The battle of Fort Mordano soon spread throughout Naples at the speed of the wind. It is estimated that it will not be long before this spreads throughout Italy like a plague. This news is really appalling, it only took 3 hours to collapse the walls of Fort Mordano in a forceful way, originally Naples pinned on this castle to last 30 days, 3 months or even 3 years. Now, the French army is tearing apart Fort Mordano at such an unprecedented speed, which has shocked and panicked the whole country of Naples. If the kings and ministers in the city of Naples still felt that the French army was on the border, then all the cities and castles near Mordano completely felt the cold of their lips and teeth, especially after getting the detailed news of the battle, they were even more afraid that they would be the next to suffer. These French and Swiss were not only extremely powerful in combat and unrivaled in both distance and close combat, but they were also cruel by nature, and the heinous crimes committed after entering Fort Mordano were portrayed by those who had fled, and they looked like complete demonic armies.

The Tuscan lord was very frightened, he heard the whole process of the French invasion in detail, and was completely shocked! You know, the wars he had heard of before often took a whole campaign to attack a city, and often took months to attack. And now, the French army has attacked Fort Mordano so quickly and forcefully in just a few hours, he can't imagine how much destruction it would take to do it, and he can't believe how long his small city can withstand the French army, you know, even a strong fortress like Fort Mordano was easily broken by the French army.

He thought about it for a long time, and finally made what he thought was the smartest move he could make - flee without a fight. His escape this time was different from the flight of the rulers in Fort Mordano, because Fort Mordano fled in a hurry when the situation was still precarious when the city was besieged, and in order to prevent the French from breaking through the city so quickly and then freeing up their hands and feet to capture them, they fled from the city in extreme secrecy. Now, the Tuscan lord decided to abandon the city and flee while the French army was still raging at Fort Mordano, so he told everyone with great fanfare, although his reputation was not good, but he had also heard of the brutality of the French army in Fort Mordano, so he wanted to give his people a way to live, and did not want them to die in vain. He himself hastily prepared to flee, and did not stop the fleeing people and soldiers from spreading the terror and cruelty of the French army in the city, and had no intention of hiding his intention to abandon the city, so that all the people of Tuscany knew that their lord was about to flee.

So the whole city of Tuscany panicked and frightened. They had heard many legends about the cruelty and viciousness of the French army, heard of the terrible crimes they had committed at Fort Moldano, and now they had heard rumors that the city would abandon the city and flee, how could they dare to stay in the city! So all the people with the old and the young, all of them became refugees, and before the lord of the city could escape from the city, people began to flee.

When the Tuscan lord officially embarked on his escape, all the Tuscan people were truly defeated, and they scrambled to flee with the lord and embarked on a difficult escape.

A series of front-line fortresses in the surrounding area were all moved, and they either began to flee, or began to think about how to contact the French army and surrender to the French army. In this way, after the French army broke through Fort Mordano, before the next move began, the surrounding fortresses opened their doors to the French army without realizing it. Because, the artillery of the French army is really a nightmare for the Italians, no one is confident that they can withstand such a fierce bombardment of the French army, and their combat troops do not dare to confront the French army head-on, whether it is the Swiss spearmen hired by the French army, or their own noble knights, or those well-trained elite crossbowmen, are far from being able to fight against the defenders of Naples who have not been in battle for a long time, and those mercenaries have also confirmed that they can only play games with each other, Once faced with a French army as fierce and cruel and decisive as a demon, it was almost powerless to resist.

Charles VIII had his troops spend the whole day in the city, appreciating them for their journey from France, across the Alps, and all the way to Naples for their war of conquest.

A day later, Charles VIII finally ordered the army to regroup, regroup, and plan to attack the city again.

Charles VIII and several apparently merry commanders gathered in the main tent to discuss the next military move. Charles VIII didn't want to care so much about the affairs of several generals, he thought that it was the spoils of the powerful French army's conquest of Naples, so he also allowed these generals to vent during the war. As for Charles VIII himself, in the harem, delicate women can't enjoy it, and he is not very interested in committing violence in other countries' territories.

Charles VIII looked at the generals calmly and said: "You were happy yesterday, and now you have to work hard, but you can't be discouraged, as long as we continue to win, the whole property and women of Naples will be ours!" ”

The generals all proudly replied loudly and obediently, and then happily quieted down, seriously discussing military affairs, looking forward to the next great victory.

Charles VIII said: "This time, how are our battle losses? ”

Angus replied: "Hardly, some of the injuries were also accidentally wounded in the street fighting, I didn't expect the Neapolitan army to be so vulnerable!" ”

Charles VIII: "The mercenaries in Italy are indeed very weak, let alone the local defenders, as long as we are careful, not to mention Naples, even the rest of the Italian states, sooner or later they will prostrate at our feet." ”

When several high-ranking commanders heard this, they all became excited, and they all showed eager looks, just waiting for the Dharma King to give the order, and then they went to do a big job.

"Okay, let's let the cavalry open the way first, go to explore the way, be careful not to be ambushed by the enemy, we will first take down the following fortresses, and then we can attack Florence, the larger of the Italian states. There are a lot of treasures there, and no matter how much you loot the fortresses on this frontline, you can't find anything! Charlie said.

Next, the French rested at Fort Mordano for a few days, and waited until the soldiers had cultivated enough before proceeding to the next conquest. They sent their cavalry out to attack everywhere, probing everywhere, intending to attack the Tuscan city first. But when their scouts arrived in Tuscany, a very strange phenomenon occurred, the cavalry were a little confused by the strange scene, and they could not figure out what was going on, and they all rode silently, staring blankly at the crystalline fortress. Yes, it was silence, and they saw the city of Tuscany with its gates wide open, and it looked so deserted that it seemed that not even a single figure could be seen. In the end, they dared to run in to investigate, only to learn that the entire fortress had run away, leaving only an empty city for them, so the scouting riders returned with Pegasus.

After Charles VIII got the news, he immediately asked Ryan to send a few more ways to check on other fortresses, and finally found that these fortresses were all at his fingertips, either running clean or surrendering with a white flag in the fortress, which made Charles VIII very excited, after all, this can speed up the conquest, and it can also save a lot of ammunition.

When Charles VIII easily acquired a series of front-line fortresses, the Florentine ruler Pirlo. Morality. Medici finally panicked. He looked at the nobles below with a grim face, and wanted to shout next to their ears and ask, "Usually very majestic, why have they all become dumb now?" Pirlo was so frightened that he forgot that he was usually more imposing than these nobles, and that he was now completely dumb and helpless. He asked the noble ministers aloud what they were going to do, but there was no reply.

"What's the matter, can't you think of a single solution, the Dharma King is menacing, you know at a glance that you can't be good, if you can't come up with a foolproof plan before they arrive, all of us here will suffer! But don't forget that in Castel Mordano, those who suffered the most were the nobles and the rich! ”

However, several nobles were babbling their ideas below, but none of them were feasible, and Pirlo could only watch them angrily and panicked, and there was nothing he could do.

As time passed, the French army advanced faster and faster, and got closer and closer to Florence, and Pirlo felt that death was getting closer and closer to him, as if he saw death coming from a distance, smiling and galloping towards him, to kill him, to arrest his wife and daughter, to send all the men in his family to hell. Pirlo's spirit became more and more tense day by day, and sometimes he even lost his temper for no reason, angered the innocent, and countless small mistakes were made or even no mistakes at all, just because Pirlo did not like the slave maids who were angry and punished, or even killed.

Finally, hearing the news that the French army was about to begin the siege of the city, Pirlo seemed to be an ant on a hot pot, unable to sit down any longer, and after consulting the nobles and ministers countless times as to how they could defend themselves against the enemy, Pirlo made the greatest determination and made a decision that surprised everyone. Pirlo decided to surrender the whole country to the French king, and without any resistance, he let the French king enter the country and take over Florence. He hoped that such a decision would allow the French king to treat him favorably, or at least to preserve his wealth for the rest of his life, rather than brutally murdering the French army after desperately resisting but unable to prevent the French army from capturing Florence and entering the city, and he also hoped that it would save his family.
