Look at the left again, the emperor's army is bright and bright, although the formation is very strange, it is a long snake formation, but it is clear that they are the victors!

The leader of this army was instantly confused and lost! Actually lost! Thousands of people were killed all over the field by the emperor's more than 1,000 troops, this is not scientific! He didn't have time to think about the reason now, his first task was to make a decision, whether to lean to the right or to the left, it was a matter of life and death for the hundreds of people behind him!

Then one of the knights of the royal army on the dock came out with a banner and rode alone towards the late army, and soon a knight approached him with a flag, and the two men met in the middle of the two, and talked for a few minutes, and then each returned to his ranks. After a few more minutes, the tardible army began to move, moving towards the docks, throwing away several flags as they went.

"Don't use the devil's weapons anymore, they're allies, join the Imperial Army." The emperor was about to reach out to grab Hong Tao again, but Hong Tao grabbed his wrist.

"Your Majesty, I am a person with kung fu on my body, it is best not to use your hands and feet when you talk to me in the future...... You mean they surrendered? Hong Tao probably understood what the emperor meant, this Venetian army was more shameless than the grass on the wall, and it took other people's money and actually defected.

"Not to surrender, but to join my army and pledge allegiance to the emperor! What is Kung Fu? Friedrich II shook his wrist and took a step to the side.

"Kung fu is the skill of beating people, I can fight three karls alone, if I don't hold a weapon. Do you think it would be beneficial for such an army to join us? It's best not to let them get near my boat. I don't trust them. "Hong Tao doesn't quite understand the rules here. It's not a child's house. Say join, join, what if they mutiny again in a while?

"No, the war is over, the Venetians are very good at negotiating, let them negotiate with the Lombards on my behalf, there will be a good result." Friedrich II poked his head out of the side of the ship and looked at the two rows of cannon barrels not far from his feet.

"It doesn't seem to be over yet, you see. They are carrying the corpses at the gates of the city, trying to close the gates, this is to resist to the end, right? Hong Tao did not agree with the emperor's judgment, he had been holding a telescope from time to time to take a look at the city wall and the situation near the city gate, just when those Venetians were about to defect, there were many figures at the city gate, as if there were still people in command.

"It's the people of the church...... This group of religious lunatics, they will kill more people! "The emperor's eyes are good, and he only needs to look at them with a telescope to know who those people are at the gate of the city.

The emperor's judgment was correct. The city of Rena was taken over by the Church, and even the person who came out to negotiate became a bishop. The results of the negotiations brought back by the Venetians were not encouraging. He said that the Lombard lord and the head of the Lombard branch of the Knights Templar had been killed in battle, and that the cardinal and several nobles had been wounded at the head of the city, and that the city was now being taken over by the cardinals, who were going to wage a holy war to defend the Christians in the city from foreign and demonic invasions.

"What to do? The cardinal archbishop does not surrender, there are at least two or three thousand people in the city, do you dare to shoot at the bishop? "Hong Tao regretted it a little, just now he should have kept firing at the city gate, so that the number of people who could run back would be even less, just because this emperor was a fake, and it was difficult to ride a tiger!

"Bishop? Do you think he dares to stand on the top of the city! He must have shrunk in the church at this point, and we are a little bit close, Lord Duke, will those things in your ship reach the church in the city? At this time, the emperor began to transform again, and even his brother Rong had a smell of evil, and actually instructed Hong Tao to bombard the church.

"Raise it four degrees, target the big spire in the city, and fire one round from the upper artillery!" Since the emperor is not afraid, then Hong Tao is even more afraid, isn't it just a temple, we have destroyed the altar on Jawa Island, not one or two, this time we will also blow up a foreigner's temple to try.

“…… Damn, I didn't hit ...... Two more degrees! The two deck guns came together and let the Malacca shoot with them, I don't believe it! "The church was indeed within the range of the artillery, but it was difficult to get the distance from the wall through the walls, and the first round of shelling had no effect, and the lookout said that two shells had hit the middle of the church, but nothing could be seen from the deck. Hong Tao was a little impatient, so he just shot a salvo, and he couldn't care about hurting the people by mistake.

"Holy! That's too unsturdy, isn't it? "The second round of shelling was at a good angle, and the density was great, and the tower on the east side of the church was hit by several shells at the same time, and at first it was fine, but after a minute or two it suddenly tilted to the side, and then it collapsed, and the dust and fog deck could be seen on it.

The effect of the two rounds of artillery bombardment was still to kill 1,000 enemies and lose 800 of them, there were many knights in the Venetian army, many horses were frightened and ran away, and dozens of more infantry, at this time the Venetians probably already knew why the Lombards were defeated so quickly, and almost all of them stared at the two big ships, they were more familiar with the ships than any European, and they didn't have to guess what they were thinking.

"Well, they have surrendered, and I will accept the enemy's bow on your ship!" Soon, there was a reaction on the city wall, and the dozen or so flags that had been standing were all put down, and someone was sitting on the wall with hanging baskets lowering them.

"No, why don't they open the city gates, maybe it's a fraud!" Hong Tao was still not very relieved, and the chicken thief's cautious eyes began to turn again.

"It is estimated that it will take a while for the city gate to open, and there must be large stones behind it, blocked." The emperor was much sunnier than Hong Tao, and he firmly believed that he had become the victor, and the evil expression on his face was no longer visible, and he turned into the same silly smile as Carl.

"You better go to those ships and accept the surrender, it's better not to let them get on my ship, I am a partner with you, but I am enemies with them, and it is better not to show them a lot of things." Hong Tao didn't want too many people to get on his ship, that would be no good, as for the vanity of His Majesty the Emperor, it was worthless in Hong Tao's eyes and was not considered.

"Anchor! Let's stay away...... Take a few men to Captain Karl, and ask him to take you into the city, and go to the blacksmiths, carpenters, goldsmiths, weavers, doctors, and merchants of the city, and catch at least one of them for me, and shoot whoever dares to resist, but don't kill indiscriminately, go and go back quickly, and when they take over the city, they won't be able to catch them. The emperor went ashore in a dinghy with reluctance to accept the surrender of the place, and Hong Tao called Langya over and gave him a secret mission.

Hong Tao was not interested in robbing property, but by the way, he grabbed some talents and craftsmen back, and Hong Tao felt that it was still a good deal. The Great Song Dynasty was very advanced in many science and technology, but it cannot be said that it was ahead of the world in everything, such as the Gothic mixed Romanesque style church buildings in Europe, as well as the kind of muslin and hard cotton cloth they weaved, which could not be seen in the Great Song Dynasty. The most important thing about technology is integration, and if you put several technologies together, you might be able to make progress. Grab some European craftsmen and bring them back to Jinhe Bay, just let them stir it up.

Compared with the Mongol army, the European army, which was mainly knights, seemed to be weaker in its ability to resist attacks, especially in terms of escape, they basically did not flee much, except for those who were killed by artillery, most of them knelt on the ground and prayed while waiting for the judgment of fate. The end result was that of more than 5,500 troops, less than 1,000 were killed, hundreds were wounded, and more than 3,000 were taken prisoner.

"William may be expelled from the church by the Pope again......" The detachment led by Karl and Langya returned quickly, because they were restrained by his cousin in the city, and were finally escorted back by a team of knights, or blasted out. Fortunately, the emperor had not lost his mind, and the trophies and prisoners of the squad had not been deprived, otherwise Hong Tao would have to consider whether to open fire again.

"Stop! When I agreed with your cousin, there weren't so many terms, I just won the battle, and it didn't matter to me who died, let alone blasphemy or not. Isn't it the first time your cousin has been removed by the Pope? It's okay, once he is born and twice cooked, he is used to it. Besides, as soon as the Lombards surrendered, would the Pope still dare to play hard with your cousin? The important thing now is not to worry about the consequences, but to subdue the Lombards, so that they will never dare to rebel again, as long as the Papal States are surrounded, the Pope will not speak so easily. "Hong Tao is not worried about what the pope is not the pope, what happened to blow up the tower of a church! This is the emperor's war, and it has nothing to do with his own fart.

"William said let's go back first, the longer we stay here, the more troublesome it will be, and it's better to leave tomorrow morning......" Karl seemed to have seen the emperor himself in the city, and brought a message from the emperor.

"Let's go, he's not afraid of being counterattacked? Is this 1,800 people enough? Hong Tao didn't care about the emperor's unsympathetic approach, and it was true that staying here in his two ships was not conducive to him making up nonsense.

"It doesn't matter, all the Lombard armies are here, all captured by us. I am afraid that for a long time, His Majesty's army of 1,500 men will be the largest military force in Lombardy, unless the German princes are going to tear up their faces with Wilhelm. I guess they'll be on the side of the victors, and don't worry about His Majesty the Emperor. "Calby Hongtao wants to know the situation in his own country, and the whole of northern Italy is just such an army, and the main forces of the Knights Hospitaller and the Knights Templar are in the east, so there is no need to worry about their counterattack. They won't fight back, at most they don't take advantage of it, and they don't feel very happy.
