Chapter 677： Siwag's intuition

In York City, the French commander, Francois Cavaliers, was puzzled by Siwag's insistence on keeping the French army from full battle. , Visit the latest chapter: ШШШ.79xs.СоМ. After all, if an experienced French army participates in the defense of the city, the city wall will be more stable.

But Siwag had always disagreed, and only let the French army go to the wall to help in a critical moment. In addition, Sivag asked the Francois Knight to send 4,000 French troops every night to guard against the British night attack.

After "mixing" with Marin for a while, Siwag attached great importance to night raids and guarding against night raids. Of course, the French also pay more attention to it. After all, their predecessor, King Charles VIII, was defeated by Marin's night raid. The French team also joined the anti-night attack mechanism after that battle.

However, the anti-night attack mechanism needs to divert many people to reverse the day and night to watch the night, which is very unfavorable for the overall combat effectiveness. And Siwag arranged half of the French army to help the profession, so he did not need to send his recruits to watch the night. In this way, when all the Fifth Legion fighters have no circadian circadian disorder, everyone's combat effectiveness is maintained very well.

The French are also happy. Because there is no danger on duty. Switching to an insidious person like Henry VII or Thomas Stanley to lead the soldiers may have a night attack, but the impulsive young like Henry Percy, Uncle Haha is more serious and prefers to defeat the enemy in an upright manner.

As a result, the seven thousand French were divided into two groups-one group of four thousand people was responsible for the night, and the other group of three thousand people was responsible for helping the city during the day. Seeing where there are leaks ‘holes’, go help.

A few days ago, the French helped the Fifth Legion many times, but after a week, the French became more and more idle and could not find any chance.

The other French soldiers didn't matter, because they weren't willing to work hard for Edward. Someone helped to defend the city, but it's better not to use them?

But the Francois Knight was a little unhappy ... why? Because he remembered Edward's promise ...

Edward had promised that as long as the Knights of Francois helped him defend York City, he would reward him with an earl. If the French army he commanded had no chance to show his face, why would he ask Edward to ask for the Earl's position? Everything was done by the people of Sivag. He was worried that the title would also be taken by Sivag ...

So, Francois Cavaliers began to discuss the issue of rotation with Siwag. But Siwag didn't agree, but blamed it for two days ...

"General Siwag, your soldiers suffered heavy casualties. Why don't you let us help defend the city?" François asked curiously.

"According to His Majesty Edward's instructions, I'm training!" Siwagg had long thought of a response plan, and the answer came naturally.

Sivag did not tell Francois that he was a Frisian, and the French did not know that Sivag ’s Fifth Army was Marin ’s. This point was Malinte's "pay". Marin wanted the French to think that this new army was prepared by Edward. In this way, after these Frenchmen returned to their country, they would tell Louis XII that Edward had already prepared a new army of 10,000 people. Then Edward would be presumed to have been presupposed by Louis XII, and Marin was washed by the French himself.

After all, the 10,000 troops of Siwag, although they are all recruits, are trained at first sight. If Louis XII knew that Marin had 10,000 English recruits, and that it was prepared a few months ago, he might have guessed Marin's suspicion ...

...

"Training?" Knight Francois doubted for a while, but soon his eyes brightened ...

"This is indeed a good way to train troops! The city defense is not very dangerous, and the recruits are not easy to collapse. What a great idea! No, I have to report to your majesty!" Knight Francois said excitedly. His Majesty said in his mouth, naturally not Edward, but Louis XII.

But Siwag poured cold water on him:

"General Francois, it's not that simple ..."

"Where is not easy?" Francois puzzled.

Siwaq raised a finger and said:

"First of all, these 10,000 recruits are used to defend the city. If there are no veterans to fight, it is likely to collapse ... The reason why I dare to train in York City is because there are you 10,000 veterans behind the city wall. Even if we collapse, You can also help drive the enemy back ... "

The Francois Knight thought about it, nodded, and agreed. But he quickly excited:

"That's fine, we will let the recruits keep the city in the future, and the veterans will be under the city. In this way, using the brutal siege warfare, you can really train the recruits quickly!" These days, the improvement of the soldiers of the Fifth Legion is in his eyes of.

Syvag shook his head, raised his second finger, and said:

"It's not like this. We train like this, there is a second prerequisite ..."

"The second condition? What's that?" Siwagg asked eagerly. If a good training method is summed up and reported to French King Louis XII, his title will definitely improve ...

"The second condition is that the enemy outside the city does not know that there are 20,000 troops in the city ... If they know that there are 10,000 veterans and 10,000 recruits in York City, it is estimated that they will never dare to attack the city with such confidence. ... "Sivag said slowly. To put it bluntly, the British military lacked intelligence. After all, the British army has lost control of Yorkshire for almost two years, and intelligence work is naturally not in place. Moreover, the Fifth Legion traveled day and night, and came to York City by picking a trail, it was very concealed.

The Francois Cavaliers thought for a while, and it was true. If you take your own troops to attack the city, you must be much more cautious if you know that there are as many enemy troops as you are. The British army outside the city probably didn't know that there were also 20,000 troops in the city at this time, so it was so reassuring to attack ...

"No wonder you didn't let our army go up to the city wall together. It turned out that you were afraid to scare each other ..." Knight Francois suddenly realized.

"So, General Francois, if you want to train new recruits and allow them to exercise through the fortifications, you must pay attention to confidentiality so that the other party does not know the existence of the new recruits. Otherwise, the other party knows that you have a lot of troops I'm not happy to play with you. Or, other measures will be taken ... "Siwag didn't hide the" private ", and shared his experience with the Francois Cavaliers enthusiastically.

However, if you think Sivag is not 'selfish' or stupid, then you are wrong. It is not that Sivag is generous, but Sivag understands that this knight named Francois will not return to France alive ...

As a middle-aged veteran and a politically experienced person, Sivagg had learned that Edward promised to enclose Francois as Earl ~ www.novelhall.com ~ knew that this promise would be difficult to fulfill. However, it is unlikely that Edward will be resigned as a future king. Therefore, the best way is to let the Francois Knight die reasonably after success ... In this way, Edward can save a Earl's title and a large block of land ...

Sivag did n’t know if Edward was a fierce monarch, but he knew at least that his monarch Marin was absolutely cruel ... Even if Edward did n’t shoot, Marin would probably help to prepare this stunned French knight ...

You know, the Fifth Legion began to form quietly last year. Even, Edward did not discuss with Marin at that time. It can be seen that Marin has long planned to plot England.

Moreover, Sivag had a terrible intuition-he felt that his master, Marin, might not have conspired with Northumberland and the Isle of Wight in consultation with Edward, but the whole of England ...

Marin was aware of the fact that Marin's son, Caesar, had obtained the right to marry Edward's only 'daughter' Princess Margaret in second place. Although it is not clear why Marin dared to bet that Louis XII could not give birth to a son and Edward had no son, but the intuition told Siwag-Marin must have any way to do this ... and this intuition is also Siwag After the eight former masters and masters are dead, they can still live well and rely on the most ...
