Charles VIII didn't dare to say that he was an experienced general, but he was also familiar with military books, often delved into those heroic deeds and war stories, and his location often gave him the opportunity to practice, such as camping, marching and camping, and planning grain, grass and ordnance. It is not an exaggeration to call him a military strategist.

After Charles VIII had mobilized the expeditionary force and the logistics corps to which he belonged, he summoned the leaders of the armies and held a meeting in the chief account of the army.

"Ryan, I choose your knight corps as the pioneer, after our army leaves our French border, your cavalry corps will select clever and eye-catching knights to form a scout pair, and then send more scouts to ride out, spy on the military along the way, understand the general road, and do a good job of safety reconnaissance and pave the way for the advance of the main army behind."

"Yes! Your Majesty! The subordinates must live up to their mission, and keep it safe for my army to pass through to Naples! Ryan replied excitedly when he heard that it was indeed for them to fight the outpost again.

"Also, you must leave me about 3,000 cavalry, and select a competent small commander to serve as a temporary commander, and I must have cavalry to respond to the left and right of the army at any time to ensure the safety of my main army and logistics battalion."

"Yes, Your Majesty, do as you are told!" When Ryan heard that he was going to divide the strength of his army, his face suddenly fell, and he said a little listlessly.

"Tiger, you command the crossbowman corps, walk with my Chinese army's big tent, artillery corps, Ruisheng corps and three thousand knight corps, as the main force of the Chinese army, set off to Naples together, you must always pay attention on the road, be careful and guarded, and not be taken advantage of by the enemy!"

"Your Majesty!"

"Ryan, you command the archer corps, walk with the logistics army behind the palace, and protect the materials of the expeditionary force, you need to be careful, whether my expeditionary force can shock the world in this battle, and it will be remembered for eternity, depends on whether these materials can be transported to the front line in good condition and put into battle!"

"Do as you are told, Your Majesty!" Ryan said loudly.

When Charles VIII had finished speaking, he said to the commanders: "Well, I have said what I want to command, and if you have any comments that need to be added, you can now put them forward." ”

Ryan was able to get a pioneer job, and was very satisfied, so he had no other opinions to make, and he was silly and happy beside him.

The leader of the Swiss Corps, Tedler, was a tall and mighty warrior with a square, angular face and a pair of large piercing eyes that sometimes shimmered with bloodthirsty light. He is powerful and powerful, and the muscles of his whole body are bulging, which makes people feel invincible at a glance. However, under his rugged appearance, there is actually an upright and brave heart, chivalrous and righteous, loyal to his employer, and has a keen sense of touch on the battlefield, and can judge the situation in one sentence. And he himself is also tireless in learning, knows the way of arranging troops, and is a rare general. At this time, he stood aside and pursed his lips, not saying a word. He had always been an outsider, and although he had been practicing his combo skills and mingling with other commanders for a long time, he felt that there was no need to speak at this time, so he chose to remain silent.

Although Tiger and Ryan are skilled in archery, have their own unique experience and methods for commanding ranged troops, and have a firm belief and determination to defeat the enemy, they are still young and inexperienced in warfare, so they cannot put forward constructive opinions at this time, and the two of them are also silent.

In the end, it was Angus, a veteran of the artillery corps, who thought of a question and asked: "Your Majesty, most of the materials for our army to go to the front line of the battle in Naples have been arranged by several ministers and Your Majesty in advance, and the problem is not big, Your Majesty's arrangement of troops just now is also a well-established way, and there are no obvious weaknesses for the enemy to take advantage of, but we are going to cross the Alps, where there is snow, and the temperature will be colder, I wonder if Your Majesty and the ministers have taken this aspect into account and arranged warm clothes?" ”

After hearing this, Charles VIII smiled and said to Angus: "Don't worry, old general, these ministers have already thought through and arranged warm clothes, and are now in the logistics camp. Angus heard that this had been arranged, and he had no other doubts at the moment, so he said no more.

The next day, the French army made all preparations for the expedition, and under the order of Charles VIII, they set out from the village, and an army of tens of thousands of people set out in a huge manner. Ryan led 10,000 cavalry to take the lead and left, and then the main battalion of the Chinese army also began to move slowly. After the departure of the Chinese army, the rear army logistics army began to set off under the escort of the archer corps, and the army was divided into three parts, and according to the previous plan, went straight to Naples.

The French army began to march all the way, and after a long time, finally reached the Alps. The cavalry corps was the first to encounter it, but their cavalry relied on their horses and did not pay much attention to the cold, and whistled directly, and rushed across the Alps, and first went to the other side of the mountain to wait for the arrival of the main army, and sent scouts to reconnoitre.

It took a long time for the French camp to slowly reach the Alps, and before they arrived, and sent the 3,000 cavalry who remained behind to the rear camp to get warm clothes and put them on, but even so, their Chinese camp had no horses to use as foot strength, and could only move forward slowly, enduring the tyrannical cold wind.

By the time the logistical army reached the Alps, it was obviously more difficult to get through, because they were carrying a lot of rations, a lot of weapons, and those mobile artillery mounts, which were obviously much more difficult to cross the Alps.

Ryan, who was in charge of protecting the logistics corps in the rear battalion, walked slowly, and saw a group of people standing on the road in front of him, and it was King Charles VIII of France and his personal guard. Ryan was taken aback, hurriedly walked a few steps, ran to Charles VIII's side, and asked respectfully, "Your Majesty, why are you still staying here and not following the Chinese army camp through the Alps?" ”

Charles VIII smiled softly and said to Ryan: "The logistics camp is related to the life and death of my expeditionary force, and it is obviously not easy for the baggage to pass through the Alps, I am not at ease, so I will stay and command with you, so that the logistics baggage can pass through the Alps smoothly." ”

"I see, Your Majesty has bothered, and your subordinates will do their best to assist Your Majesty and live up to my king's expectations!"

Charles VIII nodded, said no more, and began to seriously direct the logistics through the Alps.

Charles VIII attached great importance to logistical baggage, because it contained the weapons of his beloved artillery unit - artillery and ammunition. These baby bumps, directly related to his expedition is just a joke, or can the world remember, how can he take it lightly!

He first sent a team of ten and dozens of small groups of archers to disperse out to patrol the Alps, and then sent a hundred or so archers to guard the left and right sides of the march just in case, and then began to slowly and orderly let the people carry all kinds of baggage slowly, gradually through the Alps.

In the end, it took a long time and a lot of effort for Charles VIII to transport all the logistical baggage out of the Alps unharmed. When this was finally done, Charles VIII breathed a sigh of relief, and he knew that he had already succeeded half of this expedition, and that the next thing was that when he led the mighty French army in Naples, Italy, he would impress and even fear the Italians.

At this time, Ryan also happened to run up and pat his ass: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, you have successfully transported the baggage out of the Alps safe and sound, and then it is time for Your Majesty to act majestic!" ”

Charles VIII laughed, obviously being hit by Ryan's heart, and happily complimented Ryan a few words, and immediately hurried to the Chinese army camp with his personal guards.

After passing through the Alps, the rest was almost uneventful, and the French army marched unusually smoothly towards Naples. The Advance Knights strive to fulfill their duties, and while being the vanguard, they are also responsible for finding paths and clearing obstacles. However, to the slight surprise of the French generals and the French king, they had moved so much and had come so close to Italy after such a long journey, and had not encountered any Italian troops on the road, nor did they see any Italian scouts. This made the commander of the cavalry corps, Ryan, very depressed, and he was full of energy, wanting to take the lead before the main army came up, and defeat or annihilate one or two enemy armies to open the meat, and then the idea of inviting merit when the main army came up was completely shattered, and along the way, it seemed that they were not going on an expedition, but going on an outing, and the march was so smooth that they were a bit like an illusion in a dream.

Eventually, the forward cavalry crossed the vast buffer zone between the two countries, slowly approached the Italian border, and came to a halt when they reached the foot of a mountain. For, according to the battle plan, if their march was successful, they would eventually build a base camp for their attack here, because it was surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the surrounding area was very steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it would be advantageous for them to take advantage of the battle with the enemy if they were victorious, and retreat to defend it. As long as they have a firm foothold here, then the balance of victory and defeat in this war will be tilted in favor of their side by more than half.

The knight corps is a combat force, and they are not good at camping, so they restrain their troops, gather here and wait for the arrival of the main force, and at the same time send hundreds of scout cavalry, turned into dozens of troops, scattered to reconnoiter in all directions, to prepare for the coming big battle, but also to guard against the sudden attack of the enemy.
