Although many mercenaries and local defenders had a sense of security under the protection of the city walls, there was still a deep chill in their hearts, and they were all concerned about the latest developments.

It's no wonder that they, they haven't experienced such a cruel and bloody scene for too long, in one battle, they actually annihilated an entire elite mercenary group, and not a single one was left! How can this not make them feel cold, how can it not make them afraid? Now in their hearts, the French army outside the city is all the embodiment of demons, they are cruel and ruthless, murderous and powerful!

In the spread of the grapevine, it is said that the soldiers who happened to be standing on the city wall at that time and witnessed the brutal killing process of the French army saw a lot of scenes that were not what should be in the world, those French soldiers usually looked like people, but once they were killed, they all turned back into demon bodies! The knights were not horses, but hellhounds, and all of them were scythe-wielding grim reapers. Those spearmen, all turned into skeletons, biting people when they saw them, and sucking blood whenever they saw them, and those long-range archers also shot not bows and arrows, but stingers from the bodies of demonic beasts covered with barbs. Of course, these are gossip after all, and a slightly smarter soldier knows that the soldier who said this is scared stupid, so he will make up such an unbelievable picture in his own brain. However, after all, the strength of the French army is real, and it is also a fact that an entire elite mercenary group was slaughtered, so these legends spread in a short period of time, making the soldiers even more afraid of the French army.

At this time, several mercenary leaders deliberately bypassed the local defender leader and gathered together to discuss the next arrangements.

An old mercenary leader was the first to speak: "What the fuck is this called! I thought I had a good errand and could make a steady profit, but who knew that I had met such a group of crazy people! Or a madman with such a strong fighting power! Even if we have the protection of the city walls here, it is still unclear whether these lunatics will be breached if they attack the city, but I dare say that our troops will definitely be killed and wounded! The loss at that time is definitely not something we can afford! It is very likely that this loss will make our strength plummet into a third-rate mercenary group in Naples! ”

Another tall commander nodded, gave the old commander affirmation, and then continued: "That's true, I didn't expect it to be such a difficult bone to gnaw at the time, and Naples gave us such a small commission, which is simply a loss-making transaction, and the gains outweigh the losses!" ”

The old mercenary leader sniffed, eased the panic in his heart, and said: "This errand, we can't just dismantle the defense, this will cause too much damage to our reputation, we should have a good talk with the Naples master, no matter what, we have to make up for all the losses caused by the defense of the city, even if it doesn't make money, but we can't post it upside down like this!" ”

"Humph!" At this time, the middle-aged commander who was standing on the city wall with the young commander snorted coldly, wanting to sneer, but he couldn't laugh: "You individuals, you are still here to care about what losses and compensation, looking at the army like this, it is very likely that after the city is breached, you and I will all become ghosts under the sword!" And I have no doubts about the combat strength of the Guanjun army, whether they can break through the city! Surely it will be possible to attack in a short time, maybe a few days, and then you and I will all go to hell, and then use our souls to bargain with the king of Naples? ”

When the rest of the commanders heard this, they all changed color, and they couldn't imagine that someone would say such an alarmist remark, so some people shouted angrily: "What do you mean! Misleading the public here, could it be a spy sent by the French army? They just didn't pay attention to honor, they attacked the mercenary leader, and then took the opportunity to cover up and kill, although they are also very powerful, but I am afraid that they are not strong enough to capture Fort Mordano in a few days! ”

The middle-aged leader was not annoyed, he stared directly at the person who spoke up, and asked, "Do you know what kind of unit the spear-wielding soldiers were the first to come into contact with the defeated mercenary group?" ”

Seeing that several commanders were looking at him blankly, he didn't sell it: "Those spearmen are not the native French army, they are hired Swiss spearmen!" ”

Suddenly, a large gasp appeared in the council hall, and they didn't expect that it was actually a Swiss spearman! The cruelty, murderous and strength of the Swiss spearmen are known throughout the continent! All the troops who have fought with them will be frightened by them, so when the several mercenary commanders heard such a thunderbolt news, they were all a little stupid, and they didn't know how to negotiate it. Suddenly, there was silence in the council hall, which was extremely strange.

Even if it has the protection of the city wall, but the other side is not a cat or dog troops, it is the Swiss spearmen, they are coming to attack the city, so in a few days, it is indeed very likely that they will be captured! By then, they will have no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the earth!

The elder mercenary leader blushed, looked at the middle-aged commander gloomily, and asked, "It's actually a Swiss spearman!" Then what do you mean by saying it at this time, and what is the way to defeat the enemy? ”

The middle-aged commander and the young commander who had stood on the city wall with him before looked at each other, his expression was solemn, and he said in a low tone: "I said it at this time, because I was thinking of the incense of our mercenaries, and I want to inform you to go and arrange a retreat now, don't be served by this group of French demons at that time!" At this point, I won't delay any longer, so I'll leave first, and I will leave a large number of garrison troops, but we must go back and lay out the retreat first, and prepare for the worst! ”

After speaking, they shook their eyes at the young commander, and then walked out of the council hall with the young commander, they had to arrange a retreat, because from the situation of the French army they observed, the strength of the French army was far beyond their imagination, and even their intuition felt that the French army was still hiding something fatal that was not revealed, because they saw a group of soldiers in strange costumes who were constantly observing and measuring on the battlefield, and they were wearing neither ordinary military uniforms nor the clothes of serving farmers, This makes them have a very bad premonition in their hearts, so go back a moment earlier to make arrangements, so that they can rest assured a moment earlier.

The rest of the commanders heard the news of the Swiss spearmen, and although they were very much in favor of arranging a retreat so as not to lose their lives here, they felt that it would be a few days later, and it would definitely not happen at this moment, so they did not rush back to arrange a retreat, but continued to gather together to discuss bargaining and how to reduce the casualties of their own troops.

The French army won the first battle and won such a huge victory, which naturally boosted their morale, and they were all full of self-confidence, and planned to show their strength and play majestic in the future.

However, these were just the thoughts of those soldiers, and for the people at the top, they had already foreseen this ending, and they were not too excited.

On the second day, Charles VIII asked Angus: "Angus, how is it, after these two days of preparation, are you optimistic about where is the most suitable place to place our cannons in front of the castle?" ”

Angus's eyes flashed with a compelling brilliance, for this day, in order to make this artillery unit of his famous on the mainland, he had waited for this day for too long, and immediately replied without hesitation: "Your Majesty, the minister is completely ready, and has found the best position for shelling, and the minister promises His Majesty that as long as the rest of His Majesty's melee and medium-range shooting corps are ready, then we can enter Fort Mordano to sleep tonight!" ”

Charles VIII nodded with satisfaction, turned his head to look at the rest of the commanders, and said: "You have all heard, after the artillery unit has destroyed the city wall, you will have to prepare for a brutal street battle, and you must go all out to prepare!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The rest of the Commanders replied.

In fact, although the rest of the commanders also knew what would happen sooner or later when the city wall was breached, after all, they only saw Angus training every day, and they didn't really see the artillery unit blasting through the city wall, so they didn't know how many days it would take to attack the city, but Angus's answer to Charlie's words really surprised their hearts, and they said that it was not so exaggerated that they would actually blast through the thick walls of Fort Mordano in a few hours!

Among them, the most unconvinced is the commander of the most proud and glorious knights on the European continent, Lane, who once commanded the wind on the road, once the strongest attack and the strongest defense legion, today it has been reduced to the point where he can only pick up cheap to pursue the remnants of the enemy, and what artillery unit should cooperate with to break through the city wall and kill into the city, which is really unacceptable to him. In his mind, it should be that the other party should also send a glorious knight order to have a face-to-face fight with him, and if he loses, just raise the flag and surrender!

Thinking like this in his heart, he was very unkind to the artillery unit outside of his words, and he said very angrily: "This Angus is so angry, although the artillery bombardment of the wall is indeed very powerful, but in just a few hours he wants to blast the enemy's city wall, he can't help but think too highly of himself!" ”

The other commanders didn't have as much of a displeasure as he did, so they didn't talk to him. Although they still have some doubts in their hearts about breaking the enemy in a few hours, they are not completely unconvinced, because they usually watch artillery drills and know the horror of artillery.

Ryan saw the cold scene, so he had to come out to play the round, and said with a smile: "Okay or not, it's clear to see the actual combat operation of old Angus today, and there is no need to guess now, now let's go to dinner, and fight this afternoon." ”

After dinner in the afternoon, the French logistics battalion began to move, only to see that under the command of Angus, the mobile artillery mounts moved quickly to the front line under the drag of horses, and at the same time, there were many people leading horses, dragging boxes of ammunition to the front line, Angus arranged at least a quarter of the ammunition to go to the front line, he planned to take down Fort Mordano in one go, so that the whole continent did not dare to face the French artillery units from now on, so he replied to Charles VIII at noon, boasting of such a sea mouth!
