Chapter 1079： Stabbing behind and buckling shit

As soon as he returned to Aurich, Marin hadn't settled down yet, and news came that Gonzalo led the army to break through the capital of Fes, Morocco's Vatas dynasty.

"What? How fast? The Moroccan is so useless, right?" Marin was very depressed when he received the information from Kohler.

After reading the information carefully, Ma Lin's brows were directly frowned into Chuan characters:

"Is this Abu Abdullah Burtukali Ibn Mohammed kicked by a donkey? With more than 60,000 scimitar cavalry in hand, he chose to fight the Spaniards and the offensive and defensive battle with the Spaniards. The cavalry's motility ... "

Morocco has a small population, probably about 500,000 or 600,000 people. However, most Moroccans are nomadic people. Men basically ride horses and are good at making scimitars. Therefore, although there are only hundreds of thousands of people, the Kovatas can gather more than 60,000 main cavalry.

Of course, these more than 60,000 cavalry, more than 10,000 Sudanese cavalry cavalry belong to the main cavalry. The other 50,000 people are mostly tribal cavalry with temporary signs. But even so, more than 60,000 main cavalry is enough to defeat the army of most European countries.

Therefore, although there is only one Strait of Gibraltar, Spain and Portugal have been unable to defeat Morocco. They can only build a strong fort along the coast and rely on the fort to defend and seek a foothold. This is because, in the wild, the Spanish and Portuguese armies are not opponents of tens of thousands of Moroccan scimitar cavalry.

Of course, that was before. In the past, Spain and Portugal could gather up to 10,000 or 20,000 troops, and could not fight against tens of thousands of Moroccan cavalry. But since Spain obtained the map of Marin and the spice trade in Calicut in southern India, the purse swelled violently. In addition, the Spanish learned Marin's "Marin Phalanx" (Spanish Phalanx) and defeated the French army. In addition, Austria's Margaret also helped hire 20,000 German mercenaries, with 30,000 Spanish troops who know how to use the "Marin Phalanx", making Spain finally able to defeat Morocco.

Under the leadership of Gonzalo de Córdoba, the Spanish army of 50,000 troops first aided the siege, frustrated the Moroccans, and then attacked the enemy. They must be rescued, and they besieged the capital of Vatas, Fes. Moroccan. Today, in the Vatas dynasty of Morocco, which originally had more than 60,000 scimitar cavalry, only eight thousand main cavalry fled to Marrakech, the old capital, with Sultan Abu Abdullah Burtukali Ibn Muhammad.

But Marin knew that if Abu Abdullah Burtukali Ibn Mohammed still held the stupid idea of ​​staying in Marrakech, it would only be a matter of time before Gonzalo was eliminated.

But the problem is that Marin bewitched Spain to attack Morocco, digging for Spain, not giving Spain territory ...

Moreover, the failure of the Moroccans was purely incompetent of the commander, which led to such a disastrous defeat.

If it were replaced by Marin to command the more than 60,000 scimitar cavalry of the Vatas dynasty in Morocco, he would never choose to confront Gonzalo's 50,000 army.

Unless Gonzalo ’s 50,000 army has shrunk in the coastal area, it is convenient to supply from the sea. Otherwise, once the Spanish army penetrates inland, the Moroccan curve cavalry will have the opportunity to use sports and raid attacks to attack the supply line of the Spanish army.

In order to destroy Morocco this time, Spain used 50,000 troops and nearly 50,000 civilians, adding up to nearly 100,000. With so many people, the food demand is enormous. If the Moroccan lures the Spanish army deep inland, then uses large cavalry to cut off the other party's supplies. So, the Spanish army has only one option-to return to the sea. Otherwise, just the consumption of supplies can bring down itself.

As for protecting the supply line, that is also unrealistic. This is because the Spanish army, together with the German mercenaries and cavalry, only add up to five or six thousand. Moreover, most of the two thousand German cavalry are still heavy cavalry. As long as the Moroccan Cavalry cavalry chose to fight, the Spaniards were not opponents at all.

However, Marin really overestimated the level of command of the Sultan Abu Abdullah Burtukali Ibn Mohammed of the Vatas dynasty in Morocco. Obviously has more than 60,000 maneuverable light cavalry, just want to face the Spaniards. After the defeat in the city of Tetouan, they actually retracted into Fez directly. When the Spanish army entered Fez, they did not send people to harass the Spanish supply line ...

In short, in Marin's eyes, Abu Abdullah Burtukali Ibn Mohammed's military talent is estimated to be similar to that of a pig.

Now, Abu Abdullah Burtukali Ibn Mohammed has only 8,000 regular cavalry left. In addition, it is possible to recruit more than 10,000 tribal cavalry from various tribes.

In addition, it should be noted that the Watas dynasty, including the previous Marin dynasty, was a regime established by the Berbers. The Arabs, who are better able to fight than the Berbers, are currently a minority among the Moroccan population. However, their combat effectiveness must not be ignored.

For example, the Arabs in the Saad tribal alliance in southern Morocco are definitely an armed force that cannot be ignored.

The Saad people are currently in a relatively arid and barren southern part of Morocco with a small population. However, their strength is very strong, able to gather more than 10,000 Arab scimitar cavalry.

These Arabian scimitar cavalry are more powerful than those Berber scimitar cavalry who copyed them. To what extent are the Saad's scimitar cavalry? Originally, about 1554 or so, the Arab scimitar cavalry of the Saad dynasty defeated the coalition of Berber cavalry and Ottoman Turkish cavalry at the time and directly eliminated the Vatars. Then they defeated the Turkish intervention forces and took complete control of Morocco.

Turkey in 1554 was at its peak. At that time, the Turkish Sultan was the famous Suleyman I, the man known as the emperor. In this way, the Moroccan Arab cavalry of the Saad dynasty still forced the Turks back, which shows that the Arab cavalry of the Saad dynasty is powerful.

Of course, it was the Saad dynasty that was originally decades later in history. The Saad people now have an anti-intention. However, the strength is still not enough, only the appearance of more than 10,000 cavalry. Moreover, most of them are ordinary herdsmen cavalry, not all regular cavalry. But in general, the Saad Arab cavalry is more powerful than the Berber cavalry of the same grade. Even, it is no worse than the regular guards of the Vatas Dynasty.

Marin does not really care about the combat effectiveness of the Arab cavalry of the Saad tribal alliance, but he is worried that the Saad people who had the antipathy at this time would stab the Vatas dynasty behind their backs. Originally, the Saad rebelled around 1511. Now, they are almost ready to rebel. Once retreated to Marrakech in the south, the remaining power of the Vatas dynasty clashed with the Saad people who had long been opposed. Well, the Spaniards are estimated to laugh to death.

...

Therefore, Marin now wants to send a messenger to remind the Sultan Abu Abdullah Burtukali Ibn Mohammed of the Vatas dynasty to be careful that the Saads stabbed in the back. If necessary, it is best to convince the Saad to deal with the Spaniards first with him.

As for the Spaniards who would draw the Saad against the Watas dynasty, Marin never worried. Why? Because Spain is a fanatical Christian country, there are also terrible fanatical religious institutions like the Inquisition. Therefore, the Spaniard is unlikely to join forces with the pagan Saad.

Of course, Marin did not expect the Watas dynasty and Saad people to join forces sincerely. As long as he is at this critical time, it is enough for the Saad people to attack the Vatas dynasty behind their backs.

As for the participation of the Vatas dynasty, there are 8,000 main cavalry, and can recruit thousands of herdsmen cavalry. With such strength, as long as you are not stupid and sloppy, you can still persist for a long time. The premise is that someone needs to remind Abu Abdullah Burtukali Ibn Mohammed ...

...

To this end, Marin sent two groups of people to see Sultan Abu Abdullah Burtukali Ibn Mohammed of the Vatas dynasty, and Abu Abdullah, the leader of the Saad people. Kaim.

Sending people to meet Abu Abdullah Burtukali Ibn Mohammed naturally reminded him of using the advantages of the scimitar cavalry to attack the Spaniard's supply line and destroy the Spanish's plan to invade the entire Morocco.

Although there are not many cavalry in the Vatas dynasty, the number of supply lines used to fight the Spaniards is still barely enough. After all, there are not many Spanish cavalry. As long as the Vatas dynasty began to take advantage of cavalry and guerrillas with the Spaniards, the Spaniards, mainly infantrymen, would definitely have a headache ~ www.novelhall.com ~ As for meeting the leader of the Saad, Abu Abdullah. The people of Kaim naturally persuaded him to be at least neutral in this war. If possible, it is best to pull Abu Abdullah Burtukali Ibn Mohammed. After all, if the Vatas dynasty is over, the Saad can't run away.

...

It's just that for doing this kind of backstab, Marin never wants people to know that he did it himself. Therefore, Malinte asked Kohler to order the Paris branch of the North Sea Chamber of Commerce to hire French people to travel to southern Morocco to meet with Abu Abdullah Burtukali Ibn Mohammed and Abu Abdullah. Kaim. In this way, even if the Spaniard checked, the French were the last to be found. Anyway, France and Spain were already enemies, and they were killed and killed in Italy. This **** basin is buckled on the French, and the Spaniards will definitely believe it. Even the French, the deadly enemy of Spain, will learn to take over this **** pot after learning of the incident. Because the French will definitely be happy about things that make the enemy unlucky ...

The Spaniards, who were happily taking over Fes, did not expect that their "close friend" Marin was planning to stab them in the back. And the twelfth King Louis XII, who was busy deceiving the Holy See, did not expect that this guy of Marin was planning to buckle him.
