Chapter 7: Where is the ambush?

Marin was in a good mood, but the news brought back by Sauer who went out for investigation made him instantly depressed ...
It turned out that Sauer quickly detected Harlingen, where the coalition base camp was located. Harlingen was only 70 kilometers from Groningen. Sauer took 20 people and two horses. He arrived near Harlingen on the same day, and inquired that the Friesland base camp was here.
林 Marin, who had learned the news the next morning, regretted death immediately, because before that, the Friesian army was basically sent to Texel Island, and Harlingen had only a few hundred abandoned wood serfs. In addition, Haring is simply a seaside town with no city walls. If Marin knew earlier that the nine were there and took a quick march with the Swiss mercenaries, he could end Harlingen and then capture the nine bastards.
But it's too late to say anything now, because when Sauer arrived in Harlingen, Friesland had already withdrawn half of his main force. It took me a day and a half to walk there with a large army. Even if the urgent march passes, it will be exhausted and half dead, and then be put to rest.
So, that very good fighter is gone, which makes Marin so depressed that he wants to die. However, things have changed. Because, those must rush back with a large army. At that time, as long as these guys are arrested, there is no need to use force, and they can be coerced into calling the city gate and entering Groningen ...
Then, Marin began to study how to ambush the main Frisian army ...
At this time, the army of the Friesland Noble Republic, under the command of 9 members of the parliament, was still gathering and repairing in Harlingen. In the eyes of parliamentarians, the walls of Groningen are tall and strong, and they will not fail in a month or two. So, they discussed the perimeter scheme in Harlingen.
After discussion, the nine barons agreed that it was better to play steadily. Anyway, by that time, with the large troops, all the way back to the Groningen from the Roman avenue. In addition, they also decided to send a liaison officer to contact the garrison in Groningen and make an appointment for an internal and external pinch ...
But what they didn't know was that Sauer had wandered around Harlingen with 30 Hussars. The first two messengers sent out were quickly intercepted. The same is true for the second and third batches ...
After three days of repair, the Frisian army was still unable to breathe and began to march east. However, they first walked along the Roman avenue and entered Leeuwarden under the control of Baron Zittel, trimmed for another day, and arrested hundreds of serfs to serve as cannon fodder.
Uh ...
Marin, along with returning Sauer, began to survey the ambush terrain ...
After a few days of reconnaissance, Sauer learned that the Frisian army would retreat along the Roman avenue. So, leaving a large army to continue to intercept the messenger, he returned to Marin alone.
"Sauer, is there any hillside terrain that can be ambush along the way? Just like last time in Italy." Marin asked expectantly.
"No, Master, Friesland is a lowland country. There is no hillside terrain at all. Even if there are, it is a small hilly hill that cannot be hidden."
"Is there any way over there that the enemy must pass?"
"Roman Avenue! Young Master, it rained a long time ago, which caused the ground to be muddy. There seems to be a lot of swamps in Friesland. So, except for the Roman Avenue in Shizipu, it is not suitable for large places. Size march. Otherwise, the team could easily sink into the swamp. "
"Marsh ..." Marin was lost in thought ...
When Marin took the Swiss mercenary march this time, he did not travel in the Friesland area, but through the Principality of Dougs and Archbishop of Utrecht. And the province of Drenthe, south of Groningen, has more hills, and there are many places suitable for ambush.
Subsequently, Marin rode on his own, and under the protection of Schwartz and others, followed Sauer to observe the terrain ...
On the way, Marin looked around and found that Sauer was right. On this side of the Roman avenue, there are either farmland or swamps, and there are very few woods. I wanted to ambush without even covering the terrain.
I remembered that the scenes of PLA ambush were all on the hillside ...
Wait, the New Fourth Army that was active in the Soviet Union at that time seemed to be ambushing in the reeds ...
Marin thought about the ambush scenes, it seemed that there was an ambush in the roadside trench, with a wicker hat on his head ...
Thinking about it, Marin jumped into the ditch beside the road and made an ambush ...
Alas, but soon, he was depressed ...
why? Because ambush in the roadside ditch, there is no place to put the spear. Because the spears of Europe in this era were too long, and a few meters long spears were difficult to hide in the roadside ditch.
I want to know that the rifle used by the New Fourth Army is only over 1 meter in length, which is of course very convenient to hide. But a few meters long spear not only hides the trouble, it is also troublesome to take it out.
Moreover, the rifle can shoot the enemy smoothly by squatting in the pit. The spearman wants to attack the enemy, not only to raise his weapon, but also to rush to kill the enemy. But jumping up from the ambush pit itself was not stable. Then it will be connected with the enemy's short soldiers, and it is easy for the enemy to grab the first hand while they are not stable ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Therefore, the New Fourth Army in the hot weapon era can sit in ambush in the roadside ditch, but the spearman in the cold weapon era does not It is suitable for squatting in the ditch to ambush ... even in the cold weapon era, the ambush also pays attention to "being condescending" and impacts the enemy array along the terrain ...
Marlin was frustrated and didn't know what to do. Surrounding points to help, very particular about the ambush. If it is impossible to ambush the enemy, it will easily be pinched by the enemy inside and out.
经过 While passing by a small town with hundreds of people, Marin stopped to eat. The townsfolk did not know that the war had come to Friesland and still lived a quiet life.
On the second floor of the hotel, Marin asked for a window, eating and watching the scenery ...
Downstairs, a group of bear children are playing hide and seek ...
地形 This small town called Malham has a unique topography, with swamps to its south and north, and the Roman avenue passing through the middle of the town. The town is basically laid out along both sides of the Roman Boulevard. The houses in the town are basically on both sides of the Roman Boulevard. Therefore, the shape of the town is a long strip.
While Marlin was carrying the roast goose, the bear children downstairs also played very well. When the unlucky child responsible for finding others urged the child to find a companion along the street, suddenly, a naughty bear child rushed out of the side alley and yelled loudly.
It was bad luck to remind the child to be frightened, and then he cried ...
After the trance, several other bear children also appeared from the side alleys to comfort the scared and unlucky child ...
"This ..." Looking at the situation downstairs, Marin seemed to think of something, and the roasted goose in his hand accidentally fell to the ground ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Welcome the readers to visit, the latest, fastest, hottest The serial works are all at ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Please read for mobile users.
