The Rise of the European Emperor

At this time, on the command car full of gold, Frederick III and Joachim I were anxiously observing the situation, and at the same time, made some adjustments to try to bring the situation back.

After all, now that it is dawn, with the size of the 40,000-50,000-strong Bursa coalition, as long as they stabilize their positions, they may not lose.

However, just as the two of them stood on the golden carriage and looked into the distance, Woolf Esbrand, with his 8,000 elites and the 500 scouts who had helped clear the way before, aggressively headed towards the gold. Command the carriage.

At this time, Frederick III was commanding his men:

"Jorgen, go to the right flank and tell the warriors of Saxony that all the knights leave the crowd and go to the stables to the west to find horses. It's dawn now, and it's the right time for the knights to charge. At least, get rid of the runaway men first. Let's go and say..."

"Yes, my lord!" The Saxon guard named Jorgen had just mounted his horse and turned his head to go south. Then, he was almost scared off his horse by the 8,000 men of the Second Corps who rushed here aggressively.

He dismounted immediately, and crawled back to the side of the golden command carriage, anxiously shouting to Frederick III who was about to return to the carriage:

"Sir, thousands of enemy troops have come from the southwest. It seems that they are coming for the carriage!"

Frederick III had been paying attention to the east, but not the southwest. At this time, he turned his head and looked around, and was so frightened that he almost fell.

"This... this is obviously here to arrest us..."

Think of the 100,000 pounds of silver ransom paid by King Richard I, and the tragic end of his brother-in-law, King Hans of Denmark, who had to cede the two duchies after being captured. At this moment, Frederick III had the urge to escape...

However, he also knew that once he escaped, this coalition of tens of thousands of people would collapse.

However, if you don't run and are caught by the enemy, it will be the same. After all, if the coach was captured, what's the point?

Therefore, after thinking about it, Frederick III decisively took off his gorgeous robe and put on a set of plate armor that looked beautiful but was actually not heavy.

Then, he sent people first, and asked the Swiss to divide thousands of people to intercept the 8,000 soldiers of the Second East Frisian Army. Then, he pretended to be calm and returned to the golden command car, and said to Joachim I:

"Joachim, there's a group of enemies behind us!"

"What?" Joachim I jumped up in fright. If this group of enemies rushed to the command vehicle, wouldn't they be taken prisoners?

"Don't worry, I'm going to assemble the Saxon knights now, go to the stables to the west and mount the warhorse, and then personally lead the charge to overwhelm the group of sneak attackers! As for this, you command first, and I'll be back in a while! "Then, without waiting for Joachim I to answer, Frederick III left the carriage with a calm expression, followed by hundreds of Saxon guards, and walked towards the west stables.

At this time, the Saxon bodyguard Jorgen, with several hundred Saxon knights, hurried out of the scrambled formation of the Saxon army, and went to the stables west of the camp behind the buttocks of the 8,000 soldiers of the Second Army... …

The horses of the Bursa coalition are all in the stables to the west. When Frederick III arrived at the stable with a hundred guards, Jorgen just hurried to the stable with more than four hundred Saxon knights from the southeast...

"There are more than 500 knights now, and we can indeed attack the group of enemies behind..." On the side,

Conger, captain of the bodyguard of Frederick III, said.

As soon as he finished speaking, he was whipped by Frederick III in the face:

"Idiot, do you want me to be killed? Didn't you see that the enemy had seven or eight thousand people? Besides, when I looked at those people, they all looked like elite veterans. Even when they were attacking, their pace was not chaotic. We are more than 500 people, attacking them, do you want to commit suicide?"

"Then what do we do now?"

"Open the camp gate to the west, we will run from the west gate..." Frederick III thought for a while, it seemed that after his uncle Albrecht was defeated, he ran away with several hundred knights. And his cousin George has successfully run away with cavalry many times... um... this is very necessary to learn...

So, Frederick III ordered on the spot that the guards take off the heavy horse armor on the war horses, and also take off the trousers of the plate armor (because the plate armor pants affect the mounting and dismounting of the horse), and throw away the lance, and only wear it with them. The light sword, and then one person and two horses, hurried out from the west gate...

After leaving the west gate of the camp, Frederick III brought more than 500 Saxon knights into the camp where tens of thousands of Hamburg prisoners of war were housed.

There are now thousands of Bursa coalition soldiers guarding here. Frederick III originally wanted to run with these thousands of people, but after seeing that they were all infantry, he lost his mind.

At this time, Woolf Esbrand also received information that there were hundreds of people in plate armor running westward. Woolf Esbrand was startled and felt that a big fish had run away. However, he did not see any nobles in silk robes running away, so he thought that Frederick III and Joachim I were still on the golden carriage.

However, he also attached importance to the man who ran. After all, it must be a big fish to be able to run with hundreds of men wearing plate armor.

So, he called Sauer's deputy Loew and asked him to take 500 scouts to pursue...

Frederick III was debating whether to run with the thousands of infantry. Suddenly, the hand came down and reported:

"My lord, the enemy sent hundreds of cavalry to pursue it!"

"What?" Frederick III was taken aback, ready to run away immediately.

However, when he saw the only door to the east that connected to the Allied Forces Camp in Bursa, Frederick III suddenly rolled his eyes and ordered:

"Jorgen, you take dozens of people and drive a group of prisoners of war to the east gate to block the door. The more people, the better!"

Then Frederick III immediately mounted his horse and ran away with the others without looking back.

And the guard Jorgen, with dozens of unfortunate people, diligently drove the people from the hamburgers...

In the face of the sword, those civilians did not dare to resist. Then, two or three thousand people from Hamburg blocked the gate. When Loew arrived with 500 scouts, he saw a lot of people blocking the door...

Although they were driven away, they also threatened with a sword. But the more the civilians faced the threat of death, the more chaotic they became. Then, two or three thousand people scrambled at the camp gate, and even many people crowded together and got stuck on the camp gate...

After Loew finally cleared the camp gate and entered the camp of the prisoners of war in Hamburg, he was blocked by the thousands of Bursa coalition infantry.

However, among Loew's subordinates, there are many people who carry a few clockwork muskets. Then the group of infantry was easily repulsed by clockwork pistols...

When Loew finally took his men out of the gate of the Hamburg POW camp, Frederick III took his men and ran away a long time ago...

Since he didn't know it was the biggest fish, Frederick III, Loew saw that he couldn't catch up, so he brought people back...

When Loew returned to the battlefield with 500 scout cavalry, he found that Woolf Esbrand had already brought 8,000 troops and drove back the group of Swiss mercenaries.

After all, Swiss mercenaries have a habit of putting recruits and old and weak last. These people are naturally unable to defeat the elites under Woolf Esbrand.

Seeing that the Swiss were unable to stop the seven or eight thousand enemies, Joachim I, who was still calm, panicked. Moreover, he waited left and right until Frederick III did not come back, so he was completely panicked.

So, he ordered the groom to drive the golden carriage to the north to avoid being overtaken by Woolf Esbrand's men.

But at this time, Loew's 500 scout cavalry just arrived. So Loew rushed forward with the musketeers in the scout cavalry, pulled out the springs and fired the carbine, killing all three groups of horses that drove the carriage. Then, the golden command carriage stopped there...

When Woolf Esbrand arrived with the army, the hundreds of guards of King Joachim I were dealt with despite desperate resistance. Then, Woolf Esbrand led someone to capture Joachim I, who was bewildered...

"Huh? What about Frederick III?"

"It was said to go to the west stables to fetch the horse, probably... run away..." Joachim I said honestly.

"What?" At this moment, Love jumped up in shock...

At this time, he already understood - among the knights who escaped, there was Frederick III... Poor Joachim I was abandoned by Frederick III...

Loew wanted to kill himself at this time, knowing that among those people, Frederick III would desperately chase after anything he said. But he came back, and now it's impossible to catch up again. After all, he also saw the horse armor and plate armor thrown off the ground. Obviously, the other party is running lightly, and it is very difficult to catch up...

Woolf Esbrand also understood - two big fish, only one was caught, and the other ran away...
