"Your Highness, the Modena Army and the Mantua Army are doing whatever they want in the city. Should we stop them?" Count Slam suggested to Ladislaus while looking at the chaotic and wailing city. There were already fires spreading in several places.

.

"If it is not stopped, our troops must be allowed to loot, otherwise it will greatly damage morale and accumulate dissatisfaction." Sazastan's many years of experience told him that it is wrong to allow friendly troops to rob and enjoy women while trying to restrain their own troops.

possible.

If a system that goes against human nature is implemented, a huge price must be paid, and resentment will accumulate and may even trigger a mutiny.

"The real elite cannot be indulgent at any time. I will never allow my army to carry out criminal activities without organization." Ladislaus was unambiguous on this point. Even if the troops organized by indulgence can be used

The ferocious spirit that defeats some miscellaneous soldiers can only cause them to be rampant for a while, especially robbery and rape without the control of officers, which will greatly damage the cohesion of the army.

"But now we don't have the energy to suppress the Modena army and the Mantua army. Let's send envoys first and let the Duke of Modena and the Marquis of Mantua do their best to restrain their subordinates." Although the strength of Mantua and Modena can only be regarded as the best in Austria.

However, directly arresting or even executing the merry soldiers would also arouse the dissatisfaction of the Duke and Marquis. Their strength is still an important supplement to Ladislaus.

This is the trouble with fighting with friendly forces.

"Send troops to replace Sirica's men and let him and Lord Oded Kessler ensure the order of our troops." Sirica's troops and a dozen Barbarossa fanatics under Oded Kessler

, currently the Austrian law enforcement team.

Although long-term suppression is impossible, in a short period of time through the military law team and Ladislaus's own prestige, it is still possible for the Audi army to watch the friendly forces looting while they continue to fight.

"Raise my banner and attack immediately, without giving the enemy a chance to reorganize." Although his men were extremely exhausted after running for half the night and fighting in the city for half the night, Ladislaus was still determined to launch a pursuit immediately.

Only by attacking vigorously can it be possible to capture this fortress in one fell swoop.

However, in Ladislaus' view, this possibility was not very high. The most elite Florentine troops had never launched a powerful counterattack from within the city, which showed that they had been shrinking within the inner castle.

Moreover, it took such a long time from the warning to seize the door to the street fighting in the city. In any case, the person in charge should organize the defense in an orderly manner.

Ladislaus himself led a thousand Austrian troops to attack the inner castle. Old John led his regiment to the south to set up a cordon out of the city. The other Florentine troops nearby were not a concern, but with the prestige of the Roman Church and the power of the Medici family,

It is entirely possible for an enemy with financial resources to quickly hire powerful mercenaries to launch a counterattack. There are several mercenary teams near Florence that can be called famous in Italy.

Although once mercenaries enter such a prosperous town, they will inevitably bring terrible disaster to the local economy and city residents. However, this counterattack method is fast and powerful. Ladislaus must dispatch troops to guard against this kind of attack while pursuing the remaining enemies in the city.

Possibly, his cavalry was scattered in all directions as a warning, but it was not enough to fight against this large and powerful mercenary group that had been working for the Medici family for a long time.

This was also General Ferrucci's plan. After he failed at the east gate, he sent an envoy to summon the surrounding mercenaries to jointly surround the city of Florence.

Although he suffered a severe setback, he still has good cards to play.

"Several small groups of mercenaries will definitely come. The Republic of Florence has been protecting their mercenary gangs over the years, not to mention that they all need the favor of the true Pope and intermediary business, and that guy should also come to support, right?

In any case, he is also a member of the Medici family." General Ferrucci adopted an attitude of coaxing or suppressing the mercenaries around Florence, and controlled them through various means.

As long as the inner fortress is defended, the surrounding forces will definitely counterattack, and Austria will launch an expedition. Moreover, there is also the Principality of Modena between the mainland and Florence, and coupled with the lack of troops, it will definitely be difficult to hold on to a large city full of hostile residents.

Although the residents of the city will definitely suffer a catastrophe, it is still better than being occupied by the enemy. I can only hope that the mercenary leaders can try their best to restrain their men.

However, as long as he enters the inner fort and reorganizes the other troops who came over, he should be able to organize a relatively strong force. If those mercenaries really dare to mess around, they are not without the ability to impose sanctions. After all, the city of Florence is the real Medici.

If they really dare to offend the Pope's headquarters, they will all be drowned in a newly dug puddle in the Campo de' Fiori in Rome.

This is also the fate of that damn Ladislaus. Although he should not be executed, when he is caught, he must be made to deeply reflect on his sin of colluding with the evil god of fire and offending God in the water prison.

Thinking of this, as a devout Sirik believer, General Ferrucci drew a cross on his chest, "Your Majesty God, please bless me."

However, his fantasy was suddenly dispelled by a magic missile that suddenly flew in. General Ferrucci, who came back to his senses, was stunned by the sight in front of him, and the dozen or so guards following him could no longer hold on.

Can't go down anymore.

The flags of Austria and Ladislaus are flying on the fortress that the Medici family has run for many years. The fortress that General Ferrucci used as the last hope and cornerstone of his counterattack has actually fallen?!

Half an hour ago, Sazastan led less than 200 Austrian troops to occupy this place easily. In fact, he only encountered negligible resistance. Several palace maids who were abandoned and didn't know where to go scratched a few.

Soldier.

After the young His Highness Ippolito Medici woke up and learned about the latest situation, he immediately led his elite troops to turn toward the west gate.

Although a few of the remaining generals were willing to resist, all the Lions and the most powerful troops were gone. Without morale, they were powerless. Sazhastan easily controlled the inner fortress.

In the past period of time, all the troops who wanted to move closer to the inner fort fell into fear and despair after seeing the situation clearly, and almost collapsed when they arrived here.

General Ferrucci's personal guards were surprised but did not collapse immediately, so Sazastan cast a magic spell on the general leading the team.

Sazastan could not recognize that the leader of this wave was General Ferrucci, so he only released a magic missile. Although the magic missile he released was very powerful, he knew that it would definitely not be able to kill a powerful warrior.

.

It was just that the opponent's motionless behavior after being hit by a missile made Sazastan very wary.
