Comments of chapter undefined of 1453: Revival of Byzantium

Mmmn, more or less, I don't know how strong the Swiss could be in urban or defensive combat, they served the French well since they were a solid infantry to accompany their cavalry and crossbowmen, but later they were defeated by the tercios, being the tercios totally versatile companies, they could besiege cities, defend them like no other (Just look at the Battle of Castelnuovo and the absolute destruction that the Turks suffered when they besieged them) and then the combat in the open field, which generally was quickly built some simple defenses like barricades and it was very difficult to do something to them, that's why they dominated the fields of Europe for more than 100 years, the musketeers being their legacy, since it is the same as a third only that pikemen are no longer separated from arquebusiers and now they are all the same, but the musketeers They were much more vulnerable against a cavalry than the tercios, since the pikes impose and the buckler fighters were very fast.
