According to this plan, this time the princes will gather fifty or sixty thousand troops and go to the Duchy of Lorraine to concentrate first. Then, in the name of teaching Baden a lesson, he invaded Baden, which belonged to the Swabian League. Then, head south to the southern part of Baden and Basel, Switzerland.

Their defeat of Baden was certain, and when they had defeated Baden, the coalition of princes would deliberately drive the remnants of the Count of Baden in the direction of Switzerland.

When the Count of Baden pushed into Switzerland with the remnants of his army, they would suddenly invade Switzerland in the name of "pursuing the Count of Baden" and take the Habsburgs by surprise......

And the Count of Baden belongs to the Emperor's camp, and when the time comes, the Emperor will have to come forward to protect the Count of Baden. But the alliance of princes is waiting for the emperor to make a statement. Once the emperor chooses to protect the Count of Baden, he is tantamount to an enemy of the alliance of princes. When the time came, the coalition of princes was just in time to take the Habsburg army in Switzerland......

"Sure enough, it is worthy of being 'German Little Zhuge ', this plan is impeccable...... "Frederick III was the wisest man among the German princes of this era. Therefore, in the description of the Chinese, this guy is "German Little Zhuge ", with a lot of wisdom. If it weren't for Marin's absolute superiority in military level, he would have been overshadowed by Frederick III a long time ago. In terms of unity and horizontality, Marin was not worthy of lifting Frederick III's shoes......

However, the key to the success of this scheme is that it cannot be leaked. But Bond, who was sent by Marin, happened to learn the secret, so it would be difficult for this ploy to succeed......

Of course, Marin did not intend to tell Maximilian I completely. Because, he also hopes that the two sides will fight to the death.

Today, the Habsburgs have more than 30,000 troops. Of these, 15,000 were in Switzerland, led by Frenzberg, and launched an offensive into western Switzerland. The other half of the troops were scattered in Austria and the Netherlands. If the 50,000 or 60,000 troops of the princes' alliance suddenly invaded Switzerland, the 15,000 men of E-Frenzberg would definitely not be able to stop it. Especially, in the absence of defense. Even if the quality of the army of Frentzberg was higher than that of the princes, the huge difference in numbers was difficult to overcome. Unless, all the 30,000 troops of the Habsburgs have long been prepared and waiting for the alliance of princes to come to the door.

But in this way, Marin was not happy again. This may not have the effect of weakening the Habsburgs.

But if the Habsburgs did not prepare in advance, they might be caught off guard. With 15,000 people in Frenzberg alone, plus unpreparedness, it could be a big loss......

Marin thought about it for a long time, and finally made the following arrangement-

He had 1,000 obsolete arquebuses picked out from his arsenal (the North Sea musketeers were generally reloaded with clockwork muskets), and then, equipped with a large amount of ammunition, quietly sent them to Switzerland, where they were secretly taught to Frentzberg.

At the same time, Marin intended to send someone to inform Frenzberg to strengthen the defenses of Basel. Basel is one of the largest cities in Switzerland and has strong walls. If it is equipped with another 1,000 arquebuses to defend the city, it will definitely be able to inflict heavy damage on the coalition of princes who try to attack.

Moreover, Marin would not tell Frentzberg with certainty that the coalition of princes was going to attack Switzerland, but, in an ambiguous tone, would say that it was speculation.

In this way, Frenzberg will certainly strengthen Basel's defenses, but certainly not with all its might. In this way, it will not affect the alliance of the princes to break through Basel. But a thousand arquebuses were placed there, causing huge casualties to the coalition of princes for sure. You must know that in the "Siege of Vienna" in 1529, the Austrian defenders relied on 74 arquebuses to hold the gap in the city of Vienna that was opened by the Ottoman army's artillery, and severely damaged the Turkish army. Marin sent 1,000 arquebuses, and it was certain that he would inflict heavy losses on the coalition of princes.

After this battle, even if the alliance of princes wins, it will be greatly damaged. You know, a thousand arquebuses, each gun is not just one shot. If you think about it, you can think of the huge casualties of the alliance of the princes. Moreover, the lethality of the ball lead bullet is huge, and it is either dead or crippled after being hit, which is very terrifying. Any soldier who is hit by a ball of buckshot, even if he survives, will not want to participate in the war in the future. Even, many soldiers who were shot had to saw off their arms and legs. Of course, Marin's army had plenty of alcohol and gauze, and there was no need to sawn off arms and legs at every turn. But the alliance of princes did not have that level of medical care. It is conceivable that after this battle, how many soldiers of the princes' coalition army will have their arms and legs sawed off......

……

Marin thought he had a plan, but he didn't know that the day after Bond finished reading Frederick III's initial plan, Frederick III sent someone to Paris, contacted King Louis XII of France, and invited the French army to act together. In this way, the Habsburg army of Switzerland is really in danger this time......

Louis XII was overjoyed when he received the letter from Frederick III. You know, he invested a lot in the Swiss battlefield, but he couldn't drive out the Habsburg army, which made him very irritable.

However, he did not dare to start an all-out war with Austria easily. Because, by this time, the Spanish army had completed the occupation of most of the entire territory of Morocco, and only the Sultan of the Vatas dynasty of Morocco was left. Abdullah. Burtucali. Ibn . With a few thousand remnants of cavalry, Muhammad retreated into the Atlas Mountains to fight guerrillas.

In order to consolidate his rule in Morocco, the commander-in-chief of the Spanish army, Gonzalo. Morality. Córdoba withdrew the main force of its army to the northern part of Morocco and took control in stages. In this way, Spain would not have to continue to keep all 50,000 troops in Morocco. It is said that Gonzalo. Only 20,000 troops were left in Córdoba in northern Morocco, and another 30,000 troops had returned to Spain.

Under these circumstances, Louis XII feared that a frontal attack on the Habsburg army would trigger a joint counterattack by the Habsburg army and the Spanish army. After all, the two countries are allies and have a marriage.

But it was different for Frederick III and other German princes to invite the French army together, and as before, the French did not need to show their banner and the Austrian army was just facing each other.

However, in order to cooperate with the alliance of the princes, the French could send a few thousand more soldiers and horses to change into Swiss clothes and participate in the war.

At present, in order to support the Swiss Resistance to block the Austrian army in Frenzberg, the French have secretly sent more than 7,000 elite soldiers, together with more than 6,000 Swiss resistance, to resist the offensive of Frenzberg's army.

If France sends a few thousand more soldiers and horses into the Swiss Resistance this time, then the Swiss Resistance will be able to completely contain the large army of Frentzberg in the frontal battlefield alone, and even gain the upper hand.

At this time, tens of thousands of princes' allied troops suddenly entered the Swiss region from the north, and under the attack of both sides, Frenzberg's 15,000 troops would be doomed......

As long as Frentzberg's 15,000-strong army was wiped out, the Habsburgs would lose control of Switzerland. At that time, the French and German princes will also breathe a sigh of relief. After all, no one would like to see the Habsburgs in control of such an excellent military base as Switzerland. After all, Switzerland has a population of more than 700,000 people. Coupled with the fierce folk customs, it is a famous source of excellent soldiers in Europe. Whichever monarch gets Switzerland will grow in power and upset the regional balance of power......
