The Rise of the European Emperor
Chapter 1571: The French-Spanish War ends
What is a pig teammate? The five-person Spanish group perfectly interpreted this image. Francis took the fighter plane that 3,000 of his men bought with their lives, but was wasted by 5 idiots.
Francis and his three thousand men delayed the French for two to three hours! Such a long time was enough for the Spaniards to organize an army and launch a crazy counterattack. After all, no matter how brave the French are, they are restricted in cities with narrow streets. In particular, Francis had the streets blocked so that the French could not outflank them.
In terms of familiarity with the city of Naples, the Spaniards and the French are almost the same. After all, this was originally the territory of the Spaniards. Originally, the French wanted to send a small group of troops to go around the enemy's rear from the side alley. However, it was Francis, who had been stationed in Naples for a long time, who organized the resistance. He is as familiar with the city of Naples as the French who have stayed here for several months. Therefore, the French army was blocked by him for two or three hours, until he and the 3,000 men he led were exhausted.
But what made Francis and the 3,000 warriors he led vomit blood was that instead of taking the opportunity to organize a counterattack, the Spanish 5-member heavenly group took the lead and ran away...
As a result, most of the elite Spanish troops stationed near the Governor's Mansion and the Spanish troops stationed near the South Gate followed the five men and fled from the South Gate.
Then, most of the Spanish soldiers stationed at the east gate and west gate were blocked in the city by the French because they had no time to escape.
As for the Spanish troops near the east and west gates, although they opened the city gates and escaped, it was a pity that the French set up an ambush outside the city gates, and those who escaped were killed or captured.
Only outside the south gate, because it is close to the port of Naples and covered by the artillery fire of Spanish warships nearby, the French did not dare to deploy troops outside the south gate. Although it is raining, the artillery on the upper and lower decks of the battleship will not be damp and will not affect the shelling.
In the end, after Francis died in battle, the five Spanish nobles withdrew from the south gate with only 20,000 people. And the more than 30,000 soldiers in the other three directions either died in battle or were blocked by the French and surrendered...
Fortunately, because the Spanish nobles and upper-middle-class military officers basically live near the Governor's Palace. Therefore, among the Spanish soldiers who escaped this time, many were noble officers, who were also the core strength of the Spanish army. Because, with these officers, the Spaniards can pull up the team again. If these officers were gone, it would be miserable, and it would be difficult to turn things around.
...
However, the French obviously don't want to just let the Spaniards go. In order to completely wipe out the Spanish army, the French sent a large army to hunt down the Spanish remnants under the fire of Spanish warships.
But it is also the Spanish who should not die. At this critical juncture, the rain stopped...
Moreover, coincidentally, nearly half of the army that escaped from the south gate with the five nobles this time were musketeers. Because, the musketeers' camp was originally arranged near the south gate. When the five Spanish nobles fled from the south gate, the musketeers stationed at the south gate naturally followed suit.
Seeing that the French were about to rush up, the rain just stopped. The commander of the musketeers hurriedly ordered the musketeers to take out matchlocks from their rainproof leather bags and light them.
The vanguard of the French finally braved the artillery fire and rushed forward, but they collided with more than 9,000 matchlock guns head-on. Although only a small number of people completed the loading, two or three thousand muskets fired together, which is definitely enough for the French to drink a pot.
Then, taking advantage of the French being repulsed, the Spaniards took the opportunity to gather their troops and retreat to the southeast of Naples, where the original Spaniard camp was.
The trenches dug there and the earthen walls made of earth are still there, just to defend against the French attack. The French stormed several times, but they were unsuccessful, leaving only thousands of corpses. In desperation, the French had no choice but to retreat for the time being, and returned to the city to participate in the siege and suppression of the Spanish soldiers who were still resisting in the city.
In addition to more than 30,000 soldiers who died in battle or were trapped in the city, more than 30,000 civilians were also captured by the French. The other half of the people are strong, because they can't live in the city, so they are still in Daying. Just in time, they joined the more than 20,000 Spanish remnants who escaped from the city.
However, the fool also knows that after this battle, the Spaniards' siege of Naples completely failed. With the remaining 20,000 Spaniards at present, let alone attacking, it would be good to block the siege of nearly three times the strength of the French in the future.
Therefore, that night, while the French were still besieging and suppressing the Spanish army relying on certain buildings in the city, the five Spanish nobles who controlled 20,000 Spanish remnants made a unanimous decision overnight to retreat overnight...
This time, the 5 people rarely maintained a unity of opinion, and no one raised any objections. Because they have been frightened by the French army...
However, even though they retreated overnight, they were afraid of being discovered and blocked by the French. Therefore, the Spaniards did not board the ship at the Port of Naples outside Naples, but retreated to the port of Salerno, more than ten kilometers south of Naples, where the Spanish army landed. Moreover, the Spanish ships in the port of Naples also left overnight to load soldiers and horses there.
In order to confuse the French, the five Spanish nobles cruelly abandoned 30,000 civilians and a large amount of supplies in the camp, and only let the 20,000 Spanish remnant soldiers take three days of rations, and hurriedly withdrew to Sale overnight. The direction of Port Nou.
The next morning, the French, who had finished clearing the remaining Spanish soldiers in the city, assembled a large army and surrounded the Spanish camp...
As a result, when the French launched a tentative attack, they found that there was no resistance. A group of Spanish peasants hurried out, opened the gate of the camp, and welcomed the French gentlemen in...
"What? You ran away overnight?" The French commander was taken aback, and quickly sent someone to report to Louis XII.
Louis XII was also shocked, and quickly sent an army to chase after him. But when the French felt the port of Salerno, the Spanish army had already boarded and headed for Sicily. On the pier, there were only a few hundred unlucky people who didn't make it to the boat. Because, there are not enough ships...
This escape was hasty and spectacular. The Spaniards used all the boats in the port, including all the small fishing boats of the local residents. Every warship is full of people, not only the deck is full of people, but also the cabin is full of people. Even the mast was full of people, just like the tragic image of Jiang's bald-headed army fleeing the mainland.
When many small boats left the port, the sides of the boats were full of Spanish soldiers. That scene is very similar to the scene where Indians pick up trains in later generations...
In this way, there were still hundreds of unlucky people who did not squeeze into the boat, and were captured by the pursuing French. These people did not resist, and obediently raised their hands in surrender. Because, they know that even resistance is useless, didn't they see that there are tens of thousands of French people? One mouthful of spit is enough to drown them all...
So far, the West-French war, which lasted for more than half a year, finally ended with a complete victory for the French...
