The Rise of the European Emperor

On August 25, Caesar Borgia was carried, along with his sister Lucrezia, with a group of loyal servants and a few belongings, after putting on makeup, detoured from the south of the city of Rome and went to the west coast, using money After buying some fishermen, I boarded the fishing boat and headed to Sicily.

Caesar was afraid that the people of Archbishop Rovere would monitor the merchant dock, so he didn't dare to find a merchant ship when he was running, and rented a few fishing boats to run away.

After he left, the cronies who stayed to report the letter in Rome quickly entered the city from the south of the city and found several cardinals who were close to the Borgia family and told them that Archbishop Rovere was hiding in Rome with 7,000 troops. information from the north.

Several cardinals were taken aback and hurried to convene other cardinals to discuss countermeasures...

The College of Cardinals met overnight and finally decided to seal the city gates and then call early elections to elect the Pope as soon as possible within a day or two. In this way, even if the army of the Archbishop Rovere broke the city of Rome, it would be of no avail.

Moreover, the defenders in the city of Rome also have 2ooo people. Although there are more opponents, but because of the support of the city wall, they may not lose. Taking a step back, even if the seven thousand troops of Archbishop Rovere can finally capture the city of Rome, it will be many days later. By then, a new pope would have long been elected and enthroned. Even if Archbishop Rovere was given some courage, he would not dare to kill the Pope. At most, it is to lead the troops to stay in the city of Rome, and then take control of the power.

Although it is said that the Archbishop of Rovere may hold the power, but this is different from being the Pope. Because the name is not right, even if you become the mastermind behind the scenes, you will be subject to various restrictions. In this way, the bishops of the cardinal group still have a certain right to speak, and at most they are at a disadvantage. And if the Archbishop of Rovere becomes the Pope, it will be different. Originally, the Pope was justified, and he brought a large army into the city. Then, in the future, other cardinals will not have the right to speak...

The next morning, the gates of the city of Rome were closed and never reopened. The confidant of Archbishop Rovere, who was looking for information outside Rome, immediately felt bad. So, they immediately reported to the Archbishop of Rovere in the village of Doromia, 20 kilometers away...

"What? The city gates of Rome are not open today?" Archbishop Rovere was surprised. He realized right away—the news had leaked...

then,

He quickly came to Schwartz to discuss countermeasures...

"Archbishop, let's send troops immediately!"

"But Caesar Borgia hasn't returned to the city..." Archbishop Rovere hesitated.

"There's no time, Archbishop! Since the other party didn't open the city gate today, it means that they must have taken precautions. This is still light. What I am most afraid of is that they will accumulate all kinds of bricks and wood in the city gate hole... If The back of the city gate is full of things, and the 100 inner response that was previously arranged in the city will be useless. Even if they kill all the defenders in the city gate hole, it will take half a day to remove the accumulated debris. If there is time, the enemy will be early. Just react and destroy them!" Schwartz has participated in many siege battles, and in this regard, he is obviously more professional than Archbishop Rovere.

In fact, Schwartz had a good estimate that the defenders in the city had indeed begun to consider accumulating debris in the city gate hole of the North City Gate.

It's just that the Italian mercenaries are procrastinating. When the Roman Cardinals ordered the city gates to be blocked, many Italian mercenaries were still lying on the bed of their mistresses, don't even think of it until 10 o'clock...

Therefore, the lazy style of Italian mercenaries has delayed the action of stacking debris in the city gate hole of the North City Gate...

When several officers arrived at the scene, there was also a dispute over where to obtain the professional raw materials such as masonry and logs used to block the gates of the city. In this way, the action has been delayed again...

After Schwartz expressed his concerns, Archbishop Rovere no longer hesitated, and directly agreed to send troops immediately. Although he failed to catch the bastard Caesar Borgia, the city was already on guard. If it was delayed any longer, it would be over when the Roman Cardinals elected a new pope. After all, he was already 60 years old, and in this age of poor medical skills, he would not have a few years to live. If he fails to become the Pope this time, he may never have another chance.

So, at about 8:00 in the morning, the army gathered and immediately entered the north gate of Rome...

Two hours later, in addition to the 1,000 artillery and baggage troops, the 7,000-strong army was still behind, and the other 6,000 had arrived outside the north gate of Rome...

At this time, many soldiers in charge of orienting the city of Rome just got up from the belly of a woman...

At the same time, on the inner side of the north gate, several officers loyal to Caesar Borgia were still arguing fiercely, arguing endlessly over which houses to demolish.

After all, if you want to block the gate hole, because there is no preparation in advance, it will inevitably have to demolish the nearby houses in order to obtain enough bricks, stones and wood.

However, these Italian officers are looking for women everywhere, but there are many houses near the north gate, which belong to their mistresses. In order to protect the interests of their mistresses, they naturally argued, delaying the time to block the gates of the city...

However, they are not in a hurry. Because the gates are closed. Even if the enemy hits the city gate or bombards the city gate, it will not work in a short time. Generally speaking, they have time to find materials to block the gates of the city...

However, after Schwartz led 6,000 troops to the north gate of Rome, he did not order to climb the city wall immediately, but let the signal soldiers ignited a double-barreled cannon to signal the city...

"Boom--boom--"

In the yard where the "grain merchant" is located near the north gate in the city, in fact, when they woke up in the morning, the people inside began to get ready. Because, they also discovered the abnormality of the Roman city defenders. Therefore, they made all the soldiers wear plate armor early, picked up single swords and shields, and were ready to attack the city gates at any time...

At about 1o o'clock, the sound of "bang-bang-" suddenly came to mind outside the north gate of Rome, and the 1oo Frisian warriors in the compound were shocked-they knew that it was their turn to go out...

So, 1oo, a warrior in plate armor and holding a sword and shield, suddenly rushed out of the courtyard and rushed directly to the north gate of Rome...

Several officers of the Roman city defenders were still arguing there. Suddenly, they saw hundreds of soldiers in plate armor rushing towards the city gate...

Except for one officer who responded quickly and ran away immediately, several other officers were directly hacked to death by the sword and shield soldiers who rushed over...

In the city gate cave, although preparations have been made, the 40 Italian mercenaries inside are obviously not the opponents of these 100 East Frisian elite soldiers. So, after a short period of time, the 40 Italian mercenaries were either cut down, or they were so frightened that they knelt down and surrendered...

And the defenders on the Roman city wall also appeared abnormal, and sent people to attack the 100 sword and shield soldiers. However, the defense of the sword and shield soldiers is good, and they all wear full-body plate armor. Those Italian mercenaries who came down from the city walls, although the number was larger, could not break through the defense line of the sword and shield soldiers in a short period of time.

When the people inside cleaned up the defenders in the city gate hole, they immediately opened the thick iron door bolt, and with a "squeak and creak" sound, opened the north gate of the city of Rome...

Then, Schwartz immediately directed the soldiers to rush in...

When breaking through the gate hole, the army encountered some trouble. After all, there were hundreds of Italian mercenaries gathered inside the small city gate. After paying the cost of a dozen casualties, Schwartz's army successfully stormed the city and began to divide the defenders who surrounded the Roman city...

There were only 2ooo guards in the city of Rome. In addition, many people just got up and haven't come to the barracks to report. Where is the opponent?

Soon, Schwartz divided his troops and horses to control several other city gates to prevent anyone from escaping from other city gates...

In addition, a force, led by a close associate of Archbishop Rovere, went to the main house of the Borgia family in Rome. The purpose... Naturally, it is to snatch the massive wealth that the Borgia family has accumulated over the years by unscrupulous means...
