Soon, the first French peasants were replaced by Gonzalo. Morality. Córdoba has been training hard for a few days and is already in decent formation. The main thing is - if you don't line up, you will be whipped by the Spaniards......

At the same time, they also put on the gray shovel vest that marked the Spanish army – this is also Gonzalo. Morality. Córdoba learned it from Marin.

In Europe at present, the monarchs of various countries are very poor, and there is simply no money to distribute uniform uniforms to all soldiers. Therefore, the soldiers of the army now wear a variety of clothes and look incongruous.

Gonzalo. Morality. When Córdoba went to the North Sea Country to learn phalanx tactics from Marin, he was very envious when he saw the black cross vest on a white background worn by the North Sea State army. Because, this can greatly improve the neatness of the military appearance, and it looks very deterrent. Moreover, a woolen cloth vest made of inferior wool has little money. What's more, Spain is a big wool producer.

So, after returning home, Gonzalo. Morality. Córdoba also recommended that the Spanish army be issued with uniform vests. In the beginning, the two Spanish kings actually preferred to dye their waistcoats red and yellow (the flags of the Kingdom of Castile and Aragon were both red and yellow, and later Spanish flags were also dominated by these two colors), using a yellow cross on a red background, or a red cross on a yellow background. In this way, it looks very beautiful and expresses Spain's devotion to Catholicism.

However, the Spanish ministers calculated and found out that the red and yellow dyes of this era were really expensive! The cost of dyes used to dye vests is enough to buy several low-quality wool vests......

So, in the end, the Spaniards abandoned the plan to dye the waistcoat. But in order to distinguish it from the Beihai State vest, they specially selected gray wool that was not popular in the market and spun it into a gray vest. Then, with the blood of cattle and sheep, a cross was drawn on a gray cloth waistcoat. When the animal's blood dried, it took on the shape of a red and black cross. Then simply soak it in lime water to remove the perishable components in the blood and disinfect it, and a low-cost red and black cross vest with a gray background is made......

This vest is very low-cost, easy to make and mass-produced, therefore, it is very popular with the munitions department. Anyway, the Spaniards don't eat animal blood, they all let it go in vain.

Therefore, most of the Spanish soldiers now wear a red and black cross vest on a gray background over their clothes, and they look very neat.

And these days, Gonzalo. Morality. While Córdoba had the officers harshly train the French peasants, the local Neapolitan women cut and made the waistcoats out of low-quality woolen cloth and put them on to make them look like Spanish soldiers......

……

Sure enough, on the first day of the attack, the French did not know that it was their own farmer, and thought it was Spanish soldiers, so they opened fire fiercely, killing thousands of "Spanish soldiers" in one go.

Louis XII smiled and said to his generals:

"Haha, it seems that this kind of agitation method really works!"

But in the afternoon, some of the French soldiers defending the city felt that something was wrong:

"Why are they in French when they are shot and crying?"

As a result, some of the French soldiers defending the city asked in a loud voice in French to the French peasants who were climbing the siege ladder:

"Who are you?"

At first, many French peasants did not dare to speak up, because the Spanish officers who had trained and tortured them strictly forbade them to speak up, and if they did, they would be beaten violently. Therefore, these peasants climbed the siege ladder for most of the day, and the French did not realize the problem.

At this time, when they heard the inquiries of their own soldiers, most of them did not dare to answer because they were afraid. But there were brave men who rushed forward on the ladder and shouted in French:

"Let me go, sir, for the Spaniards are forcing us to climb the walls with their swords. I don't want to die! ”

One took the lead, and the other French peasants pleaded:

"Yes, sir, let us go. We've spoken, and we'll be killed by the Spaniards when we go back! ”

The French officer defending the city was taken aback, then thought about it and made up his mind:

"I'll let you up, but first you have to throw away your shields and weapons! Then come up and get checked first! ”

In fact, the so-called "shields and weapons" are nothing more than the shape of shields that the Spaniards sawn out of broken doors. Even the "weapon" is a wooden sword, smeared with something gray, and it looks like a real sword from a distance...... It can be said that this time let the French peasants be cannon fodder, and the Spaniards are still more professional. Unlike last time, when the French forced local peasants to storm the city wall, they only gave them broken doors, no processing, no fake wooden swords, and no red and black cross vests on a gray background, so you can see that they are local farmers at a glance......

But sooner or later, the diorama will be dismantled, and with the opening of the brave French farmer, the idea of using the French peasant to consume the other party's bullets goes bankrupt......

"General, are we still driving those French peasants to storm the walls?" The subordinate asked.

Gonzalo. Morality. Córdoba waved his hand indifferently and said:

"Naturally, arrange people to continue to rush to the city!"

"Then arrange for Italian mercenaries to rush with them in disguise as French peasants?" The subordinate continued to ask. It seems that this is also an important means for the French to take the city of Naples.

However, Gonzalo. Morality. Córdoba shook his head and said:

"Don't use this trick, it's useless. After all, this was first 'invented' by the French. If you use this trick on them, it won't work......"

Sure enough, the French officers used the method of "throwing away their weapons and being inspected" to avoid the possibility of enemy spies hiding in the ranks of the peasants.

The next day, most of the French peasants who rushed to the city were released by the French defenders. And the Italian mercenaries who tried to blend in with it, when they were examined, were exposed, arrested or killed......

……

"Do you continue to let the French farmers rush?" The adjutant asked Gonzalo. Morality. Cordoba.

Gonzalo. Morality. Córdoba thought for a moment and ordered:

"Keep letting the Italian mercenaries escort them to the city!"

"Why? General, after these French peasants were taken into the city by the French, they could easily become the helpers of the French army, making it more difficult for us to attack the city......" The adjutant did not understand.

Gonzalo. Morality. Córdoba smiled and said:

"Francis, think long! In a short period of time, those French peasants rushed to the city, which could indeed bring help to the French army. But we kept bringing the peasants from the south of France and letting them rush up to the city, you know what that means. ”

The adjutant named Francis shook his head and said he didn't understand......

Gonzalo. Morality. Córdoba exhaled and explained:

"No matter how well prepared the French are, food is limited. In order to save food, the French drove all the Neapolitans out of the city. If we keep letting the peasants into the city, then these French peasants who rush in will also consume the food in the city...... When the French run out of food, it's hard not to surrender......"

"If so...... What if the French army didn't give food to the French peasants? Francis asked.

Gonzalo. Morality. Córdoba confidently says:

"Louis XII didn't dare, if he did, those ordinary soldiers of the French army would inevitably have the same feeling of 'rabbit death and fox sorrow'. When the time comes, the morale of the French army will be weakened......"

Francis suddenly realized:

"It turns out that your lordship is calculating the grain and grass of the French army in the city!"

Gonzalo. Morality. Córdoba nodded:

"That's right, I'm calculating the food and grass of the defenders in the city. Once the food and grass are insufficient, it will be difficult for the enemy army to keep ...... mess."

"High ...... It's really ......."
