Chapter 111: Enclose Leeuwarden

一 In the early morning of the next day, after Harlingen's captives were settled, Schwartz began counting inventory with Zieg. However, the brave Swiss mercenaries were brave when fighting, but not honest when taking inventory. Many of the coins seized in the town were quietly hidden in their pockets.
In this regard, Schwartz, who had been told by Marin, pretended not to see it. As far as money is concerned, he knows that there is no shortage of their young masters, not to mention that there are still tens of thousands of gold coins on the island, and there are still 750,000 gold coins on the island.
It was the food and farm tools that were seized, and Schwartz attached great importance. Because food is the foundation to feed everyone, and farm tools have an important role in the spring plowing that has begun.
What's more, Schwartz immediately gathered the more than 800 former Texel fishermen on the shore that were originally under the care of Frisian soldiers, and was preparing to move back to Texel.
Even the original 600 fishermen and their fishing boats in Harlingen fishing port, Schwartz did not let go, they gathered together, intending to take them all to Texel Island.
As for Sauer, two energetic horses were found in the stables behind the town hall, and one scout was mounted to report the results of Marin's victory. Their horses are tired of running, and they need to rest for at least two days before they can recover. Therefore, Harlingen's horse can only be borrowed.
After the tragedy, Sauer recruited a group of former fishermen on the island of Texel and asked them to take a fishing boat and carry a scout captain to Odeshilde across the sea. The scout's own letter, Marin, asked Franzberg to lead 1,000 men immediately to cross the sea to help siege Leeuwarden. As for the island, there are more than 200 people left, plus some serfs to help defend it.
At this point in time, there is no second force threatening Texel. Therefore, Marin hoped to gather more men and horses to siege Leeuwarden and fight for the captive of the Frisian 9 as a noble congressman, called the gate of Groningen, to achieve the purpose of annexing Frisian.
Twenty days later, the fishing boat arrived at Oderschild. After the scout captain came ashore, he quickly found the horses, rushed to Denborg, and met Fronzberg.
Frentzberg was overjoyed when he received the letter from Marin. After confirming that it was Marin's handwritten letter and comparing the authenticity of the seal, Frenzberger immediately convened all soldiers and horses, and took away all 300 musketeers and all powder lead in accordance with Marin's requirements.
When Fronzberg arrived in the port of Oderschild with 1,000 men, Schwartz had led all the fishermen and fishing boats that had been snatched by Friesland, returned to Oderschild, and brought back There were 600 fishermen and their fishing boats that originally belonged to Friesland.
Because Marin treats the fishermen better, these fishermen have also accepted the recruitment of Texel Island. However, they were also worried about the return of the Frisian Aristocratic Republic. In response, Schwartz told them with confidence-Texel will win this battle ...
With enough fishing boats, Flenzberg's team could easily cross the sea. As a result, Frenzberger personally took 500 soldiers on board, and sailed towards Harlingen ...
By noon the next day, all of the 1,000 troops under Franzberg had landed in Harlingen. After completing the assembly, Schwartz suddenly remembered that the siege required artillery. So he dismantled four 6-pound cannons on the Frisian warship, and appointed a group of surrendered gunners to follow Flenzberg's team and march towards Leeuwarden ...
Sau Harlingen is not far from Leeuwarden. That night, 1,000 Frenzbergers arrived under Leeuden, and the Swiss army led by Marin, who arrived two hours earlier, completed the meeting. The two sides approached 4,000 men and horses, divided into two parts, set up camps, and besieged Leeuwarden.
Among them, the 1,000 Texel army led by Frentzberg was responsible for defending Westward of Leeuwarden. The Swiss army is divided into three parts, which surround the east, south, and north. Sauer, with 50 light cavalry and scouts, was divided into three squads, monitoring the city of Leeuwarden day and night to prevent the enemy from breaking out in the middle of the night.
防 In order to prevent the enemy from rushing out of the city on horseback, Marin ordered that a few trenches be dug outside the gates of Leeuwarden to stop the enemy from rushing out on horseback.
Then, the army of the siege began to build camps and cook with fire ...
In the town of Leeuwarden, the 9 members of the Frisian Aristocratic Republic discussed what ...
"Master, I think we should ask the French for help!" Said a member of parliament.
"I still use this to say? I already sent someone to Paris for help. However, Paris is a long way from here. It takes a long time for the French to receive a letter of help, plus they need to spend time mobilizing the army and spend more time. Come here, I'm afraid we won't be able to support that time ... "
怎么 "How can it be? Governor, the wall of Leeuwarden is so tall and strong, no matter how powerful the enemy is, it will take two or three months to break through it? By then, the French reinforcements should arrive ..."
"You're right, Baron Hood, but Leeuwarden's food reserves are not enough ..." The landlord of Leeuwarden and Baron Zetter sighed ...
啊 "Ah? Then ... how long is the food in the city?"
"Enough to eat for a month ..."
"Ah ... didn't we grab 700,000 pounds of rye from Texel?"
"It's all in Harlingen ~ EbookFREE.me ~ During the day, a messenger from the town of Zurich (not Zurich, Switzerland) near Harlingen came to report that Harlingen was changed hands by a Texel attack. And, our 6 Five warships were captured ... "Governor Fyskefrijheid said, depressed.
"How do people in Zurich know that Harlingen has fallen?" Everyone was surprised. Zurich is a short distance south of Harlingen.
"When the Texels attacked Harlingen at night, there were exactly some people on the battleship 'Viking'. They fled with the 'Viking'. They made a large circle at sea and later docked in Zurich, Zurich. The talent got the news ... "
"唉 " Everyone can only sigh.
"I hope the French move quickly, otherwise we can only choose to surrender ..." Everyone present was speechless ...
In the early morning of the next day, more than 20 captive gunners from the Frentzberg array pulled out four 6-pound bronze Fran machine guns, set them in front of the array, adjusted their angles, and began to bombard Westward Gate in Leeuwarden. .
And in order to keep the shelling going, Marin sent Kohler, with a group of people, to go back to Texel to collect some money, and then go to Antwerp, the largest port city in the Lowlands, to buy gunpowder and 6-pound iron cannonballs To ensure continuous shelling.
