Conquer the Dawn of Heaven

The old town of Valeccio is a village on the northern bank of the lower reaches of the Mincho River.

It was the earliest place where Pope Pius II was cultivating, and Pius II stayed in this ancient town for nearly 4 years.

Later, he wrote in his autobiographical book "On Faith": "The four years in the old town of Valejo were the happiest days of my life, even if I would always stand in front of the public and receive worship, Always miss those good times."

There is an old church in the old town of Valejo. Almost everyone remembers when this church was built. It seems that this church has existed since the town.

Gompati is in this church now.

The bell tower next to the church is not very tall, but it is the tallest building in the town.

The key is to stand on the clock tower and you can clearly see the movement of the Venetian across the river.

When the Roman Thesia army reached the Mincho River, it was discovered that the Venetians actually destroyed the only wooden bridge on the river. If you want to find another bridge to cross the river, you have to walk at least a dozen miles up the river.

To make matters worse, the topography of the upper reaches is complex, and across the river are swamps and wetlands.

Obviously, heavy weapons like artillery cannot pass through the swamp wetland, so Compati made the decision to prepare to cross the Mincho River from the beginning.

But now this season is when the spring floods are flooding, the original water is because of the terrain because of the rapid flow of the Mincho River, and the tumbling and flowing river has become a roadblocker in front of the Roman Thesia army.

"You must cross the river as soon as possible," Compatiti whispered to his well-trimmed beard on his chin. "We must rush to solve the troubles in Venice before the French do any stupid things."

"What adult would the French do?"

An officer asked with some curiosity that this officer, Callarioni, was a student personally selected by Gompati from the Bologna Military University.

Before he entered university, he was a famous architect.

At the time, Gompati saw Carrario, who was in charge of surveying a turret, on the construction site of the castle in Montina.

When he saw that the architect used a simple angle variable between several wooden sticks and calculated the height of the turret that was obviously higher than the surrounding foundation section, Gompati immediately surprised the other party's mind and potential. .

So he almost semi-compulsorily sent the architect to the Bologna Military University, which had just opened, and became one of the first students of the Bologna Military University, as well as the first student of the professional artillery department.

Now Cararioni is the assistant and assistant of Compati, but only as the earliest professional artillery officer. This architect who has changed his career after 30 and a half years still has to learn a lot.

"They will attack Milan."

Gompati said in a muffled voice. In fact, everyone knows that in addition to monitoring the Austrian army in the direction of Milan, his western army also has the task of monitoring the French army in Genoa.

So now he suddenly waved his troops eastwards, and even approached the Mingqiao River, which was not only unexpected by the Venetians and Austrians, but even the French might find it incredible.

The French will attack Milan.

Just think about it for a while and you can feel how unbearable.

For Milan, which is now like an undefended city, it is like a woman who has already accepted her destiny. Anyone can become the master of sleeping as long as she wants.

But want to come, whether it is the only Austrian in the city or the local residents of Milan, probably don't want to be eventually slept by the French.

"Sir, do we have time to rush back to Milan?"

Cararioni asked with some concern.

He did not participate in the war with the Ottomans, nor did he participate in the second Italian war against France. To be precise, this was his first battle on the battlefield. As for the relationship between Roma Thesia and other countries, he was also completely strange. of.

"It depends on Aufrei." Gompati said a little helplessly.

Gompati knew that Aufrei had always regarded him as the biggest competitor. As the Roman Thesia military system gradually stabilized, the military faction represented by the two had gradually taken shape.

If Alexander’s army had not yet formed a complete system of officers, now for all Roman Thesia officers, it is the beginning of truly establishing their status in this huge military group.

Among them, in addition to the army of Roman Thesia, it also includes Pisa, Naples and Sicily, and perhaps the army of Castilla in the future.

Gompati is one of the few people who clearly understands Alexander's future "Great Empire Army" plan.

Regarding this plan, Gompati just wanted to say: "The Duke's ideas are'very fresh'."

Has Alfrei successfully crossed the Po River, what will he do next?

Because there was no news about Aufrei, Gompati was unable to grasp when to cross the river. After all, according to information, the Venetian deployed about 6,000 troops in the Veneto area east of the Mincho River. Lei was really lost, so once he crossed the river, he might be entangled in the Veneto region by the Venetians.

By that time, even if the French were still suffocating, they would probably risk it because of this rare opportunity.

His task was to ensure that before the arrival of the Austrian army, the French could not occupy Milan.

Milan is indeed like an undefended woman, but this woman is more attractive only when she has not been handed.

Alexander is hoping that Milan will be the chess piece that has caused the dispute between France and Austria.

"Ready to cross the river."

Gompati suddenly opened his mouth, his expression calm and calm, as if he was just saying to go for a walk across the river, rather than a fierce battle erupting with this sentence.

"Sir, don't wait any longer, maybe Lord Affray will have a letter soon."

The adjutant was dissatisfied with some worry. The huge casualties that might be caused by crossing the river made him secretly worried. After all, for any monarch, too many casualties mean the loss of the army, but also a large number of pensions and the recruitment of recruits. fall.

I think that if that happens, the general will definitely be reprimanded by the Duke.

"Can't wait any longer, we don't have so much time, we have to solve the Venetian before the French have made up their minds. As for Aufrei," Gumpati frowned frivolously. "Trust me, he was serving as the commander of the army. At that time, the Duke had asked him to command himself more than once, so he knew what to do."

Gompati's words made the adjutant relieved. Although some rumors about the chief of staff and what Gompati said seemed to be inconsistent, Cararioni decided to believe his master.

Looking at the back of the adjutant who hurried away, Gumpati only rubbed his fingers at this time because he tried to restrain his forehead that was not wrinkled.

"Aufrei will become an excellent chief of staff in the future. His carefulness and meticulousness can make a flawed plan almost impeccable, and it can also turn a group of people into well-trained soldiers. This is Affray. The advantages, but because of this, he is only suitable as a chief of staff."

This is what Alexander once said to Barenti in private. He would analyze his men in such a detailed analysis, but it was only hoped that Barenti could be accurate during the regency.

However, although this was a private discussion by Alexander and his wife, it does not mean that other people are not clear about the characteristics of this marshal.

"Aufrei, don't let me down,"

After saying this, even if he was not very confident, Compatti left all his worries, worries and worries behind.

"Gompatti is an offensive man, but what is interesting is that he is very good at defending, but with his character, even in the defense, as long as there is a chance, he will immediately grasp and then resolutely and actively counterattack. "

Gompati didn’t know that Alexander not only judged him so much, but even told Barenti: “When you are at a critical moment and it is difficult to make a decision, send Gompati to complete this task, because even if he fails, the situation It won't be worse than this."

The Roman Thesia army started crossing the river in the morning.

At this time of the day, the water of the Mincho River slows down a little bit, but even then, when a wooden boat was just placed in the river, it was immediately thrown by a wave and drifted out. Then, as the soldiers on the shore grabbed the rope, the wooden boat was released. Immediately following the river, the Roman Thesia soldiers on the shore could not help but change their faces.

"Sir, the river is too urgent."

The adjutant watched some confused soldiers on the beach say anxiously.

"This is the best time of the day, and it is even more unsuitable for crossing the river at noon." Compatiti said, looking up at the sky.

Seeing a cloud over in the distance, his face also became somber.

"Order the regiments to start crossing the river as a company."

Gompati paused a little after speaking, and then said in a low voice: "Tell all the troops that the company that first crosses the Mincho River, I will award him the title of "Valecciolian", and I will ask the Lord Duke to grant Its flag. But again, the unfavorable troops will be severely punished, and if necessary, I will exercise the authority given by the Duke to the commander of my army."

Cararioni nodded vigorously. He heard the murderous sentiment from the general's words, which is another kind of majesty that is completely different from the prestige accumulated by Aufrei for many years.

This made the adjutant have no doubt, if necessary, the general would not be stingy with a few lives to remind the timid soldiers how to perform their duties.

The wooden boats dropped down the river. The Venetians apparently retreated too quickly. Although they broke the bridge on the Mincho River, they did not have time to collect the ships along the coast.

Even when the bridge was destroyed, many of the planks on the bridge were simply discarded on the shore and the stone dam near the bare pier.

Under the command of Calarioni, the Roman Thesia soldiers not only quickly confiscated all the ships in the town, but also used the discarded wooden boards to fix some broken ships that were broken and damaged, but could be used as a raft brace to fix the broken ship with rope. Together, it became a temporary crossing platform.

"Sir, so that we can transport the artillery to the other side as soon as possible."

The first graduates of the Artillery Division of the Bologna Military University excitedly explained to Gompati the use of the wooden platoons.

Gompati looked at the wooden row silently, then whispered to him near Carrario: "After the battle is over, you should go back to university and continue studying. I don't want to let you because of me." Be the first student to fail to graduate."

The movement of the Roman Thesia's army aroused the Venetians' vigilance. In the temporary construction of the riverside village not far from the river bank, the Venetian commander looked at the busy Roman Thesia's army on the other side, and his eyes were beating.

"They are about to attack, they have to give them a bit of a look."

The commander ordered, and suddenly he stumbled under his feet.

"grown ups."

The guard next to him immediately supported the commander.

"This **** leg," the commander cursed in a low voice. "It was the same injury that I had when I was in Pisa. It was terrible when the weather was bad. At that time, it seemed that the defender of Pisa was the opposite Gumpati. "

After the commander had just finished speaking, he suddenly stood up, and he quickly looked up to see the sky. When he saw a thin cloud in the distance covering the originally hot sun, the commander could not help but exclaimed "God bless!"

"We must cross the river before the weather gets worse," Gumpati was also giving orders at this time. "Order all companies except the necessary reserve team to try their best to spread all the forces along the river. We must **** it as fast as possible." On the other side, start crossing the river!"

As Gompati's words fell, the artillery that had been waiting for fired fiercely towards the opposite shore almost simultaneously.

At the same time, the Western Army of Rome Thesia launched a violent attack on the opposite side of the Minjo River, about half a mile long and wide front.

Although he was prepared early, the Venetians were still calmed down by the Roman Thesias with all their strength as soon as they shot.

Especially in the face of the other party who had not crossed the river, it seemed that he had to bomb all the shells like crazy, and the Venetians couldn’t help but be scared. Many soldiers immediately lost their helmets under the fire that had not been experienced at all. A, hastily retreated.

With a "boom", the muffled sound of a gun in the distance frightened many people.

This also made other artillery fired nonstop.

Calarioni immediately ran towards the bombed artillery, and he kept urging the gun to continue shooting.

After a while, Cararioni ran back, his face covered with a dark purple color, and his hands were black.

"Sir, the artillery can't withstand such a fierce shooting speed." The adjutant was a little worried. "Maybe we can divide the artillery into two teams and shoot in turns."

"No, continue shooting, tell the gunner, and as much as possible to ensure the safety of the artillery, hit me all the shells across the river."

Cararioni wanted to say something, but didn't speak, but immediately turned and ran to give the order.

At this time, the army of Roma Thesia began to cross the Mincho River.

When a high water column splashed in the water fell, a soldier directly drenched the soldiers on the ship, and the Venetian artillery began to fight back.

The Roman Thesia artillery, who had been prepared for a long time, immediately poured into the direction of the Venetian artillery whose position was exposed by the shooting, and poured into a solid bomb with terrible destructive power.

Suddenly there was smoke and dust on the open space between the two houses on the other side of the bank. Later, even the two stone houses were blown up so that the houses collapsed and the rocks were scattered.

At the same time, the ships of the Roman Thesia’s army had crossed the heart of the Mincho River and began to row towards the opposite bank.

A row of cluttered but dense gunshots sounded, mixed with the sound of heavy guns that were obviously loud and deafening.

A wooden boat rushing to the front was immediately hit with a terrible blow. The hull was splashed with lead bullets and saw holes.

Although the soldiers on the ship raised their shields, they could not resist such intensive shooting. In the screams, the soldiers were shot.

Some of them directly fell into the water and were immediately drawn into the turbulent bottom, disappeared.

"Bang" with a loud noise, a boat was hit by a heavy gun, and the ship was directly penetrated through a huge hole. What's worse, this gun just happened to break the beam of the wooden boat.

As the hull wriggled back and forth, and finally with another crack and crisp sound, the wooden boat broke from the middle into two pieces, and everyone on the boat immediately fell into the water.

The sound of gunfire flew from the opposite bank, and at the same time, crossbow arrows poured from the bank into the river.

More and more soldiers were shot, and people on the river were screaming for help.

"Sir, this wouldn't work..."

Cararioni was sweating on his forehead. He wanted to dissuade Gompati. But he saw the expressionless face of the general from beginning to end. Cararioni realized that the following words could not be said.

"Kararioni, you go to the artillery position to personally supervise," Gompati finally spoke, and he commanded the adjutant, "I want you to cover me with the shells completely, as long as you think it is a threat, don't be stingy. Smash it directly."

"Adherence to the Lord."

Cararioni knew there was nothing left to say at this time, especially just now, when he heard the general order the transfer of the reserve of the legion to the river bank, it was clear that Gompati had already made the final impact. Preparation.

"Venetian?"

Gompati looked up at the sky, the overcast clouds became thicker and thicker, and the wind on the river became stronger and the river water became more turbulent. Many ships were not hit by the enemy, but because the water flow was too fast. Overturned.

"Let the reserve team prepare." Gompati gave an order to the herald soldier next to him, and then his eyes turned to the other side.

The attacks of the Roman Thesia's army became more and more intense, and the resistance of the Venetians became more and more fierce.

The two sides launched a fierce offensive and defensive battle in the middle of the river and on the shore~www.ltnovel.com~ Wait a second, hold on again! "The Venetian garrison commander, feeling the wind getting louder, shouted to the people next to him. "When it rains, it's time for the Thesia of Rome to fall!" "

Following his words, Dou Da's rain suddenly fell on his face, and the commander froze and laughed.

"Rome Thesias are done!"

He shouted and ran a few steps towards the shore.

At this moment, a horn sound suddenly came from the direction of the upper reaches of the river.

The commander looked around in silence, suddenly stunned.

"Sir, the reserve team has crossed the river!"

On the other side, the herald reported excitedly to Gompati.
