Chapter 440: Shocking scam
The city of Lübeck was surrounded by water, which caused the electoral countries of Brandenburg and Saxony, which were also dry ducks, to be unable to cross the river to attack the city immediately, and they could not be completely surrounded. Therefore, as long as you send a light boat across the river at night, you can still communicate with Lübeck. After arriving in Lübeck under the light boat in the middle of the night, the signal soldiers would use the gondola to go up and down the city wall, which is also convenient.
When Marin received the joint report of Woolf Esbrand and Saqqara, everyone also appreciated:
"This guy, Woolf, is really a stranger among Europeans. He is good at using tricks!"
In fact, Woolf Esbrand was also helplessly persecuted by reality and only specialized in tricks. Why? The reason is simple. Woolf Esbrand was born in the weak district of Dietmarschen and was the leader of Dietmarshen ’s army against Denmark.
However, the total number of soldiers in the Dietmarshen area combined, there are only more than 1,000 people. Denmark, however, can easily dispatch thousands of troops.
Under such a disparate strength comparison, the weaker side is no longer awake, thinking of a head-to-head confrontation, it is a brain disability.
Suspension wire without strength, and Gao Fushuai just head on, was definitely kicked by the donkey. If the weak want to defeat the strong, there is only one way to go about conspiracy. Even if someone praises Yangmou and depreciates the conspiracy, it is also the intentional guidance and propaganda of those who have strength.
Because, conspiracy is the only way out for hanging silk to defeat Gao Fushuai. If Suixi is not clear-headed, he easily abandons the conspiracy, and instead plays a conspiracy with Gao Fushuai's opponent, he must die horribly. Gao Fu handsomes are also afraid of being yin, so they manipulate public opinion, degrade the conspiracy, and praise Yang mou. In fact, this is to make the hanging wire lose the opportunity to counterattack and maintain the stability of their privileged class.
In fact, throughout the ancient and modern times, all the wise men who win more with less and weaker with strong are all conspiracies. It is only through conspiracy and tricks that generals such as Woolf Esbrand can lead a thousand militia, defeat the tens of thousands of Danish troops, and drown seven thousand Danish soldiers.
It was precisely because the strength gap between the Dietmarschen region and the Kingdom of Denmark was so great that for freedom, Woolf Esbrand was forced to use conspiracy and conspiracy with the Danes, and eventually flooded with water, won That war.
For military strategists, "the combination of singularity and integrity" is invincible. Only strange, too risky. And only positive, it lacks flexibility, and is easily calculated by conspiracy. Therefore, a truly great military strategist generally needs to "combine odd and positive" instead of only Qi and Zheng.
Woolf Esbrand is one of the few skillful generals in Europe in this era, coupled with European traditional "positive" education. Therefore, his ability should exceed most of the generals of this era. Of course, he wants to win the battle, the premise is that he must have strong strength. Otherwise, if you only win by surprise, if you encounter a cautious enemy, as long as you block his strangeness, it will be unlucky.
Therefore, while Marin is good at using conspiracies and tricks, he also attaches great importance to the training and improvement of his army's combat effectiveness. If we only rely on the odd, it will not last long. Only when Qizheng takes into account at the same time can he truly become a prince of overlord.
Of course, in this era, Europeans are not popular with conspiracies and tricks. Therefore, most of them are too straightforward. If you encounter a cunning opponent, it is easy to suffer a big loss. Therefore, in this era, it is quite effective to use tricks in Europe.
However, Woolf Esbrand is a conspirator of half a bucket of water after all, and he is not capable enough. The one who is really good at conspiracy and deception is Marin who has experienced the "information explosion" in later generations. After all, there are too many tactical examples of Marlin's posterity and online reading.
For example, in the reports submitted by Woolf Esbrand and Saqqara, Marin saw many improvements ...
Take the case of sending eight thousand people to make up for the main force to go south. Originally, Marin's request was that Woolf Esbrand made the illusion of eight thousand main forces going south. Woolf Esbrand also did it, but made a very fatal mistake-he did not send the people to accompany him, only sent "eight thousand main forces" to go south.
This is very unreasonable. This is because, now that all countries are using large armies, they will certainly send a large number of civilians at the same time to be responsible for transporting military food and armies. Otherwise, if the combat troops are also responsible for pulling military supplies and carrying weight, if they encounter an emergency combat situation, they have no energy and physical strength to face the battle, and they have no time to change. After all, transporting military food and load is very laborious.
Fortunately, the Danish army commander, Prince Christian, is young and inexperienced. If an old fox like Frederick III heard that only 8,000 people would go south, he would doubt the true and false-there is no army with the men ...
Therefore, Marin wrote to the Hamburg parliament, asking them to borrow a boat and impose a curfew. On the other hand, he also wrote back to Woolf Esbrand and Saqqara, asking them to recruit another seven or eight thousand people to be disguised as civilians. Follow the eight thousand people who went south. At first, this seems more reasonable. Secondly, more people, more deterrent ...
However, in order to cover the movement of the real army, these eight thousand fake main forces cannot march too fast. Otherwise, if the coalition forces of Bossa were brought in to attack too early, everything would be exposed. The cunning of Frederick III will surely guard against a real raid.
Therefore, Marin decided to perfect the strategies of Woolf Esbrand and Saqqara, creating a terrifying scam, so that old foxes like Frederick III also believed that the fake reinforcements were the real main force ...
After thinking, Marin believed that a main force composed of 8,000 main forces would march quickly. Therefore, if you want to cheat the Bossa Allied Forces, you must convince the Brandenburg Elector Joachim I and the Saxony Elector Frederick III that there are too many recruits in the support army, so you can't go fast ...
New recruits have poor discipline and require long training. With the recruits marching, the large army walked slowly and reasonably, without causing Frederick III's suspicion. Therefore, Marin needs to convince Frederick III that there are many recruits in this support army, which drags down the speed of the march ...
To this end, Marin came up with a way to deliberately disclose false intelligence ...
How it was leaked deliberately is very simple. Marin will ask Woolf Esbrand to send a messenger deliberately to carry the "secret letter" to the city of Lübeck semi-openly to attract the enemy to intercept and kill.
If the messenger orders, it is believed that the scouts of Elector Frederick III of Saxony will certainly not give up interception. At this time, the single messenger was needed, and he deliberately escaped, and then "accidentally" lost the secret letter, and then let the Saxon scouts pick up ...
In this "secret letter", Woolf Esbrand will report to Marin-the northern border of the Principality of Schleswig, he is leading 5,000 main veterans and tens of thousands of people, fighting to fight against the city The attack of the Danish army. Therefore, only half of the main force can be sent, that is, five thousand veterans, and five thousand new recruits to go south together ...
In this way, it would make sense for the reinforcements to go slowly. After all, half of the novices ...
As for how eight thousand people pretend to be a 10,000 army, this is too easy-the team can be separated a little ...
If this "secret letter" falls into the hands of the enemy, they will understand-half of the 10,000 troops rescued southwards are "parallel imports" ... in fact, these people are all parallel imports, and there are no 10,000 people……
Will the news of the defeat of Denmark be known by the Bossa Coalition? Don't worry about this. Because the Jutland Peninsula and the German region are separated by the sea and the Principality of Schleswig. Today, the Principality of Schleswig is in full martial law, and outsiders simply cannot pass it. The Danes are now unable to pass the sea and send the information to the land. After all, the fleets of Lübeck and Hamburg are definitely not allowed. Therefore, for a long time, it was not easy for the Bossa coalition to know the situation in Denmark. The fake secret letter said that half of the veterans of the Principality of Schleswig and tens of thousands of people were relying on the city to resist the Danish army, which was very reasonable and easy to believe. If the 10,000-strong army of the Principality of Schleswig wiped out the 20,000-strong army of Denmark in a short time, no other person would believe it ...
Of course, "Half of the recruits in the team", this excuse is not enough to allow the fake main army to go very slowly. So, Marin came up with other tricks to cheat-pretend to have delivered a lot of artillery and weight ...
It is very difficult to transport the artillery and the heavy road. Therefore, it is very reasonable to influence the speed of the army to hurry.
To this end, Marin ordered Woolf Esbrand through a letter to let him call a large number of carpenters in the Principality of Schleswig, cut some logs into the shape of artillery, and paint them on the outside. The "muzzle" is also sealed (moisture-proof), making the appearance look like a real artillery. Then, let the carpenters build the East Frisian style gun mount and assemble it.
At the same time ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ also cut out some wooden **** of the same size as iron ball shells, painted with black paint, much like the iron ball shells, placed on a cart, let the civilians "difficult" transport With ...
So many "artillery" and "iron ball shells" need to be transported, which certainly affects the speed of the march. In addition, the oak barrels filled with gunpowder and the sacks filled with so much food for the civilians, the heavy troops must be vast. It affects the speed of the army, and it is reasonable and reasonable. Even the resourceful Frederick III could hardly see the flaw. After all, there are half of the recruits, and there are piles of artillery, iron ball shells, gunpowder barrels and grains that need to be transported. Is it strange that the army is marching slowly? It ’s not strange to be slow ...
Moreover, with so many "artillery" and "ammunition", people have to believe that it is the main force. Because, this year, the artillery is made of copper, which is very precious. There are so many artillery pieces, if you are not the main force, tell others not to believe ...
When Marin's "guidance" was sent to Woolf Esbrand, Woolf Esbrand, a man who was good at planning, looked at it and took a breath. As long as no one inside leaks, anyone can succeed in deceiving ... after all, who wants to come up with the unethical idea of disguising logs as artillery and wooden **** as shells ... Such sinister goods as Marin can only come up with such sinister tricks ...
