Chapter 260: Intentionally showing weakness

After taking Leeuwarden, the cautious Bonitz did not send troops to Groningen. Because Bonitz understood that although the army of the Duchy of Geddes was relatively strong. However, the Saxon army is not so weak.

If the decisive battle in the wilderness, the army of the Principality of Geddes relies on the Swiss tactics, may win the game. But if the army of the Principality of Geddes took the initiative to surround Groningen, it would be different.

Originally, the combat power of the Saxony army was not very weak. With the cover of the tall and strong Groningen city wall, even if the army had more troops than the Saxon army, the Geddes army could hardly conquer Groningen. Because, under normal circumstances, there are several times the strength of the enemy, they will choose to attack a firm and strong city. What's more, the Geddes army has not doubled the opponent's.

When the strength advantage is not particularly large, it is obviously unreasonable to choose to attack Groningen. Even if it can be attacked, there will be great casualties. Moreover, according to intelligence, although Duke George of Saxony did not replace the iron gate of Leeuwarden, he replaced the iron gate of Groningen.

Why? This is George's defense of the East Frisian army in Marin. As for the defeated West Frisian Resistance, George had long ignored it. Therefore, it happened that George replaced the iron gate in the city of Groningen, but did not replace Leeuwarden.

Bonitz knew that it was difficult for the Geddes army to overcome the Groningen with the iron gate, so he never thought of going to attack Groningen actively, but waiting for George's army to attack Leeuwarden. At that time, you can use the power of the Swiss phalanx to defeat the main force of the Saxony army. As long as the main force of the Saxony army is defeated, when the opponent's army is disintegrated, and the strength of the army is greatly lost, in that case, it is much easier to go to siege Groningen.

But what makes Bonitz depressed is that there has been no news from Groningen. It turned out that the army of Groningen was lacking in number, and lacked the main heavy cavalry of the Saxony army, lacked confidence, and dared not to attack Leeuwarden ...

The Swiss phalanx is already better than field battles, and there is really no good way to siege and attack. Otherwise, the Swiss will not be able to break the two barriers of the emperor of the Graubünden region for so long.

Therefore, the question now is how to attract the Saxon army out of the city and let them fight against themselves ...

Bonitz wrote this question and reported it to Charles II, Duke of Geddes. Charles II knew the truth, but he couldn't attract the Saxons out of the city.

So, with a try mentality, Charles II wrote a letter to Marin, who refused to go in Münster, and asked him to help him find a way. After all, in the opinion of Charles II, Marin's ghost ideas should not be too much. Although he is a traitor, he is political. When it comes to fighting, Marin has more ideas.

Marin was also surprised when he received a letter of appeal from Charles II in Münster. After thinking about it, Marin quickly understood why the Saxon army shrank in the city of Groningen.

Apart from lack of confidence and lack of confidence, the greatest concern of the Saxony army is to worry about the troops of the East Frisian Lambertians attacking Groningen while taking advantage of their opportunities to go abroad.

Therefore, in order to deceive the Saxon army in the city of Groningen, in addition to waiting for the reinforcements of the Principality of Saxony, Marin must ensure that no troops will be sent to attack the city of Groningen. Otherwise, the Saxon army would not dare to leave Groningen easily.

So, Marin wrote to Charles II, wanting to deceive the Saxon army from Groningen, he needs to do the following three things-

First of all, it is necessary to ensure that the reinforcements of the Principality of Saxony are in place in order to restore the confidence of the defenders in the city of Groningen and allow them to dare to go out and fight against the army of Geddes.

Second, it is impossible to let the Saxon army know the true details of Leeuwarden ’s Geddes army. Therefore, the Duke of Geddes should send spies into Groningen to spread rumors, devalue the combat effectiveness of the Geddes army, and understate the number of Geddes troops. Only in this way can the Saxony army of Groningen have more confidence to fight out of town. In fact, this is a weakness, making the Saxons mistakenly believe that they can easily defeat their opponents.

Finally, Marin needs to make a promise to George, Duke of Saxony, that he will never take the opportunity to send troops to attack Groningen, and the talents of Saxony will have the courage to leave Groningen.

After all, George had been captured by Marin and had a deep fear of Marin. Moreover, Marin is also an aristocrat who lacks knighthood, and often engages in night raids and sneak attacks. Groningen was close to East Friesland, and George was worried that Marin would take the opportunity to stab him in the back. Moreover, the fighting power of the East Frisian Lambertian army is so powerful.

...

After receiving a reply from Marin, after a long time of thinking, Charles II found that if Marin did not clearly indicate that he would not participate in the war, the Saxony army seemed to dare not go out of town ...

So he wrote back to Marin, agreeing that Marin and George, Duke of Saxony, reached a peace agreement to encourage George to dare to send troops out of the city and fight the Gede Division.

After receiving the reply, Marin wrote a reply to Charles II. In the letter, Marin suggested that Siwag should lead the 3000-strong West Frisian Resistance Army with weak combat power to the eastern region. . By the way, eat a few more defeats ...

Marin is very clear about the 3000 West Frisian Resistance under Siwag. In terms of combat effectiveness, they can only be considered average. Because, the main force of the West Frisian Resistance Army that intervened in the battle was actually consumed in the previous war. But when it comes to escape, the remaining 3000 West Frisian Resistance generals are all masters. After all, after repeated defeats, they can still live to this day, this group of guys have absolutely first-class escape ability.

Therefore, let this group of guys go to the eastern region of West Friesland to pick up the Saxon garrison, and then let the Saxons see the strength of the "West Frisian Resistance" fighting five slags, which will definitely help increase the confidence of the Saxony army. .

When the Saxons come with confidence, and with the arrival of their reinforcements and Marin's commitment not to participate in the war, the Saxon army will definitely leave Groningen and come to Leeuwarden to find the main force of the "West Frisian Resistance Army" for the decisive battle.

At this time ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ The powerful Gedsi army, and then fight against the main Saxon army in a head-on encounter, defeating the main force of the Saxon army. By then, everything is a foregone conclusion ...

If defeated and lost the main force, George, Duke of Saxony, will have to withdraw from West Friesland and give up the site here ...

Of course, Marin did not tell Charles II that George Duke of Saxony might be incompetent. However, he was the cousin of Frederick III, the Elector of Saxony, and the cousin of Maximilian I, Holy Roman Emperor. Even if it is defeated, some people support his comeback ...

However, in fact, the Duchy of Geddes of Charles II is not without its backing. In the original Geddes War, France was the strongest backer of the Geddes. In the early days of the Geddes War, it was basically the Principality of Geddes who fought against the Principality of Saxony. Had it not been for Charles V, who had both Shinra and Spain in history, to be too powerful, together with the backing France of the Principality of Geddes, the Principality of Geddes might have successfully occupied West Friesland.

Charlie II really accepted Marin's suggestion, and sent out the remnants of the 3000 "West Frisian Resistance Army" who was good at running away from Siwag, and began to go to the eastern region of West Friesland. Sell ​​the flaws, let the Saxons see their "weak chicken" ...
