Then, the officers on the colonel's field returned to the camp and prepared to go out in formation. The area of the large campus is limited, and it is impossible for 15,000 people to come, so only some of them come. Therefore, when the army goes out, it needs to prepare again.

In addition, it was just evening, and the tsunami just now must have alarmed the French. Therefore, Frentzberg prepared to quietly lead his troops out of the city at 12 o'clock in the middle of the night......

Seeing that the people were almost gone, Frentzberg hurriedly gave his cronies a look and said:

"Come on, quickly carry this platform for worshipping the gods and these gold coins into the command room and lock them up! Be careful, it's a miracle! ”

Several cronies understood, immediately went to the stage and carefully carried the stage back to the command room. After entering the command room, taking advantage of the fact that there was no one, they quietly replaced the gold coins that were glued together with large avatars on both sides with normal gold coins, also face up, in the same position...... In this way, you are not afraid of revealing your stuffing when you come back from the expedition......

Ancient Europe is different from ancient China, during the Song Dynasty in China, Confucianism was in power, and it was "the son is silent, the strange power is chaotic". Di Qing played this hand, although he was found to be cheating afterwards, but it was no problem, but it became a good story.

However, this was not the case in ancient Europe. Because Frenzberg deceived everyone in the name of God and Jesus. If it is discovered afterwards, a charge of "blasphemy" will not escape. No matter how much credit you make, it will be over.

So, when Frentzberg asked his cronies to replace all the gold coins with normal ones, and destroyed the previous batch of problematic gold coins. even, he left two cronies to kill the so-called "Master William......

After arranging this, Frenzberg breathed a sigh of relief and quietly left the city with the army in the middle of the night......

……

Before leaving, Shaqirika, the leader of the East Swiss militia who was in charge of staying in Lucerne, approached Frenzberg with a bitter face:

"My lord, with the more than 4,000 eastern Swiss mountain people under my command alone, I am afraid that I will not be able to stop the army of the French!"

Frenzberg comforted:

"It's okay, I didn't expect you to stop ......"

Shaqirika choked on - what is this called? Although this is true, is it really good to say it at this time?

Frenzberg went on to say:

"Your task is to pretend to be us for the next few days. I have left you enough uniforms for you to wear and hang around the walls as long as you want. In addition, there are more double-headed eagle flags on the city walls! This is also the "suspicious tactic" that Marin once taught him.

In addition, the "uniforms" of the army under Frenzberg were also learned from Marin's army. However, the North Sea Army wore white vests with black crosses painted on them, and the soldiers under the command of Frenzberg also wore white vests, but the double-headed eagles of the Habsburgs were depicted on them. Of course, this is not a painting, but a large engraving print. After all, double-headed eagles are difficult to draw, not as easy to draw by hand as the Black Cross.

And after wearing a white vest emblazoned with a Habsburg double-headed eagle, the military appearance of the "Swiss Legion" of the Habsburg family in Frenzberg looked much neater. Moreover, this white drawing vest, which has a very low cost, is made of inferior woolen cloth woven from inferior coarse wool. The vest making process is also simple, so there is no cost. Of course, the fighters in the front row are also issued cuirasses and helmets, which cost a relatively high amount......

Still uneasy, Shaqirica asked:

"What if the French see through it and come to attack the city? We're sure we can't stop it......"

Frenzberg lowered his head and pondered for a while, then said:

"If the French do come to attack, you will hold out for 5 days. After 5 days, I will allow you to surrender without accountability! ”

"Good!" With Frenzberg's promise, Shaqirica was relieved.

And Frentsberg, after giving a clear explanation, led a large army and took advantage of the night to march to the northern mountains......

……

However, many soldiers wore the half-length sapper shovels that were commonly equipped with soldiers in the Beihai Kingdom......

During the march, Wrenzberg sent men to Basel on horseback, informed the general of the Basel garrison, Burki, and ordered him to hold out for two days, and then retreat from the south gate with the family of Christoph I, Count of Baden, and follow the main road to the Kostal Valley. Moreover, Frenzberg took special care of Burki - so that he did not rush to the road, but to the Kostar valley in a hurry......

This is because Frenzberg expected that in order to make a reasonable advance into Switzerland, the coalition of princes would not be in a hurry to catch up with the family of Christopher I, Count of Baden, but would chase unhurriedly, like a cat teasing a mouse. Only when they got close to Lucerne, and Christopher I was useless, would they seriously chase after him, catch Christopher I's family, or simply let them go. After all, their real target was the Habsburg army in Lucerne, not Christopher I......

……

When the messenger from Frenzberg arrived in Basel, Christopher I's family had just fled into Basel. The Basel defender Burki had only 2,000 troops in his hands, and in the face of 60,000 princes' coalition troops, he was so frightened that he almost peed his pants.

However, in his letter, Frenzberg told him that the coalition of princes would not really attack desperately, but would only force them to flee......

Sure enough, the coalition of princes who came with the family of Christopher I, Count of Baden, did not rush to attack the city after arriving at the city of Basel, but built camps in the east, north and west directions of Basel, leaving no troops stationed in the south......

"The Legion Commander is really like a god!" Burki finally settled down and began to arm. After all, Frenzberg asked him to hold out for two days......

……

The reason why Frenzberg let Burki hold out for two days was to buy time for his army to set up an ambush. After all, there are many things to prepare for setting up ambushes on the slopes on both sides of the valley.

First of all, the roads are blocked...... That's no problem, if you throw all the cavalry out and forbid anyone to go in the direction of Basel, you can keep it secret.

Then, in order to set up an ambush, it was necessary to dig pits on the slopes of the hills on both sides so that the soldiers could hide in them. Otherwise, people would see from afar that the slopes on both sides of the Kostar valley were full of soldiers, and the fool would continue to walk......

In addition, there should be enough traps dug in front of the valley to stop the enemy from desperately advancing. At the same time, it is necessary to prepare enough stones on both sides of the hillside. Because, throwing stones down the hill hurts a lot. Even if you wear a full-body plate armor, in the face of the "boulder falling from the sky", you will either die or be injured.

Among them, round stones are the best. This is because the round stone will roll up and roll into the enemy's formation, scattering the enemy's formation and completely disintegrating its battle formation and military morale......

So, during the two days that Burki had bought in Basel, Frenzberg was used to dig pits and collect stones......

……

On the side of Burki, the coalition of princes did not lay any effort to besiege Basel, but only made a show. So, he easily held on for two days.

But on the third day, Frederick III, Elector of Saxony, got impatient and sent a deadly assault on the princes' allied forces, inflicting hundreds of casualties on Burki's defenders.

Anyway, the time had come, and Burki directly took the remnants of more than a thousand people, the family of the protector Christopher I, Count of Baden, and fled from the south gate in a hurry. In order to delay the pursuers, Christopher I, Earl of Baden, deliberately scattered a lot of silver coins on the road......

This is what he learned from the Battle of Fornovo many years ago, when the French wanted to run away and were afraid of the entanglement of the Italian light cavalry. So, Charles VIII simply ordered the shaman to be filled with gold and silver treasures on the road. Then, the light cavalry officers of the Italian coalition really dismounted and went to collect the money, forgetting to chase the French......

However, this trick was easily recognized by Frederick III, Elector of Saxony. But Frederick III did not stop the soldiers from stopping to collect money, because he was not in a hurry to catch up with Christopher I. stopped to pick up the money now, just to find a good reason for not being able to catch up with the other party......

After collecting all the money on the ground, the alliance of the princes continued to advance and pursue Christopher I and his party. In this way, the two sides chased and fled, and both walked onto the Kostar Valley Avenue and entered the ambush circle......
