It was not until after three days and nights of ceaseless firing, that the walls had given way enough to leave breaches of sufficient size for an assault. Fran9ois I. Actually expected to take Pavia by one sharp attack, which he commanded from the west, while La Palisse led it on the eastern side. The soldiers managed to scale the broken walls, with great loss, but on reaching the top they met with the most obstinate and vigorous resistance. The assailants, whose ranks had been thinned by shots... from the city, were received on the breach with pikes ten feet long, vigorously used by sturdy landsknechte. Leyva had skilfully placed his men under the Comte de Lordon to face the attack of La Pahsse, and under the Comte de Hohenzollem on the side where the King was, while he himself was ever at the point of hottest attack. This murderous reception continued for about an hour until the French were compelled to retire, with terrible loss.
