Vol 3 Chapter 73: Night kill

Although it is no longer snowing, the weather is still so cold. But Carlo was sweating on his head.
He kept urging the soldiers to speed up, but the muddy road made the march almost a disaster.
Although the Agri-born peasants were more able to endure hardships and hardships, there were still many soldiers who left behind. What ’s worse is that in order to speed up the march, the soldiers had to throw away the extra things, so the soldiers could only rely on eating hard The biscuits and jelly can be used as stone jerky to fill the hunger.
March, march, non-stop march, according to Alexander's order, they must rush to Rome within three days.
This is an impossible task for the Aggris who are struggling with bad roads.
"Before 1100, the Roman legion had used the week to cross the Alps from Lombardy to Gaul. I do n’t know of any reason why you could not walk from Tempura to three days after a full 11 centuries. Rome is such a stretch of road,
Alexander said to Carlo, who was so embarrassed.
If it ca n’t be done, it can only mean that this is my mistake, because I was stupidly trying to turn such a group of fools into one. army."
Alexander's words deeply stimulated Carlo and his soldiers.
So they decided to rush to Rome within three days at all costs.
But this didn't seem to be so easy. Carlos frowned as he watched the soldiers faltering in the cold muddy pool and the dirty snow.
At this time, whether or not to reach Rome within three days has become the key to deciding whether the Agris will continue to be ordinary farmers in the future or embark on a completely different and wonderful road.
"Hurry up!" Carlo shouted to the soldiers. "Look at yourself, think about your family, do you think you will only serve the lord lord as a farmer in your life, or will you have a chance to be proud of your son in the future?" Sun Tzu said that I earned you a family business. Do you want to be a hero for a day or a coward for a lifetime? "
Carlo's words thoroughly stimulated the Aggris. They began to struggle before, even if the cold muddy water had been poured into the shoes, they still gritted their teeth and struggled in the mud.
Go forward, keep walking, as long as you walk to Rome in three days, there will be a completely different future waiting for them.
On the first day, they walked crazy for nearly 20 miles. When they went to camp overnight, most people almost fell asleep before finding a leeward place.
And when the soldiers had to drag themselves up to continue the march the next morning, Carlo found that many people were exhausted and unable to move.
"Are we really not going to Rome anymore?"
Carlo looked desperately at the distant, muddy road and sighed in his heart.
The riots in the Great Baths emerged from midnight. When Caesar's army arrived, they discovered that the situation had reached an uncontrollable level.
From the earliest few people involved to the more and more people who were later taken into account, the rioting crowd began to act arbitrarily on the streets.
The captains of Caesar soon realized that the riot may be much more terrible than they thought. Except for the two teams that had already met head-on, who had been mixed with the riot crowd, the others immediately backed away and then narrowed The street entrance lined up to form a tight wall of people.
Caesar's army has strict discipline. Although this army has not participated in any major battles so far, Caesar has given them great expectations from the beginning.
And not long ago, they participated in a large arrest planned by Caesar to catch the assassin of Joanna. In that search, this army undoubtedly became a terrible force in Caesar's hands, and a rich loot They also benefited a lot.
So despite the turmoil facing the riots, Caesar's army did not panic, and many people were even thrilled.
A heavy pedaling sound came from the ground, and the captain standing in front of the team slowly squatted and pressed his hand to the ground.
An experienced soldier can detect many things from the vibrations on the ground, such as whether the enemy's pace is uniform, whether the enemy has changed from a slow approach to a force charge, but the most important thing is the number of enemies.
There were a lot of people, and the first reaction of the captain was like this. He looked up and leaned down and there was a small corner of the street.
The captain's experience is very rich. He chose to arrange the defense line in such a place. The upward will make the enemy's charge difficult, and a small turn is enough to make most enemies chaotic.
The captain crossed through the soldiers and squeezed to the back, then he drew his sword and raised it high.
"ready!"
A collision of instruments sounded, the axe and pikeman in front pointed the spear diagonally forward, and the sharp blade flashed terribly in the moonlight and fire,
Behind them, a group of crossbowmen have lifted up hard crossbows. Instead of crossbow arrows, they placed projectiles on their crossbow beds, but these projectiles are no more kind than crossbow arrows, and sometimes even more terrible.
It was already possible to hear the clutter of footsteps, which seemed to overturn the entire street.
The black shadow shook, the figure was sensible, and the black crowd began to appear at the corner below the ramp.
"is coming."
A soldier carrying a silver crossbow licked his lips. When the first wave of crowd just appeared on the corner, he aimed at the one who walked in front.
The crowd continued to approach, and many of them had already crossed the corner and reached the directly upward.
Seeing the army blocking the street, the crowd paused first, and then there was a little commotion.
The two sides faced each other across a short street. Some of the people in the front of the crowd began to recede because of tension, but some crowded forward. The black-pressed head looked like the ocean at night was surging.
Although it was full of people, the street suddenly became very quiet, and everyone seemed to be waiting for something.
However, the confrontation only stayed for a short time. With a crazy roar from nowhere, the tumultuous crowd suddenly dropped a drop of ice water into the rolling oil!
Crazy broke the silence at this moment, accompanied by a roar, the crowd moved, and they rushed towards the army that was waiting for it!
A street battle that evolved from riots broke out in this way.
Affected by the riots in the Great Baths, starting from the south of Rome, more and more places experienced turbulence.
From the Great Baths to Trajan ’s Square, from Butuwon Courtyard to the banks of the Tiber River, people are running around in panic, the rich are panicked, and the poor are also terrified. At this time, even Caesar ’s army seems to have no control over this. Sudden changes happened.
The bridges connecting the city of Rome and the Vatican on the Tiber have been blocked, and there is news that Pope Alexander VI and a group of cardinals have been sent to Fort Angel.
The gates of the Marino Palace are tightly closed.
Even though they are far away, they can still vaguely hear the terrible and chaotic sounds that sometimes come from outside.
Several maids gathered together in a low-pitched voice, they were all young women who came to Rome to work from other places. According to the law, they should be protected by their employers, but the sudden chaos that is happening today scares them, especially when it is here. When their owners are completely different from those of other wealthy households or nobles, they ca n’t help but worry whether their owners will protect them if they are really in danger.
A Moor passed by them and several maids immediately lowered their voices. The young Moor was the master's housekeeper and a guy who sometimes made the maids scared.
Because he always encouraged the master to rule the servants in some barbaric way, which made all the servants very afraid of this Moor who actually looked very cute.
Uliu walked through the hall, and when he saw the gathered maids, he frowned and waved his hands silently, and immediately drove the group of women away like ducks.
"It's a group of lazy things," Uliu murmured, thinking about the scene when he was next to Lord Vizier. He felt that Alexander was a little too kind. Although Europeans also have slaves, they can pay these servants. They are a little too spoiled. "These women should be kept in the cellar and frozen for a few days before they can chew their tongues casually."
Uliu walked to the second floor while complaining. Every day before going to bed, he had to go around the entire Marino Palace and make sure everything was done properly before going to bed. This is his most comfortable time. In time, walking in a large, unoccupied house seemed to be patrolling only his own territory.
But today is a little special. Listening to the faint voice outside, Uliu knows that the city of Rome is not too flat tonight.
In fact, the signs of the riots had already been revealed during the day, and for this Joanna sent someone to Nashan for help.
The queen obviously hopes that a reliable person will be around at this time, and her new lover is obviously very reliable in this respect.
Nashan decided to protect the queen with half of the people, and the rest were arranged by him in a church not far from Marino Palace.
The Bohemians are actually very religious. They often get together to pray and recite the Scriptures.
When the male owner was not there, the Marino Palace seemed somewhat deserted. The big housekeeper Uliou walked in the palace to open every door passing by, and then left with satisfaction. For a time, he felt that he was the monarch of this little kingdom.
A small movement came from the dark place of a chute in the distance. The sound was not loud originally, but because the surroundings were quiet, the sound seemed very loud.
Uliu stopped and he listened with a strange ear.
There was no other voice. Uliu doubted that he had heard it wrong, but he still walked towards that channel to see what was going on.
As a housekeeper, Uliu has always been proud of his due diligence.
But he only walked a few steps, and a door opened suddenly in the distance.
Sophia stood at the door wearing a big nightgown. Although her figure was much fuller than her peers, this nightgown seemed a little too wide. She wore her like a magnified rag doll.
Sophia waved to Uliu, then laid it flat with one hand and gestured with the other hand on top.
Seeing her like this, Uliu sighed inwardly, and then walked helplessly.
But before walking into Sophia's room, the Moors couldn't help but glance back at the Yongdao.
The door closed and the hallway quieted down.
After a while, there was sound again in the dark shadow of Yong Dao, but this time the sound was a little lower, and then a marble in the corner of Yong Dao was gently moved away from the wall, and then his hands slowly moved through the gaps in the dark paint. Lili stretched out.
The hands moved gently with the edge of the marble that had been loosened, and then a figure appeared in the corridor.
Uliu sat helplessly behind a desk with a tilted desk in the living room. Sophia was walking around him as if thinking of something.
After a while she stopped and began to move quickly.
Despite frustration, Uliu tried to understand Sophia's meaning, but he soon discovered that it was difficult to understand her sometimes completely self-created gesture language, but it was not easy to keep up with her ideas.
"Are you saying that I hope the old man will come back as soon as possible?"
Uliu asked this question, but he was not idle, and he began to write a love letter to Alexander instead of Sophia.
In fact, he has done this more than once. After all, it is difficult to understand the mind of a girl who is in love, not to mention a girl who is only 12 years old. Their thoughts are sometimes even the most wise people. I would also find it unbelievable. As for this girl, she can only express her heart by gestures. Although it is difficult to understand, it can be dealt with better.
He seemed satisfied with Uliu's understanding of Sophia, and walked over to compliment Uliu's shoulder, which made the Moors tremble.
"Master will castrate me." Uliu, almost scared from a black face to a white face, barely squeezed out a smile ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Sophia waved her hand unconsciously, just before she continued to write a letter. At that time, the door was knocked.
Sophia, who was disturbed by interest, frowned, and she didn't want to ignore it at first, but after a little thought she still walked angrily towards the door.
Outside the door, the masked man stared at the door holding his breath, and the tip of his short sword shivered slightly, but at this moment he always felt calm, but he felt that time had passed so slowly.
The people in the room didn't seem to want to disturb, so only a gap was opened.
But for mask people, this is enough!
As his left hand pushed hard, the door was suddenly opened, and a beautiful face appeared in front of him.
I am familiar with this face mask, but he has seen it many times!
Not waiting for this face to show a surprised look, the dagger in the mask man's hand has thrust forward in a nearly crazy way!
The blood was splattered and hit!
