Kohler's men moved quickly, and quickly sent the secret letter to the city of Lucerne in central Switzerland, and handed it to Frenzberg. To this end, Kohler's men ran to death several horses.
At this time, Frenzberg was planning a counterattack. The letter from Kohler surprised him. Another look at the content shocked him ...
"This ... isn't this the Martial Arts that Master Marin said before? How could it be? Is it ... Master Marin didn't die, but he deliberately hid to engage in things?" Frensberg is worthy of mixing with Marin. Those who have been through are familiar with Marin's character. Moreover, Marin had deliberately played "going abroad" once against the Principality of Gedsi. Therefore, he judged this time that Marin might be fine, just digging pits.
Soon, he turned his attention back to the secret letter ...
"What? The coalition of princes came to me? There is France in the west to fight against the enemy, and there is a coalition of 50,000 to 60,000 princes in the north. Am I dead?" Frenzberg panicked.
You know, he only has 15,000 regular troops, plus the "Empire Army" composed of four or five thousand eastern Swiss mountain people recruited from Switzerland. However, the four or five thousand "Historical Army" supporting the Habsburg family is similar to the puppet army during the Anti-Japanese War, and the combat effectiveness is not strong. Although the Swiss mountain people are slightly more aggressive, they are only stronger than the ordinary militia, and they are still incomparable to the regular French army.
As for the Swiss Resistance Army, after the increase of troops in France, the total strength of the regular army reached more than 20,000 people, and 7,000 or 8,000 spontaneous organizations against the mountain militia of the Habsburg family have formed a strength advantage. Before, Franzberg didn't know that his opponent had increased his troops, and he accidentally ate a secret loss. Fortunately, the loss was not large, and he retreated in time.
Without the intervention of the coalition of princes, Frenzberg is confident that even if there is no chance of winning, he will not lose to the Swiss Resistance, even if the French increase their troops. After all, from a military perspective, Frensberg's army has more advanced battle tactics.
However, if there are five or sixty thousand troops in the northern coalition, it will be different ...
Fritzberg despised the fighting power of the coalition princes. If the same number of people, Frenzberg confident that he can easily hang the princely coalition. Even if the number of opponents doubled, he also had confidence to win. However, when the number of coalitions of princes was four times that of him, he had no confidence.
Today, neither the coalition forces of Switzerland and France in the west, nor the coalition forces of the princes in the north, can be countered by his men.
Although he can also ask the emperor for help, it is too late. Even if the emperor sent troops to rescue, it would take time. The enemy is coming. It is said that the coalition of princes has besieged Karlsruhe, the capital of Baden, for a long time.
But the strange thing is that the coalition of princes did not lay down their hands, but gave way to the south of Karlsruhe, a bit like Marin's original strategy of "surrounding the enemy".
Earlier, Frenzberg, who received the news, thought that the coalition of princes did not want to lose too much and forced Count Christopher to escape.
However, according to the current information, the coalition of princes is not just forcing the Earl of Christopher to flee south, but to force the Earl of Christopher into Switzerland. At that time, the coalition of princes had an excuse to enter Switzerland-chasing Christopher, Earl of Baden ...
Then, friction between the two sides caused the princes to turn their heads decisively ...
Frenzberg, who was already very talented, has already reasoned out the whole process. But it's no wonder that if this talent is not available, Frensberg will not be valued by Marin. In history, Frenzberg was the true godfather of German mercenaries.
However, even if it is reasoned out ...
There are more than 20,000 Swiss-French coalition forces, five or sixty thousand princely coalition forces ... it is desperate ...
"Maybe, the advice given by Master Marin is correct?" Frensberg thought about it, as if Marin's advice was very good.
This is because the Graubünden area not only depends on Austria in the back, but also connects the Duchy of Milan, an ally of the Habsburg family, to the south, making it easy to receive reinforcements.
More importantly, the northern and western regions of Graubünden are steep mountains, which are very dangerous for defense. Xiongguan is in power and the mountain is rugged, which belongs to the best terrain for defense. Can see this, Frensberg can already be sure that Marin is still alive. Moreover, this letter must be directed by Marin.
As long as you retreat to the Graubünden area that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, even if the Swiss-French coalition and the princely coalition are strong, it will be difficult to break through the natural danger. However, these years of efforts in Switzerland have been in vain ...
...
"What should I do? What should I do?" Frantzberg walked around in a panic.
At this moment, he suddenly looked at a portrait on the wall and muttered to himself:
"Master Marin, is your only way to retreat to Graubünden?" Obviously, the portrait on the wall is Marin.
All in all, Frensberg still admires Marin. Otherwise, Marlin would not have fled to him.
However, for a knight in the Swabian region, the appeal of the Habsburg royal family seems to be stronger. Therefore, at the beginning, Frensberg would vote for the Habsburg family. After all, in the area where he lives, worship and users of the Habsburg royal family have almost become a habit. Moreover, the title granted by the Habsburg family can also be recognized throughout Europe. Unlike the original East Frisian Lambert, the titles given to people outside the East Friesland do not necessarily recognize it.
In fact, Frensberg did not expect that Marin would be so big, and he actually laid a site that was 20 times larger than East Frisian Lambert, and was promoted to the Grand Duke. This made him a little regretful, but he couldn't look back. Moreover, Emperor Maximilian I was also kind to him, and there was no reason for betrayal.
However, this does not affect the worship of Marin by Frenzberg. Because, Marin's rising career is too legendary. From a weak wandering knight who is worse than Frensberg, he is a strong German prince, one of the best in Germany, even if the novel is not so exaggerated ...
Therefore, as a fan of Marin, Frenzberg posted Marin's portrait on the wall of the study ~ www.novelhall.com ~ This is like the posterity celebrities who posted posters of idols on the bedroom wall. Moreover, this portrait was originally issued by Marin in the Beihai Kingdom. It is a brainwashing portrait for the army to "see early and report late". It has the style of a portrait of a posterity of a great man ...
...
"If so, Master Marin, what should I do this time? Retreating to Graubünden ... Although it is good, I always feel that it is not the best choice ..." Fritzberg thought hard.
He guessed right, Marin did not tell him the best choice. Because, Marin did not want to see the Habsburg family too strong. After all, the Habsburg family is royal. If it is too strong, it is easy to unify Germany. And Marin is a separatist prince himself. How can the emperor be willing to unify Germany? Therefore, the balance between the emperor and the princes is what Marin is most willing to see.
And letting Frenzberg retreat to Graubünden is indeed in the interest of Marin-the interests of the Habsburg family are damaged, but the strength is preserved ... As for the coalition of princes, it is a white trip ...
However, there are still better options ...
"Yes!" Frenzberg suddenly took the case. Because, he remembered Marin's battle for fame ...
