Chapter 1568： See you back

When the Spanish army assembled and approached the French guard, the French had filled 11 pits, leaving only three pits left unfilled.

"How did the French fill the pit so fast? Don't they dig the pit for a long time?" Duke Cabrera and Duke Domingo didn't quite understand. They took the army to intercept the French army from the side and did not see the bags that filled the pit. In their view, if you want to fill the tunnel, it should be moving the shovel to dig the soil to fill the pit, which is very time-consuming. More than a dozen pits can hold the French army in any way, until the Spanish army is assembled. But looking at this situation, if they are slower, the French will run away ...

At this point, the scouts that came back from the previous scout report:

"The two Duke adults, it seems that the French used sacks that ran out of grain, filled with mud in advance, and filled them when they saw the pit, so it was fast!"

"Use sacks filled with grain to fill the pit with soil? This ..." The two short-sighted Dukes of Spain were stunned by the French.

However, there is no time to surprise them now. Because, when the French filled the last pit, the striker of the Spanish army finally caught up with the French troop ...

"Spanish cavalry, charge!" Count Lopez, in charge of the cavalry, ordered out loud.

Then, about 5,000 Spanish cavalry wearing open-back half-plate armour, driving an Andalusian horse without armor, wielding a saber, quickly rushed to the 10,000 French infantry that had been broken.

But at this moment, a bugle suddenly rushed out of the oblique thorns, thousands of French knights, scared enough to 5,000 Spanish cavalry in halter. They are light cavalry, and their heads are kicked by donkeys before they fight hard with heavy cavalry. So, they quickly turned around and retreated back to the side of the Spanish army.

The French knights saw many unicycles with spears inserted in front of the Spanish army. Knowing that they could not get the benefits, they did not attack, but retreated back ...

The five Spanish noblemen were relieved, and Duke Domingo cursed:

"Damn the French, they chose to escape on a rainy day. If it was sunny, our musketeers must teach them how to be humans!"

Speaking of which, the Spanish were unlucky. The climate in Italy is Mediterranean, with hot and dry summers and little rain. But, they encountered this rainy day. Of course, the French also waited a long time to wait for this rainy day. It can only be considered unlucky for the Spanish to encounter rainy and rainy weather in Italy in a rainy summer.

...

Subsequently, both sides became cautious. The French retreated cautiously, and the Spaniards chased cautiously. Then, during this time, the crossbow became the main weapon that killed each other. It is a pity that the Spanish army mainly relied on the arquebus, and the crossbow rarely only had 500 pieces. In contrast, there are about 1,500 crossbows in France. Therefore, under such drizzle weather, the mutual shot by the two sides is the absolute advantage of the French.

But just let the French go, and after returning home, several Spanish aristocrats must be unlucky. Therefore, knowing that there was no chance, the Spanish army also bit the French army and looked for fighters.

However, the two sides struggled for two or three hours, and the French retreated into a narrow valley. Then, the French used a batch of chariots to block the valley, and let the crossbowmen hide behind the vehicles and shot them suddenly, blocking the pace of the Spanish army at once.

Then the French stopped to rest. The Spaniards tried to attack several times, but the main firepower of the Spanish army was the matchlock, which had no effect on this rainy day. Therefore, the Spanish attacked several times and were easily repelled by the French.

...

When the two sides confronted each other in the evening, the Spanish men began to build camps. However, the French sent a thousand plate armoured knights, abandoned the war horses, armed with two-handed swords, and suddenly cut the path into the Spanish battalion under construction. The nobility stomped straight.

This is not over yet. When the Spanish army began to eat dinner, the Frenchman had finished eating baguettes, assembled, and under the leadership of the French knights with 3,000 horses, launched a charge to the Spanish camp , Beat the Spaniard by surprise. They did not prepare dry food in advance, and they had to prepare it for dinner. Under the harassment of the French, the Spanish soldiers could not make a good dinner.

Moreover, after the French knights dismounted, they would not be afraid of the Spaniard's unicycles without the horses. Moreover, they have 7,000 of the most elite Swiss spearmen to assist, and they are stronger than the Spaniards in rainy days.

After several losses, the Spanish army, led by five generals, had no choice but to retreat ...

"Let's retreat into the city of Naples!" Suggested Count Scudo, one of the five chiefs of the Spanish army.

Then he explained:

"Look, the city of Naples is tall and sturdy, much stronger than our original camp. Moreover, the houses in the city are much more comfortable to live than the camp. And, don't worry about being attacked by the French at night."

Several other people listened and found it very reasonable, so they nodded in agreement. Then, after returning to the camp, the Spanish army moved the camps into the empty city of Naples one by one.

As for chasing the French? Woke up early tomorrow morning. Anyway, the valley where the French stayed was just over an hour away from the city of Naples. The reason why they chased them for two or three hours was because neither party dared to go fast. After getting up tomorrow morning, as long as you march quickly, you can still catch up. It would be better if the rain could stop tomorrow and the Spanish musketeers could fight ....

...

After entering the city of Naples, where the city walls were tall and solid, the Spaniards, out of caution, sent people to conduct a large search in the whole city ~ www.novelhall.com ~ in case the French left any ambush. As a result, no ghost shadow was seen in the city, and everyone relaxed.

It's just that they didn't know that there was a place where they were negligent ...

At the same time, the French army camp, Louis XII ordered:

"Everyone, quickly set up the tent and take the time to rest!"

Then, he dispatched another 2,000 knights, took off the plate armor and horse armor, and put on the knight sword:

"Baron Victor, can you promise to clean up the dozens of Spanish Scout cavalry outside the valley and not let go of one?"

The knight named Victor nodded solemnly and said:

"Your Majesty, please be assured that our people have long found a secret road in this valley and can go around behind each other. As long as the enemy's retreat is blocked, the Spanish scouts can be guaranteed to be killed!"

Obviously, the Spaniards also kept dozens of scout cavalry to monitor the movement of the French. However, they were left by several Spanish generals to prevent the French from escaping. Once the French ran away at night, they would divide their hands and go back to report. But I didn't expect that the French didn't even want to run, and they planned to kill them ...

More than an hour later, Baron Victor walked back with two thousand French knights, completely sealing their backs and killing dozens of Spanish Scout cavalry ...

...

A few hours later, at about two o'clock in the morning, the French army camp in the valley began to be noisy:

"Get up, get up!" The commanders of the battalions began to urge the French soldiers to get up.

After an hour, the French army was ready to go, heading towards the city of Naples. However, the French commander emphasized again and again that there must be no big movements ...

Obviously, this is another "back carbine" ...
