Too late to grieve for the doomed death squad members in the city, Marin quickly divided into two teams and took the siege ladder to the south and northeast gates of Siena City, intending to steal it again before the Sienaeans could react. As for the northwest gate, don't think about it, the city gate tower is already full of defenders at this moment.

But the news that came back before dawn was not optimistic, and the teams that went to attack the other two city gates failed. The army in the city seems to be ready. Obviously, after the accident at the northwest gate, the army in the city immediately sent people to the south gate and the northeast gate to warn.

At dawn, Marin, who was standing on the high ground outside the city and looking at the city of Siena, also gasped - he saw that the city wall of Siena was built on a hillside more than ten meters high, and it was estimated that it was twenty or thirty meters high if the height of the city wall itself was calculated. At such a height, ordinary siege ladders are not used at all, because the length is not enough.

As for the gate tower of the three gates, it is called one solid. Moreover, there were a lot of Furlong cannons erected on the city. If you dare to storm the city gate, you must first eat a wave of cannonballs...... And if you storm the city walls, it will be even more difficult. The walls are 30 meters high, and the slopes of the hills have a certain slope. If you want to climb the city wall diagonally, you need a 40-meter-long siege ladder...... How can there be such a long ladder...... The 50-meter sprint takes more than 7 seconds for the average person to run......

And, even if such a super big ladder is built, how heavy will it be? It took many people to carry it to build the wall. But the Sienese defenders at the top of the city are not dead, and if you dare to set up a ladder, they will dare to shoot arrows and throw stones from the top of the city. Moreover, even if the ladder is erected, it is easy for the defenders to push it down diagonally, or simply cut it down or saw......

In short, the city of Siena, surrounded by mountains on three sides, was too difficult to attack. It is no wonder that in 1555 Charles V sent a large army and the Florentine army to besiege Siena, and it took 18 months to break through the city. It's really ...... It's so hard......

Marin did not give up, took Karn and the others, rode the horses forcibly bought from nearby villages, and circled around the city of Siena several times, but did not find a single hole in the defense. What broke Marin the most was that the Sienaeans were so rich, and the three gates were all cast iron. Even if you bury a powder keg, you can't blow it up......

"What to do? What to do? "Marin was a little anxious. If it's a strong attack, it may not be able to fight for a year and a half.

"Forget it, let's keep digging tunnels!" In desperation, Marin could only let the previous team digging the tunnel continue to dig the tunnel. Moreover, he also sent a lot of people to help. Even if the granite is hard enough, I dig a lot of people, and everyone works hard for a while, which is very efficient.

Of course, Marin also sent people to feint every day to dig tunnels as cover. It's just that, at this pace, it won't work in a few months...... Marin thought about withdrawing. Otherwise, there will be no food......

With the maple sugar compressed biscuits in everyone's hands now, and the grain stored by Marin in the village of Yarani, it will last for a maximum of 20 days. After 20 days, the army will run out of food. If there is no food, it may collapse on its own......

Fortunately, two days later, while Marin was in a dilemma, good news came from the south—Saqqara's Fourth Army had conquered Grosseto and was leading a large army towards Siena, which was expected to arrive in two days.

"It's okay, it's okay!" Marin breathed a sigh of relief. The arrival of the Fourth Army meant that he did not have to worry about the food problem. Because, the transport road from the direction of Grosseto to Ciudad Siena is definitely opened. Marin stored a lot of grain in the Papal States, which could be transported by sea to the port of Talamonet, and then through Grosseto to the city of Siena.

On the third day, news came from the south gate that 4,000 reinforcements had been sent to Radicofani in the southeast......

It should be noted that both the Via Francigo and the mountain road leading to Grosseto converge at the south gate of the city of Siena. Then, Via Francecona passes through Ciudad Siena, exiting in the direction of the Northwest Gate and continuing to the Northwest ......

Marin suddenly came to the spirit - I can't break through your walls, and I can't defeat your reinforcements? So, he also brought 4,000 soldiers and horses, rushed to the south gate, and blocked the main road......

At this time, a word popped up in Marin's heart - "encircling the point to send reinforcements......

This is a classic tactic of our army during the War of Liberation, and its main purpose is to destroy the enemy's living forces. Moreover, the elimination of reinforcements under the nose of the enemy is conducive to the demoralization of the enemy.

The 4,000 men and horses that Marin brought with him to the south of the city were all elite troops wearing rhinoceros skin armor. Of course, behind them, there were thousands of men and horses, watching the enemy in the city to prevent them from rushing out and the reinforcements from inside and outside.

It's just that although the Via Francicona is known as the avenue, it can only accommodate seven or eight people in parallel, which is not conducive to the development of the army. Therefore, the formation of the Marin army can only be very flat.

When the 4,000 Sienese reinforcements arrived, the other side did not show weakness and bravely rushed forward and fought Marin's army hand-to-hand. The main reason is that the other party mistakenly believes that Marin's army was sent by the Papal States......

At the moment, there is a contradiction with Siena, that is, the Papal States. Apart from the Austrian army of Maximilian I, who went south to Rome to be crowned, the Sienaeans really couldn't think of anyone else who would raid Siena besides the army of the Papal States. Moreover, even Florence, Siena's sworn enemy, is now under the control of the Papal States.

Therefore, the commander of the Siena La di Cofani garrison, Sarimoé, who was alerted, concluded that it was the army of the Papal States without thinking about it. Because, it is impossible for the armies of other countries to come so quickly.

His judgment was also very reasonable, for the Sienese had not heard of any foreign troops coming to Italy after the recent departure of Maximilian I's army. If it was the army of the Papal States, the Sienaeans were not afraid. Therefore, Sarimoe sent 4,000 elites directly to Siena City and rushed back.

In addition, the four thousand elites brought by Ma Lin this time were all wearing black rhinoceros leather armor, and they did not wear the classic black cross vest on a white background of the Beihai State army. Therefore, the opposing army did not know the depth, and directly collided with it......

But as soon as the battle began, the Sienese reinforcements felt that something was wrong - why was the opponent's combat strength so strong?

Because it was a narrow battle, Marin directly put Karn, a beast, at the forefront. Karn was seen wearing rhinoceros leather armor and wielding a heavy mace, and rushed towards the enemy first, starting the forced mode. And beside him, several fierce generals from the Wolf Tooth Commando followed him to cover for him......

The heavy mace whistled at the Sienese reinforcements with a whistling wind, and Karn, with a few wolf-tooth commando fighters, was in the front row, defeating the Sienese reinforcements one after another.

In desperation, the Sienese reinforcement general, Karamosi, ordered a bow and arrow to hail him. However, the rhinoceros leather armor was not afraid of ordinary bows and arrows at all, and the Sienese reinforcements, in order to rush back to help, did not bring heavy crossbows and were not equipped with muskets. So, Karn and the others didn't care......

It's a pity that the road is too narrow, and although Karn and the others have achieved brilliant results, the whole army can't assault, and can only encroach on the opponent's advance little by little. The battle was fought until the evening, when the Sienese reinforcements were completely repulsed......

Marin did not give the order to pursue, because fighting on a narrow mountain road was too special, and it was difficult to expand the results of the battle. So, he simply ordered not to chase.

Of course, Marin had another idea, and that was - to wait for the people of Saqqara......

Saqqara's Fourth Army will arrive tomorrow, and when the Fourth Army arrives, it will be able to cooperate with the Mountain Infantry Regiment to encircle and completely eat this support army. If you chase closely at this time and chase the opponent too far, the Fourth Army will not be able to block the opponent's rear road. At that time, the mountain road is narrow, and once the opponent retreats further south, it will be impossible to block this force, let alone destroy the opponent......
