The Rise of Iceland

Vol 3 Chapter 244: Gustav II

"Iceland Rise (!

Nuremberg is the second largest city in the Principality of Bavaria, second only to the capital Munich. It has a fertile Pegnitz River basin, which can produce luxuriant products and grains, the most famous being soft gingerbread and dark beer.

Hundreds of years later, Nuremberg is Siemens’ hometown, but now even the first industrial revolution hasn’t been seen. Nuremberg is purely a strategically significant agricultural city.

Gingerbread is a snack baked with spicy spices such as flour, honey, sugar, dried nuts and pepper. It is generally recognized as a food that originated in Germany and is now a food for Christmas or large-scale celebrations. Nuremberg's gingerbread and other foods The place is different, it is a kind of soft gingerbread with a taste similar to bread, and the taste is also very unique. It is a well-known delicacy.

Nuremberg and the Principality of Bavaria are currently part of the Catholic League, an electoral region firmly controlled by the Holy Roman Empire. It is not too far from Austria where Habsburg is located, and it is basically in Gustav II. The forefront of the confrontation with the Holy Roman Empire.

Gustav II negotiated with the Holy Roman Empire several times in Nuremberg, but the results were not satisfactory. Although he was beheaded by Gustav II, Habsburg seemed to have no intention of a truce. For Sweden The idea of ​​substituting Austria to enjoy the suzerainty of the German states is just a feeling of anger.

After the negotiations collapsed, Wallenstein, the first general of the Holy Roman Empire, also led his army to Nuremberg. In the valley outside the ancient city-state of Nuremberg, the military commanders of the two camps have been confronting each other, looking for a decisive battle.

Gustav II lived in a village that had been turned into a military camp. While eating soft gingerbread that had just been baked, he pointed to a map to tell his generals about his strategic intentions.

"Our army number is less than 30,000, and the front line is deep to the south. At present, we cannot start a war rashly. We still have to wait for reinforcements from the rear! I have asked Uksenchena to lead a reserve army and supplies to support, as long as they When we arrive, we will be able to wipe out Wallenstein in one fell swoop and let Habsburg completely obey him!

Gustav II was full of spirits, the curls on his lips were very delicately trimmed, and his handsome and elegant temperament was vividly set off by the exquisite armor and piercing eyes.

The generals of Sweden were not shining in front of Gustav II by such ancient famous generals, and could only be used as tools.

Amidst the echoes of the generals, Gustav II squinted his eyes and looked into the distance, and said solemnly: "Wallenstein will never take the initiative to attack! But you have to guard against it, just in case the Holy Roman Empire When the army of stunned their heads, bury them outside Nuremberg!"

Time flew by in the military confrontation. Seeing time entered the end of October, after three consecutive days of heavy rain, the weather suddenly dropped a lot, but for the Swedes living in Northern Europe, this temperature is not counted. what.

That morning Gustav II suddenly received a letter from the rear. After reading it, he called the Baron Weiss sent by Uxenschena a few days ago and asked: "Weiss, the Prime Minister invited Did the Duke of Iceland participate in the war? How did the rear say that Hadar, Duke of Iceland and Olaf, Earl of Winland, personally led the army to appear in northwestern Germany? Was it the prime minister's successor?"

"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister didn't tell me when the ministers came, so I don't know either." The thin Weiss said with his hands.

Gustaf II frowned and said, "Could it be that Hadar came to show loyalty?"

Just when Gustav II was puzzled by the news that the Icelandic army appeared in the rear, suddenly the front line changed again.

The scouts who went to Wallenstein's position to spy on intelligence reported Wallenstein's movements, and their army retreated to the northeast overnight.

Gustav II has been reluctant to say anything because he went deep alone, and he was not fully prepared and sure to win a war with Wallenstein, but now Wallenstein retreated to the northeast, which made Gustav. The II was very pleased. His Majesty, who knew the German region well, remembered that the northeast was the electorate of Sax. The attitude was ambiguous before. Although he did not dare to resist, he was not as submissive as Prussia. If Wallenstein's army suppressed the territory, and the Marquis of Saxophone would definitely help him against himself, and if it caused the rebellion of the Northern Duchy, which had already surrendered to Sweden, all previous efforts would be lost.

Gustav II was keenly aware that Wallenstein’s purpose might be that northern Germany had surrendered to the Swedish states. He hurriedly ordered: "Improve the military appearance immediately. We must catch up with Wallenstein as soon as possible. We must not let him change. Our layout in the north, as well as Weiss, you personally convey my order to Uksenshina to stabilize the north as soon as possible, organize an army to help me attack Wallenstein, and let him pay attention to the army of the Duke of Iceland If necessary, you can ask Hadar to help us deal with Wallenstein..."

...

After living in Bremen for more than half a month, Hadar and Olaf suddenly saw an envoy sent by Prime Minister Uxen Siena, and he brought a letter from Uxen Siena.

Olaf saw from the letter that Uksenchener was happy and pleased that Hadar and his sons led the troops to help the battle, and at the same time asked Hadar's army to obey his orders and immediately assemble in the Principality of Prussia.

After discussing with Olaf, Hadar fully agreed, and then politely sent away the messenger.

After waiting for two days, the cavalry on the front line inquired about the news came back, and also brought back the news of the Wallenstein army and the Gustav II army going to the Electoral State of Sax.

Olaf's heart moved, he looked at the map carefully, and then smiled: "It seems that Lu Cen's decisive battle is about to begin!"

"Dad, we can't go to Prussia. Following Uxenschina's arrangement will only give us some weak military merits, and there is a risk of being sent to death as cannon fodder by him, but we go directly to Lützen and rescue Gustav II. Shicai is the fundamental purpose of a hard month!"

Olaf pointed to the inconspicuous town of Lützen on the map and said to his father.

Hadar nodded and said, "Olav, what you said is correct. We can't follow the arrangements of Uksenshina. We have not had a close relationship with him. It is not wise to be completely obedient to others on the battlefield, but we violated him. Does the arrangement violate our slogan for this trip..."

Hadar’s doubts made Hudick nod slightly, Olaf thought for a while, and said: "We have not violated the orders of Lord Uksenchena. We have agreed to the messenger, and we will set off to the Principality of Prussia in the next few days. Master Uksenschina has joined~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Even if you are from Bremen...

It’s just that we don’t know much about the German region. We inevitably lost our way when we were on our way. Then we appeared in Lützen, then participated in the war and saved Gustav II..."

"Papa..."

Hudick couldn't help clapping and laughing: "Olav is really smart! This is a great brain!"

Hadar also grinned and said: "That is natural. We only need to save His Majesty Gustav II, whether they believe it or not, whether Uksenschena suspects that we are making excuses and having great credit for obtaining With the friendship of His Majesty Gustav II, our goal has been achieved! Olaf, this action is up to you, and Hudik and I will respect your opinions and arrangements!"
