The next day, when the French army got up, they began to prepare for the siege.

Charles VIII was still standing on the top of the hill, looking at the castle opposite, and several commanders were preparing to attack the city according to the tactical guidelines that had been discussed before.

Suddenly, Charles VIII saw the door of the opposite castle open, and a well-armored army swarmed out of it, standing haphazardly at the gates, and then, under the command of a commander, formed a square battle formation, and then walked slowly towards this side.

Charles VIII was a little taken aback, and felt that this group of people was really bold, and in the case of his own army, they actually dared to take the initiative to open the city gate and come out to provoke, which greatly surprised Charles VIII.

I saw that this unit was also elite, although they needed to reorganize and move forward in unison every once in a while, but from a distance, it was also very powerful, which made people feel endless pressure.

Charles VIII immediately descended the mountain, ready to personally command the elite to annihilate this army, making a good start. When Charles VIII descended the mountain, several commanders were already waiting for him in the big tent of the Chinese army, apparently knowing that Fort Mordano had sent a force to provoke him.

Charles VIII said: "Looking at this situation, it is not possible to use the knight corps to charge the battle for the time being, and when the knight corps comes in handy when they break through their neat ranks and pursue them." Tedler, you lead your Swiss spearmen in a formation and let them know that your Swiss soldiers are not in vain! ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Ryan echoed with Tedler

Charles VIII continued to command: "Tiger, you lead the crossbowmen, set off with the cavalry, go around to the left side of the battlefield, and support the friendly forces on the battlefield. Ryan, you lead the archers and set off with the Swiss Legion, you must first rain arrows on the opponent's position, and you can't let the opponent attack our position at will."

"Yes!" Tiger and Ryan replied.

"Old General Angus, this little bit doesn't need you to be old for the time being, you will first inspect the artillery in the rear today, check the ammunition, don't officially attack the city tomorrow, but it is stuck!"

"Understand, don't worry, Your Majesty!" Angus replied quietly.

"Okay, leave 3,000 cavalry to defend the camp, and arrange the rest, let's surprise our friend Napoli together!" When the generals heard this, they took the command and walked on it.

Tedler led the Swiss pikemen to form a battle formation, and slowly advanced with the archers formed by Ryan, he wanted to teach this damned Neapolitan defender a lesson that he would never forget, and he couldn't tolerate hearing the name of their Swiss soldiers, and how dare to send such a few people out to fight in the field!

The two armies finally approached slowly, and at this time, there was an extremely funny scene!

On Taideler's side, he had made all the preparations and was about to start giving the order to attack, when he suddenly saw the enemy army in front of him slowly split into two columns, and then a freshly dressed and angry horse, a general in heavy armor, rode out, ran to the front of the two armies, and shouted loudly: "Please come out and declare war!" Please, your commanders, come out and declare war! He wondered in his heart, why the other party didn't have any courtesy, and he was about to engage in battle, but he didn't come out to declare war.

On the side of the French army, everyone was blinded, and they never imagined that such a situation would occur! In the eyes of the French army, the commander of a unit is the most important, and they must always stay in the safest place in the army to command, so that the army can exert its due strength, and the opposing generals actually ride horses to the front of the battle as a live target, which they can not imagine.

Ryan also looked at the mercenary leader stupidly, and couldn't react for a while, he waved half of his hand, and wanted to ask his subordinates to shoot the mercenary on the opposite side into a hedgehog, and suddenly such a two hundred and five came out in front of him, which was really unresponsive.

Tedler himself is also a mercenary, he often fights with mercenaries, so he is also very aware of the mercenary between them, he has always been extremely disdainful, thinking: As the so-called capture the thief first captures the king, if the commander of an army easily appears in front of the battle, he will be used as a target to shoot a hedgehog or be surrounded and suppressed by the superior forces sent by the local government, it can only be said that he deserves it. Therefore, he reacted first, knowing that this was the best opportunity to shoot this mercenary leader to death on the spot, and then there was an extremely easy pursuit battle, which could reduce the losses of his own men, why not?

So, with a sinister smile on his face, Tedler walked up to Ryan's side and bit his ear, muttering for a while, and then saw Ryan pull his bow and prepare to shoot an arrow. Tedler had been with Ryan for a while, training the army together in the same barracks, and he knew that Ryan was a sharpshooter, and it would be easy to shoot the mercenary leader at such a distance. Rather than shooting him to death with an arrow, it would obviously be more shocking to let Ryan just shoot him in the head.

I saw Ryan pull the string, his hand tightened, the arrow aimed at the mercenary leader, and then with a whoosh, an arrow flew out. When the mercenary leader heard the sound of the arrow, he chuckled in his heart, and felt that something bad was going to happen, but he had been pampered for many years, and he had long lost the sensitivity and flexibility of his early years, so he could only watch the arrow shoot at a rapid pace towards him, and he only felt a black shadow flash in front of him, and then there was a sharp pain in his head, and he screamed, and sat on his horse and fell backwards.

This time, it's the mercenary on the opposite side who is stupid! Have they ever seen such a battle? Before even the leader of the enemy army had seen him, and before he could start the battle, his own commander was killed by an arrow from the opponent, and he was hit right in the head. With a buzz, the mercenaries' heads buzzed, and then they didn't know who was the first to call out: "Mom, the leader is dead, run away!" "And then all at once the whole army fryed! All of a sudden, they all turned around and ran back, only hating their parents for missing two legs, anxious like a lost dog, busy like a fish that slipped through the net; People pushed people, people squeezed people, and just ran directly in the direction of Fort Mordano.

However, the French had clearly prepared for this situation, and they had to completely annihilate this force in order to deter the enemy troops who were still on the castle. So, Tedler ordered: "Child, throw off your feet and chase after you, kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions!" So a large number of Swiss soldiers did not care about the formation, and chased directly after them, cutting them when they met someone, stabbing them in the back when they saw them, and killing them happily. After Ryan killed the mercenary leader with an arrow, he immediately ordered his subordinate Erlang to fire a volley, piercing the opposite group of soldiers into arrowmen one by one, and then began the pursuit battle.

Ryan, who was next to him, saw that the enemy had been directly defeated here, and with a shout, he led the cavalry to chase desperately, and surrounded the group of mercenaries one by one outside Mordano Castle. Seeing this, Tiger also knew that he was unlucky, and there was nothing to do with him below, so he could only slowly pursue forward, and he didn't want to kill the enemy, so he regarded it as helping the other brother troops to suppress the formation.

That group of mercenaries, they had never seen such a battle before, they always thought that the other side should send an equal number of troops to face to face on the battlefield, and there would be a dragon and tiger battle in the open, and then there would not be many deaths on both sides, and whoever won the battle would be considered to be their own army winning for a while today. They always thought that they were here to participate in the fight, so after the mercenary leader was suddenly shot to death, the incredible contrast suddenly made them frightened and terrified!

When the French army launched a pursuit on all fronts, slaughtering the mercenaries on the field one by one, this group of mercenaries had no last courage, and ran forward desperately, hoping to escape from this hell on earth, and now in their eyes, the ** team behind them is not a force that should exist in the world at all, they are all devils who crawled out of the nine hells, devils who can eat people. Hearing a terrible scream behind him, the mercenaries who were still fleeing for their lives were even more frightened, and some couldn't even run, so they were simply stupid on the spot, just waiting for the moment when the sword would come.

However, no matter how this group of mercenaries escaped, they could not escape, the French would not let them go, they always only had two legs, and the pursuers of them, there were French knight regiments, who walked on four legs.

When the knight regiment rushed to the front of the group of mercenaries who fled to the front, the battle was over for the time being, whether it was stubborn resistance, or desperate running, or surrendering, all of them became ghosts, and all the mercenaries were killed to the point that there was no one left!

"Haha, if Naples relies on such soft-footed shrimp to be in charge of national defense, then we want to capture Naples, it's like a bag!" When Charles VIII saw the good news, he laughed and said to the commanders around him. The surrounding commanders, after winning the battle, rushed back and ran to Charles VIII's side to offer a meritorious service.

"This group of mercenaries in Italy really has nothing to fear, and their native army is even worse, the combat effectiveness is extremely low, Your Majesty captured Naples, it was a very simple matter!" Tedler said something in a rare way. He has been fighting with other mercenaries all year round, so he naturally knows what kind of Italian mercenaries they are.

"Haha...... The Neapolitan army has no combat effectiveness at all, and the only thing they can rely on is their walls and fortresses, but unfortunately, this time we have prepared a bigger surprise for them! Angus, it's your turn to perform! After this shock, it is estimated that they will no longer have the courage to send troops out to fight in the field! Charles VIII said.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister is ready, just wait for tomorrow morning, let the Neapolitans taste what is called true fear!" Angus said with a smile.

Inside Fort Mordano, the commanders of the major mercenaries, the heads of the various local armies, and the local city lords are now sitting in the council hall, looking at each other in great panic.

The lord of the city said, "How can this be! How could the mercenaries sent out be slaughtered in such a short period of time? Didn't they all say that they were my elite mercenaries from Naples? ”

However, after he said this, no one responded, because everyone was shocked, and even frightened, and they couldn't imagine that this French army was so powerful and so ferocious!

Among them, the middle-aged commander who was standing on the city wall before finally eased his mood at this time, and said in a solemn tone: "It seems that we can only defend the city in the castle and fight in the future, and we can't go out to fight with the French army in the field, the difference in strength is too great!" ”

The rest of the people also nodded solemnly speechlessly.
