Battle of Wotanwald

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Ever since Dietrich had taken command of his archer reinforcements,he had been on brilliant mood. He had inspected the gear of the archers and had tryed their bows personally,while constantly loosing when shooting at targets,becouse he was no match in archery for the hunters and foresters that were assigned in his archer troops.
The rebels had been running all over Franconia,trying to escape Dietrichs forces. The campaign had started to be more like hunting party then army in search of the enemy.
Finally today, the starving and exhausted rebels had stopped running and had gathered on a hill near an ancient worship place, that had given the name for the area,Wotanwald.

Dietrich had gathered the commander of the archer and his other commanders to an ridge,where they could see the rebel forces. "Here is the plan mein herren. I have always wanted to see that ancient pagan worship place,so i will take the cavalry there out in the open, so the rebels can see us. Meanwhile you captain and your archers,will move around that hill and glimb from the other side, so that you will move in the flank of the rebels. Once you are there release few volleys on their dirty necks and me and my knights will come take care whats left of them.Understood captain?" Captain smiled on Dietrich and sayed "Exellent plan sire.We will put some arrows on their skulls,so they will understand that being a rebel in Franconia is short lived profession." Dietrich smiled back to the captain. He liked this simple man,who was somewhat an humorist on his simple and rugged way. "Allright then. If there is nothing to add. Lets go undo those rebel scum." Dietrich sayed and nodded to the men present.

As Dietrich moved through the open terrain with his knights,he could see how the rebels stood up and watched his men. The Franconian knights rode towards the ancient ruins, like they were on a field trip and didnt bother to watch the rebels.
Soon the Franconian archers had moved into the flank of the rebels and captain of the archers commanded "Loose!".

The rebels were completely suprised. Dozens of men died instantly on the arrow storm and all the rebel commander could do was to order his spear men forward towards the archers.
Once Dietrich saw that the rebels had divided themselves. He ordered "Charge!target the crossbow men!" When the knights struck the crossbows,behind the enemy spears, the whole rebel army routed.

Rebel spearmen had tryed to advance towards the Franconian archers,but all they had done was that they were struck an volley after volley of arrows. Once the crossbows behind them were crushed by Dietrichs knights,their morale soured and they ran. Only problem was that there was no where to run,so at the end all but four rebels were killed or captured.
Once the battle was over Dietrich lined up the remaining rebels and spoke to them.
"I am the Duke of these lands and by the law of the Reich i should hang each and everyone of you. But today i think you have seen that there is no point trying to rebel against your true lords. So you men are free now. The rebels were amazed, becouse they were sure that they would be all executed. Before any of them tryed to leave,Dietrich sayed "And one more thing. If i ever see or hear of your filthy faces accused even of stealing an egg. I will not only hang you,but your families and all your relatives i can get my hands on. I hope i have made my self clear."
