What is Marin's battle for fame? Of course, in the middle of the night after the battle of Fornovo, he ambushed French King Charles VIII and captured the splendid battle of thousands of French knights. In that ambush, Charles VIII was almost captured, and the eight thousand French knights also lost more than half. The French planted a big head, but achieved the famous name of Marin at that time, and made Marin the Baron of the First World War and became the Baron of the Empire.
The reason why Frenzberg went to Marin was to go there. The reason for this was the ambush in which Frenzberg admired Marin too much.
Later, before Frensberg switched to the emperor, Marin also cultivated Frenzberg for a period of time, and taught him a lot of art. Speaking of sneak attacks and ambushes, Marin is definitely an ancestor in Europe. And Frensberg has learned a lot, and can be considered dad.
Through the analysis of the current situation, Frenzberg found that the Swiss Resistance Army, which was dominated by the elite of France, did not make persistent efforts to continue the offensive after repelling the army of Frenzberg, but stopped. What are you waiting for ...
Before, Franzberg didn't understand. But now, he fully understands that the French are waiting for the coalition of princes to start ...
If the two armies merge, the total number of enemy forces will exceed 80,000. In the face of so many enemies, if the Habsburg family army continues to stay in Lucerne, it will definitely be eaten without scum.
Even, the coalition forces can choose to fight around, wait for the arrival of the Austrian reinforcements, and then clean up together ...
Therefore, if you follow the order, the army of Frensberg must have a dangerous future.
...
However, Frenzberg saw one thing from this dangerous situation, that is, the French will not really attack him. Because the French did not want too many casualties in the army.
The coalition of princes and the Swiss Resistance, dominated by the French, although collused for the same purpose. However, they also harbor ghosts. They hope that the Habsburgs will be unlucky, but they will not want to suffer too much. Therefore, the budget-minded Frenchman will definitely not try to attack Lucerne before the princely coalition forces arrive, but will wait for the princely coalition forces to launch a general attack together.
And this just gave Frensberg an operational time. The French will not really do it until the princes ’coalition arrives ...
In addition, Frenzberg also figured out one thing why the North Sea country sent 1,000 matchlocks to Basel ...
Obviously, the Beihai nation has long been informed that the coalition of princes might go south to Switzerland. The 1,000 matchlock guns were clearly used by the Basel defenders to resist the siege of the coalition princes. The intention is to give time to the main retreat of the main force of Frensberg ...
Because, Frenzberg remembers that Marin once said that the musketeer was easily slaughtered by the opposing cavalry on the frontal battlefield, and also easily hit by the opposing artillery and muskets. Without a strong cover, the Musketeer is generally effective on the frontal battlefield. Therefore, the Beihai team likes to dig trenches, and likes to use Yu Dayou's chariot with a spear in front of the musketeer ...
However, once the matchlock gun is used to defend the city, its power increases greatly ...
Because, the battlements on the wall, the natural stone guarding the walls of the musketeers. A musketeer with a cover is completely different from a musketeer exposed on the frontal battlefield.
As long as the musketeers exposed on the frontal battlefield respond appropriately, or dare to desperately, they can cause a lot of damage to the musketeers.
The musketeer hiding behind the battlements, that's a big deal ...
You want to raise your head to attack the musketeer on the city wall, blocked by the battlement ... The musketeer on the city wall wants to hit you to extend the rifle and fire a shot, then you can safely hide behind the battlement and load ammunition ...
The same is a musketeer, one without cover and one with battlement cover, the survival rate is very different. A musketeer with a wall cover can shoot his opponent out, but the opponent has no way, even if it is desperately useless ... Even if you are desperate, you have to climb the wall ...
But before climbing up the wall, the musketeers on the wall will definitely let you know that the lead bullets are terrible even if you wear plate armor ...
1000 firearms are enough to kill thousands of enemy troops. Even if the coalition of princes has fifty or sixty thousand people, facing 1,000 firearms, it will be extremely painful because the casualties are too great ...
The coalition of princes is not a regular army of the North Sea State. The regular army of the North Sea State, including the army of Frensberg, who studied the North Sea team, has a strict command order system. Even if the leader is killed in battle, some people will fight in time to keep the team from chaos.
And Marin said that the traditional army, once the casualties exceed 10, most will collapse, at least will retreat ...
Therefore, the 1000 matchlocks given to Basel by the North Sea State will certainly bring great casualties to the coalition of princes, and then drag the coalition of princes in Basel for a long time, leaving enough time for Frenzberg's army to retreat ... …
...
But unfortunately, because of the losses of the Swiss Resistance Army during this time, Frenzberg has already transferred those 1,000 matchlocks to Lucerne.
Without Marlin ’s letter, Basel ’s defenders would certainly not be able to block the princely coalition. Then, the coalition of princes could quickly break through Basel, then rushed into the Swiss region, and joined the French army, hitting the army of Frensberg ...
...
However, it is different now. Once Frenzberg knew the intention of the coalition of princes, he had another option. He planned to fight the coalition of princes first ...
However, the coalition forces of the princes are too strong, with more than 60,000 people. Even though most of the coalition forces of the princes have poor combat effectiveness, they can kill the elephant even if there are more ants. If you are heading against the coalition forces of the princes, the 15,000 regular army of Frensberg is simply not enough.
Even if you are lucky, you will lose a lot. Then, just wait for the French to clean up ...
Therefore, Frenzberg needs a tactic that wins weakly with little loss ...
...
Obviously, the tactics of Marin's ambushing of French King Charles VIII were very in line with the needs of Frensberg ...
According to the art of warfare learned from Marin, ambush the enemy, preferably on a mountain path flanked by hillsides. Because the auxiliary soldiers are hiding on the mountain road, they can throw stones down, and they can also use muskets and bows to hit the enemy.
However, Frenzberg remembers that Basel is located in the Rhine Valley, and there are no such valley roads on both sides with hillsides. Because one side of the road is the Rhine.
Therefore, it is unrealistic to ambush the coalition of princes on the road to the north of Basel and Basel.
However, the direction from Basel to Lucerne is steep. Among them, there must be a valley main road suitable for ambush.
As long as the coalition of princes took the main road in the valley, and Frensberg arranged the ambush ahead of time, even if the coalition of princes was in vain, there must be bad luck.
Because ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ the roads in the mountains must be narrow, even if the coalition princes had 60,000 people, they could not start at the same time and could only move forward in a long strip.
As long as the location is chosen, the princely coalition forces will be ambushed suddenly, and it will surely be able to hit hard ...
Once the coalition of princes was hit hard, and the casualties of Frensberg were very limited, then the plan of the coalition of princes and the French to siege Frensberg together would go bankrupt. Even if the coalition of princes was not eliminated, but the defeat of the remnants was not enough to cooperate with the French to eliminate the Habsburg family army ...
...
But first, Franzberg had to choose a place to ambush ...
So, Frenzberg called the adjutant Karl and told:
"Send someone south of Basel and find some hunters who are familiar with the road."
Obviously, Franzberg intends to find a suitable place to ambush through the locals ...
