The evacuation team just now can reduce the hit rate of bows and arrows.

When the cavalry appears, the dispersed formation is not very advantageous. Of course, even if they maintain a dense formation, these civilians will have no ability to withstand the impact of the cavalry.

The moment the suspension bridge was lowered, the team of civilians fell into chaos. The civilians in the front immediately stopped and stepped back when they saw the cavalry leaving the city. Although the civilians in the front row kept shouting to inform the people behind them of the situation, the civilians in the back were afraid of Ladi.

Slaus's military law is still moving forward.

Although the suspension bridge could only accommodate two cavalrymen running in parallel, they still reorganized their formation after leaving the city and formed a cone shape before starting to accelerate the assault.

Although the rhythm of those "insurance team members" leaving the city and the speed of forming a charging formation were evaluated by Machiavelli as "a typical third-rate unit", the civilians who were still a hundred and eighty thousand miles away from entering the army were still huddled together in place.

The regiment did not retreat far enough in this time.

The Italian mercenary cavalry who first left the city plunged into the chaotic crowd of civilians like sharp knives. Although their weapons were long-handled scimitars among cavalry weapons that did not require much training, under the acceleration provided by the horse's sprint, they could only use rags.

It is still too deadly a weapon for a civilian husband to cover his body.

The cavalrymen, whose arrowheads were twenty men wide, cut through the mass of civilians without any hindrance, leaving a mess on the ground. Almost everyone in the first few rows of cavalry hit a civilian, plus they themselves

Compared with the casualties caused by the stampede, when this group of cavalry turned around about 300 meters in front of the Roman army, more than 120 civilians fell in the center of the battlefield. Most of them were not killed immediately, but no one would go to the injured for the time being.

Leave them alone.

Although there were hundreds of crossbowmen in the Roman army, they fired crossbow arrows at the cavalry group. This shooting was not ordered by Ladislaus, but the overly nervous reaction of the inexperienced Roman crossbow captain. At the limit of the crossbow

In terms of distance, it was obvious that there would be no results, as no insurance team members were hit by the soft crossbow arrows.

Ladislaus's reaction to his subordinates was also expected. The Roman Church Army had not fought for decades, and the middle-level officers were all well-connected. After all, the reaction of these rookies had not exceeded the lower limit, at least they could still shoot.

When it comes to volleying, it shows that there is still some daily training.

Following Machiavelli's suggestion, Ladislaus arranged his 1,500 infantrymen in three rows. Seeing him lower his raised arm, the first row of 500 infantrymen began to press forward.

Ladislaus himself and Sirica, who were in the second column, immediately began to move forward, while Machiavelli and John Sr. commanded the third column as a reserve.

Because of the threat of trebuchets on the turret, Ladislaus did not choose a dense phalanx that was more suitable for dealing with cavalry.

There is no doubt that it is impossible for the infantry to prevent the cavalry from returning.

But the "Half Sword" mercenary group can do it. Kessell-Vitting controlled the time very well. When the Siena mercenary cavalry just left the city, his troops began to break away from the cover of the woods and accelerated evenly all the way until the civilians were massacred.

After one round, "Half Sword in Hand" happened to appear on the flank of Siena's mercenary cavalry.

Consul Petrucci, who was on the corner tower, saw them when he left the cover of the woods with a "hand half sword", but he could no longer stop the "insurance team" from attacking, and he retreated without fighting simply because the enemy also had cavalry.

It's also bad for morale.

Therefore, he ordered the two hundred Siena garrison cavalry behind him to intercept the "hand-and-half-sword" cavalry.

Consul Petrucci's plan was quite good. The insurance members of the Fei family attacked, and the local cavalry directly under him provided support, thus avoiding major risks and having sufficient response capabilities.

There are several other favorable factors that are also beneficial to the Siena army. Although the "hand-and-half-sword" mercenaries are usually infantry fighting on horseback, their horses are much inferior to the Siena guard cavalry.

In terms of weapons, the half-hand sword is a common weapon for cavalry warfare, and is much inferior to the spears equipped by the guard cavalry.

Everyone from the rank of captain of the guard cavalry to above has a piece of fine steel armor with a cold light. As for the "half-hand sword", except for Kessell and Witting, who has full-body steel armor, everyone else only has leather armor.

Moreover, the Siena garrison cavalry in the swept formation had already formed a conical formation suitable for impact. They had a great advantage over the enemy who reluctantly adjusted their formation during the march after leaving the woods. Although they were "half swords in hand"

There are three hundred people, but due to the unfavorable formation, the numerical advantage cannot be used at all when picking up the station. It is basically a one-on-one hedging.

Comparing all these factors, it seems that the situation of "hand with half sword" is quite bad.

Although after analysis, these unfavorable factors were not decisive, Ladislaus was still quite nervous for a time. However, as the two teams of cavalry continued to approach, Ladislaus's expression became more and more relaxed. He could see that the outcome was determined by the outcome.

The balance is tilting in your favor.

The two sides are not completely hedging head-on.

During the hedging process, Siena's guard cavalry gradually tilted an arc toward the city. They instinctively sought the comfort of the city wall.

The commander of the guard cavalry was in the middle of the formation and did not feel this slight change at all.

However, both Ladislaus and Consul Petrucci, who was at a higher position and had a better view, discovered this phenomenon.

Consul Petrucci could only shout eagerly from the turret, trying to get his men to return to their formation. This was of course in vain.

The two roaring torrents finally merged together. With just one intersection, more than a dozen riders fell to the ground. Almost all of them were Siena cavalry in white cloaks. There were only two members of the "Hand Half Sword" in red cloaks.

Although the "Half Sword" was basically a mounted infantry when engaging in guerrilla warfare with the acting Grand Duke in the Württemberg region and never engaged in head-on confrontation, it was still more than enough as a pure cavalry to deal with flesh-footed opponents in Italy.

When Kessell-Vietin was slightly flanking the opponent, he, who had experienced many battles, immediately discovered this phenomenon and understood that the opponent was looking at a bright waste snack. He commanded his men to maintain a sharp momentum.

Sure enough, after being slightly frustrated, the Siena garrison cavalry immediately turned towards the city in an attempt to escape.

Kessot-Vitting, who had expected this situation, was on this wing. He shouted "kill" and plunged straight into the Siena cavalry group. The other "hands and half swords" mercenaries also gave up their speed without hesitation.

Tightly entangled the Siena garrison cavalry.

There is no doubt that it is a very dangerous behavior for the cavalry to give up speed.

But Kessell-Vitting made the right choice. This kind of fight was really a nightmare for the Siena Guards Cavalry, a gathering of rich second-generation people with a surplus of people.

Only a few guard cavalry were parrying the enemy's swords, and most of them just ran away with all their strength.

The garrison cavalry commander could not restrain his subordinates who were changing directions collectively. Before the two sides broke contact, more than a dozen white cavalrymen were cut off from their horses.

Kessel-Vitting relied on his strong strength to achieve at least three results by himself.

Seeing the heavy casualties of the guard cavalry team composed of noble branches, Consul Petrucci said to Yeyou Fei beside him: "President Fei, quickly let your insurance members attack their cavalry and support the guard cavalry to enter the city.

ah."

In this cold winter, Consul Petrucci was already sweating profusely.
