Siege of Florence Part II

After that day where Berengar and his Army had fought off the Italian Charge, things went back to their usual pacing. The rain finally dispersed, and soon the muddied trenches dried up, allowing the Austrian soldiers still issued flintlock rifles to use their weapons properly.

Rain was replaced with snow as winter soon fell upon the city of Florence, and thus the Austrian Army was now dressed in its winter clothing, who were struggling with each day to endure the cold and harsh life of sustaining a large term siege while living in a trench. 

Another month had passed, and during this time frame, the Italians had seldom made an advance; despite this, the Austrian Army continued to shell the city every day for several hours at a time. If not for Berengar's established supply routes, and the empty cities behind him, he would have had a hard time maintaining the number of shells needed to bombard the town.
