Vol 3 Chapter 49: Abandoned village crisis (middle)

In a remote village at the end of the 15th century, the night was very monotonous.
Lamp oil is very expensive. If it was n’t for Alexander ’s arrival, the village would not even light up at night, and although this family was richer than other families in the village, they could not afford real lamp oil, but goat oil instead. .
So the room was not only darkened by the smoke, but also smelled awful.
Alexander's arrival did indeed cause a lot of trouble to the people in this village. The accommodation of at least dozens of people allowed the whole village to jump around.
The Bohemians were arranged to a family of households, no matter whether they were willing or not, facing these strangers with weapons, the villagers could only silently accept this arrangement.
The family that Alexander lives in is the head of the village, which is naturally considered to be a wealthy household in the village, but even this house is not more comfortable than others.
The house of the village head is a large concave. Except for the living room, living room, dining room and other large rooms with all functions in the middle, two doors are opened on both sides of the back wall of the main hall. The aisle leads from the two doors to the back, and crosses the aisle several meters long, which is the bedroom.
You can see each other by opening the windows on both sides of the bedroom, and the open space in the middle of the bedroom is the backyard of this family, with a little vegetables.
Alexander lived in the bedroom on the left side of the house. After seeing the humble house except for a wooden bed and two long wooden benches apparently made by the host himself, Alexander stretched out slightly and then fell to his head. Bed.
Although the house was cold, the bed was covered with thick reed grass, lying soft on it, which made Alexander's drowsiness come up at once.
He has been running around for a while, even when in Rome, his days are very tense, especially these days, because he was found to be followed shortly after leaving Rome, and then suddenly encountered an attack , So I have n’t taken a good night ’s rest for a few days in a row, which made Alexander ’s body very tired, so the first time I touched the bed, the tiredness quickly attacked.
But he still shook his head and tried to sit up. Carlo hadn't returned yet, which always worried him.
Of all the Agris, Carlo is clearly the most satisfied of them among Alexander. The soldier from the Orion is very clever and willing to learn. Now he is working hard to learn how to become an excellent cavalry officer beside Nashan. Using the knowledge he had previously as an Orion, he is trying to become an equally excellent scout.
Alexander had a plan for the future of his army.
He hopes that while he still needs to rely on Bohemia, he can try to make the Agris more disciplined and brave and firm in various battles in the future. This kind of effective training, more importantly, requires a real battle between blood and fire to cultivate it, but he still hopes that the Agris can master these fighting skills through training instead of sacrifice.
The battle that took place in the previous night made Alexander realize that whether he could be firm in the face of danger was the key to the army ’s persistence. Think about if it was not that the enemy situation was discovered in advance, and then the Bohemians were sent in advance to attack from behind. The enemy ’s artillery, maybe the Agri had collapsed and failed last night.
As can be seen from the battles in the Bruini Valley, although the Agri are not lacking in courage, they obviously lack disciplined organization. When facing the enemy's attack and sharp weapons, they may dare to face it. However, they still cannot rely on rigorous and effective discipline to make their actions a whole.
Strict and effective, even cruel training, Alexander can only think of these, he has decided to strengthen the ability of the Aggris in combat afterwards, although this training has never been there along the way after coming out of Agri. Stopped, but whether it was Bruini or the battle on the riverbank last night, the scale of the battle was not very large, and it must be admitted that the two battles were not only not intense, even the enemy ’s commanders Not smart.
It was this luck that made the Aggris perform poorly in both battles. The key is that they rely on the help of the Bohemian cavalry on both occasions.
Alexander must consider what would happen without the support of the Bohemian cavalry, and even consider how the Agris could resist if they faced opponents like the Bohemians.
He pondered these questions with great care, and Alexander did not think he was always so lucky, especially considering that although he is far from the real battlefield, Italy will face a half-century war for many years to come. It is very likely that he will stay here for a long time. One day he may face opponents such as Caesar, Gonzalo, and even Louis XII. If you think about it, you may be called this era. The most outstanding military geniuses confronted each other, and Alexander felt that he had no other way but to train a powerful army as soon as possible.
Do we have to find another monastery to hide, or take Sophia and the already rich and soft to find a place to enjoy the blessing?
Alexander knew this was impossible, and from the day he left Saint-Sabaron, he knew he would not be so lonely.
Alexandria thought, until a soldier outside seemed to have knocked something down, first a clatter, then a low curse, and then after a while, the soldier came in with a steaming tub pushing the door in .
"Adult, you need hot water." The soldier's clothes were wet and he whispered after placing the hot water basin on the ground.
Alexander took off his boots and soaked his feet in the hot water, and casually asked: "What happened just now, did you hit anything?"
"It's really bad luck," the soldier felt a bit of a dark half of his face. "I didn't know who put a car in the aisle when I brought you the water just now, and I stepped on it and fell. He fell on the head and the water was spilled and hit. face."
"Car, kid's toy." Alexander smiled slightly. These Aggris are farmer and hunters. Of course they are careless to wait for people. This makes him miss the clever Uliu.
He even thought of Mahimo a little bit, compared with the days when he was fighting with people in Rome during this time, his time in Naples was quite leisurely.
The tiredness brought by the thick cushioned bed and the comfort of hot-water foot bathing hit again. Alexander ’s head was a little heavy. He let the big things he thinks about tomorrow. Now he should sleep well.
The cold wind outside roared, went to the village and town in front to find someone who could repair the bridge, sent people to find Carlo, and waited for the army on the other side to find a place where everyone could cross the river, talking to himself about what to do tomorrow, Alexander Slowly fell into a deep sleep.
The night was very thick, and when the wind became quieter in the second half of the night, the moon appeared unexpectedly from behind the scattered black clouds.
The moonlight gradually became brighter and brighter, and the frost-like moonlight shone on the snow with extremely bright light, and the whole village was bathed in this silver-white moonlight.
A group of figures appeared quietly in the jungle outside the village. Under the moonlight, these people approached the village quietly and quietly. The weapons in their hands also shone brightly, but the light was still dead except for the cold.
The suddenly better weather was somewhat unexpected. When he saw the dark clouds in the sky gradually disappearing, the short man had realized that it was not good. He did not expect that the weather would suddenly improve. As the moonlight gradually became brighter, he knew that things were a bit worse.
He immediately discussed with his long-haired companion, and soon the two decided to take a team of people to approach quietly from both sides of the village.
"That Gombré should have spent the night in the village," the short man guessed. "And it should be in the village head's house, so our goal is the village head's house. Remember not to be found before you find him."
"Don't get entangled with his soldiers if they are found," the long-haired man told his men. "Although the Bohemians are very powerful, don't forget that we have more people than them. Our purpose is to gomblay, as long as Just find him. "
Instructed in this way, the two teams of attackers began to come out of the woods cautiously. The most difficult thing for them was how to approach the village, because the moonlight illuminates the empty space outside the village full of snow, and the guards can easily Find.
But fortunately for them, they soon discovered a shallow ditch dug by the villagers to irrigate during the dry season in winter. It also happened that although the shallow ditch was not deep, the soil dug out happened to be piled up. On the side close to the village, a barrier was formed. Unless the guard was staring at this shallow ditch, he would not be discovered if he was careful.
"St. James bless us, let's go first." The long-haired man whispered, and he first crawled along the shallow ditch to the front, and the others quietly followed and approached the village.
The short man squatted behind a raised earth bag and looked at them. He needed to sneak in from a vegetable garden on the other side of the village, so as to ensure that once found, Alexander, who lived in the village ’s house, would not escape from another place in time.
As long as the soldiers who are entangled with him, everything is not a problem. After all, he only brought dozens of people. Most of the soldiers stayed on the other side of the river. The number of people on his own side can be much larger than him, and the people in the village are not. Will help them. The short man was thinking.
Seeing that the companion's team had begun to approach the village quickly, he waved his hand behind him and led the person a little further away before starting to approach the vegetable field.
Alexander had a dream, he dreamed of Ruosha.
Since leaving Naples, he has not contacted Ruosha again. Although he had written a letter before, he has never had time to think about his "sister" because of his haste.
In a trance, Alexander seemed to return to his previous days when he was in the villa in the middle of the mountain. He seemed to see Ruosha sitting across the table and arguing with him about the trade allocation between Agri and Cosenza. How the two united to pressure Taranto's short-sighted chambers of commerce, forcing them to agree to the conditions they proposed.
Gradually, sitting across the table, Ruo Sha didn't know when she came to him, and then Alexander felt like she was saying "No, this is your sister, at least it's your sister in the name", but started to wrap around Lu Sha. Kiss her brilliant blond hair, and her beautiful and beautiful forehead. Then, just like when she was sleeping on the bed and dozing at random because she was too tired to talk, the two curled up and lay on the bed.
Then, he seemed to see another familiar figure standing at the head of the bed, and then he was awakened by a pot of cold water!
Sophia's unique laugh from her throat sounded again in Alexander's ear, while she was proudly watching the two of them drowned like a soup chicken with a basin of water.
"I'm going to kill this Bohemian woman!" Zuosha's angry and familiar voice also sounded again. She jumped from the bed and grabbed the musket on the table. It seemed that she had just done it according to her own ideas the day before Flintlock.
"Don't be excited, don't be excited, she's still a child, don't worry about her, she's still a child!" Alexander remembered that he threw himself up again to hug Rusha and try to stop her.
However, it seems wrong.
I didn't seem to be talking about this, kid, why should I talk about kid?
Is there anything wrong with the child?
Alexander was about to wake up at this time, but he seemed to be trapped in his previous dream.
"Why do you say there is something wrong with the child? Think of Alexander, think of it quickly." Alexander moved, but the warm blanket made him not want to open his eyes.
The short sword in the hands of the long-haired man flashed in the night, he was leaning against the shadow of a house wall near the village to the village head ’s house, and there was a shadow walking on the ground not far from the corner Go, that's a sentry.
He was as close to the wall as possible, while staring at the figure reflected on the ground.
When he saw the shadow turn around again, the long-haired man quickly flashed out of the corner. He held the sentry from the back and held the mouth of the sentry. While pulling back hard, the short sword in his right hand had stabbed into the sentry Back heart.
The sentinel's body just shook and fell down ~ EbookFREE.me ~ The long-haired man let him fall with a slight release of his hand, and at the same time he raised his arm and waved forward. The direction of the home surrounded the past.
Ruo Sha was still angry, and Sophia still seemed to keep laughing with that strange voice, Alexander was a little angry, he turned his head to yell, but saw that Sophia did not know when she was holding A wooden toy car wobbled around, but the car looked rough and seemed to be stepped on by a foot.
"Sophia, how did you bring the village head's toy car to play?" With this casual question, Alexander suddenly found that he was not in a villa in the middle of the mountain, but in this barren village by the river.
Immediately after, Alexander suddenly woke up from his dream!
He finally knew what was wrong in this village.
Although there are only dozens of families, you can't see a child in the village from beginning to end!
Alexander jumped off the bed all at once, and while his bare feet stepped on the cold ground, a scream rang out not far from his door!
