Night Battle Training

Marin is an ambitious person. Unlike the Earl Alfred, in order to achieve ambition, Marin must have outstanding performance in the war. Therefore, from the time of arriving in Italy, Marin began to plan various matters. In fact, Marin knows the course of the war in the original history, and can also propose some targeted programs. However, Marin did not do anything and did not show himself in front of the commander. Because he was afraid of his own intervention, which led to changes in the war process. In that case, his prophetic senses have lost their effect. Therefore, Marin has never said anything, just to see the princes of the League will have a heated discussion and quarrel. Seeing this group of princes, Marin suddenly remembered the plot of the princes and warlord against Dong Zhuo. The scene in front of him and the Coalition against Dong Zhuo are similar. The same multi-channel "tycoon" gathers, the same arrogance, the same anti-Dong (French) failure... Even Charles VIII and Dong Zhuo are running safely and directly. The road is the same.

Every time he opened an officer's meeting, Marin, as the lowest-level party leader who attended the meeting, sat in the corner and traveled the world without saying anything. And the Earl Alfred did not know what was going on, and he did not have the same desires. Even if the Venetian and the Mandovars were forced to work there, they sat silently on the side to "make soy sauce".

Marin seems to think that he is in the Milan fashion show, a group of Italians are squatting in the show and their Italian, Marin can't understand. Marin only knows German, English, Latin and Frisian (very close to English, taught by Mrs. Mary). For Italian, it is seven miles. Don't look at Latin and Italian from Italy. However, the two belong to two dialects with large differences and different times, and it is difficult to communicate with each other. Therefore, Marin can only silently watch the group of Italians using Italian dialects to force the bragging, just like the last time watching Hong Kong people use Cantonese in the film, he can't understand it. Marin didn't bother to listen to Italy's bragging, but recalled the only general battle of the coalition and the French army - the specific plot of the Battle of Fornov.

Marin remembers that during the war, the French had 8,000 French heavy cavalry and 4,000 Swiss spearmen. However, when Charles VIII marched in the past, he lost all the heavy artillery, but he was reluctant to leave the treasures of gold and silver. Charles VIII is not a normal person. When he discovered that the French army was stopped by thirty or fifty thousand coalition forces, in order to prevent the enemy from relying on the quantitative advantage, he refused to be stopped so he ordered to leave the gold and silver treasures in the road to France. When the light cavalry of the 6,000 coalition forces saw the gold and silver treasures on the ground, they refused to go to the French army, but they went down to pick gold and silver treasures. Then, the coalition attack plan failed, and the French army also escaped their doom. The problem of gold and silver treasures, Marin does not care. He is a mercenary, in order to earn a title, not for money. Besides, if you want to make money, is he a modern man afraid of no idea?

Therefore, Marin secretly decided that he must make great efforts in this battle, so that he can change the his rank with the emperor.

According to memory, in the battle, the Swiss blocked the impact of the Venetian infantry, while the light cavalry of Milan was busy picking the treasure. However, Charles VIII was not willing to compete with the coalition forces. So, on the night of July 6, he left the 4000 Swiss Spearman, and he stayed up late, with 8000 French heavy cavalry escaping overnight. Moreover, Marin recalled that it seemed that there had been heavy rain that afternoon, and the road was definitely not good. If Charles VIII wants to run around the clock, he must not take the path. Because his heavy cavalry is not suitable for taking the path. Then, Marin can be sure that that night, Charles VIII's heavy cavalry group must have escaped along the road. At night, everyone could not see clearly. Marin estimated in his heart whether he could fish in this battle and even stop the French cavalry group. After repeated speculation, Marin felt that he seemed to be able to take the opportunity to stop the French cavalry group.

At the moment, Marin also has 1100 soldiers in his hand. Although he is incomparable with the French 8000 cavalry, he can't attack it. However, it is still barely able to do so by obeying the intersection and blocking the pace of the French withdrawal. The most important thing is that the French lost all the artillery. Without the artillery, the cavalry could not break through the spear. In addition, he will also arrange double gullies and pointed wooden posts, which can completely block the French army. Of course, it is impossible for the 1,100 people who want to destroy the French army. Therefore, while blocking the French army, he still has to ask the coalition for help. If the coalition forces can send troops to attack before and after, the French will not fail. To this end, when Marin was training, he began to train for night battles, and targetedly added a lot of subjects against heavy cavalry such as the heavy cavalry with full of plate armor, and it is difficult to kill them with a spear. If the French heavy cavalry gives up the horse, it is a bit of a hassle for the spear. Therefore, Marin thought about it and selected 100 Hercules like in the phalanx. Under the leadership of Kahn, he formed the "Warhammer Team." The plate is thicker and afraid of the hammer. After all, the shocking force of the hammer slamming down can completely stun and smash the heavy armor. If you reach your head, you can even smash it. To this end, Marin acquired a batch of blacksmith hammers, replaced them with long wooden handles, and let the "Warhammers" begin training. In addition, Marin also selected a group of well-meaning people for the situation that was not clear at night, so that they could simulate the sounds of thousands of horses and used to scare the French.

　　It is indeed to block 8,000 French "man of iron" with 1,100 people. If the French people know their own details, they will not kill themselves. Therefore, in other directions, it is also a good idea to pretend to be a thousand horses and scare the French.

A few days ago, Marin personally hosted the night battle training. But a few days later, Marin handed the night training to Schwartz. He himself, with Sauer and Kahn himself, went to Fornov, to conduct field trips and depict local topographic maps. Then, Marin returned to the Venetian station with a thick stack of parchment. On these parchments, all of the topographic maps of Fornovo, which Marin personally portrayed, all draw contour lines. In the days that followed, Marin trained horses every night, sleeping in the morning during the day, studying maps in the afternoon, thinking about combat plans.

What the unfortunate Charles VIII didn't know was that he hadn't evacuated from Naples yet, and someone in Venice was counting on him. Moreover, the calculation is the most basic 8000 heavy cavalry in France. You know, these heavy cavalry are armed by the French mainland, not the Swiss mercenaries who "who give money to those who give money." If the heavy cavalry is damaged, France will definitely be badly hurt.
