Chapter 36: The Battle of Vorvono 2

The Venetian infantry formed a phalanx, approaching the French position step by step, and their eyes were all shining, as if the French army opposite was a beautiful woman stripped naked, and would let them do whatever they wanted without resistance. The Venetian infantry commander walked slowly at the end of the phalanx, looking at the French army on the opposite side calmly, he found that the French army on the opposite side was sending Swiss spearmen, so he guessed that it was due to the rain and the mud of the road, so the French heavy cavalry could not exert their due strength, so they sent Swiss spearmen to fight them.

Although it was the Swiss spearmen who were sent, the Venetian infantry commander was not at all happy. Although he was very excited before, he couldn't wait to beat the water dogs, but after all, it was his wishful thinking, and in the face of reality, he was quickly crushed. For he saw the Swiss spearmen on the other side, and the momentum they displayed was not at all comparable to the talent of the group he led, although the number of the opponents was far less than his own, but they stood so calmly in the pouring rain that they were all almost in the same position, and they also stood upright. Moreover, the Venetian infantry commander paid a little attention, and he noticed a phenomenon that made him very cold: the Swiss spearmen on the opposite side stood in a group of people standing in darkness, almost no one made a sound, and all of them stared at him with extremely cold eyes. On the other hand, he almost groaned at his own troops, and although they were also in a phalanx, and marched as neatly as possible, they always had to stop and straighten out the formation after walking a few steps, and a large group of people were shouting and shouting, accompanied by the sound of rain, as if they were playing some disgusting music, or rather like a vegetable market.

It was because of this observation that the originally fiery heart of the Venetian infantry commander was completely cold, and the so-called falling leaves knew the autumn, and the momentum that the two sides were currently showing almost represented the absolute strength of both sides, which made him not frightened!

The heavy rain kept falling, and the figures in the distance were blurry, but the momentum exuded by the Swiss spearmen was extremely amazing, it turned out that even if they were weakened layer by layer, the elite was still elite, and the strength was too strong!

The Venetian infantry commander slowly approached the Swiss spearmen with 10,000 Venetian infantry, and he struggled to adjust his formation in the hope of being able to counter the almost unrivaled momentum of the Swiss soldiers.

Finally, the two armies slowly approached, and in the heavy rain, the two sides began to fight flesh and blood. Although the Swiss soldiers were far fewer than the Venetian infantry, from the moment they first began to engage in battle, the Venetian infantry was harvested by the Swiss soldiers in large areas, and their uniform stabbing movements and incomparably skillful cooperation made the Venetian side suffer greatly.

The Venetian infantry commander frowned, at the beginning when the battle formations of both sides were still very complete, although the Swiss soldiers were also very effective in their own side, at least they could still cause enough damage to the Swiss soldiers, but slowly, after their respective formations were slowly scattered, the disadvantages of the Venetian side were gradually highlighted! Swiss soldiers can usually be combined into a small formation in twos and threes, and cooperate with each other tacitly, and when they see a large number of Venetian soldiers gathered together, they will first bypass and find some lonely or sparse Venetian infantry to attack, once they see that the Swiss soldiers are in a confrontation with the Venetian infantry, they will immediately automatically assign some people to help encircle and suppress. The Swiss soldiers were somewhat accidentally surrounded by a large number of Venetian infantry, if they could not be saved, the Swiss soldiers would decisively abandon these people and fight in other directions, and if they could save the surrounded Swiss soldiers, then the other surrounding Swiss soldiers would immediately rush up, and the surrounding Venetian infantry would be driven away like ducks, and rescue their comrades.

On the other hand, on the other hand, the fighting quality shown by the Venetian infantry can be said to be scum compared with the Swiss soldiers! Due to the heavy rain, everyone's vision was seriously affected, so the numerical superiority of the Venetian infantry was not brought into full play at all. Moreover, although they were also affected, most of the Swiss soldiers were calm and able to accurately judge the situation around them, and then disperse to besiege them, crush the Venetian infantry, or rescue their comrades. Most of the Venetian infantry scurried around like headless flies, shouting everywhere, accidentally falling alone, not knowing how to pursue their comrades, but running around, often accidentally crashing into the encirclement of the Swiss soldiers. Most of those who were not left alone gathered together one by one, with no cooperation with each other at all, just huddling together to keep warm, and they were easily divided and surrounded by the Swiss soldiers, cutting off contact with each other, and breaking each other.

Tedler stood at the back of the battlefield, sneering at the battlefield, thinking to himself that if his army had not been exhausted from the long journey these days, and had been weakened to such an extent due to various factors, it would not be enough for the Venetian infantry to come and fight his Swiss spearmen! If it is a Swiss soldier in his heyday, facing such a group of rookie soldiers on the opposite side, it is estimated that he can defeat the opponent in three moments, and then the next thing is to chase and kill the ducks! Even in the current situation, the Swiss soldiers have been weakened a lot, but it is still easy to deal with these rookies on the battlefield, although these Venetian infantry are much more numerous than them, but there is no way to defeat their own side, on the contrary, in the case of long enough in the world, the Swiss soldiers can rely on their own war skills to slowly kill and weaken the Venetian infantry, and finally eliminate the opponent.

The rain was still falling, but there was red blood flowing on the ground, and bright red blood was flowing everywhere, staining the land with red paint. The Venetian infantry commander saw that the battle situation at the front line was really not good, and did not see many corpses of Swiss soldiers, but his own soldiers fell a lot, and he had to withdraw his troops and retreat temporarily, and he had to regroup into a battle formation to continue the battle.

Seeing that the other party was planning to retreat and reorganize the formation, Tedler also took the opportunity to withdraw his troops and let his soldiers retreat to rectify the formation. Because although it seems that the Swiss have the upper hand at the moment, they are much smaller than the opponent, and if they continue to fight like this, although they can inflict great damage on the enemy, they will also suffer heavy losses. On the contrary, if you continue to fight the opponent in a neat formation, you will be able to maximize your experienced and well-trained advantages, and you will be able to fully carry out combined attacks, minimize your own losses, and kill and injure the enemy.

The armies of the two sides gradually disengaged and then regrouped, intending to continue fighting. At this time, it is even more possible to see the gap in the quality of the two armies. In the process of retreating, the Swiss soldiers tried their best to rescue their teammates back to the rear, and they also stared at the enemy more cautiously, for fear that the enemy would kill them. As soon as the Venetian infantry heard the signal to retreat, they rushed wildly, not to mention to rescue those besieged comrades, even if they fell to the ground, they didn't pay attention to them at all, and ran directly to their own camp.

Although the Swiss soldiers retreated slowly to help their comrades and pay attention to the enemy's situation, so they returned to their base camp much later than the Venetian infantry, but when they really began to regroup, the Swiss soldiers stood in line very skillfully and quickly, and soon stopped the commotion and quieted down. The Venetian infantry, on the other hand, arrived at the camp one step earlier, but it was always like a chaotic vegetable market, a large group of middle-level officers stood there blankly, moving very slowly to gather their own troops and horses, and then slowly stood up in line and formed a battle formation under the loud shouts and painstaking command of the infantry commander. However, compared to the Swiss soldiers on the opposite side, it really makes people feel very powerless and helpless. After the opposite side formed a battle formation, it had already quieted down, and then it was the eyes that looked at this side indifferently, which made people look very depressed, and although this side was barely re-formed into a battle formation, the whole formation still looked a little distorted, and the crowd commotion had not stabilized at all.

At this time, the Venetian infantry commander left a cold sweat, and he was still glad in his heart, fortunately, the Swiss soldiers on the opposite side did not take advantage of the chaos to cover up, otherwise, it is estimated that they will be completely defeated if they charge! He was thinking in his heart that the generals on the opposite side were still poor after all, and failed to seize this fleeting fighter to completely defeat themselves. However, although now that your own side has formed a battle formation, if you still follow the previous tactics, you will fall into the same dilemma again, knowing that your own soldiers are more than twice as many as the opponent's soldiers, but they have been pressed and beaten by the place, and there is little power to fight back.

As a result, the Venetian infantry commander has been thinking about how to break the current predicament, since his own soldiers are more than the other side, he must find a way to give full play to his own advantages.

In fact, with Tedler's experience, how could he not see the excellent fighter at that moment, but his own family knows his own affairs, although his side has been pressing the Venetian infantry to fight, but this is because his side has used twelve points of strength, because of their well-trained and experienced combat experience, they can always fight with the maximum strength they can play, which can still fight the opponent breathless when the number of people is twice as big. However, the disadvantage of this is obvious, that is, the physical strength and energy consumed are too intense, and it takes a long time to recover before you can continue to fight. This is also the reason why the other side has just retreated in a chaotic manner, and even when it was so chaotic when regrouping the battle formation, the other side did not take the opportunity to pursue. Moreover, Tedler thought more, he knew that these people were only part of the Allied forces at present, and when they continued to flee to France, they would continue to be surrounded and intercepted, if they fought their old bottom now, it would be meaningless to annihilate all the other party, after all, this is not a decisive battle!

Tydler considered all of the above, and finally decided to let his soldiers rest and regain their strength, and he did not provoke the other party, nor did he take the initiative to provoke, just waiting for the other party to issue an attack order, and then he counterattacked. Although the time for your own energy recovery will also make the other party recover their energy, but the elite level of the two sides is not the same, and it is obvious that after your own energy is restored, you will have a greater advantage! This is Tedler's calculation.
