Chapter 373: Encounter of Two Heroes (1)
An envoy was urgently sent from the royal family of Sardinia.
They had most likely realized the severity of their situation now.
They were utterly defeated even though the Duke of Milano and the Grand Duke of Florence had joined forces. It was obvious that their rears were on fire, but the fire was on the level of hellfire.
This wasn’t hyperbole. 3,000 in the Battle of Ticinus, 5,000 in the Siege of Novara, and 20,000 in the Battle of the Trebia had either run away or were killed. That reached a total of about 30,000. Adding to this, they were all elite soldiers…….
We crossed the Alps on the 30th day of the 5th month and ended the Battle of Ticinus on the 28th day of the 6th month. It took exactly one month. A single month. The main forces of Sardinia’s north and central armies were wiped out in a month.
According to rumors, the King of Sardinia passed out when he received the battle report.
“30,000! Give me back my 30,000 men!”
Something along that line was apparently shouted.
This was probably like a nightmare for their king.
