The combat effectiveness of the French army is still very strong, especially the four or five hundred plate armor infantry, but they are the trump card in foot combat. But alas, they managed to run head-on with the few English knights in the British army. Because of the problem of weapons and the fact that the martial arts were slightly inferior, this elite of the French army was very wronged.

If it were against the ordinary infantry of England, this army should have been slaughtered in all directions, but they met a nemesis! After this army is finished, the French army will not have any elite.

Originally, 1000 arquebusiers were also quite powerful, especially in the defense of the city. Unfortunately, it rained that day, and the 1,000 arquebusiers were instantly abolished, which was inferior to the average infantry, and the combat effectiveness was no different from the levies composed of farmers.

After the British army broke through the south gate again, they began to flank the French troops in the city. Although the French army resisted to the death, they were really not superior in numbers. What's more, their elite was destroyed by mistake. Therefore, General Moreno could only watch as the French army retreated.

In the end, General Moreno was held down by several strong British men in the Doge's Palace, and was captured in humiliation......

……

"Hooray!"

"Hooray!"

……

The British soldiers cheered loudly at the head of the fortress of Calais to celebrate this rare victory. You know, since the late Hundred Years' War, the British have rarely been able to defeat the French on land. This also led to the British Army being a little psychologically empty in the face of the French army. But the victory in the battle to conquer the fortress of Calais gave the British soldiers a lot of confidence.

But General Sabragin was worried, worried:

"What if the French use the same tricks against us?"

This siege battle was an eye-opener for him, whether it was to easily solve the iron gate of the sewer or open the gate from the inside, which made General Sabragin a little surprised. Then he thought worriedly—what about the Key: What if the French used the same trick to besiege Calais?

At this time, Balke, the intelligence chief of the Beihai Kingdom, said with a smile:

"In fact, this problem is very simple, in our Beihai capital city of Orich, there is a solution!"

"Oh, how do you solve these hidden dangers?" Sabragin curious.

Balk replied:

"In the city of Aurich, in order to prevent the city from being opened, the Grand Duke of Marin added an iron gate to the inside of the city gate. The iron gate was not too thick to block the impact of the wood. But the Grand Duke said that this gate was actually to block the small forces in the city that tried to storm the city gate. ”

"This kind of small force lurking in the city and intending to open the city gate is impossible to carry the tools used in the siege of the city. Usually they only carry swords, so they don't need too thick iron gates to stop them. ”

"When the time comes, the inside of the iron door will be locked, and it will be difficult for the enemy's assault team to open the iron door in a short time. Moreover, the defenders near the city gates are not fools. When they destroyed the inner iron gate, they would have come and wiped out these people a long time ago! ”

The iron gate on the inside of the city gate cave made by Marin is actually similar to the old-fashioned school iron gate in later generations. It's not too strong, and it certainly can't resist siege equipment. However, it was no problem at all to fend off the enemy assault team in the city for a while, holding out until the reinforcements from the city gate tower and the nearby barracks arrived.

With this kind of thing, which resembles the big iron gate of the school, it is basically impossible for the enemy to raid and open the gate from behind. After all, it is difficult for a single soldier to break through such a large iron gate without engineering equipment. In this way, you don't have to worry too much about the city gate being breached from the internal test.

Moreover, this large iron gate is relatively lightweight. When the city gate is opened in the morning, the guards on duty in the city gate can easily push open the iron gate without affecting the traffic inside and outside the city.

When Sabragin heard this, he was immediately overjoyed and immediately ordered imitation. Then he asked:

"And how do you defend the sewer gate?"

This time, the British broke into the city through the sewers......

Balk thought for a moment and said:

"Like...... There are two iron sewer gates in Aurich. Moreover, oil lamps are lit in the culvert at night. There is a sentry post nearby with a lookout hole to protect against the rain. ”

"Unlike the French, the iron sewer gates in the city of Aurich are lit by oil lamps in the culverts, which are kept up all night. Unlike the French, who relied on torches at the head of the city for lighting, they could not protect against rain. There are lights in the culvert, as long as there are guards in the lookout hole to watch at night, plus double iron gates, there is no need to worry about the enemy sneaking through the sewer to successfully ......"

Marin is the ancestor of the European sneak attack, how can he not guard against others sneaking up on him? Therefore, whether it is the defense of the inside of the city gate hole or the defense of the iron gate of the sewer, he has taken it into account and will not give people a chance to sneak up on him.

After hearing this, General Sabragin sighed with emotion - he is indeed the first yin person in Europe, not only good at yin others, but also prevent others from yin himself......

If Balk had known Sabrakin's thoughts, he would probably have proposed a duel - paralysis, our boss is called resourceful, what is a yin man?

……

Subsequently, Sabragin began to transform the city's defense according to the model of Auric, completely borrowing from the model of Auric. With these two transformations, there is no fear that the French will use the same tricks to seize the fortress of Calais.

Of course, there are others. For example, to drive all the French in Calais out of the fortress of Calais......

Sabraquin is not a fool, most of the French in the city have moved in from France in recent years, and they are naturally die-hard loyalists of the Kingdom of France. Keeping them in the city is definitely a safety hazard. Perhaps, they will meet with the French army.

Moreover, while driving out more than half of the city's population, the British soldiers could also take advantage of the opportunity to raid their homes and plunder the wealth of the French. After all, this is a fortress port, a place of commerce, and the residents of the city still have some assets. Take advantage of the opportunity to drive them out of the city, and you can make a profit. The French people in the city, clothes and bedding can be taken with them. As for property, then don't think about it......

Even the English merchants in the city were extorted by General Sabrakin's men. After all, in the past few years, these Englishmen have done a lot of things for the French in the city, and they deserve to be fined. Of course, for them, the British army was not so ruthless, just knocking on a stroke, and did not raid other people's homes.

……

After clearing the city, General Sabragin sent an envoy to Paris to inform the French court that the Kingdom of England had taken back the administration of the fortress of Calais. Moreover, 2,600 people from your country, including General Moreno, were captured, including 30 noble officers......

In accordance with the instructions of His Majesty Edward, the British were willing to release all prisoners of war unconditionally if France recognized England's permanent sovereignty over Calais......

When the news reached Paris, there was an uproar throughout the Kingdom of France......
