Warlock Royal Family

() When the reinforcements from Rome fell into chaos and collapsed, Tony was leading the Swiss Guard to attack westward.

"For Your Majesty God!"

"For honor!"

"Down with the Habsburgs!"

These Swiss serving in Rome are the most devout Cyric followers, but also the most honorable soldiers.

This kind of excellent quality coupled with the accumulated feelings of old and new hatred with the Habsburg family for hundreds of years made their morale very high.

It's just that Tony didn't intend to release this energy all at once. After all, Orsini's troops in the west were [-]% dead, and even if they hadn't completely collapsed, they didn't have the strength to support him.

The hoofbeats of the Austrian cavalry also put a lot of pressure on him. Just as Ladislaus was unwilling to let his cavalry attack the Swiss phalanx with a tight formation and high morale at night, Tony was also unwilling to let his men go down to attack Austria. cavalry.

The weight and physical strength of horses have great advantages over humans in chaotic battles. Although he is confident in his subordinates, it is too difficult to maintain formation at night.

Once in chaos, his last bit of advantage will no longer exist.

For Tony, since the reinforcements came, there was no need for him to attack immediately.

Just stick the Austrians so that it is difficult for them to retreat. When reinforcements from the east start to enter the field, the broken Roman army can restore contact and flank the Austrians.

Although he didn't have scouts to judge the number of Austrian troops on this battlefield, he must have some understanding of the troops that Austria's national strength can afford.It is definitely not as good as the Roman Catholic Army, which can mobilize a large number of mercenaries and militia nearby.

His judgment was correct, but he did not take into account that Cardinal Orsini and the troops he brought out were already a relatively elite part of the Roman army.The proportion of professional soldiers in the reinforcements behind was extremely low. The militia and mercenaries were not good at field battles, and night battles exceeded the limits of their capabilities.

The lower the quality of troops, the worse their performance in night battles. Elite troops may lose half of their combat effectiveness due to the darkness, while mobs can't even play [-]% of their usefulness. The grass and trees are all soldiers, and the environment is unknown on the battlefield, that is, existence equals nothing.

At the beginning, the Swiss attack went relatively smoothly. Ladislaus was not sure whether Sirica's feint attack and the suspicious soldiers holding many flags and torches on both sides could deter the Roman reinforcements.Therefore, he kept the two wings on the two wings in a defensive posture, and did not immediately attack the Swiss phalanx.

An Austrian wing is still powerless to deal with the Swiss Guard that the Pope has invested heavily in. Whether it is the training of officers and soldiers, the equipment of soldiers, and the supply of food, the Swiss Guard is slightly better.

High salary and high benefits have always been the only way to attract high-quality talents to build a top team.

It is still possible to build a small top elite with the financial resources of the Church of Rome.

If the great nobles in Rome were willing to reorganize the troops and private soldiers under their control under the unified plan of the true elect Pope, maybe the situation today would not be like this.

It's a pity that any political player will never accept this kind of behavior that is too much to hold back and give others a handle.

The truly elected pope has limited resources to invest in these armed forces maintained by the major nobles, and it is a rare discovery of conscience that the nobles spend half of their allocated funds on the army.

Relying on the prestige built up by successive victories and the help of Frundsberg, Ladislaus carefully infiltrated and destroyed the relationship network of the Austrian nobles.

Finally, the Austrian army was built into a better army.Of course, victory is also very important to the morale of the officers and soldiers. The confidence and fighting spirit of a victorious army have obvious advantages compared to troops that rarely fight.

Tonight, the Austrians will gain even more confidence.

After the reinforcements to the east escaped for a few miles, Tony finally realized that something was wrong, why the follow-up manpower hadn't followed up.

What did the Austrians' signals just mean?

Is it not just contact but launching an ambush?

Tony still overestimated his teammates, but this did not hinder him from understanding his current crisis.

The Austrian flanks were completely attached.The attempted attack by sticking to the Austrians became an act of sending death into the encirclement.

Now his Swiss phalanx was surrounded on three sides by the Austrian army.

The phalanx does not mean that it can face the enemy on all sides. In fact, it is only one side that is the strongest. It is also difficult to parry when faced with enemies on three sides.

However, the Swiss Guards showed their strength at this time. They still maintained a high combat effectiveness in the face of flanking attacks. Soldiers in all directions held their halberds high.Fight bravely with the Austrians.

Although the Austrian army was able to rotate and invest more troops, it did not achieve a better exchange ratio.Both sides basically suffered similar casualties.

The Swiss even continued to squeeze the Austrian wing on the avenue for hundreds of meters. Tony hoped that reinforcements would suddenly appear and protect his back, and he did not immediately issue a retreat order that would greatly damage morale.

This push will only push them even deeper into the siege.

It was not until the Austrian army that had just occupied the highest point began to appear behind them, forming a skirmish line to prevent their retreat, that Tony made up his mind to retreat.

"We will attack eastward, and we will sweep the Austrians with reinforcements." In order to minimize the damage to morale, he announced that he would attack eastward.

However, this order still greatly damaged the morale of the Swiss. They didn't understand what happened. Now the enemy's front line has been squeezed out of a big arc, and they can break through with a little more effort Now, what's the deal with attacking eastward now?

And why has there been no sound of fighting on the battlefield in the east?

At this time, shouldn't their companions destroy the scouts that are stagnating them, and rush over to support them?

Tony didn't have such expectations in his heart, he was still fighting in the front row, he formed an elite small group with dozens of the most elite soldiers and a dozen or so priests, he was waiting for Frenzberg or La Dislaus led the elite to break through the formation.

At this time, using sharp heavy blows and then applying pressure from all sides is the most conventional method to break through the powerful phalanx.

There are the most excellent divine magic users in the Church of Rome, and Tony is confident that relying on those powerful priests who can use the sixth and seventh layers of divine magic to support him, he will be able to beat back the recently famous Austrian elite, even if it is V It is also impossible for Rendsberg to destroy his elite squad.

'Let the horse come here, you are not the only one who got the treasure of the ancient times, let alone think that you are the new strongest warrior after killing Bayar. '

Power makes people crazy, and ease can also make people forget other troubles.

Clenching the weapon in his hand, Tony has already driven out his anger towards his allies, and he is ready.

"Others are unreliable, but I still have you, you will never let me down."

As long as he repulsed the subsequent onslaught of the Austrians, or even killed one or two powerful Austrian figures, then he could still bring most of the Swiss Guards back to Rome.

Tony's self-confidence is not without reason, he also has treasures from the treasure house of the Cyric plane. (To be continued. You are welcome to come to the starting point to vote for recommendation and monthly tickets.
