As Charlon prepared to lead the French in an attack against the coalition with no hope of victory, Alexander happened to be leading to the top of a hill not far from Mount Appio.

Although it is only a cursory glance, even the first time that the French are facing such a large-scale battlefield can see that the situation of the French is not optimistic.

When Alexander first arrived in Rome, he had seen the city from Rocadipas and the confrontation between the two sides outside the city, so he soon found that the Romans had not only lost the possibility of retreating to the city, but even whether they could retreat elsewhere by holding Rocadispas.

This is due to the fact that Constantine immediately discovered several cannons on Mount Appio, not far away!

The Allies apparently thought they were in complete control of the situation, so they simply placed the only few cannons on the top of Mount Appio, although from the slope of Alexandria's hill, it was not possible to directly hit the French troops gathered in front of the temple of Diana on Rocadipas, but from there it was easy to block the way for the French to retreat back down the hill.

The artillery was crudely fastened to a pile of rubble piles, and although it was far away, it could be seen that the artillery was not very large, but even so, it was already a great threat to the French troops on the Rocadipas hill, because when the French were preparing to charge down the hillside, the uncovered slope happened to be completely exposed to the muzzles of the dozen guns that had been lined up.

When he saw the artillery, Konstantin exclaimed irrepressibly, as a knight he had an instinctive aversion to artillery, and this disgust was actually a deep fear.

Constantine had seen the tragic appearance of a brave knight with unstoppable armor being shot and fallen from his horse by a group of lowly musketeers, and he had also seen the inexplicable tragic death of a knight hit by artillery, so when he saw the cannon facing Mount Rocadispas, he immediately exclaimed.

Alexander also noticed the artillery, but in addition to the threat of the artillery to the charging French on the opposite hill, there was also the terrible blow that the French infantry, who looked to be in dire condition.

Although the coalition forces were advancing, their speed was not fast, and the French troops who were intercepted and retreated to the city actually had no other way to retreat except one road, and looking at the slowly approaching coalition forces that were pressed involuntarily towards the French infantry that was gathering densely and densely on the right side of Mount Rocadispas, Alexander couldn't help but look at Mount Appio.

The purpose of the coalition was obvious, they did not want to fight a costly battle with the French in the face of obvious superiority, so they wisely chose to use their advantages to force the French to trade their lives for a way out.

Under this squeeze, how many French people will escape from the slopes of Rocca Lipas, and how many will die in the rain of Allied artillery?

The flag on Rocadispas was moving, and although it was not clear to see, the French were clearly determined to launch a counteroffensive, and Konstantin could not help but exclaim at the sight of this scene.

De la Rovere wanted them to take Charlaon away from the battlefield safely, but now the French were about to break into the trap set up by the coalition forces.

"We rush over, and then raise the flag of the Archbishop of Genoa, and we must rescue the Charlon." Konstantin reluctantly said that he knew that this could lead to worse consequences, after all, although the Rovelle family had a well-known relationship with the French, they had not really sided with the French on the battlefield so far, and if they were to raise the flag now, even if they tried to avoid fighting with the coalition forces, it would be too passive for their family.

But Constantine knows the importance of Charlotte better, because he is not only Charles's cousin, but also the son of Anne of Savoy, and the son of the Duke of Savoy is not in good health, assuming that one day there is really an accident, according to the statement that Charlotte automatically renounced the inheritance of Savoy promised when the French King Louis XI married Charlotte Princess of Savoy, Charlain is likely to become the next Duke of Savoy!

In addition to being the Archbishop of Genoa, Giuliano de la Rovere was also the Metropolitan of Savoy.

Konstantin began to turn back and give orders to the Swiss behind him, he did not expect much help from the Agri in Alexander, especially when he saw that the Agri musketeers were actually mixed with the spearmen, and he simply decided to abandon them altogether.

Alexander watched everything on the battlefield closely, he did not consider himself a military genius, so he was wise not to talk nonsense, the victory in the valley of Bruiny did not make him arrogant enough to think that he could run rampant on the battlefield of this era, especially since this was the first time he had come to the battlefield in the true sense of the word.

However, looking at the Allied artillery positions on Mount Appio, he soon discovered a strange phenomenon, it was obvious that because the French troops stationed on Mount Appio had been completely defeated, most of the Allied troops had already crossed Mount Appio, and even some of them had passed far through the original fortifications of the French army.

Alexander held his breath to try to calm himself down, if the Bohemians were here, it would not be difficult to capture the artillery on Mount Appio, those Bohemians had already occupied Mount Appio even before the coalition forces in front of them understood what was happening, but now there were no Bohemians known for their speed, and once they became entangled with the coalition forces, they were likely to face the danger of being completely submerged in an instant.

But there is no other way, he doesn't think that Constantine's method of betting on the flag of the Rovere family is better, in addition to making the Rovere family completely become the target of the "Anti-French Holy Alliance" in the future, he doesn't know if this can save Sharon from being surrounded, after all, as long as there is an army along the way that refuses to give way to the road, not only will Sharren not be able to save it, but even Konstantin himself, who has been deeply trapped in the coalition army, is in danger of being killed by taking advantage of the situation.

After all, there were also armies of Alexander VI and the Aragonese, and even the army of Giovanni Borgia, who had been recruited by Ferdinand II.

"Let's go and occupy Mount Appio."

Alexander finally spoke, and his words stunned Konstantin, who was already leading his horse and preparing to move forward, and then immediately shook his head.

"No, it's useless, even if you prevent the coalition from using artillery, but Charron is already surrounded or may be dead, we don't want to save all the French, as long as we can bring Charlen out alone."

Looking at Konstantin's resolute appearance, while listening to the increasingly rapid sound of horns on the battlefield, Alexander knew that time was running out, and if he waited until the French began to charge, then no one could stop everything from happening.

"Then I'll take someone to Mount Appio," Alexander simply stopped explaining to Konstantin, he slammed down the spurs hard, and in the neighing of the war horse and Konstantin's unexpected jaw-dropping, he had already turned around and shouted to Carlo behind him, "Caro, you bring someone to follow, remember that no matter what happens, you must follow me!" As he spoke, he urged his horse forward and waved vigorously to the only dozen bohemians and hunters around him, "Follow me, if you don't want to be killed by artillery on the road, run!" ”

"What are you going to do!" Konstantin was completely stunned by Alexander's unexpected move, he wanted to catch up to stop Alexander, but the Bohemians and chasseurs who rushed past him blocked him, and when he rushed into the line to catch up with him a few steps, looking at the back of Alexander, who had already run down the hill in front of him, he could only unwillingly pull the reins and shout at his back, "This man is crazy!" ”

Alexander, who had already rushed down the hill, felt the cold wind in his face and the air mixed with the smell of gunsmoke and blood, and he faintly heard the cry of Konstantin behind him, but he didn't bother to look back and let alone explain.

Alexander didn't care about Charlon's life or death, although this man might become the illustrious Duke of Savoy, but he didn't care about it, his only concern was not to want to lose his life on the battlefield senselessly, like Constantine's risky actions for personal or family honor, which seemed irrational to him, even a little stupid.

Alexander didn't think that the coalition forces were all victims of pedantic chivalry, especially when he thought that their commander was the Gonzalo, and he couldn't help but think of the stubborn chivalry who broke their heads in front of this man.

Gonzalo de Córdoba was a true Castilian nobleman and knight, but paradoxically, it was from such an orthodox aristocratic family that he became the one who added a crucial straw to the end of the romantic age of chivalry.

Alexander's body was jolted as his mount raced across the land, his throat felt like a fire, and his heart pounded with nervousness.

Before, because of the distance, it was not clear what other firearms were on Mount Appio except for those large guns, and once the artillerymen on the mountain found that a team of unknown origin was approaching, maybe they could not move the direction of the large guns in time, but they had enough time to use small firearms, and as long as one shell fell on his ranks, except for the Bohians, he did not know if the Agri could withstand the terrible killing and fear.

It was different from the artillery attack on the way to Saniro, when the darkness made the artillery less threatening, and it didn't make a big enough shock because it didn't look so bloody, and now they were on the battlefield, facing the most powerful and terrifying weapon of the era.

Several bohemians had already crossed Alexander, whistling from their mouths, and whips tied to their arms were whipping at the horse's thighs, causing the mounts to burst with incredible speed.

Rushing down the hillside to running wildly on the hill was only a short time, but it was enough to attract the attention of the allied artillery on Mount Appio.

As he ran, Alexander had already faintly seen the Coalition soldiers on the hillside looking in their direction, and his heart sank.

The shouts of the bohemians in front caught Alexander's attention, and then he saw the baggage caraver, which had also spotted them, and was at a bewildered halt on the road.

"Rush forward!" A thought suddenly flashed through Alexander's mind, and he shouted an order to Paul Busako, who was following him, "Let the Agri surround that baggage caravan, hurry!" Use those baggage teams as shields! ”

Paolo Busako immediately waved his hand back vigorously, but he himself remained close behind Alexander.

Just a moment, just a moment!

Alexander had seen that the coalition artillery on the hill was rapidly pushing something in their direction, and he knew that would not bode well.

The baggage team had apparently sensed the unwillingness of the army that had suddenly appeared, and they immediately shouted and went into action.

"Rush up the cavalry!"

Alexander roared with all his might, raising his sword and striking a light at his side!

The flash of the Bohemian saber at the front and the flame of the chasseur's short lance burst out in front of the eyes of the outermost baggage soldiers almost simultaneously, and while the gunfire was still echoing in the air, the Bohemian, who had already rushed through the guard, began to wave his arms and set off a rain of blood among the baggage team with pieces of knife light.

At the same time, a loud bang rumbled from Mount Apingo!

Alexander looked up suddenly, he saw a cloud of smoke and a shadow rising from the mountain, and before he could react, a scorching wave of air was already roaring overhead!

Then the ground seemed to be lifted by a huge hand, and Alexander was swept off his horse by this tremendous force.

The mount's hind legs bent to support his unsteady body, then hovered in place, and when Paolo Busako rushed forward with a scream, Alexander was already dizzy and struggling to his feet.

His head and face were covered in mud, and he even had the foul smell of gunpowder on his body.

On the ground just a few paces away from him, a stone bullet that blasted the ground into a piece of mud and half-buried was still emitting pungent smoke.

"How are you, my lord! Tell me if you're hurt?! Paolo Busako's voice trembled, and he didn't even dare to look at the embarrassed Alexander.

"It's a good thing that the flowering bomb hasn't been invented yet!"

Alexander turned over and jumped on his horse without thinking about it, the huge crisis of the Grim Reaper and the impact of the pungent smell of gunpowder plunged his brain into an unprecedented stimulus at this moment, he even completely forgot about the fear of such a thing, Alexander yelled at the Agri who were running wildly behind: "The Agri rush forward and wrench the enemy as much as possible!" ”

Then, before Carlo could stop him, he had already urged his horse again and shouted towards the mountain: "Charge the hunters, charge!" ”
