That night, under the leadership of Casbal, more than 7,000 peasant rebels moved overnight to a valley near the Fainen estate in the southwest of Stuttgart, and laid ambush on the slopes on both sides of the road, according to Henry (Wolff).

Casbar was curious:

"Henry, are you from a noble background? How can you understand this military knowledge? "In Germany, only aristocratic families generally had the conditions to learn military command. Ordinary people don't have such an opportunity. Just like Casbar, the swordsmith, he doesn't know military command, he only knows how to shout "Brothers, cut him!" ", the lively medieval old boy takes the lead.

Wolf hurriedly denied it, and he also had the excuse that Marin had already thought of for him:

"Chief, this is not military knowledge, it is a means for bandits to rob passing merchants!"

This explanation is very reasonable, and the bandits like to ambush on the side of mountain roads and raid passing convoys. Casbal immediately smiled knowingly:

"I see, Brother Henry, whatever you did before, you will be my good brother to Casbal in the future! If you have a brother to eat, you will never be missing! ”

Apparently, he thought of Wolf as if he had been a bandit. The Württemberg region is mountainous, and there are not a few Württemberg people who have been bandits. This explanation is quite reasonable. Moreover, to be a bandit, you naturally need martial arts, otherwise you will be killed like Brother Long.

Wolf didn't explain, acquiescing to the "bandit's" past, and pretending to be grateful to Casbal's words. But that acting, Xiao Xianrou can blow him up. It's a pity that Casbal hasn't watched movies and television, and there is no comparison, so naturally he can't see how exaggerated and fake Wolfe's expression is......

Wolf then instructed the peasant rebels to dig Tibetan holes on the top of the hillsides on both sides of the road. At the same time, people were sent to collect a large number of stones, which were piled up on the hillside, ready to be pushed down at any time.

Not only that, but Wolf also asked Casbal to take a thousand of his strongest warriors to the nearby Fainen Manor to seize the grain.

Before dawn, Casbal and his men successfully attacked the manor, which was guarded only by Baron Fainen and two squires, and seized a large amount of bread and meat and other grains in the manor.

Before dawn, Casbal returned to the ambush area with his men and food, and distributed the bread he had stolen from the manor. After all, there will be a war later, and you can't let your subordinates go hungry.

And what made Casbal most happy was that he grabbed 10 sets of plate armor and 30 two-handed swords in Fainen Manor.

This is a treasure, a set of plate armor, worth dozens of gold coins. If you put on plate armor and charge into battle, it is not easy to be killed by the enemy.

Casbal was overjoyed to get these 10 sets of plate armor, and he was immediately convinced of what Wolf had said before, "There must be weapons and armor in the noble manor".

He originally wanted to give all 10 sets of plate armor to his former old brother, but unfortunately, these 10 sets of plate armor are a bit big. After all, as a descendant of the nobility, because of adequate nutrition, the height is generally more than 1.7 meters, or even 1.8 meters. The peasants in the German region are generally only about one meter and six meters tall, and they can't wear large-sized plate armor.

Then, Wolf came to the fore......

After all, their original identity was the children of nobles in the Duchy of Württemberg, and they later defected to the Duke of Ulrich. They are all of sufficient height, and moreover, they are also used to wearing plate armor.

Eventually, 10 sets of plate armor were distributed to Casbar himself, his elder brothers, and several Wolfs. They will be the most important assault force in this ambush war......

……

In Stuttgart, when the defenders got up in the morning, they suddenly found that the camp of the peasant army outside the city had become empty. Then, the defenders hurriedly reported upwards.

Duke Ulrich naturally knew what was going on, so he pretended to think about it and said:

"The other side may not be able to attack for a long time and run out of food, so it is transferred. Send your men on horseback and look around to see which way these rebels are going!" ”

After a while, the soldiers sent out to reconnoiter returned:

"Report to Lord Duke, the rebels seem to be heading southwest!"

Duke Ulrich nodded, and the people below exploded and asked for battle. But Duke Ulrich knew that this was a trap, and naturally did not agree with the more than 1,000 people of his own lineage to fight.

So, he pretended to hesitate and said:

"Well, in order to prevent the citizens of the city from revolting again, the original Stuttgart garrison continued to garrison Stuttgart. As for the rebellious peasants who retreated outside the city...... Knight Engor, would you like to lead two thousand coalition troops in pursuit? The enemy is only a few thousand people, and now it is retreating, so it should be able to fight, right? ”

The knight of Ngor was overjoyed, he was originally sent by Baron Vincent, a nobleman of the Duchy of Württemberg who was not satisfied with the Duke of Ulrich, to fulfill the promise of the feudal lord, and he was very perfunctory. However, the knight of Engor was just a knight without a fief who had defected to Baron Vincent. If you make a great contribution in this battle, you will definitely be able to obtain a fief. So, he was excited......

But he didn't know that the reason why the Duke of Ulrich took a fancy to him and was willing to make him the leader was because he valued this person's recklessness and impulsiveness......

If it were a powerful and calm officer, the Duke of Ulrich would not be able to reuse it. After all, this aristocratic private army was deliberately given to his opponent. To put it bluntly, they are all outcasts, and I don't want them to win. And the reckless and impulsive Knight of Engor is the most suitable leader to be sent to death.

Seeing the hesitation of the Duke of Ulrich, Knight Ngor who thought that the opportunity was rare was a rare one, said loudly:

"Lord Duke, please rest assured, we have 2,000 horses, but there are 100 knights. And most of them have received relatively complete combat training, as long as they catch up with each other, they will definitely be able to defeat that rabble! ”

In fact, the knights of Engor were very dissatisfied with the fact that the three thousand defenders in the city were only willing to stay in the city to defend and did not dare to go out of the city to fight back. He thinks that the army composed of those mud-legged people doesn't even have a few serious weapons, so it shouldn't be too easy to fight...... So, he complained a lot before. It was precisely because of these complaints that the Duke of Ulrich noticed this reckless fellow......

Before leaving, the Duke of Ulrich quietly grabbed the knights of Ngor and promised them a fief as long as they could defeat the rebels and capture them. If he can completely destroy the enemy, it is not impossible for the baron......

Knight Engor's eyes suddenly turned red - Baron|! He can be equal to his current allegiance to his master, Baron Vincent......

As a result, the knights of Engor, who were obviously in the wrong state, left the city of Stuttgart with 2,000 noble private soldiers and chased them in a southwestern direction......

And the knight of Engor did not know that behind him, the Duke of Ulrich stood on the tower of the city gate, looked at their backs, and said silently in his heart:

"Go, warrior! May you never go back! ”
