Conquer the Dawn of Heaven

Vol 4 Chapter 9: Oral's War (2)

For the Genoese, the Aggris are undoubtedly the youngsters who will not fight at all. These soldiers who have been on the battlefield for too long have unscrupulous sarcasm and even no cover-up.

When they knew that their commander and the earl who also mocked each other, Genoa was completely free of scrutiny. They began to talk loudly and deliberately in their camps, and they used various provocative small actions on the road to deliberately provoke Agri people.

Even their companions, who were sent to fight the Aggris, satirized them together. They called these companions a group of fools and nanny, and some people greeted them to hurry back to their side.

Some of the 1,000 Genoese did leave quietly. After they went back, they called back to the original teammates. For a time, the Genoese under Alexander became somewhat turbulent.

Calgino does not care about this kind of thing. In his view, if the commander cannot restrain his army, it is an incompetence. Since incompetence, there is no need for sympathy, not to mention his sympathy will not be wasted. People who ruined his future.

Calgino was concerned about when the Venetian would appear.

Calgino did not ignore the warning against Alexander. Instead, he considered from the beginning that he might have to face an enemy whose strength is better than his own.

Calgino was not bragging. His experience on the battlefield since he was 13 years old really taught him a lot. He can guess the weather in the next few days from the dampness of the air, and also from the tweets of night birds on the road. Whether there is an enemy sneak attack, he even followed a number of scholars to learn a lot about how to calculate the military supply.

Calgino was not a reckless man, on the contrary he was a calm and wise soldier.

Calgino has his own opinion on where the Venetian will appear.

When he sent a scout to observe the town of Oral, he noticed the topography of the east of the town.

A large number of forests in the east of Oral town leading to Realo are a big trap for Calgino. He believes that if the enemy wants himself, then that forest is a good ambush battlefield.

Unlike Giovanni, because of his limited strength, Calgino will not think that the forest is a double-edged sword for both sides. He knows that if there is a 10,000-person army ambushing near the forest, it will be a nightmare for him. Too.

And Calgino knew that if the Venetians really wanted to destroy themselves first, they would not just send an army of 10,000.

"You said how many Venetians will be waiting for us in front?"

Calgino asked this question to his men, at this time he had taken off his armor, but the tall and burly figure still seemed to be the most conspicuous among a group of people.

"That Naples man was right, the Venetians were really going to attack us," Calgino looked at the map on the table and tapped on the place where the forest was drawn. "Trust me, I think if there is no 15,000, The Venetians dare not attack our ideas casually. "

"They and the Milanese have a total of about 32,000 to 33,000 people, do you think that Pitiliuno is to leave less than 20,000 people to monitor Pogia?" A sceptical look under his hands "Adult, this is actually a Good chance, if Pogia takes advantage of this time to march, maybe we can also break through the enemy. "

His words made Calgino laugh, but it seemed ironic to see how it looked.

"Listen to what you say, this is why I might become the governor of Genoa in the future, and you will always be a soldier," Calgino said with a slightly sneering shake of his head. "You think Giovanni Borgia will To help us so honestly, I can bet with you at this time that he is either slowly turning around in the same place, or he is wondering how to win Realo without effort but without losing much strength, but he is the only one who has not. All I have thought is to help us. "

Speaking of Calgino, he lipped his lips indifferently and continued: "But I don't blame him. In fact, I also think so, otherwise we will continue to consume Taroko to refuse to go further."

Calgino's words caused a burst of laughter all around, and it was clear that the Genoese had a good day in Taroko.

"But the Gombré actually thought that the Venetian would break each one, but he underestimated him."

Calgino whispered in his mouth, and then he looked back at the soldiers standing a little further away. One of them had not completely swollen eyes, and it looked as if there was something bulging under his eyelids.

"Did you say that the Neapolitan man arranged his army southwest of the town?"

"Yes," a soldier replied, "we saw that his army is in the southwest of the town, and he also requisitioned a lot of houses, and it seems that there are also his people on a high platform outside the town."

"What did that Gombré want to do?" Calgino looked a little strangely at another simple map next to it. It was the terrain of the town of Oral that he had just painted for him. Although rough, at least he can still see a rough look "Does he want to just shrink away in Aural? Or does he think he can escape the Venetian?"

Calgino's gaze moved quickly on the map until it finally fell near the plateau that the soldier had just said.

"Come here and tell me where the platform is."

Calgino greeted the soldier. When he saw the soldier's fingers draw a circle in the southeast direction of the town, Calgino's eyes narrowed slightly.

At the same time a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.

"That Gumbre, what did he want to do?" An officer leaned over and looked at the map. "Adult, unless I want to escape, I can't think of why he kept his army in southwest Aurar."

"You said he was running away?" Calgino glanced at the officer.

"What else can he have behind him is the road to Pisa, and because of the North Arno River, as long as he wants to escape, there is no need to worry about being caught by the Venetians." The officer said with a sneer. I do n’t know how the Earl of Montina is fighting, but I still admire his ability to think about retreating. "

This person's playful words caused a lot of laughter from the others, but when they saw Calgino's expressionless expression, the laughter gradually lowered.

Calgino glanced coldly at his men, then lowered his head and continued to watch the map.

There was a silence in the room, and the Genoese were waiting for their commander to make a judgment.

"He didn't want to run away," Calgino suddenly broke the silence, his long fingers tapping on the map several times. "He's here to wait for the enemy."

"Sir, do you mean that Gombre really thought the Venetian would attack us?"

Looking up at a man with a puzzled face, Calgino said lightly: "It's not just Gomblay, I think so."

"Don't stop, be firmer, be firmer!" The urges made the soldiers irritable. If they weren't afraid of getting whip, many of them already wanted to throw the tools on the ground and stopped moving.

No one can think of how Gumpatti, who has always liked artillery, suddenly became a construction maniac. This mercenary, who is still holding the title of Captain of the City of Pisa, now has his upper body stripped, and he has no idea The spears he snatched from him, while screaming, slammed the soldiers with the spear's tail handle.

"Move, move, this is war. Do you know, it is war!"

Gompati ’s voice was roaring dumb, he urged everyone he could see to work hard, and then his figure sprang up and down on the entire platform, he would use his hand The spears slammed the gun mounts that had just been built, and once they found that the soil was loose, Gompati would swear and scream, and then forced the soldiers to reinvigorate.

"Don't you know how to work, then let me teach you!" Gompati yelled and kicked the anti-retreat wall in front of him, and then pointed to the place where he stamped out the concave footprints. Scolding the soldiers next to you, "Do you think my feet will be stronger than the artillery, listen well? If you can't make this stronger, I will choose one of you to stand behind this. Wait for the gun to fire, and then you pray that God can pity you. "

After he finished speaking, he threw his spear violently and continued to walk forward to find the next person waiting to be scolded.

The whole platform is busy, people are carrying stones, stacking gun mounts, and placing the guns again and again according to the method that Gompati did not know where to learn, while the other part of them are carefully packed in wooden barrels The gunpowder moved to the platform to hide later.

When Alexander came to the platform, he saw from a distance that Gompati was lying beneath an artillery, stretching out his hands while measuring the grotesque whispering nonstop in his mouth.

Seeing Alexandria, Compatti immediately got up, no matter how dirty he was, but asked with some worried but faint excitement: "Master, what do you think, our artillery has been arranged "He said, his expression became slightly dignified." But do you really think the Venetian will attack us? "

Not that I thought, Alexander said helplessly.

"They will come. Calgino is arranging his army in front of the town." Alexander stood on the edge of the platform and looked down at the whole town. "He should have thought that the Venetian might attack him in the forest, so he wanted to use the town As a backing, back up when necessary. "

"Did he think about it, I thought he would be stupid." Compatiti disagreed.

"Kargino is a veteran on the battlefield, he will not be so stupid," Alexander smiled softly. He knew that his men were very dissatisfied with the sarcasm of the Genoese, but he couldn't take care of it at this time.

For Alexander, the upcoming battle is too important.

Calgino probably already guessed that Giovanni might take advantage of the situation, but Alexander thought more.

Will Giovanni take the opportunity to capture Montina?

This idea never lingered as soon as it appeared, and the natural mistrust of the Borgia family was not reduced because of the ambiguity with Lucrezia.

Instead, Alexander became more careful with the family.

A melodious piece of music came from the town, which was a sign that the Genoese ended their day's business.

You can vaguely see the figure of the Genoese who arranged the army in the open space that Chasquina said before, and you can also see a group of Genoese people leaving the town and slowly advancing from the road leading outside the town to the east .

"The Genoese acted."

Alexander whispered to himself, although he knew that Calgino would do so, but seeing this scene, Alexander still sighed.

Calgino is undoubtedly an experienced soldier, but he has his own plans and attempts behind his seeming arrogance.

Instead of leaving his army completely in town, Calgino chose to send some troops to occupy the open area east of the town, which was undoubtedly a deliberate decision.

Calgino had clearly considered that the Venetian might take the initiative to attack him, and in order to ensure that his army would not be blocked in the town, he must occupy a favorable terrain outside the town.

Looking at the Genoese gradually disappearing on the road to the east of the town, Alexander looked calm, but only when he looked back at the half-built gun seats, there was a flash of excitement in his eyes.

"Tell me Gompatti, if you can guarantee that these artillery can exert their maximum power?"

Alexander's question made Gompati understand something with just a stunned mind ~ www.ltnovel.com ~ He rubbed his hands hard with excitement, but then shook his head angrily.

"I can guarantee that each gun is the best. In my opinion, they are much cuter than women, but you know, we do n’t have a chance to calibrate the artillery. If I can shoot one shot, yes, just one shot. , I can guarantee that the artillery looks like it has long eyes. "

Gompati said excitedly, he turned and slapped the artillery around him, then looked at Alexander with expectation.

"I can't meet your request."

Alexander said a little helplessly that he had the illusion that as long as he was a little slack, Gompati might actually take a building in the town as a target. Looking at his eyes, Alexander could n’t help but flash the “butcher” in A well-known name in Pisa.

"But even then I still ask you to ensure that these artillery can exert their power," Alexander continued, and he walked to the edge of the platform, looking to the east that was gradually enveloped by darkness, where a dark twilight covered the earth in the night. Under the curtain of everything, everything seemed blurred, and Alexander raised his finger to the distance. "Just there, I can feel that the Venetian has come."
