Everything was so sudden that even Duke Ulrich and Wolf, who were preparing to be the Nemesis, had no time to react.
Seeing that the opportunity was rare, the knights under Duke Ulrich took advantage of the opportunity before the enemy turned around and launched a charge directly. Duke Ulrich had to shout in a hurry:
"Catch the living, I want to catch the living! I won't give a commission if there are too many people dead!"
Perhaps because he disliked his voice, Ulrich, Duke of Württemberg, simply asked his subordinates to shout together:
"Catch the living, I want to catch the living! I won't give a commission if there are too many people dead!"
"Catch the living, I want to catch the living! I won't give a commission if there are too many people dead!"
...
This is definitely a foolish move, because after Duke Ulrich's men shouted, the knights who had already launched the charge hesitated. Fortunately, their enemies were too scumbag...
Because of unpreparedness, and the European army of this era is accustomed to putting the weakest behind. Therefore, with just one charge, the troops behind more than 30,000 peasant troops were directly destroyed.
Fortunately, the words that Duke Ulrich asked his men to shout worked, and the plate-armored knights who had completed a charge shouted:
"Put down your weapons! Hold your head and squat down! Hold your head and squat down! Surrender and don't kill!"
Then, a large number of peasant soldiers were frightened by the aggressive knights, put down their weapons, and squatted down with their heads...
At this time, the core force of the peasant uprising army in front finally reacted-
"No, the enemy has seized our retreat!" Kasbal, the leader of the rebel army, panicked.
But after several loyal persuasions, he finally calmed down and commanded the elite troops to prepare for fighting against the Württemberg army.
Although the old and weak behind the peasant army were easily defeated by the Württemberg army, they squatted down with their heads in their arms, but they blocked the way forward of the Württemberg army.
In this way, this gave Kasbar the opportunity to organize the army to fight back calmly. When the Wutemberg army took away the old and weak peasant soldiers who were squatting down and surrendering in the back row, Kasbar had organized the most elite tens of thousands of troops and set up a formation, intending to fight with the Wutemberg army.
Because the Württemberg army was bound by Duke Ulrich, they asked them to try their best to catch them alive. As a result, the Württemberg army had a stronger combat effectiveness, but they fought with the elite peasant army. Of course, the Württemberg army did not suffer any losses because of its good equipment.
At this time, Duke Ulrich was impatient. He rushed forward and shouted:
"What are you waiting for? Kill Casbar!"
But soon, he realized that this was not a leak of the news that he had sent someone to undercover? If someone knew that he deliberately sent someone to lure Casbar and his group to kill the nobles, he would be done. So, he immediately changed his words:
"Whoever killed Kasbar, I will give him the fief knight!"
Wolf and the other two understood that Duke Ulrich was sending a few signals to himself. Taking advantage of the chaos in the battlefield, Wolf took off his cloak symbolizing the officer on his plate armor, pulled out the cherry beard from his hat, grabbed a handful of soil, and smeared it on his face...
Then, he signaled the other four people not to move, and he took the opportunity to approach Kasbar, who was standing on the platform and directing the battle...
"Hey!" Wolf shouted, raised his hand and cut off Kasbar's head in front of tens of thousands of people...
Then, the entire battlefield became silent...
Wolf took the opportunity to squeeze:
"Casbar is dead, let's surrender!"
Suddenly, the morale of more than 20,000 peasant soldiers who were still resisting plummeted, and many people were desperate. Many peasant soldiers who were standing in front of them, learned that Kasbar was killed, and involuntarily put down their weapons...
But the best friends in Casbar were angry:
"You bastard, how dare you kill the leader, I want to kill you!"
After saying that, he had a very good relationship with Kasbar and dozens of officers who were officers in the army rushed to Wolf with swords...
But Wolf was not stupid, and did not stand there and wait for the other party to chop him down. Instead, he carried Casbar's head and ran towards the manor. The dozens of blacksmiths who were chasing him were blocked by many soldiers, but they failed to catch up with him in time. There was no way. When Casbar organized the resistance, he arranged his close friends to lead the troops in front to resist, and the back was very empty.
Wolf held Casbar's head and ran directly to the small castle that had not been able to be beaten down in the valley. When the owner of the castle saw that Wolf was his own, he used a hanging basket to pick him up.
Seeing that Kasbar was killed, Duke Ulrich was not a fool, so he immediately ordered a general attack.
Thousands of Württemberg officials shouted together, "Surrender and not kill", and rushed forward...
Seeing the other leader being killed, the morale of the Württemberg officers was high at this time. On the contrary, the morale of the peasant uprising army fell to a low point.
After a fight, except for a small number of people who were still resisting, most of the other peasant uprising soldiers put down their weapons and surrendered...
In this battle, if we counted it, the only one of the earliest members of the "Poor Conrad" in Kasbar, with a total of more than 3,000 people. However, the Württemberg official army dispatched 400 knights and 5,000 North Sea infantry to focus on attacking those stubborn resisters. As a result, more than half of the more than 3,000 core members of the "Poor Conrad" were killed, and half were injured and lost their resistance...
In addition, there were many peasant soldiers who trampled on each other when the army collapsed, and more than 2,000 were killed or injured. In the end, the Württemberg official army captured a total of 27,000 intact peasant soldiers and more than 3,000 wounded people. Less than 1,800 people were killed in battle...
There is no way, the head coach was cut off in front of everyone, which was too harmful to morale. Not to mention a loose peasant army, even a regular army could easily collapse.
...
In the evening, after attending a welcome banquet held by the castle owner Baron Wademar, Duke Ulrich was a little frowning in his guest room. Baron Wademar is a neutral noble in the Duke of Württemberg, and is not loyal to Duke Ulrich, but he does not object to him. Such a neutral noble is optional for Duke Ulrich. Therefore, he is also on the list of targets for the peasant army to eliminate. Of course, he was lucky. This time he happened to encounter a large army and was not captured by the peasant army. If the army was late for a long time, everything would be hard to say.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! At this time, Wolf, who had escaped into the castle after cutting Casbar's head during the day, stood in front of Duke Ulrich. He had been exposed. After escaping into the castle during the day, he had to reveal his identity to Baron Wademar. Then, his identity became clear. Of course, even if he died, he would not admit that he was the commander of the rebel heavy cavalry. Anyway, when he was killing Casbar, he wiped his face with yellow mud and deliberately spoke without a normal voice.
"Sir Duke, what are you worried about? We won a lot this time." Wolf was a little confused.
In the face of his confidant, Duke Ulrich did not hide it:
"Marin, the Great Duke of Beihai, and I have formed a prisoner-of-war purchase and sale agreement, but now I only have 27,000 intact prisoners. In order to deter those unruly people, thousands of people will be executed publicly. In this way, I can only sell up to 26,000 people to Grand Duke Malin. According to the calculation of one strong man per household, 26,000 people can sell 780,000 Guerden gold coins (30 gold coins per household)! This is not enough to repay my debt of millions of gold coins!"
Wolf said strangely:
"No, didn't the rebels plunder property worth more than 500,000 Goulden gold coins? Now it's all in your hands..."
Duke Ulrich glared at him and said:
"What do you know? After the victory of this war, I need to take half of the trophy to reward the army and pay commissions!"
Wolf scratched his head and said:
"That's enough. Half of the spoils also have more than 250,000 gold coins. Adding to that 780,000 is enough to pay the debt..."
The Duke of Ulrich roared angrily:
"You idiot, can't I gonna be there?"
Obviously, the big-handed Duke Ulrich is not willing to pay off all his income to repay his debts, because he himself needs a lot of money to maintain huge expenses.
Wolf finally understood what Duke Ulrich meant - he thought there were too few peasants captured...
Sure enough, Duke Ulrich cursed:
"You wastes, why don't you persuade that fool Kasbal to catch more farmers to join the rebels? If you sell them to Grand Duke Marin, I will pay... I won't worry about the next expenses..."
"I have advised you, but that bastard Casbar disliked those farmers who were not strong enough to waste food. As long as they were strong, they would not collect them..." Wolf said aggrievedly.
"Damn it, now the trouble is coming! Please help me think of ways and think about how to increase prisoners of war!" Duke Ulrich said furiously.
Wolf thought for a long time and suddenly came up with an idea:
