Vol 4 Chapter 159: Before the war

Calgino was very proud, although the sunlight above his head was a bit hot, but his mood was surprisingly good.
The family's victory in Genoa showed him not only the revival of Calgino, but also his own glorious future.
The governor of Genoa today is his uncle, but that person is very old, and the important figures in the family also recognize his important role.
Although the benefits of the honor of victory in the Battle of Oral seem to be smaller than the contributions of others in the family, Calgino has an advantage that no one else has.
He is still very young. For many people, he has only just emerged. This is where he has an advantage over others. Maybe he will not be the most important person in the family in 10 years, but as long as you wait patiently, the future The Calgino family must be his.
Calgino believes this is inevitable, but to achieve this requires a lot of accumulation of prestige and prestige.
Count Gumbre of Montina is a good choice. This young man is not strong, but because of some things he has done before, it has gradually attracted the attention of many people. The most important thing is that this man is the prospective son-in-law of the old Rovere family.
The status of the Rovere family in Genoa is equivalent to the identity of the Borgia family in Valencia in Castile. Although the two generations of the Rovere family seem to pay more attention to the development of the force to the church, the important figures of the two generations of the Rovere family have been in succession He held important positions in the church, but all Genoese knew that the Lovere family was always the ruler of Genoa.
So when the Calgino family decided to make an impact on the throne of the Governor, they had been carefully paying attention to the reaction of the Rovere family.
At the same time they sent emissaries to Milan. Although the previous conflict with the Sforza family had just passed, Calgino believed that as long as there were sufficient benefits, even the enemy of life and death could immediately become an enemy.
As it turned out, the Sforza family showed enough interest in restoring relations with Genoa, and they quickly brought the messenger back with a seemingly sincere reply. At the same time, Sforza The home ruler Ludwig even revealed his willingness to send troops to assist the Calginos.
For this "good intention", the Calgino family gently refused. They knew that the ambitions of the Milanese also need to be alert, and Calgino carefully considered the possible reaction of the Rovere family.
The reason why Calgino asked Alexander to surrender the Fort Montina was simple, but it was also impeccable, that is, they needed to guard against the Venetian invasion of Romagna.
This reason sounds totally unreasonable, but Calgino takes advantage of the grievances and hatreds that have formed between the two cities.
When did Venice and Genoa begin to hate each other? Many people simply did not know. They only knew that if they heard that a person was a resident of the other city, they would get along with each other hostilely.
Alexandria is the prospective son-in-law of the Loviré family, but he is not a Genoese.
If possible, he would even hook up with the Genoese, which is the reason why Calgino was able to propose to him the jurisdiction of Montina.
In other words, it was also what Alexander did in Pisa reminded Calgino that they thought they could imitate Alexander completely, and came to such a hand in Montina.
As for the attitude of the Rovere family, the Calginos have also considered it.
So the messenger they sent to Rome brought the old Rovere's letter with a clear explanation of the matter.
Calgino ingeniously explained this matter in the name of the Governor of Genoa and the Parliament. In the letter, the Rovere family repeatedly reaffirmed the irrefutable ownership of Montina, and Calvino believed that the Rovere family would not be in There was too much reaction in this matter.
All this happened so suddenly that when Genoa ’s army originally stationed on the edge of Romagna had already marched towards Montina, Alexander received some unreliable news.
Now, just about a day away from Montina, the Genoese army blocked the only way for Alexander to return to Montina, and the two sides faced each other across a not-so-plain plain.
Calgino decided to inspect his army again. The march was very hard in this weather. He saw many soldiers had to strip off their upper body, and the whole body was sweating forward, and the back of the heavy car was already It was full of armor and weapons that the soldiers had taken off.
Not so, Calgino had a bad idea in his mind. He did not think that the Montina dared to take the initiative to attack his army, but now the Genoese still makes him feel that he needs to get the team into as soon as possible. The state of battle.
Fortunately, an army is always on guard. This is the unit led by Calgino. Although such hot weather makes them unable to wear armor, their weapons never leave their side.
"Gombre should be nearby," Calgino, who got the news from the scout, was quite sure. He knew that Alexander had the only way to return to Montina. Now as long as he initiates the offensive, the Montina army It is difficult to avoid the fate of being annihilated in field battles.
He was deeply impressed by the Battle of Aural, which convinced him that if he wanted to defeat the Montina, he must fight with them in the field without barriers, not silly to send his army to Monti The Na people had already constructed a fortification to go to the death.
The news from Livorn also proved that his idea was correct again. Alexander, with weak troops and Caesar, relied on simple fortifications constructed outside the city, which not only brought down Caesar's army. , And even captured Caesar himself.
Field battles, only field battles can wipe out the Montina people, this idea is getting deeper into Calgino ’s heart, so when he heard the news of Alexander ’s whereabouts, he would rather venture into the plains to meet Alexander, rather than let go of this difficult good opportunity.
A scout rushed forward, bringing him good news in Calgino's earnest hope.
"The Montina are entering the plain?" Calgino was slightly stunned, and then burst out laughing. "Oh, that Gombre, I know what he is thinking, but he's really courageous and appetizing."
Calgino smiled to the officers next to him: "He didn't defend in place at this time, but he took the initiative to approach us, probably hoping to be as close as possible to Montina, if so, as long as he resisted us The offensive may also be able to strike us back and forth with the defender from Montina. "
Seeing his men with worried expressions, Calgino laughed again.
"So do you think they can persevere, or do you think the Montina can block our attack?" Calgino's face sank slightly after asking with a joke. "Now we ordered to temporarily slow down the march, we are away from Mongolia Tina is far enough away, and Gumbre needs to march in order to get as close as possible. This is a good thing for us. We rest here and wait and then defeat Gumbre in one fell swoop. I will not despise any enemy, even the Montina . "
Calgino's words made the officers smile. They always trusted Calgino because he did lead them to many victories. The most important thing is that this person is a real person who knows how to use his army. This makes His men trusted in his judgment.
The Genoese began to slow down the march. They needed to put the soldiers in armor and claim weapons. It really took some time. In addition, as Calgino said, he was ready to wait for Alexander, and then after he exhausted and rushed to the battlefield, He launched a deadly attack on him.
Alexander was indeed on his way, and as Calgino said, he needed to be as close as possible to Montina.
A season like Tuscany might be comfortable to travel far away, but for the march, he suffered a bit. Looking at the soldiers sweating, Alexander couldn't help but exhale deeply.
There is already a way to enter this plain. According to the report of the scout, the distance between the two sides was about 20 miles, and it should have been much closer.
Alexander didn't know Calgino's plan, but after estimating that he might have been close to the Genoese, he did not want to, but he had to order the team to slow down.
Alexander could understand that Calgino tried to defeat him by avoiding facing the fortifications of the castle of Montina, so he was more careful, because his success or failure was related to his victory and defeat, but also to his Whether the entire territory can be kept.
So far I have not heard any news about Rovere, which makes Alexander feel at ease and can not help wondering what the Rovere family's attitude is in this matter.
In other words, Old Rovere is ready to make a decision after they get a result?
Thinking of this possibility, Alexander couldn't help but send Lucrezia back to Pisa early, because he thought of using the old gangster of Old Rovere, how could he not think that he would choose Pizza as a retreat.
So if he fails on the battlefield, is Lucrecia really safe in Pisa?
Alexander tried to get rid of the thoughts that bothered him, and then repeatedly told himself that he should put all his thoughts in front of him. Calgino was not so good to deal with.
Scouts kept bringing news. When it was almost noon and heard that the Genoese seemed to be slowing down the march, Alexander vaguely guessed Calgino's idea.
"He is forcing us to take the initiative to attack," Gumpati clearly guessed the Genoese. When he heard that he was very close to the Genoese, he had already sent people to explore the terrain. Now he left to propose. I thought about the suggestion of the night.
It ’s good for us to delay the time. Perhaps at this time, Aurei has received news from Montina. As long as we can persist for a while, even if the situation is not good, it is possible to obtain Aurei. support."
"But how do we know if Aufrei has already sent troops," an Aggri was worried. "Perhaps he was thinking of guarding Montina at this time, and if it was too far away, his army might not be able to Arrived in time, should n’t we be as close to Montina as possible? "
"What we need is to occupy a favorable terrain instead of blindly approaching Montina," Gumpati said fiercely. "Compared with the Genoese, we have no advantage in the wild. It would be too bad for us to enter the position they chose. "
"But then at least we can get closer to Montina," a Captain Agrie said disapprovingly. "We all know that the closer you are to Montina, the better it is for us. At least our gunshots can make Ofrey follow that. Shout down on the bed of the bricklayer girl. "
There was a round of laughter all around, and an Aggri mischievously made ambiguous movements, which caused a rougher laugh from the Bohemians next to him.
Alexander glanced at the somewhat pretentious Aggris, but without a word of reprimand.
He knew that these people were actually covering up the tension in his heart in this way, just as he was not so calm on the surface. For the upcoming battle, whether it was a soldier or an officer, it was actually far less calm. calm.
"Look here for the terrain and prepare to camp."
Alexandria finally gave the order. Although he knew that as the Agrigans said, the closer to Montina, the better for them, but when he thought of the tyranny of the Genoese army, he had to first consider Gompati Suggestions.
For the orders of Alexander, although the Agries were helpless, they still acted on their orders. Since the moment when they walked out of the mountains in Agri, the Agri have been connected with Alexander, because they know their own The situation, if there is a possibility that Gompati may leave one day in the future, then there is only one way out for the Agri.
Either follow Alexandria to glory, or fall into the abyss with him.
The people dispatched by Gompati were very clever, which was also one of the reasons why they were selected by Gompati as artillery. At least when the two people came up with a picture that was sloppy but still understandable, Alexander quickly Get a rough idea of ​​the outline of this place nearby.
This is the northwestern part of a plain on the east bank of the North Arno River. This plain is actually gradually sloping from east to west, and finally gradually enters the Direnian Sea, and they are here on a large low-lying ground.
Not far from them, there is a small hill, from which you can almost overlook the entire low-lying land, which makes the topography of that hill extremely important.
"Adult, if our artillery is erected there, we can control a large area near that hill," a man said to Gompati, and he could not help raising his hands and gesturing. "It's a bit far away, but We have carefully observed that if the Genoese want to climb that mountain, it is not easy, because there is a small river flowing from the north of the mountain. If we fire artillery from the mountain, their people ca n’t even cross the river. "
The words of the artillery scout caught Alexander's attention, and he immediately asked in detail about the hill. When he knew that the hill was steeper in the north than in the south ~ EbookFREE.me ~ He couldn't help but glance at Compati.
"Do you think if the battle is here, will Calgino choose to occupy that hill?"
Alexandre's inquiry made Gompati contemplative. He knew that his answer might bring a very different ending to Montina's army. This made Gompati want to open his mouth several times, but he couldn't help but shudder.
Although he didn't say anything, Gompati's expression had given Alexander the answer. He looked at the humble map again, and after a while he finally raised his head.
"Just here," Alexander extended his finger and lightly tapped on the map. "Ordered the army to advance towards this low depression," said Alexander reaching out and firmly grasping Gompati's shoulder and shaking it vigorously. "Listen to Gompati." , I give you the fate of Montina, remember that I will go to you in person, and then watch your artillery fire on the Genoese. "
Hearing Alexander's words, Compatti's heart throbbed. He turned his head slightly to look at the hill where he could not see the hill. He knew it would be the most terrible in a battle.
