The Rise of the European Emperor

In York, the French commander, Knight Francois, was puzzled by Siwager's insistence on not allowing the French to fully participate in the war. , Visit the latest chapter: ШШШ.79xs.СоМ. After all, if there are experienced French troops to defend the city, the city wall will be more stable.

But Sivag always disagreed, and only let the French army go to the city wall to help in a critical moment. In addition, Siwager asked François knights to send 4,000 French troops on duty every night to guard against British night attacks.

After 'mixing' with Marin for a while, Siwager attached great importance to night raids and preventing night raids. Of course, the French also pay more attention. After all, their predecessor, King Charles VIII, was defeated by the Marin Night Raid. The French army also joined the mechanism of preventing night attacks after that battle.

However, the anti-night attack mechanism needs to divert many people to reverse the day and night to work at night, which is very unfavorable for the overall combat effectiveness. And Siwager arranged for half of the French army to help out, so he didn't need to send his own recruits to watch the night. In this way, under the circumstance that no one's biological clock is "disordered" in all the soldiers of the Fifth Legion, everyone's combat effectiveness is maintained very well.

And the French are happy too. Because there is no danger at night. If someone like Henry VII or Thomas Stanley would lead the army, there might be night attacks, but Henry Percy's impulsiveness is very young, and Uncle Haha is more serious, and prefers to defeat the enemy in an upright manner.

As a result, the seven thousand French were divided into two groups—one group of 4,000 people was in charge of the night, and another group of 3,000 people was responsible for guarding the city during the day. If you see any loopholes, go and help.

A few days ago, the French also helped the Fifth Army many times, but after a week, the French became more and more idle and could not find any opportunities.

It doesn't matter to other French soldiers, because they are not willing to work hard for Edward. Some people are helping to defend the city, wouldn't it be better if they don't need them?

But the Francois Knight was a little unhappy...why? Because he remembered Edward's promise...

Edward had promised to give him an earl to do as long as the Knight Francois helped him keep York City. If the French army he commanded didn't have the chance to "show" his face, he would have the nerve to ask Edward for the position of earl. All things were done by the people of Sivag, and he was worried that the title would also be robbed by Sivag...

So, Francois Knight began to discuss the issue of rotation with Siwager. But Sivag didn't agree, but shied away and said two days later...

"General Siwager, your soldiers suffered a lot of casualties, why don't you let us help defend the city?" Francois asked curiously.

"According to His Majesty Edward's orders, I'm training!" Siwager had long thought of a solution, and he answered naturally.

Siwager did not tell François his identity as a Frisian,

And the French did not know that Siwager's Fifth Army was from Marin. This was something that Malin had 'handed over' to him. Marin wanted to make the French believe that this new army was prepared by Edward. In this way, when these Frenchmen return home, they will tell Louis XII that Edward has already prepared a new army of ten thousand people. Then, Edward would be premeditated by the suspicion of Louis XII, and Marin himself would be whitewashed by the French.

After all, the 10,000-strong army of Siwag, although they are all recruits, looks like they have been trained. If Louis XII knew that Marin had 10,000 English recruits, and that they had prepared them a few months ago, he might have guessed that Marin had ulterior motives...

...

"Practice?" Francois knight was puzzled for a while, but soon his eyes lit up...

"This is indeed a good way to train troops! The danger of defending the city is not too dangerous, and the recruits are not easy to collapse. It's a good idea! No, I have to report it to Your Majesty!" Francois Knight said excitedly. His Majesty, of course, was not Edward, but Louis XII.

But Sivag poured cold water on him:

"General Francois, it's not that simple..."

"What's not easy?" Francois was a little puzzled.

Sivag raised a finger and said:

"First of all, 10,000 recruits are used to defend the city. If there are no veterans, it is likely to collapse... The reason why I dare to train in York City is because there are 10,000 veterans like you behind the city wall. Even if we collapse, You can also help drive the enemy back..."

Francois Knight thought for a while, then nodded in agreement. But he quickly said excitedly:

"That's fine. We will let the recruits guard the city in the future, and the veterans will stand under the city. In this way, using the brutal siege battle, we can indeed quickly train new recruits!" He saw the improvement of the soldiers of the Fifth Army these days. of.

Sivag shook his head, raised his second finger, and said:

"It's not like this, we train like this, there is a second prerequisite..."

"The second condition? What is that?" Sivag asked eagerly. If you can sum up a good training method and report it to the French King Louis XII, your title will definitely be improved...

"The second condition is that the enemy troops outside the city do not know that there are 20,000 troops in the city... If they know that there are 10,000 veterans and 10,000 recruits in York City, they would never dare to attack the city with such confidence. "..." Sivag said slowly. To put it bluntly, the British army lacked intelligence. After all, the British army has lost control of Yorkshire for almost two years, and intelligence work is naturally not in place. Moreover, the Fifth Legion was nocturnal, and it came to York City by trail, so it was very hidden.

Francois knight thought about it, it was true. If you lead an army to attack the city yourself, knowing that there are as many enemy troops and horses defending the city as yourself, you must be much more cautious. The British army outside the city probably did not know that there were also 20,000 troops in the city at this time, so they were so relieved to attack...

"No wonder you didn't let our army go up the city wall together, because you were afraid of scaring the other party..." Knight Francois suddenly realized.

"So, General Francois, if you want to train new recruits and let them train by defending the city, you must pay attention to confidentiality, and you must keep the other party unaware of the existence of the recruits. Otherwise, the other party knows that you have a lot of troops, so just I'm not happy to play with you. Or, I will take other measures..." Siwager didn't hide his 'privacy', and enthusiastically shared his experience with the Francois knight.

However, if you think Sivag is 'selfish' or stupid, then you are wrong. It's not that Siwager is selfless and generous, but Siwager understands that this knight named François will not return to France alive...

As a middle-aged veteran and politically experienced man, Siwager knew that Edward's promise to canonize François as earl was difficult to keep. However, it is unlikely that Edward a future king will default on his debts. Therefore, the best way is to let the Francois knight reasonably die after success... In this way, Edward can save an earl title and a large fief...

Sivag didn't know whether Edward was a ruthless monarch, but he at least knew - his monarch, Marin, was definitely ruthless... Even if Edward didn't do anything, Marin would probably help take care of this stunned French knight. ...

You know, the Fifth Corps began to form quietly last year. Even at that time, Edward hadn't discussed it with Marin. It can be seen that Marin has long been plotting against England.

Moreover, Siwager has a terrible intuition-he feels that his master Marlin may not be plotting Northumberland and the Isle of Wight negotiated with Edward, but the whole of England...

Sivager knew that Marin had won the second marriage right with Edward's only 'daughter' Princess Margaret for his son Caesar. Although it is not clear why Marin bet that Louis XII could not have a son and Edward had no son, his intuition told Siwager - Marin must have some way to do this... And this intuition is also Siwager The biggest reliance on being able to live well after the eight former masters have all died...
