Of course, Marin's army did not really do nothing. While the truce, Marin sent a large number of troops to assist Hamburg's soldiers and began to capture the sailors and their families in the fishing village along the Elbe River near Vittenberg.

After being caught, all of these inland shipping sailors were "packed" by the Hamburgers and shipped to Hamburg. In order to cut off the possibility of the shipping industry resurgence in the future, the Hamburgers directly captured all the young people in the fishing village and did not leave any fire to the Saxony Electoral.

However, the Hamburg army and Marin's army mainly operated near Vittenburg and looted the fishing villages near Vittenburg. Therefore, they could only capture some of the shipping sailors in Vittenburg. But this also caused a huge blow to the Saxony Electoral. Because the largest inland shipping port in Saxony Electoral is Vittenburg. Most of the inland shipping ships in its country were also close to this side. In the previous war, if it were not for the care of the Brandenburg army and the group of landslides, the soldiers of the Saxony Electoral could have taken a boat to the north along the Elbe River and directly attacked Hamburg.

Marin's men and Hamburg's troops attacked the port of Vittenburg and took away most of the inland ships. At the same time, they robbed all nearby fishing villages and captured a large number of inland shipping sailors. Although this was not the whole of the Saxony Electoral State, it also accounted for at least half. After this, inland shipping in Saxony Electoral State must have been hit hard.

In addition, Marin also divided some troops to loot the towns near Vittenburg. Generally, small towns have no walls. Marin's army can start looting directly when they go over.

As the special envoy of the Imperial Parliament, Baron Larric, every day when entering and leaving the Marin barracks, he would see East Friesian soldiers who went to loot local towns and villages, and used small cars to pull a large amount of stolen supplies back to the barracks...

Baron Larick was not surprised by this, because this was normal. If Marin's army did nothing and stayed in the barracks, Baron Larick would have doubted it.

Why? This is the convention of this era...

The so-called "thieves do not leave empty-handed". By the same token, those mercenaries attacked a certain place without returning empty-handed. Marin acted as giving up attacking Vittenburg, but if he did not rob the villages near Vittenburg, Baron Larric would feel suspicious and doubt whether Marin was unwilling to give up.

However, Marin began to rob nearby towns and villages, which relieved Baron Larick...

Because Marin began to rob troops, indicating that Marin had no intention of continuing to siege Vittenberg. These robberies can be regarded as making money before retreating, which is normal.

For this, Marin also exhausted his mind. When he was in college in his previous life, Marin also took psychology. Although he didn't study very seriously, it was enough to use it to figure out the ideas of people in this era.

In order to confuse the enemy, Marin specially arranged his men to go to nearby towns and villages to rob property and livestock, and made the gesture of "making a fortune before retreating", just to show the Saxons.

When Baron Larric saw the actions of Marin's army, he was relieved and brought the news back to the city of Wittenburg and told the left-behind John.

After hearing this, John also judged that Marin's army had indeed given up on besieging Vittenberg. So John relaxed his vigilance. Specifically, the defense in the middle of the night became slack... Especially, in the section of the city wall facing the Elbe River south of Vittenberg, the sentries in the middle of the night decreased a lot...

That night, Saul's scout troops felt the difference. So Saul quickly reported to Marin:

"Young Master, their defense in the middle of the night has indeed been much relaxed! So, will we take action tonight?"

After thinking about it, Marin said:

"Wait a little longer, although the other party relaxed the guard tonight, I guess my nerves are still tense. If there is any movement, I will still react quickly..."

In this way, I waited for another three days. After the defenders of Vittenberg were completely relieved, Marin called Cage, Oh no, now he should be called Nicholas Cage...

"Cage... Oh no, Nicholas, are you ready?" Obviously, Marin is going to use Cage's Flying Claw Special Forces again...

"Be ready to listen to your call!" Cage said loudly.

"Very good, it's up to you tonight. In the middle of the night, Feizha climbed the city from the Linhe City Wall to the south, then opened the city gate in the southeast, and put the army into the city!"

"Yes, guarantee to complete the task!"

That afternoon, after sending off Baron Larik who came to Marin's military camp to inquire about daily news, Marin immediately ordered dinner. Moreover, he ordered the soldiers to rest immediately after dinner, to accumulate energy, and wait for the attack in the middle of the night...

After a few hours of rest, at around 9 o'clock in the evening, the soldiers were awakened and started to check their equipment, and then they began to assemble...

After the assembly was completed, Marin led his army and quietly headed towards the southeast gate of Vittenburg several kilometers away...

In the middle of the night, using the mature tactics of conquering Copenhagen, Nicholas Cage led his special forces to quietly climb the city wall near the river to the south of Vittenburg. Then, the same trick was repeated, and tied the inner side of the wall with a rope hooked by claws. Finally, they walked through the streets and alleys and rushed straight to the inner side of the southeastern gate of Vittenburg...

Because he concluded that Marin's army would not attack the city, the Saxon defenders were very relaxed these days. In the middle of the night on the first day, John did make some preparations. But Marin did not send anyone to launch an attack that night. Therefore, the final preparations of the Saxons did not work until... Marin's army really came...

After easily dealing with more than 200 defenders on the inside of the southeast gate of Wittenburg, Cage and his special forces men began to clean up some thick logs on the inside of the gate that were against the gate. After Cage and his men cleared the debris inside the gate and opened the large iron gate in the southeast, the Saxon army in the city reacted. Unfortunately, it was too late. When they sent people to reinforce the southeast gate, the main force of the East Friesian army had already poured into the city from the southeast gate...

Speaking of which, if the defenders in the city were tens of thousands of veterans from Saxony before sending troops, they might be able to take advantage of the fact that there were not many East Friesian troops pouring in the city gate to drive out the enemy's forward and close the city gate again.

However, at this moment, there were only three thousand soldiers in the Saxon defenders in the city, and only regular soldiers, while the other eight thousand were temporarily recruited militias.

Those militia rely on tall and strong city walls to defend the city, and can still fight. But without the support of the city walls, they are no longer opponents of the regular army.

Therefore, the two thousand Saxon militias who came to reinforce the southeast gate were soon beaten by the East Friesian army that broke into the city. Moreover, the militias were militias, and their reaction speed was too slow. It was too late to send people to reinforce the southeast gate...
