The parliament of the two cities of Lubeck and Hamburg quickly approved plans to use army mercenaries to attack the Danish sailor positions on both sides of the Bay of Copenhagen.

After receiving the news, the joint fleet immediately passed the news to Marin. However, Marin did not immediately organize a crossing of the sea, but asked the joint fleet to clean up all the seas around Zeland Island first. Especially in the Jutland Peninsula to Zeland Island, the sea surface must be cleaned up, and there must be no Danish ship. If you encounter it, you will detain it all...

In fact, this is an hinting at the joint fleet to snatch Danish civilian ships...

The Kingdom of Denmark is not only a naval power, but also a lot of Denmark on civilian ships. There are many merchant ships and fishing boats. It’s okay to have fishing boats, but those merchant ships are all competitors of the Hanseatic League.

After hearing Marin's arrangement, Lubeck and the commander of Hamburg all understood. Then, the joint fleet only left half of the warships to monitor the Bay of Copenhagen, and all the other ships went around the island of Zeland to "clear the sea."

When these warships encountered a merchant ship, they immediately rushed forward and stopped the other party. If they found that the merchant ship belonged to Denmark, they would be seized without saying a word. Then, the sailors on the ship temporarily became coolies, and the merchant ship itself was confiscated directly.

In particular, the Joint Fleet blocked the Great Belt Strait west of Zeland and cut off the connection between Zeland and other Denmark islands. Whether it is fishing boats or ferries, it is prohibited to go to sea. Once discovered, either the ship is detained or sunk.

However, everyone found that it was too inconvenient to transport the coalition army from Auburnro to the Island of Zeland. Because the island of Phine and some densely populated islands were separated by the middle, it affected the safety of navigation. So Marin made a decision - the army continued to go north and seized the port city of Waelle in the north, and boarded the ship and flew to the east.

The city of Waelle is not big, but it is an important port. It mainly exports livestock produced in the Jutland Peninsula and is an important livestock export and wholesale market. Denmark's core island of Zeland also relies on the meat and fur of livestock produced in the Jutland Peninsula from Waelle.

Previously, Marin sent cavalry to rob horses everywhere, and outside the city of Waelle, robbed an important horse farm belonging to the Danish royal family and robbed 1,800 horses. Among them, more than 800 good horses that have been trained to be war horses. According to the captive horse owners, 500 of the war horses trained in the horse farm have been sent to Waelle, waiting for the Danish royal family to send ships to the island of Zeland to supply Danish troops.

However, because of the war, the Danes' fleets all retreated into the Bay of Copenhagen and were unable to transport horses. In other words, the 500 war horses were still stranded in the city of Vaile.

Not only that, there are many cattle and sheep in the city of Vaile. Most of these cattle and sheep are to be transported to the island of Zeland and become beef and mutton on the dining tables of Copenhagen nobles and civilians. However, due to the war, transportation has also been suspended.

Just so happened that when Obenro came to Zeland, he had too many obstacles. So Marin simply ordered to seize Waelle first. Not only could he obtain a port facing Zeland, but he could also intercept the horses, cattle and sheep in the city, making a big splash.

Then, Marin once again assembled a large army and continued to march north...

At this time, the army had a main body of 30,000 people, but the auxiliary troops were all replaced. The 20,000 main force and 10,000 baggage troops led by Marin had already divided 5,000 people and stationed several cities in the Principality of Shileswig.

These baggage units are different from those of Hamburg and Lübeck. They have received several months of military training and are barely considered new recruits. It may be a problem to let them fight against each other's soldiers, but the problem is not big. After all, the rural nobles around the city have been cleaned up by the army.

The troops stationed in several cities in the Principality of Holstein were later transferred from the local area and did not split the original 10,000 troops. Therefore, until now, the 30,000 troops of the main coalition forces have not changed much.

As for Marin, after separating 5,000 baggage troops, he temporarily recruited 5,000 Germans from the southern part of the Duchy of Schleswig to act as civilians, helping the army transport baggage... and the stolen goods...

The 30,000 army was an unstoppable torrent that crushed all obstacles. Hazesleu, a small town north of Obanro, was too fragile. Under the bombardment of more than a dozen heavy artillery, a hole was broken in less than an hour. The blasting team brought a gunpowder barrel and easily exploded the city gate. At this time, behind the city gate, Hazesleu's defenders were still piled up bricks and wood behind the city gate... When the blasting team exploded, the defenders were buried under the bricks and stones...

There were only 200 defenders in the city, so what was the opponent? As soon as the army entered the city, they surrendered immediately. The entire siege process did not exceed half a day...

After plundering the official silver treasury and the reserves in the granary, Malin took the army away directly, leaving no defenders to station here. Because this small town was not his target.

The army continued northward, arrived in Waelle, and surrounded the city...

When the coalition forces arrived in Waelle, there were many fences with livestock on the port dock outside Waelle...

As a livestock export port, it is obviously impossible for all livestock to be placed in the city. After all, livestock are very terrible to poop. Therefore, livestock are mostly placed in some temporary fences near the dock outside the city, waiting for merchant ships to transport them away.

When the coalition forces seized the port, the fences on the pier were filled with horses, cattle and sheep. However, the 500 war horses mentioned in the information were placed in the city because of their valuable materials. Most of the livestock on the pier were cattle and sheep, and some horses were also taken away, but they were not very expensive.

Regardless of whether it is valuable or not, Malin captured thousands of cattle and tens of thousands of sheep on the dock, Malin immediately arranged for people to kill some of the cattle and sheep and give the soldiers extra meals.

After eating and drinking, the army began to attack the city early the next morning...

Although Vael is a livestock export port, the city itself is not very important. Therefore, the city gate is not too thick, but it is much stronger than the city gate of Hazesleu. After half a day of blasting, a hole was smashed. Then, the blasting team buried gunpowder barrels thousands of...

After a loud bang, Wael's east gate was broken...

When the army invaded the city, the defenders were divided into two factions...

It turned out that there was a guard directly under the Danish royal court in the city, with about 100 people. This time they came here to help the royal family go to the royal horse farm outside the city of Wael to select the war horses. This time, they selected 500 war horses and planned to bring them back to Copenhagen to serve as special war horses for the royal guards. Unfortunately, before they could return to Zeland, they encountered the invasion of the joint fleet. The Danish navy shrank, so they naturally did not dare to return on ordinary merchant ships, so they temporarily stayed in the city of Wael.

There were originally only 400 garrisons in the city of Vaile. When facing the 30,000 coalition troops, these local garrisons were scared to death. How could they dare to resist? As soon as the city gate was broken, most of the local defenders chose to surrender. Only the 100 Danish royal guards were loyal to the royal family and chose to resist stubbornly. They retreated into a castle and continued to resist the coalition.

Marin sent people to launch a total of the castle, but unexpectedly, these royal guards had excellent martial arts skills, which caused seventy or eighty casualties to the army. Seeing that they could not capture it for a long time, Marin was furious and withdrew all the troops. After blowing up the castle gate, he threw a lot of firewood into it, and then lit a fire...

In an instant, smoke was everywhere in the castle. No matter how good these royal guards were in martial arts, they were still so smoky that they were so smoky that they had no choice but to surrender after being smoked and lost their combat effectiveness. After surrendering, the captain of the Royal Guard Peterson, probably felt that he had no face to face the Danish king, actually chose suicide attacks and was beaten into a sieve by the musketeers (Catholics prohibited suicide, so he could only commit suicide like this).

Marin was also very impressed by this loyal subordinate, although he was the enemy. So Marin personally held a funeral for Chief Peterson Guardian and promoted this example of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism to the soldiers. Of course, those living royal guards were not so lucky. They were all tied up on iron chains and were imprisoned... Moreover, before being imprisoned, they were all publicly despised...
