Chapter 471: We're Winning!

To the southwest of Lübeck, Frederick III, the Elector of Saxony, led more than 500 Saxon knights, lightly armed, with one man and two horses, desperately fleeing south.

On the edge of the "Elbe-Lübeck Canal", Frederick III found the port of call of the former Bossa coalition and the hundreds of boatmen who had left.

Upon arrival at this temporary port, Frederick III decisively ordered the boatmen to sail all the ships to the south shore, along with his men and horses.

Upon reaching the south bank of the canal, Frederick III ordered the ships to be burned with a single fire to avoid being used by the pursuers. As for the boatmen, they were all dismissed.

When Loew followed the trail with five hundred scouts and followed the trail again, he saw the burning ships on the opposite side. Obviously, the other party blocked the road. At this time, if you go to find a ship, even if you find it, it will be difficult to transport hundreds of cavalry and war horses together. Therefore, Loew will definitely not be able to catch up with Frederick III and his party. In desperation, Loew had no choice but to take people back.

And on the battlefield, Woolf. After Esbrand took control of the Golden Carriage, he was met with a frantic counterattack by the enemy. Fortunately, the 8,000 veterans he brought were all elites, resisting the momentum of the enemy's counterattack.

Seeing that those people are about to come back again, Woolf. Esbrand made a decisive decision - to pull Joakim I out, put the knife around his neck, and threaten the enemies who fought back.

It's just that because Frederick III, the Elector of Saxony, ran away, even if Choakim I was pulled out, it would not be convincing......

And, Woolf. Esbrand knew very well in his heart that Frederick III was the commander of this coalition army......

Depressed, Woolf. Esbrand suddenly saw Frederick III's splendid silk robe in the carriage, and asked:

"This is left by Elector Frederick?"

"Well, yes." Choakim I was a prisoner at this time, and he was very honest, so as not to be unlucky.

Woolf. Esbrand's eyes rolled, and he suddenly beckoned a few guards to come over, and asked Joakim I:

"Which of them resembles Elector Frederick?"

Joakim I did not understand Woolf. Esbrand's intentions, but still honestly pointed to a bearded guard and said:

"He's more like."

Then, in the stunned eyes of Joakim I, Woolf. Esbrand had the bearded guard change into Frederick III's ornate silk robes, as well as a golden tiara. If you don't pay attention to it from a distance, it really looks like Frederick III......

Then, the bearded guard, pretending to be Frederick III, was escorted to the roof of the golden carriage with a sword around his neck, along with Joakim I......

Woolf. Esbrand, also standing on top of the golden carriage, shouted to the soldiers of the Bosa coalition who were still resisting with a loudspeaker:

"Warriors of Brandenburg and Saxony, your Elector has been captured by me! If you continue to resist, I will cut down your Electors! "With that, Woolf. Esbrand actually picked up the knife and made a head-chopping gesture, which frightened Joakim I to close his eyes.

And the one who was killed by Woolf. Esbrand, who ordered to play Frederick III's bodyguard, was clever enough to bow his head and look frightened. In fact, he lowered his head for fear that the approaching enemy would recognize him for what he really was. As soon as he lowered his head like this, coupled with the fact that his figure was very similar, it was difficult for others to distinguish it......

Woolf. Esbrand then shouted to the Swiss mercenaries over a loudspeaker:

"Swiss mercenary warriors, you are fighting for money. Now, both of your employers have been captured alive themselves, and no one pays you commissions anymore. What else are you fighting? We, the East Friesian army, treat prisoners favorably, never kill them, and never mistreat them. So, surrender ......"

……

In Woolf. Before Esbrand shouted, there was chaos on the battlefield. The Swiss mercenaries and the Brandenburg army in the front row were scuffling with Marin's army, not paying any attention to what was happening in the rear. And the Saxon army, which has now just driven out the people of Brandenburg and Saxony in the front row, is regrouping.

Hear Woolf. After Esbrand's shout, the soldiers of the Bossa coalition who were fighting in the front row turned back in surprise to observe the situation. And Marin's army, also attracted by the shouting, suspended the offensive.

The tall soldiers of the Bossa coalition were surprised to find that their army's golden command carriage was indeed controlled by the enemy. And the two "Electors" have been put on their necks with knives......

Suddenly, the soldiers of the Bossa coalition army were all fried......

Nima, the leader was caught by someone, and he was also put on the neck with a knife, is this still a pup?

Originally, those soldiers in the rear of the army who wanted to take back their boss also threw themselves into the trap and did not dare to move anymore, for fear of Woolf. Esbrand was unhappy and cut off his own boss.

Marin sees Woolf. Esbrand is also very happy to have it. So, he took the opportunity to shout:

"Lay down your arms! Surrender or kill! ”

As soon as the East Friesian soldiers beside him heard the boss take the lead in shouting, they shouted in unison:

"Lay down your arms! Surrender or kill! ”

"Lay down your arms! Surrender or kill! ”

……

The soldiers of the Bossa coalition army, who were startled by this neat shout, suddenly hesitated......

And the Brandenburg army, which was wiped out by Marin's army with 3,000 knights, was the most unbearable. Because the elite is gone, the remaining infantry naturally has little hope. In addition, the boss was captured alive and had a knife on his neck, and those infantry officers lost confidence even more.

As a result, many Brandenburg infantry officers were the first to lay down their arms. Then, the soldiers around them did the same, laying down their arms and surrendering.

On the side of the Saxon army, there is no hope, and the boss of his own family is held by a knife to his neck, and he is "so frightened that he bows his head", so he naturally feels that there is no hope. So, they also laid down their weapons.

Only Swiss mercenaries, a little overwhelmed by this. Although, in the battle with the Marin army, they did not fall behind. However, now the soldiers of the Brandenburg and Saxon armies on the left and right had surrendered. And in front of them was Marin's 20,000 main force, and behind them was Woolf. Eight thousand elites led by Esbrand. Even if you want to go, there's no way to escape......

Thus, when Marin sent men to take over the prisoners of war from the Brandenburg and Saxon armies, the Swiss retracted their lines and formed a large self-defending phalanx facing outward in all four directions, refusing to surrender to Marin.

However, as the Brandenburg and Saxon soldiers on both flanks were pushed aside, the Swiss perimeter was suddenly empty. The more than 3,000 arquebusiers under Marin's command took the opportunity to enter the camp and raised their arquebuses, aiming at the approximately 18,000 Swiss mercenaries who refused to surrender......

At the same time, Sacra's tens of thousands of English mercenaries also drew 8,000 people to come over and surround the Swiss mercenaries together......

Seeing that the Swiss mercenaries were trapped and killed in the camp, Marin breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"We've won!"
