Five Spanish nobles were awakened and gathered to study countermeasures.
"Oh, damn Frenchmen, they must have hid their troops in the city, otherwise the gate would not have been opened!" Duke Cabrera complained.
The Duke of Domingo looked at him impatiently and blamed him:
"Cabrera, now is not the time to complain, but how should we deal with it? If we don't think of a solution, we will be defeated. Then, all five of us will be done!"
The Duke of Cabrera stopped talking, and then, the five people looked at me, and I looked at you, and they were all helpless. They were all masters of infighting, but when it comes to their talents... they still won't mention them...
However, now is a critical moment of life and death, and the adjutant Francis, who was standing next to him, suddenly became anxious:
"Five sirs, please make a decision as soon as possible! If it is late, the French will come here!"
The Duke of Cabrera said helplessly:
"How to resist? The subordinates reported that the French guys charged in front of them with the bravest French knights, and ordinary infantry were not enemies of one unity at all!"
Francis thought for a while and said:
"Well, we send people to push all the carts over and block the streets and prevent the French from moving forward!"
Count Scudo retorted:
"It's useless. The trolley chariot can only resist the riding knights. If the opponent dismounts and fights in a stairs, you can move the trolley away if you can't rush over!"
Francis said anxiously:
"Even if we can't stop it, we can delay time. Now, we must gather the main force of the army and launch resistance. Otherwise, we will be wiped out!"
The Duke of Domingo nodded at this time and said:
"Okay, this is left to you, Frances. All the trolleys, you retreat to the north street to block the French. In addition, I will give you 1,000 plate armor guards (children of Spanish Knights wearing uncovered plate armor), and 2,000 warhammer soldiers (specially against plate armor). Please make sure to block the French as much as possible!"
Francis looked at the five people sadly, and he knew that he would be in danger of going there. After all, he was facing the most fierce attack from the French. Facing 20,000 French knights, he did not think that the 1,000 Spanish backless armored knights and 2,000 warhammer soldiers could withstand it. Therefore, the possibility of his death in battle was extremely high.
So he said sadly:
"Well, for Spain, there will always be someone to sacrifice. Let me, Francis of the Huesca family, sacrifice for Spain! But before I set off, I would like to invite a few adults, so that I can take care of my son Francis in the future, for the sake of my voluntary death!"
The five Spanish nobles nodded. After all, it was really unkind to let someone die. These days, the nobles were also shameless. It was not until the 18th century that the European nobles began to be shameless. Therefore, out of guilt, they promised to take care of Little Francis in the future. After all, even if they were defeated, they were still great nobles. They could still be in the civil service system. Moreover, these people had very high standards for official battles, otherwise they would not have been able to compete for the opportunity to lead troops.
After no longer having any scruples, Francis took a deep breath, walked out of the Governor's Mansion, came to the chariot battalion on the side of the Governor's Mansion Square, and began to command the soldiers to push the chariots to the North Street. Then, he summoned 1,000 Spanish backless knights and 2,000 warhammers to the intersection of North Street...
...
Coincidentally, the three thousand French knights who rushed in the front were no longer able to fight after a long battle. So the French stopped the attack when they arrived 400 meters away from the Governor's Mansion. After all, it was really hard to bear to fight in a plaque armor weighing dozens of pounds for a long time. If they could fight for such a heavy plate armor, then all countries would be plaque infantry.
Then, a new group of French knights later began to step forward and replace the first batch of French knights who could no longer run...
Taking advantage of the French rotation, Francis was lucky enough to command the Spanish army and complete the defense - a thousand and hundreds of wheeled chariots were pushed into the street and blocked the street. Then, Francis brought 1,000 Spanish backless knights and 2,000 warhammers to the front...
At the same time, some alleys that can be detoured were blocked by Francis's orders. Compared with the wide main street, defense is much simpler than attack. After all, the alleys are narrow and fewer people can pass at one time, which is more conducive to defense.
...
When a new group of French knights were replaced, they were depressed to find that what was greeted was not fighting, but a pile of wheeled chariots...
If you want to rush over, you have to move these wheelbarrows first. But cleaning up garbage is not what the knights do? So, these knights let the infantry behind come forward to clean up...
As time went by, the sky began to light up gradually. When the French infantry cleared the wheelbarrows almost, they were fiercely resisted by the Spanish army led by Francis. On the spot, dozens of French infantry were killed. Then, the French knights replaced and fought fiercely with the Spanish resisters...
Although the French knights had higher martial arts skills, the streets were narrow and the French knights were not able to perform well. In addition, Francis and his Spanish soldiers were ready to die, the battle became extremely fierce.
Francis took the lead and shouted "For Spain!" and "For the King!", and then took the lead in a desperate battle with the French knights. Under his encouragement, a thousand Spanish knights actually burst out with huge energy and fought with three thousand French knights. But because the plate armor had too good protection, there was no major casualties on both sides, but the physical strength was consumed very quickly.
Originally, this was nothing. However, after John Rafi arrived nearby, he let another group of French knights, who were originally exhausted, replace the second group of French knights, who were exhausted, and stand in the same place with the tired Spaniards...
Faced with such a vulgar wheel tactic, Francis and his Spanish knights were extremely aggrieved. They shouted to accuse their opponents of shamelessness. However, John Rafi was not a noble family and did not even understand Latin, so he naturally couldn't understand Francis' accusations. Moreover, even if he could understand, he wouldn't care. He was a businessman and didn't care about honors at all, but only interests and outcomes...
Then, Francis, the 1,000 Spanish Knights he led and the 2,000 Warhammers assisted from the side, were either killed in battle or captured because of his exhaustion.
At the final moment, Francis still shouted:
"For Spain! For the King!"
However, he turned around and found that the square in front of the Governor's Mansion was empty. The five Spanish nobles whom he had high hopes did not send troops to reinforce and resist, but instead led some of the main forces to run away from the south gate...
"Puff--" Francis, who was already covered in wounds, could not bear the blow of being betrayed, spit out a mouthful of old blood, and fell down on his back...
