Warlock Royal Family

In the next few days, when Ladislaus was lying in bed reflecting and reminiscing about the price of underestimating the "protection of the country", the Swiss mercenaries from top to bottom were looking forward to urging the Duke of Bourbon to advance early day and night.

The Duke of Bourbon withstood the pressure. Although he squeezed toothpaste one after another, he gave 2 Swiss people and more than 4 talers, and promised them to return to their hometown in Switzerland after they robbed Milan. Finally, they waited until April. In the last ten days of the month, after all fourteen light trebuchets were in place, they entered Bikka.

Although it is called light, it is compared to the trebuchets used by the navy and siege. This kind of trebuchet designed for field combat is still very heavy. Ordinary roads cannot bear this kind of war equipment before renovation.

Along with these catapults, there are two tenth-level and eleventh-level mages who can use "Tan Shuer Aiming Technique".

The French scout cavalry did not detect the low wall that had been repaired. The fighting of the Habsburg scouts, including Ladislaus, kept the French army never close enough to the camp or the low wall.

The Duke of Bourbon only waited for the trebuchets that needed to be repaired before being transported by land out of military caution.

On April 4, the Swiss mercenaries who had finally received the Duke of Bourbon's marching order had finished their breakfast before their nature was clear, and all set off, wanting to get to the battlefield as quickly as possible, rob Milan as soon as possible, and go home to farm as soon as possible.

This idea couldn't be better for the Duke of Bourbon. As long as the Habsburg army of 3 to [-] people in front of him is defeated, the Habsburg side will not be able to send out a force that can compete in a short time.Letting the Swiss go home eased the logistical burden and allowed them to ignore the war dividends.

It's not that the Swiss don't know that if they win, other city-states that go south to Italy will inevitably surrender. As the core force of the conquerors, they will definitely get some administrative power.But the Swiss leaders also understand their embarrassing position in the French system. They would rather be chickens than cows, and would rather return to their hometown after fulfilling their obligations to the French king. You France, Spain, and Austria are tossing around.

This is also the common aspiration of all Swiss people.

Before setting off, several leaders of the Swiss mercenaries laughed at the trebuchet brought by the Duke of Bourbon.What to say is to wait for this kind of goods, trebuchets have never been of much use on the battlefield, and it is common for a few hours of tossing without killing a single person.

We Swiss don't have such big monsters.No, we have won so many battles. Even if we suffer occasional setbacks, it is because the enemy wins. Since there are only 2 people on the other side, our [-] Swiss heroes can fight all of them.Of course, other allied forces want to play such a small role, and we have no objection.

One of the Haraha knights also said: "We Swiss are not used to fighting with more people than each other, and we lose our share."

Marching all the way, the Swiss did not need officers to urge them.It reached the speed of a fast march, which was less than ten miles away.Although gradually throwing off the main force of the French army for more than 10 minutes, the French trebuchets once again dragged down the speed of the entire army.

Although the Duke of Bourbon was slightly dissatisfied with the actions of those Swiss guys who criticized Sanghuai.I am still very happy with their will to fight, thinking that the military spirit is available, so they sent the perfect knight Bayard with fifty French nobles and five hundred French soldiers to join the Swiss team together as a witness and a symbol of French-Swiss friendship. necessary constraints.

When they saw the arcane army formed behind the low wall that was several miles long, they didn't think there would be any problem with the low wall, did they seem to be able to jump over it, and what about those cowards hiding behind the wall? up?Still a coward.

That's right, in the minds of today's Swiss mercenaries, those who shoot arrows, throw javelins, and use magic can all be summed up in three words, "coward". Started with the "Bow of Freedom" and killed the former Austrian Grand Duke.

They only remember that team spirit, intensive promotion, and roaring and charging are the keys to victory. For the recent defeat, they simply think that there are too many French and Venetians, and they are not afraid of any of them.

Fifteen thousand Swiss quickly regrouped from marching formation to shock formation.

According to the width from the swamp in the west to the ditch in the east, they arranged two square formations, each 100 people wide and 75 rows deep. These relatives in the same village knew each other and trusted each other, and the speed of their reorganization was amazing.

In less than 10 minutes after reaching about two hundred paces north of the wall, they were about to attack!

This scene made Ladislaus dumbfounded, and it was indeed the Swiss shock that made even the big European countries terrified.

Ladislaus' injury has not completely healed. In fact, the arrow of the Marquis Lautek is limited in its power. The real injury was caused by the "knee" dragging the ground. Today, he is still sore all over, with thick flesh and blood Duo's "knee" would have healed long ago.

A negative status of "poor muscle condition" is hanging on the panel, 4 agility, which is really bad.

Ladislaus rejected the acting Grand Duke's suggestion to change a horse. In his opinion, "Knee" was able to calmly bring himself back to the camp after being hit by an arrow. Time, usually can be a little flexible.

At this time, Ladislaus sat on the horse and watched how the Chinese army's banner was commanded. This plan is not the same.

The tactics of the Swiss also greatly exceeded the expectations of the acting Grand Duke and Prime Minister Sazastan. It is said that before the main forces of the two armies joined the battle, trebuchets should be thrown at each other. Start fighting in the formation, attack the opponent's skirmishers, and if possible destroy the dense phalanx of the opponent's phalanx infantry.

Ordinarily, with this battlefield fortification now, the enemy should need trebuchets to destroy several sections of this line of defense. Why did they charge like this?

Do you want to send out a dozen skirmishers with a caster like Ladislaus as the core?

The advancing speed of the Swiss is so uniform that it is very likely that the stragglers will not be able to climb over the long wall and retreat to the front line in time.

When the deputy grand duke was observing, the Bayar knight was already furious. He talked to those stubborn Swiss stones and asked them to wait for the French army and the trebuchet. Although the long wall opposite was not high, But it was a great hindrance to the impact. He even mentioned the body of the loudest knight Haraha in his anger, but this only made the Swiss even more frantic. Even if Bayar beat the crowd, in order to avoid Due to internal strife, he had no choice but to give in.

"If you are afraid, Knight Bayar, just stay behind and watch us break the formation. Perfect knight, I'm sorry." The humiliation just mentioned made Haraha knight even more irresponsible.

"You idiot, if you didn't send me to death this time, and you didn't kill me, I must let you know what happened to me, Ba Yaer."

Realizing that the Bayar knights were irretrievable, they stopped talking meaningless nonsense and just led their subordinates to the middle of the two Swiss phalanxes. All 550 French nobles and soldiers also silently guarded their defense against the French king. I swear, except for the two envoys who went to the Duke of Bourbon for help, everyone else is ready to invest in this extremely dangerous attack without hesitation.

Unfortunately, in order not to alienate the Swiss who do not have horses, Bayar did not bring a horse. The tall and calm knight could only silently pray to the Lord of the Dawn in the sun, hoping to be sheltered by the sun.

The only thing they are thankful for is that their recklessness made several catapults on the Habsburg side not ready to shoot immediately.

And those revolving crossbows that were urgently transported became useless waste because the bow strings were not well maintained and spares were not brought.

The costly shipment was of no value except the Ladislaus silk shirt.

This low-level mistake caused the official in charge of transportation to be deprived of the baronship that his father and grandfather had so hard to get for two generations. If it wasn't for Ladislaus' intercession, he might not even be able to save his life.

In short, as many great military strategists have said, on the battlefield, it is to see who makes fewer mistakes. . .
