The Rise of the European Emperor

But Marin did not rush to go to the main fort and meet with Kahn, but sent people to the other three gates separately and opened the gate.

Because Edo Wilmken retracted the remaining Jevre fighters into the main fortress, General Marin opened the other three doors without any effort. In this way, less than two thousand soldiers under the command of Marin surrounded the main fort.

Marin arrived at the main fort and saw the structure of the main fort, but also scratched his head. Because the main fortress is like a sealed box, with only a few gloomy windows. But wanting to enter through the window is simply delusion. Because at this time there are more than one hundred Yevre warriors in the main fort. If you want to climb the window, you must be poked out ...

If it is a large yard, Marin must send someone to throw in the burning straw bales and smoke the people inside, just like when he dealt with Siwag in Friesland. However, this main fort is like a sealed box, with no bales still there. It's impossible to throw in from the window. Because, Marin clearly saw that behind the window of the main fort, full of Jever soldiers ...

The only good news is that there is no balcony above the main fort, which is probably a design problem. Because, the Wilmken family did not expect the enemy troops to break through the fortified walls of the castle. Therefore, unlike the city walls, the main fort can have a defender smashing things down.

Moreover, despite the windows, when Marin's men approached, they did not throw bricks and stones down and hit people. What does this mean? Explain that Edo Wilmken and his men retreated into the main fort hurriedly, and did not expect to enter the masonry with smashing people.

Therefore, Kahn took a group of people directly, stood in front of the oak door of the main fort, and began to smash the door ...

But it can be used as the only gate of the main fort, its sturdiness is obviously not bad. Kahn's hand was numb, and he failed to smash the main castle gate.

Marin looked at it, preventing Kahn's wild bull behavior:

"Don't smash it, Kahn, your two wives have already got it! Give you back when you return!"

There was a round of laughter by the generals, and Kahn was a little embarrassed ...

After Schwarz came with a large army, he asked:

"Master, do you want to move the artillery over the door?"

Marin thought about it, but didn't agree. Because he was worried that the bouncing bullet would hurt his own.

There is not a lot of open space in front of the main fort, just a wider street. The artillery was moved over and could only be placed across the street to bombard the main fortress gate.

However, at such a short distance, if the iron ball shells did not smash the door, it would easily rebound. The artillery position was so close, the iron ball came back, and it was easy to kill the artillery. This is not what Marin wanted. Therefore, we must think of other methods.

At this time, Donny Curry ran over carrying his already tattered oak door and offered to fight:

"Master Count, let me set the gunpowder barrel and blow up this gate!"

"No, this door was not smashed into the hole, the gunpowder barrel was placed under the door, and the deflagration gas spread directly in the opposite direction of the door.

Gunpowder needs to be placed inside the blasted object to produce the maximum effect. If you want to blow the door, just put it outside the door. Of course, later generations of high-energy explosives may be able to do so. However, it is difficult to have great effects without burying gunpowder barrels in every area.

In his previous life, when he was a teenager, Marin had done experiments. He put the gunpowder peeled from the artillery into the glass bottle and the cola cans to light them. As a result, the glass bottle just broke and did not make a big noise. The gunpowder in the canister exploded ...

Because, when the gunpowder gas expands rapidly, the greater the binding force, the stronger the explosive force as a reaction force. Therefore, the shells of later-generation grenades are all made of steel. In addition to the need to manufacture shrapnel to injure people, it is also very important to give the maximum charge to the charge inside.

The binding force of the wooden barrel is not much better than that of the previous Marin glass experiment. The explosive power of black gunpowder is already weak. Putting a barrel of oak gunpowder in front of the gate has a limited destructive power.

……

However, the words of Duny Curry reminded Marin ...

Originally, Marin was going to demolish beams to hit the gate in the folk house in the castle. However, that is too laborious and may not work. But, blast ...

"Send a few people, go to the camp site, find some spades ..." Marin told Schwartz.

Logistically heavy troops are equipped with spades. This is because camping is also about digging pits around the military barracks and setting up slanted wooden pickets to prevent the enemy from stealing the camp.

Although Schwartz was a little puzzled, he quickly executed the order ...

Soon, a few engineer spades dedicated to trenching were delivered ...

"You guys, pry all the stone slabs in front of the gate of the fortress!" Marin sent only a few soldiers casually to let them pry the stone slabs in front of the gate.

"Master, are you going to bury the gunpowder barrel?" Schwartz is not stupid, or Marin will not train him. Seeing the Marinites prying the stone slabs in front of the gate of the fortress, plus the several engineer spades he had taken before, he finally understood.

"Well, not stupid!" Marin nodded.

In ancient wars, a large amount of gunpowder was buried in the heels of the city walls to blow up the city walls. This trick was commonly used by the troops of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

During the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the Taiping Army often used the method of digging tunnels to dig tunnels under the roots of the city walls. Then, the Taiping Army will use a lot of coffins and wooden boxes, filled with gunpowder, and put them into the tunnel through the tunnel. Then, drag out the long fuse. After dragging out the fuse, the soldiers of the Taiping Army will once again block the area outside the coffin filled with gunpowder and the large wooden box with mud to create a better sealing effect.

After, they ignited the pre-laid fuse ...

Then, the city wall collapsed, and the Taiping army swarmed in ...

Marin actually thought of using this trick against Jever Castle, but it was useless because he was afraid that others would use it against himself after learning.

But now, when the enemy does not retreat into the main fortress with bricks and stones, Marin lets people dig pits in front of the city gate without interference, and can be assured of construction.

And this trick, others can not learn. Learning is useless. When attacking the city, it is impossible for the enemy to let you dig pits under the city gate. You have to kill you with bricks and stones. Therefore, digging pits in front of the city gate can only be done when the enemy has no power to fight back. The scope of application is relatively narrow ...

The tactics of the Taiping Army, if learned by Europeans of this era, would be terrible. Because, when the Danes learned it, they could successfully overcome the old Steen. Stockholm ’s Stockholm and calm Sweden ’s independence. This is obviously what Marin did not want to see; the Turks learned it would be more terrible, maybe Vienna Not as unbreakable as in history. Once Vienna is broken, the entire German will be exposed to the iron of the Turks ...

Therefore, Marin was reluctant to take out the Taiping army's trick to siege. However, for this particular situation, you can still use it ...

Soon, in front of the gate of the fortress, a deep pit was dug out and dug in. Marin ordered to bury a barrel of gunpowder and pulled out the fuse. Then, Marin ordered to fill the pit again, and stepped on ...

Then, under the command of Marin, the East Frisian soldiers withdrew very far. Then, Marin lit a long fuse ...

"Boom--" The solid fortress gate was quickly exploded. The sturdy oak door is very funny at this time, the upper part still has residue, but the lower part is blown up ...

As soon as the fortress gate opened, Kahn immediately raised the mace and rushed in ...

Unfortunately, soon, Kahn flew out ...

Marin was stunned-Nima, Kahn and other generals were beaten out, there are Lu Bu, Xiang Yu?

But soon, Kahn told the truth:

"Master, there are a lot of hammers inside. Seven or eight hit the big hammer on me, almost smashed me, but the plate armor is of good quality, otherwise I will definitely be seriously injured ..."

Kahn's plate armor is not made of inferior iron of this era, but made of high carbon steel produced by iron and steel plants, and its strength is very high. So, despite being smashed by several warhammers, Kahn's plate armor was not deformed. However, the person was smashed and flew for a long time. That is Kahn's animal-like physique. If it is replaced by a poor physique, or if the plate armor is of average quality, it may hang ...

Marin frowned and waved his hand:

"Let the Musketeers come!"

Then, several Jever strong warriors who were stuck in the main entrance were directly bombed ...

However, before Marin was happy, he rushed out a few more people, rushed into the team of musketeers, and chopped those musketeers to death. The musketeers had just finished firing bullets and had not had time to reload. At this time, it was the weakest time and they had no resistance. I can only watch myself hacked to death ...

Marin was immediately worried, before, he did not send the musketeer to the front to enter the city, that is, the musketeer had no resistance after a round of shooting. Now, it is so ...

Marin began to think about how to ensure that the musketeers could not be killed if they could use the attacking power of the musketeers ...

So, Marin thought of the battle of the Frisian aristocratic army ambushing Siwag in Friesland ...

Marin remembers that in that battle, the musketeers climbed to the roof to shoot, so the Frisian army had no way against the musketeers.

"Yeah, shoot from above!" Marin thought of countermeasures.

You said how to shoot high in the castle? This is easy:

"Go to a dozen strong men soldiers!" Marin ordered.

Schwartz was puzzled, but still brought people quickly.

"You guys, in groups of two, carrying musketeers to ensure that they are taller than ordinary soldiers ..."

Marin's method is to let melee soldiers wearing plate armor stand in front to block the enemy. The musketeer is at the back, the soldiers higher than the front, above the sky, use the musket to kill the enemies who resist ...

The effect of this trick is wonderful. The soldiers in front just need to withstand the enemy. And the musketeer who was lifted up in the back is the killing trick ...

Relying on this tactic, the soldiers under Marin quickly killed and wounded dozens of enemies, but only injured a few of them. Because the front-row soldiers are mainly defensive, not desperate to fight with the enemy ...

When he arrived in the main room where Edo Wilmken was located, at this time, in the main room, all were the elite of Edo Wilmken. Marin's men rushed several times and were blocked back, and several men died.

Moreover, Marin did not dare to use muskets casually. Because there is an untouchable Princess Hedwig ...

That was the sister-in-law of the Danish King. If Heidewig died, Marin would suffer Danish anger. Therefore, he tried to siege ...

In this way, Marin sent troops to surround the main room, and arranged the outside of the main room window to be filled with manpower to prevent the other party from escaping ...

Just like this, after four days of siege, the people inside were finally unable to bear hunger ...

However, Marin did not expect that the desperate Edo Wilmken was crazy ...

Probably knew that he was going to die, because Marin had not let the whole family of Ed Sad I before. Therefore, Edo Wilmken held on to the belief of death ...

He knew that Marin would not hurt Hedwig ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Because, Hedwig is the cousin of the King of Denmark. But now that he knew he was going to die, Edo Wilkin was crazy ...

He coaxed his eyes and said softly to Hedwig:

"Honey, do you love me?"

Hedwig didn't know, so he nodded blankly.

Edo. Wilmken said happily:

"Since this is the case, let's go to heaven together!"

Then, before Hedwig understood what was going on, a long sword was inserted in his chest ...

"Edo ... why?" Until death, Hedwig didn't understand why her husband killed her ...

"Because, our family is going to reunite in paradise ..." Edo Wilkin laughed wildly.

Actually, his inner thought is that-the Wilmken family is annihilated, and it will not make you Hoffman family better. Offended the Oldenburg family, the Hoffman family will bury the Wilmken family! Even if it ca n’t be buried, it will make you unlucky ...

Then, Edo Wilmken, who had fallen into a frenzy, covered his daughter Maria, who was not yet one year old, with a velvet quilt. He muttered to himself while covering:

"Baby, our family will go to heaven together ..."

Maria, who was under one year old, killed himself with a sword. Before committing himself, he said to his opponents:

"You surrender, the Wilmken family is sorry for you!"

Then, Edo Wilkin pulled his sword and fell asleep, lying next to the body of his wife and children ...

When Marin entered the room after surrendering and disarming Jever, he saw three bodies lying on the bed, especially the female body ...

Marin's complexion changed suddenly:

"Broken, this is a disaster!"
