On August 25th, Caesar Borgia was carried by her, and her sister Lucrezia, with a group of loyal servants and a small amount of belongings, after makeup, detoured from the south of Rome to the west coast, using money After buying some fishermen, he boarded the fishing boat and headed to Sicily.
Caesar was afraid that Archbishop Rovere would monitor the merchant ship's wharf, so he dared not find a merchant ship when he ran the road and directly rented a few fishing boats to run.
After he left, the cronies who stayed in Rome to report to the city quickly entered the city from the south and found several cardinals who were close to the Borgia family and told them that Archbishop Rovere was hiding in Rome with seven thousand horses. Information from the north.
Several cardinals were taken aback, and quickly went to call other cardinals to discuss the countermeasures ...
The Cardinals had an overnight meeting, and finally decided to blockade the city gates, and then conducted elections in advance to elect the pope within a day or two as soon as possible. In this way, even if the army of Archbishop Rovere broke through the city of Rome, it would not help.
Moreover, there are 2ooo defenders in the city of Rome. Although there are more opponents, it may not necessarily lose because of the wall. To take a step back, even if Archbishop Rovere ’s seven thousand soldiers could finally capture the city of Rome, it would be many days later. By that time, the new pope had been selected and enthroned. Even if he gave the Archbishop Rovere a few guts, he would not dare to kill the pope. At most, it is to lead soldiers to stay in Rome, and then control the power.
Although it may be said that Archbishop Rovere may be in control, this is different from being a pope. Because of its improper name, even if it becomes the principal behind the scenes, it is subject to various restrictions. In this way, the cardinals of the Cardinals still have a certain right to speak, at most they are at the disadvantage. If Archbishop Rovere became Pope, it would be different. The Pope was right, and he brought the army into the city. Then, other cardinals in the future do n’t want to have the right to speak ...
The next morning, the gates of the city of Rome were closed and no longer open. The cronies of Archbishop Rovere, who was investigating intelligence outside Rome, immediately felt bad. So, they immediately reported back to Archbishop Rovere of the Dolomia village 2 km away ...
"What? The city gate of Rome is not open today?" Archbishop Rovere was taken aback. He immediately realized that the news had leaked ...
So he quickly found Schwartz to discuss countermeasures ...
"Archbishop, let's send troops immediately!"
"But Caesar Pogia has not returned to the city ..." Archbishop Rovere hesitated.
"No time, Archbishop! Since the other party did not open the city gate today, it means they must be prepared. This is still light. What I am most afraid of is that they will pile up all kinds of masonry and wood in the city gate cave ... if The back of the gate was full of things. It was placed in the 1oo in the city before, and it would be useless. Even if they killed the guards of the gate, it would take half a day to remove the accumulated debris. Just react and wipe them out! "Schwartz has participated in many siege battles. In this respect, it is obviously more professional than Archbishop Rovere.
In fact, Schwartz's estimate was pretty good. The defenders in the city did start to think about the accumulation of debris in the gate gate of the north gate.
However, the Italian mercenary procrastinated. When the Roman Cardinals ordered the blockade of the city gates, many Italian mercenaries were still lying on the bed of their mistresses, do n’t think of it until 1 o'clock ...
Therefore, the lazy style of the Italian mercenaries has delayed the movement of debris at the gate gate of the north gate ...
When several officers arrived at the scene, there was also a dispute over where to obtain professional materials such as masonry and logs to block the city gate. In this way, the action was delayed again ...
After Schwartz expressed his concerns, Archbishop Rovere no longer hesitated and directly agreed to send troops immediately. Although he was not able to catch the **** of Caesar Borgia, the city was already guarded, and if it were delayed, it would be finished when the Roman Cardinals elected a new pope. After all, he is already 6o years old, and in this age of poor medical skills, it is a few years to live. If he fails to become Pope this time, there may be no chance.
So, around 8 am, the army gathered and immediately entered the north gate of Rome ...
Two hours later, in addition to the artillery and the corps of 1,000, the 7,000 troops were still behind, and the other 6,000 had arrived outside the north gate of the city of Rome ...
At this time, many soldiers responsible for the Roman city just got up from the woman's belly ...
At the same time, on the inner side of the north gate, several officers loyal to Caesar Borgia were still arguing fiercely about the demolition of private houses.
After all, if you want to block the city gate hole, because you have not prepared it in advance, you must inevitably demolish the nearby houses to get enough masonry and wood.
However, these Italian officers, looking for women everywhere, happened to be near the north gate, and there were many houses where their mistresses lived. In order to protect the interests of mistresses, they naturally argued and delayed the time to block the city gate ...
However, they are not in a hurry. Because, the gate has been closed. Even if the enemy hits the city gate or bombards it, it will not work in a short time. Generally speaking, they have time to find materials to block the city gate ...
However, after Schwartz led 6,000 horses to the outside of the northern gate of the city of Rome, he did not order the wall to be climbed immediately, but let the signal soldiers ignite a double-sounding artillery battle to signal the city ...
"Boom--Boom--"
In the yard of the "food merchant" near the north gate in the city, when the people got up in the morning, the people inside were ready. Because, they also showed the abnormality of the Roman city defenders. Therefore, they let all the soldiers wear the plate armor early, picked up the single sword and the shield, and were ready to hit the city gate hole at any time ...
At more than 1 o'clock, outside the north gate of Rome, I suddenly remembered the sound of "Bang-Boom-", and the 1oo Frisian soldiers in the compound were shocked-they knew that it was their turn ...
So, 1oo, a warrior wearing plate armor and holding a sword and shield, suddenly rushed out of the courtyard and rushed directly to the north gate of the Roman city ...
Several officers defending the Roman city were still arguing there. Suddenly, they saw hundreds of soldiers in plate armour rushing towards the gate ...
Except for a fast-responding officer who ran away immediately, several other officers were directly hacked to death by the knife-shield soldiers who rushed over ...
In the Shing Mun cave, although there are preparations, the 4o Italian mercenaries inside are obviously not the opponents of this 1oo East Frisian elite warrior. So, after a short time, the 4o Italian mercenaries were either cut down or scared to kneel and surrender ...
The guards on the walls of Rome also appeared abnormal, and sent people to attack the 1oo sword shield soldiers. However, the Sword and Shield soldiers have good defense, and they are all wearing plate armor. Those Italian mercenaries who came down from the city walls, although larger in number, were unable to break the defenses of the swords and shields in a short time.
When the people inside cleared the defenders in the city gate, they immediately opened the thick iron gate bolt, and in a "creak" sound, opened the north gate of the city of Rome ...
Then ~ www.novelhall.com ~ Schwartz immediately directed the soldiers to rush in ...
When breaking through the city gate, the army encountered some trouble. After all, hundreds of Italian mercenaries were gathered inside the small gate hole. After paying the cost of dozens of casualties, Schwartz's army successfully rushed into the city and began to divide the defenders surrounding the Roman city ...
The total number of defenders in the city of Rome is 2ooo. In addition, many people have just got up and have not come to the barracks to report.
Soon, Schwartz sent out soldiers to control several other gates, to avoid someone escaping from other gates ...
In addition, a force, led by the close faith of Archbishop Rovere, went to the main house of the Borgia family in the city of Rome. The purpose ... naturally is to **** the massive wealth accumulated by the Borgia family unscrupulously over the years ...
