When Bran entered southern Italy, he divided his forces into seven more teams.

When Bran was in the Knights Templar, he also traveled back and forth from Nanyi to Rome many times, and in addition to him, these Italian counts who followed the war were also familiar with the road.

As the owner of the defenders, Yi'an is also very familiar with the terrain.

The first exchange of fire between the two sides took place in the early morning.

Bran's vanguard raiders were deployed on higher ground, surrounded by forests.

Angbu thought about making meritorious service, but he didn't know that this was the Yi'an army that deliberately let them pass through here and set up a formation here.

On the surface, the terrain is excellent, and you can see the depths of these small forests from above, but there is no water source here, and it is extremely dry.

Yi'an's vanguard also surrounded them, but they didn't want to fight.

Set fire directly into the surrounding forest, and the smoke drifted higher with the wind.

directly forced the vanguard out, and the Yi'an army almost wiped out the vanguard, and Angbu did not make meritorious service, and fled back directly with his life.

From the Angbu formation to the complete rout, it took only three hours.

And the flank team Uller who was in charge of the reception.

Set up a formation in another place where the terrain is flat.

Ambu's remnants were also sheltered by him.

The five hundred flying horsemen of the knight chief Arnold formed an angle with this flank team, waiting for an opportunity to charge.

The flanks arranged Bran's musket team.

During the negotiations, Bran had already brought gunpowder from the territory to reload his three strike forces.

The sun rises in the morning, between 7 and 8 o'clock.

Yi An personally led the main force and launched an attack on this flank.

At that time, there was an early fog, and the musket corps did not play much use, and retreated to the infantry to protect it.

Yi'an's Roman Infantry Corps, as well as the Sicilian Stone-made Lancers, also gained the upper hand.

The pikes forced Arno's riders to be unable to create effective damage.

The entire flank was almost torn apart.

Uller simply gave the order to open fire, also ignoring friendly troops.

This move worked, and the powerful and dense firepower directly repelled the Yi'an infantry.

The first time Yi An encountered this kind of weapon, although he had heard of it before, but when he saw it with his own eyes, he realized that it was different from the enhanced version of the crossbow bolt he imagined, and it was more powerful.

Yi An's hard-working heavy infantry regiment, after just one shot, fell thirty people, and three of the knights who had been with him for many years were killed on the spot.

Yi'an's banner was crushed by the reorganized Arnold cavalry, and the main force retreated to safety.

It was almost noon when the two sides changed formations again.

Three hundred cavalry from Rome joined the fray.

Yi An divided the army into four directions.

Channel the battlefield to a suburb near your castle.

Yi'an's three hundred iron horsemen and war horses were all purchased from the Franks.

Originally, Chai Su wanted to annex Bran after the Battle of Tongxia, but he suddenly suffered a stroke when he didn't think about it.

These horses were left to breed in Rome, and now they are in their second generation, and their blood is mixed with a trace of Frankish dragon and horse blood.

Drought-tolerant can run long distances. It is taller than the average Peninsula horse.

It's nearly noon.

This group of pseudo-dragon horse warrior horses aimed at Bran's team of riders.

Yi'an sat in the center and had 3,000 men under his command, with 4,000 men on the left and right wings.

The two nearest castles, Eagle Owl City and Haisha City, also sent 2,000 people each to support.

Yi An's adopted son, the illegitimate son, also went to the battlefield, each leading a team of 100 people.

Halfway past twelve o'clock, the battle officially began.

Bran went deeper, and the two sides were indistinguishable for a while.

Although Ambu also participated in the war, after the total annihilation of his troops, he was reduced to a logistical guard, and his courage was greatly reduced.

The most struggling is actually under Hilde, the white blade team led by the Seven Generals.

After Arnold's team was overwhelmed by the pseudo-dragoons, they stepped forward to stop the group of dragoons.

At this time, the sun is in the middle of the day, and there is no smoke.

Bran's musketeers shine.

Even Bran took a musket and fired a shot outward, piercing one of the enemy's left shoulders.

"I'll just see how many shots you flesh and blood can take?"

The scene was chaotic, but Bran had no worries, he was confident that the heavens were favored by him.

The Battle of Tongxia was not completed, and it will not be now.

The key to the final victory of this battle fell to the musketeers.

The musketeers were flanked by a phalanx of heavy shields, protected by cavalry.

After this burst of sparks hit, they directly put down all the brave knights under Yi An.

Once you get hit by a fireshot, you will directly lose your ability to fight.

Ian doesn't know how many shots Bran can make?

At about two o'clock, Yi An retreated into the city, but they retreated in an orderly manner, and Bran could not leave anyone behind.

And the 10,000 soldiers sent by Bran to storm the city of Kittai could not defeat the void city guarded by hundreds of people.

Seeing that Yi An's troops began to recruit and replenish from the nearby castle, thousands more were recruited in an instant.

Bran won a small victory, but it was difficult to enter, so he could only lead the army to withdraw.

Yi An was defeated but stood firm and continued to fight with Bran.

Since the surprise attack can't go in, then fight it one city at a time.

Bran retreated to the vicinity of Kittai and let the soldiers rest until about ten o'clock the next morning.

launched a strong attack on the city, but Yi An also followed closely when Bran returned to the army, pressing the troops back and forth to support the city.

Tens of thousands of people on both sides fought again under the city.

More than 4,000 people were disabled in this battle.

Bran's anger was provoked, and he lost his mind and forced the army to attack.

The trebuchet erected directly broke down the city gate, but the Yi'an army's employment wall blocked it.

This is the main battlefield, and Yi'an is not idle in other secondary battlefields.

From north-west of Rome, the Ian used a thousand-man army to cross the mountains north into Milan, where they did not occupy land, but constantly harassed and destroyed the borders of Milan.

To guard the destruction of one man, it is necessary to use three or four people.

Just as Bran's army entered southern Italy, Yi'an was difficult to defend, and Yi'an now has such a long border with Milan, and Milan is also difficult to prevent.

Man cannot be rational forever.

This hot war has raised the anger of both sides and turned into two gamblers who refuse to admit defeat.

In Milan, eight towns were damaged to varying degrees.

On the Ian side of Africa, more than 20 towns were damaged.

Bran discovers that Yi An's control over Nanyi and Rome is far stronger than he thinks.

The call for retreat grew louder and louder in the camp, but after Bran thought about it carefully, Shangluo could not stop.

To the north of the Franks, Heyderian was engaged in an internal war to annex the title of Aquitaine.

The powerful control of the Dukes of France in the era of Bilon Am is now about to be repeated in Heyderian.

This doorbreaker, on the grounds that the Duke of Aquitaine wanted to poison him, launched an arrest, forced the Duke of Aquitaine to rebel, and took advantage of the situation to send troops to annex him.

This is the best time for Brand, and if he misses it, Frank will surely go south from Merlin in the future.

Bran had no intention of retreating, and brought the army back to Kling City.

Announcing to his subordinates, the Milanese soldiers returned in batches to rest, leaving 5,000 men to control the surrounding environment (to monitor the Chinese and Italian princes), and to be ready to go out at any time.

Go back to the backyard first, resolve the territorial conflict, and then command the army south.

Since the land route is impassable, then the sea route will be advanced, and the Seven Martial Seas will attack the sea off Rome.

Before this year passes, Rome will change hands.

Yi'an defeated Bran and declared a great victory internally.

But Bran also played a trade ban.

Africa, which had lost a large part of the hinterland of North Africa, had lost its territory and population, and had to divide its troops to defend Milan.

All of a sudden, people's hearts fluctuated and prices skyrocketed.

Although Milan will also damage its commercial interests, Bran's prestige in Milan is far greater than that of Rome.

Hurting people is often one of the stupidest, but also the most useful.

At this time, the population of the principality under the jurisdiction of Milan was approaching two million, and counting the friendly forces, it was approaching two and a half million.

Already a well-deserved strongest prince on the peninsula, even more powerful than the Grand Duke of Shange back then, Bran had no problem making his grandfather claim to be the king of Milan.

Although he did not defeat Yi'an, he achieved so many favorite lands, and Bran was also known as a big victory internally.

The sergeants he led traveled day and night, and in only twenty days, approached the high court.

When entering the town of Latan, Bran eliminated the disabled, the old and the weak, and held a military parade in the square in the town of Latan, showing his military might.
