Chapter 1128： Spain in difficulty 2

Distant northwest Africa, the old capital of Morocco, Marrakech. Spanish star Gonzalo de Córdoba stood at the head of the city, his face full of worries.

It has been several months since the Spanish army captured Marrakech. However, the Moroccan Ouattas dynasty has not been destroyed, and it is still active on the land of Morocco.

This war has been fought for a year, but it is far from over. The reason is that Marin's original guerrilla warfare worked.

At the beginning, Marin secretly passed through Venice and France to the Sultan Abu Abdullah Burtukali Ibn Mohammed of the Vatas dynasty in Morocco and Abu Abdullah, the Saad tribal leader dominated by the Arabs in the south. La Kaim made recommendations, suggesting that they temporarily put aside their prejudices and deal with the Spaniards together.

However, the two sides have not really joined together. The Sultan Abu Abdullah Burtukali Ibn Muhammad of the Ouattas dynasty was reluctant to adopt such a decent tactic of guerrilla warfare, but chose to persevere. The Saad tribal leader Abu Abdullah Kaim did not want to help the Watas dynasty. After all, they dreamed of replacing the Watas dynasty.

Of course, Abu Abdullah Kaim is not stupid. He knew that if the Spaniards strongly annexed Morocco and wiped out the Vatas dynasty, they would be the next. Because, the French messenger told him that the Spaniards must promote Catholicism in Morocco, and the pagans were either killed or expelled.

Therefore, Abu Abdullah Kaim assured that this time he would never stabb in the back of the Vatas dynasty. Unless, they beat the Spaniards.

In this way, the Vatas dynasty, which was very weak at this time, did not finally perish immediately.

Although the reckless Watas sultan Abu Abdullah Burtukali Ibn Mohammed rejected the guerrilla suggestion, he was very in favor of the tactics of attacking the food forces of the Spanish army.

The Spanish army is dominated by infantry and is very large. Therefore, the transportation of grain and grass by the Spanish army must be very important.

As a result, Abu Abdullah Burtukali Ibn Mohammed dispatched the last eight thousand regular cavalry and gathered tens of thousands of ordinary Berber herdsmen cavalry to attack the Spanish army's grain transport team.

At first, because of the surprise, the Spanish army was indeed caught off guard, burned and snatched a lot of food, causing the front-line army to nearly break the food.

But the Spanish star Gonzalo de Cordoba, who was heading for Marrakech, made a decisive decision, set up a bait, and made a fake food delivery team. The scale seemed to be very large to attract Moroccans to rob. Skim. But in fact, the army of Gonzalo de Cordoba was ambushed nearby ...

The cavalry of the Vatas dynasty in Morocco was really fooled and rushed towards the grain transport team in a valley. To their surprise, a large number of Spanish troops suddenly appeared in the valley ...

In this way, Gonzalo de Córdoba relied on this attack, devastating the Moroccan Vatas dynasty and eliminating more than 4,000 Moroccan cavalry.

The rest of the Moroccan cavalry fled back to Marrakesh like a bereavement dog ...

Fortunately, more than 4,000 Moroccan cavalry were wiped out, most of them were cavalry cavalry of various tribes gathered from the Vatas dynasty. As for the regular cavalry of the Vatas dynasty, only a thousand people were lost. The reason the Spaniards could not eliminate the Moroccan army was because the Moroccans ran fast on horseback. The Spanish army is mainly infantry, not easy to chase. The number of cavalry is too small, it is to send food to catch up.

This time, the Sultan Abu Abdullah Burtukali Ibn Mohamed of the Vatas Dynasty was completely honest and began to use guerrilla tactics to deal with the Spaniards according to the advice of the emissaries of Venice.

Then, the Spanish were unlucky ...

After adopting a flexible maneuvering strategy, the Moroccan cavalry of the Vatas dynasty no longer sought to fight the Spanish transport forces head-on, but began a haunted guerrilla tactic.

With the method of one person, two horses or even three horses, the Moroccan cavalry are maneuvering

On Moroccan land. However, those who have suffered losses will never go into the city and into the valley. Moreover, their movements became more swift and neat.

For example, when the Moroccan cavalry harassed the Spanish food transport team, they never burned any food. They burned food when they came up, and ran away after the fire, without giving the Spaniards the opportunity to reinforce.

Generally, their tactics are to pour the sheep oil on the grain bag after impacting the guards of the grain transport team. Then, use a torch to ignite directly. After finishing the fire, seeing that the fire was difficult to extinguish, he ran straight away. When the Spanish reinforcements arrived, the other party had already fled ...

As for the supply of the Moroccan army? They don't need food, just cheese. They can eat cheese made from goat milk or mare milk. The cheese stuff is more common in Morocco, where animal husbandry is dominant. At the same time, Moroccan horses are also more resistant to rough feeding. After all, they are raised in free range and can live by eating grass.

Although it can't keep up with the rough feeding of Mongolian horses, the frequency of eating food is very low. Unlike European war horses, they always need to eat food. Even if you really want to eat food, it's a big deal to grab the Spanish army's food transport team and let the horses eat a little more ...

Therefore, although there are more than 10,000 cavalry, the cost of keeping cavalry in the Kovatas dynasty is not too much. Unlike the Spanish army, if there is no food for a day, it is estimated to be difficult.

...

Under the almost rogue attack of Morocco, the Spanish army suffered terribly. In the end, the Spanish army commander Gonzalo de Cordoba decided to desperately and quickly sent troops to siege Morocco's last base camp-the old capital of Marrakech ...

In the eyes of the Spaniards, as long as the Moroccans' last capital is breached, the Moroccans have basically lost their roots. According to common sense, the loss of all the new and old capitals of Morocco ’s Vatas dynasty is basically equivalent to destruction ...

However, what Gonzalo de Cordoba did not expect was that the Moroccans did not choose to defend the city and the Spanish army.

After learning that the Spanish army and the forage forces were about to arrive in Marrakesh, after a fierce ideological struggle, the Sultan Abu Abdullah Burtukali Ibn Mohammed of the Vatas Dynasty in Morocco finally decided to abandon Marrakech ...

Before the arrival of the Spanish army, Abu Abdullah Burtukali Ibn Muhammad finally made up his mind ~ www.novelhall.com ~ With the surviving army and treasures, he retreated into the Atlas Mountains .

Therefore, although Gonzalo de Córdoba captured Marrakech, the old capital of Morocco, there was little gain. After all, Marrakech is almost evacuated.

Moreover, after occupying Marrakech, the Spanish army's front became longer. The supply line is also longer and more dangerous.

The Sultan Abu Abdullah Burtukali Ibn Mohammed of the Vatas dynasty, after hiding food and treasure in the Atlas Mountains, sent troops to attack the Spanish food transport team.

In this way, Gonzalo de Cordova was surprised-after he captured Marrakech, he lost more initiative.

The Spanish army was not a cavalry who had not chased down the Vatas dynasty, but most of the Spanish army was infantry, which basically could not catch up. The only cavalry, too few, may catch up in a hurry. Therefore, Gonzalo de Cordoba is now-he has no way to take the rogue Moroccan cavalry. Therefore, Gonzalo de Cordoba stood frowning on the city's head.

Because the financial pressure on Spain caused by successive wars is too great. The consumption of food alone is an astronomical figure. And Spain's food prices are one of the most expensive regions in Europe. It is too bad for Spain to fight a protracted war ...

Therefore, Gonzalo de Cordova is now in a dilemma-trying to clean up the remnants of the Moroccan Vatas dynasty, it can not be caught up. But it is difficult to control the old capital of Marrakech in the south without destroying each other's remaining evil. In particular, the other party couldn't stop harassing the grain transportation team from the northern coast to Marrakech, which caused difficulties in food supply in Marrakech ...
