The Venetians reacted quickly since they decided to stay in obscurity. Viceroy of Venice Leonardo. Loredon soon sent an envoy to Rome to meet with Julius II and ask for reconciliation.

Marin also explained to Julius II the benefits of reconciliation with Venice at this time, so Julius II accepted Venice's submission with a pleasant face, and the two sides agreed on a timetable for the transfer of Rimini.

In exchange, however, the Republic of Venice hoped that the Papal States would allow Venetian merchant ships to continue their business by calling at Rimini and Ravenna, two important port cities in the Adriatic region.

After all, for such a commercial country as the Republic of Venice, the occupation of Rimini and Ravenna was also mainly based on commercial considerations. If the Holy See had allowed Venetian merchants to continue to do business in the port cities of Rimini and Ravenna, the loss would not have been too great for Venice.

Julius II did not exclude Venetian merchants from doing business in the two port cities, because the entry and exit of merchant ships and the commercial activities of Venetian merchants could also bring taxes. As a result, the two sides quickly reached a peace agreement and set a timetable for the transfer of territory.

However, Marin suddenly remembered one thing - without the famous "League of Cambrai" in history, how could Maximilian I be crowned emperor? And the super generous conditions on which the future emperor could not be coronated in Rome could not be obtained by Maximilian I......

However, whatever he does, it's not that he's unlucky......

Moreover, Marin knew very well that his father-in-law, Julius II, would never smash this good card in his hand. During his reign, he would certainly have found a way to use the Habsburgs once on this condition.

……

At the same time, in Groningen, the capital of West Friesland, there was a bit of an accident in the battle - the army of the Duchy of Gedes actually abandoned the city and fled......

Is it a real defeat, not a ploy......

Speaking of which, this is not to blame Marshal Bonitz and his officers for being incompetent, but it is really an accident......

It all started with a big businessman from Groningen, Neil. Risban said......

Neil. Risban was a big businessman in Groningen, and at the same time, he was a very timid man. In recent years, Groningen has changed hands several times. Risban was terrified, fearing that one day, the family's wealth would be robbed by those rebels, and even his family would be killed.

So, Neil. Risban organized his subordinates to quietly dig a tunnel in his family's old house for hiding and hiding his belongings.

In the beginning, the tunnel was not long and was limited to the underside of the house, just to hide belongings and family. But a few years later, Neil. Restban's men, dig a distance if they have nothing to do. Although the progress is very slow because of the difficulty of transporting the earth, it will not last for a long time.

Before the battle between the Saxon coalition and the Duchy of God, the tunnel had led to a small grove in the north of the city......

Neil. Risban did not know anything about military affairs, nor did he know that the army in the city belonged to the Duchy of God, and that there were thousands of Swiss mercenaries among them. He also thought that this army was still led by the former Frisian nobles. After all, after the Duke of Gedes captured Fyskefrijheid, the former governor of the Frisian aristocratic Republic, he still used him as a puppet leader.

So, in the uninformed Neil. It seems to Risban, West Friesland is still led by the former cowardly governor. Although I don't know why I was able to defeat the Saxon army last time, this time the Saxons were entangled with more than 20,000 people, and the defenders in the city were only more than 10,000, so it should be unstoppable......

In this way, after the siege, Neil, who was pessimistic about the future. Restban decides to take his wife and children and escape through a secret passage. After all, the Saxon coalition did not encircle the area north of the city.

Unfortunately, although the Saxon army did not encircle the northern part of the city for fear of dispersion, it still regularly sent cavalry to patrol the northern part of the city.

Neil. Shortly after Restban and his family left the tunnel, they encountered a Saxon patrol. The family was then captured alive by the Saxon army......

Neil. Restban himself was timid, and after being taken to George's tent, he was slightly frightened and explained how he had escaped from the city.

When I learned that Neil. After Restban dug a tunnel connecting the city with the outside of the city, George's eyes lit up......

Although George had not read the art of war books in China, he had heard the story of the famous "Trojan Horse" in ancient Greece. Obviously, George also understood the great benefits of combining the inside and the outside.

These days, although George brought a lot of artillery to bombard the city walls and gates, it was useless. Because, Groening is a fortified city at all. And several city gates have also been replaced with large iron gates, ignoring the smashing of iron balls and shells.

Therefore, if you want to break the city, you can only pile up human lives to climb the wall. However, the Geds army was not much less than the combined Saxon army. If the damage is too great, even if you attack it, you may be beaten out......

When George had a headache, Neil. Like an angel, Restban appeared in front of him and sent a tunnel to the city......

As a result, George conducted a few days of special training in the army to adapt the soldiers to the environment of night fighting. A few days later, George sent hundreds of elite knights, dressed in full plate armor, and followed the secret passage into the city.

At the same time, the Saxon army also quietly came to the north gate. Because, Neil. The old house of the Restban family, near the North City Gate......

In the middle of the night, the battle began. The Principality of God's army was ill-prepared, and it was a night attack, so it was inevitable that they would panic. Fortunately, Marshal Bonitz was calm in the situation, and the Swiss mercenaries had also seen a big scene. Under the command of Field Marshal Bonitz, a group of elite Swiss mercenaries quickly assembled and withstood the onslaught of the Saxon coalition forces in the streets. In this narrow street, the cold weapons troops faced each other, and it was simply impossible to win or lose quickly.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Field Marshal Bonitz quickly gathered the rout and regrouped. Originally, Marshal Bonitz wanted to drive the Saxon coalition out of the city. Unfortunately, after the enemy's attack, the army of the Duchy of Guedes was completely demoralized. In desperation, Field Marshal Bonitz, who originally had 14,000 main troops and 3,000 former West Friesian Resistance Army soldiers, evacuated Groningen from the West Gate with less than 10,000 men.

The Saxon coalition forces outside the West Gate had wanted to stop them. It's a pity that this army is either Swiss mercenaries or the elite of the Duchy of Godes. It just so happened that it was the motley army of the Saxon coalition that was responsible for besieging Simon. Rushed by these elite troops, they were immediately routed......

In fact, those who were taken out of the city by Marshal Bonitz were all strong elites. It's a pity that they were frightened by the enemy's night attack, and at this moment they had no fighting spirit and the people were panicked. Otherwise, with these 10,000 people, even if they can't be defeated, they can resist the attack of the Saxon coalition army and remain undefeated.

George, Duke of Saxony, did not know the situation of the army of the Duchy of Geddes, but he was well aware that the coalition army had killed and captured six or seven thousand people in the city, and that less than ten thousand had escaped. The Sachs army, on the other hand, had more than 21,000 men at this time.

So, after leaving 1,000 men to defend the city and take prisoners, he immediately pursued Bonitz's army with the remaining 20,000 horses, intending to completely destroy it and bring permanent peace to West Friesland......
