This is a turning point that shocked the European countries! Originally, everyone thought that Maximilian I came to Rome with a 20,000 army force to threaten the Pope to crown him. Unexpectedly, in Rome, only because of a word from Pope Julius II, the Austrian army of 20,000 did not say anything, and turned north. And, just to **** a bishop to Siena ...

Not only the representatives of the countries in Rome were stunned, but the people of the Republic of Siena were also dumbfounded. They wished to slay the Colleen pig, but at this time, they must not succumb to the Pope's request. Because, once this was opened, the bishop's right to appoint the Republic of Siena would be returned to the Holy See. This is of secondary importance. The most important thing is that in the future "Tithing Tax" will be nothing for them. Without these taxes, the official government of the Republic of Siena would immediately be in financial distress.

So, despite wishing to kill the fool Colene, the Governor of the Republic of Siena, Pandolf Petrucci, had to stand up at this time to say that the rumor that Bishop Colene cursed the Pope was pure fabrication, Colene The bishop is very well behaved ...

However, Colény was cursing Julius II at an open banquet, and there were many people present. In addition to French diplomats, there are many other businessmen and diplomats from other Italian states. After their propaganda, it is really difficult for the Republic of Siena to refuse ...

...

And just as the Sienas were so entangled, news from the southeastern border made them even more entangled-Maximilian I had already brought 20,000 troops to **** Julio di Giuliano de. Medici's car came to the southeastern border pass on Francesca Avenue-Radicofani ...

At the same time, the Holy See's attitude is quite tough-either accept or fight ...

...

Julius II gave the Republic of Siena three days to consider, but even three years to consider, the Siena people would not be willing to return control of the Siena church to the Holy See. So, three days later, there was no movement in Siena. And the Siena people are also betting-Maximilian I will not really help the Holy See ...

Unfortunately, the Siena estimates were wrong, and the Austrian army of Maximilian I really started ...

Of course, the Austrian army was not attacking Radicofani, but began to shell the raid Kofani ’s pass walls ...

Even so, the Siena were scared to death. Because, although Radicofani has a strong barrier, it can defend only 3,000 people. If Austria's "20,000 elite armies" attacked hard, Radico Falina's 3000 Italian mercenaries would be absolutely unstoppable.

At this time, the French also felt wrong, and began to send people to the mediation of Maximilian I's barracks, hoping that the emperor would give up the attack on Siena.

But Austria and France are dead enemies, and Maximilian I forced the French messenger in one sentence-to return the land of the Principality of Burgundy, I immediately withdrew the troops ...

How can the French messenger agree? Had to go away in vain. The northwestern part of Burgundy is next to southeast Paris, like a sharp knife inserted into the heart of France. Otherwise, France would not take the risk of war to take it here.

Moreover, the luck of France was very good. Because at that time Austria just happened to fight with Hungary ’s Margash I, but also lost the battle, even the old nest Vienna was lost. In desperation, Maximilian I signed the humiliation treaty, recognizing the French occupation of most of the Principality of Burgundy.

...

Seeing that Maximilian I could not be persuaded, the French had no choice but to plan. On the one hand, the French suggested that Siena deploy a large army to support Radicofani. As long as Radicofani, the army that first blocked Maximilian I, was successful. Because the army of Maximilian I was strong, but he was not willing to work hard for the Holy See.

On the other hand, French diplomats in Rome wrote to the country, suggesting that France send troops to support Siena and avoid Siena being captured by the army of Maximilian I.

But what the French did not know was that at the same time, Frensberg, who was far away in Switzerland, also commanded the 10,000-strong army and launched an attack on the defenders composed of the Swiss and the French in western Switzerland. The offensive is fierce ...

In fact, whether it was Maximilian I or Franzberg, their offense was a feint. Of course, in order to be realistic, the momentum was still quite loud, and the shelling was frequent enough. Otherwise, you can't hold people ...

Which of Siena and Switzerland is important to France? This is needless to say. Even if Siena won, it was nothing more than Pope Julius II, who was disgusted with King Louis XII. And Switzerland is really important for France ...

The Swiss region can recruit many powerful Swiss mercenaries to fight for France. However, if the Habsburgs were allowed to occupy the entire Switzerland, then the Habsburgs, who ruled the region, would certainly not allow the locals to fight their enemy, France. Even, the locals will be absorbed by the Habsburg family army ... pros and cons, then France will become weaker, and the enemy Austria will be stronger ... Therefore, the French regard Switzerland as a very important strategic place . Its importance is much higher than that of Siena ...

After all, France does n’t have much hatred for Pope Julius II. Prior to the reign of Charles VIII, Julius II was even an ally with France. It was not until Louis XII came to power and chose to form an alliance with Julius II ’s enemy, Alexander VI, that the relationship between the two parties deteriorated, but it has not reached the point where you will die ...

...

Since the army of Maximilian I began to shell the walls of Radicofani, the Siena people knew that this time things could not be done. So, under desperation, the Siena people began to gather a large army to support Radicofani.

Unexpectedly, the Republic of Siena had fewer than 10,000 standing troops at this time. Among them, the capital Siena City garrison 4000, Radicofani garrison 3000, while the west coast of Grosseto province has less than 3,000 troops.

In order to defend Radicofani, the governor of the Republic of Siena, Pandolph Petroghi, ordered that two thousand people be drawn from the city of Siena and two thousand people from the province of Grosseto to form four thousand people. Reinforcement team to support the Radikofani fortress.

At the same time ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Pandov. Petrucci issued a general mobilization order, requesting the 10,000 militia of the Republic of Siena to gather urgently and concentrate in the direction of Siena City.

This 10,000 militia is not a regular army, but the Siena people are well armed and rich. Therefore, these 10,000 militia farmers gathered from time to time for training. Although these militiamen have relatively ordinary combat effectiveness, they are definitely enough to defend the city. At least, it's much stronger than the untrained pure people.

In the end, the defensive plan of the Republic of Siena is-seven thousand regular troops and five thousand militia defending Radicofani; one thousand regular troops to defend the mountain road leading from Grosseto to Siena; the remaining two thousand The regular army and the 5,000 militia are mainly responsible for guarding the pass of Siena and the north of Siena ...

Of course, these arrangements, Marin did not know. At this time, Marin had arrived in Grosseto. He took a group of men and took a special path before the army went to a hidden hill village a few kilometers west of Siena. There, Marin accumulated a lot of food there.

The army under Marin has just begun to prepare for the final preparation before landing in Grosseto ...
