Chapter 205: Victory in the Scarlet

"Before Emden raised his butcher knife against the rebellious civilians, I was just a player in a hegemony game. But after I experienced this mental torment, I gradually grew from a hegemony game player to a cold-blooded Generals and deep rulers. What about the civilians? As long as they pick up weapons and fight with me, that is the enemy that needs to be eliminated. 'One will succeed and the bones die,' perhaps the thousands of people in Emden are just dead. A small part of it. "
From "Memoirs of European Overlord Marin I"
Marin climbed to the top of a small three-story building and observed the situation in the city with a telescope. He found that there were too many troops and people on the other side, and he ran to the east to stop his army. Because, Marin was the only army that broke into the city.
Marin patted his head and suddenly understood. So he called his captain:
"Goring, you take your company, turn around and go back, then, go down the corner, go to the North Gate, open the North Gate, and put in Schwartz's second square. Then, tell Schwartz, after entering the city Send someone to the west to put in the Flenzberg Third Party. "Marin realized that his army was advancing too slowly, so he decided to let Schwartz in the north of the city bring someone to kill in . Therefore, he called the company captain of the last company in the army.
"Will there be enough people over there? Your safety is the most important thing, sir."
"It's okay. The street is so narrow. The number of people on my side is absolutely enough. Hurry up. It's not always possible to entangle with this group of citizens."
"Yes!"
Then Goring took his company out of the rear of the army and retreated to the foot of the wall at the east gate. At the foot of the city wall, there is a road next to the city wall, which is wider than the street where Marin lives. The ring road in this city is to facilitate the transportation of ordnance while guarding the city.
At this time, because Marin suddenly invaded the city, the garrison in the city had no time to board the east wall defense. And, that doesn't make sense anymore. Because, the East Gate has been broken. Many fighters who were originally responsible for guarding the East Wall simply ran from the alleys in the city to the front of the Marin army, blocking the advance of Marin's first square and the Frisian cannon fodder.
As a result, Goreen's company was largely unresisted. Only when they reached the foot of the northern wall, were they attacked by the garrison on the wall. Several soldiers were killed and injured on the spot by stones dropped from the city's head. But Gorin didn't pause, took his men, trot all the way, and went straight to the North Gate.
The guards on the city's head immediately panicked, and they shouted:
"Protect the North Gate! Protect the North Gate! The enemy is attacking!"
However, this is not very useful, because the total number of defenders in the city is only 1,400, including 1,000 straw hat swordsmen and 400 auxiliary soldiers. Those auxiliary soldiers are actually militia. Let them rely on the city walls to guard and fight again. If they landed, they would not be opponents of the regular army.
Sure enough, after 100 auxiliary troops came down on the north wall, Golin's company rushed forward without hesitation ...
After a fierce fight, Gorin's army quickly controlled the North Gate and opened the gate after paying dozens of casualties ...
"How's it going, Goring, Lord Baron?" Schwartz asked quickly as he entered the city.
"Fortunately, the resistance in the city is too fierce. The people in the city are like magicians, fighting the footsteps of adults. Moreover, the street is also very narrow, the first square cannot advance quickly, and the speed of advance Slow. So he sent me to answer you. In addition, the Lord asked you to send a company to seize Simon and put in a third party outside Simon. "
"Okay, no problem!" Schwartz, quickly patted a company, went to Simon. Then, he left some people to guard the city gate, and took the main force of the army, marching down the street and marching towards the center of the city.
The road from the North Gate to the Royal Palace is also relatively narrow. Throughout the city of Emden, only the north-south street leading from the royal palace to the south gate is fast. Therefore, Schwartz's march was not fast.
However, it seemed that the defenders and the people in the city were attracted by Marin's army. Therefore, the resistance of the Second Front was very weak, with only a few civilians.
However, these civilians did not have a straw hat and a swordsman in front, and their combat effectiveness was too weak, and they were cleaned up by the soldiers of the Second Front within a few moments.
More than an hour later, Simon was also opened, and the third party of Fronzberg also entered the city. At the same time, Frenzberger also sent someone to open the South Gate ...
At two o'clock in the afternoon, 500 soldiers also entered the South Gate. However, the fourth square of the South Gate is cautious. To prevent the enemy from escaping from the south gate, seize the pier. Therefore, the fourth square of the South Gate kept most of the troops guarding the gates and docks, sending only 500 people into the city.
But the sudden influx of thousands of troops into the city completely made the city's defenders completely desperate. Originally, relying on the narrow streets, the city's garrison and the people could resist Marin's First Front and the cannon fodder. However, after the other three city gates were opened, the desperate resistance on East Street lost its meaning ...
In the fierce assassination, in addition to the trapped Marin, the other three army troops quickly approached Emden's palace ...
"Hurry up, let the heavy armored swordsmen retreat to the royal palace and keep it!" In the palace, Edsad I saw this, and hurriedly ordered the heavy armored swordsmen who were originally outside the palace to retreat into the palace.
Emden's palace is not a traditional palace, but a sturdy castle with strong defense capabilities. Therefore, the 500 heavy armored swordsman who enters the palace can definitely stay for a long time.
As for the other 500 heavy armored swordsmen who were sent to resist Marin's First Front, at this time, they were entangled with Marin's army, and they could not return anymore. Moreover, these 500 people have lost a hundred or dozen people. Hitting a few times in Marin's musket unit, wearing heavy armor was useless. Although the street is small, Nai Marin ordered the musketeer to climb the roof and shoot ...
And the other three-way army, after encircling Emden Palace, sent out the elite, went to East Street, and together with the First Faction, doubled up the garrison on the street ...
By evening ~ EbookFREE.me ~ the Frisian army on East Street had been mostly destroyed. Then, there were 100 straw hat swordsmen left, all of them captured.
But for Emden Palace, Marin had no choice. This castle, more than his newspaper, is also more sturdy and luxurious.
In addition, there are 500 well-equipped straw hat swordsmen. If it is a storm, there is no certainty ...
In desperation, Marin could only leave half of them to continue the siege. Others, began to control other areas in the city ...
At this time, the four main roads were stained with blood, and East Street even flowed into a river. Marin's victory was basically obtained from the bones of the Emdens. However, Marin does not regret it. Because this is not his initiative to raise the butcher knife. Those civilians who were killed were killed because they held weapons against Marin's army and died not innocently.
In this assassination of civilians, Marin's heart became colder and harder. He knew that, as a qualified commander, he was very taboo about showing mercy to the enemy. Of course, in the face of civilians who have not resisted, they can't mess around. Killing rebellious civilians is self-defense. And killing civilians who have not resisted is animal behavior ...
