The Rise of the European Emperor

Then, the officers on the colonel's field went back to the battalion and prepared to go out. The campus area is limited, and it is impossible for all 15,000 people to come, only a part of them. Therefore, the army needs to prepare for the expedition.

In addition, it was just evening at this time, and the tsunami was still roaring just now, which must have alarmed the French. Therefore, Frundsberg prepared to quietly lead the troops out of the city at 12 o'clock in the middle of the night...

Seeing that the people were almost gone, Frundsberg quickly winked at his cronies and said:

"Come on, hurry up and carry this altar and these gold coins into the command room and lock them up! Be careful, this is a miracle!"

Several cronies understood, immediately went to the stage and carefully carried the stage back to the command room. After entering the command room, taking advantage of no one, they quietly replaced the glued gold coins with big heads on both sides with normal gold coins, which were also face up and in the same position... In this way, they would not be afraid of coming back from the expedition After revealing...

Ancient Europe was different from ancient China. During the Song Dynasty in China, Confucianism was in power, and it emphasized that "the child does not talk about strange powers and confuses the gods." Although Di Qing was found to be cheating in this move, it was fine, and it became a good story.

But not in ancient Europe. Because Frundsberg is deceiving everyone in the name of God and Jesus. If it is discovered afterwards, a charge of "blasphemy" cannot be escaped. No matter how great the credit is, it will be finished.

Therefore, at that time, Frundsberg asked his cronies to replace all the gold coins with normal ones afterwards, and destroyed the previous batch of problematic gold coins. He even left behind two cronies who silenced the so-called "Master William"...

After making these arrangements, Frundsberg let out a sigh of relief, and quietly left the city with the army in the middle of the night...

...

Before leaving, Shachirica, the leader of the East Swiss militia in charge of staying in Lucerne, found Frundsberg with a bitter face and said:

"My lord, with the more than 4,000 eastern Swiss mountain people under my command, I'm afraid I won't be able to stop the French army!"

Frundsberg reassured:

"It's okay, I didn't expect you to stop it..."

Shachirica choked suddenly - what is this called? Although this is the truth, is it really good to say it at this time?

Frundsberg went on to say:

"Your task is to pretend to be us in the next few days. I have left enough military uniforms for you, and you can hang them on the city wall as often as you want. In addition, plant more double-headed eagle flags on the city wall!" Marin once taught him the "suspect tactics".

In addition, the "military uniform" of Frundsberg's army was also learned from Marin's army. However, the army of the North Sea State has a white vest with a black cross painted on it, and the soldiers under Frundsberg also wear white vests, but the double-headed eagle of the Habsburg family is painted on it. Of course, this is not a painting, but a large block printing. After all, the double-headed eagle is difficult to draw, not as easy as the black cross.

After wearing the white vest with the Habsburg double-headed eagle, the military appearance of the "Swiss Legion" of the Habsburg family in Frundsberg looks much neater. Moreover, the cost of this white drawing vest is very low, and it is made of poor-quality woolen cloth woven from poor-quality coarse wool. And the vest manufacturing process is also simple, so there is no cost. Of course, the soldiers in the front row are also issued with breastplates and helmets, which cost a bit more...

Shachirika is still worried,

Asked:

"What if the French see through it and come to attack the city? We definitely can't stop it..."

Frundsberg bowed his head and pondered for a while, then said:

"If the French really come to attack, you stick to it for 5 days. After 5 days, I will allow you to surrender, and you will not be held accountable!"

"Okay!" With Frundsberg's promise, Shachirica was relieved.

And Frundsberg, after explaining clearly, took advantage of the night to march towards the northern mountains with a large army...

...

However, many soldiers carried half-length engineering shovels commonly equipped by Beihai soldiers...

During the march, Frundsberg sent his horses to Basel, notified the Basel garrison general Burki, and ordered him to stand firm for two days, then retreated from the south gate with the family of Count Christopher I of Baden, and headed for Costa along the main road. Valley. Moreover, Frundsberg specially took care of Bulki - told him not to rush on the road, but to go to the Costal Valley in a leisurely way...

This is because Frundsberg predicted that in order to be able to reasonably enter Switzerland, the coalition forces of the princes would definitely not rush to catch up with the family of Count Christopher I of Baden, but would catch up leisurely, just like a cat teasing a mouse. Only after approaching Lucerne, Christopher I was useless, would they seriously pursue and catch Christopher I's family, or simply let them go. After all, their real target is the Habsburg family army in Lucerne, not Christopher I...

...

When Frundsberg's messenger arrived in Basel, Christopher I's family had just fled into the city of Basel. The Basel guard Burki had only 2,000 troops in his hands. Facing the 60,000 coalition forces of the princes, he was so scared that he almost peed his pants.

However, Frundsberg told him in the letter that the allied forces of the princes would not really attack desperately, but would only force them to run away...

Sure enough, the allied forces of princes who came with the family of Count Christopher I of Baden arrived at the base of Basel and were not in a hurry to attack the city. Instead, they built camps in the east, north, and west directions of Basel, leaving no troops in the south. Stationed...

"The commander of the legion is really good at predicting things!" Burki finally calmed down and began to deploy his defenses. After all, Frundsberg asked him to hold out for two days...

...

The reason why Frundsberg made Burki stand for two days was to buy time for his army to set up an ambush. After all, there are many things to prepare for setting up an ambush on the hillsides on both sides of the valley.

First of all, we need to block the road... This is no problem, just spread out all the cavalry and prohibit anyone from going in the direction of Basel, so that the secrecy can be kept.

Then, to lay an ambush, you must dig holes on the hillsides on both sides to hide the soldiers. Otherwise, people will see the hillsides on both sides of the Costal Valley full of soldiers from afar, and the fool will continue to move forward...

In addition, enough horse traps must be dug in front of the valley to prevent the enemy from moving forward desperately. At the same time, enough stones must be prepared on both sides of the hillside. Because, throwing stones down from the hillside does a lot of damage. Even wearing a full-body plate armor, facing the "boulder falling from the sky", you will either die or be injured.

Among them, round stones are the best. Because, the round stone will roll up and roll into the enemy's formation, messing up the enemy's formation, completely disintegrating its battle formation and military spirit...

Therefore, during the two days Burki won in Basel, Frundsberg spent digging pits and collecting stones...

...

On Burki's side, the allied forces of the princes did not make every effort to besiege Basel, they just put on a show. Therefore, he easily held on for two days.

But on the third day, Frederick III, the elector of Saxony, got impatient and ordered the coalition forces of the princes to attack once, causing hundreds of casualties to the defenders of Burki immediately.

Anyway, the time was up, Burki directly took the remaining more than a thousand people, the protectors of the Earl Christopher I of Baden and his family, and fled from the south gate in a hurry. In order to delay the pursuers, Christopher I, Earl of Baden, deliberately sprinkled a lot of silver coins on the road...

This is what he learned from the Battle of Fornovo many years ago, when the French army wanted to run away and was afraid of being entangled by Italian light cavalry. Therefore, Charles VIII simply ordered to shaman gold and silver treasures on the road. Then, the light cavalry soldiers of the Italian Allied Army really got off their horses to pick up money, and forgot to hunt down the French...

However, this trick was easily seen through by Frederick III, Elector of Saxony. But Frederick III did not prevent the soldiers from stopping to pick up money, because he was not in a hurry to catch up with Christopher I. Stopping to pick up money now, just to find a good reason for not being able to catch up with the other party...

After picking up all the money on the ground, the allied forces of the princes continued to pursue Christopher I and his party. In this way, the two parties chased and fled, and they both walked on the Costal Valley Avenue and entered the ambush circle...
