Chapter 462: Let's go first

On the evening of May 16, it was dark, and the 18,000 troops hidden in several small villages on the Elbe River had not yet been dispatched. The 200 reconnaissance cavalry and the other 300 light cavalry sent by Sauer to the 200 interception messengers, I have already set off early and started to clean up any people riding horses along the road.

This time, the 18,000 reinforcements were going to sneak attack on the Bassa ’s coalition battalion. Therefore, the news must not leak. Therefore, the task of Sauer ’s lieutenant general Luff is to take the 500 light cavalry, block the eastward road, and intercept any person riding on the eastward, whether it is an enemy messenger or an innocent rusher ...

This is because, once the news of the sneak attack was known by the main force of the Bossa coalition forces earlier, the 18,000 people might face a well-prepared 50,000 elite enemy forces. Not to mention sneak attacks, whether or not you can escape alive will be a problem. Therefore, the key to this sneak attack is that confidentiality must be in place.

After all, according to Marin, Elector Frederick III of Saxony was a wise man who attached great importance to intelligence work. Earlier, Sauer ’s scouts discovered through the telescope a lot of Bossa coalitions active in various regions.

Moreover, to Marin's surprise, most of these scouts were wearing Saxon army costumes. In other words, only the Saxony army pays more attention to intelligence exploration. As for the man of Joakim I, I do n’t think I care much about intelligence.

If the opponent is just a simple-minded opponent like Joachim I, Marin is estimated to be less troublesome, just let Woolf Esbrand and Saqqara take the army to attack at night. It looks like now, in order to cover the real reinforcements, actually got two fake reinforcements, in order to divert the other's attention ...

Facts have proved that Marin succeeded in bringing out two fake reinforcements to divert the other's attention.

After completely defeating and capturing all 10,000 fake reinforcements from Hamburg for half a day, the Bossa Allied Forces basically withdrew the scouts from the western camp. Because after confirming that the reinforcements in the west were really fake reinforcements, even Frederick III did not think it necessary to continue sending a large number of scouts in the west.

Now, the Bossa Allied Scouts are all placed to the east, monitoring the movement of Marin's troops on the position. Especially, beware of Marin's night raids ...

After all, Marin made his fortune by night attack. At the beginning, the ambush of Charles VIII in the middle of the night was the battle of Marin's fame. Today, Marin's gangster on the road is still a "despicable night raider" ...

After withdrawing the western scouts, Frederick III simply let his hundreds of scouts be divided into three squads, and the three squads were in charge of monitoring the movement of Marin's big camp at night to guard against the night attack of the troops under Marin.

In this regard, Marin is very helpless. When meeting such a cautious and cunning opponent, he just wanted to attack at night, and it was difficult to succeed. Now, when Marin contacts with the reinforcements in the west, he must send scouts under his arm to take a big circle from the north before going to the west.

Fortunately, because the so-called "reinforcement" on the north side was also eliminated by the Bossa coalition forces, the Saxon scouts on the north side were also withdrawn. Otherwise, Marin would like to send a message, it is also very difficult.

During the day, for the safety of Jim the ace spy. Malinte sent another spy, pretending to be a labor force, brought a lot of vegetables and meat into the Bosa coalition camp, and gave Jim a gesture-tonight to fight, ready to escape ...

Otherwise, when the western reinforcements attack, Frederick III, who is ill-intentioned, may be able to cut Jim out and vent his anger. After all, it was an ace spy, and Marin was not like letting him die.

In order to keep the actions of the reinforcements secret, Malin also transferred 500 cavalry from the headquarters after the sky became dark, letting them take off their armor, throwing away their spears, and carrying only sabers or cavalry swords. Intercept any Saxon scouts.

These lancers were all from the wandering knights who had wandered to the Teutonic Kingdom. Not only is he good at using lances, but also proficient in using sabers and cavalry rapiers. He can be a heavy cavalry and he can also be a light cavalry. The immediate combat capability is much stronger than those of the scouts. After all, people practice fighting right from childhood. On the immediate combat power, it exceeds the scout cavalry by a large margin. It is appropriate for them to be responsible for helping to kill scouts ...

From villages along the Elbe River to the west of the Bassa Joint Army Camp, it is less than 30 kilometers. The general army can only travel 40 kilometers a day. Even at night, even if there is moonlight, it is good to walk 20 kilometers.

In other words, the army under Marin is strictly trained and does special training overnight. Therefore, Marin estimated that the army of Woolf Esbrand and Saqqara could arrive at the west side of the Bossa Allied Forces Camp at about 4am.

At that time, Marin ’s army will also take the opportunity to launch an offensive, echoing the reinforcements that launched the raid on the west side, and strive to defeat the Bossa Allied Forces in one fell swoop and lay the victory.

However, during the day when the Bossa coalition forces captured the fake reinforcements sent by 10,000 Hamburg, an unexpected situation occurred-the scouts sent by Marin found that the Bossa coalition forces actually took the 10,000 captives during the day. The burgers were all placed outside the west gate of the Bossa Allied ...

Because there are a full 10,000 people, the Bossa Allied Forces also built a simple barracks to accommodate tens of thousands of people outside the Ximen of the original large camp to settle the 10,000 prisoners of war.

At this moment, Malin could not sit still ...

Why? This strong camp of 10,000 Hamburgers blocked the route of the reinforcements night attack ...

If you want to raid the Bossa coalition's large camp from the west, you must pass through the Hamburg camp. However, it was ten thousand people ... It was difficult to get through without wanting to disturb the Bossa Allied Forces Camp ...

If you enter the Bossa Allied Forces Camp through the camp where the fools are located, the speed is slower, it may be that the Bossa Allied Forces have enough time to organize the interception. At that time, the night raid may fail ...

If this night attack fails, then there is no chance to change the situation for the second time. After all, Frederick III is not an ordinary person and will never make the same mistake again ...

Therefore, Marin must make a timely response to avoid the failure of this raid ...

Marin walked back and forth on the command ship. After thinking for a long time, he approached Schwartz and ordered:

"Schwartz, order now, let the soldiers in front begin to fill the trench with wooden boards. This time, we have to attack first, launch a night raid, and attract the attention of the Bossa Allied Forces!"

"What do you mean-let's go first?" Schwartz asked hesitantly ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Yes, let's go first! "

"However, with so many enemy scouts, our actions will definitely be discovered!"

"Just let the enemy discover our actions and let them turn their attention to the east. By then, they have no energy to pay attention to the situation on the west side of the camp, and they have created opportunities for Woolf and Saqqara!"

"Okay, then, when are we going to start?" Schwartz asked with a sigh. He knew that the casualties must be indispensable. Because, even if the attack is launched at night, because the other party has defense, it is equivalent to just heading ... and generally just heading, the biggest casualty ...

Malin thought about it and said:

"Just after the troops of Woolf and Saqqara arrived, we started first, and then waited for the attention of the enemy to be attracted by us, and then they attacked again!"

"Okay, how did the two tell us that their army arrived?"

"Then put a firecracker ... er, no, the sound of the firecracker will disturb the enemy. Let them put a few Kongming lamps to heaven. Then, our scouts will see the light through the telescope. However, there must be a rope After receiving the signal, you can put the Kongming lamp into the sky. On the other side, take the rope out of the Kongming lamp to avoid attracting the attention of the enemy! "

"Also, after half an hour of our attack, they are attacking!" Marin thought for a while and added.

"Okay, I will send scouts to send them letters!"

"Well, be prepared. Before dawn, we are going to work hard!" After that, Marin went to the captain's room of the command ship to take a nap for a while. After all, the actual opening time will have to wait a few hours ...
