Conquer the Dawn of Heaven

Vol 4 Chapter 28: The meaning of victory

The fire was first ignited from the place where the gunpowder was piled up as far as Alexander had ordered.

Since ancient times, people have always been in awe of fire at all times.

When the fire suddenly burned, and then a series of fierce explosions occurred, both the Venetian on the mountain and the Agrig and Genoese under the mountain were frightened by the huge sound waves and the devastating destruction that erupted in an instant!

Chaos inevitably appeared. The entire Venetian camp was like a sudden tornado. The Venetians first thought that the camp was attacked, but they did not know where the enemy was. The destruction brought them into even greater confusion, especially when they found out that the position originally used to stand on the corner of the mountain road was actually occupied by an enemy who did not know where to come from. The Venetians were really panicked.

There was another violent explosion, but this was near, watching the soldiers running blankly and wondering what to do, the Venetian commander realized the danger.

He immediately ordered the recapture of the occupied position loudly while trying to get the soldiers to build up on the mountain road. He knew that the main force of the enemy should be preparing to launch an attack on the mountain, then they should be on the mountain road.

So as long as they block their way forward, they can get rid of this unexpected attack.

The commander is very calm, and can even say that the reaction is very fast, but when he lined up with his men who can keep up, he saw a scene that made him desperate.

Musketeers, spears, short halberds and shields, dense enemy formations are right in front of them, not at the corner of the mountain road where they once suffered heavy losses, but to have reached them very close, and their enemies are just as he thought It was prepared like that, so when the fire in the camp just ignited, they quickly approached the top of the mountain from the quietly hidden place.

Then, just as the Venetians attacked the pope army, the Aggris seized the Venetian chaos and suddenly seized the road leading to the camp on the hilltop.

The commander only had time to take a quick glance under the flashing fire from time to time, and then he and his men were caught in the attack by the crossbows projected by the unusually dense bullets and inclusions that were somewhat messy in.

The front spears pierced mercilessly against the enemies who tried to resist, even if the lucky ones could escape the spears of the spears, but the sharp and terrible short halberds and stab swords followed.

Chaos and order, when the two armies meet on the battlefield, these two very different situations often make the two sides fight immediately, when Venice, who can still organize and resist, encounters a headache, they originally The spirit that was shaken by the attack immediately collapsed.

At first some people were mixed into their already panicked companions, and the crowd running around in a panic affected the Venetians who still wanted to resist.

"Surrender or run away!" The enemies on the opposite side began to yell, from a single person to everyone who roared threateningly while assassinating and shooting.

"Surrender or escape!"

A louder and louder sound came from the opposite side, and the commander loudly reminded his men to calm down, but another musketeer, protected by a spear and short halberd from the side, interrupted him.

The two riflemen with less than 20 people in a row, but with dense firepower, stood in the middle of the spearman and shot at the enemy. They seemed so calm that even if the enemy rushed up, they were not panicked. In addition to their spears and short halberds in front of them, sword shields with shields were protecting them.

"The Musketeer is one of my greatest assets, so be sure to protect them like protecting your eyes."

This is Alexander ’s description. Although he knows that training a musketeer is much easier than training a crossbowman, he knows that in the future, firearms will be the key to winning and losing. The army with sharp firearms is the biggest bargaining chip.

Just like the Agri Musketeer, Alexander is now the biggest reliance.

The surrender of "surrender or run away!" Is still one after another on the battlefield, but the Venetians have no mood to refute or curse their enemies.

The first person who had run away was gone, and then more people joined the retreating stream.

The Venetian commander finally knew that he could not do anything. After uttering a helpless sigh, the flag beside him slowly fell.

When the flag of the big enemy fell, the Aggris seemed to pause for a while before they understood what was happening.

Cheers broke out in the two queues in an instant, and the Aggris even stopped their offense. While cheering, they blew a sharp whistle to the Venetian who also saw his flag drop and immediately turned around and ran away. The Genoese simply turned around and plopped on their butt, and at the same time used the most inferior Genoese dialect to satirize the enemies who escaped.

After lowering the flag and admitting defeat, the Venetian began to endure humiliation and silently withdrew from the battlefield under the mockery of the enemy in front of him.

When Alexander climbed to the top of the mountain surrounded by hunting guards. What he saw was such a strange scene.

Alexander's brow furrowed slightly, and he had to admit that this was not actually the result he wanted to see.

Or at least not the best result he imagined.

Just because one side lowered the flag to admit defeat, actually let the enemy retreat calmly under his own eyes. Alexander felt that there was nothing more absurd or even stupid than this.

It ’s just that he knows that this is probably the only way. Whether it ’s the Agri or the Genoese has actually reached a dangerous edge, supporting them to launch this is destined to be the last offensive. In addition to hope, Alexander promised to Their generous rewards.

As for where the rewards came from, Alexander's gaze turned to the spectacular, fleet-looking fleet.

Alexander had no intention of returning Giovanni the supplies he had recovered from the beginning.

Or maybe he will be left with enough food to support the army ’s meals, but looking at the replacement parts of the huge piles of armor and the artillery and ammunition that Giovanni has n’t had time to bring to the battlefield, and sealed with wax. It's very strict. After opening, the sweet taste of wine and the wrapped meat jerky appeared. Alexander felt that Giovanni's army seemed to be able to eat enough salted pasta.

So when the near attendants finally arrived at the camp, he saw that some numerous Aggris were busy counting the numbers, and Aufrei, who had temporarily served as an accountant with the army commander, was able to fly. Recording the various supplies in the entire camp, so that when the waiter angrily said that these things "all belong to the Duke of Gandino", he only had time to shake the bare pen in his hand like a fly, and then again Get busy.

"Sir, do you want to encroach on the property belonging to the Duke of Gandino?" The waiter angrily found Alexander, who had seen that these Aggris could not have been kind enough to help Giovanni calculate the loss, so they were in such a hurry The busy side of the statistics is also busy loading the car for the sake of knowing nothing.

"I am taking away my remuneration," Alexander replied casually while looking at the various statistical materials sent by his men. "Don't tell me that this is an obligation between the alliances. The huge losses I paid before must be Get rewarded immediately, know that I will continue to fight next. "

"But you took too much," the near servant, who knew that the matter was obviously irreparable, could only find a way to fight for less loss for his master. "You can take those weapons, but you can't take all the food away. , The Duke needs the food, and his army is starving! "

"I won't do that, even if I look at Miss Lucrezia's face," pressure mountain laughed. "I left him enough supplies to maintain the end of the war. He has no worries in the future. "

"But how do you know when the war is over? Maybe the leftover food will be eaten up soon, and by that time once the Duke's army has to retreat, do you think your Montina can keep it?"

The servant asked sarcastically. In addition to anger in his eyes, it was taunt. Obviously this is actually their inner view of Alexander.

Whether in Giovanni or his men's view, Alexander is a rootless upstart.

Such people in today's chaotic world will either fly up or fall like a meteor, and Alexander seems to them to be more of the latter.

Alexander raised his head and looked at the waiter silently. His eyes made the man feel a little chilly. It was a kind of indifference like seeing a dead person.

"Relax, I won't kill you," Alexander seemed to see through each other's ideas. "Go back and tell Giovanni that I will meet him after a period of trimming. The Venetian threat to him is gone, if he wants to launch It ’s the right time to attack, otherwise ... "Speaking of what Alexander stopped thinking, his forehead was slightly twisted, and after a while he was slightly disappointed and shook his head slightly." Tell him this. "

Jin Shi originally wanted to argue again, but was half forced out of the tent by the hunting guards. After annoying and swearing, Jin Shi had to leave Chimone's camp with full of anger.

"It seems that this war must be fought again."

Alexander stood on the edge of the camp, looking at the mountain beams that stretched out into the far plains like a protruding claw and murmured in disappointment.

Before teaching the waiter, Alexander suddenly remembered the impending war between Venice and the Ottoman Empire.

In this later intermittent war that lasted nearly three centuries, the attack on Venice in the Mediterranean territory by Ottoman Bayesert II will be the prologue to this long war.

What year was that, 1498 or 1499?

First, with some hope, Alexander soon became disappointed. Obviously, it was unrealistic to hope that the threat of the Ottomans forced Venice to withdraw its troops. At least for now, although the two sides have been fighting at the sea, the danger is not too great for the Venetian Can not bear to swallow the point of retreating from Romagna.

Then Alexander had to start thinking about his Montina.

Alexander was not worried that Giovanni would withdraw because of his indignation, because Alexander VI could not tolerate Venetian involvement in Romagna.

This can be seen from the fact that Caesar did not hesitate to appeal to the French for the title of Duke of Romagna.

Another reason why Alexander did not have too much scepticism about provoking Giovanni is that Caesar's challenge to Giovanni's status allowed him to perform as best as possible in this war.

As to whether Giovanni would take revenge afterwards, Alexander felt that he had no such time and opportunity.

But Alexander naturally thought of Lucrezia from Giovanni, but he didn't know what she was doing now.

For the strange relationship with Lucrezia that happened unexpectedly, Alexander himself did not know how to describe it.

Especially thinking that Caesar is still running for the marriage of Lucrezia and Duke Alfonso of Billy Shelley in Naples, Alexander feels that this is really something that makes many people feel inexplicable but do not know how to face it.

But Alexander could be sure that he would never be found dead in the Tiber River like the young servant who had an ambiguous relationship with Lucrezia.

It seems that Giovanni also died in the Tiber River. Alexander suddenly remembered it, and he really did not know how many secrets were hidden under the river.

Alexander thought about shaking his head slightly.

Carlo was running excitedly, and he was very happy or ecstatic at this time.

Although the previous battles caused the Aggris to suffer heavy casualties that had not been encountered before, Carlo knew that it was from this battle that the Agri talents truly became an elite army.

An army that can quickly reorganize and take the initiative to attack after a fierce blow is not lacking in this era, but it is pitifully rare.

Carlo has fought before, he knows how the mercenaries view the war, and how most mercenaries react when the battle becomes fierce, just like the ones they just faced fighting for the Venetians Like the army, those mercenaries chose to escape rather than continue fighting.

Carlo is actually very clear that the Agris are already on the verge of collapse. Maybe the Venetians only need to insist for a little longer, or just a light push, these Agris who have just barely recovered from the collapse of the collapse will be like a building The sandcastle on the beach was razed to the ground.

But that is only possible and possible after all.

The fact is that the Aggris have persevered, they have survived the most difficult test since they walked out of Agri!

Carlo was thankful that he knew his choice was right.

Because of that choice, he was able to enjoy the victory and joy of this moment with others. You can also enjoy the great wealth brought to them by this victory.

The Venetians have disappeared down the hill, and the Agrig and Genoese have begun a carnival in the camp.

The large barrel of wine was pryed open stiffly, and the whole piece of meat on the fire exuded an attractive aroma.

The soldiers frantically poured wine into their mouths, no matter how completely wet they were, while others surrounded the fire while roaring unsound tunes, and swayed under their feet in a tumultuous dance.

The victory brought everyone into crazy joy, and the whole camp was filled with happiness and excitement for the rest of the life.

From the fiasco of almost no hope to the victory over opponents standing on the top of this hill that heralded victory, Agri tasted the fruits of victory in exchange for their courage and tenacity for the first time.

Alexander walked slowly in the camp. Every soldier who saw him, whether he was an Agri or a Genoese, greeted him enthusiastically, and some stood up and wanted him to salute.

Alexander calmly responded to the soldiers, and he knew that it was from this moment that they really regarded him as their general rather than the lord.

If the lord only let the soldiers realize Alexander's distinguished identity, then as a general, Alexander has allowed them to obey his orders to face strong enemies because of trust.

"Sir, these artillery pieces are behind the camp, but the Venetians didn't seem to intend to use them against us." A young Agri soldier said excitedly, with a turned wound on his forehead, half of which was stained with mud and withered Bloody's dark face looked a little daunting, but there was unspeakable excitement in his eyes, and it seemed that he had not escaped from the previous battles and killings.

"It's not that they didn't think about it, they just didn't have time."

Alexander looked at the cannon body, which was darkened by the fire, and secretly rejoiced, he knew that this should be the Venetian's intention ~ www.ltnovel.com ~ or just because not many Venetian soldiers would use artillery, otherwise they just needed Build two forts on the mountain beams farther away from the camp to form mutual firepower with the camp. With the number and power of the artillery they use, they can easily suppress his army in this valley, even if it is a A bolder commander with a strong fighting spirit can simply let his army attack from the camp against the enemies suppressed in the valley.

By that time, what was waiting for Alexander was probably not just a fiasco, it was possible that he and his Agris would be completely ruined under the Chimone.

"But these artillery pieces are now ours, aren't we," the young soldier said proudly. "Maybe we can use them against the Venetian general called Pitiruno."

"I hope so too, but it depends on whether the Duke of Gandino is so generous." Alexander smiled, maybe he was not optimistic about this.

Alexander knew that it might not matter if he embezzled so many supplies, but these artillery Giovanni should not give up easily, especially when he followed the soldiers to the camp and saw them neatly placed in a vehicle After a few new field guns on the gun car, Alexander suspected that Giovanni would soon send someone again.

Or if the Duke of Gandino was really unsure, maybe he would simply come in and find himself a theory.

Alexander thought of this and couldn't help but chuckled, but he didn't know that after finally returning to the Giovanni camp to report what happened to him, Giovanni, who was so violent, really shouted that he should be asked to find it by himself. Alexander theory.

The reason why he didn't make a trip was because an unexpected guest suddenly came to his camp.
