The Rise of the European Emperor

After Siwager received Bonitz's task, his face was very ugly. He also knew the virtues of his gang. After several battles, the ones who survived were not elites who survived a hundred battles, but experts who escaped for their lives. However, because he was relying on others, he was not easy to refuse. Moreover, if showing weakness succeeds, there is indeed a possibility of victory.

In desperation, Sivag had to take 3,000 "escape experts" to the eastern region to provoke.

After arriving in the eastern part of West Frisland, Sivag took his men and performed a performance in character. This group of escape experts, in the battle, very cherish their lives. Even if it is to attack a small town, everyone is scrambling to fall behind...

Yes, scrambling to get behind. As for the people who rushed to the front, they were all unlucky ones who were launched together. Because of their life, those West Frisian resistance soldiers did not do much when fighting the militia in some small towns. Often 3,000 people beat dozens of people, which takes a long time. Moreover, most of the defeated militiamen were frightened by the momentum of these 3,000 escape experts. After they retreated, those escape experts vigorously chased after them. This kind of situation is the case of these West Frisian resistance soldiers. their favorite. Because, the enemy is busy running for their lives, not desperately, causing them the least casualties...

After a few battles, although they captured some towns and grabbed a lot of money and grain, the efficiency was really not high. The scouts sent by the Saxons, also hiding in the shadows, observed the poor performance of the West Frisian resistance.

In fact, Sivag also studied on Texel Island for a period of time and knew the importance of military discipline. 【】If a strict order is really issued to persecute them, the remnants of the West Frisian resistance army will not perform so badly.

However, this time, he came to show weakness. Therefore, for those subordinates who are busy saving their lives, they are not concerned at all, and even encouraged.

Under Sivag's connivance, those "escape experts" were busy with each other and looked even weaker...

The Saxon scouts reported the poor performance of the West Frisian Resistance to General Huss, the Saxon garrison in Groningen, and advised the Saxon army to attack and destroy the army.

However, General Hus was cautious. He was not worried about the hidden strength of Siwager's army, but worried that the East Frisian country would stab him in the back when he attacked.

After much deliberation, Hus finally made a decision - he sent the only 500 heavy cavalry in Groningen to attack the 3000 "escape experts" in Sivager. The main force of the Saxon army is still firmly in Groningen.

Then, 500 heavily armored knights, with a group of levies, left the city...

Unexpectedly, although Sivag showed weakness, he did a good job in reconnaissance. During his time as Marin's prisoner of war, he learned to scout carefully. Therefore, along the way, his scout cavalry were scattered far away.

After Groningen's 500 heavy cavalry went out of the city, Siwager's scout cavalry soon found it and hurriedly reported it. The marching speed of heavy cavalry is very slow, and not much faster than that of infantry. But the scout cavalry are light cavalry and fast.

As a result, Sivag received the news of the enemy's heavy cavalry attack early.

Then, in order to act in a full 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 are blocked, leaving only one exit.

Siwager deliberately pretended not to know the presence of the enemy, and pulled the team out of the town, very close to the town,

"Encountered" with the 500 Saxon heavy cavalry...

Then, Siwag didn't even fight, he took the lead to escape, and fled into the town...

The 3,000 "escape experts" under him also showed no weakness. Although they were infantry, they all competed with Liu Xiang and Bolt when they escaped. Although the 500 Saxon heavy cavalry accelerated their horses, they were helpless in the face of an enemy who escaped so quickly. Except for the unlucky one who escaped with a sprained foot and was unfortunately trampled to death by a horse of the Saxon heavy cavalry, everyone else escaped back to the town successfully and blocked the only exit in the town with stones...

Heavy cavalry cannot be used in places with complex terrain, and the previous charge, the horses are already exhausted, and the knights themselves are also tired.

In desperation, the Saxon knights had to dismount and surrounded the town...

Because warhorses are really not suitable for charging, after the Saxon knights rested, they simply wore a full set of plate armor, holding two-handed swords, and began to attack on foot.

However, the wretched Sivag scattered all the roads in the town with debris such as stones and bricks. After the plate knights rushed into the town, they found that they could not get up. Because under their feet is not flat ground, but a destroyed street with many obstacles...

At this time, Sivag took out the nemesis of plate knights - the arquebus...

Although the arquebuses Sivag carried were not many, there were 20 of them. So, the Saxon plate knight who rushed in was injured more than a dozen...

In desperation, the Saxon knights had to withdraw from the town with their injured companions...

Early the next morning, the knights were full and 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 fled with his men...

Heavy cavalry was not suitable for chasing fleeing enemies, and in desperation, the Saxon knights had no choice but to withdraw to Groningen...

When General Hus heard about this situation, he felt a little incredible:

"Did they lose the battle on purpose?"

General Huss was not very convinced of the defeat of the West Frisian resistance of Sivag. Because the other party has nothing to lose and can completely defend the town.

However, the other party escaped, so Hus had to suspect that the other party ran away on purpose, attracting himself to send someone to chase.

The more Hus thought about it, the more he felt that there was such a possibility, so he sent a hundred auxiliary cavalry, that is, light cavalry, to investigate and see if the opponent had really withdrawn. In addition, it is mainly necessary to observe the behavior of the enemy when retreating.

Huss is not that bad commander. He knows that if the enemy retreats in an orderly manner, it may be a trap, and if it retreats in a chaotic manner, it should be a real rout...

The light cavalry sent out quickly brought back the news that the enemy had fled in disorder. Moreover, when escaping, it seems that there are wolves, tigers and leopards chasing them, and everyone looks flustered...

How did they know that Marin had already designed this kind of "fleeing for his life" plot when he gave advice to Charles II...

Before he set off, Sivag had rehearsed the plot of this disorderly escape with 3,000 escape experts...

When Sivag received the information that the other party had sent light cavalry to observe, he began to give orders to let everyone run away. Of course, he still had 200 elites by his side. If those light cavalry dared to come after them, they would be able to deal with it.

Therefore, when everyone was performing escape, the periphery was relatively scattered, but in the core area, it was Sivag who was ready to fight at any time with 200 elites.

Fortunately, the Saxon light cavalry did not attack rashly, but went directly back to report the news...

In this way, the report that the West Frisian resistance army was on the verge of collapse and that the entire army was fleeing for their lives was sent to Huss. Then, it was sent to George who was far away in the Principality of Saxony...
