Marshal Boniz led an army of less than 10,000 people to fight and retreat, retreating all the way westward. In fact, during the day the next day, the morale of the Gedes army recovered and one could fight.

However, this is useless. Because when he retreated from Groningen in a hurry, Bonitz's army did not bring a grain of food. If there were hundreds of people, it might be possible to find a village to solve it. However, he led nearly 10,000 troops...

Therefore, even if the soldiers were no longer panicked, Bonitz, as a qualified commander, knew very well that his first task was to find food so that he would not let tens of thousands of troops go hungry.

What's worse is that Zieg's 5,000 Swiss mercenaries who were responsible for leaving the city and ambushing the Saxony coalition forces in circles, only brought enough 5,000 subordinates to eat a 10-day food. Therefore, Marshal Boniz could not go to Zieg for help to obtain food.

For this reason, Bonitz didn't bother to fight with the Saxony coalition and headed west to find towns with food to obtain supplies. However, in order to prepare for war, Bonitz had already received most of the food from the towns near Groningen into the city of Groningen. Now, he shot himself in the foot...

In desperation, Bonitz forced to collect the food stored in several small towns on the escape route, but it was only enough to eat for a few days.

So, forced to helplessly, Boniz had to lead his army. After every arrival in a small town, he first arranged a defense line to resist the attack of the Saxony coalition forces. Then, he searched for food in the town. After plundering the food, he immediately looked for the opportunity to retreat and searched for the next town to obtain more food supplies.

A few days later, when Bonitz's army was about to lead to the central region, when Marin and Zieg's army jointly ambushed the town of Malem, the army of the Friesian noble Republic (see "The King of German Mercenaries" Chapter 108), Zieg, who had been moving in the south with his subordinates, suddenly realized something. So Zieg took a horse with several personal soldiers and rode his horse to catch up with Bonitz's main force...

"Captain Zieg, what's the point of coming here now?" Boniz didn't know why Zieg gave up his army and ran to him, so he was a little confused.

"That's right, Lord Bonitz, do you know where the town ahead is?"

"Mahlham, the horse has reported it."

"Yes, Mahlham, I was employed by the Duke of Marin, and it was here that I was ambushed the main army of the Friesian noble republic by using streets and houses..."

Marshal Boniz raised his eyebrows and asked:

"What Captain Zieg means - we also have an ambush in Mallum Town?"

Zieg shook his head and said:

"Impossible. This battle is different from rewards. Last time, our army had 3,000 people and more than 2,000 enemy troops, which was only more than 5,000. Even so, the town of Mahlham could not bear enough. This time, the number of troops on both sides was too large. The other side had 20,000 people, and your main force had nearly 10,000 troops. Such a small town could not set up an ambush at all..."

"Then what do you mean?" Bonitz was a little confused.

"Sir Bonitz, do you know why Duke Marin chose this place to fight an ambush?"

Of course, Bonitz shook his head. How could he know about Marin's detailed deeds?

Zieg nodded and said:

"The main reason is that Mahlham is a major transportation route between West Friesland and east and west, with a Roman Avenue running across the east and west. The most important thing is that Mahlham is surrounded by large swamps in the north and south, and it is impossible to pass through troops. Therefore, even if we cannot ambush in Mahlham, we will be able to arrange troops in this area to resist the Saxony coalition."

"I have seen the local terrain. If you set up a formation on the open space east of the town, you can put 2,000 troops in the front, resist the attack of the Saxony coalition, withstand the attack of the coalition, and destroy the morale of the other party. When the morale of the other party declines, I can lead the troops and suddenly appear from the rear of the enemy and destroy the enemy..."

While talking, the army quickly arrived at Mahlham Town. Boniz briefly observed the terrain of Mahlham Town and had to admit that it was indeed very suitable to block the attack of the Saxony coalition forces.

After all, in addition to the large swamps in the north and south, there is only the small town in the middle. At that time, as long as the middle road is controlled, the Saxony coalition forces can block the way westward.

So, Marshal Boniz led a large army to quickly control the town of Malem, and deployed more than 2,000 troops at the intersection east of the town to block the attack of the coalition forces.

Then, Zieg and his subordinates rushed back, intending to wait for the two armies to collide for a while, and then take their troops to suddenly attack the rear of the Saxony coalition forces, striving to defeat the enemy's main force...

The next day, George arrived with 20,000 troops and launched a fierce attack on the defenders. However, there was only one road in Mahlham Town here, and it was impossible to send troops to detour and encircle from the north and south directions. Therefore, although it had an absolute advantage in military strength, the Saxony coalition was unable to break through the defense line of the Gedes army.

Two days later, George, Duke of Saxony, suddenly began to stop moving at the suggestion of his generals. Why? Because the Saxony people realized that the enemy seemed to have little food. Since the strong attack was difficult to work, it was better to drag it first and consume the other party's food, knowing that the other party automatically collapsed...

In the days that followed, the attack of the Saxony army began to become "high thunder and little raindrops"...

On the fourth day, 5,000 Swiss mercenaries led by Zieg finally arrived at the rear of the Saxony coalition and saw the army of both sides being "fighted fiercely".

But what Zieg didn't know was that the Saxony coalition seemed to have a strong offensive on the surface, but in fact the thunder was loud and the rain was small, so he was just pretending. Only Marshal Boniz, who was guarding the town of Mahlham, felt the perfunctory of the Saxony coalition that had attacked in the past two days. However, he could not send the news to Zieg through the Saxony coalition's front.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! In the absence of clarity, Zieg rashly launched an attack on the rear of the Saxony coalition forces in the "fighting battle"...

At first, the rear of the Saxony coalition was indeed in chaos for a while, and Duke George was also panicked for a while. But then, Duke George was overjoyed because, he knew that these 5,000 people were probably the last trump card of the opponent...

So, George commanded a small number of coalition soldiers to block the Gedes army in the small town of Mahlham, and led the main force to kill Zieg's army...

Ziger was stunned for no reason. He didn't know why the enemy dared to abandon his opponents and instead attacked him with all his strength. However, his long-term excellent military qualities made him immediately ordered his 5,000 troops to form a defensive formation to resist the impact of the main force of the Saxony coalition.

Although the Swiss mercenaries have stronger combat effectiveness, 5,000 Swiss mercenaries suffered heavy losses against the impact of the Saxon elite soldiers with a high armor rate, losing more than 900 people in one day.

Marshal Boniz also saw the crisis of Zieg's army. He knew very well that if Zieg's army was destroyed, the 10,000 people he led could not escape. Because they were short of food... If they really had no food, the other party would definitely win...

In desperation, Marshal Bonitz decided to make the final desperate attempt...

That night, nearly 10,000 troops in Mahlham Town, after eating and drinking, bravely launched a fierce charge at the Saxony Allied Army camp with a spear...

In order to boost morale, Marshal Bonitz personally took the battle and charged with the soldiers.

The passionate shouts resounded through the night sky and also reached the camp of Sieger's Swiss mercenaries...

"That's... Marshal Bonitz's army launched an attack?" Zieg was startled at first, but then he understood. If Marshal Bonitz did not fight his best at this time, and when he was defeated, the Gedes army would be completely defeated...

So, despite his own fatigue and the fatigue of the soldiers, Zieg immediately gathered to raise troops and took advantage of the night to attack the Saxony coalition camp...

Originally, Duke George's Saxon coalition was still very confident in resisting Bonitz's army. Because the narrow terrain of the town of Mahlham not only blocked the offensive of the Saxon coalition, but also hindered the counterattack of Marshal Bonitz's army.

Therefore, as long as the Saxony coalition dispatched 4,000 elite troops and the strong camp, they could steadily block Marshal Bonitz's counterattack.

However, despite his own fatigue, Commander Zieg's army led the remaining 4,000 troops to fight from the east, forming a situation of attacking from the front and back.

Suddenly, the soldiers of the Saxony coalition were a little panicked. They didn't know which army to block first. Moreover, the soldiers led by Marshal Boniz's crazy shouting also affected the morale of the Saxony coalition.

After a night of fierce fighting, Marshal Boniz finally successfully broke through the defense line of the Saxony coalition, broke into the Saxony coalition camp, and defeated the main force of the coalition.

Zieg's more than 4,000 people risked their lives to break through the eastern gate of the coalition forces, which had a huge impact on the Saxony coalition forces.

The Swiss are not good at fighting after all. In the fight against the Saxony coalition forces, the Swiss are ultimately better at it. Moreover, the most elite plate-armored knights in the Saxony army have no place to use their skills in the chaotic camp at night...

By dawn, although more than half of the casualties were paid, Marshal Boniz himself was injured three times. However, the Guedes army finally defeated the Saxony coalition...

But what is amazing is that Duke George seemed to have the help of the gods. At the last moment, he actually took a thousand Saxon knights on war horses. From the northeast direction, Zieg's mercenary group attacked a bloody road and fled...
