In addition to organizing a counterattack group on the city wall, General Ferrucci also mobilized troops from the Consul's Palace. In addition to the original elite guards, there should be other troops rushing over there. As long as there is a strong and organized force that can enter the battlefield

It is a great threat to the Austrians who are in the city and have limited use.

Although General Ferrucci's performance was quite remarkable, the Florentine counterattack did not go smoothly.

Ladislaus's ice storm hit them just as they rushed up, killing more than a dozen people by relying on the magic of precise landing, which wiped out most of the morale of the Florentine soldiers.

This was just the beginning. Odd Kessler's banishment technique sent the fastest wind element at the front back to the wind element plane.

Then Ladislaus and Oded Kessler tore apart a scroll. These two "Ice Cone" scrolls that were part of the collection of Woking Church not long ago have now become Ladislaus's pioneer.

The killing surfaces of these two level five magics are cone-shaped.

It is the most suitable magic to be used on the city wall. After the blue light passed, the counterattack group organized by General Ferrucci ceased to exist. The death toll exceeded 30 people, and the remaining more than 100 people were trapped in this series of arcane spells.

Morale collapsed under the fierce attack.

A small number of people who were shaking from the cold or panicked even jumped off the city wall more than ten meters high and fled directly into the moat and the houses on the other side.

The splash of water and the wails of the half-dead people on the roof further damaged the morale of the Florentines. Although most people did not jump and scream hysterically, they did not have any will to fight. The people in the back row just ran away.

The people in the front row squeezed hard to get away from the opponent's powerful mage as quickly as possible.

For most people, spell attacks of this intensity and density must be the coming of the legendary Sazastan.

In fact it is the power of money.

The cardinal who had just cast the seventh-level summoning magic had already run away. He couldn't be blamed for this.

But his escape was not smooth at all.

Under the firelight of the dark night, his red archbishop's robe was even more bright. This bright red lighted up Count Slam's target.

His "protective arrows" were of no use in front of Count Slam. It was the night and the crowd that more or less protected him.

Although Count Slam failed to kill him with one arrow in the dark night, the arrow that penetrated the lungs not only scared him out of his wits, but also took half of his life.

The city wall that was crowded a moment ago was suddenly the only one left standing alone with General Ferrucci and a few of his guards.

General Ferrucci and the few soldiers around him were not injured at all, but he was actually about to vomit blood.

He originally thought that with the protection of the "Magic Absorption" scroll, the arrows formed by him and his bodyguard would pose a great threat to the Austrians. Unexpectedly, he only saved their lives.

Although in a sense, this is a better return.

The "Spell Absorption" scroll was already a huge investment, and it did save the lives of him and several of his guards, but he didn't expect Ladislaus's attack to be so ferocious.

General Ferrucci did not cut off the noose on the east gate, because once the gate fell, it would be difficult to lift it up. He also hoped to flank the Austrian army gathered outside the north gate through the east gate.

He thought that even if the battle was unfavorable, he would have enough time to cut the noose. Unexpectedly, in less than a minute, his chicken and tile dog was destroyed by Ladislaus.

Frunzberg rushed so hard that it was impossible to cut the noose in time.

General Ferrucci could only watch as the suspension bridge was lowered and the Modena army smoothly poured in from the east gate.

He could only go down the stairs, and finally retreated into the city under the escort of his personal guards.

It's hateful. The enemy only has a thin layer.

However, after a round of strong attacks, the Florentine army had dispersed.

"Go to the Consul's Palace first and then make plans." Although General Ferrucci was frustrated again, his fighting spirit was still there. The size of the Medici family's Consul's Palace far exceeded the specifications of a mansion. In fact, it was the same size as Siena Facchetti.

The Marchioness held on to the same thing, which was the inner castle of Florence.

The only difference is that relying on the strong financial resources of the Medici family, this mansion is stronger and larger than most castles.

It was not just the Medici family who worked hard to expand the consul's palace for generations, even during their expulsion. The Republicans also continued to fortify the city within the city.

The defense inside is tight and the supplies are sufficient. General Ferrucci is confident that he can hold on there.

In recent years, the Medici Pope has entrusted him with important tasks. Although he has not achieved much results in rectifying the city defense army and militia system, the guards and internal affairs system of the Consul Palace have been under tremendous pressure from General Ferrucci.

Completely cleaned.

Neither efficiency nor fighting spirit can be compared to other Florentine armies.

And for experienced generals, the situation is no longer as unclear as it was at the beginning.

The battle has been going on so far. General Ferrucci has already felt that the Austrian army only used the darkness and arrow figures to destroy its own defenses. In fact, the strength of the Austrian army is not sufficient, and it does not have the strength to defeat its own troops in a head-to-head contest. Then

A round of magic strikes is very powerful, but it also shows that the opponent's strength is insufficient, so he uses the scroll so generously to ensure that his troops are defeated in one go.

If you have enough troops, you can attack yourself with ease. The value of the spell just now fully shows that the opponent is also full of a sense of urgency for the situation.

The still stalemate battle situation in the direction of the North Gate is evidence of this. Ladislaus and Frundsberg carried out the raid as high-end forces. Old John reluctantly commanded the other two captains as the senior captain. His prestige was insufficient, so it was impossible.

Break through such a tall city wall.

As long as we retreat into the Consul's Palace, everything is still possible.

"Don't be afraid, everyone. There is food in the consul's residence that can feed a thousand people for half a year, and there are several deep wells. As long as we retreat and hold on for a few days, His Majesty the Pope will come to us." General Ferrucci said.

He ran and encouraged his subordinates at the same time.

There were not many Austrian troops pursuing behind them, so they did not dare to pursue them too closely in case the Florentines would counterattack. Oded Kessler only had to ensure that General Ferrucci could not go to the North Gate to organize resistance.

Ladislaus took most of the main force and the Modena army to flank the north gate.

The gate of the north gate has been closed, and more and more Austrian troops are entering the city via the east gate, and then attacking the Florentine heavy group at the north gate.

Although it was impossible to attack the city gate, after the enemy was attacked from both sides, Old John commanded his men to transport five ladders and still attack the city.

Different from the "ladder" that just cut down a few trees and tied them together, this time it is a real ladder. It was built in Modena and brought to Florence after a lot of hard work. In the dark night

The soldiers went through a lot of hardships in order to transport this kind of weapons.

The reason why it is not used in the first wave is to act as a double attack at this time.

The Florence city defense forces and militia troops that were temporarily mobilized in the dark night were of unknown organization and disorder. They could barely resist relying on the city walls. Now there were troops attacking them from the streets in the city and from the east side of the city walls. In this situation, they were weak.

Totally exposed.

The city defense army was relatively elite, but it was sandwiched between the militia forces, and the command hierarchy had not been established due to the darkness and the lack of a general. They were no match for the Austrian army, which was not as numerous as our own.

By the time it got dark, the Austrian army had completely driven the enemy out of the north gate tower.

The Austrian army also captured many prisoners, and the few spellcasters who once resisted on the city wall have all been pulled out, and they can be exchanged for a lot of ransom.

Ladislaus stood on the tower of the north gate and looked at the towering Medici Castle. Behind him, Old John commanded the troops to climb over the city wall on the ladder. The Modena army and the Mantua army were chasing the Florentine army that was escaping to the west.

The last trouble now is the Medici Castle, which occupies one-tenth of the city area and is called a palace but is actually an inner castle. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. You can
