Vol 4 Chapter 163: Fierce battle

When the dam breaks, it always begins to penetrate slowly, and then the gap will gradually increase. When the gap is so large that it can no longer withstand the impact of the flood and finally collapse, the huge current will surge and wash the embankment.
The Montina Army is now such a levee. In the face of the Genoese charge higher than the wave, the Montina Army is like a lone boat floating in the big waves, supporting it hard.
Suddenly, an inconspicuous gap appeared, although it was only fleeting, but Calgino grasped the rare opportunity accurately. When the Genoese hit the gap like a frenzy, the Montina army could not bear it anymore. Living this violent blow, the Montina started to retreat from the place where they were attacked, and then the surrounding formation collapsed like an avalanche.
Alexander also saw the gap. When he did n’t have time to order it, the Genoese striker had already rushed through the gap. As the cheers burst, he rushed toward the Montina who were gathering in a panic and preparing for the defense. .
The whole formation began to be chaotic, and the Montina army had to retreat to the sides in order to defend the suddenly penetrated front, and as the gap caused by this retreat suddenly widened, a team of Genoese had rushed towards the position of Alexander come.
"Hunting guard defense, defense!" Busaco's hoarse cries rang in the chaotic battlefield. He was holding a saber in one hand and a musket in the other, staring at Genoa, who was about to rush to the front. People "Ready ~"
The short guns in the hands of the hunting guards were raised one after another. They also breathed tightly. Although they had experienced many life and death before, this was the first time they had faced an enemy from the front of the battlefield.
The lord is behind them.
Alexander also raised his gun. He did not retreat as Busako advised, because he knew that even a slight change in position at this time could cause the entire front to collapse.
"put!"
Busako's roar even overshadowed the screaming and killing sounds around him, and as he shouted, bursts of gunfire burst instantly.
The Genoese soldiers rushing to the front immediately fell to the ground, and the people behind them stumbled upon them and also fell one after another. The momentum of the attack seemed to be stagnant for a while.
But the instantaneous pause was immediately overwhelmed by the people who rushed up from behind. Before the gunshots of the second row of hunting guards sounded, the Genoese spears had been thrust towards them.
In an instant, the screams were mixed with the sound of musket shooting. The first Genoese who had just pierced his spear under the rib of a hunting guard hadn't had time to make a successful shout, and had been almost stared at his forehead. The musket shot was so bloodied that it fell to the ground.
Alexander did not follow the shot. He stood behind the hunting guard, and beside him, a triangular flag fluttered in the wind.
"Blow the trumpet and order to move closer to the military flag."
Alexander gave the order to the trumpeter. He jumped back on a stone and looked across. Although it was dangerous, it was the only way to see clearly.
The trumpet and drums sounded, and the Montina army who heard the signal began to retreat and gather from the surroundings in the direction of Alexander's flag.
"Does he want to form a defense?" Calgino watched the movement of the Montina from afar, and then turned over with the help of his entourage. "I think it's almost the same. Without the artillery, we are in trouble. It's Gumbre's solution. It's time. "
Having finished, Calgino clamped his horse's belly and galloped across the stream.
"Master, what about those Bohemians?" An officer asked Calgino from the side.
"Watch them, and if they try to strike the right wing formation, drive them away." Calgino turned his head to look at the right wing. "Trust me, I know the Bohemians. Although they are brave, they can be defeated as long as we completely defeat them. The main force of Gumbre, they will naturally run away. "
Calgino said with a strong grip on the lower abdomen, he had seen the Montina slowly receding, but some of them were obviously completely defeated, and some could not even form a formation, they could only panic. Follow the companion to retreat in his own direction.
A piercing volleyball sounded, and Calgino couldn't help looking in the direction of the sound. He noticed that a team of Montina soldiers, who seemed to have lost contact with the main force and had been surrounded, was forming a formation under the cover of the spearman.
They were already surrounded by Genoese, but because of the spearman's cover and the musketeer's long-range shooting hiding among the spearmen, these Montina troops stubbornly resisted the enemies around them.
"Those people are brave," Calgino pointed to the Montina, who had been completely surrounded and had no escape route. "We can give them a funeral that shows respect."
"Admiral." An officer nodded with a smile, and then urged the horse to run towards the stubborn resistance of Montina's army.
"Spearmen retreat!"
As the officers shouted, the Genoese spearmen stepped back.
"Uncle, the Genoese retreated."
Seeing the enemy retreat, a spearman shouted excitedly, and turned back to the captain in the formation.
"Fool, put up a shield!" A veteran with scars on his head yelled like crazy, and he shook the short halberd in his hand firmly "Ready to catch the enemy ~"
A string of bows exploded, a screaming wind blew four times, and an instant in the Montina army screamed that the arrow fell to the ground. At the same time, the angry backfire of the musket fired a terrible projectile at the Genoese at this time. .
"attack!"
Seeing the formation of Montina because of the instant chaos in the arrow, the officer issued an order.
"Defense!"
At the same time, Dan Fu, who was an "uncle", also roared.
Another team of Genoese rushed from the side. This is the second time since Alexander ordered a contraction formation. The Genoese rushed into the gap of the Montina army. A team that arrived in time and the hunting guards hit Genoa. The man was hit hard and had to retreat, but it was clear that the team was too hard to hold up because of the heavy losses, so just when they were slightly negligent, the Genoese once again broke through the gap between the two adjacent formations, towards Alexander's hunting guards attacked.
Hunting guards are really easy to recognize. Their red chest coats with long and short black cloaks deeply attracted almost all Genoese.
Some Genoa teams even tried to cross the Montina team in order to win the chance of defeating Alexander.
"Sir, you must back away now." Busaco's face was already gloomy, and his eyes swept across the faces of the two hunting guards, with some hint in his eyes.
The hunting guards licked their lips and moved forward. They were ready to tip Alexander to the ground as soon as Busako ordered, and then tied him up and threw it on Pagasos's back to take him to escape.
"Busak, if you dare to do stupid things, beware that I can't spare you." Alexander looked uncomfortable and looked at the Genoese who were rushing between the two formations. "Blow trumpets, musketeers shoot!"
The trumpeter waiting next to him immediately blew the horn.
When the gunshots on both sides immediately covered up the trumpet, Alexander turned back and said to Busako: "I suggest you remember what happened today, so that you can tell your children and grandchildren in the future that you are almost helping Genoa People beat me. "
With that said, Alexander pulled his sword from his waist.
"All you have to do is to protect you from dying here. Let others make the decision!"
After saying this, Alexander strode toward the line of hunting guards in front.
"Hunting guard, hold your ground!"
"Admiral!"
The hunting guard shouted like thunder.
"Hunting guards hold on to their positions?" Calgino, who had passed the creek, paused. He owed slightly and looked forward, but he didn't see anything clearly because of the low level of the beach, but he already knew roughly what had happened. what.
"Gombre won't work anymore," Calgino exhaled softly. He looked in the direction of the army surrounded by Montina, and saw that the army had been shocked and looked like it was torn apart. Calgino wiped it out. The sweat on his head "But I didn't expect them to be so tenacious, they failed only because they regarded us as opponents."
Calgino's words caused laughter from the followers, and by this time they had relaxed like their generals. The Montina army had been divided. As for the Bohemians and the artillery on the mountain, once Alexander's main force If they were defeated, they would not be at all concerned.
"Those artillery can be used as spoils of victory."
Calgino's thoughts flashed through his mind, and he couldn't help looking up at the hill with such thoughts.
Then he seemed to see a dark thing flying in the direction of his arc from a distance in the sky.
Calgino looked up at the shadow that was flying rapidly. He saw the shadow grow bigger and bigger, and then flew not far from the top of his head, before he turned his head to look to the other side, accompanied by a deafening Loudly, Calgino felt the sitting horse suddenly startled, and then ran forward wildly.
Calgino's body could not help leaning back because of this unexpected violent drag, and the heavy armor almost fell him off the horse.
But then he felt that the horse was suddenly leaning forward, and with a cry from him, Calgino had already been thrown off the horse and fell to the ground.
When the entourage hurriedly lifted Calgino up, he was surprised to find that his horse was twitching down on the ground, shaking with four hoofs, and under it, a mass of viscera was squeezed out. Flowing out.
What surprised Calgino even more was that several Genoese had fallen, not far from where he stood.
"Artillery?" Calgino turned back suddenly, not paying attention to the scratches when he fell, and fixed his eyes on the hill not far away.
It was a sound of gunfire that answered him, followed by a sudden rain of blood from the Genoese team near the left wing.
"The left wing did not take down those artillery!"
Calgino's face was instantly blue, and he looked in the direction of the hill, trying to find the left infantry that had been sent before, but he couldn't see anything except the rumble of gunshots and the dazzling sunlight in his ears.
The sudden artillery bombardment caused the Genoese army, who was attacking the Montina, to look around. The blows they had suffered while crossing the river were still fresh in memory, but then the Montina artillery was gone. The sound, and the ensuing battle made them even forget the horrible weapon.
Now they heard the sound of artillery again, and with the terrible sound, the shells suddenly burst after falling to the ground and fell from the sky again, which made the Genoese panic.
No one knows where the next shell will fall, especially the left of the Genoese. When they were hit by a second apparently intentional blow, a team of Genoese even went crazy from the queue because of the heavy losses. Ran out.
They rushed angrily toward the hill, but they were greeted by a rifle that unexpectedly fired.
The gunshot was very dense, and if you listen carefully, you will notice that it is even denser than the Montina army, which is concentrated near the Alexander Hunting Guards.
The Genoese were howling at the oncoming bullets and they had to stop and try to retreat backwards.
But the artillery on the mountain rang again, and this time it was these Genoese who tried to capture the hill.
Four or five shells landed on the ground, and the small tree cut by the debris shook to the side, and at the same time, half of the broken right leg was hanging on the branch.
The Genoese walked back and forth in panic, they wanted to move on, but the bullets from the mountain stopped their footsteps, and the terrible shelling was their nightmare.
Some people began to run back timidly, listening to the miserable calls of their companions and the limbs around them.
"There are Montina's Musketeers on the mountain?" Calgino's heart jumped. He knew at this time that the left-wing offensive team should be defeated by the Montina, or at least entangled.
"Gombré is crazy," Calgino looked at the Montina formation, except for the left wing, which was almost completely surrounded by the right wing. "He did not leave the most elite army beside him."
Calgino's voice had just fallen, and the sound of the artillery sounded again, and he clearly felt that when he heard the sound of the artillery, the Genoese formation that was attacking seemed involuntarily confused.
The shells fell into the crowd, or directly into the crowd.
In order to attack the densely defended Montina, the Genoese army must also use a more dense formation to hit the enemy's front, and when the shotgun fell in this densely concentrated crowd, the moment cast a terrible layer in people's eyes Red.
The formation of the Genoese was turbulent, and many people were panicking and helplessly roaring. They did not know what to do about this continuous blow. Looking at the companions who had withdrawn and died from the mountain, the Genoa were even more The turmoil became uneasy.
"Adults, those artillery must be resolved," an officer rushed over with red eyes, his helmet caught in his hand, and a large hole in the helmet looked shocking. "Otherwise our loss is too great."
Take a look at Calgino, and by this time he already knew roughly the purpose of Alexander.
Apparently Alexander would rather be under great pressure and left an elite musket unit on the mountain to protect the artillery.
This may seem a bit risky, but as long as the artillery on the mountain is ensured, the Genoese will face huge casualties from non-stop shelling.
But what if the army is mobilized to attack the hill?
Calgino quickly looked towards the front. He noticed that the Montina had been completely compressed under a hill in the far distance of the river beach, where they did not retreat, but braced the seemingly crumbling formation.
Another round of shelling, this time shells exploded dozens of meters away not far in front of Calgino.
Through the smoke, Calgino saw a team flag and its flag bearer being torn to pieces by a shotgun, and a horrified cry came from near the disappearing team flag.
"Order the three combat brigades on the left to capture the Montina artillery."
Calgino finally gave the order. Although he knew that it was a bad decision to draw troops from the left wing that had surrounded the Montina at this time, he could no longer bear such serious casualties in the army.
Although Pitiliuno of Venice defeated Charlie Charlie in the battle of Fornovo, he was later reprimanded by the Governor of Venice for his heavy losses.
Because of this, Pitiliuno was not reactivated until the Romagna War not long ago.
Calgino knew that although his family gained the power of the governor, the influence of the Lovere family was huge. The successful dispatch of their troops to Montina this time was pure use of the Genoese's fear and hatred of Venice.
At the same time, in the parliament, the Calgino family also tried to convince those lawmakers that perhaps only a small price would be able to deter and scare away the Gombré.
And as soon as he drove Gombrell out of Montina, and announced that he recognized the ownership of Rovere ’s family in Montina, Calgino believed that the Rovere ’s people could only accept this fact except for blaming Alexander ’s incompetence. .
But if he, like Pitiliuno, caused the Genoese to suffer heavy losses in this conflict, then things might be more complicated.
By that time, even if he captured Montina, in order to cope with the inquiry of the Parliament, he probably had to fall victim to the family.
As long as you persist, you can win by winning the artillery on the mountain. Calgino told himself, and then he loudly ordered: "Seize the mountain, I will kill the guy who commands the artillery!"
The Genoese burst into angry shouts. They were really irritated by the artillery. When they heard the whistle of the artillery shells, they were frightened and frightened, so they were very annoyed. At that time, that terrible look made Gompati on the mountain no doubt at all, if these people fell into the hands of the Genoese, what a terrible ending.
A Genoese mercenary walked gasping forward with a spear. He was at the edge of the line, which meant that he had to walk a little longer than others to catch up with his companions.
A corpse lying on the ground in front caught his attention. He knew it was the army of Montina that was surrounded before.
After paying an unexpected price, the Montina army was finally wiped out, and now they are going to attack the hill with their companions who have just gone through a hard battle.
A corpse that looked like an officer caught the attention of the Genoese mercenary. He immediately ran a few steps and turned over the face-down corpse.
"An official." The mercenary whispered happily. Collecting loot on the battlefield is a way for the mercenary to make a fortune. If you are lucky, you may get something more than salary.
The mercenary kept turning the officer's pocket with a large scar on his head, so he didn't notice that the man's hand moved quietly.
The tingling suddenly came from the armpit ~ EbookFREE.me ~ The mercenary's mouth opened loudly, but it was tightly covered by one hand. With the short knife stabbed into the armpit Thorn, the mercenary's body slowly softened.
"It's bad luck," Dan Fu carefully pushed away the body lying on his side. He tilted his body slightly and looked forward, watching the Genoese passing by not far away. Dan Fu slowly lay down again. Go back.
Dan Fu lay on the ground and looked at the sky. The sky was very blue without a cloud. There were sounds coming from the ground around him. He knew that Genoa's team was passing nearby.
"What the bohemians are doing."
Dan Fu murmured and closed his eyes. His fight was over, at least he couldn't do anything until the victory was won.
At the same time, Alexander, who closely watched the Genoese behind the front, had discovered the changes on the right as the Genoese moved.
"Busak," Alexander said, standing behind a fallen tree trunk. "Ordered to the Bohemians that it was time for them to shop."
