The Italian coalition army in the center attacked the French army, and there was a fierce battle between the two sides, and for the Italian army, the bad news was that the French Swiss mercenaries were all concentrated in the center......

The Swiss mercenaries were undoubtedly combative, and until 1513, when they were dealt a decisive blow by the now friendly French army, the Swiss pikemen had been roaming Central and Western Europe, active in important battlefields from Flanders to the Mediterranean, piercing the chests of hundreds of hand-to-hand soldiers, and the rest of the Italian infantry fled in horror and fear.

However, the more decisive role in the battle was the cavalry confrontation, which was said to have been the first battle of Seminara in history, in which the main culprit of the defeat of the Spanish side was the 10,000 low-quality Calabrian militia of Naples, and then the fierce attack of the French heavy cavalry.

Although there were no large-scale battles of Spain, the French cavalry put a lot of pressure on the Spaniards (mainly Castilians, who had just landed at Crotone) during some raids and encounters in the south.

The Spanish cavalry was not without a hard fight, and they came back a few years later. Now, however, the French heavy cavalry and the Swiss pikemen were a near-insoluble presence for the same number of troops—on the premise of ignoring a certain king of plug-ins—which was very unfortunate for the Italian cavalry. They came across such a catastrophic combination of punches.

But if you want to say that the Italian cavalry will lose badly, it is not necessarily, after all, the Italian cavalry has a numerical advantage! It was a fourfold numerical superiority - not the kind of "numerical superiority" of Gonzalo in the first battle of Seminala, in fact, Gonzalo had no so-called numerical superiority at all, the Castilian themselves only had 5,000 men, and the 10,000 Neapolitan troops were absolute pig teammates, and the combined forces of the French and Swiss armies on the opposite side were almost twice as large as the Castilians.

The Italian cavalry was at least the average level of the Italian army. There are no pig teammates.

The Italian army invested nearly 4,000 cavalry, with more than 2,000 armed heavy cavalry and remnant lancers (don't get me wrong, they are not at all damaged, and they seem to be a relatively good cavalry team), while the French Imperial Knights have less than 1,000 knights.

But!

The Italian heavy cavalry, even the heavy cavalry, was mainly composed of the burghers, and was less than the feudal knights, lacking in sharpness, backward in tactics, and not adapted to the dense charge carried by the French army and the behavior of the French army in not leaving prisoners - yes, no prisoners, Europe in this era was a cruel place, such as the Geneva Convention, the acceptance of surrender, the preferential treatment of prisoners, the prohibition of the use of poison gas...... These humanitarian agreements do not exist! When the Italian citizens came to the battlefield with guns and horses, they still said that their psychological preparations were too fragile and they had to apply some glass glue......

However, the Italian cavalry was outnumbered, and they were constantly charging from all sides, and they died in batches. The French army ordered the knights to kill the sky darkly, blood flowed all over the ground, and the blood merged with the overflowing water of the plain land, and suddenly there was a terrifying scene of rivers of blood, blood flowing and pestles, and erosion for miles.

In the midst of the melee, a tall and mighty knight rushed out and killed himself into the Italian army, he really killed alone, he killed a large number of Italian cavalry along the way, and captured the Italian military flag! This fearless knight in blood-colored armor is called Bayar!

And then, Bayar returned to the army with honor? No! He's been fighting! When the whole battle was over, the retreating Italian army (not that the Italian coalition was defeated) pursued all the way to the vicinity of Milan!

And then, he gloriously ...... Captured.

Indeed, it is still worthy of the word glory, this deed is clearly King Xiang, Guan Gong, and Zhao Yun!

It's a pity that King Xiang killed himself in Wujiang, Guan Gong was defeated in Maicheng, and Zhao Yun saved a mediocre master...... In the end, they all failed......

It was Liu Bang, Sun Quan, and Cao Wei who won.

The French army has such heroes, so will they be far from strategic defeat?

The Italian coalition did not lose! They have a numerical advantage after all! Although the average level of Italian soldiers is low, who can use elite soldiers in this year's war! Even the traversers were nothing more than weapons and tactics (and money), and the main ones in the French army were peasants with crossbows. After all, the level of the Italian coalition was stronger than the Calabrian militia, which was intimidated at the first charge, and the overall numerical superiority of 20000 against 12000 played a role.

In the end, no matter how niubility the new arms of the French army were, they were on average higher than the Italian coalition forces, and they could not win for the numerically inferior French army-

The French army was also very tired after an hour of bloody fighting! The main forces of the French army withdrew to the hill on the left side of the road and held out.

Fortunately, the Italian coalition also suffered heavy casualties, and Gonzaga was forced to use all the reserves of the coalition army early, and was unable to expand the victory. The ambush battle gradually came to an end. In addition to the heavy losses and crushing of the rear army, the French front army and the Chinese army broke through the encirclement and continued north, and the Italian army could only watch the French leave, and then collect their troops and join forces, and by the way, when they returned to Milan, they collected the overexcited knight Bayar.

In this battle, the French seemed to have fought to a draw with the Italians, and suffered fewer casualties than the Italian coalition - 1,200 French and 2,000 Italians.

However, the battle still announced the collapse of the French army.

In terms of numerical proportion, although the absolute number of casualties of the French army was small, the total strength of Italy was large, and the proportion of casualties was actually 10%, and the French army did not find a bargain.

In addition, there were many wounded on both sides, and the French army lost a large number of supplies, gold and silver treasures, food tents, weapons and ammunition, and the French king's picture album of beauties (the one that was also acquired by the allied forces in history...... All of them were lost, and the lives of these wounded were in danger. Not to mention the wounded, other healthy soldiers are also facing this dangerous future!

From this point of view, the strategic attempt of the Italian coalition to attack the French army has been achieved. They also recaptured most of the Italian possessions plundered by the French army, and all the gold, silver and jewels were returned to the Italians, and the French coveted Italian territory was completely crushed, and the occupied territories of Castile and Aragon (Roussillon and Perpignan) on the northwestern coast of the Mediterranean were returned to the Spaniards themselves. To the north, King Henry VII of England and Ferdinand colluded to loot and extort ports and merchant ships along the Atlantic coast of France, and made a fortune from the war. The fat-headed king Charles VIII had to return to France empty-handed. By that time, the French army in the north had crossed the Alpine passage after a long march of hunger and cold, and only a few hundred men remained with their majesty.
