Chapter 436： It's a big deal

Charles II chose the 4,000 elite Swiss mercenaries, all elite veterans, and it was no problem dealing with the two thousand Saxon defenders. Even if the number is small, it can be easily done. What's more, it is double the number of people.

It was just that the head of the Sieg, who had always performed well in the selection of soldiers and horses, refused the appointment of the soldiers to East Friesland and gave the opportunity to other Swiss mercenaries.

The head of the Sieg mercenary regiment was very afraid of Marin. You know, by some means learned from Marin, he has now become the head of the star of Swiss mercenaries. Then, as a teacher, Marin, his ability is even stronger. In other words, Captain Sieg ’s ability is only a part of Marin. Marlin with full firepower is the real devil!

Let Zig go to Marin's nest to make trouble, Zig always feels guilty. Therefore, he gave this opportunity to other Swiss mercenary regiments.

It ’s just that Sieg did n’t know that something went wrong with him ...

What happened? Out of the vices of those Swiss mercenaries ...

Although the Swiss mercenaries are brave and warlike, they also have many bad habits. For example, the habit of not keeping captives (mainly not leaving conscripts for conscripts, because that kind of soldier cannot get a ransom). And, like the habit of robbery.

Swiss people like to leave many cuts in their clothes, but that is not for fashion and trend, but for opening a few more pockets on the body, which is convenient for storing the robbed property.

In short, in addition to the powerful combat effectiveness, the Swiss mercenaries have many other faults, and they are by no means good people. Only Zieg ’s mercenary regiment, after stealing the division Marin, emphasized discipline and rarely made trouble.

Instead of Sieg ’s Roman mercenary regiment, it is a traditional Swiss mercenary regiment with strong combat effectiveness, but also very greedy and brutal ...

When first entered East Friesland, the Roman Mercenary Corps did not mess up. After all, as a leader in the mercenary world, the Swiss military literacy is still very good. At least, they know—don’t do anything about moths before they can sneak attack.

After arriving on the west bank of the Ames River, they waited for the ferry boat secretly sent by Groningen. Then, four thousand Swiss mercenaries were sent to the other side by ferry.

At this time, it was still early in the morning. Because the Swiss mercenaries set off at night. Seeing that the Saxony barracks were right in front of him, the other party was probably not awake yet, so the Swiss mercenaries launched an offensive ...

The Saxons did not expect that the other party would dare to cross the border to send troops to attack, so he was caught by surprise. In a panic, hundreds of elite knights of Saxony, led by Bart Lvvarden Ztrell, rushed out of the barracks on horseback.

The Swiss immediately divided their troops and pursued them with instinct, and they instinctively felt that Baron Zival, Leeuwarden, was among the cavalry who rushed out.

Although hundreds of people who rushed out were riding horses, the chasers sent by the Swiss were also riding horses. Because the Swiss occupied the stables of the Saxony barracks.

Soon, hundreds of Swiss mercenaries pursued the horses, encircling Baron Lvwalden and hundreds of elite knights of Saxony in an ordinary manor in East Friesland.

After, more than 800 of the most elite mercenaries launched a strong attack on the Saxons who fled into the manor ...

After half a day of fighting, hundreds of Saxon heavy cavalry were killed in half, and the rest were either injured or captured. As for Zütel, Baron Leeuwarden, it naturally fell into the hands of the Swiss.

Lvreden, Baron Ztl, knew that he was over, and he would definitely not escape. However, he was not willing to die in vain. So, his eyes rolled, and he decided to slap the army in front of him ...

How to pit? It's just inspiring these people to rob East Frisian ...

As Marin ’s old opponent and old friend, Baron Leeuwarden Ztl knew Marin ’s strength and knew Marin ’s character of hatred. Therefore, he knew that if this force looted East Friesland, it would be absolutely impossible to escape revenge. In this way, it also counts itself as revenge.

So he deliberately or unintentionally talked to the Swiss officers and told the Swiss-in the manor, he found a lot of food and various belongings ...

The Swiss really got hooked ...

After a search, the Swiss really found a pile of grain in the manor, as well as many kinds of belongings-such as various coins, silverware and bronzes and other daily necessities. In addition, there are a lot of high-value daily necessities such as salt, oil and cloth.

Because of the high grain output and the large profit of Marin, it is natural to be not stingy about the manor management and serfs under his command. Therefore, every manor under Marin is rich in materials.

This time the Swiss immediately became jealous. In the face of wealth, they forgot to ask Charles II to refrain from making trouble, throw away the spear, and put the coins, gold, silver and bronze on them. As for the cloth, it is directly wrapped around the body.

Wait until the valuables were loaded, they began to loot high-value materials such as salt, oil and food. However, there was more than a thousand bags of rye stored in a single manor, and they had to force the serfs in the manor to transport the grain to the Ames River, and then find a boat to transport it back to the West Bank ... Yes, these more than a thousand bags of rye are only needed for daily consumption in the manor, and they are all old grain from the previous year. If they go to Guancang in Aurich and Lyle County, they may be scared to death ...

After meeting this large group of troops and large forces, they reported the proceeds and the head of the group Roman. Roman was also a greedy man, and he heard such a big gain when he heard of a small manor. So, after the whole army crossed the Ames River, he ordered a large-scale robbery on the ground of East Friesland on the west bank of the Ames River with hundreds of square kilometers ...

Then, more than a dozen manors on the west coast of East Friesland ~ www.novelhall.com ~ were all planted. A total of 10,000 bags of rye, coins worth 1,000 gold coins, 2,000 pounds of salt, and various silver and bronze items, as well as high-value materials such as cloth and cooking oil, were all snatched by this group of Swiss mercenaries.

In addition, they also took 50 horses, 100 cattle and 500 sheep ...

This is not counted, some of the young mansions of the manor were also killed when they resisted, and the total number of deaths reached as many as 96 people ...

Of course, Roman is also afraid of being accused by the Gede people. Therefore, for those robbed cattle and sheep, he sent people to kill them and make them into dried meat. The grain was also hidden in the temporarily abandoned fortress of Marin in the border area. Moreover, Roman also sent someone to contact the grain merchant and came to transport the grain. As long as this batch of grain is shot,

After, the unlucky Leeuwarden Bart Ztl was also killed by Roman. Therefore, what he brought back was not the "best living person" requested by Charles II, but a corpse ...

Before his death, Baron Zvalter of Leeuwarden told Roman very confidently-"I will be waiting for you below, I believe you are not far from death!"

Roman didn't believe Zittel's words, because, because he had killed so many people, there was no one to bring him to **** ...

But what he didn't know was that the spy that Kohler had left on the west bank of the Ames, recorded all this, and inquired about the origin of the Roman mercenary ...

The Roman Mercenary Corps was involved in something, and it was a big thing. Only, Roman didn't know it. Moreover, he did not speak to Charles II, Duke of Geddes. For this reason, Charles II was also kept in the dark ...
