Warlock Royal Family

Chapter 147 Arrival of the French Army

The pain and troubles of the Haraha knight can be regarded as completely over after he fought hard.

Things don't seem to be much better for the Perfect Knight.

The Bayar Knight flying in mid-air is an excellent target, and Earl Slam will certainly not let it go.

In the air, even a perfect knight has no ability to dodge. Fortunately, behind the wall, several Swiss are picking up the retreating comrades one by one, and they transferred the Bayar knight in time.

Therefore, the Knights of Bayar will continue to stay in this world and bear all the sufferings of this world.

Although Earl Slam's arrow aimed at the heart failed to hit the most deadly part, the arrow inserted into the shoulder blade from the arm joint still made Bayar Knight unable to support himself with his hands after landing. The perfect knight of time can't stand up on his own.

Fortunately, his fighting spirit made all his comrades respect him. Several people around him who were almost crushed by his heavy armor grabbed his limbs and led him back all the way.

"Thank you." Knight Bayar expressed his gratitude in French, but unfortunately there is no one who can understand French. Although there are many Swiss whose mother tongue is French, these Swiss are all from the German-speaking area.

All the more than 50 French nobles except the Bayar Knights died on the other side of the long wall. Maybe some of the five hundred French soldiers in the past were still alive, but at least the surroundings of the Bayar Knights could not be seen.

Knight Bayar returned to a sea of ​​blue with extreme sadness.

Immediately, several priests began to treat his wounds, and various recovery medicines were also openly supplied. "Defending the country" is the most precious weapon of a country, and in terms of practicality and cost performance, it surpasses the "stating the country" that costs a lot in every battle.

The army of the Duke of Bourbon finally arrived. Although the forward who acted with the Swiss suffered unimaginable heavy losses, France still has [-] unscathed troops.

It's just that the current situation is actually very difficult to recover.

Looking at the retreating Swiss.The Duke of Bourbon tried his best to resist the urge to shake the morale of the army with a long sigh.

The trick acid splash used in the Ligurian parliament for fake fights, after limited formation and training, actually severely damaged the Swiss phalanx, which is known as a strong soldier.

This is because civilian soldiers are much lower in rank than noble councilors, and it is because of the mere one-meter-high low wall.

Tricks that are not even magic are so valuable. The Spanish Arcane Corps is bound to become a first-class force in the new continent, and it will also become a model for other countries to emulate.

A thousand Swiss were killed or injured during the attack, and more than 2000 were killed or injured during the climb over and back down the long wall.

Although the Habsburg army has not crossed the long wall to pursue.But the Swiss casualties continued to mount.

The Habsburg army's javelins and a small number of bows and arrows are no longer the main reason for this increase in numbers.

Most of the defeated soldiers on the left and right flanks fled into the ditches and swamps respectively. The ditches are fine, as long as they are not shot.Then this ditch less than five meters can always be climbed out.

It was extremely miserable on the swamp side. Although they faced the troops of the Colonna family just now, they suffered relatively little damage at that stage.

Although the equipment is not bad, the most important thing is the will to fight.The private soldiers of the Colonna family are still slightly inferior to the elites of Austria and Spain.

The real catastrophe began after entering the retreat phase, and the swamp along the edge of the long wall is now almost filled with the corpses of the Swiss, who opened the way for their countrymen to survive, although they did not want to.Basically squeezed out.

But there are still Swiss people who are pushed to the edge and plunged into the swamp.And now it's the turn of the Swiss to get stuck with relatives and neighbors.

The son wanted to pull his father back, but the father refused to leave MadeIn's son.

Many people died worthlessly in the swamp.

According to the preliminary information brought back by the scouts.The Duke of Bourbon judged that the final Swiss casualties were likely to exceed [-], which was more than [-]% in proportion, which was almost the limit of a rout battle.

Scanning the battlefield, the Duke of Bourbon once again confirmed with his own eyes that the situation was extremely bad.

Still, he was determined to make a last-ditch effort.

Unlike the Holy Roman Empire, where feudal nobles were able to act on their own, the Kingdom of France was a centralized kingdom, and most nobles had lost direct control over their land.

Only a few close branches of the royal family still control several small principalities. During the centralization of power in France, these principalities assisted the king to fight against foreign princes.

Today the most powerful and richest is the Bourbon duchy of the Bourbon branch, but the du lixing of these duchies is incomparable with the princes of the Holy Roman Empire.

Moreover, King Francois of France has long begun to adopt an attitude of killing donkeys towards these recent princes who strongly supported the centralization policy when his father was in office.

The restraint and penetration of these semi-duli principalities is steadily strengthening.

It is not difficult for the Duke of Bourbon to guess that if he mobilized the army repeatedly this time and consumed so many military supplies and diplomatic resources, and got such an end, then King Francois must have his own surgery.

Although it is impossible to confiscate the Principality, because the threat is also crucial to the legality of the King himself, it is certain to take the opportunity to cut off a big city or install a few people to occupy the important positions of the Principality of Bourbon.

The Duke of Bourbon must fight hard. If he can defeat the Habsburg army in front of him and retake the Milan area, then the loss of the Swiss will become a good thing, weakening the rebellious servants, and these guys asked for it.

But this matter is not so easy.

Now the Swiss are retreating, and it is impossible to use trebuchets. Fortunately, the Marquis of Lautek and Bensodoria, who arrived earlier, have dragged their horses through the channel with difficulty and are reorganizing on the opposite side.

Because a fairly complete defense plan was made during the occupation of Milan, the Duke of Bourbon knew the local geography very well.

A few miles behind the long wall, between the place where the Habsburg army deployed and their camp, there is a large wooden bridge. Your own cavalry can surprise this bridge and threaten the rear of the Habsburg army. .

However, a positive containment attack is also necessary.

The standard bearer of the Duke of Bourbon waved the flag again and again, urging the army to press on.

However, the Swiss rout blocked the battlefield and forcibly rushed away these allies who had already suffered huge casualties. Although it is understandable in the military, it is obviously politically incorrect. The complaint of the Swiss Union will definitely be the king of France's attack on the Duke of Bourbon. A weapon.

The Swiss rout not only blocked the road, preventing the French army from quickly entering the battlefield. At this time, when the rout passed through the French army formation and reorganized to the rear, it inevitably transmitted the pain and sadness of defeat to France. Soldier.

Horrible wounds and unceasing wailing, these scenes caused the morale of most of the French soldiers who were only mobilized to drop sharply.

Now that the Swiss were in the way, they naturally took the opportunity to advance more slowly.

The Duke of Bourbon soon realized this problem, and he ordered his guard cavalry to drive the Swiss not to pass through the formation, asking them to bypass the right flank.

But the damage has been done. Although the arrogance of the Swiss is annoying, their strength is still widely recognized by the French.

The pride of the past, but now the abjection, let the French soldiers understand how dangerous the meat grinder is ahead.

Just when the main force of the Duke of Bourbon was barely advancing, the Marquis of Lautek, who had managed to drag most of the horse companies across the ditch, started to cross the wooden bridge before it came, threatening the Habsburgs. At the rear of the army, he was actively invited by the opposing cavalry.

Half of the 500 Spanish cavalry who had been doing nothing in the rear, [-] people, led by the Marquis of Pescara and Ladislaus, rushed towards the French cavalry who had just completed the reorganization and had not had time to accelerate. . .
