Conquer the Dawn of Heaven

Vol 4 Chapter 8: Oral's War (1)

The guy Chasquina looked up with amazement and looked at Alexander on a horse. She thought today was her lucky day. Looking at this gorgeous young man in a tall horse, Chasquina suddenly felt that she must have been before What good deeds are done will meet Alexander when he is desperate.

Yes, it must be because he helped him, or because he gave Sophia to him.

Chasquina would like to ask where Sophia is, but the soldiers chasing after her have arrived nearby. She hears the clutter of reins tightening the reins behind her, and whispers that seem to be tense.

Alexander looked at the soldiers chasing Chasquina and saw the slightly familiar blue-and-white costumes on them. He looked back to a Genoese man who was wearing similar clothes.

"Are they Genoese?"

"Yes, sir," the Genoese officer who followed followed secretly and annoyedly led the horse forward and asked loudly, "Who are you, why are you chasing this Bohemian woman?"

When questioned, the Genoese officer could not help but tilt his head slightly to look at Chasquina. When he saw that the Bohemian woman looked good, he glanced at Alexandria somewhat strangely.

"We are the forward unit of General Calgino."

A soldier replied loudly that he could see that these people should not be enemies, but they were very upset to protect the Bohemian woman. After all, their companion had just suffered a loss, and now howling at the back with stinging eyes Screaming.

So he glanced at the Genoese officer and then said: "If you can give us that Bohemian woman, we will be very grateful, she has not only offended our captain, but also in front of a large group of civilians To hurt him, we must punish this woman, otherwise our entire team will lose face. "

The officer looked back at Alexander a little embarrassedly. He didn't know how the woman and Alexander knew each other, but from the woman's immediate fear, Alexander clearly could support her.

Sure enough, Alexander came over slowly when he heard the soldier.

Pagasos is tall and superb, and even some experienced veterans do not seem to be suitable as war horses, because it is too conspicuous, and it is a target that attracts the attention of the enemy on the battlefield.

But at this time, Pagasos showed its advantages, taking elegant but aggressive steps, Pagasos stared with arrogance at the opposite kind, which was half a head shorter than it, if not Alexander. With the rein, it will go straight forward and then use its long face to push the opponent back backwards.

"Where is General Calgino?" Alexander ignored the soldier's dissatisfaction and asked him more interested questions "I want to see him immediately."

"Sir," the soldier froze for a moment, because he didn't want to say anything, but looked at Alexander's eyes, he finally lowered his voice. "Who are you?"

"I am Gombré, Earl of Montina," Alexander said slowly, and then smiled at the soldier as if remembering it. "Accurately, I am a cousin of General Calgino."

Julian Calgino is the nephew of Old Rovere.

The soldier's face changed slightly. No matter what Chasquina had done before, they knew it was not time for revenge.

The companion carrying the captain in the back had whispered in the ear of the captain who was still yelling and said what was happening in front of him. When he led the horse to the front, the captain was still angry, but he no longer screamed.

But he still felt angry, so he closed his red eyes swollen like walnuts and turned his head immediately.

"Sir, this Bohemian woman is counting me in front of so many people. I hope you can give her to me."

Alexander frowned. He was not angry at the soldier's rudeness in front of him, but he was angry to see that these Genoese people were entangled with women.

"What do you think I would do for a soldier who was counted by a woman? And still be counted by a woman when there are so many companions?"

Alexander's words caused laughter from the hunting guards and bohemian cavalry behind him, who looked at the Genoese soldiers with sarcasm.

The Genoese blushed, maybe it was more shame or anger, but they did not dare to show it in front of Alexander.

The Genoese officers next to him were equally ugly. He felt that these soldiers had humiliated the Genoese, and Alexander's merciless sarcasm made him feel secretly dissatisfied.

"Go back and tell General Calgino that I will be waiting for him in Oral," Alexander said to the soldiers, and then turned his horse to come to Chasquina. "We have really been away for a long time, and Let me talk about how you have lived recently? "

Several Genoese looked at each other, and then they looked at the Genoese officers who were still staring at them, and some of them recognized him. When they saw Alexander turned back, they carefully whispered in the past. Words come.

A seemingly inexplicable farce is over, but only the people around Alexander noticed that his face was gloomy at this time.

"Go tell our people, don't cross the center line of the town of Aural," Alexander ordered again, and he looked at the platform outside the town. He could vaguely see that there was a busy figure on the platform. He knew that it was Gompati. People are building temporary artillery camps.

A little bit of bitterness appeared in Alexander's heart.

"This battle may be more difficult to fight than thought."

When he knew that the troops of the Vatican League were actually heading towards Realo separately, Alexander already had a very bad hunch in his heart. He thought that Pitiliuno would choose, but he knew that if he was himself, then he would never Give up such a good God-given opportunity.

Concentrating the superior forces to break each one is almost the only way to win for countless generals for thousands of years. Alexander has no reason to believe that a professional soldier who has commanded the battle of Fornovo will not even know such a simple way to win.

It's just that although everyone understands it, the key is how to use it.

Alexander was not clear if Pitiruino really decided to take separate tactics when the Vatican League had not yet converged, where he would choose the battlefield, or who would attack first, but he still tried his best to make various preparations. .

When he heard that there was a necessary road ahead called the town of Oral, Alexander vaguely guessed that maybe this is the most ideal place for him to imagine for Pitiliuno.

The town of Aural, many years later, has become a well-known ancient battlefield because of numerous battles in history.

Countless people have come to this still prosperous town to rely on the ancient heroes and warriors, but no matter how emotional it is, no one can truly appreciate the feeling when standing on this land in person.

Now that Alexander is standing outside the town of Oral, the scouts he dispatched keep reporting to him what is happening near the town. He already knows that Genoa ’s 7000 reinforcements have finally left Taroko ’s camp, almost slowly After swallowing, he reached a place not far from Aural.

The scout soon brought a new situation. About a dozen miles away from Orla, they discovered the traces of the Venetians.

When he heard the news, Pressure Mountain was looking at Chasquina holding the meatloaf on the table and kept stuffing her mouth. She also politely took a few sips from the glass.

"I didn't expect Old Gurga to actually die." Alexander was somewhat surprised.

He originally thought that old Gulja had died in the chaos of Palermo's **** night.

However, compared to the old Gul Canon who survived, Chasquina's response to the news about Nashan was obviously greater.

"You mean you saw Nashan ?!" Chasquina stopped suddenly, her eyes wide and staring at Alexander. "Where is he now, why not come to us, don't he know what happened in the tribe now?" Things? "

Looking at Chasquina's excited and obviously disappointed look, Alexander seemed to understand a little bit why she would be so good for Sophia, but thinking about Nashan now being so mixed up in the Bohemian court, he After a while I didn't know how to explain to Chasquina.

Chasquina was obviously dissatisfied with Nashan. She sipped her wine and kept nagging. She did n’t even stop when she came to the door and whispered. Then she saw Alexander suddenly go out without saying a word. , Leaving her alone holding the meatloaf stupefied for a while, and then she didn't care to continue to make it so delicious that she couldn't stop the meatloaf and continued to stuff it in her mouth.

Alexander walked out of the house quickly. He was staying in a courtyard near the terrace in the southwest of the town.

All Genoese and Agri people have been arranged into the town, but many people are puzzled that Alexander not only ordered them to continue to go deep into the town of Aral, but also ordered Agri to start requisitioning some towns to look Very sturdy house.

"Maybe we will soon fight a war that none of us have experienced," Alexander explained to the Agris in this way, but he was not very worried that the Agris would adapt to what might be coming. Fight because most of them did n’t even touch any weapons a year ago.

The Genoese were more excited. Many of them were running around in the town. Although not many people defy orders and went deep into the center of the town, this already made Alexander feel a little headache.

Alexander did not think that Pitiliuno would expose his intentions for the 2,000 people in his district, so even if he had arrived near Aural, he was patiently waiting for the arrival of Genoa reinforcements.

How many people will be sent by Pitilino to snipe yourself and the Genoese?

Alexander felt that they should not exceed 15,000 people. After all, Giovanni's Holy See had approached Realo. Even if Pitiliuno wanted to send more troops, the Milanese would not agree to give up easily so that they could be in Romagna A stronghold.

"15,000 people," Alexander felt bitter in his mouth.

The battles he had previously commanded were not comparable to the upcoming battles with a strength of more than 25,000 on both sides. I thought of not only that the two sides were obviously at a disadvantage, but the worse thing was that the Genoese were not commanded by him. Maybe it will be the biggest crisis he faces after he goes to the battlefield.

Either glorious or sinking. When he decided to stir into this vortex of Romagna, he already knew that it would be like this. Now the situation is developing as he had guessed before.

It's just that this development is a bit too bad for Alexander.

In the distant town, the laughter of the Genoese mercenaries came. Those slick soldiers were not willing to stay in the camps arranged for them. Many people took advantage of the chaos to wander around the town, and some simply went to find women.

This is a mercenary.

Alexander felt helplessly thinking that mercenaries were actually synonymous with trouble in his memory.

In addition to the disintegration of military discipline, the conflict between mercenaries and employers is always endless, and worse, no one knows what mercenaries will do on the battlefield.

It is really difficult to change this status quo in today's era.

Alexander envyed Gonzalo somewhat. The strong background and position allowed Gonzalo to carry out his military reform without any worries. But if he wants to do like Gonzalo, it is almost impossible for Alexander now. Big problem.

However, it seems that it is too early. Alexander is facing a huge crisis. He is not careful, let alone build a new army like Gonzalo, and may even be killed in the battlefield. One of the many unlucky ghosts that is about to be forgotten.

Seeing Alexander frown slightly, Paul Busako whispered from the side: "Sir, will you send someone to call those Genoese back?"

Alexander pondered slightly, then shook his head gently.

For the Genoese, he is more concerned about the reinforcements from Genoa.

As for the possible enemies, Alexander clearly understood that it was impossible to resist with this strength in his own hands. The only real confrontation with the Venetians was the army from Genoa.

A rush of horseshoes came, and a few shaking figures that could not stop shaking immediately appeared from afar.

Alexander looked at them, and when he saw a knight in gorgeous armor in front, his mouth moved.

Although he had n’t seen him, he guessed that this man should be the commander of the Genoa runner-up Calgino.

For this cousin of the Lovere family, Alexander had heard of it more and more because of Barenti's reasons.

He knew that Calgino was not only a Genoese family like the Rovere family, but also that the historical Calgino family had an unusually prominent status as the head of the Republic of Genoa for a long time.

But these are not important, what Alexander knows is that this general should not have any good feelings for him.

He said this because he heard that Calgino had tried to propose to Barendi.

For whatever reason, the old Rovere did not finally agree to the marriage of Calgino and Barendi.

Constantine told him that after making the decision to send Montina, Constantine quickly told Alexander about it, because although it was not clear at that time which general sent Genoa to command the army, But Constantine has already pronounced "It must be Calgino".

From the information obtained later, Constantine's guess is undoubtedly correct, but this also shows the prestige and status of the Calgino family.

Calgino was covered with a full set of gorgeous armor. When he dropped the helmet and armor, there was no exposed area except for a pair of blinking eyes.

It would be this way. Alexander had only seen one person, the former French commander De Charlene stationed in Rome.

Looking at Alexandria, Calgino's eyes were still indifferent, with a hint of contempt, he didn't want to have too many contacts with a rural upstart who easily used a lucky marriage to enter the upper class of Genoa, or he felt that Alexander was standing In front of him, it was actually an insult to him.

"My army will be responsible for attacking the enemy together with the Borgia army, and you count, you can collect food and other supplies for us," Calgino said indifferently, and then did not forget to slightly ridicule Alexander "I I heard that you were driving into the city of Rome with a food truck. I think you must be good at doing these things. "

Alexander listened calmly to the sarcasm of Calgino. Although he knew that this person should not live in harmony with him, he was somewhat surprised by such a strong hostility.

"I think it is necessary to remind you of the general," Alexander looked at Calgino. "My scout found the scout of Venice a little further away from Aural, and I think Pitiliuno might take advantage of us. Did not meet with Borgia and took various tactics to break us. "

Calgino's eyes hidden behind the mask flickered slightly, he paused, and then raised his hand a little bit hard, lifting the shield to reveal his face for the first time.

Calgino is about 30 years old this year, but his appearance looks older than his actual age, because he keeps a pair of sideburns that are rare nowadays, which makes him look old.

The already tall figure was even stronger in armor. When he leaned forward, Alexander seemed to be covered by his shadow.

"Listen, I ’ve been on the battlefield with my father since I was 13 years old. I have participated in almost all the wars of the last 20 years, and I promise that every battle will be at the forefront, and you count, you have been these years There, did you take those farmers with you to do farm work in the country, so do you think you can direct me like a layman? "

Calgino glanced contemptuously at the musketeer standing in the distance.

"Look at your soldiers. They dare not face sharp spears, so they can only hide away and attack the enemy with muskets. Know that real knights are disdain to use that kind of cowardly weapon."

Calgino's voice was very high, and even the Ugri reading www.uukanshu.com heard even the Agri Musketeers in the distance.

There was a momentary dull commotion among the Musketeers, and the soldiers stared at Calgino, which immediately aroused the vigilance of the Genoese. For a time, the two sides were struggling, glaring.

Alexander raised his hand and swung backwards. He looked at Calgino and said softly, "So I want to know what you will do?"

"I will let my army stand east and front of Aural because it is the only way to reach Realo. If the Venetians really come, they can only pass in from there, and I will let them see the power of the Genoese. "

As Calgino said, he raised his feet and painted randomly on the ground. The sharp barbed hook on the tip of his armor made a deep mark on the ground. When he stopped, the Venetian looked up at Alexander.

"As for you, I just need to watch how I win."

Looking at the traces of dust on the ground, a helpless thought flashed in the mind of Alexander: "It really is like this ..."
