"We divided the army into two groups and took turns to attack the city, day and night. Our army can take turns to rest, but the Italians in the city have no chance to rest. I think it will take two days, and the other party will be unable to support it..." Charlie, Earl of Gelden, made a suggestion.

"This is a good idea!" Several other princes immediately agreed after hearing this.

In fact, Charlie, Earl of Gelden, thought for a long time. In the end, he thought - since we have many soldiers, why not take advantage of this advantage?

More than 40,000 people beat 10,000 people, which has an advantage in numbers. When siegeing the city, there is no need for 40,000 people to act together. If you attack the city in groups, it can make the Italian mercenaries who are defending the city exhausted.

Especially the siege at night can prevent the Italian mercenaries in the city from getting a good rest, making the other party extremely tired. There is no problem for a day or two, but for more than two days, people will definitely not be able to stand it.

To this end, the eight princes made a decision after careful discussion - more than 40,000 people were divided into two groups, each group of about 20,000. Among them, the elite troops were responsible for siegeing the city during the day. The second-line troops, mainly recruiting troops, were responsible for siegeing the city at night and interfering with the other party's rest.

In order to achieve this goal, the coalition forces built a new camp 2 kilometers away from the camp outside the city. After the elite troops completed the siege mission during the day, they went to the new camp 2 kilometers away to rest at night to avoid being quarreled by night siege.

Similarly, after the night siege mission is completed, the second-line troops will also go to the new camp 2 kilometers away during the day to sleep during the day to replenish their physical strength.

After the arrangement was made, the coalition of princes of the eight countries began a rotational siege battle...

...

In fact, when dealing with such a method, Malin knew the way to crack it - to divide the city guards into two groups, one group defended the city during the day and one group guarded the city at night. As for the noise of being sieged during the rest period, it was very simple, just stuff cotton into your ears...

But Europeans have never seen this common sense response method in China. Therefore, the Italian mercenaries guarding Oldenburg City were caught...

Because they did not know how to rest in batches and sleep with things to plug their ears, Italian mercenaries had to persist in defending the city with fatigue. Many soldiers even brought the bedding to the city wall and seized every opportunity to take a short look.

However, in the face of the 24-hour harassment by the coalition of princes of the Eight Kingdoms, even if the Italian mercenaries brought the bedding to the city wall, they would not have a chance to rest...

...

Just as the Eight-National Princes coalition was hiring mercenaries day and night in Oldenburg City and Italian mercenaries, Marin also received news that the Eight-National Princes sent envoys to contact the Second and Third Legions.

However, the messengers sent to the Third Legion were taken to Steindorf, but the messengers sent to the Jutland Peninsula were intercepted by the Cossacks...

After all, Alsace left 2,000 Cossack cavalry in Schleswig Province and blocked all roads. The messengers sent to the Jutland region were intercepted by these Cossacks.

"Master, how should we deal with it?" Kohler asked.

Marin tapped the table with his fingers, thought for a while, and said:

"Tell Steindorf to treat the messenger well. Then, try to hold the other person down and don't rush to respond. At the same time, let him tell the other person - he will not agree without seeing the cash. At the same time, act like he is going south at any time..."

"What you mean is to let Steindorf pretend to agree?"

"That's right, if Steindorf didn't pretend to agree, they would probably be scared away. It would be difficult to wipe out the whole thing." Marin nodded.

"What should I do with the commander of the Wagner Legion? The Second Legion has been transported to the local area! What if the messengers they sent cannot find someone?" Kohler asked again.

"This is a problem. If the other envoy cannot find the Second Legion, he will definitely be suspicious..." Marin fell into deep thought...

After a while, Marin made a decision—

"The remaining 5,000 troops from the Second Legion brought to the local fleet, have not left yet?"

After receiving Kohler's affirmative answer, Marin continued:

"Let the fleet transport 5,000 new recruits from the newly formed Second Legion to disguise the Second Legion. At the same time, Wagner brought several backbones of the Second Legion back to Jutland Peninsula to deal with the envoys of the Eight-National Princes coalition forces..."

"But it's too late! Lord, the fleet's navigation speed is not as fast as the speed of running on land. What if the other envoy rushed to Jutland before the fleet arrived and didn't see the Second Legion?" Kohler said with a bitter face.

Marin waved his hand:

"That's not a problem! Haven't the three groups of envoys sent by the princes of the Eight Kingdoms to find the Second Legion all been intercepted by Cossacks? After our fleet set off, you send someone to inform the Cossacks to release the envoys. At the same time, tell the envoys that the land route to Jutland will be blocked. At that time, the princes of the Eight Kingdoms will definitely send envoys to search for Wagner on the sea route. They are not as quick as they walk on the sea route. When they arrive in Jutland, Wagner has already been waiting there with 5,000 new recruits."

"And what the princes of the Eight Kingdom really valued was Steindolf's Third Legion in Schleswig Province. Because the Third Legion moved south the fastest and most likely to threaten the coalition of the Eight Kingdoms. As for the Second Legion, the princes of the Eight Kingdoms did not care much. Because there was a third legion between the Second Legion and the coalition of the Eight Kingdoms. Without knowing that we had a large fleet to transport the Second Legion, the princes of the Eight Kingdoms would not attach so much importance to the enlistment of the Second Legion."

Kohler nodded and soon did things according to Marin's arrangement...

Steindorf, after receiving the order, immediately changed into a greedy face. On the one hand, he said that he would agree not to interfere if he wanted to get the money, and on the other hand, he also acted as if he wanted to go south to serve the king. But no matter how he looked at that attitude, it seemed like taking the opportunity to extort...

"What? That Steindorf wants to increase the price? 500,000 gold coins are not enough to cost 700,000? Why didn't he grab it?"

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! After hearing Steindorf's request, several princes showed angry expressions. But Charlie, Earl of Gelden, smiled and said:

"I'm not afraid of him not being greedy, but I'm afraid that he will not be moved by money. I'm determined to return to Malin's command! As long as he doesn't bring his troops back to Malin's command, we won't be defeated!"

The other princes suddenly realized that it was right. If the other party did not love money and chose to return to Malin's command, it would be a fatal blow to them.

When sending out the second batch of negotiating messengers, Charlie Earl of Gelden repeatedly reminded the messengers-

"When I arrived at Steindorf, I negotiated with him on the one hand the amount of money, and on the other hand, I repeatedly emphasized to him that Marin's pardon for their betrayal was the most expedient measure. After the war, he would definitely be liquidated. So, it would be better to cooperate with us!"

Earl Charlie is actually right. Generally speaking, even if the betrayer returns to his original owner, he will definitely receive suspicion, and it will be difficult to have a future. He may even be lien.

But the premise is that the betrayal of Steindorf and Wagner is a real betrayal...

When betrayal is fake, Marin will definitely not deal with Steindorf and others. But the outside world doesn't know that, and he thought Steindorf and Wagner really betrayed. Under the preconceived circumstances, the princes all believed that Steindorf would not return to Marin's command, the right choice...

...

The conversation was divided into two parts. Just when the representatives of the princes were arguing with Steindolf, the eight-nation princes' coalition forces attacked Oldenburg City day and night.

After a few days and nights, the Italians finally couldn't bear it. Before, the excitement and passionate blood of having huge wealth disappeared due to the destruction of not sleeping for several days. Then, the combat effectiveness of the Italian mercenaries returned to normal levels...

Finally, after four days and three nights of persistence, the Italian mercenaries also started to doze off while standing, all with dark circles...

Seeing the Italian mercenaries standing on the top of the city, nodding and dozing, the eight princes finally smiled proudly...

"Okay, the general attack is today. Today, 40,000 troops will be dispatched together! This time, let's do it!"

In this way, at noon, the coalition of princes of the 40,000 countries launched the most fierce attack on the city wall while the Italian mercenaries in the city were dozing off while having lunch...

A thousand elite dead soldiers selected by the eight princes, wearing high-end leather armor and carrying a knife, suddenly rushed up to the city wall under the cover of ordinary soldiers and launched the fiercest attack on the Italian mercenaries who were dozing off and having lunch on the city wall. Then, the thousand elite soldiers quickly rushed down the city wall and occupied the gate hole of the South Gate. While resisting the counterattack of the city defenders, they asked someone to clean up the debris accumulated in the gate hole...
