Chapter 571 Unexpectedly Strong Resistance

The scepter of the true pope had been held up for a long time, and even the fuse for the ignition had been changed several times, but the soldiers still did not see the scepter fall.

As the Spaniards pressed on, most Romans became more and more anxious.

Although they couldn't accurately tell the difference between the flying distance this morning and the current shooting distance, they could roughly feel that it was almost the same.

The soldiers and the cardinals are urging in their hearts, why not protect our city with the treasures given by God?

Although they also know when to fire is very important, and a suitable firing distance is the key to exerting the power of this weapon, but they are still instinctively getting more and more nervous.

But the scepter of the true pope remained motionless.

Although it is the true elect Pope who is holding the scepter high, the actual artillery commander is still General Ferrucci. Fully respect the opinions of professionals.

Under the watchful eyes of many subordinates and believers, the Pope Zhenxuan has always maintained a calm and majestic expression, his straight arms and body are like the backbone of the entire city wall.

Although he was actually under more pressure than everyone else, the commander of the North City had just sent an envoy to report to him that there were also enemies in the North. [

However, after the envoy reported in the ear of the Pope Zhenxuan, he just nodded slightly to express his understanding, and softly instructed the envoy not to speak.

There are also enough cannons in the northern city, and the concentrated cannons in the southern city are impossible to move there in time, although the samples provided by Ladislaus' memory make the first batch of cannons have wheels. This needs to wait in another plane. A high-end design that has been attached to artillery for hundreds of years, but still has limited mobility.

I dragged it around the city a few times today, and several cannons and gun wheels have fallen apart.Compared with the mature design, the copied technology has a little flaw.

In this case, the true pope did not tell General Ferrucci about the hostile situation in Beicheng, so as not to interfere with his judgment.

General Ferrucci could therefore judge for himself that he was waiting, waiting for the right moment.

Although he can be regarded as an artillery expert.However, in fact, his experience is also very limited. Coupled with the heavy responsibility of guarding Rome, this is an extremely difficult job. Fortunately, he has a wise leader like the true elect Pope. There is no urging, no doubts, only trust.

General Ferrucci did not lose his honor because he was defeated by Ladislaus in Florence, but was once again entrusted with the important task by the Pope Elect.He had no desire other than to serve the cause of the Medici with all his energy and talents.

Finally, several huge weapons in the Spaniard's formation were brought to the front.

Right now, Ferrucci gave a quick nod to the Chosen Pope.

"The Wrath of God!" Although the city wall was long, all members of the artillery crew heard the sound clearly in Latin, and at the same time saw the Pope Zhenxuan forcefully put down the scepter in his hand.Pointing at the Spanish army.

"boom!"

"boom!"

More than a dozen artillery groups fired artillery almost at the same time, and at the same time, a piece of chaos that could be clearly seen on the city wall immediately appeared in the Spanish formation.

They dismantled from the battleship, and then laboriously transported a dozen giant trebuchets to Rome with small boats. After only one round of attack, three of them were defeated.

"Long live!"[

"Long live God!"

"Long live the chosen Pope!"

"Good job." Amidst the cheers of many believers and soldiers, the Pope Zhenxuan patted General Ferrucci on the shoulder.

The True Pope gave General Ferrucci enough trust, and his trust was richly rewarded.

His leadership ability is indeed the basis for Ferrucci to display his professional ability. The principle of "doing good work is not as good as doing past work" is not mysterious at all.But when should rewards and punishments be distinguished, and when to give the loser a second chance has always been a difficult problem. This time, the pope was really chosen correctly.

After being tested in actual combat, Ferrucci successfully mastered artillery command techniques in a very limited time and formed a combat-capable force.

"This is a gift from God and your trust." Although General Ferrucci responded correctly to the leader's compliment immediately as usual, this time he was obviously absent-minded, but the Pope really chose to know that he was not because of his own achievements Instead of feeling complacent, it is because he knows that his duties are not over.

"The gun crew is reloading and preparing for the second round of shooting." A round of shelling requires at least half an hour of preparation time, although there should be no chance for a second round of shooting.However, General Ferrucci still asked his subordinates to make preparations immediately.

At the same time, General Ferrucci tried to observe the state of the Spanish army under attack by the faint light.

More than [-] assault troops have gathered under the city gate. He wants to find the weak point and expand the achievements he has made.

………………

War is a game worse than a zero-sum game.Now that the Roman walls were in full swing, the situation on Ferdinand's side was naturally not good.

The entire Spanish army was twisting and shrinking as if stung by a poisonous sting.

The shooting of the artillery and the fall of the trebuchet overwhelmed hundreds of soldiers, and the panicked crowd ran around all at once, even if some officers took out their weapons and hacked a few to death while running hysterical Yelling soldiers also help.

Although they have all seen the bombardment of magic, such momentum still greatly exceeds the limit that the soldiers can bear.

They performed worse than the Naples Corps during the day. At least the Naples Corps did not immediately have such a chaos, and they were able to retreat in an orderly manner under the command of the officers.

On the one hand, this is because the night gives humans a natural sense of tension in diurnal animals, and these soldiers are more nervous at night.

On the other hand, it shows that the local corps is indeed a little less outrageous than the Naples corps. Maybe they also have high training requirements, but they kill much fewer people than the Naples corps.

But they do have advantages that the Neapolitan Legion does not have. This force is almost entirely Spanish, and they are more loyal than the Neapolitan Legion.

After receiving a violent blow that exceeded expectations, they were not completely confused, but instinctively shrunk closer to the emperor.

"Don't mess around, everyone. The magic trap laid by the enemy has been activated. This trap is only effective once."

"Stay in formation! Protect the emperor!"

"A dense formation, move closer to the emperor!"

Although there was organizational chaos, some officers and most of the soldiers fell into fear because of the sudden collapse and burning of the catapult.

However, there are still many brave officers who stepped forward to stabilize the soldiers' emotions and command the soldiers to carry out the predetermined military orders in critical moments.

Experienced Spanish officers immediately judged that they had encountered the most dangerous situation in the night attack march. They were ambushed by local defenders who were familiar with the geography.

The enemy judged their possible location to set up the trebuchet, and then planted a magic trap in advance. Now they destroyed their precious trebuchet in one fell swoop, and the enemy's violent assault will soon follow.

At this time, it is necessary to shrink the formation first, protect the emperor and his servants who are the center of the whole army, and then launch a counterattack.

Although the bravest Spanish officers were nervous but not flustered, they knew from their past achievements that perhaps the French might be able to pose a little threat to them, but no matter how many Italians came, it was impossible to eat them.
