Vol 3 Chapter 135: To make

Carlo was a bit surprised by Alexander's order, but he immediately gave the order to the next trumpeter.
For a time, the horn sounded over the camp. Many Aggris were stunned for a while, and then threw away the things in their hands and ran towards the horn.
Alexander frowned slightly and looked at the Agari who were slower than usual. He noticed that many of them were bulging, and some of them kept falling down while running. When the Aggri finally gathered, Alexander Look at them carefully.
"So this is my army," he said back to Carlo. "If there is an enemy attack at this time, I think most people here can't escape at all."
"Adult, there are too many spoils here. It's very common for them to get something." Carlo whispered that he wanted to defend his men, but he also knew that no matter what the distinction was, it was useless. To the Agri people who were so rich and wealthy in front of them, it seemed that at this moment they had become somewhat lost.
Alexandre just shook his head and didn't refute him for Carlo's defense, and he did not order to call the army to teach people.
"The coalition knows that after the loss of the logistics camp, it is possible to launch more attacks and recapture them, so it must be prepared," Alexander said to Carlo. "All the captives are gathered. These people are precious hostages. We will count on them if necessary. Use them to resist the offensive of the coalition forces, and know that if there are enemies again, it will not be just a team of heavy cavalry. "
"Sir, if we leave with enough things now?" Carlo asked a little hesitantly, he didn't think his proposal was timid, but it was a little strange why Alexander knew that there might be a strong enemy coming, and insisted Stay in this camp that seems to have nothing to rely on for defense.
Alexander chuckled slightly. He wasn't angry because of Carlo's attempt to avoid the enemy's mind. On the contrary, he was somewhat relieved.
"It ’s good Carlo, at least you have n’t blindly obeyed just because of my orders. You know, I do n’t want you to be a pure echo bug. One day you have to lead an army by yourself, so for you to have Your own ideas are really important, "Alexander said while looking at the Agri who was preparing." But we ca n’t leave here now, because it ’s good for us now, Carlo. You do n’t know who you captured, or are in It seems to you that these people are just a ransom, but just an imperial palace is enough to drive the entire coalition crazy, not to mention so many nobles who come with him, but before that we must prepare to fight the enemy, Only then will the coalition be obedient to negotiate ransom with us. "
Carlo listened inexplicably. He only knew that he would fight again soon, which made him nervous and a little excited. The previous battle with the heavy cavalry made Carlo feel the courage and victory brought by galloping on the battlefield. The great satisfaction of him made him suddenly feel that his previous life suddenly became colorless. He doubted that if he was suddenly allowed to return to work in the farmland of Agri, or if he went back to be an Orion That's okay, or after experiencing such a life-and-death battle and stimulation, these Aggris can no longer adapt to that plain life.
The desire to fight is quietly becoming something etched deep in the hearts of the Agri people, especially after seeing such a rich loot, they have become full of desire for battle.
"I will honor my promise that all of you can get enough wealth for your children and grandchildren to live comfortably, but be prepared before then, otherwise your wealth may be taken away by others."
Alexander ’s words caused a sense of crisis among the Agri. Except for something that did not affect their fighting, they threw away the burden they carried. The atmosphere of the entire camp began to become tense, and they were gathered by some uneasy captives. Under the watch, the Agri began to demolish the camp and build temporary fortifications in accordance with Alexander's order.
"Let the captives work as well, but be careful of someone running away."
As Alexander ordered, he let Apero O'Fleui keep up with himself and came outside the camp. Looking back at this messy place like a big market, Alexander couldn't help shaking his head gently. It was really difficult to imagine a battle on the battlefield. There is such a scene, but he knows that this should be a unique landscape of this era. In fact, even if it is more than a few centuries, as long as there are troops stationed, it will often appear to be more lively, or it will make more people. Make a fortune, but looking at this camp that even the circus has, Alexander still feels a little funny. Thinking about this absurdity will continue for decades with this protracted Italian war, Alexander feels that things are not so strange. Too.
After all, there will be many people who have been entangled with this war all their lives, and even their fate is part of this decades-long war that broke out on the Italian peninsula. It became normal.
"We have to resist the enemy's first attack," Alexander said to Little Aufrei. "Tell me if there is a place where you can hide people. I mean a place where you can hide the cavalry."
"Adult, are you going to hide the Bohemians?" Apero O'Fleui thought and asked, and after seeing the questioning look cast by Alexander, he summoned the courage to continue saying, "Such a place like this It ’s a bit far away. If you allow me, I think you might be able to place the Bohemians in this campsite ’s river, which is a little low, but if you do n’t visit it, no one will notice that there will be people hidden in the river. . "
Alexandria looked at Little Orphei a little surprised. The nephew of the mason looked a little nervous at this time, but his eyes were clever.
"Or you are right, then let's go and see your river."
Alexander nodded, and he knew that Apelo Aufrei knew more here than he did. At this time, his words became a very important suggestion, but he still needed to see it for himself.
Little Aufrei said that the channel is a small river that flows from east to west. Looking at the direction of this river, it should flow from the direction of Rome to the Tyrrhenian Sea, but maybe because of the terrain, this small river has become slightly Rushing, and although the river was not widened, the river channel became much deeper.
Looking at the sloping river bank, and then looking back at the faintly visible camp, Alexander could understand the reason why the coalition forces placed the logistics camp here, probably considering the proximity to this river channel, and not because of the rain. Flooding and worrying about submerging the soaked camp.
"This is really a very suitable hidden place," Alexander nodded his applause, and saw little Orfrey showing excitement. He waved his hand and signaled that he could go back. "You will follow me during this time. I need you to take this terrain. Understanding, and drawing a more detailed map as soon as possible, which is very important to us. "
Apero O'Fleuid nodded in excitement at the same time, clutching his pocket tightly, which contained the sketch he had drawn before.
The advantage of having more people is that he can complete a lot of busy work as soon as possible. When Alexander returned to the camp, he was slightly surprised to find that there had been some obvious changes in the camp.
Many horse-drawn carriages have been pushed in the direction that the enemy may appear, and several obstructive tents have been removed. Instead, simple obstacles formed by some debris piled up on the wooden piles that originally erected the tent made Alexander most surprised. It's the Agri who didn't know where they actually searched for a cannon that was placed on a carriage and was not too small. It looked a little scary artillery!
The artillery was made of bronze, and the gleaming green luster of the cannon was etched with very complicated patterns. From the huge muzzle of the artillery, one can guess how terrible it would be to be hit by a shell fired by such an artillery.
"Sir, I really didn't expect that we would find an artillery," Carlo ran over excitedly. He slapped the artillery with his hands and thumped loudly. Then he said excitedly, "We have found some gunpowder, although The quantity is not very large but it is just useful to us. "
Alexander circled around the artillery with satisfaction. He knew that because the transportation and storage of gunpowder was not easy, most of the troops at this time were carrying a sufficient amount of gunpowder with them. This logistics camp seems to be more for the coalition. Provide food and various daily necessities, so it is rare to find a gun and not much gunpowder.
In fact, as long as you think about it, it is unrealistic to let these nobles travel with a lot of gunpowder and cannon weapons.
"How about Master Gongxiang?" Alexander asked, and he paid great attention to the nobleman of the Kotszach family in Salzburg. He knew whether he could negotiate with the coalition and get the reward he wanted. The importance of the palace minister on the coalition side.
"That lord, he's fine," Carlo shrugged his lips in disapproval. "Not only did he insist that his servants continue to serve him, but he also asked him to add a pigeon meat to his dinner at night, because yesterday He eats quail for dinner, and according to him, eating the same thing for two days in his position would lose his identity. "
"Give him what he wants, give him whatever he wants," Alexander nodded indifferently. "As long as he is cheerful and honest, he can meet his requirements."
Watching Carlo's helpless departure, Alexander smiled. He knew that his cavalry captain should not be accustomed to those nobles, but he wanted to come here more or was jealous.
"Apelo, you are a stonemason, tell me do you think we can block the enemy with this arrangement?"
After walking around the camp, Alexander asked the little O'Leigh next to him, "I know that the stonemasons are all good architects, at least I know a very good stonemason, maybe I can introduce you to one day. he."
"The grown-up I know is Master Michelangelo," O'Leary Jr. said a little excitedly. "I've seen his masterpiece. To be honest, if you can introduce me to him, I'd rather have less spoils."
"It's not difficult, now let's talk about your views on this camp," Alexander said casually. He didn't really care what little little Aufrei would say, but he still wanted him to talk more and gradually dispel him. Nervous "Do you think we can block it?"
"It should be ok, but I think it would be better if the carriages were not so flat." The little stonemason said casually, seeing Alexander's expression of inquiry, he licked his lips and continued, "I mean if Enemies who rushed to the front of our fortifications had to lean out and kill them. This is not good. If the carriage is not so smooth, you can just shoot slightly at the side, right? "
He stopped at the feet of Alexander. He looked at O'Leary a little surprised. Alexander, who hadn't expected any advice from him at first, felt that he really had an unexpected gain.
"Your method is good. Now, Apero, tell them what you said, and let them transform the fortification as you said." Alexander commanded with a smile, and the accident brought to him by the little stonemason made him feel like he could. This trip was really a big one, and at this time, looking at the camp where the torches had been lit as the sky darkened, he turned and walked to the palace tent.
Alfred von Kotzach is enjoying his dinner, which includes a hare hind leg, some smoked fish, a glass of wine, and a plate of ground quail meat he requested.
Miyazaki obviously did n’t like vegetables but more meat. When Alexander came in, he was grabbing the hare ’s hind leg, tearing away the food from Miyazaki ’s hands, picking up the wine glass, and capturing his enemies towards him. After raising his hand slightly, Gong Xiang slowly took a sip.
"Sir, you probably need to move your walk a little bit," Alexander looked around the tent. "If the coalition forces are not so happy with our conditions, there may be fighting, and I don't want you to be injured."
"If you aren't so greedy, maybe things will be easier to handle," Kotschah hummed in his nose. "30,000 Ducat, how dare you make such a large ransom."
"As far as I know, Lucrezia Borgia's dowry is about 30,000 Ducats. Do you think you are not as valuable as the Pope's daughter?"
"How dare you!" Kotschah stood up angrily, his eyes flashing with rage, and he sat down slowly after a while. "How dare you do it with an imperial palace and a lowly illegitimate child In comparison, I assure you that you will pay for what you do today. "
"Maybe, but it must be after you paid the ransom to leave here." Alexander saluted Kotzach, who looked ugly, and turned and walked out of the tent.
The sky was almost completely dark. Torches were lit everywhere in the camp, and the captives who were driven to work from time to time complained, but the Agris were not so polite to them, watching several prostitutes struggle to lift one. The newly cut tree branch moved into the gap between the two rows of carriages. Alexander couldn't help but shook his head slightly. The Agri was obviously a bit rude to these women, but he didn't want to stop it because if he guessed well, he had already taken it. The coalition that received the news would not agree to his terms so easily.
But he doesn't worry about Paul Busako ~ EbookFREE.me ~ because after all, there are many nobles in his hands besides Miyazaki, and this alone makes Busaco safe. .
It's just that he didn't know if Constantine had already taken out Charalon. After all, they took such a big risk this time to rescue Charalon.
Alexander had some thoughts about why Della Rovere attached so much importance to Charlene, but because he didn't know much, he could only guess wildly.
Alexander ’s guess was confirmed, and it was almost midnight when Busaco returned to the camp.
To his surprise, Busako also brought back two messengers.
And these two people are not new to him.
One of them was Mel de Cordova, the nephew of the young Castilian nobleman whom Alexander had seen in Naples, the coalition commander Gonzalo de Cordoba.
The other is the pretty mysterious woman next to the lowland merchant Grogening, Olgala.
