Chapter 405 Why fight hard

Tony and his men were eventually able to return to Rome without this dangerous test, and Ladislaus found the cavalry and stopped Kessell-Vitting's plan to launch a second charge.

This dangerous test was also too difficult for the Austrian cavalry.

We've already won, it's not worth taking the risk anymore.

The Swiss Guards group to the west has fallen into a state of complete collapse. Although there are still not many people surrendering, resistance without formation is doomed to be futile.

"Don't pursue, control the road." Ladislaus turned a blind eye to the fact that a few enemies escaped and won 70%. In this battle, Kessell-Vitting and his men fought all over the field. Their credit was not small, and even after a slight setback, they won.

Inflicting harsh punishments is not the way to treat a hero.

What's more, in any case, Kesso-Vitting is an old man who has been with him since the days of the Archbishop of Liguria.

"I have honored your great trust, please." Kessell-Vitting still wanted to do his best to eliminate the Tony Group, which was still not far away.

Ladislaus patted the stressed-out Kessell Witting on the shoulder a few times: "Well done, thank you for your hard work. The most important thing is to eliminate the enemy's main force to the west."

Although Tony and the priest who followed him escaped and ascended to heaven, the main force of the Roman army, including the city defense army and the noble private soldiers, had been wiped out before dawn and was now being guarded by the Siena army.

It is only a matter of time before the Swiss in front of them are completely finished. Even if Tony and the priests can save a little face, the real election of the pope will not be able to prevent Ladislaus from expanding Austria's influence in Central Italy for the time being.

However, the resilience of the Swiss far exceeded Ladislaus's expectations. After losing the core headed by Tony, they resisted for a long time before laying down their weapons and surrendering, which made the Austrian army almost unable to eat lunch on time.

However, Ladislaus controlled the intensity of the attack, so their resistance did not cause any casualties.

After having a simple lunch on the battlefield, the Austrian army cleaned the battlefield and counted the loot.

Boss Silica and his men did not return to the group until night. He and Tony had met before, and Boss Silica conducted a test.

The giant water element summoned by a red archbishop dispelled Boss Sirica's other ideas. It was one level higher than the summoning magic used just before the formation to block the impact.

Apparently meeting the enemy again made the red archbishop who followed Tony too nervous.

However, his contribution was great enough, and Ladislaus personally promised him a baron position at the celebration banquet.

It’s not easy. The orphans in the slums of Seville crawled out of the gutter. With their own skills and perseverance, they finally broke through the invisible but ubiquitous barriers. How many detours were taken and how much blood and sweat they paid,

Finally became a real nobleman of Vienna.

All the officers and nobles, regardless of whether they were jealous or envious, gathered around him to congratulate him. However, what was unexpected was that although Boss Sirica was born fighting in the black world, his drinking capacity was not good.

There is no room for confusion in his life, he must always stay awake.

Even on this good day, he originally only planned to take a few sips.

It was just that Ladislaus also tried his best to drink him with local spirits, so he had no choice but to get drunk.

In order to accept the congratulations of the nearby minor nobles and to count the spoils of war, the Austrian army stayed on the battlefield for another three days before setting off back to the city of Siena.

When Ladislaus entered the city, the envoy from the Roman Church was already waiting for him in the city. The envoy expressed to those who received him that he was willing to accept all Austria's demands and only hoped to end "the most noble and truly elected pope and the most important person" as soon as possible.

Unnecessary hostility among the noble sorcerer royal family."

He did not even threaten to excommunicate Ladislaus. Generally speaking, this shows that the Roman Church State is really sincere in negotiating peace.

This is also the nature of the Roman Church State and all political systems. When you threaten it even slightly, it will roar loudly.

When you really threaten its existence, it begs for mercy.

But before choosing the Pope and the Warlock Royal Family, they also used the adjective "the most noble", which explains why the two sides cannot live in peace.

Ladislaus never saw the messenger who was eager to see him.

No matter how hard this emissary, who is also a cardinal, begged to see him, Cardinal Ladislaus was always too busy to receive him.

By the way, this red archbishop is not the one who escaped with Tony. This should be an arcane lion.

In Rome, there are many cardinals.

But Ladislaus did not leave Siena, which gave the Roman envoys great hope and aroused a lot of speculation among the nobles in Central Italy.

"What are your plans? Whether it's war or peace, there must be a charter so that I can cooperate with you."

Although the Austrian army basically relied on captured Roman army supplies to maintain its logistics.

Because there are a lot of trophies, the price for local purchases is quite high, but for Siena today, this is not only an opportunity to make money, but also a burden.

Thousands of troops and thousands of prisoners were too big for this ruined city.

"You are so eager to drive me away? I thought you would be reluctant to let me go after we haven't seen each other for so long. Besides, you don't know me well yet. Now you are very cooperative."

"Oh, that's annoying."

Marquise Facchetti's contractions matched the frequency of Ladislaus's thrusts quite well. Although the woman didn't mean what she said, she was very happy with the man's answer and added cheerful laughter to her breaths.

The warm and moist cavity and the elastic and tight walls make the man temporarily forget about the troublesome allies in Madrid and the extremely dangerous enemies in Rome, and just enjoy the tingling and tight feeling brought by the friction.

The woman no longer mentions business, but uses her mouth to make other more appropriate sounds.

A few minutes after the master's fierce sprint, the two maids who had been standing aside as silent as statues regained their vitality and began to get busy. For the past half hour, they had been staying aside in breathless silence.

First, they wiped the two hosts, who were covered in sweat, with soft towels, and then each handed them a glass of champagne before the two senior maids left quietly.

It wasn't until they left Ladislaus that they picked up what they had just said: "Now that the Roman Church Army has lost its ability to fight in the field, and Florence, the home of the Medici family, has also fallen into chaos, I think for a long time

I no longer have the ability to covet your city of Siena."

Although the families of these maids are closely integrated with the country, generally speaking, it is impossible for enemies to infiltrate to this level.

But unlike most nobles, Ladislaus was unwilling to fully trust these maids.

"It's really all thanks to you this time." Marquise Facchetti got into her man's arm and felt very reliable. This time Ladislaus responded quickly and resolutely, showing his undoubted

Protection of the Principality of Siena.

The successive victories with only thousands of Austrian troops silenced all those who doubted Austria's ability to fight against the Roman Church State alone.

"This is the promise I made to your father and brother." The words were very considerate, but even the woman who was immersed in conviction knew that her man was not just fighting in an area far away from Austria to satisfy his personal sense of morality.

of.

But of course, Marquise Facchetti was not so blunt as to ruin the great atmosphere. She quietly waited for Ladislaus' next words.

"It's just that under the current circumstances, I don't want to grant peace to the Roman Church State so easily." Ladislaus was not using any psychological warfare, but he really did not want to see the envoy from Rome.

"Why? I think that in order to withdraw the Austrian army from Central Italy, His Majesty the true Pope will definitely be willing to pay you hundreds of thousands or even millions of talers." Marquise Facchetti started from the interests of the Colonna family,

Of course, they hope to confirm their legal independent status as soon as possible. Now that the Florentine Republicans have turned against Rome, the harsh geographical environment of being surrounded by enemy countries no longer exists.

"My troops and I cannot stay in the city of Siena for a long time. The republicans in Florence and the mercenary leader who just occupied Pisa are no match for the real election of the pope without my support. Although the damage is serious, the economy of Rome is

The strength is still there, and a swoop with the help of mercenaries may destroy these emerging forces. I need your Principality of Siena to balance Rome's still dominant national power."

"But the damage caused by the siege of Siena was really not small." Ladislaus's request made the Marchioness Facchetti very embarrassed.

"I will give you most of the weapons seized this time so that you can reorganize the army, and I am not asking you to fight the true electorate pope. As long as you restore a certain amount of force as soon as possible and then formally make peace with Rome, the true electorate pope must

I have allocated a lot of strength to guard against you. Even with my army that may go south at any time, he would not dare to attack you. Of course, if he really does not know how to live or die, I will immediately go south again to teach him a more profound lesson." Cooperate with the recent ones.

The results of the battle, Ladislaus's words speak loud and clear.

"I just listened to you, so you are leaving soon?" In fact, how could the Marquise Facchetti be willing to leave her lover who had finally met so hard?

No matter how much political benefit Ladislaus's actions brought this time, he did not want to completely control the Principality of Siena. Such kindness certainly gained her some sincerity.

"Let's rest for at least another half month. There are many prisoners this time. A few nobles can return after handing over the ransom. I don't plan to let most of the soldiers go. Those without families will be sent to Württemberg to farm. They have families.

Let the true elect pope send their family members to help you regain your strength." The nobles of Siena are in need of serfs now, and their luck in going to Germany will be better. Ladislaus is very generous in his farmland policy, but

It’s hard to leave your homeland, and most people may not be grateful.
