That night, the French first released a group of pigeons and returned to China, and agreed to a secret code - the letter from a certain mark was fake.
Then, the next morning, John Lafite deliberately sent a few pigeon keepers to dress up, standing in the northwest corner of Naples, and first used a cloth strip to simply measure the downwind direction and wind speed, which successfully attracted the attention of the Spaniards.
"What are they doing?" A Spanish patrolman in the northwest direction outside the city was unknown.
But the captain of the patrol who led them changed his face:
"I understand. The man was holding a pigeon. They were going to release the pigeon later! Hurry up, go to the camp to call a few sharpshooters over!"
Then, within half an hour, the Spanish sent a team of soldiers from powerful hunters who were good at archery or shooting, carrying crossbows and mesh guns, ambushed at the city in the northwest corner, and other Spanish soldiers were in the middle to cover them.
About an hour later, two people dressed as carrier pigeons came to the northwest corner of the city and each released a carrier pigeon...
"Bang-Bang-Bang-"
"Swoosh-swoosh-swoosh-swoo-swoo-swoo-swoo-swoo-swoo-swoo-swoo-swoo-swoo-swoo-swoo-swoo-swoo-swoo-swoo-swoo-swoo-swoo-swoo-swoo-swoo-swoo-swoo-swoo-swoo-swoo-swoo
In the Spanish patrol under the city, gunshots and bows sounded at the same time...
In the end, one of the two carrier pigeons made a sharp turn in the air and avoided the blow, while the other carrier pigeon was unfortunately beaten down.
At the same time, a dead soldier set out from the north gate with a letter and was intercepted by the Spanish cavalry halfway. The dead soldier fought to the death and was eventually killed by the Spanish patrol cavalry. A bloody letter was found...
On the gate tower of the north gate, Louis XII saw with his own eyes the brave French light cavalry and 20 Spanish patrol cavalry fighting to the death and were eventually hacked to death by random knives...
"Don't worry, Mr. Descartes, I will keep my promise, and enthrone your son as a knight, and give him a manor!" After Louis XII said in a low voice that he could only hear, he went down from the city gate...
...
Then, two letters were sent to the Spanish Central Army's tent for reference by several Spanish commanders.
However, the letter tied to the legs of the pigeon was unexpectedly - the legs of the pigeon were hit by two lead bullets at the same time, and the letter was broken. The translator could only find a few limited words such as "food" and "collect as soon as possible" from the broken letters.
Another bloody information found from the cavalry Mr. Descartes, the words were vague. It reads:
"Governor Carmeri, the Governor of Provence (a province close to Italy in southwestern France), please contact Paris to collect the 'things' we need as soon as possible and send it to the Italian region. Details are sent to the border between the Pope and Naples. At that time, I will send a large army to support you. Remember, you only have two months, and the latest cannot exceed three months, otherwise something big will happen!"
"It seems that the French are still very cautious. They use carrier pigeons to deliver messages in the sky, and knights to deliver messages on the ground. Moreover, the news on the ground is deliberately not clear, even what the "thing" is, so as not to be intercepted by us."
"I think they are short of food, and they are afraid that we will know. So, I was anxious to notify the country. Well, this information is very important - 'You only have two months, and the latest cannot exceed 3 months'... Um - It seems that the French can only last for three months at most..." One of the five big bosses, a crypto-supporting emperor, thought to himself.
"It seems that it makes sense..." The other four people agreed. After all, the inference given by Emperor Daobu sounded very reasonable...
The next day, it seemed to be to confirm their conjecture. The French released two pigeons again. However, this time, the French deliberately avoided the pigeons placed by the patrol, and the Spanish failed to intercept the information. At the north gate, the French suddenly sent 20 cavalrymen, each carrying a scroll, took advantage of the opportunity of the Spanish patrol cavalry to rush out, flee north, and successfully break out.
"It seems that our inference is correct. Today, the French are desperate to send information. Obviously, they are anxious!" The Emperor of Daobu gave Daobu's inference again.
"Okay, let's wait two or three months, and wait until the French have no food, and then take action to eliminate them. It's best to capture King Louis XII alive!" Another big boss said with longing.
"Catch the French king alive..." Several people fell into YY together, thinking about the future scene of being worshipped by all Spanish monarchs and ministers...
In fact, they didn't know that Louis XII's order was to pretend to raise food in this letter. Then, they put a large amount of mud and sand in sacks and transported them to Italy, deliberately allowing Spanish spies in France to see...
This is also the instructions from Marin to John Rafi. After all, it is easier for the Spanish to believe in the whole show.
Then, as if they were waiting for the French to collapse in food shortage, the five Spanish nobles, as Marin expected, began to capture the military power of this army of tens of thousands of people. Moreover, the problem of many people leading the troops together emerged - all five people wanted to dominate the war. After all, it seemed that Spain had a sure win, as long as the French had no food...
So, the five people began to fight openly and secretly, and began to secretly win over the middle and senior officers of this army to enhance their voice in the army.
As for the French? They ignored it for the time being. As long as they follow the original deployment of Gonzalo de Cordoba and try their best to intercept and encircle, there will be no major problems in the end...
...
At the same time, on the faraway Ireland Island, a war of conquest continues...
The rainy weather in Ireland is not a big deal, and it was fine when it attacked the indigenous territories of the O'Neill family and the Magnis family in the northeast. After all, the northeast belonged to Northern Ireland in later generations, with little rain, and the British army's actions went very smoothly.
The large-caliber artillery members of the artillery battalion provided by Marin successfully blasted open the main city gates of the two families and easily defeated the two troops.
But since then, it has not been so smooth...
The indigenous leaders of other Ireland families saw that the British army was unstoppable from the defeat of the O'Neill family and the Magnis family. So, Fente, the leader of the O'Donnell family, was the first to give up the city, led his elite troops, and hid in the forests and swamps of Ireland with supplies, and began to fight guerrillas with the British army.
The rain in western Ireland is abundant and the climate is warm. Therefore, the forests are dense and swamps are scattered. When Edward personally led a 25,000 army, plus the 2,000 Wicklow territorial troops led by Adler, he easily conquered two small broken cities in the territory (they also gave up on their own initiative), but trying to wipe out Fent's resistance army was very worried...
At the beginning, the army entered the forest and adopted the barbaric strategy of cutting down trees. In just two weeks, Fent's army had nowhere to escape. But when it arrived in the swamp area, the British army was stunned...
The army led by Fant was natives and was naturally familiar with the local swamp areas. Therefore, their wandering resistance army easily bypassed the dangerous swamps and walked freely through the swamp areas.
But the British army was not good, they were not familiar with local swamps. Especially in some hidden swamp edges, these areas seem to have grass on the surface, but if you step on horseback, it will be very easy to fall into it...
Because the British army was not familiar with the local swamps and had absolute advantage in their troops, they were overwhelmed by the swamps and lost some of their troops, and their progress was greatly delayed.
When Gonzalo was transferred in Italy, Edward and his army had just wiped out Fent's resistance army. The reason for the opponent was that Fent's resistance army had consumed all food and was caught by the British when they went to town to replenish supplies...
