Vol 6 Chapter 84: 1 battle

In July, Holy Roman Emperor Maximian suffered a small setback in Switzerland.
After a bitter battle, the Swiss federal state headed by Graubünden defeated the imperial army at the woodcut castle, and forced the Emperor Maximian to have to admit the Swiss dominance of their own land. That is to say, this setback The price is that nine Swiss cantons have been completely independent from Maximian.
This is really not good news for the always high-hearted emperor, but the worse news that comes with it is nothing compared to this.
From the Hungarian side about the Balkans, Maximian was stunned, and the bad news of the Fugger family completely embarrassed the emperor into a frenzy of madness.
No money?
Not only does the Fugger family face debts, it may even be completely ruined?
This series of accidents made the emperor suddenly feel as if he was walking and walked into a trap. The previous mood was suddenly gone, and as the foot seemed to be suddenly pulled away by the footboard, he suddenly fell into it. In the bottomless quagmire.
No money, no Hungarian copper mine, no financial support from the Fugger family, Maximian immediately became panicked, he knew that although he had the title of noble emperor, but this did not make him creditable to the military. The reason is worse, his rule in Vienna is not very stable, and the Bohemian King Ladislas has been guarding against his coveting of Hungary. Maximian believes that if he is a Ladislas Knowing that he has encountered such a dilemma, he will definitely take the opportunity to eradicate those forces in Hungary.
Maximian felt that he must be invigorated. He must use a victory or something to show his strength to all who stared at him, otherwise those enemies would rush to him like a hungry wolf.
The emperor would have thought of this for his reasons. At the beginning, the purpose of joining the Swabian Union was to suppress the Swiss people by the suppression of the Swiss, who were always dying. The most reassuring thing was Frankfurt. .
This place seems to have become active recently, but that kind of activity is not what the emperor wants to see. He already knows that Frankfurt seems to have frequent trade transactions with the lowlands, and the result of these trade transactions seems to have a force. Quietly support the Swiss to make trouble.
The emperor who originally wanted to teach the Swiss to give a little bit of color to the German princes realized that he must re-establish his prestige immediately after encountering setbacks, even if the bad news brought by the Fugel family made him a little bit confused, but he After receiving help from the Milanese, the army, which had just failed in Switzerland, was ordered to enter northern Italy.
According to the order of the emperor, the imperial army was divided into two batches from Turin and Varese to Milan, although Ludovico did not expect that he would not only lose so badly when he asked Maximian for help. He was even directly declared deposed by Louis XII, but he knew that the French were bad, so even though he had not yet fought at the time, he still hurriedly sent people to the emperor for help.
It was just that Maximian failed to save the poor Ludviko. When one of his troops entered Turin, it happened to be the day when Louis XII announced the dethronement of the Ludovico Duke of Milan.
Louis XII did not expect Maximian ’s army to come so fast. After a short rest, he decided to march south of Lombardy. He did this to follow the example of King Charles VIII and the great conquerors in history. We entered the Vatican ’s feat, but also because of the news about Romagna.
Except for Milan and Naples, which have traditionally had various ties with France, whether Louis XII has the ambition to further invade the entire Italy, no one can make it clear, because he has never publicly expressed the demand for the entire Italian peninsula, But the fighting in Romagna still made Louis XII seem to see a rare opportunity to intervene in this important region of Italy.
When the French army departed from Milan, Louis XII sent the Count of Provence, Garroll de Bowwicken, to lead an army down the road not far from the coast, and he himself decided to lead the army along the gradual The east foot of the uplifted Apennines.
The purpose of this is to be able to control Tuscany and Romagna at the same time.
When this order was issued, the ministers around the king couldn't help but be ecstatic, because it meant that the king had decided to take Italy into his pocket.
It was just that Louis XII had not thought that his army had yet to leave the plains of Lombardy, and there was news that the imperial army had entered Lombardy North.
Like Louis, Maximian, who divided the army into two parts, first occupied Turin, which really surprised the French. Many officers who had participated in the Charles VIII expedition would not forget that they were almost cut off and returned to France. The nightmare of retreat, and now the emperor's army from Turin directly threatened the back of the French army, which caused the French army to panic.
Louis XII was a shrewd king. If he talked about the means in the court, his predecessor was obviously not as good as the successor of the Orleans department, but Louis was not necessarily better at military than Charles VIII.
So when he heard that Maximian had arrived, Louis XII decided to summon his generals to discuss the countermeasures, and the result of a discussion was that he had to order to stop marching southwards, and to face the direction of Milan quickly The approaching Vienna army.
At the same time, Louis ordered the army of Count Provence to advance to Varese to protect the flanks of the king's army.
Louis XII's decision was firm and decisive, but for Caesar, who hoped for the stars and the moon, and hoped that the French would come to the rescue, he finally failed to stick to the last few days.
At noon on August 25, about 4,000 Montina troops were ready to go. After a violent shelling that was almost inclined, the Montina army began to attack Ferrara.
This can be said to be the first truly tough battle of the Montina army since it became an army. As it gradually approached, flying arrows and whistling projectiles rushed toward the Montina from the city wall.
Casualties began to appear in the Montina, and occasionally someone fell down with arrows, and several artillery pieces that Caesar tried to bring into the city began to throw deadly shells into the Montina formation.
The battle was obviously more difficult than Gompati ’s imagination. The resistance of the Pope even surprised Gompati and felt a trace of pressure.
Caesar climbed the city wall, wearing a not very heavy armor, a thick robe wrapped inside the armor.
With a long sword in his hand, Caesar stumbled on the pothole wall. In addition to several gaps that had been hit by the continuous bombardment, Ferrara's wall was already crumbling. Some places even only need to be slashed down. There was a large piece of gray stone falling, and now Caesar was walking on top and looking at the Montina army under the city. He couldn't help feeling nervous from the bottom of his heart.
However, the performance of the Pope still made Caesar overjoyed. He kept walking up and down while vigorously inspiring the morale, and even a few times if he was not a guard, he was shot and injured.
Caesar's extraordinary bravery clearly inspired the soldiers of the Pope. They began a fierce counterattack against the Montina. When the Montina attacked a gap, a group of experienced veterans not only blocked the gap. , And even launched a counterattack that was small in scale but made the pope's army more powerful.
Gompati looked at the distant wall and silently pondered. He did not expect that the Pope would be so brave, and Caesar's almost desperate move made him a little embarrassed.
In fact, Gompati has ordered a ban on attacks in the direction that Caesar might appear.
"Avoid hurting Caesar." This was a secret order Barondi gave Gompati.
The reason for using the secret order is that Barenti knew that if the order was made public, it would definitely affect Montina ’s military heart. Although she knew that the order would be known soon after it was executed, but She has no other choice.
Because it was repeatedly told by Alexander in the letter to her.
Barendi doubted that this was the result of Lucrezia's letter to Alexander, crying and pleading, but in the letter to Alexander, she gave her another reason that sounded difficult to refuse.
"I need the Pope's support now, and you don't need to worry about the French interfering in Romagna. You just have to wait patiently to get Caesar out of Ferrara soon, so we don't need to destroy Caesar himself."
Balenti was a little hesitant when he received the letter. She was worried that once the French really entered Caesar by supporting Caesar, it would be the beginning of disaster for Montina. After all, Montina ’s army is Can not compete with up to tens of thousands of French troops.
This is why she still treats Master Fischer even though she refused it. In Barendi's opinion, once there is a real conflict with the French, maybe Master Fischer can still be a good middleman.
When news of the French marching into Romagna came, Barendi had a feeling that the end was coming. She even started to consider whether she should avoid the French's sharp edge and lead the army to withdraw from Montina, although in this way they would Losing the base that he relied on, Balendi could not see that the army established by Alexander was in danger of being destroyed.
It was just that she hadn't thought of anything. The move of Maximilian into Milan completely disrupted Louis XII's plan. When he heard that the French had to turn around, Barenti rushed straight into the Montina Church. Then he vowed in public to thank God for this miracle with 100 days of hard work that only filled with bread and water.
However, before fulfilling her promise, Barendi gave Gompati an order to attack Ferrara, and then she took off her gorgeous dress and put on the black robe of the trainee to begin her prayer of wish.
As for the doubt that has been lingering in her heart, Barenti never mentioned it to anyone.
That's how she couldn't figure out how Alexander knew in advance that Maximian would send troops to Milan, so it required her to wait patiently to drive Caesar out of Ferrara.
The Pope's army is still resisting, but this resistance is different from the beginning.
When the most elite group of mercenaries bravely counterattacked, Caesar once thought a miracle would happen.
But in fact, in the face of the fact that the strength is very different, such things as miracles are not so easy to appear.
When the initial passion and courage were torn apart by muskets and artillery into vague flesh and pieces, the morale that finally formed in the Pope's army disappeared instantly.
From the beginning, soldiers backed away until more and more people escaped their positions and fled to the city. The resistance of the Pope Army lasted for about 2 hours.
Caesar's throat shouted dumb, and his sword-wielding hands became exhausted. What's worse was that besides a few loyal guards around him, he could no longer see any figure.
Caesar could feel that the battle was always just near him, which made him finally realize what, seeing that Montina ’s army had begun to flow in orderly from those gaps, he finally threw his sword weakly and sat down. On a stone.
Several Montina soldiers approached, and they seemed to turn a blind eye to Caesar, but someone took the sword he dropped, and when he saw several Montina soldiers looking like officers, Caesar stood up hard and then Straightened his waist and looked at the other people.
"I am the Pope's son, Duke Valentino and Ferrara's Conqueror Caesar Borgia."
His voice was firm and powerful, although he was a little husky, he didn't hesitate at all.
"I'm the commander of the army of Lord Count Montana, Charlotte Compati." Compatiti smiled and nodded. "Master, I need to show you that you are not a captive of our army but our guest, but Your army will not be treated like this. If you do not order to stop resistance, I will order my army to wipe out the enemy completely. "
Looking at Gumpati who smiled and said this, Caesar didn't know how to respond for a while, and until Gumpati reminded him again, he didn't seem to be awake.
"You dare to attack the Pope's territory, don't you know that I have announced that this city is dedicated to my father?" Caesar asked angrily, and he still has some difficulty in believing that Barendi ordered the attack. Lara, he couldn't help saying loudly to Gompatti, "Let Gombré come to see me. I want to know what he wants to do."
Caesar's anger was not answered by Gompati. He just turned back to the messengers around him and began to chase down the broken pope. When he ordered, he seemed to raise his voice deliberately: "Order to destroy all enemies that have not stopped resisting. Because they did not get an order of truce, all the pope army will be regarded as refusing to surrender. "
Caesar's mouth snapped open. He knew what the command meant. Looking at the herald who turned away, he ignored the dignity and restraint and shouted desperately with his already hoarse voice: "Stop ~ EbookFREE.me ~ I order you to stop! "When seeing the messenger continue to run forward regardless of his words, Caesar finally shouted helplessly to Gompati:" I promise you, a truce! "
Gompati blew a whistle hard, and the herald soldiers stopped and heard everyone's eyes on Caesar.
Caesar took a deep breath. He looked at the Montina army under the guidance of the snare drum and the flag, which was constantly advancing towards the completely defeated Pope's army. After a short struggle and hesitation, he finally said: "I take Valen In the name of the Duke of Tino and the commander-in-chief of the Pope ’s Army, the Pope ’s armistice will cease in place from now on. "
Hearing Caesar's words, Compatti finally relieved himself. He bowed to Caesar and then walked along the ruins to the city.
At this time, Gompati was brewing a rigorous letter in his mind: "Dear Countess, please allow me to report to you that Ferrara and the afternoon of August 25, with the permission of the Duke of Valentino, have handed over to our army . "
