Vol 4 Chapter 12: Oral's War (5)

At noon on May 3, 1497, Venice deputy Pitiliuno made a noon prayer in the church in the city of Realo.
His piety was praised by the church pastor, especially after he promised to donate a huge amount of money to the church, the pastor asserted that the devout Venetian would do what he wanted, and realize his most desired desire.
To the priest ’s prediction, Pitiliuno only responded with a smile. He knew that all this was due to the money he dedicated to the church, but he did need such a good reputation, especially when he decided to take advantage of this After the opportunity of war allowed him to regain the trust of the Governor, he even needed this kind of public opinion that seemed not very reliable, but was important to most people.
Pitiliuno needs to let ordinary people in Venice remember him too. This can't just rely on military merit. After all, for ordinary citizens, sometimes miracles such as sacred sites sometimes attract their attention, as long as Being able to build a reputation among ordinary people, Pitiliuno believes that he will have the opportunity for Governor Babarig to reuse him.
After all, for the Venetians, sometimes a controversial hero attracts people ’s attention more than a ruled general.
Pitiliuno believed that he could never win by the grace of God. He knew that this is no longer an era of deceiving people who rely on unreliable frequent sacred miracles. He relies on careful planning and accuracy of the enemy. Judgment.
Pitiliuno dared to divide the strength into two, that is, he guessed that Giovanni would not take the initiative to attack him. Now it seems that his guess is correct.
After leaving the Chimones, the Pope did not take the opportunity to march to Realo, but instead detoured to the east of Realo on a rather strange route.
Pitiliuno did not doubt Giovanni ’s purpose in doing so, if he had a chance, he would cut off his retreat, cut off his connection with the Venetian and the supply line, but he also knew that this should not be Giovanni ’s real purpose Obviously, Giovanni wanted to make the Genoese and the coalition consume each other, and only then took advantage of the opportunity when both sides lost both sides.
Pitilino walked outside the church. The sunlight on his head made him feel dazzling. After putting the wide brim hat on his head, he looked to the side and waited for the anxious adjutant who was waiting outside.
"Sir," the adjutant yelled, and the voice was a little quick. After seeing the eyes cast by Pitiliuno, he paused again. "Oral, it should have been fighting."
Pitiliuno nodded slowly. He knew that the adjutant would be so nervous because of the battle in Oral. If everything went well in that battle, they would not even have to fight the Vatican for a real fight, they might be persecuted. Giovanni, who had become solitary, had to choose to retreat.
The adjutant knew that Oral ’s battle was too important for Pitiliuno, because he wanted more than victory, but more importantly, he wanted to win at a small price.
The reason why Pitiliuno won the Battle of Fornovo was not only not appreciated by the Governor Barbaregg, but he even once was left idle at home. One of the important reasons is that the Venetians suffered during the Battle of Fornovo. A huge loss.
Because of this, Pitiliuno needed a near victory record to prove that he is still the best general in Venice,
"Don't worry, Giulio, we will definitely win. Don't forget that we have 15,000 people in Oral. Unless that Calgino is a fool, his only option is to retreat."
Pitiliuno comforted his lieutenant, and at the same time he looked out of the city of Realo.
"Perhaps we should now consider how to rank the Duke of Gandino, after all, he is the enemy we have to deal with in this war."
Pitilino's judgment of the enemy was indeed accurate. Calgino was not a fool, so he chose to let his right wing slowly retreat toward the edge of the road.
He did n’t even wait for his army to fight the Venetian even for a brief battle and ordered the army to give way to the Oral side, but at the same time Calgino ordered his left wing toward the town. The order to retreat from the north.
The Genoese began to move, and a team of Genoese soldiers moved north along the edge of the town. No one cared about what would happen to the south of Oral town when they gradually exposed the Venetian as they gave up their positions, even when watching As the Venetians moved along the road towards the edge of the town as they retreated, some of the Genoese laughed ridiculously.
"The Earl of Montina is in serious trouble this time," a mercenary walked slowly in the field carrying a spear, and there was a whistling noise in his clothes and bags. That was all his belongings, for those gold and silver. The soldier even threw away his half-body armor. "The Venetian will let him know how powerful."
The soldier said that he would take a few steps forward to catch up with his companion in front, and then struggled to climb a slightly elevated low slope.
Although the low is not high, but still can clearly see the scene on the plains in the distance,
The soldiers saw the familiar winged lion flag of the Venetians begin to move closer to the abandoned wall built in the earlier town. Behind the winged lion flag was a venetian army gradually flowing across the open area.
"It's really a big trouble," the soldier shook his head. "The poor worms from Naples were so unlucky this time, but they were under the guise of such an unlucky guy."
"But thanks to this Earl of Montina, otherwise we are the hapless one," the other mercenary shook his head slightly with his shield on his hand. "The Naples are finished, and the Venetians will occupy the south side of the town as long as they continue to advance. It ’s not easy for them to get out of town now. "
The Genoese standing far away were talking, and some experienced veterans even pointed out the novices from time to time.
"So I have to keep my eyes alive in the future, and run away as soon as I see the situation is not good. We need to know that we earned a lot of money for the lord lords as soldiers, but there is no need to put all of our lives into it. Life can be spent, "an veteran guided two young mercenaries around him." It ’s not smart enough to look at the Neapolitans. At the moment, they still do n’t want to leave the town. Just know that the Venetians just go down the town south. They can be completely surrounded, and by that time, their money will become a trophy for the Venetians. "
The veteran shook his head uncontrollably, he seemed to have seen the scene of the death of the Naples, but his sigh seemed a little too mindful, and he did not know whether it was for the fate of the Naples or for those who eventually fell on others. Sorry for the loot in his hand.
Calgino rode expressionlessly on the horse, his helmet's armor had been raised, but the look on his face at this time was no more amiable than wearing a mask,
"Sir, the Venetians seem to be slowing down," one man reminded Calgino. "It seems that their left wing is reorganizing."
Calgino nodded silently. He had noticed that the Venetian pressure on him was gradually slowing down, which made him know that the enemy seemed to understand his intentions.
Even if there is an unsolvable feud, it is not impossible to compromise.
The Venetian may feel that he can win more than 7,000 against him this time, but if Calgino refuses to fight, the Venetian may not be able to completely defeat him for a while.
Since it is impossible to win quickly, perhaps another prey that seems easier to catch has become the Venetian's target.
Alexander stood at the end of the road not far from the southern end of the town. It happened to be the apex of the central road of Oral town turning slightly to the north. From here, you can clearly see the coalition marching towards Oral town.
Although the enemy's queue looks dense and tight, it is not difficult to distinguish between Milan and Venetian.
Milanese light-colored tops and Venetian dark coats look very different, and the Milan cavalry wearing shining armor passing through the gap between the infantry of the first team is even more conspicuous.
"It seems that your situation is not good," Olgala, who was standing next to Alexander, said in a slightly pityful tone, "If I come to them at this time to put forward conditions for you, maybe it can help you overcome this difficulty. . "
"Madam, this battle is indeed a difficult issue for me," Alexander said, not caring about Olgala. He nodded to this beautiful woman. "And if I can, I really want to avoid this battle, but we all Knowing this is impossible. "
"Why is it impossible?" Olgala narrowed his eyes when he looked at Alexander. "We all know that this war has nothing to do with you. You can stay out of it if you want."
"But my fiancée is Barendi de la Rovere, and I am the Earl of Montina. This alone is enough to make it impossible for me to escape from this war."
Olgala ’s beautiful and charming eyes narrowed again, and her way reminded Alexander of the glorious and well-preserved purebred cats in the Persian palace, but Olgala looked more charming than those. The Persian cat is more attractive.
"Or you don't want to avoid this battle, in fact, I have a feeling that what you have been waiting for is such a moment."
Olgala looked at Alexander's face seriously after he finished speaking, and seemed to want to prove that his judgment was correct from his subtle expression.
But Alexander just put the mask on the helmet at this time.
His eyes looked at Olgala through the gap in the mask.
"Madam, you should leave. The next town of Aral will be something you don't want to see."
Olgara's apparently did not want to leave so easily, but then Alexander's words soon came to pass.
When she saw the first team of venetians lined up in dense formations within sight of the road, a loud deafening gunshot, though not regular, suddenly poured into Mrs. Olgala ’s ear!
The young lady opened her mouth instantly and screamed hysterically, but she soon discovered that she could not hear her voice at all.
But then, the huge sound that seemed to completely pierce the ear holes, so that Mrs. Olgala had no time to issue a second scream and swept through again.
At the same time, with the harsh smoke between the harsh choking smoke, Mrs. Olgala felt that her throat was suddenly filled with soot, making her breathless!
But what was really scary was not the smell of smoke and gunpowder. Olgala heard the screams looming in the reverberating gunfire in the distance of the smoke, followed by a spitting voice The smell mixed with the smell of gunpowder flooded the town.
Olgara felt her chest feel dull and almost vomited after just smelling it. She reached out and grabbed Alexander ’s cold armor tightly, her lips trembling and pale and said, "Oh, no, I have to leave here. Stay here. "
Alexander raised his hand and helped Mrs. Olgala, looking at the beauty who was now in a state of embarrassment, Alexander smiled slightly at her.
"Madam, please tell your master, I look forward to having the opportunity to meet him again," Alexander certainly knows that Olgala's presence in Oral at this time is certainly not a coincidence, think carefully since you left Naples. He hadn't met Grogening from the lowland area. He believed that the lowland businessman was probably a bit impatient.
"Let me take you away, ma'am."
Alexander did not look back at the scene on the battlefield. In fact, after a battle began, it was often no longer under the control of the commander. When he heard the sound of rifles starting from behind, and was reorganized after being hit. As the formation began to scream from the Venetians charged, Alexander put a stone on his heart instead.
Finally started!
Alexander told himself in his heart.
Olgala's entourage was south of the town, and the entourage obviously relieved when they saw the figure of the hostess.
When Alexandria helped Olgalala to board the carriage, Olgala hesitated and suddenly leaned over and kissed gently on Alexander's helmet.
"I know you won't care about my blessings, but I still wish you victory."
After she finished, she vigorously rattled the car bell, and the horse took a step in the driver's loud shouting.
When the carriage was on its way, the close-fitting maid sitting next to Olgalla finally asked, "Ma'am, do you think Earl Montina can win?"
"I don't know ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Olgala turned his head towards the town of Alar, who was completely obliterated and shouted at this time, with the fierce shooting of the rifle." That person, let me I feel that, like the old Grogening, it becomes more and more unreadable. "
Olgara's team soon left the town of Aural, and when the carriage just drove outside the town to the road to Genoa, a tremendous roar came suddenly from behind!
The roaring waves suddenly struck like a volcanic eruption, and the horse started running rushing because of the fright, and the coachman could not control it with his best efforts.
The loud noise made Olgala sitting in the car instinctively cover his ears with his hands, and the maid next to him was pale because he was unprepared, and his forehead directly hit the wooden board in the panic.
"what is that?!"
The maid yelled in horror, and Olgala suddenly turned to look at the town of Aurar, still ringing.
On the platform in the south of Oral town, watching the coalition forces rush to the town like a tide, Gompati yelled to the gunner standing behind the fanned artillery: "Target, the town center road, fire!"
