"The troops of the Vitelli family will defend the northwest corner, and the Orsini family will follow me to defend the southeast corner." The messenger who finally came back was stunned by the order of Cardinal Orsini. This and ten minutes

The previous command is completely opposite.

Didn't you just say that the Orsini family's troops were elite and were to be raised as a reserve force?

What's going on?

In any case, the scolding messenger set off with the order. After all, he was a veteran of the Orsini family. He could own several acres of farmland outside Rome and save decent dowries for his three daughters.

It's because of the favor of the Orsini family.

At this time, he must use his legs to fully support his family leader.

As for how Vitelli would react after receiving the order, the messenger didn't know. Just now, he was asked to circle out from the west, then circle northwest and attack the Austrians eastward.

The Cardinal Archbishop of Orsini was not weak, but he was too drunk.

It's no wonder that the Orsini family made so much money at once.

There are so many things that can be done with these resources, and he is happy.

Of course, he couldn't be happy now. It's not that he didn't know that the situation was urgent, but he was originally a young master and had never commanded a battle involving more than a thousand people. Now he really didn't know what to do in this situation.

We have agreed to peace talks, how can we launch a surprise attack?

The military knowledge and skills he had learned from private tutors in his boyhood had long been worn away by wine and beauties. Facing the enemy's attack, he issued several meaningless or contradictory orders in succession.

It’s really a raging army. A raging group of generals, not to mention that the Roman soldiers were originally a large collection of cowards and weaklings.

However, such a unit was not defeated immediately after being raided for more than ten minutes.

The attacker's formation never expanded. It was still marching in the shape of a long snake. The protection of the flanks and the connection of the company were all in a mess. In the eyes of some experienced Roman noble officers, it seemed to be even worse than their own private soldiers.

The suppressed Roman army was only a small one.

Although this is normal in night raids under certain circumstances, the Austrian army's night battle records generally show that they can cope with these problems.

Of course no one would be dissatisfied with the enemy's poor performance.

The enemy's crisis is our own opportunity. Maybe there is something wrong with the Austrian organization this time.

This is always an opportunity, especially for capable people. No matter how corrupt and inefficient a system is, there are still some capable people within it.

Perhaps most of the time, these outstanding elements were worried that Mu Xiuyu Lin would not only dare not stand out but would also live in the same world, but on the battlefield such self-protection was impossible and unnecessary.

Within half an hour after the battle began, some prestigious and capable mid-level and low-level officers in the Roman army had organized their troops in some places that were not attacked.

These middle- and low-level officers lead their companies or squads and try to open up the front line to attack the enemy on the opposite side.

The Roman army's camp was very badly built. A few people could push it down with force, and the whole battlefield would have no clear boundaries.

Consul Petrucci and Master Maserani were also in the Roman army, and they were certainly among the elite.

The plan to retake Siena was ruined by Ladislaus's attack, and they could only retreat to Rome with about three hundred elites selected from the "rebels" in Siena and the Cardinal Archbishop of Orsini.

Taking away three hundred people was the limit of their ability. Although they also grabbed a lot of money, and the Petrucci family also had savings, they couldn't just sit back and waste their money. What's more, they were pure outsiders when they arrived in Rome. They would have to raise too many soldiers.

He will be operated on soon.

Most of the rebels were left in Siena at the disposal of the Marquise Facchetti.

Because of this relationship, it was not surprising that the two of them discovered before other Roman officers that it was not the Austrian army attacking them.

"These are the soldiers of the Colonna family." After Masarani defeated an enemy army that acted very stupidly and had no combat effectiveness, he captured an officer who led the team. This guy was a "volunteer" just a few days ago.

, is now being taken into the Siena army.

Not to mention the Austrian army. The number of Siena professional soldiers among the attackers was very insufficient. Many of the temporarily promoted officers in the squad were ordinary soldiers three days ago. They had no authority at all.

In some teams, the original leader continues to be the captain.

Of course, this so-called army could not deal with the Roman army. In any case, the Roman army was still an army, albeit at a lower level.

If these Siena troops had not been helped by the Austrians to maintain order, they would have been separated by walking at night. Of course, in fact, the size of the team now is only two-thirds of what it was when it set out, and the remaining one-third was already at night.

disappeared in.

Regarding their mission, Ladislaus only asked them to rush into the Roman camp and did not hold any other hope.

"Well, the officers' shouts are all in Italian. They are a complete mob that was gathered together temporarily." Petrucci had already been confused. In the dark, the opponent did not have the legendary strict orders of the Austrian army. Officers at all levels were

Relying on roaring to communicate. "Do you still have more spell slots?"

"Not much left. I have been busy looking for food these past few days and haven't had a good rest." Masarani's magic was also the main reason why they were able to eat the Siena army just now.

There were also many Italian-speaking officers in the Austrian army, so most Roman officers just thought that they were facing a company from Milan or Friuli.

But as the battle progressed, more and more people began to think of the correct answer to the question. It was not the Austrians who were fighting with the Roman army.

Of course, most officers still couldn't determine who the enemy was on the opposite side, but it was obviously a weak army brought over from Italy. Those with judgment began to think, if the weak army is here, then where is the strong army?

Luca Toni doesn't have to think.

To be able to become a dignified "protecting the country" warrior, his character and concentration are of course first-class, but he does not need first-class character and concentration to know where the powerful Austrian army is.

"Keep your formation, don't panic, everyone, keep your formation, the troops led by Master Alexander will be here soon not far to the east."

Tony is desperately encouraging his men, who are facing the most difficult situation.

Count Slam's men kept the Swiss hanging at a distance of about a hundred paces, while firing at them leisurely.

Boss Sirica has been sent further east to scout for reinforcements coming from Rome.

But even if the archers were not protected at this time, Tony still did not dare to use a charge to drive away these nasty enemies, because he knew that Ladislaus and Frunzberg were in the shadow, and the main force of Austria was at this time

It is slowly moving with the Swiss phalanx, always maintaining a deterrent.
