Vol 3 Chapter 124: "Assault Hunter!"

When Charlene was about to lead the French to attack the coalition without hope of victory, Alexander just happened to take him to the top of a hill not far from Apio.
Although it was just a quick glance, even the first time facing such a large-scale battlefield, it can be seen that the situation of the French is not optimistic.
When Alexander first arrived in Rome, he once looked over the city of Rome on the Rocca di Pas and saw the confrontation between the two sides outside the city, so he soon discovered that the Romans had not only lost the possibility of returning to the city Even if they can retreat to other places by holding Roca di Pass, it becomes a question.
This is because Constantine found several cannons on Apio Mountain not far away!
The coalition apparently believed that it had completely controlled the situation, so people simply placed the only few cannons on the top of Mount Appio, although from the hillside where Alexandria was located, they could not be directly hit with artillery To the French army gathered in front of the Temple of Diana in Rocca di Pass, but from there it was easy to block the French way of retreating down the hill.
The artillery was very rough fixed on a pile of cannons built up by rubble. Although the distance was very far, it can be seen that the artillery is actually not very large, but even so, it is For the French army, this is already a huge threat, because when the French are preparing to charge down the slope, the uncovered happens to be completely exposed to the muzzle of the dozens of artillery that have been lined up. under.
When he saw the artillery, Constantine exclaimed irresistibly. As a knight, he had an instinctive aversion to the artillery. What was covered by the aversion was actually a deep fear.
Constantine had seen a brave knight with an unsharp body armor, but was hit by a group of low-profile musketeers. He also saw the knight who was hit by artillery. He screamed at the cannon in Rocca di Pass.
Alexandria also noticed the artillery, but he saw that in addition to the artillery threatening the French army who was about to charge on the opposite mountain, there was also the terrible blow that the French infantry who seemed to have been in a bad situation.
Although the coalition forces are advancing, their speed is not fast. The French army that was intercepted and retreated to the city actually had no other retreat except one road. Watching the slowly approaching coalition forces oppressed towards Rocca dipa On the right side of the mountain, the more densely packed French infantry team, Alexander could not help looking at Apio.
The purpose of the coalition was obvious. In the face of the obvious advantage, they did not want to engage in a costly battle with the French, so they wisely chose to use their advantages to force the French to use their lives in exchange for a way to escape.
Under this squeeze, how many French people can escape from the of Roca di Pass, and how many people will be killed in the rain of bullets of coalition artillery?
The flag on Rocca di Pas was moving. Although it was not clear, the French clearly had made up their mind to launch a counterattack. Constantine exclaimed when he saw this scene.
Della Rovere wanted them to take Charlene safely off the battlefield, but now the French are about to break into the coalition's arranged traps.
"We rushed over and then flew the flag of the Archbishop of Genoa, we must rescue Charlene." Constantine said helplessly, he knew that this might have even worse consequences. Everyone knows, but so far they have not really stood on the side of the French on the battlefield. If they are now flagged, even if they try to avoid fighting with the coalition, they will let themselves be too passive for their family. .
But Constantine knew more about Charlene, because he was not just Charlie ’s cousin, but also the son of Anne of Savoy, and the son of the Duke of Savoy was not in good health. Suppose one day there was really something Unexpectedly, according to the declaration that Charlotte automatically renounced the inheritance of Savoy during the marriage of French King Louis XI and Princess Charlotte of Savoy, Charlene is likely to become the next Savoy Duke!
In addition to the Archbishop of Genoa, Giuliano de la Rovere is also the Archbishop of Savoy.
Constantine began to turn back to order the Swiss behind him, he did not expect the Agries of Alexandria to be of any help, especially when he saw that the Agari Musketeers were actually mixed with the Spearmen. Simply decided to give them up completely.
Alexander closely watched everything on the battlefield. He did n’t think he was a military genius, so he was wise without talking nonsense. The victory of the Bruini Valley did not make him arrogant enough to think that he could be on the battlefield of this era. Going rampant, especially this is the first time he has come to the real battlefield.
But looking at the coalition artillery positions on Mount Apio, he soon discovered a strange phenomenon. Obviously, because the French troops stationed on Mount Apio were completely defeated, most of the coalition forces had already crossed Mount Apio. There is even a part of it that has passed far through the original French fortifications. Now on the Apio Mountain, except for the artillery unit, there is only a nearby squadron that seems to be moving slowly.
Alexander held his breath and tried to calm himself as much as possible. If the Bohemians were here, it was not difficult to capture the artillery on Mount Apio. Those Bohemians could not even understand what was happening in the coalition in front. It had already occupied Mount Apio, but now there are no bohemians known for speed. Once entangled with the coalition forces, it is likely to face the danger of being completely submerged in an instant.
But there is no other way. He does n’t think Constantine ’s bet on the Rovere family ’s flag is better. This does not make the Rovere family completely the target of the
Anti-French Holy Alliance
. Whether he can rescue Shaerlun from being surrounded, after all, as long as there is an army along the way who refuses to give way, not only will Shaerlun not be rescued, even Constantine himself who has fallen into the coalition forces has The danger of being taken advantage of.
After all, there are the armies of Alexander VI and the Aragonese in the coalition, and even among them the army of Gandino of Giovanni Pogia called for by Ferdinand II.
"We are going to occupy Mount Apio."
Alexander finally spoke. His words made Constantine, who had already led the horse ready to move forward, stunned, and immediately shook his head.
"It's useless, even if you prevent the coalition from using artillery, but Charlene is already surrounded or may be dead. We are not going to save all French people, as long as we can bring Charlene out alone."
Looking at Constantine's determination, while listening to the increasingly rapid horns on the battlefield, Alexander knew the time was running out. If the French started to charge, no one could stop everything from happening.
"Then I'll take someone to Mount Apio," Alexander no longer explained to Constantine. He slammed the Spurs. He had turned his head and shouted to Carlo behind him when the horse's hissing and Constantine's unexpected dumbfounded. Carlo, you take someone to keep up, remember to keep up with me no matter what happens! "Said he urged the horse to move forward and waved at the dozen or so bohemians and hunting guards around him" to keep up Me, if you do n’t want to be killed by artillery on the road, run! "
"What are you doing!" Constantine was completely stunned by Alexander's unexpected move. He wanted to catch up to stop Alexander, but the Bohemians and hunting guards that rushed past him blocked him, when When he was rushed into the team and chased a few steps, he looked at the back of Alexander who had ran down the in front, and he could not help but hold the reins and shouted "this man is crazy!" Towards his back.
Alexander, who had already washed down the hillside, felt the oncoming cold wind and the air mixed with smoke and blood, and he vaguely heard the voice of Constantine in the back, but he could not turn back and explain.
Alexander didn't care about the life and death of Shaerlun. Although this man might become the prominent Duke of Savoy, he didn't care about it. His only concern was that he didn't want to send his life on the battlefield meaninglessly, such as Constantine's act of taking risks because of personal or family honours seems unreasonable and even stupid to him.
Alexander did n’t think that the coalition was a victim of pedantic chivalry, especially when he thought that his commander was the Gonzalo, he could n’t help but think of the stubborn knightly spirits in front of this man. scene.
Gonzalo de Córdoba is a real Castilian nobleman and knight, but the paradox is that it is such a person from an orthodox noble family that has become an addition to the end of the romantic knighthood. The man who is vital to straw.
The mount ran on the ground, Alexander's body was bumped, he felt his throat dry like a fire, and his heart beat sharply because of tension.
In the past, because of the distance, it was not clear what other firearms on Mount Apio were seen in addition to the huge artillery. Once the artillery on the mountain found that an unknown team was approaching, they might not be able to move the large artillery in time. Direction, but there is enough time to use small firearms, and as long as one shell falls on his team, except the Bohemians, he does not know whether the Agri can withstand the terrible killing and fear.
This is different from the artillery attack on the way to San Niro. At that time, the threat of artillery was reduced by the night, and it did not bring enough shock because it looked less bloody, and now they are on the battlefield. Faced with the most powerful and terrifying weapon of this era.
Several Bohemians had already crossed Alexandria, and a whistle uttered in their mouths. The whip attached to their arms could not beat the horse stocks, causing the mount to explode at an alarming speed.
It only took a short time to rush down from the hillside to run on the hills, but it was enough to attract the attention of the coalition artillery on Mount Apio.
During the run, Alexander had vaguely seen the coalition soldiers on the hillside looking alertly in their direction, which made his heart sink.
The bohemian shouts in front caught Alexander's attention, and then he saw the large team that had also found them and was at a loss to stop on the road halfway up the mountain.
"Rush up!" Alexander suddenly flashed his thoughts, and he shouted to Paul Busako who was next to him, "Let the Agri surround the corps, hurry up! Use those corps as shields!"
Paul Busaco immediately waved his back hard, but he himself always followed closely behind Alexander.
Just for a while, just for a while!
Alexander had already seen that the coalition artillery on the mountain was quickly pushing something in their direction, and he knew it would never be a good sign.
Obviously, the squadron had also noticed that the suddenly appearing army had bad intentions, and they immediately shouted to act.
"Rush up to the cavalry!"
Alexander made a roar with all his strength, and at the same time raised his saber to draw a beam of light on his side!
The flash of the Bohemian saber rushing in the front and the flames of the short guns of the hunting guards almost burst at the same time in front of the eyes of the soldiers of the outermost corps. When the gunshots were still echoing in the air, they had rushed past the guard Posi The Mia started to wave their arms and toss a piece of light in the squadron.
At the same time, a loud noise also roared from Mount Apinao!
Alexander suddenly raised his head, he saw a cloud of smoke and a shadow rising from the mountain, and then just before the reaction came, a hot wave of waves had roared from above his head!
Then the ground seemed to be suddenly lifted by a giant hand, and Alexander was rolled directly from the horse by this huge force.
The hind legs of the mount were bent and strongly supported the unstable body. UU read the book www.uukanshu.com and then hovered in place. When Paul Busaco exclaimed and rushed up, Alexander was already struggling with dizziness. Get up.
His head and face were covered with mud stains, and he even had an unpleasant smell of gunpowder.
Just a few steps away from him, a stone bomb that blasted the ground out of the mud and half buried in the soil was still breathing pungent smoke.
"How are you, sir! Tell me are you injured ?!" Paul Busaco's voice trembled, and he didn't even dare to look at the embarrassed Alexander.
"Fortunately, no flower bombs have been invented yet!"
Without thinking about it, Alexander turned and jumped on a warhorse. The huge crisis passing by and the pungent smell of gunpowder caused his brain to fall into an unprecedented stimulus at this moment. He even completely forgot his fear. This kind of thing, Alexander roared to the Aggris who couldn't stop running behind them: "The Agri rushed up and twisted with the enemy as much as possible!"
Then he was urging the warhorse again when Carlo, who was following him, had no time to stop it, and shouted to the mountain: "Charge the guard, charge!"
