The Rise of the European Emperor

The combat effectiveness of the French army is still very strong, especially the four to five hundred plate armor infantry, but the trump card in infantry combat. But it is a pity that they ran into the few English knights of the British army head-on. Because of the problem of weapons and the slightly inferior martial arts, this elite French army was unjustly finished.

If it was against ordinary English infantry, this army should have killed the Quartet, but they met their nemesis! After this army is finished, the French army will have nothing elite.

Originally, the 1000 arquebus gunners were quite powerful, especially in the battle of defending the city. Unfortunately, it rained that day, and the 1,000 matchlock gunners were instantly abolished. They were inferior to ordinary infantry, and their combat effectiveness was no different from that of levies composed of 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, they were really outnumbered. What's more, their elites were wiped out by accident. Therefore, General Moreno could only watch helplessly as the French army retreated steadily.

In the end, General Moreno was held down by several strong British soldiers in the Governor's Palace, and was humiliated and captured...

...

"Long live!"

"Long live!"

...

The British soldiers cheered loudly at the fortress of Calais to celebrate this rare victory. You know, since the latter part of the Hundred Years' War, the British army has rarely defeated the French army on land. This also caused the British Army to feel a little mentally weak when facing the French army. However, the victory of the battle to conquer the Calais fortress gave the British soldiers a lot of confidence.

But General Subrakin was worried about this. He worried:

"What if the French use the same tactics against us?"

This siege battle was an eye-opener for him. Whether it was an easy solution to the iron gates falling into the sewer, or opening the city gates from the inside, General Subrakin was a little surprised. Then, he thought worriedly—what if the key French used the same trick to besiege Calais?

At this time, Balk, the intelligence leader of Beihai State, said with a smile:

"Actually, this problem is very simple. In Aurich, our capital city in the North Sea, there is a solution!"

"Oh, how to solve these hidden dangers?" Subrakin asked curiously.

Balck replied:

"In Aurich,

Duke Marin opened the city gate in case there were people inside the city, so he added an iron gate inside the city gate hole. This iron gate is not too thick, and it cannot stop the impact of hitting the wood. But the Grand Duke said that this gate is actually to stop the small army in the city who tried to attack the gate. "

"This small group of troops lurking in the city and intending to open the city gate cannot carry tools such as rams for attacking the city. Usually they only carry swords, so they can be stopped without too thick iron gates."

"At that time, the inner iron gate will be locked, and it will be difficult for the enemy's assault team to open the iron gate in a short time. Moreover, the defenders near the city gate are not fools. When they destroyed the inner iron gate, they would have come over and wiped out these Helped!"

The inner iron gate of the city gate made by Marin is actually similar to the old-fashioned school iron gate of later generations. Not very strong, certainly not able to withstand siege equipment. However, it was no problem at all to resist the enemy commandos in the city for a while and persist until the reinforcements arrived on the gate tower and nearby barracks.

With this kind of thing like the big iron gate of the school, it is basically impossible for the enemy to raid and open the city gate from behind. After all, it is difficult for a single soldier to break through such a large iron gate without engineering equipment. In this way, there is no need to worry too much about the city gate being breached from the internal test.

Moreover, this kind of large iron gate is relatively light. When the city gate was opened in the morning, the guards on duty in the city gate opened the lock and could easily push open the iron gate without affecting the traffic inside and outside the city.

Subrakin was overjoyed when he heard this method, and immediately ordered to imitate it. Then he asked again:

"Then how to defend the iron gate of the sewer?"

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 the sewer in Aurich. Moreover, oil lamps are lit in the culvert at night. There is a guard post nearby, with a rainproof lookout hole."

"Unlike the French, the iron gates of the sewers in Aurich City are illuminated by oil lamps in the culverts, which last all night. Unlike the French, who rely on torches at the top of the city for lighting, they cannot prevent rain. There are lights in the culverts, as long as the lookout holes There are guards changing shifts to watch at night, and with the double iron gates, there is no need to worry about the enemy's sneak attack from the sewer..."

Marin is the ancestor of sneak attacks in Europe, so how could he not be prepared for others to attack him? Therefore, whether it is the inner defense of the city gate or the defense of the iron gate of the sewer, he has considered it, and will not give anyone a chance to attack him.

After hearing this, General Subrakin was deeply moved—as expected, he is the number one cunning person in Europe. He is not only good at inducing others, but also prevents others from intimidating himself...

If Balk knew what Saburakin was thinking, he would probably propose a duel——Paralysis, our boss is resourceful, but what is he called a shady person?

...

Subsequently, Sabulakin began to transform the city defense according to Aurich's model, completely borrowing from Aurich's model. With these two modifications, it is not afraid that the French will use the same trick to capture the fortress of Calais.

Of course, there are others. For example, drive all the French in Calais out of the Calais fortress...

Subrakin was no fool. Most of the French in the city had immigrated from France in the past few years, so they were naturally diehards of the Kingdom of France. Leaving them in the city is definitely a security risk. Maybe, they will cooperate with the French army inside and outside.

Moreover, while driving away the French who accounted for more than half of the total population in the city, the British soldiers could also take the opportunity to ransack their homes and plunder the wealth of those French. After all, this is a fortified port, a major commercial center, and the residents of the city still have some assets. Taking advantage of the opportunity to drive them out of the city, they can still make a fortune. The French in the city can take away their clothes and bedding. As for property, forget about it...

Even the English businessmen in the city were blackmailed by General Subrakin's men. After all, in the past few years, these Englishmen have done a lot of things for the French in the city, and it is reasonable to be fined. Of course, the British army did not attack them so harshly, they only knocked a sum and did not steal their homes.

...

After cleaning up the whole city, General Sabulakin sent envoys to Paris to inform the French court that the Kingdom of England had taken back the management right of the Calais Fortress. Moreover, in your country, including General Moreno, a total of 2,600 people were captured, 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...

When the news spread to Paris, there was an uproar in the Kingdom of France...
