The Rise of the European Emperor

Cage and his three hundred special forces did not attack that night after all. The reason for giving up the attack was because Marin's army had only attacked the city during the day, and the Danish army's vigilance was still very strong at this time. If they attacked the city that night, they might be discovered by the Danish army.

So, Malin waited for two days. When the Danes thought that the East Frisian army had given up the siege, they let Cage and three hundred special forces begin to prepare.

In addition, during these two days, Marin and Schwartz, Woolf Essbrand and others, as well as Cage, discussed the armor of the special forces and what weapons to use.

Because these 300 special forces must first quietly swim across Copenhagen Bay, southeast of Copenhagen, and then climb up the city with flying claws. Therefore, when swimming, the equipment you carry should not be too heavy. Therefore, plate armor is excluded first. The "mahjong mat" armor made of wood chips has become the first choice of 300 special forces because of its good buoyancy. Of course, the "mahjong mat" armor they wear is covered with iron sheets. Although it will increase the weight, the wood chips themselves have good buoyancy, and the weight of the iron sheet is negligible.

In addition, after entering the city, it is best to have a shield because of the need to attack the gates of the city. Iron shield is definitely not good, it is too difficult to swim with an iron shield on your back. So, you still have to choose a wooden shield. Not only is it lightweight, it is convenient for climbing the city wall on the back, and the wooden shield can also provide enough buoyancy when swimming, reducing the pressure of swimming. In addition to shields, the weapons that the special forces attacked were mainly sabers that imitated the "Type 65" cavalry swords used by the light cavalry. This knife is made of high carbon steel, which is very strong and durable. It is very advantageous to cut against the enemy's weapons. Moreover, because the back of the blade is relatively straight, it can also be used for straight stabbing, making a cameo as a one-handed sword. In addition, the weight of the 65 saber is not heavy, only about 19 kilograms, which is much lighter than the rifles of later generations. In addition, the wooden shield made of double-layer wooden boards can also provide a certain amount of buoyancy when arming swimming, making it easy for special forces to arm swimming.

In the two days before the attack, the 300 special forces, under the leadership of Cage, practiced their fighting skills with sabres and shields.

Speaking of which, these special forces are usually not trained in the use of saber. However, it is the first time to use it with a shield. Fortunately, these special forces were originally selected by the entire army as the best fighting men, and two days were enough for them to adapt to the use of sabres and also hold wooden shields.

When Marin's scouts climbed high and used binoculars to observe, it seemed that the hundreds of Danish soldiers guarding the gates of the city were all using spears.

The spear is indeed a good cold weapon, but the spear also has its shortcomings, that is - it cannot be used in a small space. The spear is a wide-open weapon that needs space to be deployed. In the narrow city gate hole, sometimes the short knife is more advantageous. Of course, the premise is that you don't get stabbed by the spear yourself.

Therefore, Marin, Schwartz and others believe that in the narrow city gate, the special forces only need to use a wooden shield to block the stab of the enemy's spear, and then take the opportunity to stick it on it and use a saber to slash.

It's very cheap. And those enemy infantry with spears several meters long, if they were approached, they basically had to wait to be slaughtered. After all, they are facing special forces with high martial arts skills...

Two days later, in the middle of the night, the "Beleaguered" Choir held a grand Danish folk song performance conference outside the southwest city wall of Copenhagen as required.

The Danish soldiers on the southwestern city wall were naturally very interested to watch the wonderful performance of the choir. The soldiers in the northeastern city wall section did not relax their vigilance, for fear that the East Frisian army would take the opportunity to attack at night.

However, the vigilance of the Danish soldiers on the city walls facing the water on the southeast and northwest sides was much less. why? Because, the Danes are also very clear - even if the enemy can climb up a few people from these two walls, they will not be able to meet the follow-up troops and successfully climb the city. After all, the two walls are full of water. If you want to siege a city, you must first fill in rivers and lakes, or build pontoon bridges. But these two actions are impossible to hide from the eyes and ears of the Danish army. Therefore, the Danish soldiers were more at ease with these two city walls, and even a little lax.

When the "Besieged On All Sides" choir began to perform outside the southwest city wall, many Danish officers on duty in the southeast and northwest city walls went directly to the southwest section of the city wall to watch the performance...

In fact, at 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, the vigilance of the Danish defenders was still very high. Even on the city walls facing the water in the southeast and northwest, there are not few soldiers on duty.

But after two o'clock in the morning, the originally tense Danish defenders in the southeast and northwest of the city began to slack off. Many people either fell asleep or went to the southwest section of the city wall to watch the show... …

With 300 men, Cage lurked in the grass on the other side of Copenhagen Bay in the southeastern section of Copenhagen, and carefully observed the movements of the Danish defenders on the city wall with binoculars...

It wasn't until about 3:00 in the morning that Cage confirmed that the section of the city wall where they were going to attack began to really quiet down, and no patrols would pass by from time to time...

Before setting off, Cage asked his correspondent to inform Schwartz, who was leading his troops and lurking near the city gate outside the northeastern city wall—he started to act...

300 special forces, led by Cage, tied a wooden shield like a tortoise shell to their chests to increase buoyancy during armed swimming.

After successfully swimming across the river, Cage was not in a hurry to lead people to the top of the city. After waiting for a while to confirm that there was no one on the top of the city, he started throwing flying claws at the top of the city with his subordinates...

After throwing the flying claws, Cage was not in a hurry to lead people to climb the city wall, but waited for a while and found that no enemy noticed this before taking everyone and quietly climbed the city wall.

Then, on the other side of the city, Cage and others did not go down the normal stairs. Because there must be night guards on the stairs.

So, they simply used flying claws to hook the inner edge at the other end of the city wall, and everyone tied them down from the ropes so as not to be discovered by the enemy guarding the stairs. Of course, before everyone went down, the last person to come down threw everyone else's flying claws down, and only one flying claw was stuck on the city head and was not taken down.

After successfully entering the city, Cage didn't say a word, and directly led his subordinates, wearing a "mahjong mat" wood chip armor, holding a saber and a wooden shield, quietly avoiding the patrols of the defenders, and walked to the northeast to the inside of the city gate... …

At this time, European cities were generally not large. It took only about 30 minutes for Cage and others to touch the inner side of the gate of the northeast city wall from the southeast section of the city wall.

Coming to an alley on the inner side of the northeast city gate, Cage looked at the city gate hole and found that there were indeed many people stationed inside. Although most of the defenders slept on the floor in the city gate hole, there were still many people on duty at night. Moreover, these soldiers guarding the gates of the city are definitely elites. Because at this time about a hundred people are still awake. And about 300 other people, although they slept, they were lying on their backs, they didn't take off their clothes, and there were spears beside them. As long as the enemy attacks from the inside, those who are on duty at night roar, and these sleeping veterans will quickly get up and pick up the spear to block the enemy's attack...

If you encounter ordinary enemies, you really can't do anything about them. Because, according to the habit of Marin raiding the city in the past, usually one or two hundred people would be dispatched to mix into the city after wearing makeup, and then launch a surprise attack. As for sending more people in? That is impossible. After all, European cities are generally small at this time, and it is very conspicuous that you flood into hundreds of strong men at once, and it is difficult not to arouse suspicion...

Therefore, under normal circumstances, Denmark sent hundreds of elite veterans to guard the gates of the city, and they occupied favorable terrain, so they should not be breached. For this reason, the confident Danes did not block the iron city gate with bricks and wood during the war... The reason why Woolf Esbrand suggested letting the special forces attack is that he knew the iron city in the city. There is no blockage behind the door. As long as there are hundreds of Danish elites in hundreds of city gates, you can open the city gates and let in the main force.

However, things are not that simple. After all, there are more than 400 elite Danish veterans in the city gate hole. In addition, there is a military camp not far from the city gate. As long as the soldiers in the Chengmen Cave persisted for a quarter to half an hour, they could wait for reinforcements. As soon as reinforcements arrive, the raiders are sure to be doomed.

But Marin's three hundred special forces were no ordinary soldiers. They were a team of fierce men. Coupled with having a wooden shield, it can attack the formations of those spearmen at will. So, nothing is the same...

While most of the soldiers in the city gate cave were sleeping peacefully, Cage suddenly took 300 of his men with him, without saying a word or shouting slogans such as "kill it", he just rushed up silently...

"Quick! Get up, Luca, Anthony, there are enemies attacking the northeast gate from the city, everyone stand up to resist!"

With a cry, more than 400 old soldiers in the city gate cave stood up one after another, armed with spears, and began to stand guard...

It is a pity that the 300 East Frisian special forces who rushed in each had a wooden shield in their hands. Relying on the wooden shield, they smashed the stabs of the Danish spearmen, and successfully broke into the Danish veterans' formation, armed with sabres, and began to slash at will...

Because it is difficult to use spears to turn in the narrow city gate hole, when they are approached by the East Frisian special forces, these elite spearmen have become cups...

In just 15 minutes, 300 special forces, relying on extremely skilled fighting skills, easily eliminated more than 400 Danish elite infantry soldiers who could not use spears in the city gate hole. Then, with the efforts of Cage and others, the big iron gate of the northeast city wall, with a muffled sound of "creaking", completely opened...

Seeing this situation, Schwartz, who was ambushed outside the northeast city wall with his men and horses, immediately commanded the army, from the city gate in the northeast of Copenhagen, flooded into Copenhagen again like a tide... js3v3
