Chapter 382: 2 lose all

To be honest, after several defeats, George, Duke of Saxony, seems to have learned a new skill-to escape WWW..lā Every time marching to fight, George and his more than 1,000 most important Saxon knights were away when they camped. Very close.

Moreover, in order to get on the horse quickly, the stables of the war horses of more than a thousand knights are arranged very close to the knights' camp. In this way, it is very convenient to mount and fight ... including mounting and running away.

For example, in this night battle, because of lack of preparation, George was also in a hurry to wear his armor and ride on the horse. Fortunately, his descendants were heavy cavalry, and the stable was on the side.

Therefore, George was able to easily ride the saxophone of more than a thousand people, successfully put on his armor, and rushed out of the enclosure.

As for other people, especially other plate armor, because the stable was placed behind the barracks, it was just assaulted by Sieg ’s mercenary regiment, and it was unable to successfully obtain the war horse.

Therefore, the Saxon Allied Forces had thousands of plate armours, and only George and more than a thousand people under his command successfully obtained the mounts and broke out. The others were all trapped in the encircling front and back.

Of course, the Saxon coalition forces, this time also caused great trouble to the Geddes army. This is because, before attacking Groningen, after obtaining the tunnels of the Risban family, the Saxon army did special night battle training for a few days in order to facilitate the night raids to capture Groningen.

Therefore, the Saxon coalition is not completely new to night battles. Therefore, even if there are many elite Swiss mercenaries in the Geddes army, there are still heavy casualties.

Speaking of which, the fighting power of the Swiss mercenaries has been weakened a lot during the night battle.

In the end, the outcome of this battle was-George only took more than a thousand Saxony plate armor to break out. In the remaining Saxony coalition of about 19,000, 110,000 people were captured. The remaining eight thousand people, some died in battle, and some died from chaotic trampling at night ... Of course, some people broke out, but many of them rushed into the swamp.

Rushed into the swamp in the middle of the night, and the chance of trying to live seemed to be not large ... Some of them broke out to the east and found a place to hide.

The Geddes army also suffered heavy casualties. There were about 5,000 casualties, which made Marshal Bonitz very distressed.

Know that the Geddes army is different from the Saxon coalition. Nearly half of the Saxon coalition is a mixed army or half mixed army of some small vassals. During the night raids, it was those miscellaneous and semi-miscellaneous soldiers who died of stepping on each other.

The troops of the Principality of Geddes, sent out, are basically elite. With 5,000 deaths and injuries, Marshal Bonitz shed tears. Of course, three wounds on his body were also one of the reasons why he grinned as his teeth hurt.

But anyway, the Principality of Geddes won. Moreover, it will make a lot of money ...

why? This is about the redemption system on the European battlefield. The Principality of Geddes captured 110,000 Saxon coalition soldiers in one fell swoop, which amounted to a large ransom ...

If it is normal, George, Duke of Saxony, may not redeem everyone. For example, those ordinary infantry, especially auxiliary soldiers. Saxony may not be willing to spend money to redeem it. Last time the Principality of Saxony lost to Marin, it gave up a lot of auxiliary soldiers and people.

This time was different, because George did not bring many authentic Saxon soldiers. The Saxon coalition's more than 10,000 people are strong, and most of them are still in the city of Groningen.

In the regular army, the Saxon army actually had only a few thousand people, and half of them died in battle. In other words, among these 110,000 prisoners of war, there are one or two thousand soldiers of the Principality of Saxony. The rest are mostly soldiers under the command of George ’s allies, including the remaining two thousand Flemish soldiers supported by the Habsburg family.

The Flemish warriors sent by the Habsburg family also suffered heavy losses this time, almost half. Those who are alive are basically captured. In this regard, Marshal Bonitz had a toothache.

Why? Both Charles II and Marin have emphasized not to cause too much damage to the Flemish Legion of the Habsburg family. Otherwise, it will offend the neighboring powerful forces of the Netherlands.

Offended a princely country far away, the other party is trying to find trouble for themselves, it is not easy, because there are thousands of mountains and rivers. Can offend a neighboring power, but the rhythm of tearing at the border ...

However, Bonitz has no choice. After all, when the night raid was launched, Bonitz played himself. He didn't know if he could survive, where could he manage to kill a few Flemish soldiers?

Furthermore, during the daytime array battle, we can still know that the Flemish Legion was ranked on the left wing of the Saxon coalition. And when camping in the middle of the night, where did the Geders know where the Flemish Legion was stationed?

Therefore, after some chaos, the Flemish Army also suffered a big loss, nearly half of the loss, and was captured by the whole person ... Anyway, this hatred, Gedsi and the Netherlands are considered to be ...

Because of the loss of five thousand elites, more than three thousand of them are from the Principality of Geddes, not Swiss mercenaries ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Plus now more than 10,000 prisoners of war need to be taken care of, the Geds army has not yet Ability to chase George away.

The most important thing is that the Gede Si army has no formed cavalry. It is difficult to chase George's more than 1,000 cavalry.

When Duke George took more than a thousand plate armor to re-escape his escape, he was also very decisive, he did not wear horse armor or wear plate armor pants (because wearing plate armor pants, it will be difficult to mount horses, and need to be assisted by the attendant Mounted. But at that time, there was definitely no way to find a waiter to help. Therefore, many poor wandering knights often don't wear plate armor pants, just like when Marin was wandering. The main thing is that they don't wear plate armor pants. If it is convenient to mount ...), let your men put on their breastplates, helmets and weapons, and you can mount directly.

Therefore, the heavy ride of the Saxon plate armor that escaped can only count as half a heavy cavalry. Even, they didn't even bring a rifle, they just took their sabers and went on the horse to escape. The infantry of the Geddes army, who wanted to chase Duke George and his cavalry, was a fool.

Therefore, Bonitz simply did not chase, but trimmed in place. As for military food, there are still some in George's camp, about ten days, which is 20,000 people, ten days, enough for the Geddes army and prisoners of war to eat for a few days. These grains are all soldiers of the Saxony coalition army. When pursuing, they carried them on their backs with their pockets. They did not use the transportation of the people and the people, because they were too late ...

After all, the speed of the march is much slower than that of the regular army. Before George was in a hurry to chase, let the soldiers carry a small bag of food on his back every day, so he launched the chase in a hurry ...) Download the free reader !!
