The news from the front came as a great shock to the ruler of Monte San Giovanni. Such a result is difficult for them to accept. They were prepared, ambushed halfway, killed the French army by surprise, and occupied such an advantage and were beaten by the French army all over the ground to find their teeth, which is really shocking. This made them clearly realize that the French army had an all-round advantage over them, not only in artillery, but also in the overall combat effectiveness, war skills and equipment of the French army.

Monte San Giovanni City Lord Monlay said in a deep voice: "Since we have ambushed the French army halfway, according to the style of the French army, once they attack the city, it is absolutely impossible to let us go, and I am afraid that the people of the entire city will suffer at that time!" We can't just sit in the city and wait for death! Let's think of a way to resist the French invasion, or I think we will all die in the city! ”

Jerry, the first general in the city, also responded: "Yes, the French army is now strong and morale, and at this moment when all the great cities of Italy have surrendered without a fight, we dare to ambush them with our beards, and once they attack the city, they will redouble their revenge on us, and then we will suffer a terrible disaster." In my opinion, although the rest of the French soldiers are also very strong, but the biggest weapon that really makes the French army invincible is its advanced artillery and skilled artillery. ”

The city lord's eyes lit up, and he felt that Jerry was very reasonable, so he immediately said, "That's right! It is true that we cannot compete with the French in a field battle, but as long as we paralyze their artillery units, then the French army will be like a tiger with its teeth knocked out, although the residual power is still there, but the momentum will be immediately contained! Let's figure out how to paralyze their artillery units! Let's count all the troops we still have in the city, and then plan well to resist the seemingly unstoppable French onslaught. ”

So Monlay and Jerry and the rest of the advisers and generals got together to discuss how to knock out the tiger's teeth of the French army, and planned there for a long time before stopping. They have already decided that they will desperately resist the aggression of the French army and cannot let the French army do whatever they want!

Since the last attack, Charles VIII has not continued to run forward, and his generals no longer allow their great French king to take risks, and Charles VIII obediently walked slowly in the Chinese army camp all the way. They had learned their lesson this time, and instead of rushing and striking along the way, they first released scouts and carried out reconnaissance, and only after making sure that there was no more danger on the road did they let the army pass, reverting to the cautious posture they had taken when they had just begun their expedition.

After arranging for a large army to dig trenches and build walls, Charles VIII consulted with his generals about the next day's itinerary, and then went to bed early. During this time, he had been marching and fighting, so it was indeed very hard, and as soon as he lay down in bed, he cried loudly and slept soundly.

In a trance, Charles VIII heard a strange sound, as if someone was making noise, making noise, which made Charles VIII, who had been marching and fighting, suddenly wake up, and saw that the sky was still very dark, it was still the middle of the night, but the noise in his ears was so clear, what was going on? Charles VIII immediately put on his coat, took the sword hanging next to him in his hand, and then ran out of the tent and asked the people next to him what had happened.

The guard next to him was also at a loss, and replied to Charles VIII: "Your Majesty, it seems that the sound is coming from the artillery barracks, but no one has come to report the specific matter for the time being." ”

When Charles VIII heard this, he stopped talking, and was about to go to the main camp at once, and there should be a general who would go there to report the news to him after knowing the news. However, Charles VIII has not yet moved, he saw the fire not far away, and he could see that a group of soldiers escorted a group of people over, Charles VIII saw this situation, there was no sign of turmoil in the surrounding tents, and the shouting of killing gradually disappeared, so he knew that his troops were in control of the situation, so he no longer hurried to go to the Chinese army's tent and wait for the news, just stood in place, waiting for the group of soldiers to escort people over. When they got closer, they slowly saw that the clothes of the soldiers who were being escorted were different from the uniforms of the French army. Their costumes were varied and messy, and they seemed to know that they were Neapolitans, and Charles VIII guessed seven or eight points at once.

At this time, I saw Angus leading the way with the group of soldiers escorting people to him, and then said to Charles VIII respectfully: "Your Majesty, just now this group of people, taking advantage of the darkness of the sky, is going to come in and steal the camp, fortunately we have been much more cautious after the last loss, this time they did not take any advantage and were caught by us." ”

Charles VIII was taken aback when he heard this, and when he saw that it was Angus who had come to report, he guessed that they had come to attack the artillery barracks, and if they had accidentally let them succeed, then their expedition would have come to an end completely. Whether the artillery was killed or wounded or the artillery and ammunition were destroyed in large numbers, their artillery units would no longer be able to break through the walls with artillery, and they would no longer have the fangs to continue to fight in Italy, so they would have to run back to France in disgrace.

Charles VIII knew the seriousness of the matter, and asked Angus to report the night attack to him in detail.

Angus said: "That night, after marching so late as before, and very tired, after arranging the necessary guards and arranging the defenses against the enemy by night, my old bones were exhausted, and I rested early. After Angus said this, he glanced at Charles VIII and gathered his thoughts before continuing.

After hearing this, Charles VIII also expressed his understanding, he himself felt very tired, and he also went to bed early, and marching and fighting was indeed a very physically exhausting thing.

"I was halfway asleep, when I was suddenly awakened by a shout, and I realized that the enemy had come to attack the camp in the night, so I immediately ordered the soldiers around me to wake up the soldiers in the surrounding camps, not to wear armor, and the most important thing was to prepare the weapons first, so that I could better fight the enemy. Immediately after that, I ran with my guards to the camp where I usually gave orders, and sounded the gong, so that the surrounding soldiers could slowly concentrate on me in the confusion. However, the soldiers in the chaos could only protect themselves, and it was the night patrol that the King had arranged before that really saved tonight's crisis. As soon as they knew that the enemy was coming, they immediately took action, some of them went to the weapons and ammunition depot to take care of their weapons, and the other part immediately entangled the enemy and fought the enemy to buy time for the assembly of large forces. The enemy came in from the side, all of them with small arms and no armor, so when our side gathered superior forces, they had no chance to be wiped out by us, and now all but those who were killed by us on the spot are here. ”

When the king heard this, he also broke out in a cold sweat, thinking that if he hadn't prepared for early warning before, and let the enemy touch the ammunition depot in the chaos, they wouldn't need to fight to the death with the French army, as long as the tent was burned with a fluttering fire, then their artillery unit would be immediately invalidated.

After being frightened, Charles VIII was furious, looked at the Neapolitan sneak attackers with a blue face, and asked, "Who sent you?" Such a bold man, he actually rushed to attack the camp of our French army! What a sin deserves death! ”

At this time, a leader-like person on the opposite side snorted and said fiercely: "You invaders, since you came in, how many people in my Italy have suffered great disasters and humiliation, how have you ever treated us as human beings, after you have come in, you have given us what you wanted, and how many people have been broken up because of your wife, your family has been ruined, and the evil things you have done are too numerous to mention, and you have committed so many horrific and heinous crimes, why don't we dare to kill you?" If you are caught, it is only a death, and our Neapolitan is under your obscenity, and we are almost like death! You devils, sooner or later God will come and clean you up, and your retribution will soon come! Hahaha......"

Charles VIII was so choked by him that he couldn't say a word, and his whole body trembled with anger, and he stared at the Neapolitan viciously, and after his anger was over, he suddenly showed a bright smile on his face, and he said to the Neapolitan with a cruel smile: "You can still have a hard mouth, very good!" It's up to you to see you under hell that after you Monte San Giovanni were broken by me, and all the people of the city were slaughtered, you can still be so stubborn! Don't think I don't know, no one in the whole of Italy dares to resist me, only you Monte San Giovanni, some time ago you sent a force to attack us, and now you are sending you to your death! Well, very good, I'm now very much looking forward to the day when Monte San Giovanni will bleed the pestle! After the earth was stained with the blood of you Monte San Giovanni that day, see if you can still be so hard-mouthed! ”

When Charles VIII saw the Neapolitan standing there with a pale face, his pupils constricted, and a look of horror and sorrow, he knew that he was right, so he stopped talking nonsense, waved his hand, and asked the soldiers to take them down and behead them, and no longer pestered them.

"Angus, it seems that this Monlay is going to fight us to the end, we have to be cautious in the future, especially your artillery battalion, which is our strongest and most feared place for the enemy, but it is also the weakest link of our army, once it is taken advantage of by the enemy, the consequences are unimaginable!" Charles VIII gritted his teeth and said, obviously hating Montlay, the ruler of Monte San Giovanni, to the extreme, if he was in front of Charles VIII now, it is estimated that Charles VIII would be able to chew his bones to pieces.

Angus said respectfully: "Your Majesty! What you are extremely worried about is that our artillery battalion really needs to be cautious and vigilant at all times, otherwise we will really lose all the games with one move! I'll give them a good explanation and let them be more vigilant. ”
