As the second largest city in Italy, Milan City is located on the Lombardy Plain and is considered an important food production base in Italy.

Florence is an important transportation hub in central Italy. As the hometown of Galileo, a foreign academician of the Royal Academy of Sciences of the Ming Dynasty, it can also be regarded as the cultural center of Italy.

All food and food transportation from Milan to Rome must be transferred in Florence.

Therefore, before attacking Milan, Florence and Rome, the Ming Army formulated a policy to attack Florence first to interrupt the connection between Milan and Rome.

However, in terms of specific operations, Jiao Lian's troops still used the cavalry to quickly surround Milan City, and carried out artillery attacks day and night.

The Roman authorities mistakenly believed that the Ming army's combat method was just a radish and a radish pull, so they immediately mobilized reinforcements to Milan and set up multiple obstacles and defense lines along the Florence to Milan City, attempting to resist the Ming army's attack at a level.

In fact, the main force of the Ming Dynasty's army and the main force of the air force were already coming to Florence under the leadership of the Italian surrenders and the spy of the Jinyiwei.

In this era, the Roman authorities did not have aircraft reconnaissance, nor did they have professional reconnaissance soldiers. On the contrary, the Ming Dynasty's Jinyiwei had already had complete military reconnaissance functions, so the secret operations of hundreds of thousands of Ming troops did not attract the attention of the Roman authorities.

On the contrary, Jiao Lian's momentum at the city of Milan further attracted the attention of Pope Alexander VII. He did not dare to transfer the Roman soldiers, while Florence's original troops were constantly transferred to Milan.

When the main force of the Ming army arrived near Florence, there was almost no military force to resist in the entire Florence.

At this time, the Ming Air Force's gliders and airships were gathered in the sky above Florence.

The Florence defenders were surprised at how many iron boxes appeared in the sky like wild goose and fish belly. In addition to vainly pulling out bows and arrows and igniting firearms to attack these monsters, they could only watch the Ming air force throw bombs into the city of Florence.

When the first shell fell from above the city of Florence and exploded onto a church of Cross, causing the entire church of Cross to burst into countless debris.

The officials and citizens in Florence came back from their surprise and realized that these wonderful things could bring danger.

The following several explosions exploded in the market, and countless people were directly killed and injured. Looking at the people around him who were still intact at first, they were blown up and bloody in the blink of an eye. The officials and citizens of Florence, who were originally confused, became panicked and rushed around in a hurry.

The Italian defenders stationed in Florence were also confused. They never thought of air raids in military wars.

Therefore, when the Ming Air Force carried a large number of bombs over Florence in large quantities, these defenders did not know how to counterattack, and could only watch the bombs randomly bomb a quiet city of Florence into chaos.

The entire grain depot, military camp and gunpowder depot in Florusa City were taken seriously by the Ming Air Force. Within half a quarter of an hour, many military camps and grain depots were directly in full swing.

Countless soldiers ran out of the barracks with roars, and countless explosions sounded in gunpowder depots everywhere.

Not only that, some eye-catching powerful buildings were also bombed directly, and many Western fans were blown away directly from the house.

After the first round of bombing, the entire city of Florence had turned into a sea of ​​fire, and no street did not emit flames and smoke radiated.

The defenders who survived the bombing in Florence City did not have time to take care of the guards outside the city, and had to join in the operation to extinguish the fires in the city.

However, at this moment, the main artillery of the Ming Army had already been in place. Thousands of artillery arrived raised steel barrels with metallic luster from various commanding heights. The shells with flame tongues burst out from the barrels and rushed directly into the sky, landing directly on the city walls of Florence with a parabola.

With a loud bang!

The walls of Florence were covered with endless thick smoke in an instant. After the thick smoke dissipated, the entire Florence city was presented naked in front of the 600,000 Ming army like a woman without clothes.

The 600,000 army of the Ming Dynasty rushed towards Florence like a tide. The unblocked city of Florence only had the meat in the mouth of the 600,000 army, and it was a piece of meat without any bones.

The defenders in Florence were already few. After seeing the main force of the Ming army coming, the first one that came to mind was to immediately throw down the weapon and flee.

The residents of Florence looked at everything in front of them in a daze. They had never seen so many yellow people, and they all seemed to be covered with fangs.

At this time, the Ming army was indeed a wolf full of fangs. Before the war end order was sounded, according to regulations, during this period, anyone in the city would be enemies, so these people would be brutal attacks from the Ming army.

Countless Italians were shot to the ground in an instant, and some Italians were shot and shot into powder when they tried to run.

After the residents of the entire city of Florence, Italy were trapped in a pool of blood and gave up any way of resistance, the sound of suspending killing sounded, and some Italians who were lucky enough to be shot were driven directly together. At the same time, the Ming army divided into countless teams and entered churches, villas, manors, and buildings to capture all the upper class personnel of Florence City and searched for all documents and paintings.

After all, Florence, the center of the Renaissance, has achieved great achievements in the fields of natural sciences, humanities and even painting. Although the Ming Dynasty wanted to abolish the writing and culture of these regions, these human art and technology crystallizations must be preserved and carried forward in the Ming Dynasty. Naturally, all talents related to this aspect must be taken back without losing.

After the occupation of Florence, the Italian metropolis with a population of nearly one million, the entire Papal Kingdom had lost its last chance of survival, and its city of Milan and Roman became an isolated city.

In addition to sending some troops to assist Jiao Lian's troops in capturing the city of Milan, the main force of the Ming army went straight toward the city of Rome after resting for three days in Florence.

At this time, the city of Rome did not know the news of Florence's loss, and the upper nobles of the entire Papal Kingdom were still enjoying the last life of luxury.89
