The Siege of Mostricht

On february sixteenth, de morier personally led an army of about 20 thousand up into dutch territory. He then quickly captured a string of smaller fortresses before getting ready for the big push thay would take him through rotterdam, the hague and then on to the big prize, amsterdam. While du morie made this run up the coast, his eastern flank was supposed to be supported by another french army about ten thousand strong,. But mostricht managed to resist the initial attacks after the french arrived on feb February 20. And no one likes a prolonged siege, especially new recruits who have never done it before in the middle of a dutch winter.
