In the Doge's Palace of the city of Naples, the five great Spanish nobles were awakened and gathered together to study countermeasures.

"Oh, damn the French, they must have hidden troops in the city, or the gates wouldn't have been opened!" Duke Cabrera complained.

Duke Domingo looked at him impatiently, and reproached:

"Cabrera, now is not the time to complain, how do we respond? If we don't think of a way, we're going to be defeated. Then, all 5 of us will be finished! ”

Duke Cabrera stopped talking for a moment, and then, 5 people, you look at me, I look at you, all of them are a little helpless. Several of them are masters of infighting, but when it comes to talent...... Still don't mention it......

However, now is a critical moment of life and death, and Franciston, the adjutant who is standing next to him, is anxious:

"Five adults, please make a decision as soon as possible! If it's too late, the French will come here! ”

Duke Cabrera said helplessly:

"How can you resist it? His subordinates reported that the French were the bravest French knights charging in front, and the ordinary infantry was not a unified enemy at all! ”

Francis thought for a moment and said:

"Yes, we sent people to push all the carts over and block the streets to hinder the French from advancing!"

Count Scudo retorted:

"It's useless, the trolley chariot can only resist the knight on horseback, the other party dismounts and fights, and if you can't rush over, you can move the cart!"

Francis hurried:

"Even if you can't stop it, you can delay time. Now, we must gather the main forces of the army and put up resistance. Otherwise, the whole army will be wiped out! ”

Duke Domingo nodded at this time:

"Well, you'll take care of that, Francis. All the carts, you retreat to the north side of the street and block the French from advancing. In addition, I give you 1,000 Plate Guards (Spanish knights in backless armor) and 2,000 Warhammer Soldiers (those who specialize in plate armor), so be sure to stop the French as much as possible! ”

Francis looked at the five people sadly, and he knew that he would be lucky and unlucky. After all, he was facing the most ferocious attack of the French. In the face of 20,000 French knights, he didn't think that the 1,000 Spanish open-back plate armor knights and 2,000 warhammer soldiers under his command could withstand it. Therefore, there is a great possibility that he will die in battle.

So, he said in a sad tone:

"Well, for the sake of Spain, someone has to die. Let me, Francis of the Huesca family, shed my blood and die for Spain! But before I go, I would like to ask a few adults to take care of my son Little Francis for the sake of my own death! ”

The five Spanish nobles all nodded, after all, it was indeed unkind to let people go to death. In these years, the nobles also want to be embarrassed. It wasn't until the 18th century that the European aristocracy began to lose face. So, out of guilt, they promised to take care of little Francis in the future. After all, even if they are defeated, they are still great nobles. You can't mix in the army, and you can mix the civilian system. Moreover, the level of these officers is very high, otherwise they will not compete for the opportunity to lead the troops.

Without any scruples, Francis took a deep breath and walked out of the Doge's Palace, to the Chariot Battalion on the edge of the Doge's Palace Square, and began to direct the soldiers to push the chariots down North Street. Subsequently, he gathered 1,000 Spanish bareback knights, and 2,000 warhammer soldiers, and came to the intersection of North Street......

……

Coincidentally, the three thousand French knights who rushed to the front had no strength at this time after a long battle. As a result, the French delayed their attack when they reached a distance of 400 meters from the Doge's Palace. After all, it is indeed unbearable to fight for half a day wearing dozens of pounds of plate armor. If you can fight for a long time with such heavy plate armor, then all countries will be plate infantry.

Subsequently, a new batch of French knights began to step forward to replace the first batch of French knights who could no longer run......

Taking advantage of the rotation of the French, Francis was fortunate enough to command the Spanish army and complete the defense - more than 1,000 wheelbarrows were pushed onto the streets, blocking the streets. Then, Francis was ready with 1,000 Spanish backless knights and 2,000 warhammer soldiers......

At the same time, some alleys that could be detoured were also blocked by Francis. Compared to the wide main street, those alleys are much easier to defend than to attack. After all, the alley is narrow, and there are fewer people who can pass through it at once, which is more conducive to defense.

……

When a new group of French knights were replaced, they were depressed to find that they were greeted not by fighting, but by a mountain of wheelbarrows......

If you want to rush over, you have to move these obstructive wheelbarrows first. But cleaning up the garbage, which is the knight master's doing? So, the knights frustrated and asked the infantry behind them to come forward and clean up the ......

And as time went on, the sky began to brighten. When the French infantry cleared the wheelbarrow to the nearest level, they met with fierce resistance from the oncoming Spanish army under the command of Francis. On the spot, dozens of French infantrymen were killed. The French knights then switched in and engaged in a fierce battle with the Spanish resisters......

Although the French knights are more skilled in martial arts, after all, the streets are narrow, and the French knights are not very good at showing their skills. Coupled with the fact that Francis and his Spanish soldiers were ready to die, the battle became fierce.

Francis took the lead in shouting "For Spain!" "For the king! Then he took the lead in a desperate battle with the French knights. Under his encouragement, a thousand Spanish knights burst out with tremendous energy, and three thousand French knights fought back and forth. But because the protection of the plate armor is too good, the casualties on both sides are not large, but the physical strength is consumed very quickly.

Originally, it was nothing. But, John. When Raffi arrived, he had another group of French knights in the vicinity, replacing the second group of French knights, who had been exhausted, and stood with the exhausted Spaniards......

In the face of such obscene wheel tactics, Francis and his Spanish knights were extremely aggrieved. They loudly accuse their opponents of shamelessness, however, John. Raffi was not from an aristocratic background, and he didn't even understand Latin, so naturally he couldn't understand Francis's accusations. And even if he could understand it, he wouldn't care. He is a businessman, and he doesn't care about any honor at all, only about interests and victory or defeat......

Then, Francis and his 1,000 Spanish knights, as well as the 2,000 warhammer soldiers who assisted him, were either killed or captured due to exhaustion.

In the final moments, Francis still shouted:

"For Spain! For the king! ”

However, when he turned around and turned around, he found that the square in front of the Doge's Palace was empty - the five Spanish nobles on whom he had high hopes did not send troops to reinforce the resistance, but ran away from the south gate with part of the main force......

"Poof-" Francis, who was already covered in wounds, couldn't bear the blow of betrayal after all, spat out a mouthful of old blood, and fell on his back......

Subsequently, the French army, which had no obstacles, rushed into the uninhabited Doge's Palace Square, and rushed to the other three gates outside the north gate in three directions, blocking many Spanish soldiers who had not had time to escape......
