The Rise of the European Emperor

Chapter 445: A big game of chess

After adopting Kahn's plan, Marin quietly sent someone to take a detour on horseback in the middle of the night and rushed to Hamburg, where he secretly discussed this time with the Chancellor of Hamburg.

Heisenberg was very excited when he received Marin's secret letter. Because, Marin told him in his heart - there are more than 10,000 reinforcements coming from the north. If Hamburg can create a fake "army" of 10,000, it will firmly attract the attention of the Bursa coalition. At that time, the real reinforcements will launch a surprise attack on the Bursa coalition, and the Quartet will really be able to defeat the incomparably powerful Bursa coalition...

Originally, most people, whether it was Lübeck or Hamburg, were pessimistic about this war. Because the other party is too powerful. Of the 50,000 main battle troops, not only were there 20,000 Swiss mercenaries who were famous and powerful in Europe, but the remaining 30,000 were also veterans of Brandenburg and Saxony. In the face of such a strong lineup, even the French may not be able to fight, let alone Marin's army in the Quartet Alliance.

But the problem is, Marin only has 20,000 main battle troops to pull out. The remaining 20,000 people need to guard the mainland and the Duchy of Schleswig. The Principality of Schleswig, in particular, is likely to face the attack of the Danish army and will not be able to escape at all.

In the letter, Marin told Heisenberg that his homeland was actually guarded by conscripts, and the flags played were deceptive. The real main force is quietly rushing to Hamburg on the way. The boat I borrowed before was to pull these people.

Heisenberg's military literacy is a little higher than that of Tagfacht. He thought about it carefully and found that if Hamburg can make up a fake army of 10,000 to attract the Bossa coalition, then the more than 10,000 coalition forces in Marin will quietly move to the area. Attacking the enemy is not to say that it can defeat the enemy, but at least it can repel the enemy, bringing a turning point for both Lübeck and Hamburg. At least, after being attacked, the enemy must suffer a lot, and it may not be stronger than Marin's army. In this way, Heisenberg's heart is full of hope, not as pessimistic as before.

However, in the secret letter, Marin asked President Heisenberg not to start recruiting the fake army of 10,000 for the time being, but to do some preliminary preparations. Because, Marin is playing a big game...

This game of chess is very grand, and Hamburg's plan is just one of them. Marin plans to send the 20,000 troops in Lübeck, the 8,000 fake reinforcements in the north, the 18,000 reinforcements waiting to be loaded on the southwest coast of the Principality of Schleswig, as well as the 50,000 troops and 30,000 troops of the Allied Forces of Boza. Min-fu, it's all figured out...

The specific method is - Marin decided to challenge the Bursa coalition head-on, and set up a battle on the flat ground on the west bank of the Travo River in Lübeck City, and fought the Bursa coalition head-on...

Marin was not worried that Frederick III and Joachim I would disagree, because they were eager to have a field battle with themselves.

However, Marin's real intention was not to fight with the Bosa coalition, but to form a defensive formation to temporarily withstand the opponent's impact.

His real killer move,

It was still the 18,000 reinforcements led by Woolf Esbrand and Saqqara. Once Marin had withstood the attack of the Bosa coalition on the frontal battlefield, when their morale declined, it was time for 18,000 reinforcements to attack them.

Marin remembered that in the previous life's Chinese textbook "Cao Gu's Debate" said that one hit, and then the decline, and the third was exhausted...

As long as the 20,000 main force led by Marin personally formed a Spanish phalanx to withstand the "three-axes" in the early days of the Bursa coalition, the opponent's morale would definitely drop.

Then, Marin will take the army and fight them for a day...

At night, whether it is the other party or the 20,000 army of our side, they will be exhausted. Even in preparation for a night attack, the Bursa coalition must have sent scouts to monitor the positions of the 20,000 troops led by Marin, without worrying about the rear.

Because, Marin will deliberately let Frederick III and Joachim I know that the 10,000-strong army in Hamburg is used to scare people...

As long as they know this, the Bossa coalition will not pay attention to the danger to the west. Because they couldn't believe that the 10,000-strong mob army in Hamburg would dare to take the initiative to attack. Then, their attention will also be drawn to the southwest.

At the same time, within the specified time, the main force in the north, disguised as a 10,000-strong army, will also seize the time to arrive near the northern theater, set up camp, and attract the attention of the Bosa coalition forces.

At that time, the 50,000 people of the Bossa coalition may be forced to arrange tens of thousands of people to go north to intercept them. Even if the other party knew that the "10,000 army" had "5,000 recruits", for the sake of safety, they would definitely send tens of thousands of troops to intercept them.

At this time, only about 40,000 people remained in the Bosa coalition on the frontal battlefield. If the 18,000 coalition forces launched a night attack, Marin would definitely bring the 20,000 main force to attack the enemy camp together.

There are 38,000 troops attacking the enemy's camp of 40,000 troops, even if the opponent is prepared, it may not be useful. Because, Marin's army, all know how to quickly intersperse the tactics of encirclement, and have done many drills.

As long as the 38,000-strong army on his side surrounds the opponent's 40,000 people in style, no matter how strong the enemy is, it will be difficult to turn the tide. As for the tens of thousands of troops who went to the north to "intercept 10,000 enemy troops", they may not dare to let the "10,000 troops" easily return to aid. Even if they return to help, Marin is confident that he can stop them...

Moreover, when the time comes, Marin will arrange for more than 10,000 strong civilians in the north, disguised as "10,000 reinforcements", to set up camps across the river near the battlefield, and confront the troops sent by the enemy to contain them. After the battle in the enemy's main camp, the tens of thousands of people who are strong will have to make a noise in the middle of the night to create a momentum to frighten the tens of thousands of enemy troops who come to intercept them, so as to prevent them from retreating to the reinforcement camp. Unless, the other party can safely watch the enemy army trail behind them...

In the case of not knowing the real details of these thousands of people, forgive them and dare not withdraw their troops easily...

At that time, with the musket team, he will enter the main account of the Bursa coalition, and capture Frederick III and Joachim I, and the battle will be over.

Of course, the point of this game of chess is to let Frederick III and Joachim I know the "fact" that "Hamburg is about to recruit 10,000 troops from the private sector and intend to use it to deceive the Bursa coalition"...

In this way, the scouts sent by the Bursa coalition to the southwest will certainly attract most of the scouts sent by the Bursa coalition to the vicinity of Hamburg with the large-scale public recruitment in Hamburg.

After the scouts were all attracted to the city of Hamburg to pay attention to the recruitment news, the army of Woolf Esbrand and Saqqara successfully landed from the riverside area north of Hamburg, and then turned in overnight and attacked Bo. The rear of the Allied Forces...

Because Hamburg's newly recruited 10,000 miscellaneous army will make the Bursa coalition give up its vigilance. After all, it was a super motley army made up of civilians who didn't understand war at all, and it had no combat effectiveness at all.

Therefore, after "learning" that there was only a 10,000 newly formed motley army in the west of Hamburg, the arrogant Frederick III and Joachim I would relax their defenses against the Western Front and concentrate on dealing with the troops in Lübeck City. Marin and his 20,000-strong army, who are going to fight their main force in a decisive battle...

When they relaxed their vigilance against the west, the army of Woolf Esbrand and Saqqara just arrived and launched a night attack. In an unsuspecting situation, do not believe that they are undefeated...
