King of Mercenaries Chapter 47

Published at 14th of June 2023 05:30:17 AM

"How can this be? The enemy doesn't want to stop us?" Charles VIII was a little puzzled.

也许 "Maybe, there are not many other people. Or, they dare not fight against the powerful French knight?"

可能 "Maybe ..." Charles VIII paused thinking and began to observe on both sides ...

I observed for a while, and he also found that there were not many enemies ...

"Matthews, it looks like there are only two or three thousand enemies ..." Charles VIII speculated. In fact, he still overestimated Marin's numbers. After all, according to common sense, there are no two or three thousand people who dare not provoke 8,000 French knights.

"Well, my daring, sir, shall we wipe out these little boys?" Said Count Matthews excitedly.

"Stupid, where do we have enough time? You don't want to think about it, as soon as we hit here, can they not inform the Italians? If the Italian reinforcements come, we can't run away! And, God knows that more than 10,000 German Where is the man! "Charles VIII didn't want to fight hard. If the gang of Italians came over, it would be difficult to escape. What made him even more shocked was, where is the main force of the Germans?

那 "Well, Your Majesty, what shall we do next?"

"Matthews, you take 2000 knights, dismount, and open up a safe passage ahead! Remember, at any cost!" Charles VIII gritted his teeth.

He doesn't want to be captured. If he is besieged by the enemy, he can't escape the captured doom. Just imagine, if he was captured, where would his face go? In the future, who else will take his words seriously? Besides, it is certain to be humiliated after being captured. Maybe he will be forced to be imprisoned like King Richard I for a year or two, and then he will have to pay a huge ransom (Richard I paid a ransom of 150,000 marks to Emperor Shen Luo of the Sixth Roman Emperor). Allegiance to an Emperor (Richard I was forced to swear allegiance to Henry VI) ...

All this was unbearable by Charles VIII, so he decided that he had to run away anyway this time. Even abandoning the army would not hesitate. After all, the army can no longer be recruited. If he is gone, the fun will be great.

Matthews also felt the determination of Charles VIII, so he took the 2000 French strong man, holding a two-handed sword, against the stones from time to time, and began to cut off those stumbling horses. At the same time, he used his two-handed sword as a shovel and started digging to fill the pit ...

But, how can a two-handed sword compare with an engineering spade? That efficiency is far from the old nose ... so, Matthews' efficiency is very slow ...

After an hour, Charles VIII was a little impatient, and he invited Count Tour:

"Matthews, how's it going?"

"Your Majesty, the speed is a bit slow, the two-handed sword fills the pit too slowly ..."

那就 "Then don't think about getting the whole road right, focus on a narrow passage first."

Charles VIII didn't want to wait any longer. In his opinion, the enemy forces on the hillside must have notified the Italian camp. If he had waited for an hour or two, the Italian might have come over. He couldn't wait.

When Matthews received the order, he changed the way and began to dig only a passage that could only pass through a horse. In this way, the speed is indeed much faster ...

Marlin looked at it, but this is not the case. So he started to rummag:

"Reinforcement is coming, reinforcements are coming, we have to catch Charles VIII alive and cut him to pieces!" This sentence is also said in French. Many of his men have worked in France and will be French translators at any time.

After Marin shouted, the stickman followed. Charles VIII was shocked-Nima, this mob, is going to hack the king? Don't you know that Europe is not allowed to kill nobles? However, if you accidentally kill yourself on the battlefield, it is not illegal. The rule in Europe is-it is not allowed to kill surrendered nobles, but it is not allowed to kill nobles in battle. Can surrender, Charles VIII will not choose. Because, that's insulting ...

的 2,000 French knights brought by Matthews, played to fill the pit and pull out the stakes. Even though 300 people were killed, they still refused to stop. Marin had already seen that the French had run away with anger.

Alas, he waved his hand and brought Kahn:

"Kahn, you take someone to move more big stones!" Marin decided to use the big stones to block the narrow passage dug out by the French ...

Speaking, because the French are wearing thick plate armor, and the bow and arrow strike effect is average, but they shot and killed many armoured horses without armor. Seeing this, Marin simply let the archers slow down the firing frequency.

通过 He observed through the telescope and speculated that the French were stoned to death, but there are only five or six hundred people at present. Coupled with the previous climbing and being smashed down and injured, the French reduced their staff to only seven or eight hundred. Like a small stone hitting a French knight, it hurts a bit or hurts a bit.

Seeing this, Marin simply stopped the archers and let them move the medium-sized stones. Medium stones can kill people and move them. Unlike a big rock, it can only be pushed down and rolled down, and it cannot be thrown down. The hit person is purely luck. Those that can smash and kill enemies are at least the same size as slabs.

Marin's general defense against the tortoise shell of the French knight was also tangled. He finally knew why the Spanish side used large muskets instead of bows. The bow and arrow hit the infantry without plate armor, the effect is good, used to shoot plate knights, no effect at all. The archer fired so many arrows just now that the number of casualties in the French army was definitely not more than 100, which was far worse than that of stones.

Marin can be sure that if it is on the plains, his team without practical experience will definitely not stop the impact of the French Cavaliers at all costs. Fortunately, he sent someone to ambush on the mountain. The French also had difficulty climbing.

After another period of time, after losing 800 knights, Matthews finally opened a one-horse wide channel in the dense trap array ...

"Your Majesty, the minister finally opened a channel!"

确定 "Are you sure there is no trap ahead?"

"Okay, the officials have searched!"

"OK, rush over!"

"Yes!"

Then, the hordes of French troops gathered and rushed to the very narrow passage ...

However, the passage can only allow one person and one horse to advance, so the passing efficiency is surprisingly low ...

An hour later, 1,500 French knights were passed, including Charles VIII's close friends, including Charles VIII and Count Matthews ...

But at this moment, the team led by Kahn brought a lot of big stones and piled them on the hillside ...

At the same time, Marin released three artillery battles:

"嘭 ——pop——"

"嘭 ——pop——"

"嘭 ——pop——"

"What is that?" Count Matthews looked up curiously.

不好 "No, that's the enemy calling for reinforcements!" Charles VIII's face changed dramatically.

Kohler, a few miles south of Luan, saw the signal and immediately ordered:

"Both point the two torches, one for two, spread out, but keep the lineup. Brother, you arrange for them to stand!" These torches are Kohler's wooden sticks found in the village, Simple torches made of rags soaked in grease on the head will not burn for long, but it does not take long.

After waiting for everyone's torches to ignite, and standing in place, Kohler began to order:

"A few of you who speak Italian, tell this group of Italian farmers to let them yell' grab Charles VIII and destroy the French 'in Italian!”

Then, 1000 Italian farmers, lining up in a sparse formation, shouting words, and slowly walked towards the ambush site ...

His Majesty, "Your Majesty, it's not good. The enemy's reinforcements have come to the south. I'm afraid there are thousands of people!"

糟糕 "Oops, who is it?"

"It seems to be Italians. I heard them shouting' Destroy the French 'across the distance, and ... seize your Majesty ...”

"What ..." Charles VIII's face turned blue.

But the thing that made him even more fierce is still behind. At this time, Carne and other strong men carrying the big stones in place began to push the stones down the direction of the narrow path that the French opened the passage ...

Hundreds of large rocks, whistling and rolling down, blocking the road passed by the French cavalry ...

At this time, there were less than 2,000 French cavalry through UU reading www.uukanshu.com through this channel. Unlucky Earl Flare, broken leg, was just stuck in the valley ...

"What to do?" Matthews was a little panicked.

The French thought that the main force of the Italians had arrived, and if they were surrounded, they could not escape at all.

八 Charles VIII gritted his teeth and struggled for a while, then he sent someone to climb over the stone and told Count Fryer with his left leg broken:

"I'm leaving now, you will take the palace and block the Italians. If you can't resist it ... you can surrender ... 朕 will spend money to redeem you ..."

Count Earl Fryer froze. He knew that he had been abandoned by His Majesty the King ... Although Charles VIII promised to redeem him, a captured nobleman would later become a joke of the aristocracy ...

Looking at Charles VIII and about 2,000 French knights, Earl Fryer's confidence collapsed. Coupled with the severe pain from his left leg, he has lost his confidence in resistance ... and Charles VIII also allowed him to surrender ...

他 Under his chaotic command, the Cavaliers who stayed in the valley in the French messed up even more ...

Charles VIII, who fled and ran away, ordered his men to take off their plate armor and take off the armor of the war horse just to make it easier to run ...

Follow the instructions of the guide, go further north to enter the plain area. At that time, he can stop walking the road and not worry about being ambushed again. On the plains, infantry can be difficult to ambush cavalry. In particular, the French took off their plate armor and horse armor, and it was considered light to enter the battle. It was not a problem to escape a hundred or two hundred breaths at a time ...
