Warlock Royal Family

() The chaotic night was over, and the sun showed the horizon, but Tony's distress did not end with the night.

The Austrians didn't break his phalanx at night with the fury Tony had hoped, but they didn't leave either.

The Austrians, three times the size of the Swiss Guard, still surrounded them tightly, and now they were slightly out of the fight, and the infantry was out of range of the halberds and two-handed swords.

But Earl Slam's subordinates were still harassing them. After a night of fighting, the archers could no longer draw their bows, but Ladislaus equipped them with more than a dozen individual crossbows so that they could continue to fight against the Swiss. bloodletting.

Relying on friendly forces to wind up can save the shooter's precious stamina.

Whether it is a rotating crossbow or an infantry crossbow, they are expensive but not decisive weapons. Attacking and defending cities with trebuchets is more critical, and the battle is always determined by hand-to-hand combat.

So Ladislaus did not equip the Austrian army with such weapons on a large scale, but today, these weapons can make the Swiss unable to decompress. After this long night, even the hearts of real men are about to be crushed.

The Swiss urgently need to drink some water and eat some dry food that is cold and difficult to swallow, like the Austrians on the opposite side.

But they couldn't, couldn't rest, couldn't eat, and could only endure the Austrian crossbow and walked eastward step by step.

Moreover, the battle broke out last night, only a few people carried water bags, and the water was not enough for everyone to drink.

This unfortunate and desperate retreat has lasted for several hours. Although the Austrian infantry is also very tired, it is much stronger than them because of rest and food.

Rely on the advantage formed last night.They still maintain the favorable situation of being surrounded on three sides.

Maybe launch a surprise attack to break through a wing and escape.But Tony couldn't make up his mind to make a desperate attack, and he still had hopes for reinforcements.

Tony saw the layout of Ladislaus on the hills on both sides of the road during the retreat, and he guessed that his reinforcements were just scared away by the suspicious soldiers, rather than defeated.

Although this is more shameful, as the sky gets brighter, many tricks that are effective at night should be useless, and if you continue to persist, you may not have no chance.

And there is a small fort a few miles to the east, although it is a small fort that can only accommodate less than a hundred people.But if the reinforcements retreat there, they should almost stand still.

Of course, Tony didn't know that the defeated troops led by the little Medici had fled much farther, and the little Medici couldn't organize the defense of the small fort and the residential area around the fort.

Of course, for Tony, the worst thing is that he can rely on that castle to fight back. In any case, the whole army will not be wiped out.

He was only worried about being besieged before reaching the fortress, and that should be the opportunity Ladislaus was waiting for.

But seeing the friendly fortress will definitely boost the morale of his subordinates and rekindle their fighting spirit.

Tony decided that it was a mistake for Ladislaus not to be determined to bear certain casualties to attack his phalanx. The Swiss Guard would not be overwhelmed by the crossbow, and he would not be made to lose patience and make mistakes. charge.

But soon he realized that he was wrong.Ladislaus is not waiting for his own morale to drop to automatically disintegrate or initiate a pig attack, but to wait for another army to join.

Kessell-Witting's cavalry detoured to the east of the road, and as the sun rose, the Swiss were surrounded on all sides.

The officers who were approaching saw Ladislaus's arm raised high and swung it down violently. The officers in the distance also focused their attention as the cavalry arrived. They also saw the flag of Ladislaus moving forward continuously. Shake three times.

It's now.The Austrian Army has launched a general attack on the Swiss Guard!

Frundsberg is currently in excellent condition. Although most of the Austrian officers and soldiers can take turns to rest, they are only a little better than the Swiss Guards, and he rested in an emergency tent for more than four hours. And there is thick hot soup to enjoy after waking up.

Ladislaus also enjoyed hot soup, and he had no sleep time.

One of the most valuable weapons and treasures of the Grand Duchy of Austria.He has such a privilege.

Of course, having these privileges that Ladislaus did not enjoy would have to pay a huge price, and now he must show his value.

The Swiss have suffered several setbacks recently though.But in fact, he is still one of the strongest fighters of this era, not to mention that they regard it as an extraordinary honor to join the Pope's Guard. The Swiss here are the best boys in the mountain village with the strongest folk customs.

In the Battle of Bikkana, the Swiss mercenaries mistakenly launched an attack on the preset position of the Habsburg coalition forces, while the Battle of Pavia had no room to exert their strength at all.

After observing the Swiss phalanx that had lasted all night, Frundsberg realized for a while that it was still an extremely difficult task to break the Swiss phalanx.

The morale and physical fitness of these Swiss people in front of them have greatly declined, but they are not yet on the verge of collapse.

Now that the cavalry is in place, the formation must be forcibly broken.

Ladislaus gave an order, and Frundsberg was the first to rush into the Swiss formation.

The Swiss Guard is worthy of being the cream of the Swiss mercenary elite, and their attention has not dissipated after such a long time.

The Austrian charge was met with forceful counterattack by Swiss halberds.

Unlike most of the main forces of various countries, all of which are pikemen, the Austrian army still maintains a large proportion of two-handed swords. The soldiers in the first row all charge with two-handed swords.

Many soldiers successfully attacked the Swiss halberds, but the halberds do have certain advantages when dealing with two-handed swords. Compared with long spears, the halberds have a shorter distance, but they are more difficult to be cut off by two-handed swords. This kind of weapon is more expensive In Switzerland, only experienced Swiss soldiers have equipment, but for the Swiss of the Roman Church, everyone uses this weapon.

The distance advantage of more than one meter and the superb skills of the Swiss made the Austrians in the first row pay a heavy price.

The Jinggang cut through the muscles, and the blood sprayed out. The Swiss proved that he was indeed a tough nut to crack.

But these advantages are meaningless in front of Frundsberg and the dozen or so mid-level warriors who have blessed "the tenacity of a group of bears" and "the strength of a group of cattle".

Frenzberg endured more than a dozen halberd punctures with astonishing momentum.

Even if he avoided the vital points and was blessed with treasure armor and magic, Frundsberg suffered a lot of damage, but he didn't seem to feel the pain at all, and the "Sword of Babenberg" carried a great impact Slit open the armor of several Swiss before him, their ribs, and the hearts and lungs behind the ribs.

Blood and screams once again filled the battlefield where countless people had been killed.
