Chapter 434： Run after poisoning

On the Danish side, after receiving information from the south, Prince Christian led a 20,000 army and spent ten days before rushing outside the city of Ribe.

And at this time, Woolf Esbrand had brought three thousand elite into the city and was ready to defend. In fact, at this time there were four thousand soldiers and two or three thousand strong soldiers in the city of Ribe. If the walls were all pulled up, the Danish army would not even want to attack in a short time.

However, in order not to scare Prince Christian, Woolf Esbrand ordered that only the original 1,000 soldiers, wearing a black cross vest on a white background, stand on the city head as the main force to resist the Danish attack.

And the other three thousand reinforcements were all put on the clothes of the common people, and they looked like the people. Sure enough, this gave Prince Christian an illusion that the defenders at the head of the city, only a thousand people were regular troops, and the rest were civilians. But in fact, the defenders in the city are all regular troops, and the people of Zhuang are all substitutes under the city ...

However, when the Danish army attacked the city, Woolf Esbrand ordered only 250 matchlocks to be used for resistance. Because, according to the Marin Army, the ratio of spearmen to musketeers is a three-to-one standard, musketeers should account for a quarter of the regular army. On the bright side, there should be only a thousand regular troops in the city, and of course there should be only 250 matchlocks.

As for the 750 musketeers of the other three thousand people, Woolf Esbrand did not let them go up to the city wall. Instead, he selected 750 young and strong hunters who were good at archery from the people. Use bows and arrows on the head to fight the enemy.

However, there are quite a few 250 matchlock guns. The Danish army is a spearman, so there is no musket and garrison shooting. Even with a small number of archers, the killing is very limited.

Under the defense of Vienna in 1529, the Austrian army used 72 muskets to stun the 200,000 army of Turkey. Even if the artillery bombarded the city wall, it failed to capture Vienna from the damaged wall.

At present, there are 250 matchlocks on the head of the city, which may be disrupted by a charge on the frontal battlefield. However, with the city wall as a backing, it is impossible to suppress the Danish army in an all-round way, but at a certain point and surface, it is hard It is still possible to suppress the Danish army.

After all, the Danish army has only 20,000 people, and it is impossible to blossom around. Generally, it will choose to focus on a certain direction to seek a breakthrough. In this way, as long as 250 musketeers are concentrated in the direction of the main attack of the Danish army, the effect of suppressing the Danish army can be achieved.

Sure enough, when the Danish army attacked the North City Wall, 250 musketeers used the endless rifle to rain and put the Danish offensive under control.

"The Danish army must also be equipped with muskets! Especially, this battle is really foolproof!" Prince Christian said angrily after jumping back several times.

Before, he still looked down on the use of muskets. Because the charging of the musket is too slow, as long as the cavalry charges, it can rush to the musketeer's eyes and slash it at will.

However, in the battle of the city, the matchlock gun is too prominent. After all, no matter how fast you are cavalry, you can't rush to the wall. The musketeer above the city had enough time to load ammunition without the urgency of time. After all, the siege ladder was set up, and people climbed the high wall again. During this time, the musketeer must have enough time to load. Besides, there is a spearman's cover beside the musketeer ...

Under the condition that their own safety is fully guaranteed, the matchlock gunmen used 50-gram lead to teach the Danish army how to behave ...

In fact, at the same time, Frederick III, who was far below the city of Lübeck, also had plans to equip a musket. It's just that Frederick III saw it better-the matchlock is mostly invincible when defending the city. On the frontal battlefield, it would be tragic if it was rushed to the front by cavalry. Of course, as Marin did, dig two trenches in front of the battlefield, and then fill the trenches with spikes, that would ensure the safety of the musketeers. However, in this way, this army was fixed and it was difficult to take advantage of the offensive.

Even in the previous battle of Lyle County, Marin defeated the classic battle of Albrecht, Duke of Saxony. The reason why the Saxon army failed was more because the high platform and handsome flag where Duke Albrecht was, happened to be The naval gun on the Lin ship was destroyed. As a result, the Saxon army thought that Duke Albrecht was killed in the gun, and Marin's loud rumors made it chaotic. Therefore, in that war, the Saxon army lost more luck.

But Frederick III, after seeing the thousands of musketeers brought by Marin with his own eyes, and defeating the Bossa coalition soldiers who were trying to attack, had to admit that the muskets were too powerful in the battle of the city ...

Therefore, after the war, Frederick III intended to form a small number of musketeers in the army of the electorate of Saxony. However, it is mainly used to guard the city. In frontal confrontation, the Saxons still believe in heavy cavalry charge. Even if the heavy cavalry can't charge well, isn't there a strong Swiss spearman?

Although both of them remembered to equip muskets, Frederick III had planned and planned arrangements, and Prince Christian, more, was because of frustration after frustration.

But Prince Christian is not a fool. He has also heard of the English attacking while Edward ’s musketeer was dull on a rainy day while besieging Dublin, Ireland. So, he was not in a hurry, and decided to wait for the rain to take it down again.

Anyway, in his view, there are only a thousand regular troops on the city head. If the muskets were misfired on a rainy day, the Danish army launched a strong attack and could not take it off.

So, in the following days, he simply did not move. Then, in the main account, entertain a few lieutenants to drink. Jim ’s current deputy general, General Maxim, is one of them.

In order to get the chance to start, Jim followed General Maxim every day and slaps the horse fart, finally got the opportunity to be mixed into the main account and stand behind General Maxim ...

In a situation where several generals and Prince Christian were drunk, www.novelhall.com ~ Jim took the initiative to pour wine for Prince Christian and several lieutenants. While pouring the wine, Jim quickly slipped "Cantrera" into Prince Christian's glass.

Under normal circumstances, some of you may find out. However, everyone was drunk and dizzy, and no one noticed this situation. Then, Prince Christian unknowingly drank the poisoned wine ...

Watching Prince Christian drink the wine with the poisonous "Cantreira", Jim felt stable. Because the poison was still seven days away, Jim didn't rush to escape, but on the next day, he deliberately found several deputy-level colleagues of similar rank to drink together.

While drinking, Jim deliberately pretended to be drunk. Then, when "drunken", a few words of Swedish appeared in the mouth, which attracted the attention of the adjutants of other generals at the same table ...

The next night, Jim found a chance to run away. Then, he may be the news of the Swedish spy, and it also came out ...

After leaving the Danish military camp, Jim rode his horse and went all the way south to find the army of Saqqara. Because according to the agreement, Saqqara is already in the nearby area. However, Saqqara had to wait for Prince Christian's poisoning, which would lead to the chaos of the Danish army before launching an offensive. In this way, it is more stable ... Jim rushed over, just to confirm the timetable of Prince Christian's poisoning with Sakara ...

It was just that Jim did n’t know that the night he was poisoned, Prince Christian drank too much because he drank too much, and finally vomited. "Cantreira", which he drank, was also mostly spit out ...
