King of German Mercenaries

After discovering that Charles VIII had escaped, Marin was very annoyed, but soon he realized that the French people's confidence had collapsed...

The king took the lead in fleeing, do the rest still have the confidence to continue fighting?

So Marin began to command his men who knew French to shout:

"The knights of France, your king, have taken the lead in a shameful escape. Do you still need to fight for such cowards? Don't die needlessly..."

"We promise to treat the prisoners preferentially. As long as you surrender, we will not kill anyone. The nobles will also receive preferential treatment..."

Marin quickly used the strategy of attacking the heart of the later People's Liberation Army...

"In addition, we will arrange for treatment for the injured knight brothers. But don't delay the treatment time, it will die and be disabled..."

...

Hearing this, Count Flair, who led the resistance of the remaining French knights, changed his face. Because he is also worried that he will become disabled...

When a timid baron came to suggest surrender, Flair quickly followed the donkey down the hill and agreed to surrender...

But there are also some stubborn people who are unwilling to surrender. They couldn't get away on their horses, so they simply dismounted and climbed over the fallen stones. Then, these people threw away their armor and weapons and ran away with their bare hands...

"My... my lord... the French surrender..."

Marin was still in command, but the French sent messengers, expressing their willingness to surrender...

"This is surrender?" Marin was a little stunned, but then overjoyed.

"Quick, go and accept their surrender. Inform Schwartz on the opposite side and prepare him to surrender."

"Besides, you tell the French to put aside their weapons and horses, and to stand on the left, and promise them preferential treatment for the prisoners!"

The French took a quick snapshot. Marin hurried down the mountain and surrounded the remaining 4,000 French people, preventing them from seeing the fact that there were only a thousand people on their side. In addition, Marin also sent someone to tie up these knights who knew martial arts. These people are all knights who know martial arts. If they resist, it will be very difficult to handle. So, tying it up first is the best option.

Then, Schwartz took his company and quickly gathered all the horses in the valley.

The horses in the valley suffered heavy losses from being struck by stones and bows and arrows. The war horses alone were crushed to death and 2,000 horses were injured. The naked draught horses suffered even worse losses, with up to 4,000 casualties.

There's no way this can be done. Who told the horses to be so large, stones and bows and arrows can even be covered by a blind person...

After counting, Marin was pleasantly surprised to find that there were still 2,000 intact war horses and 3,600 draught horses in the valley...

"Ahahahaha, I posted it!" Malin laughed loudly.

You know, a war horse is worth at least 100 ducats. 2,000 horses are equivalent to 200,000 ducats. A gold coin contains almost 3.5 grams of gold, 200,000 gold coins, almost 700,000 grams. According to the lowest price of 200 yuan per gram in later generations, it is worth at least more than 100 million soft sister coins... This makes Silk Knight Marin, how can he not be very excited?

In addition, those draught horses are also good horses of ordinary horses, which are only a little worse than war horses. Minimum, but also worth 20 gold coins. 3,600 draught horses can also be worth more than 70,000 gold coins...

All in all, Marin made a fortune, and made a fortune!

Here he is not finished, and there Schwartz also reports:

"What? Seized 6,000 sets of plate armor?" Marin almost fainted with joy.

You must know that in this era, a set of ordinary knight plate armor also requires 50 gold florins, which is equivalent to 50 ducats. And those rich nobles have plate armor, which is better made and more expensive, at least 100 ducats.

6,000 sets of French plate armor, at least 500 of which are high-grade armor worn by rich nobles,

Great value. Anyway, Marin posted...

The French soldiers and soldiers at this time had already been stripped of their plate armor and had become clothed in commoners, with their bare hands. At this time, they can't even turn the waves...

Well, it's dawn. In summer, the sun starts to dawn early, before 5 o'clock. Count Flor felt a little ashamed when he saw that the "German army" who captured them was only two or three thousand people (he regarded the group of Italian farmers as German mercenaries).

Marin treated these captives well, especially noble captives. Because, he learned, in the Middle Ages there was a habit of redeeming captured nobles. Generally speaking, for an earl, or a rich French earl, the ransom should be at least 50,000 gold coins.

That's why Marin treats Count Flor kindly. Count Flor's left leg was injured, and Marin personally instructed his subordinates to bandage Flor with boiled and dried gauze.

Then, the viscounts and barons who were captured with Flor were also treated with courtesy. It's not that Marin respects them, but that they are all gold coins!

But when it was just dawn, Marin suddenly thought of something and told Kohler:

"Quick, hide these war horses and armors, and hide them in the valley we hid before!"

Kohler was a little puzzled, and Marin explained:

"Those Italian grandchildren will most likely send someone here to take a look after dawn. Seeing so many trophies from us, don't you feel bad about robbing them?"

Kohler understood immediately, and then he took 100 of his most reliable men and directed Italian farmers to transport 2,000 war horses and plate armor to a secret location.

On the way, Kohler also picked up 2,000 sets of plate armor and horse armor that Charles VIII took off when he escaped...

Marin was not at ease, and before the Italians discovered the situation here, he quickly sent someone to call Kohler back. He simply led people to hold the prisoners, and the whole army went directly north.

You know, he has only 1,100 people, and he got such a large amount of wealth at once. If more than 10,000 Italians know about it, they will definitely be black and black.

Therefore, in order to avoid being robbed by his allies, he went directly north with the entire army. As for the more than 1,000 Italian peasants, he was also conscripted by him to help him transport the spoils. At the same time, weapons were also issued to them as mercenaries.

After all, a force of 2,000 people is considered a "big army" in Italy. In addition to the 10,000-strong coalition army, there are basically few in Italy with a few thousands of people who dare to attack such a "huge" team. At least, there is no such thing as Marin's northward withdrawal...
