Shortly after he watched Jim set off from the river bridge southwest of Lübeck, Marin immediately turned his head and ordered:
"Go personally and help me send a war book to the Bossa coalition camp!"
At this time the Bossa Allied Forces, the last batch of camps had just been demolished and crossed the Hexi from the south of the city. In fact, in order to wait for Marin's army to chase out of the city, the Bossa Allied Forces struggled for a week before the camp was demolished. Moreover, the strikers who first demolished the camp westward were still far from Hamburg.
Because, Frederick III's original intention was not to attack Hamburg, but to wait for Marin's army to fight out of the city. So, looking at the big army gone, it hasn't gone far ...
In the temporary camp between Lübeck and Hamburg, Joakim took a sip of wine and then said depressed:
"That kid actually refrained from chasing him out, which really disappointed me!"
Frederick III shook his head and said with regret:
"It seems that the other party may see this as a trap. So, he probably intends to give up burger and protect Lübeck ..."
"That's nothing. After we beat Hamburg, we will make a profit. After all, Hamburg wealth is second only to Lübeck. Moreover, after burgers were robbed, there would be no grievances for robbing those Hansa merchants. "
"That's true! I guess, if I robbed the burger again, how could I grab the money worth several million Gulden coins, not only can offset the cost of sending troops, but also make a fortune!"
"Haha, this is so pleasant!" Jokim I laughed.
"By the way, Joakim, you should pay attention when attacking the city. Let the Swiss contribute more in the early stage and consume the strength of Hamburg. Wait until later, the city is about to break down and replace our people!"
"Ah? Why?" Joakim I was a little puzzled.
"Stupid? In the later period, our people are in front, waiting for the city to break, is our army entering the city first?"
"Ah? Yeah, but what about that?"
"So what? If our army enters the city first, we can rush to the wealthy quarters and vaults of Hamburg in advance, and take control of most of our belongings. If the Swiss mercenaries rushed in first, the vaults and the wealthy quarters would not be affected They robbed first? They are not ours, but they robbed the property and divided us up to half, which line? Hamburg ’s most valuable vault and rich area, we must make our people rob. The Swiss are behind Entering the city, you can only go to the civilian area to rob ... "
After thinking about it, Joachim I looked at Frederick III with admiration:
"Sir Frederick, you are really tall!" And he gave his thumbs up.
...
While the two were discussing heatedly how to divide up Hamburg's wealth, suddenly the soldiers came to report:
"Two honorable emperors, a messenger of East Frisian outside the barracks, it is said that they came to the next book!"
"What?" Frederick III and Joakim I asked in surprise at the same time.
But then, Frederick III laughed:
"That's not bad, the boy Marin finally can't help jumping out. As long as the 20,000 troops and the Quartet are eliminated, there is no power to stop us! At that time, Lubeck and Hamburg are still ours!"
"Yes, yes, we share equally ... well ... give points to the Swiss ..."
Soon, Marin's messenger arrived at the account. Before entering the big account, the messenger was touched all over, and even his boots were taken off to check to prevent him from entering the assassination of the two elected emperors with a dagger.
"Admiral Marin, Lord Duke of Schleswig, Count of East Friesland, Münster and Osnabrück, ordered me to say hello to the two distinguished electors!" One of Marin's bodyguards, Wei Lee bowed to Frederick III and Joachim I.
Although it is a hostile relationship, Frederick III and Joachim I are indeed nobler than Marin. Therefore, Marlin's messenger Willie had to say hello first.
"Um ..." Frederick III hummed expressionlessly, then asked in a dull tone:
"What's the matter with your envoy? Hurry and say, we are in a hurry to attack the burger ..."
Looking at Frederick III who was pretending to pose, Joakim I quietly gave a thumbs-up ...
"Ah ..." Willie acted anxiously according to Marin's prior explanation, saying:
"Empire Hou, this is the case. Lord Duke of my family feels that it is not a way for both parties to consume so much. After all, tens of thousands of troops are too expensive. So, the benevolent Master Marin decided to fight against your army now , In the honor of a knight, decide the victory as soon as possible ... "
"Oh-in the honor of a knight? I remember, your prince ... oh no, he is still the Count of East Friesland after this battle ... well, Count of yours, I remember, he is the best at sneak attacks? He is in the honor of a knight, are you funny? "Frederick III laughed mercilessly. On the side, Joakim I laughed face-saving, as if he heard something funny.
Willie didn't know what to say for a while, a rookie look. In the end, he respectfully handed the parchment to declare war on the ground and said:
"Whether you believe it or not, this time our adults are indeed fighting for the election and your army. The place is on the plain across the Travo River west of Lübeck. As for the time, it is at 9 am the day after tomorrow ..."
"Are you going out of town to fight? Still west of the Travaux River?" Frederick III asked in surprise.
"Of course, on the plains on the west bank of the Travo River in the west of Lübeck!"
"Don't lie to me?" Frederick III still did not believe this good thing. If Marin ’s 20,000 army really crossed the Travo River and wanted to retreat back to the city of Lübeck on the east bank, it would be difficult. After all, it was a 20,000 army, even if it withdrew, under the attack of 50,000 Bossa coalition forces, it would be God's blessing to withdraw a small half. And Marin ’s 20,000 people are unlikely to be the opponents of the 50,000 Bossa coalition ... is the other party coming to die?
"Please rest assured that the two elected emperors and emperors Hou, our Duke Lord swears in the Bible, who will not be the grandson!" Willie inadvertently imitated Malin's usual tone of speech.
"Okay ~ www.novelhall.com ~ We must arrive in time!"
Willy seemed to remember something, and reminded:
"Two emperors, our prince, my prince said, don't go to the battlefield today and the day after tomorrow. If you find that your army arrived on the battlefield when crossing the river, we will stop crossing the river and return to Lubeck!" Are you afraid that the Bossa Allied forces will sneak attack while the army is crossing the river ...
"Che-do you think everyone likes your master who loves to attack conspiracy, love to do such unnecessary things? We are real nobles, we will never do such a thing!" Frederick III said disdainfully .
In fact, he also wanted to take advantage of Marin's army to cross the river. However, in order not to scare Marin ’s men back, he did not intend to make a surprise attack while the enemy was halfway through. Because, the purpose of this decisive battle, the Bossa Allied Forces, mainly to eliminate the living power of the Quartet, not just to win. As long as all of Marin's 20,000 troops were defeated on the west bank of the Trave River, Lubeck and Hamburg, in the eyes of the Bossa Allied Forces, were almost undefended. It would be really uneconomical if it fought halfway through and frightened half of the East Frisian army back. Because if these elite troops stay in the city of Lübeck which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is really troublesome. If all came to the plains on the west bank of the Trava River, it would be really beneficial for the Bossa Allied Forces ... at least, on the surface, it is indeed ...
