Chapter 448: Perfectly Reasonable False Information

The ace spies are all out, and Marin is almost a big bet this time. Therefore, the relevant false information naturally cannot be done badly. Otherwise, it would be a big loss to take the life of an ace spy and fail to fool the old fox of Frederick III.

So, Marin locked himself in his room and began to rack his brains to devise a fake information that seemed very plausible. At the very least, it is necessary to fool the cunning "Zhuge Martyr".

And a false information that can fool the old fox, his main point is reasonable, so reasonable that people can't jump out of any faults. Otherwise, there are a lot of loopholes, not to mention "Zhuge Terlie", and even the stunned young man of Joakim I may not necessarily believe it. If that's the case, when the time comes, Jim, the spy of the royal faction, will probably be pushed out of the camp and beheaded before he has time to perform his tricks......

Therefore, Marin was very nervous about this information and thought a lot......

First of all, this information had to be sent to Hamburg. Otherwise, the route that does not pass through the west may not be discovered by the scouts scattered by the Bosa coalition army.

Second, this intelligence needs to mention the matter of asking Hamburg to recruit 10,000 troops. Originally, Marin had planned to suggest in this letter that Heisenberg, the speaker of the Hamburg Parliament, start recruiting 10,000 people to pretend to be reinforcements.

However, it suddenly occurred to Marin that it would take a long time to recruit an army of 10,000. If you wait for this letter to be sent before you start recruiting, it will be too late.

Moreover, the "true" intelligence in the mezzanine will leak the news that the 10,000-strong army in Hamburg is fake. If this is the case, the spies and scouts of the Bossa coalition around Hamburg City may not be able to enter the city to find out the news, and they will not be trapped in the city by Hamburg. When the time comes, these spies and scouts outside the city will easily find the traces of reinforcements.

Therefore, Marin thought about it and decided to immediately write to the speaker of the Hamburg parliament, Heisenberg, to ask him to start recruiting people now. Even, troops were sent to the surrounding countryside to catch strong men.

In this way, the spies and scouts who were originally lurking in the surrounding villages will be shocked. At that time, they had only two options – leave or go into town......

However, due to the intelligence officer's thirst for information, most of them will choose to go into the city to find out more information. Even, they may disguise themselves as captured strong men and blend into this army for intelligence detection......

However, Marin will not give them a chance to pass on the information. Because, Marin told Heisenberg - once the 10,000 people are strong, the city of Hamburg will open the closed mode, only entering and not leaving. At the same time, there is also a curfew to cooperate.

When the time comes, it will be difficult for those spies and scouts to pass on the information even if they want to pass it on. Because, the whole city is closed. If you want to go out, once you are discovered, you will be killed on the spot. In addition, the city of Hamburg will ban no horses from leaving the city. Without horses, even if people leave the city, it is difficult to deliver information in time.

Not only that, but when the time comes, Hamburg will also send cavalry squads to patrol the nearby villages, confiscating all the horses, so that no spies can use them to go out of the city to report the news.

When the time comes, Sauer's 200 musketeers, who specialize in intercepting scouts, will also lead another 500 cavalry, under the banner of Hamburg City, to patrol the villages north of Hamburg City, and temporarily seize all the horses to avoid being used by those hidden enemy scouts.

If you find any good horses of war horse level in the village, immediately check it strictly. After all, those scouts can disguise themselves as ordinary people and blend in with the village. But their horses must be different from the horses used in the villages. When the time came, Sauer's scouts had collected all the horses and strictly inspected the horses of unknown origin. Even if you can't catch the enemy scouts, you can still blind the spies and scouts by taking the horses from all the villages near the landing area.

When the time comes, even if they find the landing army, they will not be able to pass on the information even if they do. Because, they are out of horses......

And if you go on foot to report the news, when the army lands, inspect the nearby light cavalry, but you are not blind, and when you see passers-by running wildly on the road in the middle of the night, you will definitely directly arrest or intercept them......

Hamburg is only 35 kilometres from Lübeck. Hamburg is southwest of Lübeck and is shorter in a straight line if you land from the north of Hamburg. Moreover, the main battlefield must be to the west of Lübeck, closer to the landing site. If you land at night, march quickly all night, just before dawn, just before dawn. And this time is the time when people are most sleepy, and if they launch a sneak attack, the effect is the best......

This was the real plan, but the plan that was deliberately leaked to Frederick III was like this: in order to protect Hamburg, Marin took the initiative to fight the Bossa coalition and agreed to face each other head-on west of Lübeck.

And the Bossa coalition has the advantage, and will definitely not refuse the opportunity for this head-to-head showdown. Then, after the two sides lined up to fight, Marin's army of 20,000 tried to hold their positions and resist the enemy's attack.

Then "10,000 reinforcements" will be sent from the Hamburg direction, and at the same time, "10,000 reinforcements" from the north will arrive......

However, the "10,000 reinforcements" in Hamburg are fake, they just need to show their faces and then settle down to protect themselves. At the same time, the "10,000 reinforcements" in the north, because half of them are recruits, are not suitable for a real assault on the enemy formation. Therefore, they will also be close to the Bossa coalition army, and form a fortress to protect themselves.

At this time, the Bossa coalition army, which did not know the situation, would definitely divide troops to block reinforcements from these two directions for the sake of safety. Marin would estimate in the intelligence that 10,000 men from the west and 10,000 from the north would resist......

At this time, Marin's 20,000 army was facing only 30,000 main battle troops. Then, Marin will fight hard, with 20,000 and 30,000 men, to defeat these 30,000 people......

When the enemy's 30,000 main forces are defeated, even if the two 20,000 people who were deceived into leaving come back to help, it will be useless. Because, as long as the morale is discouraged, the soldiers are afraid, and the defeat of the soldiers cannot be controlled at all. Otherwise, how can it be said that "the army is defeated like a mountain"......

Then, naturally, Marin won...... In the face of a chaotic enemy army, when will you not chase and kill at this time?

……

To put it bluntly, the core idea of this intelligence is to use fake reinforcements to deceive the Bossa coalition army into dividing its troops, so that their frontal strength will be reduced to about 30,000. At this time, the difference in the strength of the two sides was not large. If you fight to the death, you may not be without the possibility of winning.

……

Of course, this plan is the most suitable plan without real reinforcements. Moreover, I can't fault anything.

It seems that in the absence of reinforcements, this is Marin's best option and the only option that can be won.

Whoever sees this plan will think it is very reasonable. Moreover, these old-fashioned European generals will also be impressed by Marin's bold plans. As for doubting its authenticity? Europe, which has rarely been deceived by tricks, will slam the door, and I am afraid that it will not have the ability to see the problem......

After all, the plan was too perfect and reasonable. Use suspicious soldiers to divide the opponent's forces and weaken their frontal forces. Then, taking advantage of the fact that there was not much difference in the number of the two sides on the frontal battlefield, let the elite of the headquarters fight to the death...... That's too reasonable, and it's unreasonable not to do it......

As for the issue of reinforcements, since the sea and land were blocked, I am afraid that Frederick III and Joakim I did not expect that the Danish army of 20,000 would be defeated so quickly. After all, they didn't expect Marin to bring back 10,000 troops from England. Moreover, Prince Christian was poisoned and lay in bed, which is also unpredictable. Under normal circumstances, Marin deliberately revealed the information before, saying that on the northern battlefield, it is reasonable for the Duchy of Schleswig to leave half of the main force with the people to resist the attack of the Danish army......

Therefore, in the face of such perfect and reasonable "true" intelligence, the best choice for the Bossa coalition army must be to divide part of its forces to intercept the "10,000 reinforcements" of "half of the veterans" along the way in the north. After all, there is an army of 5,000 veterans, if it really doesn't matter, when the two sides are fighting, this force suddenly rushes out from the flanks, and the destructive power is extremely great......

But neither Frederick III nor Joakim I knew that the information that "5,000 veterans out of 10,000 people" was also false......

However, with Frederick III's prudence, he certainly did not dare to gamble either. If there are really 5,000 veterans in this 10,000 people, it is also a good combat force. If they hit the left, it is easy to get into trouble. Therefore, it is definitely necessary to send a large army to resist.

As for the west side...... Since the 10,000 reinforcements in Hamburg were all disguised by the people. When the time comes, the west side will be able to send fewer men to defend. In this way, there are a little more people on the frontal battlefield. At that time, if Marin fights to the death, he can face double the main enemy, and they are all elite, even if he wants to fight hard, it may not be useful......

……

In short, Marin threw out this fake scheme that seemed perfectly plausible in order to convince the old fox Frederick III that it was true. Then, let them abandon the key defense to the west, so that the pressure on the real reinforcements will be relieved. At the same time, the spies who were originally densely scattered around Hamburg were tricked into the city of Hamburg by Hamburg's recruitment and arrest of strong men before Frederick III and Joakim I got this "true" information.

At this time, the real reinforcements took advantage of the night to land, and then went straight to the enemy camp and raided it, there is no reason to be invincible......

And the role of the ace spy Jim is to deliberately be caught by the enemy with this double parchment intelligence. Then, after being beaten, he deliberately feigned a mutiny and instructed Frederick III and Joakim I to tear open the double parchment and get "real" information...... And convince the two that this is true information......

With this perfectly reasonable false information that Marin racked his brains to come up with, it seems difficult for Frederick III and Joakim I not to believe it......
