The French army was still very powerful, especially the four or five hundred plate-armored infantry, which was a trump card in infantry battles. Unfortunately, they encountered the few English knights in the British army head-on. Because of their weapons problems and their martial arts were slightly inferior, the elite French army was ruined unjustly.
If it were against ordinary English infantry, this army should have killed all directions, but they met the nemesis! After this army was finished, the French army would not have any elite troops.
Originally, the 1,000 contrailers were also quite powerful, especially in the battle to defend the city. Unfortunately, it rained that day, and the 1,000 contrailers were instantly destroyed, which was worse than ordinary infantry. The combat effectiveness was no different from the recruitment made by farmers.
After the British army broke through the South Gate again, they began to attack the French army on both sides of the city. Although the French army resisted desperately, the number of people was really not superior. Moreover, their elite soldiers were destroyed by accident. Therefore, General Moreno could only watch the French army retreat step by step.
In the end, General Moreno was rushed up by several British strong men in the Governor's Mansion and held them down tightly, and was captured in humiliation...
...
"Long live!"
"Long live!"
...
British soldiers cheered loudly at the fortress of Calais to celebrate this rare victory. You should know that since the late stage of the Hundred Years' War, the British army rarely defeated the French army on land. This also led to the British army's psychological weakness in facing the French army. However, the victory of this battle to conquer the fortress of Calais to restore a lot of confidence to the British soldiers.
But General Sabrakin was worried about this, he said:
"What if the French use the same trick to deal with us?"
This siege battle opened his eyes. Whether it was easy to solve the problem of falling off the iron gate of the waterway or opening the gate from the inside, General Sabrakin was a little surprised. Then, he thought with concern - what should the French do to siege Calais with the same trick?
At this time, the intelligence leader of the Beihai Country, Balk said with a smile:
"Actually, this problem is very simple. In our capital of Beihai, Orich, there is a solution!"
"Oh, how to solve these hidden dangers?" Sabrakin said curiously.
Balk replied:
"In Orich City, Grand Duke Marin opened the city gate in order to prevent the inside of the city from opening, he added an iron gate inside the city gate. This iron gate is not too thick and cannot stop the impact of the wood. But Grand Duke said that this gate is actually to block the small troops in the city that are trying to attack the city gate."
"This small group of troops lurking in the city and planning to open the city gate cannot carry tools such as siege for siege. Generally, they only carry swords, so they can stop them without too thick iron gates."
"At that time, the inside iron gate will be locked, and the enemy's assault team will find it difficult to open the iron gate in a short time. Moreover, the defenders near the city gate are not fools. When they destroyed the inside iron gate, they had already come to destroy these people!"
The iron gate on the inner side of the city gate hole created by Malin is actually similar to the old-fashioned school iron gates in later generations. It is not very solid and it will definitely not be able to withstand the siege equipment. However, for a while, it was not a problem to resist the enemy commando in the city and to reach the reinforcements on the city gate tower and nearby barracks.
With such things like the school's large iron gate, it is basically impossible for the enemy to raid the city gate from behind. After all, it is difficult for a single soldier to break the large iron gate without engineering equipment. In this way, there is no need to worry too much about the city gate being broken from the internal test.
Moreover, this kind of large iron gate is relatively light. When opening the city gate in the morning, the guard on duty in the city gate opening can easily push the iron gate open without affecting traffic inside and outside the city.
After hearing this, Sabrakin was extremely happy and immediately ordered to imitate. Then he asked again:
"How should the sewer iron gate defend?"
This time, the British army broke into the city from the sewer...
Balk thought for a while and said:
"It seems... there are two iron gates for Orich's sewer. Moreover, oil lamps are lit in the culvert at night. There is a post nearby and a rain-proof lookout hole."
"Unlike the French, the iron gate of the sewer in Orich City is equipped with oil lamp lighting in the culvert, which is endless all night. Unlike the French, they rely on torches on the city to prevent rain. There is light in the culvert. As long as there are guards in the observation hole to change shifts and monitor at night, plus the double iron gates, you don't have to worry about the enemy's successful attack from the sewer..."
Marin is the ancestor of European sneak attacks, so how could he not beware of others attacking him? Therefore, whether it is the defense of the inner side of the city gate or the defense of the iron gate of the sewer, he has considered that he will not give anyone the chance to attack him.
General Sabrakin was deeply moved after hearing this - it turns out that he is the number one person in Europe. He is not only good at slandering others, but also guards against others slandering themselves...
If Balker knew Sabrakin’s idea, he would probably propose a duel - paralysis. What is our boss called resourcefulness? What is a yin person?
...
Subsequently, Sabrakin began to transform the city defense according to Orich's model, completely drawing on the Orich's model. With these two transformations, we are not afraid of the French using the same trick to seize the Calais Fortress.
Of course, there are other things. For example, driving all the French in Calais City out of Calais Fortress...
Sabragin is not a fool. Most of the French in the city have moved to France in recent years, so they are naturally loyal to the French Kingdom. Keeping them in the city is definitely a safety hazard. Maybe, they will cooperate with the French army inside and outside.
Moreover, while driving away the French, who account for more than half of the total population in the city, the British soldiers can also take the opportunity to confiscate their homes and plunder the wealth of the French. After all, this is a fortress port and a major trade place. The residents of the city still have some assets. Taking advantage of the opportunity to drive them out of the city, they can make a fortune. The French in the city can take away their clothes and bedding. As for the property, don't think about it...
Even the English merchants in the city were blackmailed by General Sabrakin's subordinates. After all, in recent years, these Englishmen have done a lot of things to the French in the city and were fined some money. Of course, the British army was not so cruel to them, they just knocked on them and did not confiscate their homes.
...
After clearing the whole city, General Sabrakin sent an envoy to Paris to inform the French court that the Kingdom of England had regained the management of the Calais Fortress. Moreover, a total of 2,600 people were captured in your country, including General Moreno, including 30 noble officers...
According to His Majesty Edward's instructions - if France is willing to recognize England's permanent sovereignty over Calais, the British side is willing to release all prisoners of war unconditionally...
