Chapter 1468: Standoffs and mouth guns

Because both sides are very cautious, the battle situation is very dull and boring. In the early days of the Spanish army landing from the port of Salerno, the French also sent cavalry harassment. As Gonzalo de Cordova, as a famous star, he didn't venture. He patiently sent people to land in small batches first, and even built fortifications on the dock.

For several days, until the Spanish army landing on the dock could completely withstand the threat of the French cavalry, the army began to formally land.

So cautious, so that the French have no chance to start. At the same time, Gonzalo de Cordoba also asked the Aragonese fleet to force all Genoa ships back to Hong Kong and dared not come out.

After the Spanish army fully landed in Salerno, Gonzalo de Cordoba did not rush to the city of Naples, but waited for the supply ship to send enough supplies before starting to march to Naples.

Outside of Naples, Gonzalo de Cordoba did not send troops to attack the city, but began to dig trenches and build low walls outside the range of French artillery and crossbows ...

Trenches and the like are naturally prepared for the French knight's charge. This is a martial art of Marin ’s army in the North Sea. When Gonzalo de Cordoba learned from Marin ’s phalanx with Marin, he also fully absorbed the lack of virtue fortifications that set up wooden spikes at the bottom of the trench . Any cavalry who encounters such a trench will numb his scalp. Because, the horses that have fallen into the trenches have become large skewers-the horse's belly is pierced by a wooden spike ...

The French knights who fell into the trenches, even if the wooden spikes did not pierce their plate armor, could not be better. Not to mention the danger of falling into the trench and easily breaking or being crushed by the horse ’s body. If they dare to stand up in the trench, they may be greeted by warhammers or muskets ... no matter what, they are dead or injured ...

The low wall behind the trench was created by Gonzalo de Cordoba himself. Marin's army of the North Sea State has no low walls behind the trenches. This is because the North Sea Army has to fire artillery against the enemy. Although the low wall can resist the attack of the enemy, it also blocks its own artillery. Therefore, Marin generally does not build low walls behind trenches.

But Gonzalo de Córdoba ’s Spanish army is different. Gonzalo de Córdoba believes that their main opponent, France, is an artillery power. In Spain, infantry artillery is lacking, but the number of musketeers is dominant.

Therefore, when the battle line of Gonzalo de Cordoba encountered the French army, it not only dug trenches to resist the reunion of the French knights, but also built a low wall behind the trenches to block the French artillery ... …

Although the French army has a large number of artillery, it is generally small cannons such as one-pounder, two-pounder and three-pounder. This powerful little gun, the low wall made by Gonzalo de Cordoba, is enough to resist. And the Spanish Musketeer hiding behind the low wall can fight the enemy ...

After the low walls and trenches were repaired, the Spanish army began to build large camps, settled camps, and confronted the French ...

Subsequently, the Spaniards seized the port and repaired some of the docks to obtain the nearest supply point. When the Spanish navy controlled the Mediterranean sea power, the Spanish army would hardly encounter any food crisis.

The French in the city can only stare, not destroy. Because Gonzalo de Cordoba was actually near the pier, he also dug a long trench and built a large section of low wall, so that the French could not attack the pier ...

...

Standing on the city head and watching the Spaniards dig trenches and walls there, Louis XII was very depressed-this opponent is too stable, can you be impulsive?

These days, Louis Twelve Lights saw his opponent digging trenches and walls, and did not come to siege ...

Subsequently, Gonzalo de Cordoba made people build a new camp east of the city of Naples. At the same time, a large section of trenches and low walls were also repaired ... so, there were Spanish camps on the south and west of Naples, the pier and the east. Only in the north, the Spaniards did not build any camps, but just sent cavalry to patrol here from time to time, blocking any vehicles carrying supplies ...

Obviously, Gonzalo de Cordova is well aware of the principle of "surrounding three ques- tions" and did not encircle the city of Naples. Moreover, the Spanish army is no more than the French army. If the city of Naples is besieged, it will not only inspire the determination of the French army to resist in the end, but also will disperse the force and give the French army every chance to break through.

Therefore, Gonzalo de Cordoba only surrounded three sides. Moreover, the west side only controlled part of the terminal, and did not completely besieged. In this way, the camps in the three directions of Spain are close together, and the troops are not dispersed. But north of Naples, Gonzalo de Cordoba also sent Spanish halterback cavalry to patrol. Even Gonzalo de Cordoba sent people to the north to cut the road.

The reason for digging the road was because Gonzalo de Cordoba was afraid that the French would get supplies by land. Although he sent thousands of Spanish halter cavalry, the French had more cavalry. If a large supply convoy arrives, the French can send their cavalry force out of town to respond and **** the supply back to the city. The Spanish cavalry has insufficient strength and may not be able to stop it.

Therefore, Gonzalo de Cordoba simply sent people to dig those roads. In this way, even if the horseman of the French knight is not affected, the carriage cannot go away. As a result, the French troops in the city cannot get supplies ...

...

As a result, the Spanish army seemed to have abandoned the blockade in the north, but external supplies could not be brought in at all. This unblocked direction also gave the French soldiers a "retreat", making it difficult for the French soldiers to desperately ... As for the small-scale movement of people in the north of the city, Gonzalo de Cordoba did not care. His intention was to hint to the French army that "I have a chance to escape", and naturally will not block the north.

You know, the number of French troops in the city is too large. If the other party is devoted to it, the Spaniards really can't guarantee that they can attack. Therefore, it is better to give the other party a chance to abandon the city, let the other party's inner conflicts, and the fighting intention become less determined ...

But one thing is, if the French try to repair the road and obtain the supply line, Gonzalo de Cordoba will inevitably send a large army to attack the French army out of the city ...

...

So, in the following days, it became a boring confrontation between the two sides. The French are clamoring all over the city-Spanish cowards, come and attack the city ...

And the Spanish army was not weak, and the guns returned fire-French softball, come out to fight decisively ...

The armies of the two great powers of Western Europe actually stood in the mouth through the city walls-"You come up!", "You come out!"

But the mouth cannon hits loudly, and neither side is stunned ...
