It took three or four days for Bonitz to lead half of the main force, including a large number of elite Swiss mercenaries, to contain Governor Fyskefrijheid, Baron Ztel, Commander Sivag, and their 3,000 West Frisian resistance. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

If you want to say that the 3,000 West Frisian Resistance soldiers who survived a hundred battles are not good at anything else, they are especially good at escaping. If the Saxon cavalry were to chase after them, they would soon be able to catch up. However, the army of the Duchy of Godes, consisting mainly of infantry, imitated the Swiss, and formed a large number of spearmen. On its own, there were not many cavalry.

Why? Because cavalrymen generally came from aristocratic families. However, when the Duchy of Guedes was destroyed by Charles the Bold before 1477, most of the knights were killed in battle. Charles II, on the other hand, relied on the Flemish rebellion in 1492 to bribe the Dutch Parliament to regain his independence. Therefore, in the new Duchy of Godes, cavalry is really scarce. The rest of the knight family, because of their culture, also went to serve as officers in the infantry phalanx. Therefore, there is no large-scale cavalry in the Duchy of Gedes now. It was also a struggle to pursue the remnants of the fleeing West Frisian Resistance. It took three or four days to catch up.

After being overtaken and surrounded, the Governor of Fyskefrijheid and Baron Ztel, seeing that there was no play, obediently surrendered. Anyway, even if he is captured by Charles II as a puppet, at least, he will not die. After all, Charles II was not very good at openly annexing the Frisian aristocratic republic, and secretly controlling it was the best way to silence others. But if you resist, you might be stabbed in a few holes by these Gedesi spearmen......

So, the two chose to dismount and surrender. Sivarg and his soldiers, seeing that the boss had surrendered, there was no need to resist. So, he also surrendered.

Bonitz was in a good mood and finally got the two fools. However, when he returned to the camp outside Groningen, he was in a terrible mood. Because, George, Duke of Saxony, took advantage of the fact that he was pursuing the West Friesian Resistance and broke through the siege at night and ran away.

But now, it's too late for him to chase after him. Because, George has been on the run for two or three days. Moreover, George and his men are all cavalry on horseback, how can they chase?

"It's all your fault, these two bastards!" Bonitz looked at Governor Fyskefrijheid and Baron Ztel with hatred, and in anger, he gave the two goods a kick directly.

Governor Fyskefrijheid and Baron Ztel were very angry, but at the moment, "people are swords, I am fish and meat", and the two of them had to swallow their anger when they saw the army of the Duchy of Gedes surrounded by spears.

And the Duke of Saxony George and his entourage, after crossing the Ems River, in order to escape quickly, directly sold horse armor and plate armor to Marlin at a discount. Then, lightly armed, in the form of light cavalry, they ran in the direction of Dresden, as if something was behind them.

"Next, it's the drama of the decisive battle between the group and the Duchy of Godus, right?" Marin shook his head and said as he looked in the direction of George's escape.

Speaking of George's bad luck, the core of the Saxon army was heavy cavalry. But the core of the Duchy of Guedes was the Swiss phalanx, which was just right to restrain the heavy cavalry. Therefore, it is really difficult for the Saxon army to win when the main battle arms are restrained......

However, this is exactly what Marlin wants. Otherwise, how could he buy West Frisland from the desperate George?

When Charles II heard that George had fled from the East Frisian border, he was furious and sent to ask Marin why he had not stopped him.

Marin didn't want to turn against Charles II yet, so he explained that it was Maximilian I's order that he should not embarrass George. So, he had no choice but to be neutral.

Charles II couldn't do anything about it, because, as everyone knows, Marin was a man of Maximilian I. The emperor has an order, and there is really nothing he can do. Moreover, George was also a cousin of Maximilian I. Marin's explanation makes sense.

Marin was very enthusiastic about Charles II's emissaries, and kindly reminded them that George would definitely gather the multinational coalition forces to fight back. When the time comes, perhaps Maximilian I's army will take part. Therefore, Marin may not be able to help the Duchy of Gedes in the next war.

During the meeting, Marin suddenly remembered that his own high-level reservoir had been built, and now that he could quickly produce plate armor and swords, why not take this opportunity to sell some weapons?

So, Marin asked:

"Your envoy, is your army still short of swords and plate armor?"

"Huh? What do you mean, Lord Marlin? ”

"I have recently built a large-scale weapons production workshop, and if your country needs it, I can sell it to you cheaply. You know, the next time George Duke of Saxony gathers a large army, it will definitely be extremely dangerous. If it is the spearmen of your country, the elite veterans of the first three rows are equipped with cuirass armor and helmets, and the combat effectiveness will definitely be greatly improved, and the chances of victory will be greatly improved......"

"This ......," the envoy of the Duchy of Gedess thought to himself, and this was really the case. If the veterans of the first three rows were equipped with breastplate armor and helmets, when they stabbed each other with the enemy on the battlefield, the survival rate was indeed greatly improved.

You must know that veterans are very precious, and if one dies, there is no way to replace the new recruits. So, the envoy of the Duchy of Gedes inquired about the price of the plate armor and the price of the sword, and planned to go back and report to Charles II, the Duke of Gedus, and ask him to decide.

Marin considered that he really needed the Duchy of Gedes to win the next war, so Marin quoted the lowest price in the market, which was very favorable.

In fact, even at the lowest price in the market, Marin is very profitable. Because, Marin has an iron-smelting blast furnace in his hand, and the cost of iron ingots is lower. Moreover, with rows of hydraulic forging hammers, the forging cost is also greatly reduced, and the speed is greatly increased. If it is replaced by human force forging, God knows what the cost is.

Charles II listened to the messenger's report and felt that what Marin said was indeed very reasonable. In the Gedes army, those Swiss mercenaries were indeed the elite veterans of the first three rows, equipped with cuirass armor and helmets.

And the Principality of God's own spearmen have indeed not yet equipped the first three rows of elites with cuirass armor and helmets. In this case, in the event of a major war, the casualty rate of veterans will definitely be very high.

Just like the previous battle with George's army, he lost a lot of veterans......

Moreover, the price given by Marin, Charles II asked the knowledgeable minister, is indeed very low, and it can be regarded as a friendship price. After much thought, Charles II finally placed a large order with Marin......

Marin hurriedly found the forgers:

"Hurry up and build the breastplate and helmet according to the order, but make it like the French!"

"Why? Lord Duke, the Maximilian armor designed by His Majesty Maximilian I is the best! ”

"Are you stupid? This is the armor that was equipped for the Duchy of God, made in the style of Maximilian armor, is it trying to harm me? Only by making it in the style of French plate armor can the French take the blame! "The emperor knew about Marin's imitation of Maximilian armor, and even provided samples. If the Gedes army is heavily equipped with Maximilian armor, then Marin still needs to be mixed?

The craftsmen suddenly realized that Marin sold an armor, and there were so many deep meanings in it, which was worthy of being a god who had been enlightened by Daxian......
