King Charles VIII of France, after receiving the surrender of the whole country of Florence, was ecstatic, feeling as if a huge pie had suddenly fallen from the sky and smashed on his head, and the taste was so sweet and delicious. Thus, under the leadership of the French king, the French army occupied the entire territory of Florence without a single soldier. This made the French army very proud and complacent, and only felt that there was no country in the world that could resist the powerful French army, as if the world was no longer defended, and it was easy for the French army to obtain other countries on the mainland.

From King Charles VIII of France, to several senior generals, to the middle and lower level officers below and even every grassroots soldier, the people all felt that France would be invincible from now on, so they started to do things, and they were even more unscrupulous.

Pirlo originally thought that he had taken the initiative to surrender and that Florence should be taken care of, but he didn't expect that the French army would be mad at all, and after entering Florence, they would burn, kill, and plunder all kinds of evil, which was no different from their previous behavior. As the ruler of a country, he took the initiative to surrender, and only received the guarantee of the safety of life and property of the French army, and the slightly beautiful women in his family, whether it was his beautiful concubine, or the young and beautiful princess born to him, or those palace maids who were slightly beautiful, were looted by the French army without landing, and they were captured and taken to the barracks to humiliate themselves.

Pirlo's heart burned with rage, and he was full of strong hatred for the French army, but he knew that the French army was strong at this time, so he did not dare to show the slightest dissatisfaction on his face. He could only wait quietly for the opportunity, he thought in his heart, the French army was so cruel and atrocious, God would definitely punish them, so he quietly waited for that moment to come, and then he would fight back and beat these French people who crawled out of hell back to hell!

The French marched with great speed, and after easily capturing Florence, they immediately occupied Rome, and the military operation went so smoothly that Rome was captured with little respectable resistance. The French army met with slightly decent resistance almost from the expedition only in the initial assault on Fort Mordano. Although there were not many people killed or wounded in that battle, the artillery bombardment for more than three hours still consumed a lot of ammunition, and the subsequent street fighting, there was more or less resistance, but since the artillery broke through the city wall within 3 hours, the surrounding towns almost fled, seeing that the flag of the French army was coming, they either fled or immediately opened the city gate and surrendered, and even the capture of Rome did not encounter any decent resistance, it is conceivable that the French artillery at that time brought the Italians what a huge shock, This completely deprived them of the will to resist, and they retreated almost wherever the French attacked.

After the capture of Rome, the French army immediately began to plan a new campaign, this time Charles VIII prepared to directly capture the largest Italian state, the Kingdom of Naples. Charles VIII cried out in his heart: "Tremble, Italy! Tremble, Europe! "The success of this expedition has made Charles VIII full of confidence, in his eyes, Europe has completely lost the ability to resist him, no country can withstand the attack of the powerful French army, he unified Western Europe, and then led Western Europe to a decisive battle with the Ottoman Empire is not far off!

The French army hurried towards Monte San Giovanni, which would be the last citadel to enter Naples, and after the capture of it, the entry into the city of Naples would be unhindered. The French marched towards Naples in a hurry, leaving only a few troops behind the French. In the minds of the French people, Naples was so weak, they did not dare and could not afford to gather any threatening forces to harass or even cut off the rear route of the French army, they only needed to capture Naples in one go, and then surrender the remaining states, and then turn back and France and Italy together, and bring them into French rule, and turn all the conquered territories into French territory.

Charles VIII rode a tall horse, proudly led the army forward, he followed the French knights at the front galloping, planning to be the first to enter the city of Monte San Giovanni, and also planned to rush to the city of Naples as soon as possible, when he wanted to find Carriet, let her have a good look at the French king who she once looked down on, and now directly commanded the army to conquer Naples and even Italy, he now has a very strong desire to see Carriet's expression at that time, he is very curious, how wonderful Carriet's face will be at that time.

He was halfway through his horse, when suddenly the horse stumbled, and the man rolled straight to the ground, but fortunately he was wearing armor, and it was fine. But his surprise was not trivial, for he found that many of the knights who were with him had also fallen off their horses. Just before he could fully react, he heard an amazing buzzing sound, and Charles VIII, who had been staying in the barracks, naturally knew what it was, it was the sound of someone shooting arrows intensively! Someone is in ambush here! This was the thought that turned in Charles VIII's mind, but before he could take the next step, he felt a huge force next to him pull him back, and then suddenly the front was full of people! It turned out that it was the guards around him who pulled him to the back, and then many guards stood in front of Charles VIII to block the rain of arrows. However, most of the guards around Charles VIII have been trained for a long time, and many of them have actual combat experience or bandit experience in various parts of France, and they were transferred to Charles VIII's side as guards only because of their outstanding force, so this rain of arrows sounds terrifying, but due to the distance, and the bow held by the archer is not a good bow, so most of the guards were only shot and wounded, and did not hurt the vital point, except for one or two unlucky ones, who died on the spot who could not be shot in the face, the rest were only minor injuries.

After the front guards had bought a little time, the army behind finally arrived, and more and more cavalry stood in front of the formation, blocking the rain of arrows, and some squads began to charge directly, killing the enemy who was shooting arrows in the shadows.

On both sides were mountains and oblique cloaks, so the charging cavalry did not please much, and could not catch the enemy's tail at all, but took several arrows themselves.

The Swiss spearmen in the back, along with numerous archers and crossbowmen, had quickened their march after hearing of an ambush ahead, and now they had finally reached the front line. As soon as they arrived, the Swiss soldiers with shields and many archers and crossbowmen strangled the enemy in ambush on the mountain.

The ambush army on the hill is a forward ambush army cobbled together by the defenders of Monte San Giovanni and the rest of the Naples troops, they also know that the French army is strong, and the city wall is no longer their protective charm, they know that they can't hide in the city wall and let the French army bombard their castle with artillery, so they are bold enough to send such an army to ambush the French army here, hoping to kill them by surprise, kill the French army's spirit, if the battle is won, then they dare to go outside the city to fight with the French army, In this way, the greatest weapon of the French army, artillery, could lose its greatest utility.

However, the ideal is beautiful, the reality is the backbone, they are right to think so, this assumption is also very appropriate, they have taken into account the recent series of victories of the French army, they are already fluttering and forgetful, the whole army is very proud, carried away, will not pay much attention to them, the Neapolitan army, so they take advantage of the carelessness of the French army, set up an ambush between these two mountains, it is indeed very successful in strategy. If they had set up an ambush like this when the French army had just entered Italy, it would not have worked at all, because at that time the French army would often send many cavalry scouts to detect the road ahead first, and then the army would pass through one after another, and now the French army is indeed so proud and complacent, that even the most basic detection is completely ignored, which is also caused by the fact that it has been too smooth since the battle of Fort Moldano.

However, they thought of everything and planned everything, but they just forgot the most important point - the gap in the combat strength of the two armies! The morale, training, combat ability, battlefield experience, and combat equipment of their soldiers were not on the same level as the French army at all, and the artillery that could really cause lethal damage to the French army was very heavy and could only be used to defend the city. The Neapolitan troops, after shooting a few rain of arrows, found that almost all the French knights were heavily armored and could not be killed with their bows and arrows, and slowly some soldiers began to retreat, intending to immediately smear the soles of their feet and leave. When more and more French troops came to the front, especially when the French infantry came up, they were completely frightened. They didn't expect at all that they couldn't kill or injure many people when the French army was completely unguarded, and they themselves didn't dare to rush down the mountain to fight with the enemy knights, and in the end they could only shoot arrows desperately, but they couldn't shoot many people. The soldiers of Naples began to panic when they saw the French infantry approaching them step by step, and as soon as they came into contact with the French army, the Neapolitan troops began to be harvested by the French army. When the Neapolitan soldiers saw that this side was not an enemy opponent at all, they immediately panicked, and almost all of them immediately turned around and fled, spreading their feet and running, and once they encountered an obstacle in front of them, whether it was a man or a horse or something else, they immediately went forward with a knife, which made Naples kill many people. The French army was like a stimulant, chasing down the remnants of the defeated army all the way. It's been a long time since they've fought so happily, and they have hardly fought a few serious battles since the capture of Fort Mordano, and this time they were finally able to make their weapons see blood, how to give up easily.

King Charles VIII of France looked at the Neapolitan army fleeing into the distance with a grim face, and his hatred for them rose to the top. Since he invaded Italy, which time has not been smooth sailing, which one has not been the wind and fall, this group of Monte San Giovanni defenders actually dared to ambush the great French army he commanded here, and also made him fall into a, lose face, it is really a great crime, he was extremely angry in his heart, and made up his mind, after breaking through Monte San Giovanni, he would slaughter the whole city to vent his hatred, and also kill chickens to show the other Neapolitans, what would happen to the French king if he dared to resist him!

Charles VIII did not reflect on his arrogance, but was angry because of the other party's resistance, and in fact planted a great hidden danger, which made him suffer in the future.
