Chapter 1048: The 4th Army

Just as 15,000 mountain infantry advanced from the village of Eric to Siena, the soldiers of the Fourth Army, under the command of Saqqara, launched a landing battle along the coast of Grosseto.

However, the landing sites of the Fourth Army and Mountain Infantry Corps are different. The landing point of the Fourth Army is in a larger port near Tarseto-Taramone ...

Taramonet is the estuary of the province of Grosseto and the main estuary of the Republic of Siena. Generally speaking, the imports and exports of the Republic of Siena pass through the port of Taramo, then through the city of Grosseto, and connect the capital of Siena through the only mountain road ...

But this time, because the army of Maximilian I knocked off and attacked Radicofani, all the soldiers and horses of Siena were transferred to the southeast front.

At this time, the soldiers and horses of the province of Grosseto, with only 2,000 mercenaries, were mostly stationed in the city of Grosseto, guarding the only mountain road from Grosseto to Siena. And the soldiers and horses remaining in the inner port of Taramon, there are only more than one hundred people, which is completely decorated ...

Under the powerful attack of the Fourth Army, Taramone ’s port guard quickly defeated and surrendered ...

After capturing Taramone, the army of the Fourth Army began to land slowly, instead of landing in wading like the mountain infantry.

This is because the Talamo Inner Port is sufficient and does not require wading to land. In addition, the mission of the Fourth Army is not in a hurry. Their task is to transport the load to Siena. But Grosseto is only 80 kilometers away from the city of Siena. If it is a normal march, even if it is a mountain road, it will be almost three days. Of course, they must first win the city of Grosseto at the intersection ...

In addition, the Fourth Army ’s occupation of Taramone is also of great significance. Because, as long as the port of Talamo is occupied, it is equal to cutting off the possibility of French reinforcements of Siena by sea. Because Siena ’s main port of contact with the outside world is Taramone. As long as you control this port, you do n’t have to worry about the French sending reinforcements.

It is useless for the algorithmic army to send reinforcements if they land in other areas. Because if they want to drive to Siena, they have to take the only mountain road where Grosseto is located ...

After controlling the port of Taramon, Saqqara left two thousand Frisian sailors to guard the port of Taramon. And he himself, with the main army and the strong men, and the five thousand Frisian sailors, marched towards the city of Grosseto ...

However, Saqqara's behavior is very strange. He first let the five thousand main force and five thousand Frisian sailors **** the weight and the grass to walk slowly behind. Then, he personally led the five thousand main force lightly into battle and walked around the city of Grosseto The deputy was going to sneak attack on the city of Siena, completely ignoring the 2000 defenders in the city ...

Siena, General Siena, who guarded the city of Grosseto, was foggy, but Pinayati was very cautious. Although, he was very worried that this army would lose the attack on Siena. However, he did not dare to rush out of town to pursue. Because he has fewer soldiers and can't beat the opponent. After all, he had only 2,000 people, and the enemy army passing under his eyelids had 5,000 people ...

For security reasons, he first sent people to reconnaissance in the direction of Taramonet. However, all the spies he sent were intercepted. The spies sent to the northeast paid off-the enemy had no signs of staying at all, and seemed to rush to Siena ...

After much consideration, Pinayati determined that the 5,000 horses had attacked Siena. Moreover, the other party does not worry about sending someone to report. Because, to Siena is such a mountain road ...

Although no information came back from the southwest, Pinayati couldn't care about that much at the moment. If the city of Siena is really unprepared to be attacked by surprise, the Republic of Siena is over.

So he made up his mind to open the city gate with 2,000 mercenaries and chased northeast. As for the city of Grosseto, he arranged for the Zhuang in the city to take charge of the defense ... If something went wrong, he could also send cavalry to catch up and inform himself ... Although the Zhuang were poor in combat, they rushed back in their army There is nothing wrong with staying for two or three days before aid ...

In this way, General Pinayati, with two thousand soldiers, chased the army of Saqqara ...

But he didn't expect that the spies of Grosseto had already been monitored by the Scouts of the Fourth Army. The gap between the spies on both sides lies in the fact that the Scouts of the Fourth Army have telescopes, while the spies of Grosseto observe with the naked eye ...

So, soon after General Pinayati chased out with two thousand mercenaries, Saqqara got the news ...

Then, Saqqara was on the mountain road, learning the original Marin, and deliberately set up an ambush ...

As a result, it was natural to rescue the eager General Pinayati in an ambush ...

In fact, Pinayati is still more cautious. While chasing, he constantly sent cavalry to scout ahead. But the whereabouts of his scouts have long been exposed to the scouts of the Fourth Army Corps with the help of telescopes.

Then, Saqqara set up a bureau-Saqqara personally led three thousand men to ambush on the slopes on both sides at night, but erased the traces of ambush. And the remaining two thousand people continue to march toward the northeast with great fanfare ...

The mountain road is narrow and there is only one road. The scouts sent by Pinayati could not judge how many enemies there were on the mountain road ahead, so he reported that the enemies were still desperately rushing forward ...

Then, unlucky General Pinayati took his men into the ambush circle ...

When General Pinayati took two thousand soldiers into the ambush circle, for a time, on the hillsides on both sides of the road, rolling stones and arrows could not help falling, causing the Siena army lacking armor protection to cry and cry. Armor can't catch the mountain road) ...

In just over an hour, Pinayati ’s two thousand Siena army collapsed and began to flee in the direction of Grosseto ...

And Saqqara ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ also hurriedly took the army to chase after him. But what Pinayati did n’t know was that halfway through, there was a team of men in tattered Italian costumes (simulated as ruined soldiers), and they also mixed into the ruined Siena army ...

Because Saqqara chased tightly, Pinayati was too late to stop and count the broken soldiers, so he could only flee with the broken soldiers until he retreated into the city of Grosseto ...

But Pinayatti was not relieved, and before dinner, Sakala ’s army was killed in the city of Grosseto-it turns out that dozens of Fourth Legion fighters mixed in with Pinayati ’s collapsed soldiers took advantage of At dinner time, they gathered together, snatched the gate to the northeast of the city of Grosseto, and put the army of Saqqara into the city ...

That night, General Pinayati and hundreds of soldiers under his command became captives of Saqqara. And the next morning, another five thousand soldiers and strong men of the Fourth Legion escorted the grain to the southwest gate of Grosseto ...

At this point, the Fourth Army completely controlled the only important road from the Republic of Siena to the southwestern coast. At the same time, it also cut off the possibility of the Republic of Siena receiving assistance from the outside world (it is also impossible to the north of the city of Siena. Although the Francina Avenue leads to Florence, Florence and Siena are dead enemies, and they are still in Under the control of the Holy See) ...
