King of Mercenaries Chapter 39

Published at 14th of June 2023 05:30:33 AM

Marlin is an ambitious person, unlike Count Alfred, who is clearly a messy guy. To achieve his ambitions, Marin must have demonstrated outstanding performance in the war.

So, from the moment he arrived in Italy, Marin was planning everything. In fact, Marin knows the course of the war in history and can also propose some targeted solutions.

However, Marin did nothing and did not show himself in front of the commander. Because he was afraid of his involvement, which led to changes in the course of the war. In that case, his prophets would be useless.

Therefore, Marin kept saying nothing, depending on the enthusiastic discussions and quarrels among the league's princes. Seeing these vassals, Marin suddenly remembered the plot of the 18th Route vassals against Dong Zhuo ...

The scene in front of him is similar to the anti-Dong Zhuo of the 18th princes. The same many "heroes" gathered together, the same spirit, the same anti-Dong (Fa) failure ... even, Charles VIII and Dong Zhuo ran straight without any problems Off ...

Every time when an officer meeting is held, Marin, as the lowest-ranking pragmatist who participates in the meeting, sits in a corner and travels far away, saying nothing. Count Alfred did not know what was going on, and he had no desire to express himself. Even if the Venetians and Mandova pretended to be there, he sat silently playing soy sauce ...

Marin seems to think that he is at the Milan fashion show, a group of Italians are pretending to be a show there ... And, their Italian, Marin can't understand. Marin only knows German, English, Latin, and Frisian (close to English, taught by Mrs. Mary), but for Italian, she knows seven things ... don't see that both Latin and Italian come from Italy , But the two belong to two dialects with very different ages and are difficult to communicate with each other. Therefore, Marin could only watch the group of Italians silently bragging with Italian dialects, just like watching Hong Kong people in Cantonese dialogues in movies, he couldn't understand it ...

Marin didn't bother to listen to the Italians bragging, but recalled the specific episode of the battle of Fornovo, the only joint battle between the coalition and the French.

Marin remembered that during the battle, the French army had 8,000 French heavy cavalry and 4,000 Swiss spearmen. However, when Charles VIII marched before, he lost all the heavy artillery, but he was reluctant to leave the gold and silver treasures.

But Charles VIII was not an ordinary person. When he found that the French army was blocked by the 20,000 or 30,000 coalition forces, in order to prevent the enemy from relying on quantitative advantages and besieging, he resolutely scattered the gold and silver treasures on the left and right wings of the French army. Sure enough, when attracting 6,000 coalition cavalry soldiers, he saw the gold and silver treasures on the ground, and did not want to pinch the French army, but dismounted to pick up the gold and silver treasures. Then, the coalition pinch plan failed, and the French army escaped the failure.

林 Marin does not care about the problem of gold and silver treasures. He was a mercenary for the title, not for money. Besides, in terms of making money, is he afraid that he has no idea?

Therefore, Marin secretly decided that he must make great achievements in this battle, so that he can change the title with the emperor ...

According to memory, during the battle, the Swiss blocked the impact of the Venice infantry, while the light cavalry of Milan and Mandowa were busy picking treasure. However, Charles VIII was unwilling to fight with the coalition forces, so he left the 4,000 Swiss Lancer Hall on the night of July 6 and fled with the 8,000 French cavalry overnight.

Moreover, Marin recalled that it seemed that it had just rained that afternoon and the road must not have been easy. If Charles VIII was to run late at night, he must not take the path. Because, his heavy cavalry is not suitable for walking.

Well, Marin can be sure that Charles VIII's heavy cavalry group must have fled along the road that night. At night, everyone couldn't see clearly. Marin estimated in his heart whether he could find fish in the muddy waters and even stop the French cavalry group ...

反复 After repeated speculation, Marin felt that he seemed to be able to stop the French Cavalry Group ...

At the moment, Marin also has 1100 soldiers in his hand, although it is not comparable to the French 8,000 cavalry and cannot attack it. However, it is still barely possible to hold the intersection and block the pace of French retreat.

The most important thing is that the French lost all their artillery. Without artillery, cavalry could not break through the spear array. In addition, I will also arrange double trenches and pointed stakes, which can completely block the French army.

Of course, it is impossible for these 1,100 people to destroy the French army. Therefore, while blocking the French army, he had to ask the coalition for help. If the coalition forces could send troops to attack, the French wouldn't have failed.

For this reason, when Marin was training, he started training night battles, and added a lot of subjects against heavy cavalry ...

For example, heavy cavalry are all plate armor, it is difficult to kill them with a spear. If the French heavy cavalry gave up the war horse and dismounted, the spearmen would be a little troublesome.

So, Marin thought about it, and selected 100 Hercules in the square, and under the leadership of Kahn, they formed the "Warhammer Team". The plate armor is thicker, UU reads www. uukanshu.com is also afraid of the hammer. After all, the shock power of the hammer can completely stun and hurt the heavy knight. If you hit your head, you can even kill yourself with a hammer.

To this end, Marin bought a batch of blacksmith hammers, replaced them with longer wooden handles, and let the "Warhammer Team" start training. In addition, Marin also selected a group of people with good oral skills for the situation that was unclear at night, and let them simulate the sound of thousands of horses to scare the French.

It is indeed dangerous to use 1100 people to stop 8000 French "iron golems". If the French know their own details, they will not kill themselves? Therefore, in other directions, it is also a good way to pretend to be thousands of troops and scare the French.

A few days ago, Marin personally hosted the night war training. But a few days later, Marin gave Schwartz night training. He himself, with Sauer and Kahn, went to Fornovo to conduct field trips and map the local topography.

After a while, Marin returned to Venice with a thick stack of parchment. On these parchments, all the topographic maps of Fornovo drawn by Marin himself were drawn with contour lines.

In the days that followed, Marin trained soldiers every night at night, went to bed in the morning, studied maps in the afternoon, and thought about battle plans ...

What the unlucky Charles VIII didn't know was that he hadn't evacuated from Naples yet, and someone in Venice had started to count him. What's more, the most fundamental 8000 heavy cavalry of France was calculated.

You know, these heavy cavalry are all French armed forces, not the Swiss mercenaries who "when they give money to their lives." If these heavy cavalry are damaged, France will definitely be greatly injured.
