After Willie left the Bossa Allied Forces Camp, Frederick III sat in a chair for a long time in deep contemplation. After waking up, Frederick III said with some doubt:
"No, the little guy Marin is so cunning as a fox, how could he willingly go out of town to fight us? I think there seems to be a problem ..."
Joachim I thought about it, but didn't think of anything, so he said:
"Perhaps, he was in a desperate end. After all, if we captured Hamburg, they would have broken their arms."
"Maybe, but I always feel that something is wrong. Because, that kid always likes to count people, it's not that bright and upright."
"No, didn't you just fight a big game outside Lyle County before playing against Lord Albrecht, Duke of Saxony?"
"That's also true. Does he think his 20,000 army can defeat our 50,000 elite?"
"That's impossible. The 20,000 Swiss mercenaries alone aren't under them. Together with our 30,000 people, we won't lose to him in any way!" Joakim said confidently. .
"No matter, send more scouts to see what happens in other directions. Especially, the 10,000 reinforcements in the north, see when they will arrive. I estimate that the 10,000 people in the north should arrive the day after tomorrow. Near the battlefield ... Yes! Maybe the other party wanted to use that 10,000 reinforcements to raid our flanks! "Frederick III suddenly realized.
"But aren't only half of those 10,000 reinforcements veterans? Such a force can disrupt our flanks?" Jokim I said in disbelief.
"Yeah ..."
...
Just as Frederick III and Joachim I had speculation in the big account, they suddenly ordered the soldiers to report:
"Two adults, our scout, on the road leading to Hamburg, captured a messenger from Lübeck and intercepted a piece of intelligence!"
Both Frederick III and Joachim I were shocked, but Frederick III quickly reacted:
"Hurry up, maybe, the answer is in this information!"
Soon, a piece of parchment paper that was slightly thicker than ordinary parchment paper was sent to Frederick III, and Joachim I also turned his head to watch:
"The battle situation is urgent. I have agreed with the Bossa Allied Forces that it will be better to fight against them on the west bank of the West Travau in Lübeck at 9 am the next day. Our army is good at defense and should be able to withstand their attack. He said that Hamburg had recruited 10,000 troops in private, and asked His Excellency Heisenberg to order the 10,000 mercenaries of Hamburg to set off the day after tomorrow, and to attack the rear of the enemy battalion the night after the night. Toward the rear, our army will also attack at the same time, storming the front of its large camp to ensure victory ... "
"What?" Joakim I jumped in shock. If it was really attacked by the 10,000 troops secretly hidden in Hamburg at night, the Bossa Allied Forces Camp will inevitably be chaotic and will transfer a large number of troops to the west to resist. At this time, Marin attacked the front again, and the Bossa Allied Forces might really lose.
You know, before, Joachim I and Frederick III had negotiated-put 20,000 Swiss mercenaries on the front. Then, another 10,000 Brandenburg veterans were sent to the north to block 10,000 Schleswig's reinforcements going south.
By that time, the Bossa Allied Forces Camp had only 40,000 people. If you are attacked by a 10,000 army at night, you will inevitably panic. Moreover, he will turn his attention to the west. At this time, Marin suddenly launched a fierce attack from the east, and there was indeed a possibility ...
"No wonder ... no wonder he dared to fight out of the city ... It turned out that he had retained his back ... But, how come I didn't know that Hamburg hired 10,000 mercenaries?" Frederick III said doubtfully.
You know, since last year, Frederick III sent people to sneak into Lübeck and Hamburg to investigate the news. I have never heard of a large number of mercenaries hired by the two cities ...
"Then ... shall we capture that prisoner for interrogation?" Joakim I suggested.
"Okay, come and bring the captive!"
Then, the Saxon soldiers, with a captive in noble clothing, came to the coach's account ...
This man, dressed in the noble clothes, is naturally Jim. Before coming, Marin negotiated with Jim and arranged a young noble identity for Jim. Because only the nobles are afraid of death ...
Not killing nobles was a common practice in Europe at this time, big deal, pay a large ransom to redeem it. Moreover, Marin also arranged for the identity of a son of a baron. Moreover, it was arranged for the identity of the second son of Baron Kovac, the cousin of Prime Minister Jeffrey.
In fact, the person Baron Kovak does exist, as does the person John. However, John did not participate in this battle, but followed the old Huffman to guard Aurich.
In order to achieve a realistic effect, Marin specially asked the goldsmiths in the city of Lübeck to create a gold identity brand and family emblem for Jim.
Then, he sent someone to the small town of Norden to notify the Kovak family and let them bite—Jim is the second youngest master of their family, John. This was to guard against the suspicious Frederick III sending someone to verify that if it was exposed, Jim would die ...
Moreover, this time Jim deliberately captured, also performed well. After being intercepted by the Bossa coalition scouts, Jim deliberately dropped the fake information of the double parchment, and then, after a while, he deliberately pretended to fall from the horse and was caught by mistake ...
However, it was not easy to fall from the horse, Jim fell for a long time before slowing down. After all, the horse also has a shoulder height of more than one meter and six. Fortunately, Jim has experience and looks for a thick grassy meadow. If you fall on the stone road, it is estimated that you can break your arms and legs ...
Seeing Jim wearing a robe of nobility, a gold brand was found on his body. Like a nobleman, Frederick III did not let Jim kneel, but asked with majesty:
"What's your name? Which family are you from?"
Jim pretended to be nervous, and stuttered to answer:
"My name is ... John ... John Kovac, from ... the East Frisian Kovac family, the second son of the current Baron Kovac ..."
"What is your mission this time?"
"Give ... send a secret letter to ... the Speaker of Hamburg ... Master Heisenberg ..." Jim's eyes flashed intentionally as he spoke.
Coincidentally, the detail of this blinking eye was observed by Frederick III. So, he decided to swindle the noble boy named "John" in front of him. Because, he saw, the noble boy was not brave.
So Frederick III shouted:
"You lie! As a son of a great baron, how can you be called as a messenger? Say, what is your mission?"
"Ah ..." Jim seemed frightened, and then said incoherently:
"I ... I really sent the information ... the task is to send the information ... to ... you ... Abu, in the hands of Lord Heisenberg ..."
Frederick III keenly caught Jim's speech loophole, and sipped again:
"What? You said give me the information? What nonsense? Is this fake information?"
Jim looked even more flustered, his eyes flickering, afraid to look at Frederick III, and explained dryly:
"Information ... is ... true ..."
At this time, Frederick III had eighty-eighths to be sure that the information was false, so he frightened:
"Come here, drag this lying kid out and kill!"
Jim, who changed his name to John, was instantly paralyzed, saying:
"You can't kill me, I'm a noble, our family can pay the ransom!"
"Don't lie to me, how could the nobility act as a messenger?" Frederick III said fiercely.
"Because ... because this messenger mission has a great credit ... I ... I grabbed it specifically ..." Jim said dryly, speaking with fear in his eyes.
If Marin was present, he would have to praise "The acting skills, you can take Oscar" ...
"It's really bullshit, you can do a great job by sending a letter? Are you coaxing me? Come on, drag out and fight first!"
In this way, Jim was really dragged out of the tent, and was hit with a whip ...
When he was hit by the whip, Jim's screams came frequently ... In fact, Jim's patience was very strong, and he would not be afraid of a whip. However, he plays a young and noble child today, of course, he must be called a bit worse ...
When being dragged into the big account again ~ www.novelhall.com ~ Jim cried and ran into tears, and repeatedly called pain ...
"Don't say it yet? Don't say I will kill you ..." Frederick III scared.
Jim pretended to be struggling, and finally shook his head, saying:
"I can't say ..."
Frederick III and Joachim I glanced at each other, feeling a play, and continued to frighten:
"Don't say you are going to die, you are cut with a knife ..."
"Woo--" Jim cried, as if frightened.
However, despite being "scared", he said:
"I really can't say it, I don't say it, but I die; when I say it, the whole family will die ... wooh ..."
"The whole family is dead?" Frederick III and Joachim I were stunned ...
