Chapter 1577： Close up

"Master Gonzalo, what is this tactic? How does it feel less ... glorious?" Halfway down, the Spanish knight Fernando couldn't help asking. Because this approach is too "European".

Gonzalo de Cordoba sighed and said:

"You don't understand, this approach is indeed not very glorious, but it can't stand up to it! This is what I learned from the Beihai State Duke Malin. He has always been not very glorious in his work and often plays conspiracies. Win! I ’m leaving Morocco. In order to avoid the deterioration of the situation in Morocco, I have to play a conspiracy. I hope that this time I will kill the enemy in one fell swoop ... "

At the time, Gonzalo de Cordoba was ordered to go to the North Sea to learn the Marin Phalanx (Spanish Phalanx) with Marin. Because of the good relations between the two countries and the guilt of the original creator of Gonzalo de Cordova, Marin taught him very carefully. Even, when Marin was free, he gave Gonzalo de Cordova some classic oriental examples. For example, night raids, ambushes and so on, even the case of how to ambush Charles VIII himself was explained.

However, Gonzalo was still a European nobleman with a strong sense of justice, and he didn't take those seriously, and even disregarded these mean means. Therefore, later he mainly used the square tactics he learned, and various brighter tactics, and rarely used those conspiracies.

But after more than ten years of fighting, Gonzalo de Cordova discovered that the conspiracy and tricks of Marin, although unsavory, could not be used easily! Not to mention, Charles VIII, the king of France, with eight or nine thousand French knights, was easily solved by Marin with one or two thousand people. This income ratio is simply incredible.

Originally, Gonzalo de Cordoba did not intend to use those conspiracies. But he knew that after he was transferred to Italy this time, it was unlikely that he would return to Morocco for a long time. And if he left, it would be good to be able to defend several major cities at the level of Italian mercenaries stationed there. As for the vast rural areas, the Moroccan Cavalry Cavaliers must be allowed to do whatever they want ...

Therefore, before leaving, he must find ways to give the Moroccan resistance a ruthless one, and it is best to kill the enemy. In this way, even if he leaves, the situation in Morocco will not decay.

Exactly, because of the enemies' spies caught by his men, Gonzalo de Cordoba decided to take the opportunity to tactically deceive the Moroccans ... Well, Marin seemed to introduce the term ...

It was probably a leisure time when Marin and Gonzalo de Cordova talked about the battle of Ma Ling played by Sun Bin during the Warring States Period in China, and mentioned the allusions of "reduce the stove to lure the enemy". At that time, Marin raised a mouthful, which was called "tactical deception" ...

But Gonzalo de Córdoba did not pay much attention to it after hearing it. After all, in Europe, the use of conspiracy and conspiracy is to be despised. Even if your opponent is defeated by you, you will not accept it.

The reason why Marin was despised by the German princes, in addition to his low background and once serving for the emperor, the means was not bright and decent, which was also an important reason for his despise and rejection.

This is not the shameless 18th century. European nobles also care about face and dignity. Suddenly, such a shameless figure emerged from Marin. Although he was unscrupulous in order to win, everyone was envious of his achievements, and he also despised him as a person. This is also the main reason why Gonzalo de Cordova is afraid to learn Marin.

...

It's just that this time it's different, this time it targets Moroccan pagans. Gonzalo de Cordova believes that even if the means are not good enough, the other party cannot blame themselves. Because, both sides are not a person of the world. There is basically no sequelae to using disgraceful methods for pagans. Then Gonzalo did just that ...

In the middle of the night, Gonzalo finally returned to Fez and quietly entered the city. In the city, Ramos, the head of the new recruits, had long been waiting.

"Master, what should we do now?" Ramos asked.

"First of all, the city gates are blocked and people are not allowed to go out. At the same time, the whole city is searched, and the existence of any non-military homing pigeons is strictly prohibited, so as to avoid leakage of news ..."

At this moment, suddenly a guard came to report:

"It is reported that Chengdong found that some people have released homing pigeons all night, and people have been captured by us!"

Gonzalo de Cordova frowned and asked:

"Does the pigeon pigeon know that our troops out of town are fake?"

The reported guard shook his head and said:

"No, according to the letter tied to the legs of the second spare carrier pigeon that we got too late to fly, they thought that it was the main force to leave during the day. As for our arrests a few days ago, the secret letter said that the pagans pressed It was a cruelty of La Zimin, and it was speculated that it might be a means for us to blackmail the Fes residents ... "In Europe in this era, grabbing people for ransom was not a patent for kidnappers, and the nobles often did it. Of course, find a decent excuse first.

Gonzalo de Cordoba was relieved and said:

"It's good if you don't find it, it's good if you don't find ..."

Then he arranged again:

"The order will continue. Tomorrow, the south gate of Fez will open all day, but no residents will be allowed to leave the city. Then, the soldiers of the new legion will ambush into the houses and alleys on both sides of the street near the south gate ..."

"What? Lord, are you going to put the enemy into the city?" The commander of Ramos was surprised.

Gonzalo de Cordoba nodded and said:

"Yes, it is to put the enemy into the city! Whether it is a Berber cavalry or an Arab cavalry, relying on the advantage of coming and going, let us take them."

"This time, I intend to take the initiative to put them into the city. The cavalry has lost the speed advantage on the plain, it is better than the infantry!"

"But what if our soldiers can't beat the enemy? You know, our soldiers are all recruits, only the 1500 musketeers are veterans ..." Ramos said hesitantly.

Gonzalo de Cordoba nodded and said:

"I know, so I chose the main street of South Gate as the main battlefield! There are many buildings on the side of the street. I let the 1500 musketeers ambush on the top of the building. Once they hit, they will aim from the top of the building. The enemies on the street shoot. Whoever has the strongest fighting power will focus on killing them. 1500 muskets are enough to hit the enemy in chaos. Then ~ www.novelhall.com ~ Our people will take the opportunity to rush out of the alley and they will definitely be able to fight The opponent was caught off guard. Although the soldiers of the legion were all recruits, they were all selected by competition, and they were much stronger than the general soldiers recruited. They used spears, and as long as they gathered together, the Arab cavalry who used scimitars still fought. But theirs. Remember, the spearmen must be close together during the battle and greet the enemy with the densest spears! "

"Yes, understand!" Ramos said seriously.

Gonzalo de Cordoba thought about it and added:

"Also, remember to put more obstacles on the road. In this way, the enemy's cavalry will not be able to rush on the street. The cavalry has no speed, facing the spearman only to be stabbed ..."

"Okay, I'll arrange it. By the way, sir, what tactic is this?" Ramos asked curiously.

"Close the door and beat the dog!" Gonzalo thought for a moment.

In fact, he wanted to say "catch the turtle in the urn". Marin once said that, but he hasn't seen the urn like it, and hasn't seen the turtle (there is no such thing in Europe), so he used Marin's explanation when "catch the turtle in the urn". "Close the door and beat the dog" instead ...
