"Hey, author, why has Italy been stuck there for so long?" Ferdinand asked disgruntled in his mind.

"No way, I'm not very good at writing these scenes......" the author replied helplessly.

"Or, Ferdinand, I'll give you permission to open a God's perspective, and you can see what the situation is? Are the French okay now? ”

"Well, let me see," Ferdinand concluded, scanning all of Italy with a divine eye, "the state of the French is still okay." ”

"How is this possible?" The author is incredulous about this. "Syphilis, malaria, influenza, plague, the French have no shortage of anything, food, weapons, ammunition, supplies, the French have nothing, what do they take to keep them in good condition? Could it be that you are releasing water? ”

"Of course I have water, why do I have nothing to do with the French? Wait for next time, next time it's time to swallow the Kingdom of Naples. Ferdinand said indifferently.

"Well," the author muses, "but the Coalition forces are not as shrewd as you are, and they must have enough for the French to drink!" The French should be on the verge of collapse by now, they have nothing......"

"No, you're wrong!" Ferdinand vetoed it in no uncertain terms. "Even if this world is destroyed, the French still have at least a heart for the second in the middle!" He said in a tone of admiration and even adoration.

"I saw with my own eyes that every Frenchman who was dying was running with enthusiasm!"

"Towards the edge of eternity!"

……

As soon as the European powers declared war on France, the French army was already in a very disadvantageous position.

Charles VIII led the remaining 10,000 French troops in the north to retreat north, but the Italian states, which had united against him, did not intend to let him go, and were ready to teach the French king a profound lesson.

The major Italian states, not including the largest but most useless kingdom of Naples, quickly raised a large army and elected Francisco Gonzaga, Marquis of Mantua, as commander-in-chief.

Gonzaga planned to assemble the Italian coalition army on the right bank of the Terro River in the Emilian region, which was surrounded by mountains on both sides of the east and west, and there was a road on the banks of the Tyro River that was the only way for the French army, and the French army marched in columns, and the grain and baggage ...... were in the rear for thousands of years......

Then the Italian coalition army could use the cover of the river to suddenly attack the French army, divide the troops into three ways, pinch the head and tail and get out, and complete the slaughter and slaughter of the French army.

However, the geography of the Emilian region was somewhat against the Italians, and the west of the battlefield was densely forested and supplies were difficult, and the Italian army only deployed a small number of troops. The weather was even more problematic, and it rained heavily in Emilia for many days before the war, and the movement of the army was very difficult, especially the Italian light cavalry, which was not at all "light" now.

On July 6, 1495, 25 kilometers southwest of Parma, the Battle of Fornovo began.

Charles VIII had all of his children dead, but it was more because of the atrocities he inflicted on Queen Anne of Brittany. As a fairly valiant king, he personally led a group of Imperial Knights (gendarmes), Swiss pikemen, and the Scottish Guards in the center of the ranks, and light infantry in the rear. Most of the rest of the cavalry and artillery were at the front of the ranks.

The Italian coalition army achieved a surprise goal, the cavalry pounced on the head of the French army's long snake formation, the battle of the Italian coalition army, better than the battle of Seminara in the south of the original timeline, it seems that Italy will not never fight. Gonzaga himself and his troops were no worse than Gonzalo, and at least the Italians now dared to charge valiantly against the French heavy cavalry, which was much better than someone in the south who was advocating the "republic" of the "inherent territory". Of course, someone is not frightened, but he thinks that now is not the time, this war? Castile and Aragon let's make soy sauce—

On July 12, 1495, the 4,000-strong Aragonese army landed at Crotone on the southeast coast of Italy – a town that was initially loyal to Naples, surrendered immediately when the French arrived, then switched to Naples after the intervention of the European powers, and then surrendered again after the French army moved south...... For this kind of three-surnamed domestic slaves, it is better to simply end them neatly. As for the French army on the Calabrian Peninsula...... Well, ^_^ I'll wait for when you run back on your own......

……

Well, the camera will be given to the Italian cavalry who are charging forward, now that the Taylor River is flooding, and the flooded plain stretches for 5 kilometers, the assault of the Italian coalition army is not easy, but they insist on moving forward, look, the French are very embarrassed...... Their formations were all out of shape...... If there were no damn Zedi now, maybe the French army would be encircled, and 500 years from now, the history books of Italy can proudly claim that we fought the King of France and fled alone, and won a great victory!

But the reality is always darker. The French in front quickly adjusted, and the cavalry of the front army resisted stubbornly, while the Italian troops on the right flank, they were cavalry from Milan...... Oh⊙ ⊙! , poor Milanese, they are trapped in the swamp! Moves very slowly! It was the Duke of Milan who asked the French army to settle in the first place that caused this series of disputes, and finally trapped himself in it, you see, now they are fighting with the French, what a bother!

Let's look at the rear, ⊙?⊙! Those were light cavalry from the Balkans, and it seemed that the rearguard of the French army had been broken up by them...... Although the light cavalry sneak attack, the light infantry escorting the baggage should be victorious...... But it can be regarded as a contribution to the battle situation!

But now, what are those Balkan scum doing?

⊙?⊙！ Seeing the money-eyed guys, they are actually robbing those heavy treasures...... Can you give the author a little bit? ~_~ Well, they have forgotten all about the battle plan, how can they bother with the author.

Really. It is very normal for the Balkan scum to drop the chain at a critical moment.

Gonzaga was annoyed by this, but there was nothing he could do, so let's see what he was going to do. The Italian Chinese army also began to attack the French army.

The Italian artillery was much weaker than the French, and it is said that (it is said) that the Italian artillery did not fire as many shells in a day as the French artillery fired in an hour. According to the great mentor Engels, French artillery shook the whole of Italy, and from then on artillery was finally considered indispensable.

However, now the French artillery did not achieve an overwhelming advantage, because they lost a large number of artillery in the process of retreating, and at this time many artillery leads were wet by the rain and did not play their due huge role.

However, the Italian troops in the central direction were in big trouble......
