A few days later, when all the activity shooting sheds were built, the 50,000 Bossa coalition, including 30,000 civilians and a large amount of food and supplies came late.
These days it has been raining and rainy, so in the era when there were no roads, the Bossa coalition forces who walked on dirt roads suffered a lot. Fortunately, the distance was not very far, and they were only separated by the Principality of Mecklenburg, otherwise they would have to exhaust the army.
"I heard that Marin's army was good at using a medley gun?" asked Jockim I, the Brandenburg elector.
Frederick III, the Elector of Saxony, nodded and smiled:
"Haha, although it's very uncomfortable to march these days. But on this rainy day, I think the East Friesian musketeers on the city walls must not use muskets, right? Without muskets, I see how they defend."
"Yes, yes, on rainy days, their muskets cannot be used, and our bows and arrows can barely be used, we have the advantage!" Jokim I also said with satisfaction. Although rainy days also have an impact on bows and arrows, it is at least much better than the combstones that cannot be used.
However, as the army arrived at the city of Lübeck, Frederick III and Jockim I were a little stunned - what were the small wooden sheds on the city wall?
Then, a team of infantry was sent forward to carry a ladder to attack the city... Then, they understood what those small wooden sheds were used for...
"Baopaopaopaopaopao-" A burst of gunshots like fried beans came from the wooden shed, scaring the coalition forces...
"I X! Is there such an operation?" Jockim couldn't help but swear...
A moment ago, he and Frederick III were glad that it was raining that the other party's coercion could not be used. How long has it been? It was a slap in the face...
Frederick III was also stunned - fuck, I was slapped in the face...
However, little Zhuge is little Zhuge. After thinking about it, Zhuge Telie said:
"It's okay, we won't attack today. When the rain stops, we will burn those small wooden sheds with rockets! From now on, when it rains, their mezzanine will still be destroyed!"
Jokim I nodded, then looked at the thousands of small wooden sheds on the top of the city in angrily.
Just so happened that the army had been struggling in the mud on a rainy day for a few days, so they had to rest first. However, Zhuge Telie specially instructed that we must do a good job of preventing night attacks.
Because the grandson named Marin on the opposite side was best at night attacks... Back then, King Charles VIII of France suffered a huge loss from this grandson...
At night, Shaul and his scouts used telescopes to conduct reconnaissance all night on the city wall, and then, exclaimed:
"The opponent's defense at night is so tight. At least a few thousand people are on the night. He also brought dogs. With such a defense, it is difficult to succeed in a night attack!"
Then, Sauer reported to Marin. Marin could not deny it. He had known Frederick III's difficulty. If he hadn't received information from Venice by chance, he might have been deceived by the other party. In addition, he started out by night attacks, and if the other party did not defend tightly in the middle of the night, Marin felt strange. If he didn't do it well, this might be a trap.
The third day after the coalition arrived, the rain finally stopped. Early in the morning, Jokiem I excitedly brought the archers of Brandenburg Electorate State and big buckets of grease, and planned to bring a firewood shed for Marin. Unfortunately, when thousands of archers of the coalition arrived under the city wall, they were surprised to find that the wooden sheds were gone...
Of course it was gone. After finding that the rain had stopped, before breakfast, Marin arranged for the villagers to carry all the wooden sheds off the city wall...
"There is such an operation?" Jokim I was stunned again...
Frederick III sighed, but also admired Marin's cunning. Then he ordered the archers to shoot several waves on the head of the city. However, when their archers were throwing, the musketeers shrank their heads next to the battlements, and the arrows shot could not hurt them.
When the coalition infantry launched another tentative attack, these musketeers showed up and opened fire on the infantry, causing considerable casualties to the coalition.
Jokim was unwilling to give up, so he ordered the soldiers to remove the gates of nearby houses and let the soldiers carry the gates to resist the bullets on the city wall.
Unfortunately, this move was used in the wrong place. If the guards used bows and arrows, they could indeed resist it with the wooden door. But the musketeers of Malin used the Mushket musket with a projectile weighing 50 grams. The power could not even be blocked by the plate armor, and the wooden door could not be blocked by the wooden door...
After many attacks, the coalition finally stopped...
"Stop it for now, let's wait for the Danish army to come and meet!"
"Can the Danish army have stronger combat effectiveness than us?" Jokim I retorted dissatisfiedly.
"It's true that we are not as strong as us, but we can use it to consume Marin's ammunition! 20,000 people, it won't cost all the ammunition of Marin!" Frederick III said cruelly.
"This...is not good..." Jokim said hesitantly.
"What's wrong with it? We are fighting for Denmark this time. Do we have to use our people to die?"
Jokim thought about it and it was true. They helped Denmark come forward this time. Although they had a relationship with their in-laws, they were actually trying to loot Lubeck and Hamburg, not entirely for Denmark.
When they reached their position, they rarely acted emotionally. They usually put national interests first. Even if the King of Denmark Hans was his father-in-law, if Frederick III of Saxony told him that he could rob the rich Lubeck and Hamburg, he might not have been willing to make such great efforts. At most, it would be great to give Denmark thousands of reinforcements, just like Frederick III had treated his cousin Duke George before.
In fact, Frederick III had an ambition in his heart - that is, to destroy the two Hanseatic alliance leaders, Lubeck and Hamburg.
Then, when Lubeck and Hamburg were finished, Frederick III wanted to take the opportunity to let the Hanseatic merchants in the Saxony business district stand up and become the leader of the Hanseatic League.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! The Hanseatic merchants in the Saxony business district were privately influenced and partially controlled by Frederick III. In this way, it is equivalent to the Saxony Electoral State secretly controlling the Hanseatic Alliance with huge economic strength. In the future, it is not impossible for Saxony to become the boss of Germany...
After all, the Saxony Business District is the second largest business district among the four major business districts of the Hanseatic League after the Wende Business District where Lübeck and Hamburg are located.
If Lubeck and Hamburg were destroyed by the coalition forces, then as the second largest business district, the Saxony business district will easily take over the banner of Lubeck and Hamburg and become the new leader of the Hanseatic League. As the real boss of the Saxony region, Frederick III will fully influence and control the German region in politics and economy...
Although Frederick III himself had no intention of becoming the emperor of Shenluo. However, Frederick III, known as Zhuge Trek, likes to secretly control Germany and is a wise figure who likes to be the mastermind behind the scenes.
In fact, he had no intention of becoming the emperor of Shenluo, mainly because he was not married and had no descendants. Even if he became an emperor, he would have no success. Everything he did was just to pave the way for his younger brother John to take over the Saxon Electorate Kingdom in the future.
Therefore, in this war, Frederick was more concerned about how to strengthen the strength of the Saxony Electorate, rather than foolishly helping the Danes fight desperately.
As for the Danes fighting for the 20,000 troops? Frederick III thought that was nothing. Because the 20,000 troops were new troops recruited from the people and were not the main force of the Danish royal court. Therefore, even if it was lost, it was nothing.
Besides, although some army was lost, as long as the coalition forces won, everything that Denmark lost would be taken back, which is not too much of a loss. After all, those are two principalities. Moreover, the Danish capital has more than 10,000 troops, which does not affect national security.
Saxony and Brandenburg will take this opportunity to make a fortune, grab all the wealth of Lubeck and Hamburg, and strengthen themselves...
Based on this plan, Frederick III decided to suspend the attack on Lübeck and instead only siege but not attack.
Then, Frederick III arranged heavy troops in the north of Lübeck, waiting for the information to "come to support Lübeck's eight thousand troops from the Principality of Schleswig" and intend to destroy this army. In short, this is also a "surrounding point and attacking aid."
Without the support of the city wall, Frederick III did not believe that the eight thousand reinforcements could defeat the powerful coalition...
In this way, both the offense and defense were in a confrontation and waiting situation inside and outside the city...
