Major General Briss, the defender of the No. 3 Fortress of the French Army, has been really a little upset these days, since the day when the grain and grass did not arrive on time, he has not slept well, and the more he goes to the back, the more anxious he becomes, he even feels that he is about to collapse. Fastest updates
Well, now that there is finally a result, no matter what happens, just ask Bastian who came back from the rout, the unknown enemy is the most terrifying, as long as you know the enemy's situation, you can always come up with corresponding countermeasures, if you really can't do it, ask for help from the nearby fortress or the military high-level, there will always be a solution.
While waiting for Bastian to report, he couldn't help but take out a map of the entire Pyrenees and imagine what kind of countermeasures should be taken in various situations.
In the end, he did not wait for Major Bastian, but for a burst of gunfire and an explosion.
Hell, could it be that the rout and the men stationed in the fortress are fighting!
He got up from his chair and was about to run out, when a guard suddenly ran in and said in a panic: "General, it's not good, those who fled back suddenly attacked the others, and they started fighting." “
It's really a fight! What the hell is going on here?
Bliss felt his head explode, he thought for a moment, and then ordered, "Gather all the guards at once and follow me to have a look." “
When the guard heard this, he hurried out, and Bliss took out a single-shot flintlock pistol from a drawer, picked up the binoculars on the table, and then ran out as well.
As soon as he ran to the door, a hundred or so guards had almost been assembled, and he didn't say a word, just waved his hand and said loudly, "Follow me." “
With that, just run outside.
When I got out of the barracks and came outside, I saw that the entire three floors were in chaos, and there were soldiers fighting everywhere, especially on the city wall, which had already been beaten into a pot of porridge.
He raised his binoculars, took a closer look, and finally saw that something was wrong.
Those routs with black faces don't look like Europeans at all, but a bit like people from the Ming Empire!
He finally understood that these routs were not his men at all, but enemies who had come in disguise to sneak in.
At this time, he had no time to think about how the enemy had gone around their rear, the situation in front of him was already extremely unfavorable, the black-faced enemy had an overwhelming advantage, and his men were about to be overwhelmed.
He hurriedly ordered: "Quick, load your ammunition, get ready to shoot, and hit those guys with black faces." “
In fact, as soon as he appeared, he was discovered by Fu Yunlong, there are not many defenders on the third layer of the fortress, the enemy is mainly concentrated in the first and second layers, and the total number of people on the third floor is less than five hundred, and the other four hundred or so people were almost killed by their wave of sneak attacks, and the hundred or so people who suddenly appeared naturally became their main target.
Before the French army had finished loading the bullets, a burst of gunfire suddenly sounded in front, and the fortress guard Briss was beaten into a sieve before he could do anything.
Immediately afterwards, dozens of grenades flew from all directions, and after a burst of "boom, boom, boom", the hundreds of people suddenly howled miserably.
Then, dozens of people rushed over, and the guard leader hurriedly shouted: "Quick, get on the bayonet." “
The guards hurriedly threw away the gunpowder and bullets in their hands, drew their bayonets, loaded them on their rifles, and fought with the rushing enemy.
Fu Yunlong was the first to rush into the crowd, he didn't know where to get a thick-backed machete, the dance was like a gust of wind, blood splashed everywhere he passed, only the light of the knife was gone, and the kung fu was like a fight with Lu Xiangsheng!
These musketeers were the opponents of the special forces of the Ming Army, and the hundred or so people were wiped out in less than a tea time.
Fu Yunlong shook the blood on the knife and shouted: "Prepare a crossbow, a grenade, follow me in and have a look." “
With that, he rushed to the three-story barracks with his knife.
At this time, there were still people in the barracks, most of them were arranged to guard the first, second and third floors of the city wall, and the remaining hundred Bliss guards had just been killed together with their main general, and the barracks were almost empty.
In less than an hour, the fortress gradually quieted down, and the Ming special forces led by Fu Yunlong finally took control of the entire fortress, and a classic sneak attack that was enough to go down in history was successful.
In this battle, there is an element of luck in it, but it mainly depends on the proper use of tactics.
Starting from the ambush battle in the Nameless Valley, Fu Yunlong arranged every step very carefully, it can be said that it is not leaky, the only surprise is that the defender of the fortress actually ordered someone to take the initiative to open the city gate, which he really didn't expect.
Of course, even if they don't take the initiative to open the city gates, according to their negligence, it will only be a matter of time before they deceive the city gates.
In the end, the casualties of the Ming army's special forces were less than 1,000, mainly wounded, and less than 300 were killed.
And the French army was even more miserable, they had less than a thousand people left, and the number of dead alone exceeded three thousand!
Two days later, 10,000 Spanish troops arrived at the No. 3 fortress under the guidance of the Ming army's special forces, and Fu Yunlong hurriedly handed over the defense, and then took people to support the other squadrons.
At the same time, the entire Pyrenees were lit up everywhere, and most of them were Ming special forces sneaking up on the French defenders who had come out of the fortress.
The forts everywhere are similar, and they all have to come out to find the food after it is robbed, after all, no one will be stupid to starve to death in the fort.
Fu Yunlong specially sent his elite to inform the friendly troops everywhere of the successful experience of the sneak attack on the No. 3 fortress, and the special combat teams of the Guanning Army and the Dongjiang Army also began to rely on the gourd to draw scoops and sneak attack the fortresses everywhere.
Not to mention, this tactic really works, because there has never been such a sneak attack tactic like running directly outside the fortress in the history of the European continent, and most of the fortress guards are defenseless, and only a few particularly cautious and cautious fortress guards have discovered the tricks.
However, in the end, they did not hold a single bastion.
Because Fu Yunlong's tactics not only have tactics after deceiving the city gate, but also have corresponding tactics for not deceiving the city gate.
To put it bluntly, this tactic is desperate and tough, and it is impossible to retreat under the city wall, and if you retreat, it will definitely become a target for artillery, and it is better to fight to the death.
If you don't deceive the city gate, then attack it hard and fill it with human lives.
In fact, the biggest threat to the fortress is the artillery, once it rushes through the range of the artillery and comes to the city wall, it is not so dangerous.
Especially for the special forces of the Ming army, they are all strong men with rough skin and thick flesh, and they can generally fight after a few shots, while the French army is a front-loading single-shot flintlock pistol, the rate of fire is very slow, and they load the bullets, and the special forces of the Ming army can rush to them!
What's more, the special forces of the Ming army also have grenades and hook locks, if they can't deceive the city gate, they use grenades to blow up the defenders on the city wall, and then stack the wall with hook locks, and rush up desperately, which is also more terrifying.
Moreover, without exception, these fortresses were robbed of grain and grass by the special forces of the Ming army, and they all sent people to investigate the situation more or less, intending to recapture the grain and grass, and naturally could not escape the fate of being ambushed.
After one or two rounds of ambush attrition, the number of defenders in the fortress was originally believed to be clumsy, and when they encountered these desperate Ming army special forces, they could basically only be tragic.
