Chapter 101: Confrontation and looting

Immediately after entering the city of Fenenburg, Flenzberger immediately transferred all the soldiers to the wall, and arranged for the people to strengthen the people, and sealed the four gates with a large amount of wood, bricks and stones.
The walls of the Gutenberg were designed by Marin himself and are boxy, similar to the walls of the East. However, this small city is very small, with the walls on each side being only 500 meters long. But every 50 meters on the wall, there is a square stone house similar to the Great Wall beacon for soldiers to rest. Like the beacon, there are 4 lookout holes / fire holes on the outside of the square stone house.
Frentzberger pulled all the 200 musketeers withdrawn into the stone house above the city, and let them shoot outward from the shooting hole. Although it was rainy, the musketeers' previous ropes were also wet. However, Frenzberg soon distributed a batch of dry fire ropes packed in leather bags from the warehouse. At the same time, a batch of gunpowder was reissued, which was also packed in a leather bag to prevent rain.
As a result, the musketeers who entered the Shitou Stone House restored their shooting capabilities. At the same time, on the Friesian side, although Siwag sent down several bronze cannons from the warship, they intended to use them for siege. But what made Sivag so depressed that he vomited blood was that the powder kegs on the frisian ship were wet ...
After a long bombardment, the Friesland army had little gunpowder left, only 10 barrels of gunpowder. Friesland's six warships are not large and do not have multiple decks. Therefore, the Frisian artillery and gunpowder were placed on the top deck. Although the gunpowder barrel is not directly placed on the deck, it is also directly placed on the staircase opening on the top deck leading to the lower cabin for the gunner to access.
Unfortunately, the Frisians did not expect that it would suddenly rain, and there was no rain protection for the powder pail. In addition, during the previous shelling, many barrels of gunpowder were opened for backup. Therefore, the Frisian gunpowder was basically damp.
As a result, Siwag brought four 6-pound cannons on land, useless. Seeing this rainy weather lasted for a while, Sivag was helpless.
However, he thought that because of the rainy weather, Texel's muskets would probably not be used ...
But when the Frisian army approached the castle wall with a simple ascending ladder, the gun rang ...
"I ... aren't these bastards' fire ropes and gunpowder wet? Why can they still shoot!"
Squinting his head as the first wave of attackers was shot back with a musket. He didn't want to think about it. How could Denborg, as Marin's base camp, have no gunpowder and rope ...
Until the artillery could not show its power, Siwag gave up his plan to attack the Dengbao and began to divide the troops and go robbery around Texel Island ...
Soon after, Sivag's men found a large granary in the agricultural village De Koch north of Denborg. The granary was filled with rye ...
报告 "Report ... Lord ... Lord ... we found a huge granary!" The captain in charge of the robbery gasped to report to Siwag.
"How big is it?" Asked Silvag, who was outside the city of Denborg and the Texel garrison, against him.
"In the granary, there are about 3,000 bags of rye, each weighing about 100 pounds ..."
"What?" Sivag jumped in shock. His family was also the owner of the manor, 3,000 bags of rye, about 300,000 pounds of rye, several times higher than the annual output of his manor.
"I sent it, so much food is enough to eat for a long time. The food we sent this time will also make Marin's little thief out. Ah ha ha ha ..."
Swag, who was excited, immediately dispatched several carriages with carriages seized from Oddsfield to the De Koch granary to pull food.
Suddenly, in anxiety to Franz Berg and others on the city wall, Siwag went to De Koog to transport food, almost swinging past the city wall.
But Fronzberg is not sad at all, because the large granary in the newspaper city also has 2 million pounds of rye, which is enough for the city of Den Burg to persist for a long time.
Soon after, Sivag's men once again found another granary in the farm north of Texel, Kirk de Cox, with 4,000 bags of rye ...
Siswag was so excited that he didn't know what to say. Soon, he sent someone to take a boat from Oddshild and return to the base of Harlingen. He reported that the granary on the island was basically robbed by him ...
After discovering that there were no surplus granaries on the island, the Frisian army began to plunder the property on the island's farms outside the city. What makes people speechless is that these Frisian infantry even took the iron farm tools used by the serfs as treasures, sickles, hoes and other things were carried away by the Frisians.
Fortunately, the horses used to cultivate the land on the island belonged to Marin, and were already brought into the city by Franzberg. The curved ploughs used for arable land were also locked in Denborg's warehouses. Otherwise, those advanced Qu Qu plows must be carried away by these bandits and cause technical leaks ...
得 After learning that there are about 500 Uegram winter wheat north of Den Burg, Sivag remembers the orders of the lawmakers-try to destroy all the crops and houses on the island.
Then, Sivag sent soldiers, escorted a large number of serfs captured from the farm, ordered them to go to the ground, all the 500 young wheat winter wheat seedlings were pulled up and shipped together, and finally thrown into the sea ...
Looking at the wheat seedlings that were thrown into the sea, Sivag laughed arrogantly, as if he had seen Marin's impoverished appearance after the bankruptcy ...
At the same time, several barons heard of Siwag's plundering of 700,000 pounds of rye from the island in Harlingen's Frisian coalition base camp. At first, they were very excited, and then started a heated argument about the distribution of these loot. stand up……
They all want to share more rye to compensate the cost of sending troops, but they do not give up. As a result, several members of the parliament, blushing and thick necks at the Harlingen barracks, sent hands to perform martial arts.
As for Baron Zver, Leeuwarden, he was busy taking hundreds of fishermen and their fishing boats to Harlingen to help him fish.
对 "Yes, pay attention to Tholentcher's artillery!" Governor Fyskefrijheid remembered the eight heavy artillery in Tholentcher's port.
As a result, the messenger hurried down to the city of Denborg and told Silvag EbookFREE.me ~ to ask Silvag to temporarily abandon the siege of Denborg, but to find a way to win Tholencher.
As a result, Sivag left 120 heavy cavalry to monitor Denborg, and the rest were taken to Tholencher to prepare for the port ...
But, as Tholentcher, the only trading port on Texel, would Marin not care? The walls of Tholencher were not worse than those of Dengbao. They were all built with outsourced stones and were extremely solid. In addition, there are 100 musketeers hiding in the stone house on the city ...
Lusigwag had no artillery support and no rich siege equipment, and there was no way to take the 400 garrison guarding Tholencher. In desperation, he only scored soldiers and robbed near Tholencher.
Alas, the villagers of the nearby fishing village were sacked, their homes were ransacked, and many people's houses were also toppled ... As for the fishermen themselves and their families, they were also abducted.
Because the Friesland Aristocracy is a country that attaches great importance to fisheries. And the fishermen can provide most of the catch for the nobles of the country.
Therefore, the nobles of the Friesland Noble Republic valued the fishermen more. Instead of abducting the serfs, they just snatched all the serfs' possessions (including rations) and production tools. But more than 800 fishermen on the island were abducted by the Frisian army ...
But funny, the adobe house built by Marin on Texel Island seems to be more robust because it uses thatch as "bones". Therefore, Frisian soldiers are often responsible for destroying the house, often hitting the wall and making it difficult to destroy.
It is the old houses with wooden structures that are very simple to destroy. Just drop them, just a little bit ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Welcome the book readers to read, the latest, fastest and hottest serial works are in ~ www. EbookFREE.me ~ Please read for mobile users.
