The Rise of the European Emperor

To the southwest of the city of Lübeck, the Elector of Saxony Frederick III led more than 500 Saxon knights, went into battle lightly, one man and two horses, and desperately fled south.

On the edge of the "Elbe-Lübeck Canal", Frederick III found the port of call of the former Bossa coalition, as well as the hundreds of boatmen who remained.

After arriving at this temporary port, Frederick III decisively ordered the boatmen to drive all the ships to the south bank, and at the same time transport his men and war horses there.

After reaching the south bank of the canal, Frederick III ordered that all the ships be set on fire to avoid being used by the pursuers. As for those boatmen, they were all dismissed.

When Loew, with five hundred scouts, followed the traces and chased after him again, he saw the burning ships on the opposite side. Obviously, the other side blocked the road. Looking for a boat at this time, even if it is found, it is difficult to transport hundreds of cavalry and war horses together. Therefore, Loew will definitely not be able to catch up with Frederick III and his party. In desperation, Loew had to take people back.

On the battlefield, after Woolf Esbrand took control of the golden carriage, he was met with a frantic counterattack by the enemy. Fortunately, the 8,000 veterans he brought were all elites, resisting the momentum of the enemy's counterattack.

Seeing that those people were going to counterattack, Woolf Esbrand decided decisively-pull Joachim I out, put the knife on his neck, and threaten the enemies who counterattacked.

However, because the Elector Frederick III of Saxony ran away, even if Joachim I was pulled out, it would not be convincing...

Moreover, Woolf Esbrand knew very well that Frederick III was the chief officer of this coalition...

Depressed, Woolf Esbrand suddenly saw the gorgeous silk robe that Frederick III had replaced on the carriage, so he asked:

"This is left by the Elector Frederick?"

"Well, yes." Joachim I was a prisoner at this time, and he was very honest to avoid bad luck.

Woolf Esbrand rolled his eyes, suddenly beckoned a few guards to come over, and asked Joachim I:

"Which one of them looks like Elector Frederick?"

Joachim I didn't understand Woolf Esbrand's intentions, but he still pointed to a bearded guard honestly and said:

"He's more like."

Then, under the stunned eyes of Joachim I, Woolf Esbrand changed the bearded guard into Frederick III's gorgeous silk robe and a golden crown. If you don't pay attention, it looks like Frederick III from a distance...

Then, the bearded guard who pretended to be Frederick III, together with Joachim I, was taken to the top of the golden carriage, and a sword was placed around his neck...

Woolf Esbrand also stood on the top of the golden carriage and shouted to the Bersa coalition soldiers who were still resisting with a soil horn:

"The soldiers of Brandenburg and Saxony, your elector has been captured by me! If you continue to resist, I will cut your elector!" After speaking, Woolf Esbrand He really picked up the knife and made a gesture of beheading, which scared Joachim I to close his eyes.

And the bodyguard who was ordered by Woolf Esbrand to play Frederick III wisely took the opportunity to lower his head, looking like he was frightened. In fact, he bowed his head, afraid that the enemy who approached would recognize his true face. He bowed his head like this, and with his similar body shape, it was difficult for others to distinguish...

Woolf Esbrand then shouted to the Swiss mercenaries with an earth horn:

"Swiss mercenary warriors, you fought for money. Now, both of your employers have themselves been captured, and no one pays you any more commissions. What are you fighting? Our East Frisian army treats prisoners favorably. , will never kill captives, nor mistreat captives. So, surrender..."

...

Before Woolf Esbrand spoke, the battlefield was in chaos. The Swiss mercenaries and the Brandenburg army in the front row were scrambling with Marin's army, not paying attention to what was going on in the rear.

And the Saxon army, which had just driven out the Brandenburg and Saxon civilians in the front row, was regrouping.

After hearing Woolf Esbrand's call, the Bersa coalition soldiers who were fighting in the front row turned around in surprise to observe the situation. And Marin's army, attracted by the shouting, suspended the offensive.

Those tall Bursa coalition soldiers were surprised to find that the golden command carriage of their army was indeed controlled by the enemy. And the two "electors" have been put on their necks by knives...

Immediately, the soldiers of the Bursa coalition were all fried...

Nima, the leader was caught, and a knife was put on his neck, so he still made a P?

The soldiers in the back of the army who wanted to take back their boss also cast their fears and dared not move, for fear that Woolf Esbrand would be unhappy and cut off his boss.

Marin was also very happy to see Woolf Essbrand succeeded. So he took the opportunity to shout:

"Put down your weapons! Surrender without killing!"

When the East Frisian soldiers around him heard that the boss took the lead, they shouted in unison:

"Put down your weapons! Surrender without killing!"

"Put down your weapons! Surrender without killing!"

...

The Bursa coalition soldiers, who were startled by the neat shouts, hesitated for a moment...

The Brandenburg army, which was destroyed by Marin's army of three thousand knights, was the worst. Because the elites are gone, the remaining infantry naturally have no hope. In addition, the boss was captured alive, and a knife was put on his neck, and those infantry officers were even more confident.

As a result, many Brandenburg infantry officers took the lead in laying down their weapons. Then, the soldiers around them followed suit and put down their weapons and surrendered.

On the side of the Saxon army, there was no hope at all, plus the boss of his family was "frightened" with a knife on his neck, so he naturally felt that there was no hope. So, they also put down their weapons.

Only the Swiss mercenaries were a little overwhelmed by this. Although, they did not lose the wind in the battle with the Marin army. Now, however, the soldiers of the Brandenburg and Saxon armies on the left and right have surrendered. In front of them is Marin's 20,000 main force, and behind them are 8,000 elites led by Woolf Esbrand. I just want to go, but there is no way to escape...

So, when Marin sent people to take over those prisoners of war from the Brandenburg and Saxon troops, the Swiss shrank their defenses and formed a large self-defense phalanx with all four directions facing outwards, refusing to surrender to Marin .

However, as the soldiers of Brandenburg and Saxony on both flanks were escorted aside, the area around the Swiss suddenly became empty. And more than 3,000 arquebusiers under Marin took the opportunity to enter the camp, raised their arquebuses, and aimed at about 18,000 Swiss mercenaries who refused to surrender...

At the same time, tens of thousands of English mercenaries in Sacra also drew out 8,000 people to surround the Swiss mercenaries together...

Seeing that the Swiss mercenaries were trapped in the camp, Marin breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"We are victorious!"
