Conquer the Dawn of Heaven

Vol 2 Chapter 59: recapture!

The tax collector was interrupted while eating breakfast. In fact, he did not wait for his men to report that he had felt something strange from the vibration of the ground.

But he still ordered the hot milk in the jar in an orderly way, and then he cleaned it a little before slowly walking out of the house.

A row of soldiers has gathered on the farmyard. Their spears are pointed forward, and the sharp axes on the spears collide with each other. From time to time, a "dingle" sound is made, and as the sound of horseshoes gets closer and closer, that sound Also getting denser.

The tax collector shook his head helplessly. He felt that it was really disappointing to bring these people out this time, which reminded him that he had brought some soldiers before. The soldiers were not only brave and warlike, many of them also participated in such as resistance against the French. Fighting, those hardships make them a very elite army.

It is a pity that some of the soldiers have returned home with the end of the war, and more have stayed with the Duke. After all, this is a critical moment for Frederick, as long as the half-mad and not stupid Ferdinand has no offspring one day, Frederick had the opportunity to inherit the throne at any time, and the Duke would certainly not keep those elite troops away from him at this time. ,

Hearing the dense sound of horseshoes rushed into the farm, the cranky tax collector cleared his mind and he needed to concentrate on what was about to happen.

The ground was smashed with smoke, and when a figure of cavalry appeared in front of the open space, the tax collector stepped down the steps at the door and walked behind his team.

The few shots of the Moorish man last night gave him too deep impression, which made the tax collector realize that standing too clearly is not a good thing.

Then he saw the Alexander riding on the horse through the crevices in the front.

Alexander didn't see the tax collectors, he saw a dense line of troops on the open ground, and he raised his hand to signal the cavalry to stop advancing. At the same time, he was secretly a little strange.

What he thought might be a farm battle did not happen as he thought. Even when the Bohemians rushed into the gate of the farm, he thought that an ambush like the previous night would happen, even during the day, But Alexander was also prepared to face a sneak attack.

But they rushed into the farm very smoothly without saying, even until they came to the open space, they did not encounter any obstruction.

Until I saw Frederick's soldiers in front.

"Bohemians." Although he was unwilling to admit that the number of people who could see the landing continued to surround the farm from the open space far outnumbered their cavalry, the tax collector had no choice but to accept the facts.

Obviously, although they did not know the reason, the army sent by these Bohemian queens did indeed go to the Cosenza.

And it seems that these Bohemian cavalry also listened to the command of the Sicilian named Alexander.

"Stop!" The tax collector shouted across the line behind the line. "You are now in the domain of Duke Frederick. I am the Duke's tax collector. I ordered you to stop in the name of the Duke, otherwise you will be seen It is a challenge to the Duke ’s authority. "

Alexander slowly came out of the team, ran all the way to make him breathless, the hot air sucked into his mouth, smelling the faint **** smell in it, Alexander also forced his emotions to calm down.

The Cosenza family is a vassal of Naples, which restricts the behavior of the Cosenza people and confronts Frederick's tax collector, which means enemies against the royal family of Naples.

The Cosenza family could not ignore Frederick, but Alexander did not need to care about these.

After seeing the Bohemians stop, the tax collector who stepped up to walk through the team just raised his foot, and suddenly heard a familiar and casual voice from the opposing team: "And I am the messenger of Sicily, I Accept your challenge in the name of King Ferdinand. "

After talking, Alexander's relaxed legs suddenly exerted force, and as the heel kicked **** the horse's belly, the horse's hissing pain caused by the pain instantly sounded over the open space!

The tax collector stopped instinctively. He raised his head and looked forward through the slit in the front of the figure. When he saw Alexander's horse neck suddenly lower down, a thought flashed through his mind quickly!

"Prepare to fight!" The tax collector didn't even realize that his tone was out of tune. When he turned and tried to squeeze through the gap between the two soldiers, he heard a horrified cry from one of them. .

Then, the Bohemians who had already stopped suddenly raised their sabers and launched an attack on the soldiers surrounded by the open space!

Alexander did n’t even need to pull the reins deliberately. In a blink of an eye, several Bohemian cavalry had crossed him, and the bohemian rushing to the front had already cut off the block in the wind of the sword The spear in front of him even led the horse into Frederick's soldiers!

Then the cavalry in the back immediately swarmed Frederick's men in a hurry like a wave of waves suddenly rising on the reef.

Less than thirty people faced nearly a hundred Bohemian cavalry. Alexander did not feel that there was anything worth showing off if he won, and it was clear that the other party had given up the preparation to rely on the farm to resist.

In fact, when they rushed into the farm without any obstruction, Alexander already guessed the tax collector's intention.

Obviously, it was not because of stupidity that the man gave up the defensive methods that should have benefited him, but he knew that it would be useless to do so.

Unlike the tax collectors who had been attacked completely unpreparedly, no one would believe that some people could hold this completely unprotected farm, even Alexander himself admitted that this way The battle is not fair to the tax collector.

So the tax collector can only count on the Cosenza people to regard Frederick as the royal family of Naples, and may even be the scruples of the future king.

It is a pity that he is not facing the Cosenza family.

Lao Sha was not in the team, and Burelli was arranged by Alexander to stay in accordance with his sister.

There is no Cosenza family in this team, naturally there will be no scruples!

Frederick's soldiers collapsed almost immediately after the battle. These people haven't heard the blood for too long, and even a group of farmers taught them hard in the night.

Now facing the Bohemians, who are known for their fierceness and cruelty, even in the war against pagans, when the first person was cut down by the terrible scimitar, these Naples soldiers were completely Lost the courage to fight.

No one knows who was the first to turn around and run away. Even when the tax collector was knocked down and just started rolling on the ground, most of his men had disappeared.

Thanks to the fences that were not strong enough around the farmstead, the Neapolitans did n’t even need to climb. The escape instinct allowed them to disregard the barbed wood sticks on the fence and directly hit the fence with their bodies. Then he desperately ran towards the field under the hillside of the farm.

It is a pity that they are chased by a group of cavalry, and the number of these cavalry is far more than them, so that almost everyone will have two or three behind them, and even more cavalry chase down like a hunter driving a hare.

When the tax collector finally got up from the ground, he discovered that Alexander ’s warhorse had stopped at a distance from him. Looking at this young man he had seen more than once, the tax collector did n’t panic. He exhaled slightly as if he had fulfilled his duties, and then he wiped off the dust from the clothes on his chest, raised his head and looked at Alexander who was watching him.

"Now we can talk about it, don't you, Master messenger?" The tax collector tried to make him stand as straight as possible. Bohemian cavalry circling around him from time to time. Those people looked at him as if Looking at a large bag of gold coins, this made the tax collector who wanted to maintain dignity as much as possible uncomfortably moved. "Messenger, I can't help but say that you have caused yourself a lot of trouble."

Alexander came down from the horse, and his sense of down-to-ear legs made him relieved. He was not very used to riding. Considering that even Shaosha could mock him in riding, Alexander secretly decided to find a chance to learn well. Equestrian.

"Tax collector, I don't need you to remind me how much trouble I've caused and who I'm causing," Alexander said before walking to the tax collector. "Don't you really think you can use a group of Bohemian mercenaries Take away Cosenza? "

The tax collector ’s eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at the side, trying to say in a tone so low that only two people could hear: "Listen, I do n’t know how you move that bohemian guy, but you do Do you think the Sicilian would offend the Duke because of you, even if you fled back to Sicily now, as long as the Duke would like the Sicilian to hand you over, not to mention that the Duke soon became king, to At that time, the only way to survive was to wander away. "

Alexander looked at the tax collector. He had to admit that the tax collector was right, according to common sense. No one would offend a high-weight duke for a small person, not to mention that this duke will soon be a king, and he himself is indeed a small person.

But in some special cases, this may not be the case.

"Sir, we have captured the captive," a Bohemian leader approached. He carried a saber in one hand and a heavy cloth bag in the other hand. From his walking bag, there was a whimper. From the sound point of view, it should have just come out of the kitchen or the storage room. "Except for a few bad luck eggs, we caught almost everyone."

As the Bohemian put his cloth bag on the ground, a pile of large and small copper pots and copper plates and some ceramic jars came out from the mouth of the bag.

"According to the rules, you can pick your own." The Bohemians said with a smile. "The captives can also get a ransom."

"This is all yours," Alexander did not look at the things on the ground, but still looked at the tax collector. "I was wondering how much ransom the Duke tax collector would be worth."

"You're crazy," the tax collector's voice was tense at once. "Are you going to poke this thing out, if you do this, even if I'm finished, you're surely finished. And this will not do any harm to the Duke God is partial to some people, but unfortunately not including you! "

"But there will still be some influence," Alexander smiled indifferently to the tax collector's words. "I was thinking, what if Earl Modillo knew what would happen? Forgetting that he had just rejected Savonaro in Florence. Pull the show. "

"Of course he will know, but he will not be as stupid as you," the tax collector said sarcastically. "The count knows that this is a game played by the rich, so he will not break the rules, so don't expect to get Modillo. support."

The tax collector looked at Alexander sarcastically. Although he knew he would lose, he did not think he would lose everything. Even if possible, the Sicilian would be in a dilemma because of his victory.

"Maybe the Earl will be like you said, but if the news that Duke Frederick tried to annex the territory of Kosenza and the plain of the Agri River made all the southern nobles aware, what would they think?" Alexander looked at it. By the time he said the tax collector whose face started to change "Do you think that once everyone knows that the Duke tried to seize Cosenza, Count Modillo can ignore it, whether it is for Cosenza or the Count's own Honor, what do you think he will do? "

"You're crazy, you're really crazy," the tax collector looked at Alexander with incredible eyes. "You don't know how stupid you are to threaten a future king like this, even the King of Aragon will not spare. Yours, because you are threatening at the same time as his descendants of the Aragonese royal family. "

"Then you don't need to bother," Alexander passed the tax collector carelessly, letting the man yell and shout uncontrollably behind him, and finally fell to the ground by the Bohemians with a knife handle. .

"Sir, that person said, maybe it's true."

Uliu, who walked into the cellar behind, whispered, seeing that Alexander did not show displeasure, he continued: "I heard that the Duke and your king are a grandfather or great-grandfather, and you are an envoy of Sicily."

Alexander looked at Uliu slightly surprised, but he did not expect this Moor to be familiar with the intricate relationship of these European royal families. Speaking of it, Alexander would sometimes be confused by the intricate and even messy relationship of these royal families.

"You're right, Uliu, but believe me, I'm right this time." Alexander comforted Uliu, watching the Moors still look worried, and Alexander could only shake his head helplessly, continue Go and see the storage rooms that have been looted twice overnight.

At this time, Alexander was certainly unable to tell Uliu that he dared to face Frederick ’s anger ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ That was because he knew that the Sicilian king Fei, who was also a descendant of Aragon ’s royal family with Frederick Dinant, salivated for Naples long ago.

When this Aragon sent troops to help Naples drive away the French, the Aragonese general found an excuse to seize the command of King Ferdinand of Naples, and his fellow ancestors who were far away in Aragon did not have any sense for his general Any punishment can be seen, in the eyes of the Aragonese, the royal family of Naples has no dignity at all.

A toppled jar came under his feet, looking at the honey flowing inside, and Alexander looked up.

"We are waiting," Alexander found a comfortable place to sit and closed his eyes. The fatigue of the previous night slowly hit him at this moment, and then he seemed to know that Uliu was looking at him doubtfully, and he was vague. Explained the sentence "Wait for Zuosha."

After he finished, he slept slowly.

Ruosha came to the farm in the evening, and the Burleigh who accompanied her ran around to check the farm as soon as she entered the farm, but his face became more and more ugly.

When he saw the last empty storage room, his suppressed anger finally broke out!

Bereri roared and knocked down a Bohemian who happened to be stuffing cheese in his arms, and then surrounded by a group of Bohemians, grabbed a table and waved fiercely!

When Lao Sha arrived and stopped drinking, Burelli just knocked over a Bohemian again, looked at the red-eyed Burleigh, and there were Bohemians who came around to hear the news, Ruo After silence, Shah said, "I have promised to recapture the farm and give you compensation. Now that you have fulfilled your promise, now I have fulfilled my promise."

Ruosha looked at Alexander again and said, "From now on, everything in the farm is yours!"
