Part 4/8:
As they set off from the village of Duved, the Swedish army faced everything from rough terrain to poor weather conditions. Heavy rains had washed out many local roads, creating challenges for an army unprepared for the harsh conditions. Despite some initial victories, such as capturing the small fort of Sten without a fight, the journey became increasingly perilous.
Food supplies dwindled as the army continued their slow march towards Trondheim. With no reinforcements arriving and the approaching winter, the soldiers turned to the locals for sustenance, leading to conflicts and resentment in the communities they once hoped would support them.
