Chapter 1578： Fierce battle in the city (Part 1)

Early in the morning, Gonzalo de Córdoba could not take a rest, and directed the scene directly, directing the soldiers to put various obstacles on the street. At the same time, obstacles were set up in the alleys where the soldiers were ambushing.

However, in order to prevent the enemy from seeing the problem, the obstacles on the street should be set up reasonably, and cannot give people the feeling of being an obstacle at a glance.

After all, he wanted to put all the enemy troops into the city to beat. If the enemy's first troops entered the city and saw that it was wrong, the enemies behind would definitely not enter the city innocently.

Thinking about it, or practicing the musketeer ambushing the roof, Alba gave advice:

"Sir, you can hide all the obstacles on the roof first. When the enemy's big army enters the city, you send a signal, and then we will throw the obstacle off the roof. At the same time, it can hurt the enemy!"

The area of ​​Morocco is relatively dry and there is little precipitation. Therefore, the houses here are mostly flat-roofed, not sloping roofs. Only exquisite buildings such as mosques have rounded spires. Most of the houses of ordinary people are flat-roofed houses, which are very suitable for musketeers and some infantry ambushes. It is also more convenient to throw obstacles off the roof.

Gonzalo de Córdoba adopted this suggestion. On the South Avenue, no obstacles were set, but the obstacles were hidden on the roof of the ambush. Just wait for an order and throw them all. Go on the street.

However, the invisible alleys and the streets leading from the central mosque to the other three gates still have strong roadblocks. Because Gonzalo de Cordova was also afraid that his army would suddenly collapse. At that time, let the enemy's cavalry rush, and that would be slaughtered.

Moreover, the other three gates were guarded by Italian mercenaries, and Gonzalo did not trust them. If the fierce Moroccan cavalry rushed over, those Italian mercenaries might be scared.

Therefore, he blocked the road leading to the other three gates. In this way, even if the enemy rushed into the center of the city, because the remaining roads were blocked, they could only be shut down and beaten.

Even if the enemy dismounted and walked into the alley, he was not afraid. Without the horse's scimitar cavalry, in front of a few spearmen, only the abused. Gonzalo de Córdoba is not worried about the enemy's stubborn resistance, only that they are riding far away. In this way, his men and women cannot catch up with the enemy. If the enemy stays in the city, sooner or later he will be found out and killed by his men.

In addition, arranging musketeers on the roof is a successful case that Marin has repeatedly used in street fighting. According to Marin's experience, the musketeers ambushing on the roof, because of the good perspective, it is easy to find the "brother general" among the enemies. As long as you see it, just give a shot.

Moreover, Marin once said a lack of virtue. That is-when the enemy's cavalry enters the ambush street, the musketeer on the roof does not shoot the enemy, but specifically shoots the enemy's horse butt. And after being shot in the buttocks of the war horse, it is easy to be frightened and mad, and then scream ...

At that time, the rampage of the horse will become the enemy's spur ...

Of course, it is not necessary to use a musket, but a crossbow can also be used. For example, Gonzalo de Cordoba borrowed 500 crossbows from Italian mercenaries, which were used exclusively to shoot the enemy PP. Regardless of whether it is a gun in the **** or an arrow, it is certain that the horse will be hurt and frightened. Crazy horses, but even friendly forces also hit. Once this happens, the enemy formation will be in chaos ...

At the beginning, Marin spent an afternoon discussing with Gonzalo de Córdoba such lascivious scenes in the city. Unexpectedly, now Gonzalo de Cordova is actually used ...

...

In addition to these frivolous arrangements, Gonzalo de Cordoba also ordered the soldiers to conduct street fighting exercises on the street, so that the soldiers would not be able to adapt to this style of play.

After the exercise, Gonzalo de Cordova discovered that if there were horses running on the street after the **** was shot, it would be better not to stand on the street. Otherwise, it is easy to be trampled to death ...

Therefore, in this ambush battle, it is best for the ambush to poke the spear from the alley on the side of the street. Just make sure that the enemy is trapped on the street.

Also, the enemy must never be allowed to break through obstacles and go to the other three gates. At the same time, the South Gate must be blocked at a critical moment to prevent the enemy from withdrawing ...

...

On this day, the wind and waves were gone, and the enemy did not come. This is no wonder, after all, the enemy is far away, even if the horse is whip, it will take two or three days to arrive. After all, horseback riding can only drive one or two hundred miles a day, not as fast as a car.

Taking advantage of this time slot, Gonzalo de Cordoba and Spanish soldiers worked hard to practice street fighting to improve the level and adaptability of street fighting.

Three days later, the 20,000-strong coalition of the Vatas dynasty and Saad tribe finally arrived ...

They dared to come after they received the news that Gonzalo de Cordova had left with 10,000 horses. After all, Gonzalo de Cordoba was too famous. With him, the two dare not mess up. According to information, Gonzalo not only left this time, but also took away 10,000 main forces, which is equivalent to weakening the guard force of the city.

Moreover, Gonzalo de Cordova also deliberately released news that he left a lot of food and various supplies in Fez, including many armor ...

For the remnants of the Vatas dynasty and the Saad tribe who have lost their ruling power, food supplies and weapon armor are exactly what they need most, even more important than gold and silver. Because they can grab gold and silver, and a large number of food supplies and weapon armor is what they are most scarce and most difficult to obtain.

Therefore, this time, in order to ensure the capture of the old capital of Fez, the last Sultan of the Watas dynasty, Abu Abdullah Burtukali Ibn Mohammed, invited the Saad tribe , To attack Fes City together, to fight for the Spanish to stay in Fes City a lot of food supplies and weapon armor ...

When they arrived outside Fez, the leaders of the two armies were surprised to find that the south gate of Fez was actually open ...

How can they let go of such a good opportunity? So, with a single order, twenty thousand scimitar cavalry rushed into the city of Fes from the south gate with a very fast speed ...

Seeing all the way unimpeded, the leader of the Moroccan cavalry showed joy. But when the army passed the mosque in the center of the city and launched shocks at the other three gates, they were shocked to find that-it seemed that the street was blocked by many debris ...

The commanders in the other two directions did not perceive the danger, only Aziz, the Cavalry officer of the Vatas dynasty rushing to the north gate, found something wrong. So he yelled and reminded allies behind him to watch out for danger ...

Obviously, Gonzalo de Cordoba on the top of the tall building in the distance also heard his shouts. Knowing Arabic, he changed his face and immediately pulled the trigger of the matchlock as a signal gun ...

Hearing the signal, the Spanish soldiers who had been lying on the gate of the South Gate immediately pushed down the old high pile of stones that had long been on the inside of the gate. Then, the stone hit like a raindrop and instantly blocked the way out of the south gate. By the way, dozens of Moroccan cavalry stuck inside the door ...

"Enemies!"

"Enemies!"

The attacked Moroccan cavalry screamed nervously ~ www.novelhall.com ~ but they were greeted by more stones like raindrops.

The Moroccan cavalry tried to dismount, and then climbed up the stairs to the south gate gate to eliminate the stone-throwing enemy. But when they got to the stairs, they were dumbfounded. The Spaniards had expected this trick. They blocked the stairs of the city gate in advance ...

In this way, only the Spaniards on the city gates smashed their share, they could not fight back ...

As more bricks and debris were thrown away, Nancheng Gate was suddenly blocked from leaving. And when a lot of Moroccan cavalry tried to dismount the horse to clean up the debris, a lot of musketeers and crossbowmen suddenly appeared on the roofs on both sides of the street ...

Then, the Moroccan soldiers who tried to get close to the city gate were beaten into sieves. At the same time, the Spanish musketeers and crossbowmen who came out of their heads, while shooting the enemies trying to approach the city gate, arrogantly pointed the muzzle and arrow at the **** of the Moroccan warhorse ...
