According to this plan, the princes would gather 50,000 or 60,000 troops this time and first went to the Principality of Lorraine to concentrate. Then, in the name of teaching the Badenberg, they invaded the Badenberg Kingdom, which belonged to the Swabian League camp. Then, they headed south all the way to the junction of the southern part of the Badenberg Kingdom and Switzerland Basel.
It is certain that they defeated the Badenberg. After defeating the Badenberg, the coalition of princes would deliberately drive the remaining power of the Earl of Baden towards Switzerland.
When the Earl of Baden leads the remnants of the army into Switzerland, they will suddenly attack Switzerland under the name of "chasing the Earl of Baden", and catch the Habsburg family off guard...
The Earl of Baden belongs to the emperor's camp, and then the emperor will have to come forward to protect the Earl of Baden. But the Alliance of Princes is waiting for the Emperor to make a statement. Once the emperor chooses to protect the Earl of Baden, it is equivalent to the enemy of the Alliance of Baden. At that time, the Alliance of Baden will take action against the Habsburg family army in Switzerland...
"It is indeed worthy of being the 'Germany Little Zhuge'. This plan is impeccable..." Frederick III was the most wisest among the German princes in this era. Therefore, to describe it as a Chinese, this guy is "Germany Little Zhuge" with many wise plans. If Marin had not had the absolute advantage in military level, he would have been underestimated by Frederick III. In terms of the combination of the whole world, Marin would not be worthy of carrying shoes for Frederick III...
However, the key to the success of this strategy is that it cannot be leaked. But Bond, who was sent by Marin, happened to learn the secret. Then, it would be difficult for this strategy to succeed...
Of course, Marin did not intend to tell Maximilian I completely. Because he also hoped that both sides would fight to the death.
Today, the Habsburg family has a total of more than 30,000 troops. Among them, 15,000 people are in Switzerland, led by Frenzberg, and launched an attack on western Switzerland. The other half of the troops are scattered in Austria and the Netherlands. If the 50,000 or 60,000 60,000 suddenly attacked Switzerland in large numbers, Frenzberg's 15,000 people would definitely not be able to stop it. Especially without defense, even if Frenzberg's army is of higher quality than the 50,000 coalition forces, the huge number of troops will be difficult to overcome. Unless all the 30,000 troops of the Habsburg family have been prepared and waiting for the 50 coalition forces to come.
But in this way, Marin was not happy again, because this might not be able to weaken the Habsburg family.
But if the Habsburg family did not prepare in advance, they might be caught off guard. Frenzberg's 15,000 people, plus lack of defense, may suffer a big loss...
Marin thought about it for a long time and finally made the following arrangements-
He asked someone to pick out 1,000 eliminated slugs from the arsenal (the North Sea musketeers generally changed their gear and fired muskets), and then equipped them with a large amount of ammunition and sent them to Switzerland, secretly teaching Frenzberg.
At the same time, Marin planned to send people to inform Frenzberg to strengthen defense in Basel. Basel is a major city in Switzerland with strong walls. If 1,000 mesh guns are equipped to defend the city, it will definitely cause severe damage to the coalition forces of the princes trying to attack.
Moreover, Marin would not tell Frenzberg with certainty that the coalition of princes was going to attack Switzerland, but instead said it was a guess in an ambiguous tone.
In this way, Frenzberg will definitely strengthen Basel's defense, but will definitely not defend with all his strength. This will not affect the attack on Basel by the coalition forces of the princes. But a thousand combs were placed there, causing huge casualties to the coalition forces of the princes. You must know that in the "Siege of Vienna" in 1529, the Austrian defenders defended the gap in the city of Vienna with 74 combs, and severely damaged the Turkish army. Marin gave 1,000 combs, which was certain that it caused heavy damage to the coalition forces of the princes.
After this battle, even if the princes' coalition forces win, they will be greatly injured. You should know that for a thousand combs, each gun is not just one shot. Just think about it, you can think of the huge casualties of the princes' coalition forces. Moreover, the ball lead bullet has a huge lethality, and it is either dead or disabled after being hit, which is very terrifying. Any soldier who is hit by ball lead bullet will survive by chance, and will not think of joining the war again. Even many soldiers who were shot will have to saw off their arms and legs. Of course, Malin's army has sufficient alcohol and gauze, so they don't need to saw off their arms and legs at any time. But the princes' coalition forces do not have the medical level. It can be imagined that in this battle, many soldiers of the princes' coalition forces will be sawed off their arms and legs...
...
Marin thought he had a plan, but he didn't know that on the second day after Bond finished reading Frederick III's initial plan, Frederick III sent someone to Paris, contacted King Louis XII of France, and invited the French army to act together. In this way, the Swiss Habsburg family army was really doomed this time...
After receiving the letter from Frederick III, Louis XII was overjoyed. You should know that he had invested heavily in the Swiss battlefield, but he was unable to drive away the Habsburg family army, which made him very upset.
However, he did not dare to go to war with Austria easily. Because at this time, the Spanish army had completed the occupation of most parts of Morocco, leaving only the Sultan of the Vatas dynasty Abu Abdullah Burtukali Ibn Mohammed with thousands of remaining cavalry retreated into the Atlas Mountains to fight guerrillas.
In order to stabilize its rule in Morocco, the commander-in-chief of the Spanish army, Gonzalo de Cordoba, retracted the main force of the army back to the northern part of Morocco and carried out phased control. In this way, Spain did not have to continue to leave all 50,000 troops in Morocco. It is said that Gonzalo de Cordoba only left 20,000 troops stationed in northern part of Morocco, and another 30,000 troops have returned to Spain.
In this case, Louis XII was worried that raising the banner to attack the Habsburg family army head-on, which would trigger a joint counterattack between the Habsburg family army and the Spanish army. After all, the two countries were allies and had a marriage.
But it would be different if German princes such as Frederick III invited the French army together. Just like before, the French did not need to show their flag and the Austrian army was on the front.
However, in order to cooperate with the coalition of princes, the French could send thousands of more soldiers to swap into Swiss costumes and participate in this war.
At present, in order to support the Swiss resistance army to block the attack of Frenzberg's Austrian army, the French have secretly sent more than 7,000 elite troops and together with more than 6,000 Swiss resistance army to resist the offensive of Frenzberg's army.
If France sends thousands of troops into the Swiss Resistance Army this time, then the Swiss Resistance Army can completely restrain Frenzberg's army and even gain the upper hand on the front battlefield alone.
At this time, tens of thousands of vassal coalition forces suddenly entered the Swiss area from the north. Under the attack of both sides, Frenzberg's 15,000 troops would be doomed...
