By the time Oded Kessler and Kessel Witting realized they had been tricked, it was already 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 city on the east bank of the Salz River have also been destroyed, the most important stone bridge is still standing, and the city's layout has been preserved. As long as the rock salt in the mines can be restored

Output and recovery speed will be very fast.

All the prisoners have been controlled again, and this time the remaining 400 miners are really going to work as slave labor together with nearly 2,000 others.

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

Although I am very reluctant to confirm Najib Thompson's rumors, it is impossible not to punish these poor people no matter what.

Najib Thompson was not arrested. He successfully escaped with his cronies. Although this made the night battle less difficult, and although Ladislaus was not satisfied with his troops at all, it was only those who were killed after a round of attack.

The miners known as the "strong soldiers" who had caused countless damage in Salzburg were destroyed by Ladislaus's troops.

But the flip side of an easy victory also means that a tenacious enemy who built Ladislaus's marijuana case is still alive and will continue to cause trouble.

The cavalry who pursued again could not find any trace of him. Ladislaus speculated 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 increase their vigilance and use more forces to escort the prisoners back to Vienna.

Coupled with other unfavorable factors, the Austrian army had not approached Augsburg until mid-April.

However, the rebel army near Munich was indeed raided several times by the Bavarian and Austrian armies.

Today Ladislaus and his main assistants entered the city to attend the celebratory banquet of the Duke of Bavaria, but were blocked after returning to the camp outside the city.

"Your Majesty the Archbishop, it has been more than ten days and not a single envoy from Augsburg has been able to escape." Young Master Fugger finally found Ladislaus who refused to see him. This time he was really anxious.

, and kneeled down to Ladislaus desperately.

"Oh, what are you doing?" Ladislaus motioned to Knight Cassano to help him up and explained helplessly. "Mr. Fugger, your family has been helping the Warlock Royal Family for many years. In fact, I and you

Just as eager."

"Since His Highness the Archbishop said so, why didn't you immediately send troops to Augsburg?" Although he could not kneel down to express his emotions under the strength of Knight Cassano, it was obvious that the young man wanted to think of his luxury.

The support for his extravagant life was about to disappear, and he was really going crazy with anxiety. He no longer cared about etiquette and directly urged Ladislaus.

In fact, if he understood the value of the Fugger family to the Habsburg family, he would not be so desperate: if the Augsburg treasury was destroyed, the Warlock Royal Family would definitely be in trouble.

Although Austria currently does not have much business dealings with the Fugger Textile Association. Unlike Spain, which has a large amount of business handled through it, if a critical moment comes, 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 times to ensure minimum payment capabilities.

Therefore, Ladislaus was not entirely delaying on purpose, but indeed had to make supply preparations.

"No matter what, the soldiers must have at least seven days of rations before I can march into the army." This is already the minimum. With no supply lines and almost no civilians accompanying the army, Ladislaus can only let the soldiers bear their own responsibilities.

Food, which greatly affects combat effectiveness and mobility, especially in the current season.

Without local supply support, winter is a big problem.

In fact, Ladislaus believed that his army now only had a combat radius of one hundred kilometers.

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

Coupled with the current bad luck, the small group of enemies in the river valley is very difficult to destroy, so Ladislaus must obtain supplies from Munich before he can advance to Augsburg.

"When the Duke of Bavaria met, didn't he say that as long as you help him suppress the rebellion, he would fully provide you with rations?" The young Mr. Fugger obviously did not understand that people's hearts are sinister. He mistakenly believed that trust among merchants also existed.

Among the nobles, it is enough to believe only one-tenth of the promises made by the great nobles.

"The city of Munich has barely provided us with rations in the past few days. There is no excess to store. In fact, my soldiers don't even have overnight rations." Of course, the complaints of the nobles are not credible, Ladislaus

In order to prevent the Duke of Bavaria from turning against him, I still kept things under control.

This is not to say that the Duke of Bavaria has any signs of such actions. He is very demanding on food, but it is just because he is really overwhelmed by the large-scale rebellion faced by the Principality of Bavaria. In this case, it is natural to provide military rations to other troops.

It is very difficult, not to mention that this army is going to rescue a free commercial city that has always been at odds with the principality.

Not only was there no sign or even a motive, who would launch such a crisis again during a peasant uprising, but Ladislaus insisted that the worst military preparations should be made at all times.

At the moment, I just want to make the situation more miserable so that Mr. Fugger can shed more blood.

"You also know that the Grand Duchy of Bavaria has always wanted to annex the wealthy free cities in this area. It is natural that he refuses to cooperate this time." Ladislaus elaborated on the crisis. He did not need intelligence to know that he would not

What could I say wrong? Anyway, any powerful prince has this kind of ambition for a wealthy free city.

"What should we do? Your Highness, Archbishop, must save Augsburg." Although he received many instructions from the patriarch when he left Augsburg, the young Fugger had already

I couldn't remember the patriarch's Chun Chun teachings, and my anxiety and panic were clearly exposed.

Looking at the prey he was slaughtering 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 husbands, they will be very worried and may even trigger a mutiny.

, then it will be a big deal."

"Please be very careful, Your Highness the Archbishop. If your army is also disintegrated, then there will no longer be the power to maintain justice and order in Central Germany." The Hohenzollern Commander cooperated quite well. "

We must collect twice as much food and horse materials and distribute a batch of supplies to the soldiers."

"There is another disadvantage. Your Highness, the size of the rebels is quite alarming. There are at least several thousands of troops between Augsburg and Munich. The rebels who are now surrounding Augsburg are said to be even closer.

If you have ten thousand people, you must be cautious. "Frundsberg's understanding is not bad either.

Prince Fugger was shaken upon hearing this, and it seemed that Augsburg had no choice but to fend for itself.
