It had become evident, indeed, that unless the Florentines were to remain within their walls, till the last survivor of them should have died of pestilence and famine, some steps, however desperate, must be taken towards escaping from their present position. It was determined accordingly, about the middle of July,t that as soon as Ferruccio, who had received orders to join himself to the Florentine forces in and around P...isa, amounting at that time to five thousand infantry, and five hundred cavalry, should approach the city thus reinforced, a desperate sortie of the entire force within the walls should be made ; and a battle fought with the besieging army, "in which the citizens should remain victorious, or lose everything, together with their Kves." J It was determined and ordered therefore, " that those who were to be left behind to guard the gates and the defences, should, if they saw that their fellow- citizens were worsted in the fight, immediately put to death with their own hands the women and children, and then, having set fire to the city, go forth to meet the same fate, with those who had preceded them : in such sort that the city should be so destroyed as that nothing should be left but the memory thereof, and of the magnanimity of its inhabitants, and an immortal example to all future * Relazioni degU Ambaaoiatori Veneti, eerie ii.
