Because the status and influence of this family on this continent is basically similar to that of the Medici family in Florence, Italy, Europe from the late Middle Ages to the Renaissance.

Not only does he possess unimaginable wealth, he also has great influence in politics, culture, art and other fields.

The most important thing is that the family pays a large sum of money to the King's Hall every year.

As the family's legitimate daughter and daughter--Farnese du Wattimio, being able to become the leader of the Knights of the Holy Iron Rope at the age of less than twenty years old is the most direct manifestation of this relationship.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Another relatively young nobleman in his twenties and seventies sighed with admiration: "I heard that this legitimate daughter of the Vatimio family is a rare

Such a beautiful woman, it would be great if I could marry her."

"You and your family still want to marry a legitimate daughter from a famous family like Vatimio? Stop dreaming! Her family doesn't look down on us."

The middle-aged nobleman in his forties next to him made a sour self-mockery.

After all, there are huge differences between nobles and nobility.

The most direct manifestation is the title, territory and income.

And the financial resources of the Vatimio family are definitely worthy of being called as rich as any country.

If there were a wealth ranking list on this continent, if it was ranked second, no one would dare to claim to be first.

But the young noble shrugged his shoulders indifferently: "Even if you can't marry this Miss Farnese, it would be good to have a romantic encounter with her. After all, no matter if she is the legitimate daughter of the Vatimio family,

Her identity as the female leader of the Knights of the Holy Iron Rope will make people involuntarily have the desire to conquer, isn't it?"

"I advise you not to make wrong decisions.

According to rumors, Miss Farnese is very devout in her belief in God and never shows disdain towards her suitors.

If you are going to stalk or use some shady means, it is best to consider whether you can withstand the anger from the King's Hall and the Vatimio family.

What's more, don't forget that our most important goal at the moment is to win this battle and restore the nobility's rule over the entire kingdom."

Duke Bram glanced angrily at the young lord who should be considered his nephew according to his blood relationship.

Although he was once young, he understood that it was normal for someone of his age to have endless reveries about a young, beautiful, noble girl like Farnese, with impeccable family background and impeccable family background.

This is just like those common people teenagers who always dream that one day they can win the favor of noble girls or even royal princesses.

But lust is just lust after all, and it can never become reality.

"Don't worry, uncle, I know what's appropriate."

The young nobleman obviously did not take the Duke's warning to heart, and he even stroked his long black flowing hair very coquettishly.

It can be seen from the confident look in his eyes that he is quite confident in his appearance, knowledge and demeanor. He belongs to the type that is quite popular in aristocratic social circles. He has already had sex with countless aristocratic ladies and ladies in private.

Intimacy.

For this kind of consensual matter, Duke Bram obviously has no good solution. He can only pray that the husbands and fiancés of those ladies can be a little more generous, or they don't know about these things at all.

Otherwise, whether it was a duel, poisoning, or paying someone to kill someone, his nephew might die at any time.

Never think that an affair between nobles is a tacit and risk-free affair.

Quite the opposite!

Sometimes the proportion of unlucky people who die from jealousy is even higher than those who die from war.

While the top brass of the noble coalition were discussing the upcoming religious knights of the King's Hall and Miss Farnese, Zuo Si, who was camped a few kilometers away, had already begun to make pre-war arrangements.

As a person who likes to keep the initiative firmly in his own hands, he doesn't like to wait for the other party to attack first.

After all, with a military disadvantage, if you cannot mobilize the opponent to expose its weaknesses, you will inevitably pay a very heavy price.

What's more, what Zuo Si is playing now is that a mortal cannot accomplish such shocking feats as "one horse riding a thousand" or "unparalleled mowing the grass". He has to keep his head count within a relatively "reasonable" range.

Taking Gus as an example, being able to kill a hundred people on the battlefield is already quite a feat.

So the goal he set for himself was between two hundred and three hundred people.

After all, Guts only had one sword, and he had two, so it was "reasonable" to kill twice as many people.

"Sir, we have used the past few days to conduct detailed reconnaissance of the surrounding terrain.

There is a river to the west of the camp, about fifteen meters wide, with very fast currents and without any bridges.

It is estimated that the noble coalition had this river as a barrier, so they only arranged a very small number of infantry on the flanks as a guard.

As for the east side, it has been completely reduced to a swamp due to heavy rains in the past few days.

The enemy has not deployed any defensive forces in this direction."

A scout dressed as a mercenary pointed at the map on the table and marked all the information he had collected with a pen.

"You mean... besides frontal combat, we have almost no other means available?"

Hemet, who was originally the captain of the guard but has now been promoted to general, quickly frowned.

Because in his opinion, this is absolutely terrible news.

The fewer tactical options available mean the higher the requirements for hard power on the frontal battlefield.

Although under the leadership of Zuo Si, this army has won one war after another, coupled with the killing, violence and plunder of nobles, its morale has already skyrocketed.

Moreover, the soldiers' awe of the nobles has completely disappeared, and they no longer feel that there is any mystery or aura blessing on them.

After all, when they used the swords in their hands to chop down the usually aloof nobles one by one, looking at the fear and despair in each other's eyes before death, they pressed the ladies and ladies under them and ravaged them unscrupulously, listening to each other's cries.

and wailing will naturally break the original deep-rooted mental prison.

This is also one of the biggest reasons why Zuo Si allowed his troops to carry out massacres in noble castles and manors.

He needs to break the awe these people have for the entire aristocratic class and understand that the other party is just a group of mortals who wield force. They will bleed and die just like being stabbed and slashed. It is no big deal.

The scout dressed as a mercenary nodded solemnly: "I'm afraid so.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! This should be the most powerful enemy we have encountered so far, and it is also all the power that the nobles of the entire kingdom can muster.

Especially the five thousand knights and their retinue, once they launch an attack, it will be absolutely devastating.

If it cannot be stopped, the entire battlefield will collapse in minutes and trigger a collapse."

"Five thousand cavalry? Damn it! That sounds like a headache."

Hemet held his forehead, obviously unable to think of any solution.

Because although our own team has obtained a considerable number of horses by confiscating the property of nobles, there are too few people who can ride war horses to fight or even launch a charge.

This is also one of the biggest gaps between civilian armies and aristocratic armies.

"How many cavalry do we have?"

Zuo Si suddenly broke the silence and asked.

A young man dressed as a secretary stood up and reported: "Sir, although we have 6,000 horses, the number of cavalry is less than 2,000."

"So our cavalry can have one person and three horses?"

Zuo Si noticed something keenly and raised the corners of his mouth with a playful smile.

"Yes, we can definitely do it with one person and three horses."

The young man answered in the affirmative without thinking.

“Awesome.”

Zuo Si nodded with satisfaction and continued to ask: "If I remember correctly, the knights of the kingdom's nobles are usually not equipped with long-range weapons, right?"

Hemet stood up and replied: "Yes. The noble knights of the kingdom usually adopt the strategy of charging in groups, relying on the defensive power of heavy armor and the speed of war horses to break down the enemy's formation in one go, and then cooperate with the infantry to kill them."

"In that case, let me teach them a lesson.

Immediately order all cavalry to abandon plate armor and horse armor, retaining only light chain mail and leather armor. They also do not need any melee weapons and only carry triangular nails and grenades.

Since the load is reduced, our cavalry should be faster and have better endurance.

Once the cavalry of the noble coalition is dispatched, we will use the cavalry to outflank them.

If they change direction and pursue, scatter a large number of triangular nails on the ground as you retreat.

When the enemy notices this, they will definitely slow down subconsciously.

This speed difference will cause the cavalry in front and rear to gather together in a short time.

At that time, turn around and go back, light the grenade and throw it at the most crowded area.

When the time comes, the fire and explosion will not only cause astonishing damage, but also frighten the war horses, causing chaos and a stampede.

When the cavalry of the noble coalition collapses and loses its fighting power, we will recall the cavalry, dress them up neatly, replace them with new horses, let the artillery fire several rounds of volleys to crush the infantry square, and then let the cavalry launch an attack."

Zuo Si did not hide anything and directly stated the method he had thought of and his plan for the entire battle.

In fact, according to the development history of Europe on Earth, with the rise of gunpowder weapons, the heavy cavalry led by nobles could no longer keep up with the development of the times.

In this regard, just look at the war between the famous knight king of France, Francis I, and the monarch of Spain and the Holy Roman Empire, Charles V, to get a glimpse of it.

The Kingdom of France, which claims to have the largest number of knights and the most powerful knights, has been hit hard by Spanish muskets several times.

In the famous Battle of Pavia, the Spanish Legion annihilated more than 8,000 French troops with less than 1,000 casualties, and even King Francois I became a prisoner.

Since then, the era of heavy armored knights has gradually faded away from the stage of history.
