The Rise of the European Emperor

In just half a day, the 2,000 noble coalition forces that Duke Ulrich sent out to pursue the peasant army were completely wiped out. In particular, the 100 knights were all killed.

Originally, Kasbal wanted to capture the captives for ransom. As a result, after the 30 or so plate armor knights left in the siege suffered huge casualties, everyone became red-eyed. As for Wolfe, the undercover agent, his mission is to get rid of the core forces of these opposition nobles. Therefore, a few of them took the opportunity to agitate the bloody rebel soldiers and killed all the injured knights. There were a few who survived by luck, but they were also secretly repaired by Wolfe and the others.

In this way, all the knights of this 2,000-strong noble army died in battle, and the four they belonged to were many opposition nobles, and they lost the most important group of thugs and pillars.

As a result, Kaspar and his "Poor Conrad" peasant uprising army officially lost the possibility of talking with the authorities. After all, no matter how many auxiliary soldiers die, there is no problem, but if 100 knights die in a row, this is an endless situation.

For Europeans in this era, nobles are human beings, and commoners are just animals that help nobles work. If they were defeated, those nobles would not pay to redeem those civilian soldiers. Unless, this civilian soldier is a veteran of many battles and has value. As for the civilian husband or something, please refer to the war that Saxony lost to Marin, and gave it to Marin directly...

After the 18th century, Western European countries gradually changed this tradition and began to gradually respect the lives of the people. But until the 19th century, Tsarist Russia still retained this habit. The soldiers of Tsarist Russia, known as "gray cattle", would not care how many Tsars died. Of course, this probably had something to do with serfdom. In the 19th century, serfdom was abolished one after another in Western European countries, and the status of peasants was recognized and respected. In Tsarist Russia, it was not until 1861 that the reform of serfdom began. Moreover, the reform has not been thorough. Therefore, Tsarist Russia retained its barbaric tradition and never took human life seriously.

However, that is for later generations. As far as the moment is concerned, the mainstream of European countries is still serfdom. The nobles of various countries basically don't take the life and death of ordinary people seriously. Therefore, no one cares about the number of auxiliary soldiers, conscripts and so on. However, the death of a hundred knights is a big deal. In particular, the one who killed these knights was the mud leg...

Therefore, Kaspar and his "Poor Conrad" peasant uprising army had no way out at this time.

However, at this time, Kaspar and the others were not thinking about whether to retreat or not, but began to swell, planning to attack Stuttgart...

"Brothers, we have defeated the enemy's pursuers. At this moment, the bustling city of Stuttgart must be empty of guards. In addition, we were originally echoed by the citizens of the city. Now, as long as we go back and besiege Stuttgart, we will definitely be able to take this place." A bustling big city!"

Kaspar stood on the hillside and yelled, and a group of peasant troops who had just won the battle also responded one after another.

They are just mindless serfs, easily fooled. As soon as Kaspar, the big leader, was mobilized, everyone's blood boiled immediately, and they wished to win Stuttgart immediately.

Then, more than 7,000 peasant troops surrounded Stuttgart again...

Under the cover of his shield, Caspar climbed on top of a carriage and shouted to the city, asking the citizens of the city to respond to the uprising, start an uprising, and open the city gates.

However, he didn't know that after he escaped from the city, the citizen uprising army in the city had been suppressed long ago. Moreover, Duke Ulrich issued an order to exempt the citizens from exorbitant taxes. The citizens have been bought and no longer have the idea of ​​rebellion.

Therefore, in the next few days, the peasant army's siege battle was fruitless. Among them, with the exception of Wolfe's undercover agents, the others don't even know how to make siege equipment, so how do they know how to siege a city?

In the city, some citizens who are not afraid of death responded to the call and launched an uprising to seize the gate. It is a pity that the inside of the Stuttgart city gate is heavily guarded. There were no more than a few dozen citizens who launched the uprising, and they were quickly slaughtered.

A few days later, the peasant army finally gave up the siege of Stuttgart. Moreover, they also ran out of food again...

"Leader, let's go, first go to the noble manors to grab enough food, even weapons and armor, and then come back. Moreover, if we take down those manors, we can recruit those manor people to join us and strengthen the strength of the rebel army!" Wolfe Take the opportunity to persuade.

"Okay, as you said. Well, let Charlie (one of the undercover agents, pseudonym) lead the way!"

Then, the surviving peasant army of more than 7,000, under the leadership of the undercover Charlie, went straight to the manors of the nobles who were at odds with Duke Ulrich of Württemberg...

Most of these manors were recruited into the city by Duke Ulrich because of their guarding forces, and were later deliberately sent out of the city to die. Therefore, the guarding forces of these manors are very empty now.

In the face of thousands of peasant uprisings, these noble manors were powerless to resist and were breached one after another. Then, at the instigation of several undercover agents of Wolfe, the owners of the manor, that is, those nobles who disobeyed Duke Ulrich, were killed one after another. Including their children, no one will be spared. Even the noble ladies were bewitched by Wolff and everyone to kill them first, ruining everything... because Duke Ulrich would have an excuse to take back their territory only if the entire noble family died. ...

And after the peasant army left the manor, another group of mysterious people came to the manor, waiting for the rabbit...

Who are they waiting for? Naturally waiting for the offshoot of this noble family! According to European inheritance laws, if a noble family dies, it should be inherited by an offshoot of the same family or a son-in-law. Either a nephew inherits or a grandson inherits. If the qualifications of both parties are similar, it will be decided by the sovereign arbitration.

But generally speaking, if one hears that the main family has perished, there will definitely be branch members rushing over eagerly, demanding to inherit the title of nobility. Those knights who cannot be hereditary are not counted, and the baronial family will definitely have a branch to seek to inherit the title.

And this mysterious team is specially designed to intercept and kill those side heirs...

Sure enough, in this baronial manor where the whole family died, after the peasant army left, side members came. They walked into the ruins, searching for everything that could prove the identity of the family. At the same time, they are also looking for the secret room where the treasure is hidden. However, that night, they were attacked by a mysterious person and all of them were killed. Then the body was set on fire...

...

And Kaspar's army, under the leadership of undercover Charlie, slaughtered those noble manors one by one without stopping.

During this period, Kaspar thought about not following Charlie's instructions and besieging the noble manors that passed along the way. However, these manors belonging to Duke Ulrich or the nobles in Duke Ulrich's camp are well-defended. There are even mercenaries from the North Sea country stationed there.

These Beihai mercenaries have all received various training in defending the city, and they can easily resist thousands of unprofessional peasant troops who have no artillery.

After hitting a few snags, Kasbal had to admit that it would be smoother if he followed the route led by Charlie...

Then, following Charlie's lead, the peasant rebel army conquered the noble manors without guards one by one, killed the nobles in the manors, and robbed the manors of food, gold and silver treasures, weapons and armor. Afterwards, they took away the strong men from various manors to strengthen the team. After destroying seven or eight noble manors, they have grown to more than 10,000 people...

Right now, the style of this peasant army is no different from the rogue tactics of Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong. In other words, they are the rogues of the Duchy of Württemberg now...
