Chapter 1471: Forage calculation
Soon, the first batch of French farmers were forced to train by Gonzalo de Cordova for a few days, and they were already able to form a decent formation. The main thing is-if the line is not lined up, the Spaniard will be pumped with a whip ...
At the same time, they also put on the gray inferior woolen vest that marked the Spanish army-this is what Gonzalo de Cordova learned from Marin.
In Europe, the monarchs of all countries are very poor, and they have no money to distribute uniforms to all soldiers. Therefore, the current army soldiers are wearing all kinds of clothes, and it looks very uncoordinated.
Gonzalo de Córdoba was envious when he went to Beihai to learn the phalanx tactics from Marin. Because this can greatly improve the uniformity of the military, and it looks very deterrent. Moreover, a woolen vest made of inferior wool has little money. What's more, Spain is a big producer of wool.
So, after returning home, Gonzalo de Cordoba also suggested that the Spanish army distribute uniform vests. At the beginning, the two Spanish kings actually tended to dye their vests in red and yellow (the flags of the kingdoms of Castile and Aragon are both red and yellow, and the Spanish flags of later generations are mainly based on these two colors. ), Use a yellow cross with a red background, or a red cross with a yellow background. This looks very beautiful and expresses Spain's devotion to Catholicism.
However, the Spanish ministers discovered after calculation that the red and yellow dyes of this era are really expensive! The cost of the dye used to dye the vest is enough to buy several pieces of inferior wool vest ...
So, in the end, the Spaniard gave up the plan to dye the vest. But in order to make a difference from the Beihai vest, they specially selected gray wool that was not popular in the market and woven it into a gray vest. Then, using the blood of cattle and sheep, draw a cross on the gray cloth vest. After the animal's blood dries up, it becomes a red and black cross shape. Then simply soak it in lime water to remove the perishable ingredients in the blood and disinfect it. A low-cost gray and red cross vest is made ...
The cost of this vest is very low, and it is easy to manufacture and mass-produce, so it is very popular with the munitions department. Anyway, the Spaniards do n’t eat the blood of animals and let it go.
Therefore, most of the Spanish soldiers now wear a gray-red and black cross waistcoat outside their clothes, which looks very uniform.
In the past few days, Gonzalo de Córdoba asked the officers to train the French farmers, while the local Neapolitan women cut and made this waistcoat from inferior wool cloth and put it on French farmers. They look like Spanish soldiers ...
...
Sure enough, when the offensive was launched on the first day, the French did not know that it was a farmer of their own country.
Louis XII smiled and said to his generals:
"Haha, it seems that this radical method really works!"
But in the afternoon, some French soldiers who were guarding the city felt wrong:
"Why do they use French when they are shot and cry?"
As a result, some French soldiers who were defending the city asked French farmers in French loudly:
"Who are you?"
At the beginning, many French farmers did not dare to speak, because the Spanish officers who trained and tortured them strictly prohibited them from speaking, and they would be beaten. Therefore, these farmers climbed the siege ladder for most of the day, and the French did not realize the problem.
At this moment, after hearing the enquiries from the soldiers of their own country, most people did not dare to answer because of fear. But there were still brave men who shouted in French while rushing forward on the ladder:
"Masters, let me go, the Spaniards forced us to climb the walls with swords. I don't want to die!"
One person took the lead and other French farmers pleaded:
"Yeah, lords, let us go. We spoke, and we will be killed by the Spaniards!"
The French officer who was defending the city was taken aback, and after thinking about it, he resolved:
"I'll put you up, but you have to throw away shields and weapons first! Then come up first for inspection!"
In fact, the so-called "shields and weapons" are just the shape of a shield sawed by the Spaniards with broken doors. Even the "weapons" are all wood swords, smeared with a little gray stuff, far looks like a real sword ... It can be said that the French are more professional this time when French farmers are used as cannon fodder. Unlike the last time, the French forced the local farmers to rush against the city walls, only to break the door, did not process it, and did not give fake wood swords, and there were no red and black cross vests on the gray background. At a glance, they knew that they were local farmers ...
Sooner or later, the diorama will be dismantled. With the brave French farmer speaking, the idea of the French farmer consuming the other's bullets went bankrupt ...
"General, do we still drive those French farmers to attack the walls?" The men asked.
Gonzalo de Cordoba waved his hand carelessly, saying:
"Naturally, arrange people to continue to charge the city!"
"Then arrange Italian mercenaries to pretend to be French farmers and rush up with them?" The men continued to ask. It seems that this is also an important means for the French to win the city of Naples.
However, Gonzalo de Cordoba shook his head and said:
"Don't use this trick, it's useless. After all, it was the French who first" invented ". Using this trick for them is ineffective ..."
Sure enough, the French officers used the method of "throwing away their weapons and accepting inspections" to avoid the possibility of concealing the enemy's spy from the peasants.
The next day, most of the group of French farmers rushing to the top of the city were released by the French defenders. The Italian mercenaries who tried to get involved in it were exposed and arrested or killed ...
...
"Will you continue to let the French farmers rush?" The adjutant asked Gonzalo de Cordoba.
Gonzalo de Cordoba thought about it and ordered:
"Continue to let the Italian mercenaries hold them to the city head!"
"Why? General, after these French farmers were taken into the city by the French, they could easily become helpers of the French army, making it more difficult for us to siege ..." The adjutant did not understand.
Gonzalo de Cordoba smiled and said:
"Francis, take a long-term view! In a short time, those French farmers rushed into the city, indeed can help the French army. However, we kept transporting farmers from the south of France and let them rush to the city, you know what does this mean?"
The adjutant named Francis shook his head and said he didn't understand ...
Gonzalo de Cordoba exhaled and explained:
"The French are prepared enough and the food is limited. In order to save food, the French drove all the Naples out of the city out of the city of Naples. If we keep letting the farmers into the city, then these rushing France The peasants will also consume the food in the city ... it will be difficult to surrender if the French have no food ... "
"If ... if the French army does not give food to those French farmers?" Francis asked ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Gonzalo de Cordoba self-channel:
"Louis XII did not dare. If he did so, the ordinary soldiers of the French army would inevitably have the same feeling of" rabbit dead fox sadness ". By that time, the French army's military heart would be broken ...
Francis suddenly realized:
"It turns out that you are counting the grain of the French army in the city!"
Gonzalo de Cordoba nodded:
"Yes, I'm counting the grains of the defending army in the city. Once the grains are not enough, it's difficult for the enemy to think about chaos ..."
"High ... really high ..."
