The Rise of the European Emperor

What was Marin's battle to fame? Of course, it was the glorious battle of ambushing the French King Charles VIII in the middle of the night after the Battle of Fornovo and capturing 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 made a big mistake, but they achieved the illustrious name of Marin, who was unknown at the time, and made Marin a knight in the first battle and became a baron of the empire.

And the reason why Frenzberg went to see Marin at first was because of his name. The reason was that Frenzberg admired the ambush fought by Marin too much.

Later, before Frenzberg turned to the emperor, Marin also carefully cultivated Frenzberg for a period of time, and taught him a lot of tactics. When it comes to sneak attacks and ambushes, Marin is definitely an ancestral boss in Europe. And Frenzberg has learned a lot, and he can be considered a father.

Through the analysis of the current situation, Frenzberg found that the Swiss resistance army, mainly French elites, did not make persistent efforts after repelling the army of Frenzberg and continued to attack, but stopped, as if in the what are you waiting for...

Before, Franzberg didn't understand it. But now, he fully understands that the French are waiting for the allied forces of the princes to join forces...

If the two armies merged, the total number of enemy troops would exceed 80,000. In the face of so many enemies, if the Habsburg army continued to stay in Lucerne, they would definitely be eaten to the brim.

Even, the coalition forces can choose to encircle the point to fight for reinforcements, wait for the arrival of the Austrian reinforcements, and then pack up together...

Therefore, if it is done step by step, the future of Frenzberg's army is sure to be dangerous.

...

However, one thing Frenzberg has seen from this dangerous situation is that the French will not really attack him at the moment. Because the French do not want the army to suffer too many casualties.

The Allied Forces of the Princes and the French-dominated Swiss Resistance Army colluded because of the same purpose. However, they also have ghosts in their hearts. They hoped that the Habsburgs were unlucky, but they did not want to suffer too much loss. Therefore, the budget-conscious French will definitely not make every effort to attack Lucerne before the arrival of the allied army of princes, but will launch a general attack after the allied army of princes arrives.

And this just leaves Frenzberg with time to operate. The French will not really do anything until the allied forces of the princes arrive...

In addition, Franzberg also figured out why the North Sea had previously sent 1,000 arquebuses to Basel…

Obviously,

Beihai Kingdom has long received information that the allied forces of the princes may go south to Switzerland. The 1,000 arquebuses were clearly used by the Basel defenders to resist the siege of the allied forces of the princes. Its intention is to buy time for the main force of the Frenzberg army to retreat...

Because, Frenzberg remembered that Marin said that the musketeers were easily slaughtered by the opponent's cavalry on the frontal battlefield, and were also easily hit by the opponent's artillery and muskets. Without strong cover, the Musketeer is mediocre in frontal battles. Therefore, the Beihai Army Corps likes to dig trenches, and like to use Yu Dayou's chariot with a spearhead in front of the musketeers...

However, once the arquebus is used to defend the city, its power will be greatly increased...

For, the battlements on the walls, the cover of the musketeers who guard the walls of natural stone. A musketeer with cover is completely different from a musketeer exposed on the frontal battlefield.

A musketeer who is exposed on the frontal battlefield can cause a lot of damage to the musketeer as long as the opponent responds properly or dares to work hard.

But the musketeers hiding behind the battlements, that would be incredible...

You want to throw your head up and attack the musketeers on the city walls, but you're blocked by the battlements... the musketeers on the walls want to hit you, stretch out their muskets and fire a shot, then you can safely hide behind the battlements to reload...

The same musketeers, one without cover and one with battlement cover, have very different survival rates. A musketeer who has the protection of a city wall can shoot his opponent out, but his opponent has nothing to do, even if he tries hard, it is useless... Even if you have to fight hard, you still 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 that lead bullets are terrible even if you wear plate armor...

1000 muskets, enough to kill thousands of enemy troops. Even if there are 50,000 or 60,000 feudal lords in the coalition, facing 1,000 arquebuses, it will be extremely painful because the casualties are too great...

The allied army of princes is not the regular army of Beihai Kingdom. The regular army of Beihai Kingdom, including the army of Frenzberg who studied the Beihai army, has a strict order of command system. Even if the main general dies in battle, there will be someone on top in time to keep the team from chaos.

And Marin said that once the casualties of traditional troops exceed 10, most of them will collapse, at least they will retreat...

Therefore, the 1,000 arquebuses given to Basel by the North Sea Kingdom will definitely bring great casualties to the combined forces of the princes, and then drag the combined forces of the princes in Basel for a long time, leaving enough time for the army of Frenzberg to retreat... …

...

But unfortunately, because of the loss of the Swiss Resistance Army during this period, Frenzberg has transferred all the 1,000 arquebuses to Lucerne.

Without the letter provided by Marin, the defenders of Basel would certainly not be able to stop the allied forces of the princes. Then, the allied army of princes will soon be able to break through Basel, then rush into the Swiss area, join the French army, and severely damage the army of Frenzberg...

...

However, it's different now. After Frenzberg knew the intention of the allied army of princes, he had another choice. He planned to fight the allied army of princes first...

However, the troops of the Allied Forces of the Princes were too strong, with more than 60,000 people. Even if most of the feudal lords' coalition forces are weak in combat, the elephants can be killed by too many ants. If confronted with the allied forces of the princes, the 15,000 regular army of Frenzberg is simply not enough.

Even if you win by chance, you will lose a lot. Then, just wait to be cleaned up by the French...

So, Frenzberg needs a tactic where the weak wins the strong and the losses are small...

...

Obviously, Marin's tactic of ambushing the French King Charles VIII was very much in line with Frenzberg's needs...

Following the tactics learned from Marin, ambushed the enemy, preferably on a mountain road with hillsides on both sides. Because the auxiliary soldiers are hidden on the mountain road, they can throw stones down, and they can also use muskets and bows to hit the enemy.

However, Franzberg remembered that the city of Basel was located in the Rhine Valley, and there was no such valley with hillsides on both sides. Because, on one side of the road is the Rhine.

Therefore, it is unrealistic to ambush the allied forces of the princes on the road north of Basel City and Basel City.

However, from Basel to Lucerne, there are mountains and mountains. Among them, there must be a valley road suitable for ambush.

As long as the allied troops of the feudal lords take this valley, and Frenzberg arranges an ambush in advance, even if there are too many troops of the feudal feudal alliance, it will be in vain, and it will definitely be bad luck.

Because the road between the mountains is definitely narrow, even if there are 60,000 feudal lords in the coalition, they can't start to move forward, they can only move forward in a long strip.

As long as the location is selected, suddenly ambush the allied forces of the princes, it will definitely hit it hard...

Once the allied army of princes is severely damaged and the casualties of Frenzberg are very limited, then the plan of the allied army of princes and the French to siege Frenzberg together will go bankrupt. Even if the allied forces of the feudal lords were not destroyed, the defeated soldiers would not be enough to cooperate with the French army to destroy the Habsburg family's army...

...

But first, Frenzberg has to choose the location of the ambush...

Therefore, Frenzberg called the adjutant Karl and instructed:

"Send someone to the south of Basel and find some hunters who are familiar with the road."

Apparently, Frenzberg was going to find a suitable ambush location from the locals...
