Vol 5 Chapter 120: The Great Siege (33)

Alexander saw a slight sigh as he watched another shell hit a deep crater not far from the city wall, and the rising dust pours across his face.
Whether he could hold Bucharest or not, he was also a little shaken at this time.
The Ottoman army was more difficult to deal with than he had imagined, especially the power of their artillery. It is worthy of being the army with the largest firepower in the world.
Alexander wondered if it was time to consider the plan to bring Sophia to break through.
In Alexander's vision, eventually running with Sophia was undoubtedly the last and most helpless way.
The generous return of the Hungarian copper mine is enough to offset the cost of this adventure. Although the Montina army has paid nearly a quarter of casualties for this purpose, because of the supplement of the Balkans, at least in terms of military sources Feel embarrassed.
More importantly, after continuous battles and repeated tempering with blood and fire, this army has gradually been transformed into a whole, whether it is the Agri who he regarded as the backbone, or Genoa that has been incompatible with other troops from the beginning. People, the Montina army at this time was like a solid alloy that was tightly condensed together, and the iron hammer that could not be tempered on this alloy was the artillery fire and repeated charges of the Ottoman army.
"It's not reconciling," Alexander sighed softly in his heart. He felt that he was close to success. If he fled Bucharest at this time, he obviously regretted his accomplishments.
And he believes that if he leaves like this, Ladislas II will definitely tear up the agreement between them, so that his voyage is really a heavy loss.
In addition, according to the military supply agreement signed with the Venetians, he was to successfully prevent the Ottomans from invading. If he left in this way, and Ottomans continued to march west after capturing Bucharest, then it is undoubtedly equivalent to not performing with Venice. Human agreement.
It seems that we must persevere. Alexander, who came to this conclusion, was a bit helpless. At this time, he only hoped that Busako, who had raided the Ottoman artillery position, would succeed. Otherwise, with such fierce artillery fire, the walls of Bucharest City might not last long.
Alexander felt that Bucharest had not yet been attacked. Among them, the biggest hero should be Hurva. If he did not lead his army to contain the destruction in the Ottoman occupation zone, it caused a lot of trouble to the enemy. Perhaps Ottoman ’s chilling giants The gun had already been transported to the front.
After another fierce shelling, Alexander bent down slightly involuntarily. He was preparing to observe the position of the shells in order to deal with it, but he did not expect that the opposite Ottoman barracks suddenly vacated and a billowing smoke came up.
"What happened?" Alexander asked involuntarily, even turning his head to look aside.
"Sir, I don't know ..." A soldier replied blankly, and then screamed excitedly as if he suddenly understood something. "God, there was a shot! He, someone is shooting at them!"
Alexandria's heart suddenly threw up, and he immediately looked in the direction of the Ottoman artillery position. At this time, he vaguely saw a team of Ottoman troops running back and forth, but they did not seem to be advancing towards the city wall. On the contrary, they seemed What is in the opposite direction?
"Busak, Busak succeeded!"
Alexander slapped the next battlement hard, and his mood suddenly dimmed.
He knew that the raid was very dangerous, and it could even be said that it was a gamble of death. Whether Busako could come back alive is a very slim thing.
Alexander was staring closely at the direction of the artillery position. He hoped to see the signs that Busaco ’s troops could break through. Although such a chance may be too slim, he could not help expecting a miracle.
Suddenly, the direction of the artillery position came again with earth-shattering loud noises, huge fireballs rose into the sky, and the ground vibration even felt faintly in the direction of Bucharest City.
There was a loud noise, and the smoke had completely enveloped the artillery position in the distance.
"It's artillery and explosives. Busako destroyed the Ottoman artillery." Alexander felt his heart loose, and a stone fell to the ground instantly.
Without artillery support, the Ottomans could only rely on their army to forcibly attack the city, and the tens of thousands of coalition forces in the city relied on a solid wall to compete with the Ottoman army.
Alexander raised his arms high, just about to cheer, but heard a sudden clamor coming from the direction of the Ottoman barracks.
The hustle and bustle came so suddenly, and so flustered, as if something terrible had suddenly arrived, instantly making the Ottoman barracks chaotic!
Alexander immediately looked in the direction of the noise, and he noticed that it was the place where he had just been shelled.
At this time, the smoke had gradually dissipated. From a distance, you could see that the barracks where the tent was originally lined were already devastated.
Many tents are still burning, and the ground is full of debris shattered and shattered by shells.
But the behavior of the Ottomans did n’t just look like they were bombarded. They were running non-stop, and they seemed to be crazy like this. At the same time, countless cavalrymen were rushing out of the barracks crazy, but they After rushing out of the barracks, they immediately separated and ran wild towards the troops in the camp.
At the same time, with the sound of the rumbling horn, a large number of guards poured into the barracks. Once the guards rushed into the barracks, they immediately surrounded one of the places.
Soon after, the Ottoman army began to move around the barracks, and the armies approached the place, and then a team of Ottoman troops exploded the piece from the periphery like an enemy. The unrecognizable barracks were tightly enclosed in the center!
Alexander stared blankly at the movement of the Ottoman army in the distance. Although he didn't know what was happening, he guessed that something had happened!
From the movement of the Ottoman army and the formation of the battle formation before they left the barracks, their enemies were not so much Bucharest as they were actually dealing with their neighbors.
"Something went wrong, what exactly did you blow up Busako?"
Alexander had a vague idea in his heart, but because it might be too incredible, he felt really ridiculous.
But what happened next made his idea in his heart gradually become stronger.
The Ottoman troops that were on the offensive suddenly stopped, and the soldiers who heard the troop horn in front of them looked back blankly, and the troops in the back had already turned around and retreated, even in desperation, urged by their respective commanders. The companions who were thrown forward against the arrows and projectiles dropped from the walls were ignored.
The Ottoman army in other directions also moved after getting the news. The entire front was gradually detached, and the Ottomans retreated in the direction of their barracks like a tide.
At this time, Alexander had already determined that a tremendous change had taken place in the Ottoman barracks. Although it was still not certain what happened under the bombardment of Busako, it was clear that the Ottomans were panicked.
"Send a regiment," Alexander suddenly ordered, "Go and pick them up."
Previously, it was determined that Busako had no chance to break through, so although Alexander was sad, he did not send someone to support him, because the loss caused by that would be even greater.
But now the Ottoman panic has given him the opportunity.
Rona Pannoni ran over, and the commander of the Balkan regiment was sweaty and his mouth opened like a goldfish that had left the water.
"Sir, I'm going, I have to bring my people back!"
"Go, but if you are lucky you can bring them back, they are not yours anymore." Alexander stood on the city wall and looked at the chaotic Ottoman barracks at this time. "I will expand them into a new one. Regiment, Busako hopes you will have the opportunity to become the leader of this regiment. "
Rona Pannoni could not hear anything behind Alexander at this time. He took his Balkans out of the gap where Busako left, and when he saw the Ottoman army running back and forth from a distance, he raised Both hands, axe and saber gleamed at the same time.
"Kill the past!"
Pannon made a roar, knowing that the Ottomans were fierce, but surrounded by his fellow countrymen, he could not watch them just cut into pieces by the enemy.
The Balkans roared and swarmed up, and they were ready to start a battle with the enemy.
But what they did not expect was that the Ottoman army opposite did not seem to notice them at all. A horn sounded from the team, and the Ottomans immediately turned their direction and rushed towards the barracks in the direction of the Barkans who had almost rushed to the nearby. go with.
The Ottomans seemed to be driven by the invisibility of the whip. The panic and tension even affected the Balkans. Looking at the Ottomans running across from the front of their team, Pannoni couldn't help but raise his hand to stop his companion who had to rush up Them.
"What the happened?" Pannoni murmured. He had encountered such a thing, and the Ottoman army ran to the barracks in the distance as if they were hit by evil spirits.
And although it was still a little far away, Pannoni could still feel the suffocating breath faintly coming from there when he watched the Ottoman army gathered densely near the barracks.
On the city walls, it can be seen more clearly, and the entire Ottoman barracks has undergone tremendous changes in a short period of time.
The barracks that were originally densely stationed were obviously cleared, and the signs of smoke and dust were continually rising. It can be vaguely seen that the Ottoman army has quickly split into different pieces, and they are guarding each other. The atmosphere is tense.
The abnormal changes in the Ottoman barracks attracted the attention of the Bucharest. Many nobles had heard the news of the wall. When they saw the panic like the end of the Ottoman barracks in the distance, many people couldn't help but cheered excitedly.
Ladislas II also boarded the city walls under the protection of the guards. He mouthed slightly, he didn't know what to say for a while, but then he shouted as if he understood something: "Sudan, It is Sudan! "
Although at this time everyone had guessed that there should be something unexpected in Sudan, the king's shout still caused a burst of cheers from the people on the city wall.
"It is Sudan."
Alexander ’s voice came from behind the king, and Ladislas II turned back to see Alexander with a dirty body, the blood on the wound had become dark, but there was an uncontrollable excitement on his face The officer came over.
"Your Majesty, this is my guard captain Busako. He just attacked the Ottoman artillery position," Alexander said, waving his hand to Busaco. "Come on, what happened."
Busako's lips twitched slightly, and he still didn't believe what he had just experienced.
"We were all a little bit panicky at the time," Busako said without a word, before realizing that this was too inexplicable, he quickly moved his body and bowed to the king before continuing. "Because of fear of seizure The artillery fell back into the hands of the Ottomans, and we had to blow up all the artillery, but before that we saw that some of the artillery had turned into shells, and we randomly fired several artillery into the Ottoman barracks.
"What did you hit?" Ladislas II's voice shuddered.
"Sorry, we didn't see it clearly," Busako's answer discouraged the nobles, but then his words made them uneasy. "We only noticed that the tents in those places looked large and gorgeous. , A large tent seems to be white. "
"God, that is Sudan's royal account!" Someone in the crowd exclaimed.
Although it has been guessed that such a sudden change in the Ottoman camp should be related to what happened to the Sudan himself, when it was proved from Busako, people still exclaimed.
Ladislas II stretched out his hand and squeezed it together without shaking, and finally he sighed with a cross on his chest.
"God, this is the grace that God has given us, Bucharest is where God really cares."
He said that the King took a few steps forward and hugged Busaco's shoulders, and could not beat.
"Good job, young man, good job!"
After the king finished speaking, he looked at Alexander, but his eyes became a little gloomy.
Alexander stood silently watching this scene. He knew that Ladislas II probably regretted the signing of the agreement of the Hungarian copper mine before this time.
Judging from the signs of the accident in the Ottoman barracks now, it is likely that something happened in the Sudan. Since this is the case, the Ottoman army at this time may have been messed up by the accident in Sudan, and may even be a sudden death of the Sudan Civil war broke out at any time.
This is by no means a wild guess.
After the death of Charlemagne, his empire was quickly divided into three points by his children and grandchildren; and Alexander the Great had just swallowed, and his generals broke out in a fierce conflict in order to compete for his body, and then developed into a brutal civil war. .
The two sons of Bayesert II are now fighting for the future Sultan Baoming, and his generals will be divided into different factions because of their close relationship with the two princes.
The current Ottoman Barracks is like a huge gunpowder barrel. Perhaps a little bit of Mars may trigger a terrible explosion.
Obviously, Ladislas II had thought of this.
Perhaps in his view, the Ottomans may not have threatened him, so he suddenly showed that look, thinking that he might be thinking about how to break the contract at this time.
There was another hustle and bustle in the Ottoman barracks. The Ottoman army, which was originally near the royal camp, immediately became restless. From a distance, a group of Ottoman cavalry was running around the Sultan's royal camp. Passing very close to the Royal Camp, they were all blocked by the Sudanese Guards who were blocking it.
Obviously, the commander of this unit seemed to be trying to approach the camp to investigate the news, but the close guarding of the Guards undermined his plan.
"We have to know what happened," Ladislas II finally made up his mind. He looked back at the nobles who were eager to try, knowing that they probably became loud because they saw the opportunity. "We should send people and Ottoman negotiations. "
As soon as the king's words were spoken, he suddenly realized that the atmosphere around him seemed a bit wrong.
He immediately noticed that people's eyes were involuntarily looking at Alexander who was standing on the side. Although no one spoke, the inquiring look had already explained everything.
Ladislas II's complexion instantly dimmed, and he also looked up at Alexander, and at the same time asked in a cold tone: "Then Count, who do you think we should let us negotiate with the Ottomans, you know this is very Dangerous missions, maybe the Ottomans may have civil strife at any time, so ... "
"Why should we negotiate with the Ottomans?"
Alexander suddenly interrupted the king's words. His behavior made everyone around him look surprised. People looked at him in amazement, and then looked at the king who was also surprised by the accident.
"God, this is too rude, Count, you interrupted your majesty!"
A waiter questioned Alexander angrily, but his words just fell, and Busaco next to him had drawn a full-blown saber on his shoulder.
The king's attendants were taken aback, and they pulled out their weapons one after another, and behind Alexander, along with a series of weapons, the guards and a group of Greeks surged up.
For a time, the Ottoman army outside the city confronted each other, while the coalition forces on the city wall were fierce.
Ladislas II stared silently at Alexandria not far away, looked at the Greeks beside him, and then looked at the Balkan aristocrats who seemed to be watching coldly. The king's heart couldn't help but burst of unspeakable bitterness. And angry complex mood.
He knew that the Balkans were watching good shows.
The king never imagined that the threat from the Ottomans had just disappeared, and the Balkans were already thinking of abandoning him.
Obviously, these Balkan nobles actually have no good feelings for all foreigners. Now that the two of them suddenly have a conflict, the Balkan nobles immediately show a stance of disagreement.
Ladislas II gritted his teeth secretly in anger. The current situation is actually still unfavorable to him. The Bosnians have not retreated from Hungary. Even if the news is received, Royce will immediately withdraw his troops, but the king is worried about Maxi It was precisely at this time that Emperor Mi’an would use the pretext of resisting the pagans ’troops to intervene in the affairs of southern Hungary.
If that were the case, the king believed that even if Roy? Would eventually withdraw his troops, the emperor would do everything possible to find an excuse to stay in Hungary.
That's what Ladislas II was most worried about.
"Count, what do you think we should do?"
Ladislas II can hardly remember how he said this. When his eyes crossed the faces of the Balkan nobles next to him, there was an almost uncontrollable sense of humiliation that made him lightly Shivering.
"Strike," Alexander said without hesitation. "At this time, only striking is used to prove our speculation."
The Balkans around looked at each other, and gradually they saw the same thing in the eyes of others.
"Strike!"
"Strike!"
"Attack on the Ottomans!"
The shouts began to spread from the walls to the surroundings, and more and more people shouted.
Ladislas II looked at Alexander coldly. He knew that Alexander had won.
Not only in this decision to test the Ottomans, Alexander clearly knew how to cater to these Balkans.
"Adult, if you can allow me to continue to lead those two companies, I will be grateful to you." Busako said nervously. "I know I let them lose a lot, but I still hope you can let me command them . "
"You are doing very well, but you can no longer be on the battlefield."
Alexander's words made Busaco look disappointed.
"Your subordinates need rest, and you need rest and treatment even more," Alexander continued, and then he suddenly hugged Busaco in front of everyone. "Thank you for everything, my friend, now left Leave it to me. "
After talking ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Alexander suddenly shouted out to the crowd behind him: "Pannoni!"
"I'm here, Lord Landlord!" Pannoni squeezed out of the crowd. He also carried the saber in his hand. Pannoni quickly put the knife away when he saw the king's eyes.
"Your fellow countrymen may have done a big deal. Next I will look at you. Now I will take your troops to attack immediately. I want to see how the Ottomans react."
"Observe, Lord Landlord!"
Pannoni shouted and turned to run under the wall. Just after he left, the Balkan nobles suddenly shouted and ran down the wall.
Ladislas II looked at those people coldly. When only him and Alexander were on the wall, the king asked softly: "Count, do you think that if the Sultan really died, what would happen next?"
The king's inquiry made Alexander slightly stunned. His eyes couldn't help but look at the Ottoman barracks in the distance. After a little deep thought, he slowly shook his head: "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I don't know, but I'm sure, if that is the case, maybe many things It's going to change. "
