Chapter 1269： Force surge and defense

Next, Frenzberg first took Karl to the warehouse, and found the gold and silver treasures that he didn't pay much attention to. Although gold and silver treasures are not as important as food during wars, those mercenaries who admit money and people do not like this.

"Find someone to push these boxes of gold and silver with me to the prison camp!"

Then, under the protection of a group of elite guards, Frenzberg took a lot of gold and silver treasures to the prisoner of war camp where the mercenaries were ...

He first led people into the camp where the mercenary generals were, and smiled and asked:

"Are you willing to accept my employment?"

Those captured mercenaries will lead a collective stunned, then, a stunned mercenary general "bah", shouted:

"Never give life to the running dogs of the Habsburgs!"

Frenzberg smiled, but turned around and told Carl:

"Pull him out and do it!"

Then, the mercenary leader who firmly opposed the Habsburg family was dragged out and sliced ​​...

The remaining mercenary general was suddenly frightened, and a mercenary general asked fearfully:

"Adult, even if we promise to accept your employment, will you trust us? Are you afraid of stab us behind us?"

Frenzberg shook his head and said:

"I don't trust you, and I'm afraid to stab you in the back. But this time, I'm not here to hire you, but I hope you will help me to tell your mercenaries to join my army!

"Then how do we arrange?" The general was stunned, and then tense up-could we be killed?

The atmosphere in the camp was suddenly tense, but Frenzberg was not in a hurry, so Carl moved a box of gold and silver and said:

"Although I don't believe you, but if you will persuade your men to join my army, I can divide this box of gold and silver for you. Then, I will let you go ..."

Frenzberg was also a mercenary. He knew that most mercenaries were stupid and some had good temper, but they all listened to these mercenary generals. If you do not pass these mercenary generals, it is difficult to persuade those stubborn mercenaries. It is easy for these mercenaries to persuade those mercenaries to join themselves. After all, these people are the leaders of the mercenaries. Therefore, he needs these people to cooperate ...

Looking at these hesitant mercenary generals, Frenzberg asked indifferently:

"Have you thought about it? I agree, and I will take the money to go home after I have done this. If you don't agree, then die!"

"Sir, you can't do this! Europe has no tradition of killing captured officers!" A mercenary general protested.

Frenzberg glanced at him and explained:

"Europe only has the tradition of not killing captured nobles, there is no tradition of not killing captured officers. The former officers are nobles, and most of the mercenary officers are not nobles, and killing does not violate the rules."

Indeed, since the rise of German mercenaries, many local heroes have also formed mercenary regiments. Most of those cavalry mercenary leaders are nobles. However, many of the leaders of infantry mercenaries are not aristocrats, and they are not within the rules of inability to kill.

At this moment, the two mercenary generals stood up and smiled:

"We are nobles!" Apparently, they thought that Frensberg would not dare to kill them.

Frenzberg frowned and said:

"I really can't kill you casually, but I can let you 'death to death' ..." This is the threat of Chiguo. As soon as the words fell, Frensberg's guards were about to move, and they seemed to pull the two out and let them "fight to death" ...

Seeing that Frenzberg was so cruel, the mercenary leaders in the camp had counseled ...

After all, they work as mercenaries to earn money to support their families, and they are not willing to die like this ... Moreover, those who can be leaders are not stupid ...

……

On the persuasion of these former mercenary leaders, 15,000 of the 18,000 captured mercenaries agreed to join the army of Frensberg. Then they were broken up and joined into the various teams in Frensberg. As a result, Frenzberg, which originally had only 12,000 main forces, swelled to 27,000 troops overnight.

However, Frenzberg also knows that although the force has more than doubled, the newly recruited mercenaries have not yet cooperated with their soldiers and have not experienced regular training.

So, even with so many soldiers and horses, he never thought of counterattack, but planned to continue to defend. After these surrenders cooperated with the original veterans, they attempted to formally fight back.

In addition, in order to save food, Frenzberg also ruthlessly drove away the nearly 40,000 princely coalition soldiers who were previously captured and rushed to the direction of Basel. The coalition of princes is now shrinking and licking wounds in Basel, and Franzberg does not intend to make them feel better. It is not a good thing that the nearly 40,000 people are returned to them. Because these nearly 40,000 people are strong and have no fighting power. Returning it to the coalition forces will only increase the food consumption of the coalition forces. After all, it was nearly 40,000 mouths. And the coalition of princes lost most of the grain and grass, and then let these people go back to eat together, the coalition of princes would not be able to bear themselves ...

This trick was also mentioned by Marin. Before the army in the ancient East attacked the city, it deliberately drove many local people into the city. In this way, the food consumption in the city has greatly increased. As long as the siege is longer, and more people are driven into the city, food consumption will increase greatly. When the food in the city ran out, it could only fall without a fight.

As for those mercenaries who refused to surrender themselves, and those conscripts who were captured, Frensberg did not let them go back. Because these people go back to enhance the fighting power of the coalition princes.

Therefore, Frenzberg left all these people as a drudgery ...

……

After, Frenzberg divided the army into two-he personally rushed back to Lucerne with 15,000 people and part of the grain and grass, and continued to guard against the French army. The remaining 12,000 troops, holding another 3,000 mercenary prisoners and 9,000 conscripts, took the grain and most of the gold and silver to Aarau in the southeast ~ www.novelhall.com ~ where Al The capital city of Gaozhou is more conducive to defense.

In addition, Arau is the gateway to Habsburg family ancestral eagle fort. Guarding Aarau will prevent the enemy from invading Habsburg family ancestral eagle fort.

Eagle Fort is not an important town, and has no strategic value in the eyes of outsiders. However, if Hawkburg is lost, members of the Habsburg family will definitely find themselves in trouble. These people may not be able to help Frenzberg, but the thing that is bad for him is high skill. Therefore, Eagle Fort is easy to lose.

Also, as a northern pass, Arau can also prevent the French army or the coalition of princes from going around to Lucerne from here. Lucerne is the southern town of the central valley of Switzerland, and Aarau is the northern town of the central valley. Controlling the two important towns in the north and south, the French and the coalition forces did not dare to easily go east. Otherwise, there is a huge risk of being cut back ...

Moreover, the echo of the two towns from north to south can also make the French and the princely coalition forces fearful. Earlier, Frenzberg dared not divide troops because of insufficient troops. Now, there are enough troops, and there are completely conditional division of troops. There are tens of thousands of troops guarding the city, even if the enemy army has double the number of soldiers and horses, it has to be desperate. Because, with tens of thousands of troops, it is absolutely possible to fill the wall of the small city, so that the enemy has no chance to drill ...

Plus, Franzberg seized a large amount of food from the coalition of princes this time, without worrying about not eating, and can persist for a long time, not afraid that the French and the coalition princes have long been under siege ...
