The Rise of the European Emperor

Although morale was high, Marin did not immediately bring the two legions and joined forces with the princes of the Eight Kingdoms to fight desperately. Because, under the circumstance that the number of people varies greatly, even if the Beihai army can defeat the opponent, it cannot achieve complete annihilation. After all, there is a shortage of manpower, and if the enemy wants to escape, it is too late to stop him.

And this time, Marin didn't just want to defeat the enemy, but wanted to wipe it out. But on the North German Plain, if you want to completely wipe out the opponent, you must have enough manpower to contain the opponent's broken troops.

Therefore, Marin endured temporarily, and did not immediately enter Oldenburg, but waited for the opportunity.

Also, the Allied Forces of the Eight Kingdoms have not yet conquered Oldenburg City. If the Italian mercenaries survived, wouldn't Marin give the Italians the property worth 2 million gold coins in Oldenburg as agreed? This is a loss-making business. Therefore, Marin had to wait for the Italians to be defeated first.

Of course, he did not do nothing, but posted a notice with great fanfare, asking Steindorf and Wagner, the two commanders of the third and second armies, to immediately return to the North Sea Kingdom and return to the establishment. As for their "disobedient" behavior before, they can let go of the past...

In fact, this was Marin's excuse for the third legion to move south. After all, the Third Army has already "rebellious" on the face of it. At this time, if you want to mobilize the Third Army, you have to "go through the process" and show it to the outside world.

What's more, Marin's move is also to stimulate the Allied Forces of the Eight Kingdoms to finally give up and take the Oldenburg City as soon as possible...

Ma Linming's "pardoning" the "rebellion" of the second and third legions before the "rebellion" is actually to show an attitude - I have not enough manpower now, and I have no confidence...

In this way, it will also give the princes of the Eight Kingdoms an illusion - it turns out that Marin has no confidence to defeat us...

With such an illusion, the coalition of the eight kingdoms and princes will not easily retreat. At least, we have to wait until we have taken down the huge amount of property in Oldenburg City.

As for Marin, what he was most afraid of was that these people lost their courage, voluntarily retreated, and then defended the city.

It is certain that the combat power of the Beihai Kingdom's army surpasses that of the Eight Kingdoms Allied Forces, but if the opponent sticks to the fortified city, then the difference in combat power will be further reduced. Because the enemy can rely on the city wall to reduce this difference.

Therefore, what Marin has to do now is to try to keep his opponents as much as possible, and don't let them run away in fright and defend the strong city...

...

Sure enough, when the news that Marin came back alive reached the camp of the Allied Forces of the Eight Kingdoms outside Oldenburg, the expressions of several weak princes changed. Even the two Dukes of Henry, and the mastermind, Charles, Earl of Geldon, were grimacing.

But the news that came next made Charles, Earl of Geldon happy:

"Haha, it seems that Marin is not confident anymore!"

"Not confident?" Several weak princes looked over, full of questions.

Charles, Earl of Geldon explained:

"Even if Marin can fight very well, the difference in strength cannot be closed. You see, now there is only one First Army Corps in Beihai Kingdom. But the First Army has only 10,000 people, and we send 20,000 people. , can definitely hold them back. Even if you can't win, you won't lose."

"As for the newly formed Second Corps, it is purely a group of recruits, not better than ours. Maybe they can train them with time. But now, those recruits are definitely not good. Therefore, Marin is not confident anymore. He needs to win over The original Second Army and Third Army come back and help him fight. Otherwise, he will not have the confidence to defeat us..."

After listening to Earl Charlie's explanation, the expressions of the two Duke Henrys suddenly improved a lot. Even a few other weak princes, the worry in their hearts has also been reduced a lot. But how did they know that Marin deliberately made them think so...

"I still can't lower my vigilance. I'm afraid that Marin has some conspiracies!" Henry, Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg, said cautiously.

Charles, Earl of Geldon, said to himself:

"Marin's intrigues are nothing more than night raids and ambush.

As long as we strengthen our security at night and take countermeasures to be attacked at night. At the same time, if you don’t chase casually, there will be basically no major incidents. "

After a pause, Charlie continued:

"I heard that the North Sea country's army specially arranges Alsatian wolf dogs (German shepherds) to work at night. The hearing of dogs is far better than that of human beings. If the enemy attacks at night, it is easy to be found. For this reason, our Gelden army , I specially went to Alsace to introduce a group of wolf dogs and trained them to become night watch dogs. With the help of these night watch dogs, if the enemy wants to sneak attack on us, then every door!”

When the other seven princes heard this, they glanced at Charlie in astonishment. But it is not surprising to think that this guy's ability is indeed very strong. You know, Charlie used to be a duke, a big guy who could make the Duchy of Saxony go to hell. If it wasn't for the North Sea Kingdom sending troops to help the Duchy of Clifford, Count Charles would still be a powerful duke.

And several princes recalled, it seems that many of the victories of the Beihai army were achieved by night raids and ambush. As for the frontal combat power, although there have been stories of defeating 60,000 Bosa coalition forces with 40,000 people, the difference in strength is not that big.

But now, Beihai Kingdom has only one fighting army left. In the face of more than 40,000 enemy troops, he is indeed incompetent. No wonder he wants to recall the two previous "rebellious" legions...

"He must never be allowed to successfully recall those two legions!" Henry, Duke of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel said seriously.

"Then how do we stop him from recalling those two legions?" asked Simon V, Earl of Lipper.

Earl Geldon thought for a while and said:

"Let's bribe it! Even if it costs a lot, it's worth it if we can prevent the return of the two veteran legions!"

"Bribery...does it cost a lot of money?" Antonious, Earl of Ravensburg and Earl of Schaumburg, said reluctantly. Several other people are also unhappy, after all, everyone is happy with the money. But if you want to take money out, you will be in a bad mood...

Charles, Earl of Geldon can also understand their thoughts, so he laughed:

"Everyone, have you forgotten the 2 million gold coins in Oldenburg City? As long as you take Oldenburg City, 2 million is not enough for a bribe? Even if you take out half of it, it is completely enough for a bribe!"

But the petty Count John I of Rietberg said:

"One million...isn't it a bit too much..." You must know that his younger brother, Bishop Conrad, bought territories from these princes, but it only cost 400,000 gold coins, which is already a lot of money.

"Much? Lord John, you must understand that if Marin successfully recalls those two legions and defeats us, we may even lose our homeland. At that time, we will have nothing! So, spending more money at this time is also It's worth it. If those two legions don't return to Marin's command, it will be very difficult for us to fail. Compared with our future and destiny, what is some money?" Count Charles said with some anger.

Several princes were silent, and they also knew that what Count Charles said was very reasonable...

Henry Duke of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel thought for a moment and said:

"Okay, that's it! We'll send people to bribe those two army commanders, and as long as they promise not to go out and help Marin, we'll give them 500,000 gold coins each!"

"But first, we're going to take the city of Oldenburg. Otherwise, where are we going to get that 1 million gold coins? So, everyone, go all out! In two days, we must take the city of Oldenburg!"

When the eight princes heard this, they all stood up solemnly, expressing their willingness to work hard. Obviously, the situation is critical right now, and if they don't work hard, they may lose everything. So, they had to gamble, let go and work hard, and take Oldenburg first...
