() "The Austrians are burning their tents?" The Marquis of Pescara was already planning to go to sleep when he got the report. With such heavy snow, he sent his deputy to check the camp and went to bed early.

'Young man is really impatient, how can I really let a Habsburg royal family come to the rear, in case you die, what will happen to me in the future. The Marquis of Pescara shook his head. He was surprised by Ladislaus' reaction. Although he proposed that the Austrian army be cut off, he really hoped that Ladislaus would retreat in anger, but it would be too exaggerated to retreat.

Regarding the identity of Ladislaus, the Marquis of Pescara is still very scrupulous. After all, the other party is a person who has received the grace of the ambitious knight Barbarossa. It is always very dangerous to have a court case with Ladislaus, so he Ladislaus must be allowed to make mistakes.

The crime of retreating without regard to friendly forces is a good one.

He has already made an appointment with the Duke of Modena to let the Spanish fleet dock at the port of Modena, and retreat to Sardinia by sea first before making a fuss.

Now he has a difficult problem, the Austrians have made such a big commotion, should he retreat immediately?

The loss of taking the plunge is too great.

However, the actions of the Austrians exposed the movement of the coalition forces. If they don't retreat now, who knows if they will be chased by the French army when the road is restored.

"Go and invite the Prince of Orange, the Duke of Bourbon, His Royal Highness Fugger, and several senior priests and senior mages accompanying the army." The Marquis of Pescara decided to listen to the opinions of his subordinates. This Fugger is " Township "Blavan Fugger, he is now the commander of the Spanish Arcane Corps.

However, he did not wait for his messenger to return.Here comes the messenger of Ladislaus.

"The Austrian army is advancing towards Pavia?! It's snowing so much, and it's still night. Is he crazy?!" The Marquis of Pescara's rude words didn't make Boss Sirica react, and he left in a hurry after the announcement.

The Marquis of Pescara's head was in a mess for a while, and now he can sit on wax. If Ladislaus retreats, he can file a lawsuit with pen and ink. If Ladislaus takes the initiative and fails, then no matter what the inside story is, his career It must be the end, if anything goes wrong with Ladislaus.Then he must be dead.

"Let the Prince of Orange and them mobilize their troops." Before the Marquis of Pescara could speak, the first batch of envoys he sent had returned.

"The Prince of Orange's Dutch army has set off with the Austrian army."

"The Duke of Bourbon's troops are no longer in camp."

"The Arcane Legion has left the camp with the Netherlands Legion."

The Marquis of Pescara was stunned for a moment, then suddenly jumped up: "Quick, quick, quick, mobilize all the troops immediately, let's go to Pavia."

at the same time.Ladislaus, who set fire to his camp, was struggling to walk on the snow-covered road. The horses were gathered to transport important supplies. Like all officers, Ladislaus now relies on his own legs walk.

Although his legs were tied with woolen leggings coated with blood-activating potion, he didn't feel any more. You had to know that he had only traveled a third of the way, and the next few hours would definitely be a cruel torture.

The torture certainly paid off.

Such behavior by the lord is very helpful to the morale of the troops.Otherwise, it would not be a simple matter for the officers and soldiers to launch an attack in this weather.

Europa's military habit at this time is to only fight in a limited number of months, and the army stays in the wintering camp throughout the winter, not even conducting strategic maneuvers. Now Ladislaus actually wants to launch a battle on a snowy day , which is unheard of.

Ladislaus delivered a speech at the camp.An emergency shutdown was carried out and finally the camp was set on fire.Only by using hard and soft measures can the army be pulled out.

Although having learned from the experience of the night operation in Nuremberg last time, Frundsberg has made a lot of preparations this time, and each company has messengers to repeatedly confirm the position and maintain the formation.

But the snowy weather greatly increased the difficulty of the work. Although Ladislaus took the lead in contributing military horses so that the soldiers could bear less burden, it was still an extremely difficult job.

Fortunately, the Austrians have other ways to boost morale, and that is reinforcements.

"Praise be to your piety, Your Majesty Habsburg, and my men and I have come to wish you a favor."

"Duke Bourbon, please believe that I will never forget your support today."

Ladislaus was quite surprised that the first army to catch up would be the Duke of Bourbon.

Ladislaus contacted several senior officers in advance, but he didn't have much hope for the weakest Duke of Bourbon.

But he soon figured it out. Among all the senior officers, the Duke of Bourbon had the most to do with northern Italy, and he couldn't accept being away from France the most. Once he retreated to Naples, his connection with the nobles who sympathized with him in the Kingdom of France became even stronger. Insignificant.

He has the strongest urgency for the struggle, and only by gaining a firm foothold in France as soon as possible can he maintain his hope of gaining an independent country. The longer the time drags on, the closer he is to an ordinary Spanish general.

However, his troops were less than 2000 people. What really boosted the Austrians' morale was the arrival of the Netherlands Legion and the Arcane Corps.

"Thank you, Prince of Orange, and thank you, Your Highness Fugger, I will never forget your help."

"Where, where, it is our duty to serve the warlock royal family."

Well said, in fact these two came to support Ladislaus is not so voluntary.

The reason for their actions is the same as that of the Marquis of Pescara who arrived at the end. If they sit back and watch Ladislaus fail or even die in battle, their future will also be dark.

In order to avoid a dark future, all the Spanish commanders had no choice but to launch troops to chase the Austrian army in the dark night and launch a surprise attack together with Ladislaus.

The Austrian army needed to open the way, so it was not too fast, and there were road signs left by Boss Silica and the others along the way. The Spaniards hurried after midnight and finally caught up with them all, including the main force of the Spanish army.

"The Marquis of Pescara, my old friend, I knew you would make the right choice. Please rest assured, I will explain to His Majesty the emperor that the attack tonight is your initiative." Ladislaus said, Barely appease the Marquis of Pescara.

Now that the Marquis of Pescara has arrived, Ladislaus has no intention of continuing to torture him. Whether they want to or not, their interests are now highly aligned again.

"Thank you, no matter what, win this battle first." The Marquis of Pescara no longer thinks about anything else, he just simply hopes to win, and only winning can have other things. (To be continued. Welcome to the starting point to vote for recommendation,
