Conquer the Dawn of Heaven

Vol 5 Chapter 121: The Great Siege (34)

A team of Balkan coalition forces appeared outside the city, from the fortress along the river near Dembuica to Bucharest, from the west bank to the east bank of the river. On the front of nearly 8 miles, the coalition began a tentative counterattack against the Ottoman .

It was still cautious at first. Most coalition forces only ran back and forth on the battlefield. When they saw the opportunity, a bold commander suddenly attacked, and then immediately retreated cautiously.

However, most coalition nobles still kept a certain distance from the Ottomans carefully in order to observe the situation.

However, some coalition nobles sent people quietly to the Ottoman camp to inquire about the news. The complicated relationship with the Ottoman Empire throughout the year has caused some people to have some contact with the Ottomans.

However, the information obtained in this way is confusing and even more contradictory.

Some sources said that Sudan was preparing to launch a new attack, while others said that it seemed that Sudan was suddenly ill and more people heard nothing. The only reason for the sudden change in the Ottoman barracks was "this It ’s the order of the master above. "

Alexander did not have so many scruples, he made Pannoni ’s Balkan regiment attack the Ottomans from the direction of the Bukur fortress, and ordered the Pisa regiment to form a trapezoidal side slightly behind the Balkan regiment flanks to protect The Balkans moving fast.

"So what are we doing, sir?" A few Agari officers asked with a little dissatisfaction. They felt that Alexander now seems to look more and more at the Balkans, and there is even news that the Balkans will be with the Agri in the future Becoming the main force of the hunting guards makes Agri somewhat unacceptable.

"You guys, prepare to bear the anger of the Ottomans."

The stressful words made the officers of the Agrigan puzzled, but they soon understood what happened.

When the Balkans appeared, they were immediately violently attacked by the Ottoman army. Although there were many coalition forces on the entire front, the Balkans became the targets of the Ottomans.

Even some distant Ottoman troops began to move from the sides of the front line to the south of Bucharest. Looking at the Ottomans who were advancing laterally under the eyes of the coalition forces, the coalition officers were furious.

Alexander, who got the report, thought for a moment and understood what happened.

"The Ottomans are retaliating, Busako probably really hit something, maybe Sudan now has ..."

Alexander shook his head slightly to throw away the speculation that was too impossible. He knew that there was something wrong with the Ottomans, but it is still unknown whether the Sultan himself had an accident. At this time, the Ottomans ’crazy attack on the Balkans was actually just right. Explain that things are a bit complicated.

"Let the Balkan regiment retreat, take revenge?" Alexander asked quietly, and then his eyes fell on the faces of the Agri officers. "Now it's time for you to dispatch, put those **** Balkans Save it. "

Pannoni did not expect that his troops had encountered such a violent, even mad, and more appropriate attack as soon as they entered the battlefield. The Ottomans attacked his regiment as if they had some private enemies, and even the Balkans. Almost all of them were beaten up at the first touch.

To make matters worse, it seems that the Balkans in other places have also received news that with the sound of the horn on the battlefield from far to near, Pannoni knows that more and more Ottoman troops are coming in their direction.

Pannoni felt bad, he knew that if he did not retreat, he might be overwhelmed by the angry Ottoman army.

At least in the two offenses that have just been suffered, if it were not for the two Ottomans that seemed completely uncoordinated but only their respective offenses, so that he found an opportunity to escape hastily from the danger of being surrounded, his The Balkan regiment may have been completely torn apart.

Pannoni immediately ordered a retreat, but the nearby Ottomans refused to let him go easily. They began to advance towards the front line, and some troops farther away simply turned their direction, desperately trying to pursue the Balkan regiment. .

The coalition forces also began to concentrate in the direction of the Bukur fortress. The Ottomans' actions angered the Balkan nobles and watched them pass by blatantly in front of their eyes. Many commanders forgot the horror of the Ottoman army because of their anger.

And they did see an opportunity. Some Ottoman officers seemed to be driven by excessive vengeance, and even exposed their flanks to the coalition when mobilizing the army.

Focusing on the Balkan regiment outside the Bukur fortress, the two sides' forces began to concentrate, and the decisive battle that had been avoided has suddenly arrived at this unexpected special moment.

However, the chasing Ottomans were violently blocked by the Balkan regiment flanks. The Pisa stubbornly stood beside the Balkan regiment, while the Agri phalanx was from the other side when the Balkans retreated. Rush forward.

Then they began to turn and attacked an Ottoman army that had completely exposed their flanks because they were closest to it.

The entire coalition front centered on the three regiments that formed a trapezoidal progression, kept retreating under the fierce attack of the Ottomans.

"Maybe the Sudan hasn't happened ..."

Listening to the report from the front line, Ladislas II began to get nervous. He walked back and forth a few steps, suddenly shaking the scepter in his hand and angrily shouted to Alexander standing on the side. "We may be fooled." Look at the count, look outside! The Ottomans are not panicking, they are attacking! "

Alexander also frowned, and the unexpected situation surprised him. The Ottomans did not become confused. This did surprise him, but what happened in the Ottoman barracks was unlikely to be a temptation.

Alexander believed that Bayesert II could not have dared to risk any conspiracy to swindle the enemy, because in this day and age, a rumor can often lead to an accident.

What's more, in a country such as Ottoman, all authority is in the hands of the Sudan. This seems to make the entire empire solid, but as long as there is a little mistake about the safety of the Sudan, it may lead to huge unrest.

So it is impossible for Bayesert II to take the huge risk of chaos in his army.

"Sudan must have happened."

Alexander refuted the king with undoubted tone. He saw the blue face of Ladislas II, but at this time he couldn't care about the king's emotions and walked to the city wall to watch the smoky battlefield below, Alexander I was wondering what happened to the Ottomans.

"Are these Ottomans crazy?"

An aristocrat suddenly shouted, which attracted Alexander's attention. He looked in the direction of the man's finger and saw several Ottoman troops rushing toward the front in the distance.

They seemed to be brave, but if they looked closely, they found that the Ottoman army's progress was not only very chaotic, but they seemed to have no cooperation.

"They are fighting for power," Alexander saw the subtleties "or rather fighting for power."

"What rights are you fighting for?" Someone asked in doubt next to me.

"Bringing rights to Sudan's revenge."

Alexander's words excite the faces of the people next to them, and they already understand the meaning behind the words.

If there is a real accident in Sudan, then anyone who can avenge the Sudan will have more say in the future, and a minister with such a heavy power, even the future new Sudan must be treated with caution.

Just as Alexander the Great had just died, the generals quarreled and even clashed to fight for his body. What they cared about was not the remains of the monarch, but the identity of the protector of the body of the emperor.

"So, the Sudan may really be dead?" Someone asked excitedly, but now they still think it seems impossible.

"It's easy to know," Alexander looked back at the king, and as he watched everyone looked at Ladislas II. "Your Majesty, it's time for you to enter the battlefield."

The muscles on the king's face shivered slightly, not knowing whether it was fear or excitement. At this moment Ladislas II felt his body trembling slightly.

"decisive battle."

Someone said lowly.

"decisive battle."

Someone responded immediately.

"Decision ~"

"decisive battle!"

More and more people joined, and the Balkans' eyes became hot and excited, and everyone looked at Ladislas II.

When the king nodded slightly, there was a burst of cheers on the wall.

"Busak, I want you to do something." Alexander whispered to Busak next to him, "Go and bring Sophia, and I want you to lead the hunting guards to protect her."

Busaco realized what he was and nodded immediately.

"decisive battle."

Alexander also whispered to himself. He looked back at the concave gap on the battle line that was gradually formed by the withdrawal of Montina's army on the outside battlefield. Alexander raised his finger in that direction.

"There is the key to everything."

Outside Demwica, an Ottoman army slowly retreated backwards. At the end of the line, a wrinkled Ottoman veteran looked gloomy at the seemingly crumbling face, just a light push There will be a sigh softly as the wall collapses.

"Bucharest, this is really not an auspicious place," the veteran's dark face floated with a trace of frustration and annoyance. He remembered clearly that the conqueror Mohammed had also encountered a rare fiasco in his life.

But Muhammad still shook the foundations of the empire despite the failure, but now, the veterans don't know what they will face next.

The defending army of Dembrica apparently also noticed the Ottomans ’unusual behavior. They began sending out a small group of people to try out the city. When it was found that the Ottomans were indeed retreating, the head of the city of Dembrica, which was about to collapse, sounded loudly. cheer.

The defenders of Demwica were dispatched.

Although I do n’t know what happened, the sudden retreat of the Ottomans itself means that something unexpected happened, and it is likely to be a very unfavorable situation for the Ottomans.

Otherwise, the Ottomans will not give up the opportunity they will get at first sight.

At the same time as Dembwica sent troops, in Bucharest, flags stood up.

The angel protection flag of Bucharest, the white cross flag of Bohemia, the shield flag of Hungary, and the flags of the Balkan aristocrats painted in various patterns flew in front of the army formation outside the city.

After the horses came, people looked around, and a group of cavalry in strange red uniforms caught their attention.

In the sun, huge copper buttons that matched the red military uniform fixed the half-length breastplate tightly on the body. As the mount ran, the short cloak continued to swing behind him. A team of hunting guards ran to the center along the Allied Front.

A flag appeared, and the coat of arms of the Valleoli family of the last dynasty of the Eastern Roman Empire fluttered in the wind. Under the flag, Sophia's body armor, a short flannel inlaid with white mink piping and diagonally draped over her shoulder The sapphire-encrusted crown shone above her head, which made her look more majestic than ever.

Behind her, the Knight of Gilas had a sceptre wrapped in gold foil and a scepter with a beam of axe on top.

Everyone knows that it means the Emperor's Scepter, the highest symbol of power in the Eastern Roman Empire.

Although the real emperor's scepter disappeared as early as when Constantinople fell, when he saw the axe and the flying flag that foreshadowed the highest power of Rome, accompanied by Sophia's mount, cheering one after another The sound came like a wave.

"Rome! Rome!"

The Greeks roared loudly. They used their weapons to bang their armor, scales on the saddle, shields in their hands, and everything else that made noise. When Sophia responded by raising her arm to them, The Greeks immediately responded to her with a loud cheer and a sharp whistle.

Sophia's face was flushed, and thin beads of sweat settled on her smooth and shiny forehead, and an unexplained soft murmur was made in her throat because of excitement.

Ladislas II looked soberly at Sophia who was running along the front, seeing the girl who was enjoying the cheers, his mood at this time couldn't help but feel inexplicably complicated.

From the first time he saw Nashan appeared in the palace of Prague with this wild gypsy girl, and now the greek princess in front of the army, Ladislas II knew that he created it. This miracle, but now he looked at Sophia, but he had an unspeakable strangeness.

Sophia came to the king, and she threw the short cloak on the shoulder side firmly, according to what Alexander had taught her before, stroked her shoulders by hand, and then swung forward to perform a Romanesque military salute.

This move excited the Balkan knights around, and even the aristocrats who were indifferent in expression could not help moving.

Since the fall of Constantinople, the shadow of the Ottoman Empire has always shrouded the European continent. In the face of the powerful Ottoman army, many people have even despaired.

Now, a possible opportunity appears in front of people.

Gilas, who was behind Sophia, raised his scepter horizontally over his head, and then screamed with all his strength: "The last blood of Valleolo, Rome and the Romans, and the only legality of all the territories under Rome Heir, Sophia Alexandra Valleo, Princess of Greece! "

"Greece Princess!"

A shout of shouting broke out from the line, and a sharp sword and saber pointed to the sky.

As Sophia took the eagle flag from the flag bearer behind her, the horse flew along the front line, and the flags embroidered with various coats of arms ran out of their respective teams, joining the flag headed by the eagle flag. Ranks.

For a time, the front of the Allied Forces covered the sun and shouted!

The sun was shining in the sky, and on the ground beneath the blue sky, Sophia's youthful figure was like a vigorous and beautiful female deer passing in front of the coalition. The hair crown on her head gleamed with bright light and splashed sweat Crossing the red cheeks and cheeks, the healthy chestnut skin is covered with a layer of shining luster.

Sophia at this moment has fascinated countless people.

"The princess of Greece."

In the line, Alexander murmured, raising his head to look at the dazzling sun above his head, and then to the distance.

In the distance, the red crescent flag spread across the ground, and a branch of Ottoman troops gathered under the flag.

However, if you look closely, you will find that there is a clear gap between the Ottoman army, which makes the entire Ottoman army look as if it is divided into pieces. What is more obvious is that if you look closely, you will find that the Ottoman army is the most The elite guards are concentrated in front of a barracks farther away.

The Guards surrounded the barracks strictly, and although they were behind the army, they had already formed a battle formation and were waiting for them, ready to fight against nearby enemies.

Alexander slowly led the horse forward, and he saw that Sophia's figure had been turned back from the end of the formation, and the entire flag team was moving on the ground like a turbulent turbulent current.

"Are you really going to fight?" Alexander whispered in a tone that was inaudible to others, and then he groaned a little, suddenly his feet clenched the horse's abdomen, and with a hissing sound, Pagasus jumped forward. , The four hoofs kicked hard towards the open space in front of the two armies.

An unexpected cries immediately sounded from behind the coalition. People watched in amazement as Alexander singled forward and rushed forward. When he finally strangled the war horse in the open space between the two armies and stopped to look forward, a few moments Ten thousand people's eyes cast on him at the same time.

Alexander gently touched the mane of Pagasos with his hands. He felt that Pagasos seemed to be very excited because of this much attention. His feet kept jumping at the foot of the battle, and hissing from time to time, It seemed to be provoking the opposing Ottoman cavalry army who could not see their head at a glance.

A brisk sound of horseshoes came from the side and back, and there was also a burst of uneasy cries.

Alexander looked back and saw that Sophia was urging the horse from the team to run towards him. Behind her, a group of Greek knights headed by the Gilas knight stalked nervously while yelling to Sophia in front. , Trying to discourage her.

Alexander smiled. He didn't blame Sophia's willfulness, but when she came to her side, she reached out and wiped the sweat from her forehead.

"Sophia, remember Sicily?" Alexander asked calmly.

Sophia nodded, then reached out and made a move that only two people understood.

"I promised you that when we return to Sicily one day, I will let you have a noble identity that everyone looks up to and adore," Alexander said as he leaned forward slightly and whispered in Sophia's ear "I will fulfill this promise, Sophia, Sicily will one day be your home."

Sophia tilted her head slightly, first revealing a little confusion, and then her big eyes curled into two crescent moons with a smile.

But when she was about to make a gesture to Alexander again, as her gaze fell into the distance, Sophia first froze, then raised her finger to the front and yelled “Ah” to Alexander.

Alexander looked back in the direction of Sophia's fingers, and several figures walking slowly from the Ottoman army entered his eyes.

"It's time to see." Alexander gestured to Sophia slightly, letting her back slightly, looking at the Ottomans who were getting closer, he turned back slightly and clasped the saber back, staring at the Gilas Knights who said, " Go back and tell the king to prepare him, maybe there will be a result soon. "

"But what are you going to prepare for?" Gilas just turned his horse's head, but stopped and gasped again and asked, "Are we going to attack?"

"Maybe, I don't need it anymore." Looking at those Ottomans who were so close to seeing their faces, Alexander slowly shook his head.

The Ottomans stopped a few horses away from Alexander, and then a dark-skinned nobleman with a pair of eagle-like eyes slowly came out of the team.

The Ottomans are not too young. A few gray hairs flutter slightly in the wind under the round helmet inlaid with iron.

"I'm Hami Resal Plomsh, the sultan's governor of Sakha and the Palace," the Ottoman's voice was slightly hoarse, but his eyes were very sharp, and he was always tight when he spoke Staring at Alexandria ’s eyes, he explored the actions of the young man in front of him. “If I guess right ~ www.ltnovel.com ~ you should be the Earl of Montina.”

With Alexander's heartbeat, he had to admit that in understanding the enemy, neither he nor any of the coalition forces were as good as the Ottomans.

But he knew the person in front of him.

Hami Resal Plomsh, in addition to being the general manager of the sultan Saha and the Palace, also has a more important and special position.

The most powerful **** in the Ottoman imperial palace was Sudan's ruler.

But what really made Alexander care was not the eunuch's current status, but something he would do in the future.

The historical Hami Resal Plomsh was the executioner of Ahmed, the son of Bayesert II.

At the same time, he was also the only person who stayed with him when Bayestet II died.

Looking at the eunuch, Alexander groaned a little, then suddenly asked, "Tell me, is the Sultan down?"
