Vol 5 Chapter 129: Long night (on)

There was a lot of gunfire, and bursts of shouts came from the courtyard!
Sophia stood up in surprise, she quickly walked to the window and instantly saw countless figures running in the yard, busy.
The gunshot came so violently and suddenly that the flames on the wax table on the table seemed to shake slightly because of this accident.
Sophia turned to look at Alexander. Although she was a little surprised, she was not afraid. When she saw that Alexander had come behind her, she was not as surprised as she was, and Ruosha at the table was still loading the muskets. Sophia was a little angry.
She pushed away Alexander and tried to walk out of the door, but her arm was pulled tight by Alexander.
Sophia swept across the faces of both Alexander and Ruosha with a stern look, and at this moment she suddenly felt like an outsider.
"Some things you don't need to know," Alexander pulled her slightly into her arms, lowering her head and gently whispering in her ear, "You are now a Greek princess, maybe you will also become a Greek queen, but there are some things you just need to know the result. Now. "
Another shot of gunfire came, and the sound of the shot seemed to be closer. Alexander raised his head a little surprised, and saw that Lusha also looked out of the window quite unexpectedly.
"Black Army."
Alexander whispered to himself, he had heard of this army for a long time, but what he did not expect was that this army seemed to have such an unexpectedly powerful combat power. He even wondered if the Montina army faced such a sneak attack. Can it still maintain such a powerful force?
"It seems that the Black Army is more powerful than we thought." Ruosha looked at Alexander with some surprise, a flash of excitement flashed in her eyes, and she seemed to see something that interested her.
Alexander smiled and shook his head slightly, knowing what Ruosha was thinking, but that was really unlikely.
The Black Army is indeed a very powerful army, but the cost of maintaining this army is prohibitively high.
It is not so much that the Hungarian nobles disbanded the Black Army because the army that they could not control made them feel threatened. It is better to say to those nobles that the cost to maintain such an army is too high.
After all, although the Black Army is not ruled by the nobility, as long as they are given enough military pay, this army can be said to be a sharp edge for Hungary to deal with the Ottoman Empire, but the high cost of maintaining this army overwhelms those Hungary. The nobles were breathless, and the black army without the payroll soon turned into a terrible monster, so in the eyes of the Hungarians, this army with an unusually high combat power, once lost control, it caused The destructive power is obviously terrible and amazing.
Now seeing Lu Sha actually showed a lot of interest in this army, which made Alexander feel helpless for Lu Sha's whimsy.
However, the high cost is actually still second. What really made Alexander less interested in the Black Army was that this army was a real mercenary.
Alexander had an instinct for mercenaries, although he also hired Genoa and the Venetians, but because of Barenti and Lucrezia, he and the troops in these two places were more of a kind of subordination. relationship.
As for the Balkans, because of Sophia, they are also more reliable.
But the Black Army is not the case. This is a real mercenary. For them, military pay is their true loyal master. As a mercenary, their professional ethics is obviously not as ethical as the famous Swiss lunatics.
As a professional mercenary established by the Hungarian King Margash I, the Black Army ’s reputation for bravery is as well known as their bad reputation for betraying their employers, especially during the siege of Vienna in 1485. The rebellion has even shaken Europe.
Alexandria needs a brave army, but he needs a loyal army. Even in his view, the latter is more important than the former, because the former can be produced through training, but the latter depends on firm will, bravery, and the pursuit of honor. To wait for it.
Suddenly, an unusually fierce gunfire sounded, and the shouting in the yard was even louder.
Several lights came from the street not far away, and a burst of shouts were also mixed in
"It's unimaginable."
Ruosha glanced at Alexander with a little excitement. She turned to her skirt and flew upstairs, seeing that she was so carelessly running around in her house, Sophia immediately chased after her angrily.
"It's really surprising," Alexander couldn't help but be surprised. He beckoned Busaco to let him come to him, and then ordered to "Go tell Gompati, I want him to win."
Busaco showed a slight accident. After looking at Alexander and confirming that he had heard it correctly, he turned and ran out of the house. Then Alexander looked up at the staircase where he had disappeared, and followed helplessly. Go.
"I hope the two of them didn't kill each other at this time." Alexander murmured as he walked up the second floor.
On a street not far from Sophia's little palace, it was the smoke and the blood.
Just a short while ago, the street was so quiet that it seemed too quiet compared to laughter and celebration everywhere in the city.
Because of this, when walking down this street, the commander of the Black Army instinctively felt uneasy.
That kind of restlessness is a reaction to danger that has been formed through years of combat training. It is this reaction that allows many experienced soldiers to escape from the hands of death on the battlefield. Now this feeling also falls on the black army chief. Body.
So although he only had to cross this street to see Sophia's palace, he still decisively ordered to stop.
It was just when he gave the order that the team was almost halfway down the street.
Then the captain walking in front heard a dull gunshot.
The gunshots were really dull, or if they were louder, they were more like gunshots.
"Heavy musket!" Almost as soon as the thought flashed through the captain's mind, his body was knocked back by a huge force!
He smelled a scorched smell of rust and blood, which was caused by the violent friction when his breastplate was pierced by a projectile, and then he fell backwards. When he fell to the ground, the violent impact made him The head bumped up on the ground and bounced upwards, so he saw the black smoke and the blood flowing from a fist-like hole in the breastplate.
Just as the captain fell to the ground, the whole street was already full of instant gunshots and smoke.
I do n’t know how many muskets protrude from the houses on both sides of the street. In the attic, in the window, behind the door, flashing sparks and medicinal smoke one after another. Fly sideways.
The black army walking in the front was instantly stunned by the attack. Some of them instinctively raised their arms and some raised their shields, but they were not facing the arrows. It was a terrible bullet. When small but terrible lead bullets penetrated their shields and armor, splashing blood on them, there was a burst of screams on the street.
"dash forward!"
A roar with the sound of the German population in the north suddenly sounded from behind the team. With this roar, the black soldiers in the back team rushed forward instead of retreating, and they shouted at the nearest enemy on the street. , The sharp bat-winged spear in the dark desperately thrusts at those enemies exposed in the dark shadow of the door.
The screaming cry also came from the dark doorway, and when the spear retracted, someone fell to the ground.
"Rush up! Rush up!"
The following command sounded even more intense, which inspired the bloodiness of the Black soldiers who screamed and rushed towards the enemy. Even when they saw several rifles held up in front of them, they still rushed forward frantically.
Boom, a series of gunshots came at the same time, the black army rushing to the front was immediately shot and fell to the ground, but the black army musketeers immediately behind had rushed up, and at this time the enemy opposite The second row had just raised his gun.
The two sides fired at the distance that they could see each other ’s face even at night, and the sparks and fire rope guns that flintlock flint hit on the medicine pool chopping board could not ignite the burning splash of light at this moment, so dazzling, Then the muzzles from both sides fired projectiles almost simultaneously.
The Black Army rushed forward almost like crazy, and the commander's shouts were undulating in the line. At this time, their sturdy style was fully demonstrated, and even some soldiers just kept charging when facing the muskets. , Charge until you are shot to the ground, or rushed in front of the enemy and brandished a weapon to kill.
Gompati looked at these enemies unexpectedly. He admitted that he was deterred by the bravery and even the madness of these enemies.
In his view, even the Ottomans were not as terrible as the opponents wearing black armor in front of them, which looked extremely sturdy. These enemies who appeared to be armed with teeth almost completely attacked them regardless of their lives. The Musketeers who were close to them were too late to load ammunition, so they were rushed in front of them, and then began a brutal killing.
"This is the Black Army?" Gompati whispered, he really did not expect to encounter such an enemy, a terrible army that actually threatened the Musketeers with cold weapons.
The sound of gunfire kept killing, the sound of killing the sky, Bucharest, who was still immersed in joy, instantly fell into chaos.
The people on the street stopped at first to listen to the terrible sound that suddenly appeared. When they heard what it was, they shouted and shouted in every street and every square.
People hurriedly shouted, many people yelled "Ottomans are calling" while looking for weapons in a panic, and at this moment, a group of soldiers suddenly appeared on the street.
These soldiers wore Wallachia clothes familiar to the locals. Their look was somber and disturbing. When they ran across the street, many people smelled a terrible breath from these soldiers.
Zepes walked silently on the horse, and when his army passed through the crowd, he noticed the fear of people looking at him. The cruel rule of Vlad III left the Wallachia with too many terrible memories. , And even when he saw his banner, looking at this army that suddenly emerged from the darkness, for a time many people became silent because of fear.
"I don't need people to respect me, as long as they are afraid of me."
Zeppes remembered what his father had said a long time ago. The title of the piercing male made people afraid of Vlad III, and now they also showed such a fearful expression in front of his son.
The Wallachia quickly crossed the street. At this time, the whole city had become a panic because I did n’t know what happened suddenly. In addition to the troops defending the city walls, many coalition nobles could only take their men with them. Running blankly on the street, seeing the Wallachia, they followed behind involuntarily, and more and more people were integrated into Zepez's army at a time.
"That Gombre is now in Sophia's palace, so as long as the Montina army in the Bukul fortress is prevented from coming back to rescue him, everything will be easy to handle." Cepes remembered that Ladislas II had dealt with him before. Saying "As for the coalition nobles, when the girl is alive they will treat her as a banner, but when she dies, they will soon forget her."
Zeppes secretly said to himself: "Yes, as long as Sophia dies, everyone will soon forget her, because any woman can be a Greek princess as long as needed."
Zepes admits that Sophia is important to him, and can even say that without Sophia there would be no current him, but when Sophia not only escaped his influence, but even threatened him, Zepes immediately decided to betray her without hesitation.
More importantly, they knew that the Ottomans would definitely not want to see the appearance of a Greek princess, so their actions may cause dissatisfaction and hostility among many people in the coalition forces, but the Ottomans will become theirs in this matter. ally.
As long as the Montina army in the Bukul fortress is stopped, time can be won for Ladislas II.
Cepes knew that his Wallachia army might not be an opponent of Montina's army, but he didn't need to win, but just blocked the path of Montina's army to support Alexandria.
As for the grenadier army brought to Bucharest by Zuosha, according to Zeppes' observation, he can be sure that under the unprepared sneak attack, the army composed entirely of musketeers could not block the king's black Military.
The nobles who could n’t tell what happened in the panic followed Zeppers on the street, and when they finally found that the direction of the Wallachian army was going in the opposite direction of the fierce battle, someone could n’t help but ask Zepez loudly .
But Cepes completely ignored those people. When he saw a large figure vaguely shaking in the distance from the gate leading to the Bukul fortress, Cepes's heart shuddered first, followed by a secret surprise!
"Catch up!"
Zeppes screamed in his heart that the narrow fortress of this road is strong ~ EbookFREE.me ~ As long as he guards the city gate, he can block the Montina army outside.
Although the extraordinary bravery of Montina's army impressed him, Zeppes was confident enough to get rid of the black army of Montina's army to the king to completely remove Sophia and Alexander!
"Block the city gate!" Zepes pulled out his saber and waved hard, shining across the moonlit night.
In an instant, Wagaraya's army poured into the narrow gate like a tide.
"Successful!"
Seeing that even the noble armies wrapped around the Wallachia army that quickly blocked the city gates, Cepes excitedly shouted in his heart.
At this moment, there was a tremendous loud noise from the direction of the city!
The sabre held high in Zeppes's hand suddenly, his ears were buzzing, and after a while he stiffened the reins and turned the horse's head toward the far direction where the flare was rising. .
"Actually, the artillery was fired in the city ..." Zepes was suddenly indifferent.
