…Lautrec attempts instead to threaten Colonna's lines of communication by sweeping around Milan to Monza, cutting the roads from the city into the Alps.
Lautrec is suddenly confronted, however, with the intransigence of the Swiss, who form the largest contingent of the French army.
They complain that they have not received any of the pay promised them since their arrival in Lombardy.
The Swiss captains, led by Albert von Stein, demand that Lautrec attack the Imperial army immediately—else the mercenaries will abandon the French and return to their cantons.
Lautrec reluctantly acquiesces and marches south towards Milan.
