Conquer the Dawn of Heaven

"Bang ~" a loud muffled noise, a shell fell on a gap in an already torn wall.

The shock from the moment instantly shook the two soldiers not far away nearby, accompanied by a dull sound, the sky and the sand fell to the top of the head.

Standing at the wall, Aufrei glanced at the wall hit by the shells, and then set his sights on the French army below who was about to attack the city again.

Has been bombarded for 2 days. The unexpected power of the French artillery has surprised many people, including Aufrei.

In these two days, the French kept bombarding the walls of Montina Castle with artillery. They did not stop even at night, which made the people in the city feel inexpressible fear, if not A huge pennant always floats on the city walls, and many people already think that Montina is about to fall.

Barendi and the ladies in the palace hid in a monastery far away from the city walls. As she said, letting those who really know what to do to do things is the main reason for Alexander to make her a prisoner After she announced the beginning of the war with the French, she did not issue any extra orders, but immediately announced that O'Freuil would take over all command, and she solemnly announced that from then on, everything in the Principality Commanded by the commander of the city defense army, Aufrei, and the commander of the various field regiments, Gumpati wholly commanded.

Then Barendi gathered all the court ladies and led them into the church. When closing the church door, she said to Aufrei: "I hope to hear from the French when I stand here again. Good news for retreat, otherwise I can only sign the surrender letter in the name of a regent in the country. "

Barendi's words made Aufrei feel heavy pressure, although he already knew what kind of situation he is facing now, only when he really faced it, he realized that maybe he was not fully prepared.

But the French obviously had not given him the opportunity to adapt to the huge pressure in front of him. Two consecutive days of artillery bombardment turned Aufrei from a staff to an independent battlefield commander. Now he is watching the French organize again to attack. The formation of the city, he was not as nervous as it was at the beginning. On the contrary, with the power played between the two days of Montina Castle, Alfrei has gradually mastered the tricks of how to deal with the situation at hand.

"The French seem to have become smarter," Aufrei said to the old man who was not far away. He found that he still underestimated the old man. Obviously Pompeni was able to supervise such a fortress not just by him. The craft, but the experience of this military fortress beyond ordinary people, this experience is naturally reflected in the battlefield "They seem to intend to attack from the two highest places, which is not right."

"Oh, do you see that?" Pompeii grinned at his son-in-law and was not dissatisfied with Auf Ailei. Pompeii was not dissatisfied. The only thing that displeased him was that Auf Ailei was "a soldier" Pompeni, who has seen too many deaths, does not want to scare her daughter, let alone experience the terrible tragedy of losing her husband, but since Ashley has already decided, Pompeni can only try to ensure that this "military" can do his best Survive "The French probably think that our artillery can't fire at them along the walls, because if you do that, you will either hit them or you will hit ourselves."

"Yeah, this Charlene is really difficult to deal with," Aufrei said annoyed. "It would be nice if he died in the hands of the coalition when he was in Rome."

Complaining, Aufrei looked annoyed at the French team that was trying to approach the trenches from both ends, and the team was holding a shield and a spear, reflecting the harsh light in the hot sun. There was a kind of unspeakable depression. He had to raise his hand several times to signal the artillery fire, but he was stopped by the old man.

"Don't worry about the little guy," Pompeni said as he looked at the French army who had been almost ready before approaching the trench. "Did you ever fish, did I mean that big fish?"

Seeing Ofolai shook his head blankly, Pompeii chuckled. "Know that the big fish are very powerful in the water. When they are struggling, they can drag a strong man into the water, but once they land on the shore. , Then there is no ability, and these French people are the same, now they are fish in the water, and then they will see how they are dragged ashore. "

Pompeii's voice had just fallen. The French horn had already sounded under the city. A team of soldiers began to slowly cross the first trench and approached the direction of the city wall.

As the French approached the second trench, the artillery on Montina Castle began to roar, and each shell fell toward the city with a curve, some hitting not far from the team, but more On the open ground, as the ground was plowed out of the deep trench, a piece of soil was also splashed.

"Sir, the Montina's artillery can't shoot our army at this angle!" Under the city, an officer excitedly reported to Charlene standing on the high ground, "Our army is approaching the city wall."

Charlene looked silently at the castle in the distance. He was not excited by what seemed to be a smooth situation in front of him. He knew that this was actually just the beginning. When he saw the castle for the first time, he had a feeling. Maybe the King made a mistake in attacking Montina.

The advancing team had begun to spread between the crisscrossing trenches. Looking at the French forces that had been unable to maintain their original formation and had to slow down, Charlene frowned, and then he turned to The subordinate soldiers around him issued orders to stop the follow-up troops.

The herding soldier immediately jumped on the horse and rushed forward. His speed was fast, and the obvious red cloak on the body also let the soldiers know that the cavalry had a very important task, so they gave him a way.

Passing the two teams that had not yet had time to act, the herald soldiers ran towards the front team, who was ready to follow the French army that had crossed the trench. Just as he shouted to the officer walking in front of the team, a harsh roar suddenly came from far away With the scorching heat wave coming down from the sky!

With a puff, the herder's warhorse seemed to suddenly be sawed off with four legs and collapsed downwards, and the warhorse that had been directly smashed by the shells with half of his body turned into a slump of mud. The insignificant messenger.

Then, the castle heard the angry buzzing sounds of swarms of wasps when a huge bee hive was suddenly broken.

The French soldiers trapped between the trenches immediately dropped a deadly bullet rain. The soldiers hit screamed and fell to the ground. Some clever soldiers immediately jumped into the trenches to escape, but most people Can only run blindly, or raise his shield to try to resist the falling bullet.

Seeing with her own eyes that the herald soldiers were instantly smashed into meat sauce by artillery shells, the nonchalant Sharon just shook his head helplessly: "Send another person to order them to stop advancing, it's better to find a fatal one, I don't want to because This is a delay. "

The officer next to immediately ordered the dispatch of a new herald, and looking at the back of the soldiers who rushed forward on the horse, Charalon's eyes turned to the distant castle.

"Those bastions should play a role," Aufrei looked at the small bastions that were completely open to the castle side under the city walls and V-shaped to the outside, and looked at the busy soldiers inside. He glanced at Lao Zhangren, "Do you think they can block it?"

"Is this important?" Pompeni shrugged disapprovingly. "Their role is to keep the enemy under the wall as much as possible, as long as this is enough."

Aufrei nodded. He knew that the old man was right. From the day when the small anti-city anti-city approached the construction of the fortress, the soldiers guarding these fortresses were destined to face the most serious situation.

"Ready to shoot ~ Agry Musketeer ~" Aufrei ordered loudly, and a horn sounded from the city wall.

"Ready to shoot ~ Agry Musketeers ~"

'S response came from the bastions.

There is no protection from sword shields, no pressure from the spearmen, and no response from the Bohemian light cavalry. This is the first time the Agri Musketeers have faced the enemy alone.

The sound of muskets on the wall had stopped, and the French army, which had been stunned in the first wave of shooting, began to gather again after the officers shouted and driven away, and they began to cross another trench in front of them when they saw the front When there was a row of small independent fortresses on the slightly elevated slope, they could not help but roared forward.

"Ready ~"

In Lengbao, a small captain issued an order. This veteran who came out of Agri and Alexander was calm and calm. Many battles have made them no longer as passionate as those young people, but the rich experience has made They kill people more conveniently and quickly.

"Round shot, first row, shoot!"

A thick white smoke spread from the front of the fortress, and the sudden volley of volley guns pierced people's ears, as if it was hard to poke fingers into the ear holes.

Soldiers who couldn't stop coughing because of the smoke, squatted down quickly, ignoring the discomfort of his throat, and at the same time the second-row musketeers had raised their guns and pulled the trigger towards the Frenchman who was about to rush to the front.

From the city wall, it can be clearly seen that the French soldiers who fell at the front are spread like a spreading line on the open space in front of the close to Lengbao, some of them directly turned into the trench, although only the first two The round volley, but the attacking French army immediately stopped as if it had been hit hard by the invisible fist!

"Ready to fire."

Aufrei smiled, as long as the French could not get close to the city wall, they would always be within the range of his artillery shots, even if they had captured the bastions below, because it had been considered possible during the construction. It will fall into the hands of the enemy, so those bastions are designed to be completely open to the side of the castle, so that they are completely under the threat of muskets.

But this is obviously the most comfortable. O'Lei feels that he does not even need Gompati. At this distance, he can prove himself with artillery.

It was just that his voice had just dropped, and there was an intermittent horn on the French position, and the attacking French quickly retreated to the rear. They were so hasty, not only regardless of the dead, but even the alive companions. It was simply thrown on the ground.

"Charlene retreated?" Aufrei looked a little outside the city, looking at the French army that gradually reunited as he retreated, his brow furrowed.

Then he punched **** the sandbags piled up on the city wall: "If he is a little late ..."

"But the time he grasped is good, isn't it," Pompeni glanced at his son-in-law. "It's only a little bit worse, but it's just that he made the situation not worse."

Aufrei nodded, he had to admit that the old man was right, the French did stop a loss in a timely manner, and now this seems to have lost a lot, but in fact the casualties were not serious injuries By comparison, Charlene's decision was undoubtedly timely and correct.

"It's really hard to deal with."

Looked at the devastated walls during these 2 days. Aufrei sighed a little. He knew that the contest with the French had just begun.

"It's really hard to deal with."

Aufrei did not know that at the same time, Charlene was also saying the same thing. He looked at some dejected officers standing in front of him, waved them at random, and then asked the servant next to serve them. Wine has been prepared: "You guys, this is Montina, the capital city of the Principality of Rome. Although this capital city is slightly smaller, I believe that none of you have ever seen such a fortress. Why bother to be frustrated for a setback? "

Xia Lulun's words made the officers feel a little better. As Xia Lulun said, they had never attacked such a fortress, and even looked at the hedgehog-like wall with inexplicable fear, and The anti-proximity trenches and anti-proximity bastions, which were completely beyond their expectations, were things that had never been encountered before, which made them uneasy even when they launched an offensive because of fear of the unknown.

"But they are now trapped in this castle, aren't they," Charlene smiled at his opponents. "Then we have only one thing to do now, and they're trapped in Montina." In the fort, since they want to use these walls to stop us, they will always hide inside and do n’t come out. "

Looking at Xia Erlun's expression seemed quite relaxed, the officers who had been depressed were finally smiling.

As Charlene said, although they could not capture this rugged city for a while, there is no doubt that the Montina army was also trapped in the city, and according to their years of experience, even if they are still strong Castles are always captured.

Unless ...

He even relaxed and even chatted with a few officers about a few anecdotes of Roman ladies. After returning to the tent, Charlene's face sank instantly. He sat down and beckoned to the side, and took the servants just collected. The loss report, looking at the three-digit casualty number above, he slowly took off the uncomfortable iron gauntlets, and then took off the black armor with the help of the servants.

"More than 100 people?"

"Accurately it should be 135 people," the servant struggled to loosen the belt on the breastplate protecting the right shoulder blade, while reporting, "Those adults were terrified and left a lot of people, but the Montina people put those The wounded sent us back. As for the corpses, they also sent people to say that they could be collected by us. Adults, they don't seem to be bad. "

Looking at the attendant smashing his lips with an unexplained look, Charlene sighed with a low voice, "It seems that they are treating you well."

"They have grown-up sugar, a lot of sugar, and their soldiers can actually use it to entertain people," the attendant said a little excitedly. "In addition, they can still drink coffee, but the lords can only enjoy it."

"Oh, their soldiers are really enviable," Charlene finally took off his heavy armor. He shook his sore shoulders to do it, and picked up the loss report again and looked at it. "But they took the wounded. They are all sent back to us not because of their kindness. "

"Yes, lord, suddenly there was so much burden." The attendant said, kneeling down and trying to help his master take off his boots, and Charlene had already picked up the quill and began to write to Louis XII.

"Your Majesty, the solidity of the castle of Montina is beyond our expectations. This makes me have to wonder whether the purpose of the large withdrawal of the Roman Thesia army was to lead us to the city of Montina, and then rely on the strong fortress and strong Our firepower consumes our troops, ”Charlene wrote with a little concern.“ Given that Roma ’s Compatie is not in Montina, I think it ’s necessary to remind you that maybe our enemies are brewing Conspiracy, because although we have trapped the enemy in front of us in the city, is it not that the enemy also restrained our army ... "

Charlene, who had written here, stopped. He wondered what to say, because he also knew that the next words were likely to anger the king, but the deeper doubts in his heart since he entered the Principality of Thesia Let him have to speak frankly: "Your Majesty ~ www.ltnovel.com ~ Bowwicken is also hanging out because he did not capture Pisa. In this way, although we have more troops than the enemy, the situation is not very good. In addition, the emperors and Venetian troops are approaching us, and the Queen of Naples is on the battlefield, so please allow me to suggest to you, please consider temporarily stopping marching in Florence, and if necessary, should we reconsider shrinking the front, Because we are indeed too far into the territory of Rome Thesia, please allow me to take the liberty to remind you not to forget the lessons of the first king, Florence is indeed a gem that anyone wants to pick, but this is also a temptation and a dangerous atmosphere Poppy. "

Xiaer Lun handed over the written letter to the attendant, and after carefully instructing him, let him leave.

Then, Charlene ordered again, launched a fierce attack on the castle of Montina!

On the same day, Louis XII of the garrison Pesha also issued an order to cross the Arno River and enter Florence.

In the south, on July 5, 1501, the Queen of Naples, Reza Cosenza Rastamala, led the Naples army into Siena City, which was less than 30 miles from Florence.

"You said that Florence has a special meaning to you," standing on the square of the Benedict Cathedral in Siena, known as the Red City, Ruosha's eyes have turned to the distance "Then brother, let's go to Florence."
