Chapter 800: Siege frustrated

Of course, some conventional rules still have to be said. At the same time as sending troops, the Duke of Geddes also sent envoys to Ghent to submit to the handsome king Philip who lived in Ghent for a long time (he is the real master of the Austrian Netherlands and the official heir to the Principality of Burgundy) The war book.

In this book of war, Charles II, Duke of Gedsi, condemned the Habsburg family for taking the freed Swiss prisoners of war halfway, pointing out that it is extremely mean to start with unarmed Swiss prisoners of war. behavior. Charles II, Duke of Geddes, "out of righteous anger", decided to send troops to "save" those "good Swiss" who were innocently arrested ...

After finishing the book of war, the emissaries of the Duchy of Geddes, following the orders of Charles II, observed the response of the handsome king Philip ...

Sure enough, Philip expressed great indignation and accused the Principality of Geddes of being despicable and shameless. At this time, the war book was written, so that he had no time to gather soldiers and horses to fight ...

The messenger pouted, and said with heart-we will call P when you are ready?

Of course, he was just a messenger, but he didn't dare to despise the handsome king Philip in his face. So, with a smirk on his face, he said that he would definitely bring Philip's accusations to Charles II ...

In fact, the handsome king Philip already knew the whole story. After all, this is what happened in the Principality of Brabant under his name. As a party, he must know. After all, Maximilian I had to pass the Netherlands if he wanted to influence the Netherlands. Therefore, Philip had long known that the Geddes Congress attacked Parson Concentration Camp. Because Parson Concentration Camp was originally a bait to lure the Principality of Geddes. Otherwise, it would not be located so close to the border of the Duchy of Geddes.

However, acting must perform a full set. As a qualified "actor", Philip's acting skills are still good. After all, a qualified politician is an excellent actor. Although Philip was still young, he was not a white man. Stimulated by his peer Marin, he also made some progress. Moreover, because Prince Juan of Spain did not die, it also caused the handsome king Philip not to be involved in the battle for the throne of the Kingdom of Castile-Prince Juan (Oh no, it should be His Majesty right now, after all After the death of Isabella I, Prince Juan officially became King of Castile, although he continued to be "instructed" by Ferdinand II.) After all, he did not die, he naturally did not need to participate in his wife "mad woman" Juana In battle with the father of Ferdinand II of Castile kingship ...

Because he did not travel to Spain, he did not die of typhus in Burgos, Spain, as in history. So, now in 1507, Philip is still alive and kicking. Philip was not dead, nor did the so-called "crazy girl" Juana go crazy. Of course, Juana is not the Queen of Castile now, and naturally does not need to separate from Philip (Hualana was a queen in Castile in history, but her husband is picking up girls every day in Ghent in Flanders, almost mad at Juana) , So stayed by Philip all day to prevent the third invader ...

In order not to make the messengers of the Principality of Geddes suspicious, Philip pretended to be furious, and threatened to gather 50,000 troops to hit the land of the Principality of Geddes, capture Geldern, the capital of the Principality of Geddes, and then burn Gedden with a fire Drop ...

The emissary of the Duchy of Geddes laughed with him, but on the other he thought to him-who? Who doesn't know that the Habsburgs now gather heavy soldiers to fight in Switzerland. Want to transfer soldiers from Malay to the Principality of Geddes? Dreaming ... And, even if the entire Habsburg territory is mobilized, there will be no 50,000 troops ... Who does n’t know that the Habsburg family has bad finances? Can't afford to raise 50,000 troops ...

Seeing Philip's "thunderous thunder and violent inwardness", the emissaries of the Duchy of Geddes also reassured. After going back, he told Charles II what he saw in Ghent ...

"Haha, it's no use to be angry with that Philip kid. We can definitely win this Parson camp! As long as we get those Swiss mercenaries, we will no longer be afraid of the Habsburgs!"

At the same time, the 14,000 troops of the Principality of Gedsi also crossed the border, quickly surrounded Parson Concentration Camp, and launched a siege ...

However, what surprised the commander of the Gede Division Army Bonitz was that there were many musketeers among the defenders of the Parson Concentration Camp ...

The attack on the army of the Principality of Gede Division was met with fierce resistance. The soldiers of the Gede Division had just set up the ladder, and they had climbed up to more than half. Seeing the city wall in front of them, suddenly a gun barrel protruded from the head of the city. Then, the Geddes warrior who was unable to retreat on the ladder was just hit by bullets ...

Although the accuracy of the smoothbore gun is very low, the accuracy is still very high at close range. Moreover, the musketeers of the castle were the old musketeers transferred from the 1st and 2nd legions of the North Sea State. They would never commit the problem of firing indiscriminately at long distances. At close range, the smoothbore gun can also achieve a hundred hits. What's more, the soldiers of Geddes crawled on the narrow cloud ladder and could not move around. On the cloud ladder near the city head, the soldiers of the Principality of Geddes had only two options-either they were shot by a musket, or jumped off the ladder, and fell halfway ... No matter which option, the army of the Principality of Geddes was difficult to accept of……

Bonitz, the army commander of the Gede Division, was furious and furious:

"How come there are so many musketeers in this bunch of bastards?"

After thinking about it for a while, Bonitz decided to let his two thousand Musketeers and the enemy Musketeers in the city face each other ...

However, the fact quickly gave him a slap in the face—the Muskete musket equipped by the Musketeer of the Principality of Geddes, although more powerful, had no use. This confrontation between musketeers ended in the victory of 1,000 musketeers in the city ...

Why? The musketeers on the head of the city are covered by tall and strong walls and battlements, which are very safe. They shot at the Geddes musketeers under the city, only need to show their heads and arms, and the target was very small. Moreover, most of them wear iron helmets ...

And what about Geddes Musketeers under the city? They were all exposed within the shooting range of the Beihai State Musketeers, without any obstruction.

The musketeers in the city head and under the city are about 40 to 50 meters away from each other. Although this distance can be aimed, it is not so accurate. But the problem is that the Beihai State Musketeers at the head of the city can aim at the entire body of the Geddes Musketeers under the city, especially the largest chest ... while the Geddes Musketeers at the bottom of the city can only target the city The short part of the head, arms and neck of the Musketeer of Beihai ...

Not only that, the savvy and veteran Beihai country musketeers, when shooting, quickly aimed at the probe with a probe, and immediately retracted after shooting ...

Although the bullets of the Muskete musket used by the musketeers of Geddes weighed 50 grams, they were very powerful, but they could not move the city walls. Even the battlements could not be worn through. As long as the Musketeers of the North Sea shrank their heads, they would have no choice ... in turn, they stood under the wall without any obstruction. The bullets of Chengtou were hit, and it was easy to get one ... Moreover, the Beihai State Musketeers at Chengtou were all veteran marksmen (the poor shooting was eliminated), although the outcrop, quick aiming and shooting time period, But the accuracy is more accurate than that of the Geddes Musketeers who are aiming hard under the wall ...

So, after an hour of shooting, the Geddes Musketeers under the city lost more than 300 people, while the Beihai State Musketeers on the city head only had a bad luck, and everyone else did nothing ...

In desperation ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Facing the sharp musket net of the city, Marshal Bonitz had to admit that he had to withdraw his troops first. Then, Bonitz dispatched heralds and quickly returned to Gelden, reporting to Charles II, Duke of Geddes, and asking for guidance ...

After thinking about it, Charles II ordered-let Bonitz wait for the rain to attack ...

Since Charles II introduced the new musketeer class, he naturally studied the musketeer. He believes that-the musketeers will lose their fighting power on rainy days. Although the 2000 Musketeers of the Principality of Geddes will lose their combat power, they will have limited impact on the army. After all, in addition to 2,000 musketeers, they also have 12,000 infantry. If the defenders above the city lose thousands of musketeers, the losses are too great. Because the defenders in the city seem to have only three or four thousand people, which means that a quarter of the soldiers and horses have been abolished ... So, it is more cost-effective to count the army of the Principality of Geddes ...

Once the musketeers on both sides were dumb, they could only rely on the infantry. The 12,000 infantry of the Gede Division is better than the 3,000 infantry of the defending city, even if the opponent has a wall cover ...

However, Charles II, Duke of Geddes, did not know that the musketeers of the two main legions of the First and Second Legions of the North Sea State no longer used the arson guns that were afraid of rain, but changed to rainy days. A clockwork lighter with less influence ...
