Could he succeed in doing this he would be in a position to dictate terms to the emperor in Vienna. On the 12th of October he reached Neuberg, on the Danube, and halted there, awaiting the arrival of his siege train from Donauworth. While making the most vigorous exertions to press on the necessary arrangements for his march against Vienna he received the most urgent messages to return to Saxony.
The capture of Augsburg was hailed with peculiar satisfaction, as the city was regarded as the birthplace of the Reformation in Germany. Leaving a garrison there the king retraced his steps along the Lech to Neuberg, and marched thence to join Marshal Horn in front of Ingolstadt. This town was one of the strongest places in Germany and had never been captured.
Neuberg, an accomplished German admirer of some fortune resident in London, he made his first direct acquaintance with the country of whose literature he had long been himself the English interpreter. The outlines of the trip may be shortly condensed from the letters written during its progress to his wife and mother.
He had originally been inclined to favour Neuberg, chiefly, so Aerssens thought, on account of his political weakness.
Six years later he made his second expedition to Germany, in the company of two friends, a Mr. Foxton who is made a butt and the faithful Neuberg. Of this journey, undertaken with a more exclusively business purpose, and accomplished with greater dispatch, there are fewer notes, the substance of which may be here anticipated.
Tilly had now recovered his senses, but was suffering intense agony from his wound, and on being consulted by Maximilian he advised him to fall back, as the destruction of his army would leave the whole country open to the Swedes. The Imperialists accordingly evacuated their position and fell back in good order during the night on Neuberg, and then to Ingolstadt.
