Conquer the Dawn of Heaven

Vol 3 Chapter 121: The beginning of the war

In mid-January 1497, as a messenger sent by the coalition commander Gonzalo came from the north, a conclusive message spread in the city of Rome.

The French army outside Piedmont finally could not resist the siege of the coalition forces. After being rejected by the Piedmontese into the city, the French had to retreat towards Nice on the third day after the New Year.

When the news spread, all of Rome was excited.

At first it was in other parts of the city of Rome. Later, even the Romans in the south of the city controlled by the French also took to the streets. They cried out loudly in praise of God, and some people simply lit up a pair of people wearing a crown. It ’s not like it, but you can guess who ’s portrait if you think about it.

At the same time, the coalition forces stationed outside Rome finally acted!

When the French saw that the coalition flag that had been confronting them for nearly half a year in the distance began to move, they still felt a little strange. After all, it was too long to be together so that they might even forget the fact that the two sides are fighting.

Therefore, when a team of infantry of the Allied Forces began to cross the narrow and narrow passage of the tacit understanding between the two sides, the French were still a little confused.

Until there was a thunderous loud noise in the distance, and then a huge black shadow rolled from behind a mound on the opposite side and slammed into the slow formation of the French soldiers!

Screaming and flying into the sky with the crushed residual limbs, the frontmost person left only a large pile of rotten meat in a moment, when the plasma mixed with broken meat and bones splashed on other people's faces, chests In the past, many people didn't even know what happened.

The war came suddenly in this unexpected sudden!

It was not too late when De Charlene rushed out of the city. Unlike other French people who were only angry at the sudden occurrence of the Romans in the city, as a general with rich war experience, De Charlene Think more than everyone else.

Although the news was brought by the coalition messengers, De Charlene was still keenly aware of the dangers that might occur.

He immediately rushed out of the city with all the available troops around him, and prayed secretly in his heart that all was not as bad as he thought.

But the fact is that when he rushed to the French camp outside the city, the scene he saw was not only worse than he had thought before, but also gave him a sense of crisis that everything would collapse at any time.

There were scattered French troops everywhere, and there were soldiers at a loss. De Charlene even saw several French cavalry running aimlessly around the position while leaving them. Not far away, a team of coalition infantry had surrounded a French defense, and a group of soldiers with different dresses and different flags had even begun to climb from a gentle **** towards the rampart.

The scene in front of him made De Charlen angry, and he immediately ordered his men to fight. While ordering the people around him to collect those French soldiers who seemed to have completely turned into a group of casual soldiers, he began to urge on the battlefield. The horse ran wildly and shouted the name of the defending general.

But the answer received by De Charlene was hard for him to accept.

Maybe even God had abandoned the French army at this time, just when the coalition army just tentatively fired the first gun, the shell was accurately dropped into the French army lineup that was being organized, and then it was accidental Coincidentally, he directly smashed the defending commander into a pile of meat!

At the beginning of the war, the French forces had not formally engaged in battle, and the French had lost their generals on the front!

There was a rumbling sound in the distance, and de Charlene looked through the smoke at the looming marching team on the undulating slopes, and his face became better and more gloomy.

"Adult, we will fail in this way," a knight finally whispered in the back. Although admitting failure is a very difficult thing, when he saw the enemy who was slowly approaching, his own army was like a group. When headless flies everywhere, even the bravest knight becomes pessimistic.

De Charlene did not reprimand his men. When he saw the formation of the coalition that could be carried out in an orderly manner despite the small number of people, he knew that he might face a test that had never been experienced.

De Charlene pulled out his sword, and his black armor was very conspicuous on the battlefield, which made him attract the attention of the enemy while being noticed by his own people. He even saw him far from the opposite side. A few of the knights in the coalition who were originally behind the queue were escaping from the formation gap and approaching in his direction.

"France," Charlene shouted, "For France and the King!"

The black knight drove the horse rein forcefully, and when he saw the coalition approaching closer and closer, he could not help drawing a cross on his chest.

Then with the sound of roaring guns coming and going, the oncoming projectile flew around with a sharp sound!

Alexander once again saw Giuliano de la Rovere, the second day of fighting outside the city.

Since Sophia left, Alexander has kept himself in the room, except for dinner he only walked out of the room. At other times he kept the door closed, which made the atmosphere in San Marino Palace look very depressed, even if it was nominally the palace Joanna, the owner, could not help but be careful.

Until the news that the coalition outside the city began to attack the stationed French army, Alexander came out of the room. He ignored the surprised eyes of the people around him, but directly ordered Uliu to the Rovere ’s house. 'S villa ran a trip and asked to meet the archbishop.

Della Rovere not only gave a reply soon, but also promised to see him.

So when Alexander rushed to Rovere ’s villa, it was already afternoon.

Although the Rovere family has been in Rome for a long time, and even settled in Rome two generations ago, they still retain some of the habits of the northerners, especially because of their previous connections with some German nobles. There are always traces of northern nobles in the customs. In this regard, it is the Borgia family that quickly incorporated into the Rome-like luxury and slightly decadent atmosphere. It is difficult to find it from Barron. The traces of West Asia are gone.

The Luo Weilei family still adheres to the habit of eating two meals a day. When Alexander came to the villa, it happened to catch up with the Luo Weilei family just had lunch in the afternoon. They sat together and discussed the fighting that was erupting outside the city.

The men were obviously more interested in the war that was going on. They sat arguing endlessly, some of them simply pushed away the table and used the table as a battlefield. The women were obviously tired of this topic, and Although the battle outside the city seemed remote to them, the troubles caused by this made them unbearable.

Because the people attending the luncheon were not only the Archbishop and his children, but also other members of the Rovere family in Rome, the arrival of Alexandria caused some little waves.

In response to the enquiries of several young people, some of them looked hostile, and Alexander realized that he seemed to be less popular in this family.

"I think you should feel that you are not a good guest anymore," Constantine was standing on the steps without welcoming him. Even now, he still doesn't think Alexander can be worthy of Barendi. "You probably don't know, in fact There are many people in my family who really want to marry Barenti. This includes the son of my uncle Rafael and the brother of his wife. "

But those people are now useless to your father, who is an archbishop, Alexander said secretly.

Seeing Alexander's silent expression, Constantine said nothing more, but waved his hand to signal him to walk into the villa with himself.

The figures of several guards flashed from the courtyard of the villa, which could not help attracting Alexander ’s attention. Constantine smiled slightly when he looked at the guards, "These are some mountain mercenaries, these people are all Very strong and brave. Compared to them, I think that Caesar's army protecting the Vatican is a toy for a group of children. "

Nodded silently under pressure, this time he quite agreed with Constantine. After all, compared with the Swiss mercenaries wearing fin helmets and half-breasted breastplates, Caesar's army has never been on the battlefield so far. , It's still a long way off.

Giuliano de la Rovere was reading a book. When Alexander came in, the archbishop did not pretend to continue to stare at the book, but took a piece of paper on the table as a bookmark and marked it aside.

"So, are you willing to talk now?" Della Rovere asked.

The archbishop's attitude of not wanting to waste time on both sides made Alexander quite agree. He was tired of the hypocritical red tape, and he just wanted to let it all pass as soon as possible.

"I will be engaged to your daughter," Alexander said, and he came this time for this. "At the same time, I will also write to the count, believing that he will be able to contact the Bishop of Naples soon."

The Archbishop listened with his hands against his lips with his fingers, and when he got a satisfactory answer, he came over and looked at Alexander: "Listen to me knowing that you are very dissatisfied with that girl, and I do not deny that I did exert some influence , After all, this is related to too many people, but fortunately everyone is satisfied, so this matter should be over. As for you and Barenti, I hope you treat her better, know that she is my favorite Daughter, if you are willing to take a closer look at her, you will find that she has a lot of things that deserve your attention. "

"Yes, I admit, I will try to get along with her." Alexander nodded, knowing that Rovere did not make a mistake. Compared with the ladies of the nobles now, Barendi de la Rovere is no doubt It is a very unique one. Although her appearance can only be described by ordinary, she is indeed a noble woman with a special aspect in this era.

Della Rovere seemed to be quite satisfied with Alexander ’s attitude. He turned back to the chair he was sitting on and picked up the book that he had placed next to it. Alexander noticed that it was a handwritten title on the cover of the book, Church Code .

"It hasn't been formally written yet," Luo Weilei saw Alexander slightly noticed the book in his hand. "I hope one day I can see that it is actually promulgated."

Hopefully seeing the promulgation of a code, Alexander clearly felt the ambition revealed in the archbishop's words, or simply the vigorous ambition.

Since Siscos IV, the Loviré family has been slightly inferior, but it is still one of the most influential families in Rome. However, after Alexander VI ascended the throne, all this changed a little. Giuliano was even once Forced to flee to France to take refuge, although the Rovere family returned to Rome by the momentum of the French King Charlie, many people felt that it would not be so easy for the family to want to be like that time.

But Giuliano did n’t seem to think so. Looking at the handwritten manuscript in his hand, Alexander could feel his irresistible ambition, maybe now, when others are still fighting for a cardinal seat. When he had broken his head, Giuliano's eyes were already on the pope's throne.

To be the son-in-law of a pope? Alexander suddenly felt that what happened in front of him was somewhat untrue.

He knew that he would think so, only because it was only an engagement after all, and in fact there were too many examples of disengagement after the engagement. This is a dazzling history of marriage as long as you think about Lucrezia ’s colorful and colorful I know.

Alexandria is not very optimistic about how long this marriage between him and Barendi will last.

Giuliano de la Rovere, a character with the title of Pope of the Gods of War in the future, Alexander did not think he would be satisfied with marrying his daughter to the nephew of the Earl of Naples, maybe now he really needs such a marriage contract, but how about the future It's hard to say.

At this moment, Alexander saw that the Archbishop opened the manuscript ~ www.ltnovel.com ~ took out the paper that was used as a bookmark from the pages of the book.

"You should already know about things outside the city," the archbishop looked at Alexandria. "The French have withdrawn from Piedmont. Now the coalition forces are attacking. It may not take long before the French outside the city can be wiped out."

Alexander nodded. It was because of this that he finally came out of his room.

Although he hid in the room these days, he was not immersed in the pain and sadness of parting as many people thought.

He is preparing for the upcoming changes.

As he said to Sophia before, with the advent of 1497, Rome will be caught in a turmoil that is about to happen, and it is only just beginning.

"The French are in need of help at this time," the archbishop handed the paper to Alexander. "I want you to do this."

Looking down at the paper in his hand, when he saw that this was a letter to the coalition commander, the first thought in Alexander's mind was that his future father-in-law wanted to pit him!
