"The regiment, the team of Christopher I, Earl of Baden, and Lord Burki have arrived. The traps in front of us ..."
The location of the ambush chosen by the "Swiss Legion" of Frenzberg is not far north of the town of Kostal, because the town of Kostal is south, there is a fork, one is south, the direction of Olten, and the south is Lucerne area. The other is to the southeast and leads to Aarau, the capital of Aargau. The Habsburg family's ancestral eagle fort is also in the mountains in the northeast of Aarau.
Whether the coalition of princes went to Lucerne or the Habsburg family ancestral eagle fort, the consequences could not be borne by Frensberg. Moreover, with two forks, Frenzberg was not sure how the coalition of princes would go. Therefore, it is the best choice to set the ambush point on the valley road in the north of Costar.
"How far are the coalition of princes from Burki?" Frenzberg asked.
"About an hour away, before Lord Christopher threw a lot of silver coins on the road, it took a while for the other party to stop and pick up the money ..." Tan Zihui reported.
"Very well, you are now passing, let Burki accelerate them, tell them to enter the town of Kostal quickly, and then set up defenses on the spot to block the enemies that may break through the trap zone." Frenzberg ordered.
"But those traps ... Lord Burki, they can't get through ..."
"Just now I sent someone to lay the door panels on the trap to let Burki pass them. It's okay for you to pass. You remember to tell them to leave the team a little bit, don't step on the trap, there are wooden pickets below ... When they pass , I will let people remove those door panels. "
"Yes!" The spy led away ...
The burki who received the order immediately ordered aloud:
"Everyone, speed up! Come to the front, walk away, don't walk together! Especially, stay away from those carriages!" Then, the whole team began to accelerate ...
After a thousand and hundreds of people passed by Burki, the men of Frenzberg quickly evacuated the door. These door panels can still block the arrows of the coalition of princes ...
Uh ...
An hour later, the prince coalition strikers also arrived near the town of Kostal. Looking at the steep slopes on both sides of the Valley Avenue, Allied Commander Saxony Elector Frederick III instinctively felt uncomfortable, always feeling that he had forgotten something ...
But looking around, I couldn't see anything wrong. After all, Frenzberg has studied with Marin for a long time. Naturally knowing how to disguise, how can people easily see the problem?
But the cautious Frederick III changed the approach of cavalry, so that German infantry mainly infantry walked ahead. And he and the group of nobles, as well as a large number of knights, walked in the middle position.
In fact, the thing that Frederick III always felt forgotten was the mountain ambush that Marin ambushed Charles VIII 18 years ago. However, because things have passed for 18 years, and the ambush was fought in the middle of the night, and now it is daytime ... Therefore, Frederick III did not remember it for a moment ...
Uh ...
On the hill in the distance, Fritzberg looking through the telescope was a bit anxious-what's the matter? Did the other party find out?
However, after observation, it seems that it was not found again. After analysis, Frenzberg finally concluded that the other party was out of caution, not the discovery of the ambush ...
But the problem is that the ambush he arranged is basically concentrated in the front, that is, he intends to attack the noble convoy and knight group in front. And now, the aristocratic team and the Cavaliers Group are in the middle ...
"Pass my order, the elite warrior got up, bent down and moved back from the tunnel, the target-the opposing team and the Cavaliers! Remember, no heads are allowed!"
In the past two or three days, Frenzberg has let his men dig a half-height tunnel on the sides of the slopes with engineering shovel. Franzberg ordered the attack ...
After receiving the order, the three thousand elites who originally planned to rush down and attack in the front, all stood up and walked backwards from the tunnel. Even the tunnel opposite Frensberg, through a gesture in a hidden area across the hill, received orders.
Uh ...
Fortunately, the change of formation of the coalition of princes also took a lot of time, making Frenzberg's troop deployment time very sufficient. After all, it would also be a waste of time for the princely coalition cavalry and infantry to switch positions.
In fact, when the cavalry and infantry of the princes' coalition change positions, they are best suited to attack. However, that position is wrong and the opponent has not entered the ambush circle yet. Mainly, the vassal convoy and cavalry unit of the opponent did not enter the circle.
Frenzberg, as a student of Marin, even puts the principle of "shoot the horse first and the thief first and the king first". He knew that although the coalition of princes had fifty or sixty thousand people, the true essence was the 10,000 cavalry. As for infantry, most of them are mercenaries and conscripts. Even if the infantry died, those nobles were not distressed. Because, as long as the money is spent, it can be raised again. Only those cavalry units who are vassals and close friends are the foundation of the princely states.
The plate armoured knights and heavy cavalry from these knight families are not only the core of each princely country's army, but also the local officials of each princely country. Because, now the literacy rate in Europe is very low. These big and old knights are the biggest literacy groups.
Therefore, in many vassal states, the method of "enclosing knights in charge of rural administration" is implemented to allow those knights to shoulder local military and political affairs. After all, there are too few literate people in the country. In addition, if you hire a literate civil servant, you have to pay an extra salary. It is better to let these knights take charge. Only in towns will those intellectuals be appointed to manage.
Similarly, even the Ming dynasty with high literacy rates did not have enough officials to manage the villages. Therefore, the Ming Dynasty's countryside was mainly managed by clan elders, squires, and country talents. As for the county officials, they do not go to the countryside at all.
The Ming dynasty with a higher literacy rate did not have enough officials to manage the villages, let alone Europe with a lower literacy rate. Therefore, in the countryside of Europe, these small feudal masters have always been in charge, although this group of knights is not high in cultural level, but it is always better than illiterate.
Therefore, as long as these knights are eliminated, not only can the opponent's military power be attacked, but even the chaos of the other's domestic village management can be triggered.
Moreover, if the knight is caught, the opponent will have to pay the ransom. Unlike conscripts, you just grab it, the princes do n’t care ...
Uh ...
After swapping positions, the mercenaries in the front row of the coalition of the princes arranged in an orderly array of snakes and marched forward ...
When the middle prince convoy was approaching the predetermined position under the protection of the knights, the mercenaries in front also stepped on the trap ...
"what--"
"There are traps!"
"John was poked to death by a wooden picket in the trap!"
Uh ...
The front-line mercenaries suddenly became chaotic ...
"What? Trap? Could it be ..." Frederick III was taken aback, then a sense of familiarity came to mind ...
"Oops! There is an ambush! Turn around and retreat!"
"Turn around! Retreat!" Frederick III shouted with all his might. He finally remembered it—the valley ambush, which was a great deal that Marin had done. The enemy commander, Frensberg, was once under the command of Marin ...
Uh ...
At this time, Frenzberg had just arrived with his elite men to the predetermined position. Seeing that the enemy was actually turning around, he was anxious.
He straightened up from the pit on the hillside, pulled out the command knife, and shouted:
"Attack! Attack!"
Then, the soldiers of the "Swiss Legion" in Habsburg raised their heads, lifted the stone and fell down ...
"Is there really an ambush?" Many princely coalition generals have not yet reacted. But soon, the stone falling from the sky caused huge casualties to the coalition soldiers on the mountain road ...
"Ah-my head was hurt!" Someone screamed.
"my leg……"
"My arm ..."
Uh ...
These are still alive, some unlucky eggs, directly headshot by stones ~ www.novelhall.com ~ killed on the spot ...
In order to avoid the rocks rolling down the hillside, the coalition of princes on the mountain road left and right flashed, the word snake array has been twisted to be unreasonable ...
At this time, many of the coalition princes in the second half had already completed their U-turns and began to escape ...
Frenzberg was in a hurry—if he could not leave those princes and cavalry, he would not have much value even if he won. So he lowered his heart, raised his command knife again, and shouted:
"Warriors of the stormtroopers (death squads specializing in charge formations), the enemy is about to run away, and they must not be allowed to escape! Now, you pick up your swords and guns, follow me down, kill the enemy cavalry formation, kill those cavalry, Captive the vehicles where the hostile princes are! "
"Your will!" The elite of the Three Thousand Charges shouted in unison, screaming the valley.
"Except for the Stormtroopers, other people who don't throw stones and don't shoot, follow me down the mountain!" Because of the fear of not enough people, Frenzberg let all the soldiers who didn't throw stones and shoot the enemy on the mountain copy the guys. Go together……
Before going down the mountain, looking at the narrow mountain road, Frenzberg remembered a **** slogan that Marin once shouted, and he couldn't help shouting:
"Narrow road meets brave man wins! Gentlemen, follow me!" After he finished, he took the lead and rushed down a gentle **** ...
