What was Marin's battle to become famous? Of course, it was a brilliant battle to ambush King Charles VIII in the middle of the night after the Battle of Fornovo and capture thousands of French knights. In that ambush, Charles VIII was almost captured, and more than half of the eight thousand French knights were lost. The French fell a big flaw, but they made Marin famous at that time, and became the baron of the empire.
The reason why Frenzberg went to Marin to visit him was because he was famous for his visit. The reason was that Frenzberg admired the ambush that Marin fought too much.
Later, before Frenzberg turned to the emperor, Marin also trained Frenzberg for a period of time and taught him many military tactics. Regarding sneak attacks and ambushing, Marin was definitely an ancestral boss in Europe. Frenzberg learned a lot and could be considered a father-level person.
Through the analysis of the current situation, Frenzberg discovered that the Swiss Resistance Army, mainly French elite, did not continue to attack after repelling Frenzberg's army, but stopped, as if waiting for something...
Before, Frenzberg didn't understand. But now, he fully understood - the French were waiting for the coalition forces of the princes to take action together...
If the two armies merge, the total number of enemy troops will exceed 80,000. Faced with so many enemies, if the Habsburg family army continues to stay in Lucerne, they will definitely be eaten without even the scum left.
Even the coalition forces can choose to surround the site to attack the aid, wait for the arrival of Austrian reinforcements, and then clean up together...
Therefore, if we follow the steps, Frenzberg's army will definitely have a dangerous future.
...
However, Frenzberg saw one thing clearly from this dangerous crisis-that is, the French would not really attack him at the moment. Because the French did not want the army to suffer too much casualties.
Although the French-led coalition forces and the Swiss Resistance Army, mainly French, colluded with each other because of the same purpose. However, they also had their own ulterior motives. They hoped that the Habsburg family would be in trouble, but they would not want to suffer too much. Therefore, the carefully calculated Frenchmen would definitely not make any effort to attack Lucerne before the arrival of the French-led coalition forces, but would launch a general attack together after the arrival of the French-led coalition forces.
And this leaves Frenzberg with practical time - the French would not really take action before the arrival of the coalition forces of the princes...
In addition, Frenzberg also figured out one thing - why the Beihai Kingdom sent 1,000 convex guns to Basel before...
Obviously, the Beihai Kingdom had long received information that the coalition of princes might go south to Switzerland. The 1,000 mesh guns were clearly used by the Basel defenders to resist the siege of the coalition of princes. The purpose was to buy time for the main force of the Frenzberg army to retreat...
Because Frenzberg remembered that Marin said that musketeers are easily massacred by the opponent's cavalry on the front battlefield, and are also easily attacked by the opponent's artillery and musketeers. Without strong cover, musketeers are average on the front battlefield. Therefore, the Beihai Army likes to dig trenches and likes to use Yu Dayou's chariot with spearheads to surround the musketeers...
However, once the mezzanine is used to defend the city, its power will greatly increase...
Because the battlements on the city walls and the cover of the musketeers guarding the walls of natural stones. The musketeers with cover are completely different from those exposed on the front battlefield.
For musketeers exposed to the front battlefield, as long as the opponent responds properly or dares to fight to the desperate situation, they can cause a large amount of damage to the musketeers.
But the musketeer hiding behind the battlements is amazing...
You want to raise your head to attack the musketeers on the city wall, but they are blocked by the battlements... The musketeers on the city wall want to hit you - reach out to fire a gun, and then you can safely hide behind the battlements and load ammunition...
The same musketeers, one without cover and the other with battlements, the survival rate is very different. Musketeers with city walls can beat their opponents out of the sky, but the opponent has no choice. Even if they fight to the sky, it is useless... Even if they fight to the sky, you have to climb up the city wall...
But before climbing up the city wall, the musketeers on the city wall will definitely let you know the terribleness of lead bullets - even if you wear plate armor, it won't work...
1,000 muskets are enough to kill thousands of enemy troops. Even if the coalition forces of the princes have 50,000 or 60,000, facing 1,000 muskets, they will be extremely painful - because the casualties are too great...
The coalition of princes is not the regular army of the Beihai Kingdom. The regular army of the Beihai Kingdom, including the Frenzberg army who studied the Beihai Kingdom's army, has a strict command and order system. Even if the main general dies in battle, someone will take over in time and keep the team unchaos.
Marin once said that if the traditional army suffers more than 10%, most of them will collapse, and at least retreat...
Therefore, the 1,000 melee guns that the North Sea Kingdom gave Basel can definitely bring great casualties to the coalition forces of the princes, and then dragged the coalition forces of the princes in Basel for a long time, leaving enough time for Frenzberg's army to retreat...
...
But unfortunately, Frenzberg has transferred all the 1,000 mesh guns to Lucerne because of the losses caused by the Swiss Resistance Army during this period.
Without this letter from Marin, Basel's defenders would definitely not be able to stop the coalition of princes. Then, the coalition of princes would soon be able to break through Basel, then rush into the Swiss area, join forces with the French army, and severely damage Frenzberg's army...
...
But now it's different. After Frenzberg knew the intention of the coalition forces of the princes, he had another choice - he planned to attack the coalition forces of the princes first...
However, the coalition of the princes is too powerful, with more than 60,000 people. Even if most of the coalition of the princes is poor in combat, there are too many ants to kill the elephant. If Frenzberg's 15,000 regular troops are not enough to see.
Even if you win by chance, you will suffer heavy losses. Then, wait for the French to deal with it...
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! Therefore, Frenzberg needs a tactic of defeating the strong with weak and losing very little...
...
Obviously, Marin's tactics of ambushing King Charles VIII were very in line with Frenzberg's needs...
According to the military tactics learned from Marin, it is best to ambush the enemy on a mountain road with hillsides on both sides. Because the auxiliary soldiers hid on the mountain road, they can throw stones down, or use muskets and bows to attack the enemy. How to do it?
However, Frenzberg remembers that Basel is located in the Rhine Valley, and there is no such important valley road on both sides of the road. Because, on one side of the road is the Rhine River.
Therefore, it is unrealistic to ambush the coalition of princes on the roads north of Basel and Basel.
However, there are mountains and steep mountains from Basel to Lucerne. Among them, there must be a major valley road suitable for ambushing.
As long as the coalition of princes walks through this important road in the valley and Frenzberg arranges ambush in advance, even if there are many coalition of princes, it will be useless, and it will definitely be a big trouble.
Because the mountain roads must be narrow, even if the coalition of princes has 60,000 people, they cannot start and move forward together, and can only move forward in long strips.
As long as you choose the location and suddenly ambush the coalition forces of the princes, you will definitely be severely injured...
Once the coalition of princes is severely damaged and Frenzberg's casualties are very limited, then the plan of the coalition of princes and the French to join forces to siege Frenzberg will go bankrupt. Even if the coalition of princes is not eliminated, the remnants of the defeated generals are not enough to cooperate with the French army to eliminate the Habsburg family's army...
...
But first, Frenzberg has to choose the ambush site...
So Frenzberg called his adjutant Carl and ordered:
"Send people to the south of Basel and find a few hunters who are familiar with the road."
