After receiving the mission from Boniz, Sivag's face looked very ugly. He also knew the virtues of his subordinates. After several battles, those who survived were not elite soldiers in a hundred battles, but escaped experts. However, because he was dependent on others, he was not easy to refuse. Moreover, if he succeeded in showing weakness, there was indeed a possibility of victory.
In desperation, Siwag had to take 3,000 "escape experts" to the eastern region to provoke.
After coming to the eastern part of West Friesland, Siwag and his men performed their true colors. These escape experts were very cautious in the battle. Even when they attacked a small town, everyone rushed to fall behind...
Yes, they were rushing to fall behind. As for the people who rushed to the front, they were all unlucky people who came out together. Because they cherished their lives, when fighting with some militias in small towns, the Westfrisian Resistance Army soldiers did not work much. Often, 3,000 people fought dozens of people, which took a long time. Moreover, the defeated militias were mostly frightened by the momentum of these 3,000 escape experts. After they retreated, the escape experts started to chase them. This situation of dogs chasing chickens is the favorite of these Westfrisian Resistance Army soldiers. Because the enemy was busy escaping their lives, rather than fighting to the death, the casualties caused to them were the least...
After several battles, although some towns were captured and a lot of money and food were seized, the efficiency was not high. The scouts sent by the Saxons also hid in the dark and observed the poor performance of the Westfriesian Resistance Army.
In fact, Sivag also studied in Texel for a while and knew the importance of military discipline. If they really issued strict orders and forced them, the remnants of these Sifriesan Resistance Army would not be so bad.
However, this time, he came to show weakness. Therefore, he ignored his subordinates who were busy saving their lives and even encouraged them.
Under Sivague's indulgence, the "escape experts" were busy competing for bad things, looking even weaker...
The Saxon scout reported the poor performance of the Westfriesian Resistance Army to General Hus, the Saxonian guard in Groningen, and suggested that the Saxon army attack and eliminate the army.
However, General Hus was very cautious. He was not worried that Sivag's army would hide its strength, but that the East Friesland would stab him in the back when he attacked.
After repeated thinking, Hus finally made a decision - he sent Groningen's only 500 heavy cavalry to attack Syvag's 3,000 "escape experts". The main force of the Saxon army was still firmly guarding Groningen.
Then, 500 heavy armored knights, led a group of recruits, and left the city...
Unexpectedly, although Sivag showed weakness, he did a good job of reconnaissance. During his time as Marin's prisoner of war, he learned to reconnaissance carefully. Therefore, along the way, his reconnaissance cavalry spread far away.
After the 500 heavy cavalry in Groningen left the city, Sivague's reconnaissance cavalry quickly discovered it and hurriedly reported it. The marching speed of the heavy cavalry was very slow, not much faster than that of the infantry. However, the reconnaissance cavalry were all light cavalry and had a fast speed.
So Siwag received news early on that the enemy's heavy cavalry attacked.
Then, in order to act in the whole set, he deliberately placed the battlefield outside a town with relatively complete defense facilities. In the town, he also sent people to prepare. For example, the roads connecting with the outside world were blocked, leaving only one exit.
Sivag deliberately pretended not to know the appearance of the enemy, pulled the team out of the town, and "meeted" the 500 Saxon heavy cavalry very close to the town...
Then, Sivague didn't even fight, and took the lead in running away and fled to the town...
His 3,000 "escape experts" were not outdone. Although they were infantrymen, they all competed with Liu Xiang and Bolt. Although the 500 Saxon heavy cavalry accelerated their horses, they had no choice but to face the enemy who escaped so quickly. Except for the unlucky guy who escaped because he was sprained and unfortunately trampled to death by the Saxon heavy cavalry horses, everyone else successfully escaped back to the town and sealed the only exit in the town with stones...
The heavy cavalry cannot be used in places with complex terrain, and the previous charges and war horses were exhausted, and the knights themselves were also tired.
In desperation, the Saxon Knights had to dismount and surrounded the town...
Because the war horses were really not suitable for charging, the Saxon Knights simply wore a full set of plate armor, held two-handed swords, and started to attack on foot after resting.
However, the vulgar Sivag spread all the roads in the town with stones and bricks and other debris. After the plate-armored knights rushed into the town, they found that they could not rush up. Because, under their feet, they were not flat ground, but damaged streets with many obstacles...
At this time, Sivag took out the nemesis of the Plate Armor Knight - the Match Rope...
Although Sivague had not many mesh guns, there were still 20. So, the Saxon Plate Armor Knight who rushed in was injured by more than a dozen...
In desperation, the Saxon Knights had to withdraw from the town with their injured companions...
The next morning, the knights had enough food and drink and were ready to attack again, but after rushing in, they were stunned to find that the town was empty...
It turned out that in the middle of the night, Sivag and his men fled...
The heavy cavalry was not suitable for pursuing the escaped enemy. In desperation, the Saxon Knights had to retreat to Groningen in disappointment...
General Hus felt something incredible when he heard about this:
"Are they defeated on purpose?"
General Hus did not believe in the failure of the West Friesian Resistance Army in Sivag. Because the other party did not suffer any losses and could completely defend the town.
However, the other party ran away, which forced Hus to suspect that the other party was deliberately running away, attracting him to send someone to chase him.
The more Hus thought about it, the more he felt that this was possible, so he sent a hundred auxiliary cavalry, that is, the light cavalry, and sent them to investigate to see if the opponent had really retreated. In addition, the main thing was to observe the enemy's behavior when retreating.
Hus was not that bad commander. He knew that if the enemy retreated in an orderly manner, it might be a trap, and if it retreated in a noisy manner and had a messy pace, it should have really fled...
The light cavalry sent out quickly brought back the news that the enemy ran away in a mess. Moreover, when they ran away, it seemed as if there were jackals, tigers and leopards chasing them behind them, and they all looked panicked...
How could they know that when Marin made suggestions to Charles II, he had already designed this kind of "rush to escape" plot...
Before leaving, Sivag took 3,000 escape experts to practice this disorderly escape plot...
When Sivag received the information sent by the other party to observe, he began to order everyone to run away. Of course, he still had 200 elite soldiers around him. If those light cavalry dared to chase and kill, they could handle it.
Therefore, when everyone was performing escape, the periphery was relatively scattered, but in the core area, Sivag brought 200 elite troops to prepare for battle at any time.
Fortunately, the Saxony Light Cavalry did not attack rashly, but went back to report the news directly...
