use flying claws to sneak into the city from the unmanned section of the southeastern section of the city wall, and use the claw hook rope to enter the city, and sneak into the northeast city of Copenhagen by night. On the inside of the gate, and then launched a raid, opened the northeast gate, and put the East Frisian army into the city...

After having an offensive method, Marin happily called Cage to his side, smiled and said:

"Cage, if you have made great achievements in this battle, I have decided to officially give you Cage's surname and name you Nicolas Cage to become a hereditary noble..."
