But Frederick waited left and right, and did not wait for the Danish reinforcements, but waited for the Prussian army first.
The news of Parsin's surrender naturally reached Frederick's ears as soon as possible, and although Frederick had already prepared in his heart, he still felt a burst of sadness.
Parsin was less than a hundred and fifty miles from Schwerin, and if the Prussian army had moved quickly, it would have been three days at most, and then the city would have to wait for Danish reinforcements with the troops in the city.
Field Marshal Dessau sent Kraunz's 5th Division and Blucher's 8th Division, one to the north and the other to the east, with only Dessau's 3rd Division leading Scharnhorst slowly pressing towards Schwerin.
Dessau's calculation is very simple, since Schwerin has already been prepared, then Prussia will not touch this slightly hot potato for the time being, as long as the Prussian army can capture the whole territory of Mecklenburg except for Schwerin, then with a Schwerin, how much can the Mecklenburg army do.
And people are afraid, as long as the Prussian army does not appear under the city of Schwerin for a day, then the defenders in the city of Schwerin will be terrified for a day, and when the time comes, coupled with the news that all parts of Mecklenburg are constantly being captured, presumably those defenders of Schwerin must be afraid to sleep.
Of course, the third division of the Prussian army has more than 10,000 people, and the strength is weaker after all, so Dessau has been sending people to urge the Prussian reinforcements of three regiments to arrive as soon as possible, these three regiments are from the 10th Division stationed in the Masovsche area, although three regiments were transferred, but the Prussian Eastern Front still gathered the rest of the 7th, 9th and 10th divisions totaling more than 26,000 people.
During these six years, in addition to reorganizing two divisions in North America, Prussia also readjusted the positions of the Prussian armies.
According to the number of the divisions, the 1st to 3rd Divisions were stationed in the Brandenburg area and Saxony and West Prussia, while the 4th to 5th Divisions were stationed in Bohemia and Silesia, and the 6th to 10th Divisions were stationed in Greater Poland, Masovia, East Prussia, and Western Lithuania.
As for the two divisions in North America, they are the 11th and 12th Divisions of the Prussian Army.
These ten divisions belonged to the regular establishment of the Prussian Army, and there was a strong armed force in Prussia that was the Prussian Royal Guard, although it was named how many people could be in a guard?
Not really.
Because of the tradition of the Prussian king, this royal guard was often charged in the front line, which also led to the fact that the establishment of the royal guard was not much different from that of an ordinary army division, and maybe even a little more.
On August 20, 1788, Prussian troops appeared under the city of Schwerin.
See the arrival of the Prussian army.
The defenders of the city did not know whether to cry or laugh, and in just ten days, bad news came from all over Mecklenburg, from Rostock in the north to Valen in the east.
Bad news everywhere, either the city has fallen or the city has surrendered.
It was this series of bad news that made Frederick seem to be a teenager in a short period of time, and there was no longer the elegant and humble smile on his face, and in these ten days, Frederick once again sent an envoy to Copenhagen to ask for help.
But the Dane told Frederick.
The more than 10,000 people who were originally going to reinforce Mecklenburg have been diverted for other purposes because of the bad situation in Norway, and now they can only help Mecklenburg for a maximum of 5,000 people, and it will take some time for these 5,000 people to arrive.
"Kiavis, do you think we Mecklenburg will be able to survive this?"
"Your Excellency, even the entire city of Schwerin has no faith, but you must have faith, Mecklenburg is a territory that your family has fought hard for generations."
Facing a sad face of Frederick, Kiaves could only do his best to strengthen the confidence of His Royal Highness the Duke "Your Excellency, there are more than 18,000 troops in the city.
If we succeed in mobilizing the forces in the city, it is very possible to hold Schwerin, so please be sure to keep your convictions."
While Frederick was talking to Kiaves, an attendant approached and handed a letter to Frederick.
Frederick's eyelids jumped when he saw the inscription of the letter, because it was written the name of Marshal Dessau, the commander of the Prussian army.
Frederick pursed his lips and unfolded the letter "The Prussians are simply too deceitful!
They, they ......"
"Your Excellency, Duke.
Don't get excited, calm down."
After reading the letter, Frederick suddenly lost his temper, and when he saw this, Kiavis immediately comforted Frederick.
Although he was curious about the contents of the letter, this was not the time to show his curiosity.
"Kiavis.
Look at how arrogant those Prussians were!
” As she spoke, Frederick slapped Dessau's letter in front of Chiavis.
"It's...
This ........"
Kiaves's hand holding the letter began to tremble a little, and as Frederick said, the letter was written rather wildly.
Dessau advised Frederick to surrender as soon as possible, and now the entire Mecklenburg territory has been greatly divided into the hands of Prussia, if Schwerin surrenders at this time, then Frederick, the Duke of Mecklenburg, can still save his family's life and get a territory that is enough for him to spend his old age in peace, but if Frederick refuses to surrender, then let alone the territory, Frederick's family will pay the price of blood because of Frederick's choice, and a small Schwerin will not be able to stop the pace of the Prussian Iron Army's attack.
The threat in the letter is fully revealed, and it is no wonder that Frederick is so angry, the wars that have been carried over from the Middle Ages have an unspoken rule, that is, no matter who wins or loses, the other party's family will have a way to live, unlike the East, which is often wiped out.
But William felt that this was very bad, and he could only add countless opponents to himself if he did not kill them all, and William, who had always hated trouble, hated his opponents very much, which William remembered after several attempted assassination attempts on Napoleon.
On 1 September 1788, Blucher led the 8th Division to capture Ankram, and the eastern territory of Mecklenburg fell to Prussia, and on 3 September later, Kraunz led the 5th Division to capture the northern coastal city of Stralsund in Mecklenburg, so that 90% of Mecklenburg's territory fell into Prussian hands, except for Schwerin, which was still in the hands of Frederick.
On September 5, 1788, two infantry regiments and one cavalry regiment reinforced by Lithuania finally arrived in Schwerin, while Blucher and Kraunz were marching towards Schwerin with the main forces of the Fifth and Eighth Divisions.
On 7 September 1788, Dessau's assault on Schwerin began.
"Hanbock, you are simply a pig, every time you walk, you are a beat slower than a person, you are looking for death!"

Hearing the voice of his platoon commander, Hanbock immediately took a big step forward to fill the position, looking at the meaningful expression of the squad leader next to him, Hanbock was embarrassed for a while, I don't know why, since Hanbock joined the Prussian army, every time he marched, his pace was backward and queued, just for this, he was scolded a lot.
Nineteen years old this year, from the Masovian region, although Masovia belonged to Prussia for a short time, but because the Prussian army was quite high, so many Poles who could not live a sustainable life were very eager to join the Prussian army, and Hanbock was one of them.
Born into a bankrupt freeman family, Hanberk has two younger brothers and a younger sister in addition to Hanberk, and Hanberk's mother is still bedridden all the year round, and the family relies on his father to work for others, Hanberk feels as if he has no other way than to join the army.
Just last year, Hanbock, who had just reached the age standard, became a glorious soldier of the Kingdom of Prussia, although he learned from many people about the cruelty of the army and the treacherous battlefield, but for nothing else, just the generous settlement fee of the Prussian army, Hanbock was willing to sell his life.
The 37th Infantry Regiment of the 10th Division, where Hanbock was located, was drawn out to participate in the attack on Denmark, and when Hanbock was leaving, when Hanbock sent his military pay to his mother, Hanbock's mother, who had been suffering from illness, struggled to get out of bed and hugged Hanbock's neck tightly, and the mother knew that maybe her son might not be able to come back.
She hissed as she didn't let Hanbock go.
Just as Hanbck's eyes were red, his father endured his grief and walked up to his mother and pulled Hanbck's mother back to the bedside, when Hanbck's father choked up and said to Hanbwick's mother: "Since the child has already taken other people's money, he has to work hard for others, and we can only blame us for not having the ability" As he spoke, big tears welled up in his father's eyes, and a man in his forties cried, and Hanbock held back his grief and finally said goodbye to his younger siblings, and then left the house without looking back.
Many of the Hambock regiments were Poles recruited in the Masovsche region, but there was no such thing as Poland anymore, they were now Prussians.
As he got closer, Hanbock could already see the towering walls not far away, and even the Mecklenburg flag hanging above the walls.
"Stop!"
"Stop!"
"Stop!"
...............
One officer after another thought of the orders, and the phalanx of the Prussian army stopped at the orders of the officers.
It didn't take long for Hanbock, who was standing in the forefront, to suddenly hear a rumbling sound, and the ground began to tremble, he knew that it was the artillery behind that fired, and sure enough, one after another shells were soaked in front of the military formation, although the accuracy was not very high, some of the shells did not even touch the edge of the city wall, but after all, the huge base was placed there.
Sparks are flying, debris is flying on the walls, and the war is so naked!
