Chapter 1555: Liukou

In just half a day, the 2,000 noble coalition troops sent by the Duke of Ulrich to pursue the peasant army were wiped out. In particular, the 100 knights, all killed.

Originally, Casbal wanted to capture the captives for ransom. As a result, after the siege of the remaining thirty or so plate knights suffered huge casualties, everyone was killed. And Wolfe, an undercover agent, is tasked with getting rid of the core forces of these opposition aristocrats. Therefore, a few of them took the opportunity to encourage the soldiers of the rebel army to kill all the wounded knights. A few of them were lucky enough not to die, but they were also secretly mended by Wolf.

As a result, all the knights of this 2,000-strong aristocratic army were killed, and the four nobles to whom they belonged were a number of opposition nobles, and they lost the most important group of thugs and pillars.

And Casbal and his "poor Conrad" peasant rebel army officially lost the possibility of talking to the authorities. After all, no matter how many auxiliaries die, it's no problem, but if 100 knights die in a row, this is a situation that never stops.

For Europeans in this era, the aristocracy was the human being, and the commoners were just animals that helped the aristocracy work. In the event of defeat, the nobles would not pay to ransom the civilian soldiers. Unless, this civilian soldier is a veteran of a hundred battles and has value of use. As for the people or something, please refer to the war lost by Saxony to Marin, and give it directly to Marin......

After the 18th century, Western European countries gradually changed this tradition and began to gradually respect people's lives. But until the 19th century, Tsarist Russia retained this custom. The soldiers of Tsarist Russia, known as the "gray cattle", did not care how many tsars died. Of course, this probably has something to do with serfdom. In the 19th century, serfdom had been abolished in Western Europe, and peasant status was recognized and respected. Tsarist Russia, on the other hand, did not begin the reform of serfdom until 1861. Moreover, the reform is not yet complete. Therefore, Tsarist Russia retained the barbaric tradition and never took human life seriously.

However, that is a matter for the afterlife. For the time being, serfdom is still the dominant system in Europe. The aristocracy of various countries basically does not take the life and death of the common people seriously. Therefore, no one cares how many auxiliaries, levies or whatever, how many deaths. However, the death of a hundred knights, that is a big deal. In particular, it was the mud legs who killed these knights......

Therefore, Casbal and his "poor Conrad" peasant rebel army had no way back at this time.

However, at this time, Casbal and the others were not thinking about the question of whether they were behind or not, but began to swell and planned to attack Stuttgart......

"Brothers, we defeated the enemy's pursuers. At this moment, the bustling city of Stuttgart must be empty guarded. In addition, we originally had citizen brothers echoing in the city, and now, as long as we turn back and besiege Stuttgart, we will definitely be able to take this bustling big city! ”

Casbar stood on the hillside and shouted, and a peasant army that had just won the battle also responded.

They are just serfs with no brains, and they are easily fooled. As soon as the big boss of Casbal was mobilized, everyone immediately became enthusiastic, eager to take Stuttgart immediately.

Then, more than 7,000 peasant troops again surrounded Stuttgart......

Under the cover of a shield, Casbal climbed to the top of a carriage and shouted loudly to the city, demanding that the citizens of the city respond to the uprising, start an uprising, and open the city gates.

However, he did not know that after he fled the city, the citizen rebellion in the city had already been suppressed. Moreover, the Duke of Ulrich ordered the citizens to be exempted from the harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and the citizens had been bribed and no longer had the idea of rebellion.

Thus, in the next few days, the peasant army's siege of the city was fruitless. Among them, except for a few undercover agents in Wolf, the others don't even know how to build siege equipment, how do they know how to siege a city?

There are really citizens in the city who are not afraid of death who have responded to the call and launched an uprising to seize the door. Unfortunately, the inside of the Stuttgart gates is heavily guarded. The revolt was carried out by only a few dozen citizens, and they were quickly slaughtered.

A few days later, the peasant army finally abandoned the siege of Stuttgart. Moreover, they have run out of food again......

"Chief, let's go, first go to the various noble manors to grab enough food, and even weapons and armor, and then come back. Moreover, after conquering those manors, we can also recruit those manor people to join us and strengthen the strength of the rebel army! Wolf took the opportunity to persuade.

"Well, as you say. That, let Charlie (one of the undercover agents, pseudonym) lead the way! ”

Then, the surviving peasant army, led by the undercover Charlie, went straight to the estates of the nobles who did not deal with the Duke of Württemberg Ulrich......

Most of the guards of these manors were recruited into the city by the Duke of Ulrich, and they were later deliberately sent out of the city to die, so the guards of these manors are now very empty.

In the face of thousands of peasant rebels, these aristocratic estates were powerless to resist and were breached one after another. Then, at the instigation of several undercover agents of Wolff, the owners of the manor, the nobles who did not obey the Duke of Ulrich, were killed. Including their children, they don't let go of any of them. Even, even the noblewomen were bewitched by Wolf and a few people to kill them first and then kill them, and they were ruined...... Because, only when the entire noble family is dead, will the Duke of Ulrich have an excuse to take back their domain......

And after the peasant army left the manor, another group of mysterious people came to the manor and waited for the rabbit......

Who are they waiting for? Naturally, he is waiting for the side branch of this nobleman! According to European inheritance law, if a noble family is no heir, it should be inherited by a side branch or son-in-law of the same family. Either it is a nephew or a grandson. If the qualifications of the parties are similar, it will be decided by the sovereign arbitration.

But generally speaking, if you hear that the main family is dead, there will definitely be members of the branch who rush to ask for the title of nobility. Those knights who cannot be hereditary do not count, and the baronial family will definitely have side branches to seek to inherit the title.

And this mysterious team is dedicated to intercepting and killing those heirs of the side branches......

Sure enough, in this baron's manor, where the whole family died, after the peasant army left, members of the side branch came. They walked into the ruins, searching for anything that could prove the family's identity. At the same time, they are also looking for the secret room where the treasure is hidden. However, that night, they were attacked by a mysterious man and all of them were killed. Then the body was also set on fire......

……

And Casbar's army, under the leadership of the undercover Charlie, slaughtered those noble manors one by one.

During this period, Casbal did think about besieging the noble manors that passed by along the way, without following Charles's instructions. However, these estates belonging to the nobles of the Duke of Ulrich or the camp of the Duke of Ulrich were heavily defended. There are even mercenaries from the North Sea State stationed there.

These mercenaries of the Beihai State have all received all kinds of training in defending the city, and they are still able to resist thousands of unprofessional peasant troops who have no artillery.

After hitting a few nails, Casbal had to admit that it was better to follow the route led by Charlie......

Then, following Charles' lead, the peasant rebels conquered the noble manors that had no strength to defend them one by one, killing the nobles in the manor, and robbing the manor of food, gold and silver treasures, weapons and armor. Subsequently, they also took away the strong men of various manors to expand the team. After destroying seven or eight aristocratic estates, they had grown to more than 10,000 people......

At present, the style of this peasant army is no different from the rogue tactics of Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong. Or rather, they are now the rogues of the Duchy of Württemberg......
