Chapter 470: Catch one, run away one
At this time, on the command car inlaid with gold, Frederick III and Jockim I were anxiously observing the situation, and at the same time, they made some adjustments to try to regain the situation.
After all, it is dawn now, with the size of 40,000 to 50,000 troops of the Bossa coalition, as long as it stabilizes its position, it may not lose.
However, just as the two were standing in the golden carriage and looking into the distance, Woolf Esbrand, with his eight thousand elite soldiers and 500 scouts who had helped clear the road, came to the golden command carriage with great momentum.
At this time, Frederick III was commanding his men:
"Jogen, go to the right wing and tell the Saxon warriors that all the knights leave the crowd and look for horses at the stables to the west. It's dawn now, and it's just right for the knights to charge. At least, let's disperse the running crowd before talking about it..."
"Yes, sir!" The Saxon guard named Jogen had just gotten on his horse and turned his head to head south. Then, he was almost scared by the eight thousand men of the Second Legion who were driving here with great momentum.
He immediately dismounted, rolled and crawled back to the side of the Golden Commander's carriage, and shouted anxiously at Frederick III who was about to return to the carriage:
"Sir, thousands of enemy troops came to the southwest. It seems that they were coming for the carriage!"
Frederick III had been paying attention to the east before, but did not pay attention to the southwest. At this time, he turned his head and looked at it, and was so scared that he almost fell.
"This...this is obviously here to catch us..."
Thinking of the 100,000 pounds of silver ransom that King Richard I of England had paid, and the miserable end of his brother-in-law, Hans, King of Denmark, had to ced the two principalities after being captured. At this moment, Frederick III had the urge to escape...
However, he also knew that once he ran away, the coalition forces of tens of thousands of people would collapse.
However, if you don’t run away and be caught by the enemy, you will be done. After all, if the coach is captured, how can you still be beaten?
So, after thinking about it, Frederick III decisively took off his gorgeous robe and changed into a set of plate armor that looked beautiful but was not actually heavy.
Then he sent people first to ask the Swiss to divide thousands of people to intercept the eight thousand soldiers of the Eastern Friesian Second Legion. Then he pretended to be calm and returned to the golden command car and said to Jokiem I:
"Jokim, there are a bunch of enemies behind us!"
"What?" Jokiem I jumped up in fear. If these enemies rushed to the command car, wouldn't they be captured?
"Don't worry, I'll call up the Saxon Knights now, ride war horses in the stables to the west, and then lead people to charge and destroy the group of sneak attackers! As for this side, you command first, and I'll be back in a while!" Then, Frederick III left the carriage with a calm look on his face, followed hundreds of Saxon guards toward the stables to the west.
At this time, Saxon guard Jogen, with hundreds of Saxon knights, hurriedly ran out of the scrambled formation of the Saxon army, and behind the 8,000 warriors of the Second Legion, he went to the stable west of the camp...
The horses of the Bossa coalition were all in the stables in the west. When Frederick III arrived at the stables with one hundred guards, Jogen hurried to the stables with more than four hundred Saxon knights from the southeast...
"There are more than 500 knights now, and you can indeed attack the group of enemies behind..." said Cong, the chief guard of Frederick III, on the side.
As soon as he finished speaking, he was whipped by Frederick III on his face:
"Idiot, do you want me to die? Didn't you see that there were seven or eight thousand enemy troops? Moreover, I looked at those people like elite veterans. Even when I was rushing, my pace was not chaotic. Do we want to commit suicide by attacking them?"
"Then what do we do now?"
"Open the camp gate in the west and we run away from the West..." Frederick III thought for a while. It seemed that after his uncle Albresit was defeated, he ran away with hundreds of knights. And his cousin George successfully ran away with his cavalry many times... Well... This is very necessary to learn...
So Frederick III ordered the guards to take off the heavy horse armor from the horses, take off the trousers of the plate armor (because the trousers of the plate armor affected the horses to get on and off the horses), throw away the rifle, carry only the light swords worn by them, and then hurried out from the West Gate with both horses...
After leaving the camp, Frederick III brought more than 500 Saxon knights into the camp where tens of thousands of Hamburg prisoners of war were placed.
There are now thousands of Bossa soldiers guarding here. Frederick III originally wanted to take these thousands of people to run away, but after seeing that they were all infantrymen, they lost their thoughts.
At this time, Woolf Esbrand also received information that hundreds of people wearing plate armor ran westward. Woolf Esbrand was shocked and felt that a big fish had run away. However, he did not see the nobles in silk robes running away, so he thought Frederick III and Jockim I were still in the golden carriage.
However, he also valued the person who ran away. After all, being able to run away with hundreds of men in plate armor must be a big fish.
So he found Shaul's deputy, Löw, and asked him to take 500 scouts to pursue...
Frederick III was struggling to run away with the thousands of infantrymen. Suddenly, his hands came down to report:
"Sir, the enemy sent hundreds of cavalry to pursue him!"
"What?" Frederick III was shocked and prepared to get on his horse and run away immediately.
However, seeing the only door connecting the Bossa Allied Forces camp in the east, Frederick III suddenly turned his eyes and ordered:
"Jogen, 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 got on the horse and ran away without looking back.
And the guard Yogen, with dozens of unlucky guys, worked hard to drive away the villagers from the hamburger...

Then, two or three thousand Hamburg civilians blocked the gate. When Lof arrived with 500 scouts, he saw many people blocking the gate...
Although they drove away and used swords to threaten, the more chaotic the civilians faced the threat of death. Then, two or three thousand people were in a mess at the camp gate, and many people even crowded together and got stuck on the camp gate...
After Lof finally cleared the camp gate and entered the camp of Hamburg prisoners of war, he encountered the obstacles of thousands of Bossa coalition infantry.
However, many people under Lov's men brought several clockwork muskets. Then, the group of infantry was easily repelled by clockwork muskets...
After Löw finally took his men out of the gate of the Hamburg prisoner-of-war camp, Frederick III had already run away with him...
Since I don't know it was Frederick III, Löw took his people back when he saw that he couldn't catch up...
When Lof returned to the battlefield with 500 scout cavalry, he found that Woolf Esbrand had already brought eight thousand troops to repel the group of Swiss mercenaries behind him.
After all, Swiss mercenaries have always been accustomed to putting new recruits and old people at the end. These people can naturally not beat the elites under Woolf Esbrand.
Seeing that the Swiss could not stop the seven or eight thousand enemies, Jokiem I, who was originally calm, was panicked. Moreover, he waited for Frederick III to not come back, so he was completely panicked.
So he ordered the groom to quickly drive the golden carriage and flee north to avoid being caught up by Woolf Esbrand's men.
But at this time, Löv's 500 reconnaissance cavalry arrived. So Löv rushed forward with the musketeers in the reconnaissance cavalry, pulled out the clockwork ignition carbine, and killed all three groups of horses that drove the carriage. Then, the Golden Commander Carriage stopped there...
When Woolf Esbrand arrived with his army, hundreds of Jokeem I's guards were still dealt with despite fighting to the death. Then, Woolf Esbrand led people to catch Jokeem I, who was confused...
"Well? Where is Frederick III?"
"I said I went to the stables in the west to get the horses, probably... I ran away..." Jockim I said honestly.
"What?" At this time, Löv jumped up in shock...
At this time, he had already understood that among the escaped knights, there was Frederick III... Poor Jockim I was abandoned by Frederick III...
Löv wanted to beat him to death at this time, to know that Frederick III was among those people, and he said he would chase him to death. But he came back, and now he would not be able to catch up. After all, he also saw the horse armor and plate armor thrown on the ground. Obviously, the other party ran away lightly and was very difficult to chase...
