Warlock Royal Family

Chapter 248: Food for the Seven Days

( ) By the time Odd Kessler and Kessell Witting realized they had been tricked, it was too late.

By the time the sky cleared and hundreds of cavalry returned, the night battle was over.

Although the Archbishop's Palace has been completely destroyed, and most of the buildings in the urban area on the east bank of the Salz River have been destroyed, the most important stone bridge still stands, and the city's pattern has been preserved. As long as the rock salt in the mine can be restored Output, the speed of recovery will be very fast.

All the captives have been controlled again. This time, the remaining 400 miners are really going to work as slave labor together with nearly 2000 other people.

The only difference is that some go to Vienna to move bricks, while others go to mines to dig salt.

Hate to confirm Najib Thompson's rumours, but it's impossible not to punish these poor souls anyway.

Nagy Thompson was not caught, he managed to escape with his cronies, although this made the difficulty of the night battle easier, although Ladislaus was not satisfied with his troops at all, but after only one round of shock those The miners known as "strong soldiers" who caused countless devastations in Salzburg were destroyed by Ladislaus' troops.

But the flip side of the easy win also means that a tough foe who gave Ladislaus a marijuana case is alive and will continue to cause trouble.

The cavalry who pursued again failed to find him. Ladislaus guessed that he might not even take the difficult mountain road, but chose to escape over the mountain.

In any case, this battle forced the Austrian army to raise its vigilance and allow more forces to escort the prisoners back to Vienna.

Plus other headwinds.The Austrians did not approach Augsburg until mid-April.

But the rebel army near the city of Munich.It was indeed repeatedly swept up by the Bavarian and Austrian armies several times.

Today Ladislaus and his main aides went to the city to attend the celebration banquet of the Duke of Bavaria, but were blocked after returning to the camp outside the city.

"His Royal Highness, it has been more than ten days, and not a single envoy from Augsburg has been killed." The young Mr. Fugger finally found Ladislaus who refused to see him. This time he was really anxious. Already, kneel down to Ladislaus desperately.

"Oh, what are you doing?" Ladislaus explained helplessly while motioning Cassano Cavalier to help him up. "Mr. Fugger. Your family has given great support to the warlock royal family for many years. I am actually as eager as you."

"Since His Royal Highness said so, why didn't you send troops straight to Augsburg immediately?" Although he couldn't express his emotions by kneeling under the arms of Cassano Cavaliers, it was obvious that the young man thought of his extravagant If the reliance on excessive living is gone, he is really going crazy, he has already ignored etiquette and directly urged Ladislaus.

In fact, he would not have been so desperate if he had understood the value of the Fuggers to the Habsburgs: if the Augsburg treasury were destroyed, the Warlock Royal Family would definitely be in trouble.

Although Austria does not currently have much business dealings with the Fugger Textile Association.Unlike Spain, where a large amount of business is handled through it, but if it comes to a critical moment, this organization will definitely be willing to help.For the finances of the Kingdom of Spain and the Grand Duchy of Austria, this banking organization can provide liquidity at critical moments to ensure a minimum payment capacity.

So Ladislaus is not entirely deliberately delaying, but it is indeed necessary to prepare for supplies.

"In any case, at least the soldiers must have seven days' rations before I can enter the army." This is already the minimum.There is no supply line, and there are almost no recruits to accompany the army. Ladislaus can only let the soldiers pay for their own food, which greatly affects combat effectiveness and mobility, especially in the current season.

Left the local supply support.Winter is a big problem.

In fact, Ladislaus believes that his army now only has a combat radius of [-] kilometers.

Although the Danube and its tributary, the Inn River, flow through the war zone, the navigability of the upper Danube River during peacetime is very poor.Much worse than between Linz and Vienna.

Coupled with the fact that several insurgents have cut off the shipping, the small group of enemies in the valley is very difficult to destroy, so Ladislaus must get supplies from Munich before entering Augsburg.

"When the Duke of Bavaria met, didn't he say that as long as you helped him put down the rebellion, he would provide you with all your rations?" The young Fugger obviously didn't understand the dangers of human beings, and he mistakenly thought that the trust among businessmen also existed in Among the nobles, one-tenth of the promise of the great nobles is almost enough.

"The city of Munich has barely provided us with rations in the past few days, and there is no surplus to store. In fact, my soldiers don't even have overnight food." Of course, the complaints of the great nobles are not credible, Ladislaus In order to prevent the Duke of Bavaria from turning his face, there is still a little pressure on the bottom of the box.

This is not to say that the Duke of Bavaria has any signs of such actions. He is very harsh on food, but it is true that the large-scale rebellion faced by the Principality of Bavaria has left him devastated. It is very difficult, not to mention that this army is going to rescue a commercial city that has always been at odds with the principality.

Not only was there no sign or even a motive, who would initiate such a crisis during a peasant uprising, but Ladislaus insisted on the worst possible military preparations at all times.

At the moment, it is just to make the situation miserable so that Mr. Fugger will bleed a little more.

"You also know that the Grand Duchy of Bavaria has always wanted to annex the wealthy free cities in this area. It is only natural that he refuses to cooperate this time." Ladislaus said that he did not need information to know himself I can't say anything wrong, anyway, any powerful prince has this kind of ambition for a wealthy free city.

"What should I do? Your Royal Highness, you must save Augsburg." Although when he left Augsburg, he received many instructions from the patriarch, but for this sake, the young Fugger had already He couldn't remember the patriarch's Chunchun teachings, and exposed his anxiety and panic to the fullest.

Looking at the prey he slaughtered in front of him, he was very happy. Ladislaus still maintained a worried expression and sad eyes: "If my soldiers are asked to fight without civilian men, they will be very worried and may even lead to a mutiny." , then it will be a big deal.”

"Please be very careful, Your Highness the Archbishop. If your army also disintegrates, then the whole of Central Germany will no longer have the power to maintain justice and order." Grand Priest Hohenzollern cooperated quite well. "It is necessary to collect twice as much food and horse feed, and distribute a batch of supplies to the soldiers."

"There is another disadvantage, Your Highness, the size of the rebel army is quite astonishing. There are at least several teams of thousands of people between Augsburg and Munich. It is said that the rebel army besieging Augsburg is even closer. You must be cautious." Frundsberg's understanding is not bad.

Mr. Fugger was shaky when he heard it, and it seemed that Augsburg could only fend for itself.
