Sforza, returning to the siege of Piacenza…

March 1448 CE

Sforza, returning to the siege of Piacenza and finding the city not likely to crumble by starvation, resolves to storm it.

Employing cannons in an almost unheard-of manner, he opens up a breach in the walls and sacks the city.

The news of this sack is greeted by three days' rejoicing in Milan.
