The Rise of Iceland

Vol 3 Chapter 268: Catching Turtle in the Urn

     In the early morning of March 11, Ferdinand III ordered a meal of dried meat oatmeal for the soldiers of the army. After that, he appeared in front of the army wearing a half-length plate armor and a golden helmet, and gave the order to attack Leipzig Fort.

   Count Piport and other three generals personally led the soldiers to attack from three severely damaged locations. After a few hours of fierce battle, amidst the loud cheers from the front, the Bohemian soldiers finally rushed into the Leipzig Fort.

   At this time, in order to expand the results of the battle, Ferdinand III kept sending out the ten thousand troops left behind, so that only three thousand royal military police remained.

   Through the binoculars, Ferdinand III watched the two-headed eagle flag representing the Habsburg slowly being inserted on the Leipzig Fort ahead, and his mouth slowly showed a smile.

   But before he was happy for three seconds, a dozen loud cannons rang out from the rear left of the camp, and then the camp was hit by hot and roaring shells. The royal gendarmes suffered huge injuries due to the relative density of their stations.

   Stumped limbs and blood and brain plasm, etc. accompanied the heat to dissipate, crying, screaming, and screaming at the command position of Bohemia sounded at the same time.

Ferdinand III’s luck was good. The nearest shell was only a dozen steps away. He saw his personal guard Thomas being hit by the shell and turned into a pool of flesh, and he even smelled it. The smelly blood dance in the air made Ferdinand III, who had seen the cruel scene of the battlefield up close for the first time, his face pale and his mind was blank.

The captain of Ferdinand III’s gendarmerie was a middle-aged man named Thomas Arsheev, who was also the father of the little Thomas who was just killed by a shell. He was a Bohemian and an earl. The emperor of the fort, Ferdinand II, and, apparently, the king of Bohemia, Ferdinand III, were loyal.

In the face of a sudden emergency, Thomas ignored the pain of losing his son. He hurriedly rushed to Ferdinand III and said anxiously: "Your Majesty! The Protestant League has a large number of cavalry and artillery from the forest and mountain roads in the west and south. They rushed out. Their target is obviously you. The soldiers behind us are desperately resisting. Now Leipzig has been occupied by three generals. I will protect you and retreat to the castle!"

   Ferdinand III seemed frightened. The fear of death turned him into a puppet, obediently following the guards led by Thomas and marching towards the city.

   As soon as he walked into the street in front of Fort Leipzig, Ferdinand III faintly heard the sound of killing and the second round of shelling from behind, making his legs weak and cold sweat.

   Thomas felt his Majesty the King's body getting softer and weaker, and finally gritted his teeth on his back, and then stepped forward and shouted.

   But before Ferdinand III and his entourage approached Leipzig Fort, they heard waves of shouts and fights erupting from within the castle.

   "What's wrong?!" Ferdinand III's eyes widened and looked forward, and Thomas also stood on his toes in surprise.

   Soon, the Bohemian soldiers who entered the castle fled from the gap in the castle. They shouted that there was an ambush in the castle, making the Bohemian soldiers in Leipzig a little flustered for a moment.

At this time, for the words of the Bohemian Legion, there were cavalry artillery from the Protestant Union outside the city, and there were also a large number of Protestant soldiers in the castle. The reality of the enemy has been placed in front of everyone, the Earl of Piport and Ferdinand III. All soberly realized that they had entered the trap of Gustav II's meticulous weaving.

"Damn it!" Earl Piporter realized the gap between himself and the peerless general. Although he was still not convinced, his reason told him that after entering the trap of Leipzig, the Bohemian Army and the Swedish army were defeated. It has been decided that the best option at present is to break through and escape.

   "Your Majesty! Leipzig has become a trap. The soldiers outside the city can't stop the attack of the Protestant soldiers. We will be blocked in the city and become prisoners soon!"

   Count Piporter said anxiously: "We want to break through immediately! As long as we can leave Leipzig, we can retreat to the Eastern Pass after the remnants are gathered, and we won't be defeated!"

   Ferdinand III had already lost his backbone at this time. He just wanted to get away from this place of right and wrong as soon as possible. He hurriedly said: "Listen to the Lord, let's break through!"

At this time, the only three generals were Count Piport and another baron in his fifties. The other General Segoni was trapped in Fort Leipzig. The Count Piport knew that the situation was urgent and there was no way to rescue him. Saigoni is gone, so he said cruelly: "We will immediately rectify the military appearance and break out from the three streets in the north, west and south! Your majesty’s helmet changes with your ministers. You can break through the north, go around in a circle and then go to the eastern pass. , There are still our two thousand defenders there, enough to protect you, if we don’t join you before dark...you...you go back home quickly and send someone to negotiate with Gustav II..."

  Piporter exchanged his helmet with Ferdinand III after speaking, and then ordered the guards to leave Ferdinand III holding the double eagle flag.

   "Earl..." Ferdinand III was very clear about the purpose of Earl Piport. He would pretend to be himself and go out to attract a large number of Protestant coalition forces, and then create conditions for himself to break through, but this will make the Earl most likely unable to escape.

   Wiping the wet corners of his eyes, Ferdinand III rushed towards the northern streets with hundreds of guards.

  Because the southern block was the original command station of Ferdinand III, the two factions of soldiers have been fighting here. The three breaches in the south, east, and north, the southern block is also the area with the most Protestant soldiers and Bohemian soldiers.

   Because Earl Pipote is leading soldiers to break through the southern zone, this place has long been turned into a meat grinder. Every second, a soldier will fall, and every second, several soldiers will join the battlefield.

Gustaf II led the cavalry to disperse the remaining Catholic soldiers from the southern block ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and stormed into Leipzig. As a result, the cavalry was trapped among the Catholic soldiers and could only dismount and fight with gunshots and knives. Stabbing with guns and shouting to kill has made the Southern District the most lively place in Leipzig.

   Count Piporter and Gustav II saw each other two blocks away. The image of Gustav II has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, but Ferdinand III is unknown because of few appearances.

Piporter knew that the marshal on horseback guarded by the cavalry in the distance was Gustav II, and Gustav II also identified the Count Piporter with the golden helmet under the Double Eagle as Phadi. South III.

   Gustaf II was very happy and excitedly ordered the soldiers to rush over to catch "Ferdinand III."

Count Piporter also strengthened his conviction with a solemn expression, and ordered the soldiers to attack the Protestant soldiers, wanting to rush in front of Gustav II to kill and wound the Supreme Commander of the Protestant League, so that not only would Ferdinand III escape In danger, the Catholic League will also have long-term peace.

   "Almighty God! Please bless the great Ferdinand II and Ferdinand III, bless them in good health, and bless the Catholic Union to the ultimate victory..."

   While praying to the loyal Count Piporter of Habsburg, he looked forward with a firm gaze. He had made up his mind to "break the jade" and decided to bite Gustav II a piece of meat...
