That night, the French first released a batch of carrier pigeons to return to China, and agreed that the letter with a certain mark was fake.

Then, the next morning, John. Rafite deliberately sent a few people dressed as carrier pigeon breeders to stand in the direction of the northwest corner of the city of Naples, and first used strips of cloth to briefly measure the downwind direction and wind speed, and successfully attracted the attention of the Spaniards.

"What are they doing?" A Spanish patrol in the northwest outside the city is unknown.

But the face of the patrol leader who led them changed:

"I see, the man is holding a pigeon, and they're going to release the pigeon later! Quick, go to the camp and call a few marksmen! ”

Then, within half an hour, the Spaniards sent a group of powerful Orion-born soldiers, skilled in archery or shooting, armed with bows and crossbows and arquebuses, to ambush the city in the northwest corner, with other Spanish soldiers in the middle to cover it.

About an hour later, sure enough, two men dressed as pigeon breeders came to the northwest corner of the city and released a carrier pigeon each......

"Bang Bang"

"Whoosh"

In the Spanish patrol below, the sound of gunfire and bows and arrows rang out at the same time......

Eventually, one of the two pigeons made a sharp turn in the air and dodged the blow, while the other pigeon was unlucky enough to be knocked down.

At the same time, a dead soldier set out from the North Gate with a letter and was intercepted by the Spanish cavalry halfway. The dead soldier resisted desperately, and was eventually killed by the Spanish patrol, and a bloody letter was found......

On the tower of the North Gate, Louis XII saw with his own eyes the brave French hussars and 20 Spanish patrol cavalry fighting to the death, and finally being hacked to death with knives......

"Rest assured, Monsieur Descartes, I will keep my promise to canonize your son as a knight and give him a manor!" Louis XII whispered in a voice that he could only hear, and went down the gate......

……

The two letters were then sent to the Great Tent of the Chinese Spanish Army for the perusal of several Spanish Supreme Commanders.

However, the letter tied to the pigeon's leg had an accident, and the pigeon's leg was hit by two buckshot bullets at the same time, and the letter was damaged. The translator could only find a limited number of words such as "food" and "mobilize as soon as possible" from the shredded letters.

The other blood-stained information recovered from the cavalry Monsieur Descartes was vaguely worded. It reads:

"Governor Carmeri of Provence (a province in southwestern France close to Italy), please contact Paris and get together as soon as possible what we need to send to Italy. Specifically sent to the border between the Papal States and Naples, I will send a large army to meet it. Remember, you only have two months, no more than three months at the latest, or something big will happen! ”

"It seems that the French are still very cautious, and they use carrier pigeons in the sky to deliver news, and knights are also sent on the earth to deliver news. Moreover, the information on the ground deliberately does not even make it clear what the 'thing' is, so as not to be intercepted by us. ”

"I see that they are short of food, and I am afraid that we will know. That's why I was in a hurry to inform the country. Well, the message is important 'you only have two months, no more than 3 months at the latest'...... Well, it seems that the French can only last for three months at most, ah......" One of the five big guys said on his own.

"Seemingly, it makes sense...... the other four agreed. After all, the inference given by the Brain Supplement Emperor sounded reasonable......

The next day, it seems, was to confirm their conjecture. The French released two pigeons again, but this time the French deliberately avoided the pigeons released by the patrol, and the Spaniards failed to intercept the information. At the north gate, the French suddenly sent 20 cavalrymen, each carrying a scroll, taking advantage of the gap between the Spanish patrol cavalry, to rush out, flee north, and successfully break through.

"It seems that our inference is correct, and today, the French are desperate to send intelligence. Apparently, they are in a hurry! "The Brain Supplement Emperor gave the brain supplement inference again.

"Well, we'll wait two or three months, when the French run out of food, and then we will destroy them. Best, capture King Louis XII alive! Another big guy said wistfully.

"Capture the King of France alive...... several people fell into YY together, thinking of the scene of being worshiped by the people of all Spain in the future......

In fact, they did not know that this time the letter was delivered, and Louis XII's order was to pretend to raise food. Then, a large quantity of sediment was packed in sacks and transported in the direction of Italy, deliberately so that Spanish spies in France could see it......

This is the same Marlin to John. Rafi's instructions, after all, to do the play in full, are easier to convince the Spaniards.

Then, as if reassuringly waiting for the French to collapse due to food shortages, the five Spanish nobles began to seize the military power of this army of tens of thousands as Marin expected. Moreover, the problem of multiple people leading the army together has arisen, and there are five people who want to lead the war. After all, it seems that Spain has won steadily, as long as the French run out of food......

As a result, the five people began to fight openly and secretly, and began to secretly win over the middle and senior officers of this large army in order to enhance their own voice in the army.

As for the French? They ignored it for the time being. Just follow the original Gonzalo. Morality. The deployment of Córdoba, desperately intercepting and containing, will not have major problems after all......

……

At the same time, on the distant island of Ireland, a war of conquest continues......

The rain in Ireland was not covered, and it was fine when attacking the indigenous territories of the O'Neill and Magnes families in the northeast. After all, the northeastern region belonged to later Northern Ireland, and the rain was relatively low, and the British army moved very smoothly.

The large-caliber artillery of the artillery battalion provided by Marin successfully blasted open the gates of the main cities of the two families, easily crushing the armies of the two families.

But after that, it didn't go so well......

The aboriginal chiefs of the other families of Ireland saw the inexorability of the British army from the defeat of the O'Neill and Magnes families. As a result, Fendt, the leader of the O'Neill family's neighbor, took the lead in abandoning the city, led his elite and took supplies, hid in the forests and swamps of Ireland, and began to fight guerrilla warfare with Yingjun.

The west of Ireland has abundant rain and a warm climate. As a result, the forest is dense and the swamps are crisscrossed. When Edward personally led an army of 25,000 and Adler's 2,000 Wicklow Territory soldiers and horses attacked the territory of the Otonel family, he easily conquered two small ruined cities in the territory (they also gave up on their own initiative), but it was very nerve-wracking to want to exterminate the resistance of Fendt......

At the beginning, the army entered the forest and adopted a brutal strategy of cutting down trees, forcing Fendt's army to nowhere to hide in just two weeks. But when it came to the swampy area, the British were dumbfounded......

The army led by Fendt was a native and naturally familiar with the local swamps. Therefore, their wandering resistance easily bypassed the dangerous swamp and walked freely through the swampy area.

But the British could not, they were not familiar with the local swamps. In particular, there are some secluded swampy edges that appear to be grassy on the surface, but if you step on horseback, you can easily sink into them......

Because the British army was not familiar with the local swamp and had an absolute superiority in troops, they were overturned by the swamp, and they also lost some men and horses, and the pace of advance was greatly delayed.

By the time Gonzalo was transferred out of Italy, Edward and his army had just wiped out Fendt's resistance. The reason why they were able to destroy the other side was because Fendt's resistance ran out of food, and when they went to the town to replenish, they were caught by the British army......

But that's just the beginning. Because of Fent's example, the other natives seem to be planning to do the same. So, Edward's conquest of Ireland was just beginning......
