Wolfgang's interception location was chosen by himself, so the Italians who left early did not know that His Highness the Third Prince was not that far away from them.
However, there is another problem. Wolfgang originally thought that the Italians could delay for at least an hour, but he did not expect that his teammates were so weak.
His soldiers had just had time to set up their defense line when they discovered that the Burgundian scouts could already be vaguely seen.
"Lunn, it seems that our opponent this time is very strong." Wolfgang did not show too much surprise, nor did he show any look of looking down on his teammates. Instead, he looked very excited.
Adolf Lunn, the Holy Roman Emperor who had a close relationship with Bai Zhou, was the last leader of the Teutonic Knights of the Holy Roman Empire and the deputy commander of Wolfgang's private army. long. No matter from which aspect, being able to serve as the leader of the Teutonic Knights, his abilities no longer need to be described in too many words.
Originally, the leader of the Teutonic Knights was a lifelong leader. As long as he held this position, he would not step down unless he died in battle or was too old to go to the battlefield.
Of course, there is another possibility, that is, the leader made a big mistake and did not strictly abide by chivalry ethics. If he can no longer continue, he will be forced to leave his post.
Lunn belongs to the latter. Of course, he neither committed treason nor feared death on the battlefield. Instead, he made a mistake called a style problem in today's terms.
In fact, cheating was very common in the Middle Ages. Monogamy and political marriage obviously could not satisfy the desires of powerful men, nor could they fill the emptiness of lonely ladies. Therefore, sometimes, it is more common for men and women who get married for certain benefits to play their own lives after marriage, and no one interferes with the other's private life.
Two people are in love, secretly, although it is invisible, but it is not a matter of principle after all. At the very least, later generations of novelists or bards can use this as a theme to compose romantic poems. Things like incest are despised by the world, although many sick nobles also like it.
The key is not that he is not strictly loyal to his wife. The key is that the noble lady that Lunn fell in love with. Her husband has a great background and is a powerful marquis in the Holy Roman Empire. Moreover, he is very small-minded and belongs to the kind of "I can do whatever I want." But you can¡¯t¡± type.
After being discovered, Lunn was dismissed from his post by the Knights without any surprise. Admittedly, this was not a serious problem, but it also violated the sacred code of knights. It would be immoral to put "Silver | Wife and Daughter" in any country. permitted (if you insist on saying that a certain country is allowed, I don¡¯t know).
Then, Lunn, who was fucked to the end, was naturally persecuted by the great nobleman. Although Barbarossa loved talents, he really couldn't get involved in this kind of issue and couldn't help. But Wolfgang didn't shy away from this at all and saved Lunn in his personal capacity.
Of course, you are talking about inviting Adolf Lunn to join your private army as an ordinary citizen of the Holy Roman Empire, but all fools know that if you are really an ordinary citizen, who will allow you to form a private army?
This matter just ended, and Lunn became Wolfgang's deputy.
When Lunn heard Wolfgang's words, he couldn't help but look up into the distance and said, "Don't you always hope to meet a strong opponent?"
??Lun has a large beard, and coupled with his strong physique, he looks like a strong lion.
"Yes, this feeling makes me very excited every time." Wolfgang raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and he seemed to only show this look when there was a battle.
Viscount Dahal gritted his teeth, with a tense face, and pulled out a short arrow stuck on the outside of his thigh. Blood trickled down, but he seemed to be unconscious, only staring at the enemies coming from the east.
The Viscount has lost count of how many waves of enemy pursuers they have fought off and how many enemy blockades they have broken through during their short five-hour journey, and his deputy officers have already changed to three.
Five thousand people, five thousand of Burgundy's best soldiers, less than a hundred of them are still with him now, and they have lost all their horses, which means they can't escape!
Hate it! Dahal now wished that a Western Qin man could stand in front of him. He would not hesitate to bite the other person's throat and kill him with the most cruel method.
It can make Dahal, who has always been calm and cautious, become what he is now. You can imagine how many blows he received along the way.
"listen to me,"Dahal pulled his fourth adjutant over, and seemed to use his last strength to instruct: "You must convey the news to the Duke. "
But now Dahar has no time to hate, nor is he qualified to hate. He can only try his best to send the news back to the Burgundy camp:
They faced not only the Western Qin people, but also the local Germans in Switzerland. This was still reasonable, but the problem was that Dahal, who had been in battle for a long time, clearly recognized the person who ambushed them. There were also Italians and people from the Holy Roman Empire.
This is a very serious situation. If the Western Qin people and the local Swiss nobles unite, as well as the Holy Roman Empire, which has already promised not to intervene in this battle, and even Italy, which has always been neutral, then the only one who will suffer in this battle is A Burgundian.
Of course, Dahal would not know that there were only 5,000 soldiers from the Holy Roman Empire, and they were joining this battle as mercenaries, and he would not know that the coalition forces were only native-born Italian soldiers. There are only a few hundred people, and now their leader is just a viscount under the Duke of Switzerland.
Even so, the news that Dahal will deliver is very important, because the Western Qin people have contacted so many forces, so their current military strength is definitely not what Archduke John originally imagined. If the Grand Duke proceeds according to the original arrangement, he will definitely suffer a loss.
"Quickly go!" Dahal yelled, pushed him away, and used his body to block the flying arrow for the adjutant.
"Bang!" With a heavy landing, this Burgundian officer, who had been cautious all his life, fell to the battlefield unwillingly
At the last moment of his gaze, he seemed to see that the fourth adjutant also fell in the rain of arrows and failed to escape alive.
