Francis now signs a secret agreement with Pope Clement VII, who pledges not to assist Charles in exchange for Francis's assistance with the conquest of Naples.
Against the advice of his senior commanders, Francis detaches a portion of his forces under the Duke of Albany and sends them south to aid the Pope.
Lannoy attempts to intercept the expedition near Fiorenzuola, but suffers heavy casualties and is forced to return to Lodi by the intervention of the infamous Black Bands of Giovanni de' Medici, which had just entered French service.
