Conquer the Dawn of Heaven

Vol 5 Chapter 70: Battle of the 3 Danubes (9)

When the last afterglow of the night disappeared behind the mountains in the distance, Bucharest city did not quiet down as the night fell.

On the contrary, the whole city is brightly lit, and some places are full of human voices.

In the stable, beside the leather workshop, in the carpenter's workshop and in the small square with water wells, you can see the emotional crowd everywhere.

And in the pubs, some people who are usually active are now important people who are sought after. Some of them are arguing with others, while others are holding wine glasses and jumping on the table and shouting, and all There is only one topic of all this, and that is about the Earl from Rome!

"The Vatican did not abandon us. They sent a great general to help save us. He is now outside the city, fighting the Ottomans. We should help that person, just like he came a long way to help We are the same!"

Some people kept yelling loudly, while others used more spicy words to satirize those nobles.

"They want to hide behind thick walls to escape, but do they think Bucharest will be stronger than Constantinople, if we only want to rely on those walls to save our lives, we will one day be like the Constantinople. The Ottomans completely killed. "

People were obviously influenced by these fierce views. They began to worry about their own destiny, and then were moved by the brave foreigner's righteous act. Later, more and more people felt that they should go out of the city bravely.

"Outside, right now, some people are fighting the Ottomans, but we hide behind the city walls cowardly. Is this the purpose of our coming to Bucharest," someone stood up and said to the soldiers so violently, "We have sworn before To be loyal to the princess, it is now time to prove our promise with action. "

"If we do this, it means that we can have more say when it comes to building alliances," and when facing the nobles, someone is moving them with more practical interests. "King Ladislas It seems that he should be the sure leader of this alliance, but even so, we should be someone who can speak for us. "

"Then do you want to tell us that the count is this person?" A noble asked the lobbyist in this way.

"No," the Gilas Knight, who had just returned to Bucharest not long ago, said to the nobles in front of me, "I want to talk about the princess. Our princess will become a representative of all of us. We all know that the princess should have been On the side of the king, it is precisely because of this that Ladislas will convene this alliance meeting, but now there are obviously some changes, the princess will become our leader, she will come forward to safeguard our interests, In this way, we have the opportunity to compete with the king, but whether this can be achieved depends on whether you are willing to help us. "

"So how do you want us to help you?" In another place in the city, Zepes also persuaded some powerful nobles, and he also promised them enough to impress those people, which made those nobles finally determined. .

"We need your army, I know that the Ottomans are terrible, but you should also know that if you want to get enough benefits, you must take enough risks, not to mention that we all know that the peace is just the king's own plan, Bayesett may It ’s a benevolent Sudan, but not all Ottomans are like him, so if we do n’t want to be slaves to the Ottomans, your only option is to climb out of your army and let the Ottomans know that we are not afraid of them. ”

Throughout the night, there were people in almost every corner of Bucharest, and at the same time, Sophia, which had everyone's attention, walked up to the city wall again.

She was standing on the city wall wearing her striking armor, ignoring the bitter cold wind of the early spring night pouring into the coldness of the armor seam, he stood so silently on the wall for a long time, and people could still see her staring until late at night. A black figure outside the city.

Sophia's move touched many people, and many Greek nobles followed the city wall to accompany her. They declared their support for Sophia in this way, and this action even aroused the enthusiasm of the Bucharest people.

The whole city was involved, and almost no one fell asleep in Bucharest this night.

And when Ladislas heard this, the development of the tense had reached a point where he felt tricky.

In addition to those Greek nobles who were clearly on the side of Sophia, the attitudes of many other nobles in the Balkans have also become ambiguous. Many of them are as worried as Zepez that their territory may be in the future with Ottomans. People ’s negotiations become bargaining chips, and some people hope to fight against the Ottomans to shape themselves as heroes against pagan invasions. Many people have therefore begun to delay the envoys sent by Ladislas II. Even if they did not expressly oppose the negotiation, their attitude was somewhat different from the previous one.

Ladislas II realized that things might be getting worse. Obviously, the arrival of the Earl of Montina had affected many people.

And another news from outside the city made Bucharest's emotions even more exciting.

The Montina army and the Ottomans had a fierce battle on the plain where the right bank of the Alger River and the north bank of the Danube River. When the news came, the last news heard by the Bucharest was because the outnumbered 6000 Montina troops were heading towards the Danube Direction retreat.

The news came and Bucharest was shocked!

"We must send troops to rescue, that is 6000 people, if wiped out by the Ottomans, it will be a disaster for Bucharest."

Ladislas II looked somberly at an elderly nobleman standing in front of him. This man was a prominent aristocrat in the Kostenic family. In order to compete with Roy in the Bosnian crown, Kosteni The Qi family decided to use the power of Hungary, so they are also one of the most spared spreaders of the legend of "Greece Princess".

It must be said that the strongest response to the sudden betrayal of Roy and the decision to declare the throne is the Kostenic family. Although they may be given the opportunity to choose the same method as Roy, they now become the crown One of the most nobles opposed to talking to Ottoman.

It ’s just that, because of the need for Hungary ’s support, the Kostenich family has never really expressed publicly against Ladislas II, but now the Kostenich family has stood up directly. , Expressed different opinions from the king.

Although this made Ladislas II very angry, he also knew that Kostenic was actually right.

If the Montina army is wiped out if it is left unattended, this news will not only mean that the angered Europe will ever send reinforcements again, but will also allow the Ottoman army to take the opportunity to move east along the Danube Not only will Bucharest be completely surrounded, but even the entire Danube delta plain is in complete danger of falling into the hands of the Ottomans.

And once this area, famous for its richness, fell into the hands of the Ottomans, then the end of Bucharest will come.

And such an obvious danger, Ladislas II believes that many people see it clearly.

Thinking of this, a strange thought suddenly flashed in Ladislas II's heart. It seemed that the Earl of Montina knew exactly this, so he took the initiative to attack the Ottoman so unscrupulously.

Although this somewhat ridiculous thought passed by, Koradislas II couldn't get rid of it from his mind.

The heavy night is a long and difficult one. Everyone knows that according to the last news, after the Ottomans broke through the right wing of the Montina army, they have half-encircled them near the north bank of the Danube from two northwest directions. Just wait for the dawn to launch the final attack.

The early morning of April 5 was a rare good weather, and the day that had gradually become very long showed a glimmer of dawn early in the day.

The morning breeze seemed a little cool, but blowing on the face made the sleepy soldiers a lot more energetic.

Alexander stood up from a leaning stone. He looked back at the soldiers who were holding the horse and hesitated not far away. The horses were obviously fed with grass the night before, and they all looked full of spirits. , You can escape from the battlefield at any time with a single order.

And Pagasos is in it.

Alexander looked at Busaco next to him. He knew that this was Busaco's final preparation. He even vaguely noticed the bulging leather bag hanging on the saddle. Alexander guessed that the clothes inside might be used to change clothes.

"Busak, you have so little confidence in me, which really makes me a little uncomfortable."

Alexander whispered to Busaco, and then beckoned to the several guards to signal them to move Pagasos over.

Then he turned his horse back with the help of the guards.

Alexander pulled Ma rein and walked slowly in front of the fortifications composed of trenches and low walls, watching a team of soldiers enter the position under the leadership of the officers, he stopped and bowed his head from time to time to greet the soldiers .

"What are we going to do today?" Alexander asked a few soldiers who were grinding weapons on stones.

"Teach those pagans!"

"Yes, we have to teach them, because the Ottomans annoyed us," Alexander said with a smile. "Although those Ottomans are not easy to deal with, you do n’t have to worry. You should have seen their elite musketeers, but I want You guarantee that although their soldiers have excellent marksmanship, they are certainly not as powerful as our Musketeers. "

"Of course, our Musketeers all learned from the ladies." A spearman shouted in the crowd and immediately caused a laugh.

"I remember you," Alexander immediately found the man immediately, and pointed to him. "Wait back, I will tell you about Aufrei. I believe the commander of the army will talk to you alone. chat."

"Hush ~" The soldiers gave booing glories to the man, and the atmosphere that was originally suppressed because of tension suddenly became a lot easier.

Alexander led the horse and continued to walk along the front line. His speed was not fast, and the slow look looked more like a walk on the idle horse.

In the distance, you can hear the intermittent sounds from the Ottoman camp. Obviously, the Ottomans have begun to arrange.

There was a hint of faint morning mist that had also dispersed. The colorful wildflowers in the open field in the distance swayed slightly with the morning breeze. This scene in the morning was originally very pleasant, but the wind was thick and disgusting and bloody. The smell and the blood-stained bodies destroyed everything.

The direction of the Ottoman army came with a unique rhythmical sound, which was played by the Ottoman army band.

Several flags appeared and disappeared behind the hills in the distance. Alexander took a serious look. From the time he understood the Ottomans, he knew that at least two of these flags should belong to the new army.

"It seems that there will be a hard fight," Alexander whispered to himself. He noticed that the flag of the new army was moving towards the center of his army. Obviously, the Ottomans who were worried by the officers before might break through the angle of the Northwest Front. The guess is correct. For the Ottomans, as long as the defense line of the corner zone of the Montina Army is broken, then whether it is to pursue the right wing that may retreat east or annihilate the left wing that has no way to escape, it is free. Decided.

A long and dull horn sound overshadowed the performance of the Ottoman Military Orchestra, and the Ottomans finally started to attack.

Alexander took hold of the reins, and he carefully watched the movement of the opposing army ~ www.ltnovel.com ~ When the swaying figures gradually became clearer from far and near, his eyes crossed the frontal enemies and tried to face the enemy. Looking back.

Although it is still far away from the distance, it is still not clear, but from the rising smoke, Alexander still speculates that the number of enemy forces pressed to the right is not as much as he had imagined.

"Sir, the Ottomans didn't seem to want to completely surround us." Busaco rushed to Alexandria and looked at the enemy formation in the distance with him.

"No, they are waiting," Alexander muttered. "They are waiting for us to leave the position to escape."

Obviously, the battle that the Montina army relied on fortifications on the previous day impressed the opposite Ottoman commander. In order to avoid the deadlock of this positional battle again, the opposite Ottoman commander decided to expel the Montina army. Their position.

"Go tell them that our left wing and the center will be attacked, but no matter how violent the enemy's attack is, they are absolutely not allowed to retreat. They are forcing us to leave the position because this is the intention to leave the right wing gap," Alexander turned his horse head. Crossed the trench and came to a high place behind the position to watch the lineup of the opposing enemy, watching the approaching Ottoman army. He gave orders to his side. "Tell everyone that now is the most critical time, we are alive leaving the battlefield to enjoy the glory Or become the enemy's prey, just fight today! "

After talking about Alexander's gaze, he passed the smoke-enveloped enemy formation and cast it in a farther direction. He knew that this day must be very long for everyone.
