Chapter 34: Unbearable

The French army hastily packed up and immediately began to retreat towards France, but they marched very slowly with their burdensome gold, silver and jewels. What's worse is that they are attacked by various Italian partisan resistance forces along the way, making them annoying, exhausted and helpless.

Ryan took his generals out of the villages outside to sweep, hoping to find some food and clothing, he brought out more than a thousand people, scattered into dozens of teams to various villages to collect grain and grass, although this is very cruel to the local people, will make them unable to live, but now the French army is in such a tragic situation, and can not take care of too much, to ensure the survival of the French army first, the rest can only be put aside.

He took a large group of soldiers, in a village to scavenge all the grain and grass, and then stood at the entrance of the village and waited, he just found a fresh girl in it, and now he has caught it in his hands and has been addicted, as for the other soldiers, in batches in the village to vent, although there was an outbreak of epidemic before, the French army had a period of prohibition to do so, but the French army is now facing this almost desperate situation, if you don't let the soldiers vent, I'm afraid that the French army will collapse first if it can't hold on for a moment or three, There's no point in saying anything.

In the process of their plundering, of course, the Italians cannot be slaughtered by you like sheep, but at this critical moment of life and death, they will not be merciful, and anyone who resists the slightest will be cut down with a knife. However, although the Italians resisted the French army everywhere, the French army did not dare to slaughter at will now, for fear of arousing the desperate heart of the Italians, so they only killed those who dared to resist, and the others were directly left aside, just robbing their own food and grass and looking for women to vent, of course, the soldiers would not let go of any opportunity to loot, where the looted villages, almost all the property in them was looted by the French army.

Ryan stood under the big tree at the entrance of the village, and he was also nostalgic for the days when he was with Tiger. When they first came to Italy, which of the Italian states was not easily trampled under their feet and struggled to survive? How free and enjoyable were he and Tiger in Italy? He could still remember the extreme pleasure he felt when he insulted Ruth with several Lords, and he missed the peerless beauty Ruth. It's a pity that such a beauty is always fragile, and she began to die of sadness, despair and depression after the French army raged for so long, and even forced the king of Naples away. However, who would have thought that the French army, which was invincible at the beginning, would end up in such a desolate situation in just a few months, and Tiger, who was happy with him at the beginning, would lose his life due to an epidemic? However, at this time, Ryan did not have the slightest feeling of the aftermath of his life, although he did not die in the epidemic, but the current situation is not optimistic at all, whether he can escape from Italy and escape back to France is still a difficult question to answer! Thinking of this, his subordinates weighed three points again, and kneaded the delicate beauty next to him a few times, causing the beauty to moan a few times in pain.

While Ryan was still leisurely waiting for the soldiers inside to come out, suddenly a group of archers he brought out not far away fled to him in panic like lost dogs. Ryan was taken aback and realized that they might have encountered the Italian Resistance. Although they knew that these damned Italians often attacked them, they had no choice but to act in detachments like this often in order to raise grain and grass, otherwise if they sent out all the troops for this little bit of grain and grass, it would be more than worth the loss.

Waiting for them to get closer, Ryan asked, "What's going on?" Met the Italian partisans? The soldiers who fled back said in a panic: "Yes, General, there are a lot of Italians, dressed in tattered clothes, carrying all kinds of tools, farm tools and even sticks, and they are charging at our team!" Fortunately, we were much better equipped than we were, and that allowed us to break through and the other brothers were surrounded and died at their hands! ”

When Ryan heard this, he knew that the problem was serious, so he immediately issued a military order, so that the soldiers who were still merry and merry inside immediately gathered at the entrance of the village, and then sent dozens of heralds to go out to find the squads scattered in various villages. He thought that after all this time, they should have all found food and grass.

Next, the bad news came out one after another, among the group of people they came out, several squads were ambushed, and then cut down by the Italians, although it also made these Italian resistance soldiers pay the price of blood, but they couldn't stand these madmen! So Ryan urgently summoned all the squads to gather, and only by condensing more people, the safer they were!

As time passed, more and more troops were finally assembled, and when most of the squads that did not encounter the attack were finally assembled, Ryan did not dare to delay any longer, and immediately gave the order to march to the French base camp, and those who were still left behind could only be left to their own devices. Ryan was also afraid in his heart, although the number of these people he brought out was a bit large, but he was always afraid of being surrounded by those crazy people, and then killing both of them.

On Ryan's way back to the camp, the scouts identified a large Italian resistance force nearby, which made Ryan frightened, and suddenly had an idea, and the idea of killing chickens and monkeys immediately came to mind. He instructed his soldiers to do so, and then led the army to meet the large force of the Italian resistance. He thought to himself, even if he couldn't eat this batch of troops with the strength in his hands, he was not afraid of being killed by the other party in a short period of time, because the other party was always just a rabble that was put together temporarily, and the lethality was not strong at all, and the only thing he could rely on was the overwhelming number of people, and as long as the French army stood firm, he would not be afraid of these rabble in a short time.

The leader of the Italian rebels frowned as the French army approached them, wondering what they were trying to do. Although he also knew that these individuals could not gnaw at this large force of the French army, but the other party could not inflict much damage on him in a short period of time, so what was the purpose of their close to the place where their troops were?

When the French saw them from afar, they began to stop, and then assembled their battle formations, prepared for defense, and then began to walk slowly towards here, and the leader of the rebels looked at the battle of the French army, and thought that it would be better to avoid the edge for the time being, so he ordered a slow retreat, and distanced himself from the French army on the opposite side. However, to the surprise of the leader of the rebels, the French army on the opposite side actually did not give up, and after seeing their retreat, they still slowly approached him, looking like that, they wanted to fight them to the death! However, the rebel leaders have been fighting against the French army for a long time, and they are still very clear about the habits of the French army, and they still pestered themselves even though they knew that they could not make a profit, so there must be some other purpose!

As soon as he thought of this, the leader of the rebel army suddenly broke out in a cold sweat! The French are trying to hold them back! So, what's the benefit of holding them back? The leader of the rebels frowned and thought for a while, and his face suddenly turned a little pale!

The other party is trying to hold them back, and then take the opportunity to contact the French cavalry and give them a pot of dumplings! Thinking of this, the leader of the rebel army couldn't bear it anymore, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this possibility! You must know that after fighting the French army for so long, he was able to develop from an unknown junior to one of the leaders of the resistance army today, relying on his bold and careful mind and cool head, he immediately understood the intention of the French army when he thought about it! The French must have sent a herald to inform the French cavalry, and if he had moved a little slowly, he would probably have been killed on the eve of this victory! He didn't want that!

The leader of the rebels immediately arranged for the retreat, in order to confuse the other party and protect himself, he gathered all the elite combat forces together, and quickly withdrew while the French army was not paying attention, while he himself rode a tall horse and sat on the rabble of the Italian rebels who had temporarily assembled to confuse the French army.

When he received the notice that his elite men had been evacuated to a safe place, he immediately shouted loudly: "These French barbarians are cheating! They quietly sent out a herald to call out the French cavalry to outflank us! We've been tricked! Hurry up, or it'll be too late! After saying this, he didn't dare to wait any longer, and rode off with the elite guards around him. He was also afraid that the French cavalry would suddenly appear, and he would not be able to run away, and this shout would also cause the rabble that had been temporarily assembled in Italy to be in chaos for a while, and then the French army would have no time to pursue them.

Sure enough, when the Italians heard about the plan, they saw the leader galloping on horseback, and they were all frightened and fled in a panic!

Ryan stared at the situation on the other side in amazement, and finally could only sigh speechlessly, he couldn't imagine that the leader on the other side was so keenly aware that he was delaying, and this encirclement plan could be regarded as a failure. Sure enough, by the time the French cavalry arrived in a hurry, those Italians had already turned into birds and beasts and ran away, which also made Ryan complain a lot by Lane.

The Italian Resistance was able to resist the French at this time, and they were very sophisticated and determined people, and they also learned various war techniques and tactical techniques in the struggle against the French army, which made them more and more difficult to resist day by day.

Once the French army attacks with a large force, then these guerrillas will run faster than rabbits, and they will not be able to catch these cunning resistance troops like loaches at all, and once the French army is not careful, they will be harassed by these resistance forces in various attacks, and those troops who are scattered to find food, once they accidentally fall into the encirclement of the Italian resistance, they will be immediately outflanked and surrounded by them, and then they will be surrounded and killed in a very short time, and if the French army dares to send a small force out to rescue, then these resistance troops will surround and send reinforcements, Kill the rescue army that was sent out. The French army was dragged by these resistance troops in this way, and the speed of the march could not be increased at all, and the morale of the soldiers was extremely low, and they were further on the verge of collapse. The French army can no longer withstand such a toss!
