Chapter 94: The Death of Sforza
In the camp tent, Radislaus sat on the mat and looked at each other silently with Cardinal Medici, Caligula Sibo and several other generals were there.
Everyone's faces were covered with dark clouds.
Cardinal Medici's face looked particularly ugly. These trenchers were his precious property. In order to have a more say in the dividing of Siena's land, they took it out. Unexpectedly, they lost a double k and double a, and the opponent's trenchers completely defeated his quantity with quality in the competition.
Old Cologne wants to arrange to strengthen the guards tonight, but it has not arrived yet.
Although the other party dared not go out of the city to pursue it in the morning, it should be because he had no confidence in field battles, night battles have always been very dangerous for the party with a decline in morale, and it is very necessary to be prepared.
Although he looked solemn and frowned like others, Radislaus's thinking was not actually focused on today's battle, not because of today's failure.
He was wondering about a newly released task in the system today: "Enter the Sistine Chapel again." This task itself is very strange. The last time I went to the Sistine Chapel was a task. Rewarded reputation once, and it can be explained that entering that holy land is a glorious thing. However, giving reputation again makes people a little worried. What's even more strange is that there is a hint on the task: complete it as soon as possible, and the damage is less.
This unprecedented situation made Ladislaus very nervous. The process of entering the Sistine Chapel last time was quite dull, but recently he felt something was wrong, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt uncomfortable. He could not think of anything except to make sure something was wrong.
Although he had the idea of rushing back to Rome immediately to control the damage, Ladislaus decided not to rush it. It would be better to study it with Machiavelli first. Although it is impossible to share the task system with him, it is still possible to analyze some reasons for going to the Sistine Chapel.
However, Ladislaus's worries were naturally understood by old Cologne, who had just entered the main account. In order to worry about the battle situation, he patted Ladislaus on the shoulder and said: "It is difficult to seek the law and a pamper the great cause of education. It is not a simple matter. What is this setback? Young people should have an optimistic spirit."
After Ladislaus was photographed, it was naturally difficult to explain anything. Although he proposed from the beginning that he would not choose a catapult to attack the city directly, it was hard to mention it now. After all, the opinions of old Cologne and Medici were very reasonable at that time. The siege party did not have ten times the advantage of troops, and the attack was too risky.
After crossing the bridge with his daughter's lover, Old Cologne looked around the audience and said, "Everyone, today's small setbacks are nothing. Our army is still unscathed. The losses of a few catapults are just a strong man who has broken his skin. Do you still have to cry if you have such a small injury? Please cheer up, speak freely, and discuss what to do next."
‘A little bit of skin? That’s 50,000 Tale! Your son’s head is not worth half of this skin’ Although he cursed the old Cologne who mocked his “crying nose” mentally, Cardinal Medici immediately put on a very excited expression and continued the conversation: “General Cologne is right. There are no reinforcements outside Siena and no food and grass. This luck is just to let them die a few days late, which is not hindering the overall situation.” His speaking level was relatively low.
Ladislaus, who came to his senses, was unworthy, but he had no intention of arguing about anything.
Kaligula Sibo jumped out and said, "Everyone, I heard that there was a thing called ** that could be used to attack cities during the Dwarf Empire. Why don't we dig tunnels and bury ** under the city wall to try it?"
‘If you sell you, you can’t get one ten thousandth of the required one’s worth. Radislaus had nothing to say about this delusion. Making the most precious treasure in the world requires sulfur. Only in the craters that erupted all year round are produced. However, volcanoes are the home of powerful demons. If you want to get sulfur, you have to fight them. The most powerful country can organize the most elite teams to carry out small-scale mining. The little output used by magicians in the laboratory is in short supply. Only the dwarves have fought against the devil for years and carried out large-scale mining. Since the demise of the dwarves empire, no major civilization has done such a deficit.
Of course, old Cologna could not help his allies back: "Caligula, your idea is very imaginative, good, good, but you still can't be too hasty about this matter. We have just suffered a setback, so we still have to wait for the morale to recover a little before we can move on to the next step."
The next few people in the account offered suggestions on how to conquer Siena. Unfortunately, since ancient times, they have been famous in history because they are very rare. After studying for a long time, they are basically helpless. It seems that they can only wait a few days to recover and try to see if they can attack.
The fruitless discussion continued for a while, and a Cologne family messenger who came from Rome interrupted the process of the meeting, a letter sent by the Marquis of Susan Facheti, who stayed in Rome.
After looking at the letter quickly, Old Cologne declared to the nervous people: "Don't worry, it's not military information, but just a death. His Majesty's verdict on the earth, the Chief Officer of Rome, Cardinal Sforza, had already gone to the Supreme Throne last night to serve our eternal Lord."
To show selflessness, Old Cologne also handed the letter to Cardinal Medici while speaking.
Most people, including Ladislaus, were not very interested in Cardinal Sforza's life and death. Although he was a very strong priest and he could use his flag to join some of the remnants of the Principality of Milan to oppose the Kingdom of France, this power was really not a bargaining chip in the battle between the Habsburgs and the Cape family.
Not to mention, this will make it easier for Ladislaus to poach, but after hearing the news, Baron Gariani immediately surrendered and said he wanted to pray for his benefactor. Naturally, everyone expressed their understanding and dispersed.
However, after seeing Cardinal Medici's face was surprisingly bad after reading the letter, Ladislaus's face was surprisingly bad. Could it be that he and Cardinal Sforza were secret allies?
However, the alliance between the Cardinals is generally targeted at other Cardinals, which is not very beneficial to Ladislaus, so he just sued old Cologne and returned to his tent.
Back at his tent, he first briefly talked about the meeting with Machiavelli, who was not qualified to attend the meeting, about the situation of the meeting and the news of Cardinal Sforza's death.
Machiavelli had long expected that he could not say anything new about the situation of the battle, but he was quite interested in Cardinal Sforza's death. He suggested that he wanted to read the letter from the Marquis. Ladislaus did not notice who the Cardinal Medici gave it to him after he took it, but he said that he could inquire with old Cologne again.
It was already midnight, and Captain Casso-Vitin also came to Ladislaus's tent.
The "Half-Sword" cavalry are responsible for patrolling the battlefield from dusk to midnight to ensure that the enemy cannot attack at night, and the cavalry directly under the Roman army is responsible for the second half of the night.
