The Rise of the European Emperor

Duke Ulrich suddenly remembered that he had forgotten to order Chapman and the four of them to be brought out of the prisoner-of-war camp. Now is just right, they haven't been exposed yet, and they can continue to exert their residual heat.

"Let the four of them take the lead, will it be exposed? In the future, they will return to me. If they are recognized as leading the rebel army, they will be finished!" Duke Ulrich hesitated.

Wolf said with confidence:

"Don't worry, my lord, Chapman and the four of them are different from me. I don't grow a beard, and the four of them have thick beards. During this time, in order to blend in with the rebels and not be recognized, all four of them have I got a big beard. As long as the beard is not shaved and the face is dirty a little, no one will recognize them. When they come back, they can shave their beards clean. But I don’t have a beard, and this time I was exposed , it is inconvenient to participate in it again..."

This is also the reason why Wolfe had to take off his logo clothes and smear the yellow mud on his face when he killed Caspar before. He didn't grow a beard, and he didn't know how to disguise himself. In order not to be recognized, it had to be like this. And Chapman's four beards grow faster. As long as you don't shave for a long time, and your face is a little dirty, it will be difficult for others to recognize it.

Duke Ulrich nodded and said:

"Well, when I arrange to escort the prisoners back tomorrow, I deliberately send a team of the weakest conscripts to escort their team at the end. I remember, Chapman is now the deputy captain of the rebel light cavalry? Then I will The whole light cavalry team took the opportunity to let go..."

Wolf shook his head again and again:

"No, Chapman is only the vice-captain, and there is also Captain Gates above him. If all of them are released, the team will still listen to the captain Gates instead of Chapman."

Duke Ulrich said:

"This is easy. I ordered the captain named Gates to be taken away separately tomorrow morning, and they will be executed together in the future. Then, you secretly send someone to tell Chapman the four of us about our plan. Tomorrow, the rebels where they are lightly The cavalry team, the last escort to Stuttgart. In charge of escorting them, I will arrange for an officer who likes to drink to take a team of conscripts with poor combat effectiveness to perform this task. At that time, you will secretly have the rope tied to Chapman Let go, and let him lead people away at night. As for the officer and those conscripts, just treat them as the spoils I gave them..."

The next morning, Duke Ulrich and most of the soldiers escorted most of the prisoners of war and left first, leaving behind the lesser half of the prisoners of war and some soldiers of the army to escort them in batches.

The leader of the light cavalry squad escorting Chapman was an alcoholic knight named Hessett. And the 300 soldiers he led were all conscripts with poor combat effectiveness.

Of course, what Hessett and his party escorted was not all the 2,200 peasant army light cavalry prisoners of war, but only 500 of them.

You know, these 2200 light cavalry are the elite of the rebel army. In the previous battles, it also caused a lot of trouble to the officers and soldiers. If they were all released, they would become quite a threat. But if it was released less, Chapman would not have the strength to attack those manors. Therefore, after thinking twice, Duke Ulrich gave the number of 500 people and put them alone at the end to facilitate escape.

Before leaving, Duke Ulrich deliberately gave Knight Hesset a few bottles of fine wine...

...

Sure enough, when the team of Hessett knights who set out in the afternoon camped in a small village at night, they couldn't help drinking the fine wine that Duke Ulrich had rewarded them with.

These wines are the rye Erguotou that Duke Ulrich bought from the North Sea country, and the price is quite high. Then, after two pots of rye Erguotou, Knight Hesset successfully passed out...

In the middle of the night, Chapman, who was tied up and thrown in a large yard, suddenly opened his eyes, and then, with a movement of his hands, he untied the rope from his hands. The rope in his hand was a slipknot that Wolfe sent someone to tie for him, just to make it easier for him to break free. Moreover, the person sent to contact him last night hid a dagger in his boot...

After breaking free from the ropes on his hands, Chapman took out a dagger from his boots under the surprised gazes of other awake prisoners of war, first cut the ropes on his own feet, and then began to cut the hands of other prisoners of war. and the ropes on the feet...

Two hours later, the 200 people in this yard were free again...

"Master Charlie, what should we do now?" The liberated prisoners of war surrounded Chapman.

Chapman said seriously:

"Everyone find a weapon in the yard first, sticks and bricks are fine. Then, let's climb over the wall and get rid of the two guards outside the gate of the yard. At the same time, we will attack another large yard and rescue more than two hundred other guards. brother……"

"What if the enemy finds out?" a prisoner of war asked in a low voice.

Chapman waved his hand and said in a low voice:

"I read it during the day. There are only 300 people guarding our team, and most of them are conscripts composed of farmers. Their combat effectiveness is not stronger than ours. We are the elite of the rebel army. How can we be afraid of them? As for the knight, I am far away. I can smell the alcohol, I guess I'm dead drunk by now. As long as we get out of this yard and grab the weapons, we won't be afraid of those idiots at all!"

After completing the mobilization, Chapman led everyone to climb over the wall carefully and lightly. Then, Chapman and another undercover knight, Xinton, relied on their martial arts skills, quietly lurked outside the gate of the courtyard, and silently killed the three conscripts who were guarding the gate.

Then, the two of them quietly lurked outside another courtyard gate and killed four sleeping guards. Then, more than two hundred rebel light cavalry prisoners of war in the yard were rescued, including two other undercover knights, Leo and Dim...

Then, after getting the weapons of the guards, the four undercover knights led a group of light cavalry prisoners with wooden sticks and bricks, and raided the main house of the manor where the guards lived...

Under the leadership of the four Chapmans, the two or three hundred conscripts who woke up in a panic were helpless. Knight Hessett was awakened by his subordinates, but he was still sober because of the hangover. When he staggered into the hall, he was stabbed to death by the oncoming undercover knight Leo. Normally, Lei Ao and his kung fu are on par. However, Hessett was drunk and not yet sober, so he was easily killed by Leo of the same level...

Seeing that the Hessett knight was killed, the remaining two hundred conscripts suddenly collapsed. Either fleeing in a hurry, or laying down their weapons and surrendering.

Chapman did not embarrass them, but confiscated their weapons and equipped the 493 light cavalry prisoners of war. Then, the four of them reorganized the team overnight, and fled in the direction that the peasant army planned to loot before dawn...

By the time the city of Stuttgart received the news that "500 rebel prisoners of war had escaped" in the afternoon of the day, Chapman had already led people to capture a manor that he had planned to attack before.

Adhering to the will of Duke Ulrich, after conquering the manor, the four of Chapman not only killed the owner of the manor, but also forcibly recruited all 300 middle-aged men in the entire manor into the rebel army.

Afterwards, this team continued to attack the next manor, and continued to engulf all the strong men of the next manor...

According to Duke Ulrich's plan, the task of the four of them was to take over all the young men of all the manors along the way. Then, he intentionally lost to the official army and asked Duke Ulrich to exchange those strong men with the North Sea Kingdom...
