It was too late to grieve the desperate members of the city, Marin quickly divided the two teams, and took the siege ladder to the south gate and northeast gate of Siena City, planning to steal while the Siena people had not responded. once. As for the Northwest Gate, don't even think about it. At the moment, the gate gate is already full of defenders.

But the news that Tianliang had passed back was not optimistic, and the team attacking the other two gates failed. The army in the city seems ready. Obviously, after the accident at the Northwest Gate, the army in the city immediately sent people to the South Gate and Northeast Gate to warn them.

At dawn, Marin, who stood on the high ground outside the city and looked at the city of Siena, also took a breath of breath-I saw the city wall of Siena, built on a hillside more than ten meters high, counting the height of the city wall itself, It is estimated to be 20-30 meters high. At this height, ordinary siege ladders are not used at all, because the length is not enough.

As for the gate towers of the three gates, that is called a firm. Moreover, many Frang cannons were erected on the city head. If you dare to attack the city gate, you must eat a wave of shells first ... And if you attack the city walls, it will be even more difficult. The 30-meter-high city wall has a certain slope. If you want to climb the city wall diagonally, you need a 40-meter long siege ladder ... Is there any such a long ladder ... 50-meter sprint, it takes more than 7 seconds for the average person to rush ...

Moreover, even if such a super-large ladder is built, how heavy is that? It takes many people to carry the wall. But the Siena defenders on the city head are not dead. If you dare to set up a ladder, they will dare to shoot arrows and throw stones from the city head. Moreover, even if the ladder is set up, it is easy to be pushed down diagonally by the defenders, or simply cut off and sawed off ...

In short, Siena, surrounded by mountains on three sides, is too difficult to attack. It is no wonder that in 1555, the forces of Charles V and the army of Florence siege Siena, and it took 18 months to break the city. It's ... too difficult ...

Marin did not give up, took Kahn and others, rode the horses bought from the nearby villages, and made several laps around the city of Siena. There was no defensive flaw. The thing that caused Marin to collapse the most is that the Siena people are so rich that all three gates are made of cast iron. Even if you bury a gunpowder barrel, you ca n’t explode ...

"What should I do? What should I do?" Marin was anxious. If it is a strong attack, it may not be possible to fight for a year and a half.

"Forget it, continue digging tunnels!" In desperation, Marin could only let the previous digging tunnel team continue to dig tunnels. Moreover, he sent many people to help. Even if the granite is hard enough, I dig a lot of people, and everyone works hard for a while, which is very efficient.

Of course, Marin also sent people to pretend every day to cover the tunnel. It's just that, according to this progress, it won't work in a few months ... Marin thought of withdrawing. , Otherwise, the grain will be cut off ...

With the maple sugar compressed biscuits in the hands of everyone now, and the food stored by Marin in the village of Alani, it will last for up to 20 days. After 20 days, the army will run out of food. If there is no food, it may collapse ...

Fortunately, two days later, just when Marin was in a dilemma, good news came from the south-Sacramento ’s Fourth Army had already captured Grosseto and was leading the army to Siena. Arrived in two days.

"Fortunately, okay!" Marin sighed in relief. The arrival of the Fourth Army meant that he did not have to worry about food issues. Because the transportation road from the direction of Grosseto to Siena must have been opened. And Marin stored a lot of food in the Papal State, and could be transported by sea to the port of Taramo at any time, and then through Grosseto, arrived under the city of Siena.

And on the third day, news came from the south gate-southeast direction Radikofani sent 4,000 reinforcements to Siena City for emergency assistance ...

It should be pointed out that both the Francia Avenue and the mountain road leading to Grosseto meet at the south gate of Siena. Then, Via Francona passes through the city of Siena, exits from the direction of the northwest gate, and continues to the northwest ...

Marlin suddenly came in spirit-I can't break through your walls, and I can't defeat your reinforcements? So, he also brought four thousand soldiers and horses to the south gate and blocked the road ...

At this time, a word came up in Marin's mind-"Waiting for help" ...

This is the classic tactic of our army during the war of liberation, the main purpose is to destroy the enemy's living power. Moreover, destroying the reinforcements under the eyes of the enemy is conducive to combating the morale of the enemy.

Marin brought the 4,000 men and women to the south of the city, all of whom were elite troops wearing rhinoceros armor. Of course, there are thousands of people behind them, watching the enemies in the city eye-to-eye, avoiding them from rushing out and fighting inside and outside the reinforcements.

However, although Franconia Avenue is known as the Avenue, it can accommodate seven or eight people in parallel, which is not conducive to the display of the army. Therefore, the formation of the Marin army can only be very flat.

When the four thousand Siena reinforcements arrived, the other party showed no signs of weakness and rushed up bravely to fight against Marin's army. The main reason is-the other party mistakenly believed that Marin ’s army was sent by the Pope ...

Right now, there is a contradiction with Siena, which is the Papal State. Except for the Austrian army of Maximilian I who wanted to be crowned south in Rome, the Siena people could not really think of anyone, except the army of the Papal State, who would attack Siena. Moreover, even Siena ’s mortal enemy, Florence, is now under the control of the Papal State.

Therefore, the defender of the Sienaradicofani Sarimoai, who was alerted, decided that it was the army of the Papal State. Because, the troops of other countries cannot come so fast.

His judgment is also in line with common sense, because recently, after leaving the army of Maximilian I, the Siena people did not hear that other troops came to Italy. In the army of the Papal State, the Siena people are not afraid. So, Sari Moai sent 4,000 elites and hurried back to Siena City.

In addition, the 4,000 elites brought by Marin this time are all wearing black rhinoceros leather armor, and there is no classic black cross vest with white background from the North Sea Army. Therefore, the other party's army didn't know the depth, just hit it like this ...

But at the beginning of the battle, Siena's reinforcements felt wrong-why is the other party's combat strength so strong?

Because it was a narrow battle, Marin put the beast Kahn directly to the front. I saw that Kahn was wearing a rhinoceros armor, wielding a heavy mace, and rushed towards the enemy first, and started the strong mode. And beside him, there were several generals from the Spike Commando who followed him to cover it ...

The heavy mace with a roaring wind swept to the Siena reinforcements ~ www.novelhall.com ~ and Kahn, with several mace assault fighters, defeated the Siena reinforcements in the front row. .

In desperation, Siena's reinforcement general Karamosi ordered bows and arrows to greet. However, the rhinoceros armor is not afraid of ordinary bows and arrows, and Siena reinforcements did not bring heavy crossbows or muskets in order to rush back. Therefore, Kahn and others do not care ...

It is a pity that the road is too narrow. Although Kahn and others have achieved brilliant results, the whole army cannot attack, and can only nibble each other forward. This battle was fought until the evening when Siena reinforcements were completely repelled ...

Marin did not order a chase, because fighting on a narrow mountain road was too special, and it was difficult to expand the results. So, he simply ordered not to chase.

Of course, Marin has another idea, that is-wait for the people of Saqqara ...

The Fourth Army of Saqqara will arrive tomorrow, and when the Fourth Army arrives, it can cooperate with the Mountain Infantry, encircle the front and rear, and completely eat up the support army. If they were chasing tightly at this time and chasing the opponent too far, the Fourth Army would not be able to block the opponent's path. At that time, the mountain road was narrow, and once the opponent retreated further south, he could not block this unit, nor could he destroy the opponent ...
