Conquer the Dawn of Heaven

No one knows whether Alexander really has the ability to predict, but the Venetians did appear as speculated.

The early morning on May 3 was very cool, and the early summer breeze was slightly cool from the dense jungle.

The early birds have already flew out of their nests for food, and the woods are full of birds and flowers.

On the slightly raised **** not far east of the town of Aral, the Genoa camp also sounded the first drums of each day, and the camp gradually became lively.

The officers began to call the rolls. This is something that must be done every morning, because no one knows if there will be a coward who takes advantage of the midnight flight to become a deserter, or which guy who has been holding for too long runs to the town to fool around at night.

The corruption of mercenaries is well known, and sometimes such corruption can even determine the fate of an army.

Just 2 years ago, when Charles VIII swept the entire peninsula with his invincible army, he never thought that one of the culprits that ultimately defeated his soldiers was actually rampant in his army. Syphilis.

The French's romance, or simply the dissipation, caused Charles VIII to suffer a big loss, and this did not scare others.

Those mercenaries were still looking for women everywhere with impunity, and they always ganged up and never placed orders. Even when many places broke out, syphilis was rampant, and even many nobles were not spared.

The sound of one after another sounded on the slope, so no one noticed the two black dots running from a distance. The sentinels did not find the two men until they were approaching.

The Genoese scout's face was pale, which was not scared but running.

When the two men were brought to the camp commander, it took a long time for the nervous scouts to cry out loudly: "The Venetian, the Venetian, they have a lot!"

The commander's eyes were a bit gloomy. He didn't know how these two scouts were stupid enough to describe the enemy with a lot of unprofessional words, although he guessed that it was probably because of the large number of enemies that they were so abnormal. But the commander picked up the glass of cold water from the side table and poured it.

The scout was suddenly sobered, and one of the water drops on his head quickly said: "Sir, the Venetian is here. We saw the cavalry in front and some infantry in the back. The specific number is about 10,000 people."

"10,000 people," the commander's original expressionless face was a bit unnatural. He knew that even with the addition of Alexander's army, he had no more than 10,000 people, and this was only a rough guess after the observation. " How far are they from here? "

"About 5 miles or more, we came back from a short cut, but we didn't dare to pass through the forest, because there seemed to be their people in the forest." The scout thought for a while, "We don't know what they are in the forest. The number of people is certainly a lot. "

The commander finally panicked. He now has only 1,000 people, which means that he may have to face ten times, or even ten times more enemies, which makes him unable to calm down.

He told him to prepare a horse and greeted the scouts to let them follow him to the town. At the same time, he issued a command to guard the whole army.

I do n’t know who sent the news of the Venetian army ’s pressure. The atmosphere in the camp was tense. The soldiers hurried to pack their things. These like to bring money to the body. The mercenaries are all bulging, looking Like a large group of funny fat people, but their faces are very gloomy, or numb. Years of killing have made many of them completely give up their vision of the future. For mercenaries, women are warm every night The body is more effective than prayer and wish.

Calgino got up early, so when the forward commander arrived, he saw him sweating and wielding his epee.

Calgino's sword is a two-handed sword used by typical northerners. For a nobleman who grew up in a city famous for its elegance, this weapon is a bit too rough, but Calgino's sword is controlled by it. But he stretched out his hand quite a bit, and as the epee flipped alternately in his hands, the sharp blade split into the air with whistling flashes.

If Alexander watched this scene here, he might think that in terms of interest, this Calgino is quite similar to Sophia.

"Sir, the Venetian is here."

Seeing Calgino, the originally nervous commander's mood gradually calmed down, and following the commander's multiple victorious experiences made him suddenly feel that the Venetian was not so terrible.

"How many people?" Calgino asked, waving his epee without stopping.

"A Venetian army of about 10,000 people is marching us 5 miles away. In addition, they also found that there should be Venetians in the forest, but the number is not very clear."

Calgino stopped, he walked over to the sink and picked up a bucket full of fresh water and raised it over his head. The clear water like a waterfall instantly wetted his body.

"That Gombre was right," Calgino looked southeast of the town. "He probably put the camp so far because he guessed the Venetian would come."

"That Gumbre is a coward," said a servant next to Calgino, scrubbing his body. "He probably played the idea of ​​running away as soon as he saw the Venetian turn the team back and turn around."

The few Genoese next to him laughed. Calgino's calmness made the tension that first heard the Venetians gradually disappear, and the attendant's joke made them rare and relaxed before the war.

Calgino didn't smile, he picked up the short sword from the side shelf and played with it in his hand, while frowning slightly thoughtfully.

"The Venetian will attack from our front."

Calgino began to speak to himself at first, and all of his surroundings were immediately quiet. His men knew that Calgino was using his extensive war experience to speculate about their enemies. Perhaps he would give orders soon, and then They battled the life and death of the Venetians on the battlefield.

"There are more of them than we are. If we guess correctly, we might have twice as many troops as us, that is, 15,000 people." Calgino naturally ignored Alexander. "If they are not going to expel, but intend to destroy us, The only way for the Venetian was to send an army directly through the jungle and around us. "

Speaking of this, Calgino looked up suddenly, and he watched as he waited for the order from his side: "Call the whole army immediately, we may be in trouble."

Calgino's words made several people tense in an instant, and their commander rarely had such gaffes in their memory, and each time this often meant that the situation was imminent.

The whole town of Oral was instantly turbulent, and the voices were furious. The residents of the town immediately discovered that the whole town had suddenly become a large barracks, full of soldiers rushing with weapons, and those with gorgeously dressed mouths. The officer swearing.

The bells and whistles of mercenary hats dangled on the street, and the clashes of spears and shield swords flew up and down, and then there was verbal abuse and quarrels.

The slightly bleak horn echoed over Aural, and the residents of the town looked nervously indifferently at the genoese rushing in and out. They stared at each passing soldier with vigilance, seeming to guard them at all times It's like stealing something.

A soldier shouted and passed by the door of a house. His eyes glanced at the woman standing at the door, which made the man next to him look hard. He dragged the woman to the door and left only the soldier outside Laughing loudly.

"Don't worry about you idiot, we will fight with the Venetian soon, maybe the Venetian will find you to collect food tomorrow."

The soldier called out to the door where he had entered for a while, then raised his hand to draw a cross across his chest.

"God bless, if I can survive this time, I will definitely be the most devout believer, I will get rid of all bad things and become a good person, it is better to find another woman to marry, and never do this kind of adventure again. "

The soldier kept mumbling in his mouth. He followed the previous companion and moved forward. He first merged into a squad and then followed a large group. When he and other soldiers gathered on the main road of Oral town, When the town rushed outside, the whole road was already packed with a team of Genoese.

Calgino rode at once looking at the army rolling in front of his eyes, a flash of excitement flashed across his face.

Although he has been on the battlefield for many years, Calgino will have this kind of tension and excitement that is difficult for people around him to see before every battle.

Calgino didn't know if it was fear, but this feeling made him more alert and alert, which allowed him to often smell dangerous smells at critical moments, which made Calgino feel that he had simply come from The gift of God.

"Sir, what about that Gombré?"

A gentleman reminded softly that although most of the time when they talked about Barendi's fiance, they were all kinds of cynicism, but now when facing enemies that may be twice or more than they are, Genoese finally think of those from the beginning. They were regarded as purely behind the Aggris.

"Maybe let them protect our flanks," the other man said slightly hesitantly, and then seemed to think that his suggestion was a bit ridiculous and shook his head. "Give my side back to the farmers. I might be crazy. This idea. "

Calgino waved his hand slightly. He took a deep breath and calmed the excitement slightly. Then, after a while, a sharp edge flashed in his eyes.

"Out of town, the Venetians may come faster than we thought."

Calgino watched the command given by the team slowly advancing on the road.

For a time, the cries of the heralding soldiers spread one after another on the street toward the distance.

At the urging of the officers, the Genoese began to speed up, and the heavy crossbowmen panted across their companions. They needed to form a formation earlier than the others. More importantly, these heavy crossbowmen were still shouldered Keep your responsibility on the road to Oral town.

"I won't trust my safety to others," Calgino said to his men. "If I could, I would rather believe that the contract sailors would not trust the Naples."

Calgino's words caused a burst of laughter all around, and people knew who the contract sailors he was talking about were no more infamous than the contract sailors in Genoa, even those who made money from contracts selling these people The brokers are also reluctant to have too much communication with the contract sailors.

Even though it is called a sailor, no shipowner will treat those people as real sailors, so that some ships will find that after signing a treaty for a period of time, they will find that there are fewer contractors.

No one would be interested in the whereabouts of these people, because the contract sailors were originally people who had been abandoned because of various previous demerits. Some of them were once thieves and some were debtors. The Genoese government called them to force They signed a contract so that half of every copper coin they earned would be owned by the Genoa government, and they would not be free until they repaid their debts or fines.

So when he heard Calgino comparing Alexander with the contract sailor, the Genoese couldn't help laughing.

When Calgino compared Alexander to the lowly contracted sailor who seemed to him, Alexander was standing on the roof of a house and looking towards the east of the town.

The town of Aural is very large, which makes it difficult to observe, especially the uneven roofs, which will soon be dazzling.

Because the roof is very high, you can roughly see the whole town.

The restlessness of the Genoese did not escape Alexander's attention. Considering the report of the encounter with the Venetian scout, Alexander realized that Venice should have arrived.

The Aggris had entered the area where they were arranged according to the order, while the Genoese were a little dazed. They did not understand why they had not assembled in line, but completely disrupted the scattered and ordered to enter the houses that had been collected before, and When they saw that the Agri actually began to demolish the house under Carlo's command, many Genoese regretted to stay.

"Carlo, do you know what you should do?"

Alexander asked again, he needed everyone to understand their responsibilities.

"Guard Alar!" Carlo replied loudly. He looked at Alexander nervously, not knowing why he felt that the distance between him and the lord was getting farther and farther. Carlo understood that if he was in Aral this time Fighting can no longer allow Lord Lord to see that he still has enough usefulness, then he may no longer be able to keep up with Lord Lord ~ ​​www.ltnovel.com ~ and may not even be able to maintain his current status.

After all, the Gompati, called "The Butcher", was coming on a rampage. If he didn't stare at the position of the chief officer next to Alexander, Carlo couldn't believe it.

Alexander was very clear about Carlo's thoughts, but he didn't break the point. After all, whether he could continue with him depends on whether everyone can shoulder their responsibilities.

A hunter may be a captain in Agrig, but in Rome, maybe he can only be a captain.

"How is Comparty?"

Alexander did not want to disguise his emphasis on Compati, especially now, when another scout brought him the discovery of the Milan cavalry 2 miles away, Alexander could not help but look back at the platform outside the town.

On May 3, 1497, under the ingenious deployment of Venetian General Pitilino, the Milan-Venice coalition accurately intercepted Genoa and Monti trying to support Montina in the town of Aural, halfway to Montina. Count Na's army.

This is where the Battle of Oral begins!
