Warlock Royal Family

The escape of Bensodolia and his Ligurian soldiers was the prelude to the general collapse of the French army on the east side of the ditch.

The fighting French saw that the Ligurians, who had not received much loss at all, began to flee in all directions. While cursing, more and more people lost their fighting spirit.

They too began to flee, surrendering.

At this time, the French front on the frontal battlefield had entered the range of javelin throwing.

The main weapon of the French soldiers is not super long guns. Their advancing speed is much higher than that of the Swiss, so they should be able to approach the long wall at a relatively small cost.

But this time, the old Colonna's control over the timing was even more perfect, almost as soon as they entered the shooting process, they gave the order to shoot.

The Duke of Bourbon was very skeptical about whether his troops could pass the long wall that had left the Swiss dead and wounded. The collapse of the East Ranger finally made him lose his determination to give it a go.

After all, there is still a bridge on the north side of the ditch. If the Habsburg cavalry bypasses the rear of the main force of the French army from there, under the front and back attack, a complete defeat will happen.

Although the Duke of Bourbon was bound to suffer the severe punishment that a French royal family would receive, his sense of honor and patriotism still prevented him from throwing these soldiers into a senseless attack in order to save his military. career and court status.

If this force is lost, France will not only lose the Principality of Milan, but the vassal states like Savoy and Saruzzo will definitely be ready to move. By then, the flames of war will burn to the mainland of France.

After withdrawing from the enemy's javelin course, he also sent a force to meet the rout in the east.

Half of the people, including the Marquis of Lautek, fled back to the protection of the main force after losing all their horses.

Seeing the flag of the Duke of Bourbon and the order to retreat finally, all French officers and soldiers breathed a sigh of relief. With the cries of the wounded in Switzerland, no one had the idea of ​​reversing the defeat. up.

The elder Colonna did not order the troops to pursue across the long wall, following the previous instructions of the acting Archduke Ferdinand.

Amidst the cheers of the Habsburg army behind the long wall, the French retreated silently from the field.Retreat to the city of Navarra.

All fourteen of their catapults were hastily abandoned without firing a shot.

At this time, the sun had not moved to the center, and the battle lasted only three hours.It ended in the complete defeat of the Kingdom of France.

"April 1523, 4, which will forever be a glorious day in the history of the Holy Roman Empire, you repelled twice as many enemies as you did, and only paid 22 casualties. Let the enemy leave three A thousand dead bodies, and an equal number of wounded in the army. Glory to you, warriors of the Habsburgs."

The deputy Grand Duke Ferdinand who issued the declaration of victory stood on the high platform, holding the Habsburg eagle flag, and received the sincere respect of the whole army.All were greeted from the bottom of their hearts to this great sovereign and marvelous commander.

From crossing the snow-capped mountains to fighting head-on, his outstanding performance has illuminated history.

One of the quintessences of human civilization in the sixteenth century, Northern Italy has been completely controlled by the Habsburg family.

Ladislaus and his men did not return to the main line to cheer, and he was still busy while everyone enjoyed the victory.

There were hundreds of people in the ditch, waiting to be captured.

Of course, it is more important to arrange the horses than the captives.They are more important possessions.

Fortunately, the old Colonna sent someone to help soon.In the end, about 300 people were fished out of the ditch. They were all so depressed that no one wanted to resist.

They obediently climbed up the ropes handed over by the people on the ditch, and then the soldiers directly sat down in the open space behind, while the nobles announced their names and titles and were taken to another open space.He also sat down dejectedly.

But this calm was broken by Ben Sodolia.

There was quite a commotion when his body emerged from the ditch, and several French nobles rushed up to beat him desperately.

A few soldiers guarding them.He didn't expect that the very docile captives who had just shown him would suddenly explode, and he didn't have time to stop these nobles.Amidst the fighting and howling, Ben Sodolia fell into the ditch again.

When Ladislaus arrived and picked up the little fat man from the ditch again, the cousin could no longer recognize his cousin.

"Cousin Ladislaus, you finally came to save me." Looking at the man with a bruised nose and a swollen face, he could only say that his figure was still the same, but his face was really uncertain.

"Traitor." "Coward." "Trash." "Damn fat." Amidst the angry shouts of the French nobles around him, Ladislaus could confirm that his little cousin was Habsburg today. One of the "heroes" of the army's victory, his escape at the critical moment was the last straw that broke the camel's back.

This unlucky boy didn't run away in the end, he was dragged down by his gorgeous armor, and couldn't climb the ditch at all. In the fish and meat township, his cronies were all very good at squeezing rich businessmen. When they were running for their lives, He can't take care of his benefactor at all.

This is also Ben Suo's own fault, and his selection criteria are completely too pragmatic.

But now is not a good time to discuss this cousin's employment standards. Ladislaus and him still have a lot to settle.

"Benso, is it really you? It's all right, it's all right, my cousin is here, Sirica, you protect my cousin, the son of Liguria Doria Marshal, I think it's worth at least one hundred and eighty thousand Wan's ransom." Although the turning point was a bit big, Ladislaus was actually quite broad-minded.

Hearing Ladislaus' ruthless declaration, Bensodolia was not dissatisfied. Although he did not perform well on the battlefield, this young man has seen a lot more than Ladislaus in recent years. The deceit and betrayal of Ladislaus did not understand the original entrapment, and did not have much expectation.

Ben Sodolia was even a little relieved. Although Ladislaus offered a sky-high price of "one hundred and eighty thousand", in fact, as long as he was willing to negotiate money, there would be no problem.

If he had a smile on his face, he would be worried that the other party would take personal revenge.

"Cousin, you're joking. I'm not the eldest brother. I'm just the second son. I don't think I'm worth so much money. I think my father will pay me at most three thousand talers to redeem me. If it's any more, you'll have to raise me." Ben Suo immediately fell to the ground, "It's only three thousand thalers. Now that you have become the archbishop of Liguria, why don't you care about it? I think it's better to save it for the sake of Auntie and Sister Harna."

My mother and my cousin Harna, the memories of Liguria, my life just less than a year ago, now seems like a world away.

The cousins ​​who grew up together really fought each other for life and death on the battlefield.

"That's true, cousin, uncle is very talented, and it's not certain how much he will pay."

Ladislaus let out an incomprehensible whisper. . .
