Vol 4 Chapter 166: Welcome home

Alexander's praise made O'Leary surprised and even overwhelmed.
But looking at Alexandria's happy face, Aufrei still understood his mood now.
Calgino didn't guess wrong. There was no plan before this seemingly perfect pinch battle. Even before the battle began, neither side knew what would happen next.
Being able to support the arrival of Aufrei is not so much a keen discovery of a daring decision after a fighter plane as much as Alexander's understanding and trust in him.
O'Leary would not be passive, only hiding in the castle and waiting for rescue, or the kind of person who hoped to take the enemy away. Alexander knew this when he knew this young man.
Alexander once imagined what his men would look like in the future.
Gompati will be a very good artillery and defense master. He will become a nightmare for the enemy for a long time, because with his dedication to the artillery and the perfection of technology, maybe he can become a future generation by both the enemy and the enemy Characters that can be forgotten.
Uliu will become his court director, and the Moors now take on such a role. At least before Alexander's hand, he has established that he is not only the master's most trusted servant, but sometimes his agent. Identity.
This can be seen from the fact that many Pisa officials are more willing to pass Uliu than others, hoping to get some news about Alexander.
Alexander also envisioned Carlo's future.
An excellent cavalry officer may not be able to stand alone because of his talents and personality, but it is still trustworthy and can play a role anywhere on the battlefield when necessary.
It ’s just that Carlo is no longer here. Alexander once secretly asked if he would regret the original decision, and also thought if he would forgive Carlo if he re-chosen, but every time he found out that he would still make that kind of harshness. Decide.
Carlo ’s tragedy was not because he acted in violation of orders, but because of the near-strong hostility towards the non-Agrigans, he had already made him desperate to fight for honor.
What will be the future of O'Leary?
Careful, young and full of energy, Alexander felt he could become a competent chief of staff.
In this battle, OFLA's actions proved that his guess was correct.
The Genoese casualties were not as big as they thought, but maybe it was the result of Calgino ’s timely decision. When the battlefield was cleaned, the Montina quickly discovered that, in addition to the Genoese left-wing forces who were forced to surrender, There are not many casualties.
On the contrary, despite the victory, the Montina of Alexander ’s own casualties were no less than those of the Genoa, especially the casualties caused by the retreat in the battle accounted for a large part.
It can be said that if O'Freuil didn't feel it in time, Alexander's failure was only a matter of time.
"There were many captives this time," Aufrei looked at the seizure results sent by his men, and then handed them to Alexander. "Gompatti's artillery has done a great job this time."
"So he has offered me to buy new artillery," Alexander smiled. "Almost 500, eh?"
"It's almost the majority of the Genoese left wing," Aufrei was a little curious. "I think Gompati's luck is so good that he actually killed all officers of the Genoese left wing with just one shot.
"I hope this kind of good luck will always follow him, otherwise he will have few good days in the future," Alexander put aside the results of the statistics, and he felt very strange about the good luck of Gompati, but as he did With the development of war, the power and importance of artillery will soon be widely known.
At that time, as if it was the only cavalry capable of fighting against cavalry, Gompati's artillery is bound to become the first target of enemy artillery to be eliminated.
"What are you going to do with those captives, and their wounded soldiers, after all, we already have a lot of wounded soldiers that we can't take care of." Aufrei asked in a low voice.
The end of the battle is just the beginning of various troubles that follow up, cleaning the battlefield, burying the corpses, placing the wounded, and disposing of the prisoners.
A series of complicated affairs will drag down an army firmly. This is also the reason why many people in history can clearly take advantage of the chase, but often give up the good opportunity so that the enemy has a precedent of breathing opportunities.
Now these troubles are entangled in Alexander, which makes him wonder if he should set up a special staff to take care of these cumbersome affairs.
But he also knows that in the current situation, he can only think about it, not to mention that he does not have enough competent staff at all, even if there are such people, with the development of the army now and Italy that will soon erupt In war, those who can be useful must first consider supplementing combat troops, rather than focusing on themselves, and doing specialized tedious tasks.
Alexander couldn't help but renewed the idea of ​​establishing a special military school as soon as possible, just where to start, he hadn't figured it out for a while.
Fortunately, although they were caught by these tedious tasks, the Genoese were obviously not the kind of enemies who fought back immediately after getting a gasp.
In fact, although Calgino quickly collected and rectified the team after retreating, he did not stay but retreated to the north until he retreated to the town of Oral before.
After requisitioning the house in the town as a temporary barracks, Calgino decided not to retreat.
However, he did not intend to counterattack, but after a good day's sleep, he got up from the bed and began to write without thinking about eating.
Calgino ’s letter was written quickly, and sometimes he stopped to think about what he had written before and started over, but he obviously did n’t have the habit of throwing away what he had written before, so his letter There are more words written by others than others, and there are various marks on the letter paper that erase and rewrite.
"You have to let Genoa know everything, even if you think about what should be changed afterwards," Calgino said to a close friend. "So I want you to try to see and know what you see when you report what happened here Everything tells them that only such stubborn guys know how to deal with this gombre. "
"Sir, do you think it is possible for the parliament to authorize another attack?"
"I don't know, this result is not good for us now, and if Old Rovere incited those members of parliament to oppose us, maybe this is our only battle."
Calgino walked a few steps back and forth in the room a little helplessly, and then sat weakly in a chair, with his head hanging weakly and said, "Go and let someone give me something to eat. I have been there for 2 days. I have n’t eaten anything, and let them send some ink, and I have to write a letter. "
Speaking of which, he raised his head and smiled at the cronie: "This time it was written to Gombray."
Alexander received a letter from Calgino on the second day of his return to Montina.
The joy or excitement of victory did not last long, but the tragedy when his army returned to Montina was that many Montina people had a lot of discussion.
Although the army has been rectified, the smoke and exhaustion that are hard to erase from the soldiers still make this victorious army look a bit decadent.
Until he saw the detained captive, Montina's talent gradually appeared excited.
"Look at them, these people obviously still don't know what kind of encounters will be waiting for them in the next few years," Alexander said to the two men around him. "Trust me, they will soon get used to seeing this now Kind of scenario. "
"Adult, will the French really call soon?" Gumpati asked in a low voice. "I heard that the French have great artillery, and we used French to make artillery in Pisa."
Alexander nodded. He knew that Compatti was talking about the artillery that had been cut off at the port in order to defend Pisa.
"At most it will be next year," Alexander responded by saying "Charlie's death forced the French to postpone the invasion again, but I believe that the Duke of Orleans should not easily give up this opportunity."
"Is that new king very powerful?" Aufrei asked with some concern. Unlike Gumpati, who paid more attention to the battlefield, Aufrei was well aware of Montina's current situation. "Master, maybe France People will attack us. "
"So why do you think Genoa suddenly decided to take over Montina, are they really just to prevent the Venetians from entering Romagna?"
Seeing O'Leary seem to be in a state of contemplation, Alexander did not disturb but let him think and explore himself.
Alexandria did not tell O'Leary that he had dealt with the Duke of Orleans, so whether from personal experience or history, he knew that Louis XII's ambitions for Italy were no less than his predecessor.
Ofolai's grasp of the situation was a surprise to Alexander. Especially in this almost inexplicable battle with the Genoese, Ofolai has proved that the judgment of the battlefield situation is surprising.
Therefore, Alexander does not intend to influence him too much, as long as he grasps the most basic historical trend, the specific things are still to be done by more adept people. At least in terms of intuition on the battlefield, Alexander believes that he is no less than Aufrei clever.
Ashley had already stood on the fork from the town to the castle early, and beside her there was Pompeii with dissatisfaction all over her face.
Ashley smiled when she saw Aurei. She first looked up and down for a while, as if to determine if there was nothing missing from Aurei, before she set her eyes on his face.
"Being a soldier, today you are not decent enough." Ashley deliberately leaned her chin.
"Yeah, after all, I just fought a battle. Speaking of a shell that exploded not far away from me, I was lucky enough to be able to return with all the feathers." Alfrei was a little listless. Said.
"God, what happened ?!" Ashley's intentionally pretentiously arrogant face changed instantly. She was a little panicked and took Aphrodite's hand to look up and down suddenly, then suddenly raised her head and stared at Gong triumphantly. Patty "Don't you also have a cannon, why did you expose him to this danger?"
Gompati looked dumbfounded at the scene before turning around to ignore the two.
"Adult, I'm so glad you can come back," Pompeni glanced at Orphei with some disgusting eyes. He felt that his daughter had become stupid in front of this guy. He could be sure that this guy was telling a lie. "You But I did n’t come back for a while. We must know that we are about to start work. "
Hearing the little complaint of the craftsman, Alexander smiled. He knew that Pompeii was still very concerned about the construction of the castle of Montina, especially after reading the plans for the construction of the castle of Montina in the future. Can no longer pretend not to care.
After all, for him, it is of extraordinary significance to be able to become a supervisor for building such a military fortress destined to become a model.
In the dome of the castle of Montina, Alexander summoned all the people in the territory who were qualified to meet him, including the leaders of the Genoese soldiers.
The situation of these Genoese people is a bit awkward. The Montina people regard them as outsiders, and the defenders simply treat them like enemies.
So in addition to food and various necessary supplies, these Genoese can only stay in a camp far away from the castle, and in order to prevent these Genoese mutiny, Aufrei ordered their weapons before leaving Montina Concentrated.
Now these leaders are suspicious and indifferent, and some stand in front of Alexander with a hostile look.
After all, their current situation is no different from those of captives.
"You were sent in accordance with the agreement between the cardinal and me, so I hope you follow the terms of the agreement and I will pay you a good remuneration. If you do better, you will find more . "
Alexander looked at the Genoa team leaders standing in front of him. He noticed that they heard a sigh of relief when they heard this, but there were also two people whose faces were always gloomy and unmoved.
While Alexander secretly noted the names of the two people, he was also wondering who should replace them.
He did n’t have much time to buy people ’s hearts, especially these Genoese soldiers, he needed them to fight for him, and this demand was urgent, especially after experiencing a field battle with Genoese, he hoped to master these Genoese as soon as possible. .
Aggri's bravery in field battles convinced Alexander that his army was gradually becoming a force capable of contending with any enemy.
In the face of the Genoese who have a huge advantage in field experience, the performance of Montina soldiers has far exceeded Alexander's hopes.
But Montina's army was still almost on the verge of a complete collapse, and Alexander knew that, as he himself said, this victory should belong to Ofrei and not him.
It was O'Fairley's resolute determination and keen insight that finally led them to this victory.
The Montina army ’s impressive performance on the battlefield also proved the importance of these Genoese soldiers.
In the face of Genoa ’s crossbow and spearmen, the Montina army played a key role far above the opponent ’s musketeers. The long-range killings even nearly collapsed the enemy ’s formation.
But once the two sides approached, Montina's army lacked melee units, or the lack of determination and bravery in close combat, which was exposed.
Today's musket technology has not been developed to fully compress refrigeration weapons.
For the current army, the combination of hot and cold distances is still the best choice.
The example of this should be the Spanish phalanx that Gonzalo is about to shine in the Italian War.
Alexandria needs the Genoese army, but this does not mean that he needs disobedient leader.
But there are too many facts to be done now, at least for those Genoa captives, he needs to find a place for them as soon as possible.
Alexander would not be stupid enough to kill these people. No Italian city-state has done this, even the powerful monarchs will not do so easily.
Imagine that the British had had this kind of killing in the battle of Crecy, but the price was that they had almost lost their last chance to stand on the mainland since then.
And because we have to consider that we have Genoese troops under our hands, Alexander is even less able to do that kind of thing.
In fact, Alexander was still very interested in these Genoa captives.
The Genoese may not be the best soldiers. At least if they are faced with Swiss mercenaries, Alexander doubts whether Gompati can easily capture their left wing troops.
However, in addition to mercenaries in the Genoese army, many local soldiers are also quite qualified sailors, and for countries along the Mediterranean coast, experienced sailors are valued no matter what the era.
Sure enough, the day after Alexander returned to Montina, a Genoese messenger brought Calgino's letter.
In the letter, Calgino congratulated Alexander on his victory, and after showing enough respect to the enemy, he proposed a considerable amount of ransom to Alexander.
"10,000 Florin?"
"Yes, the earl's money is enough to redeem the captives," the messenger looked out the window. He noticed that the captives were being driven to work in the open space outside the castle, watching them carrying stones naked. The messenger pouted. "And forgive me for saying this, because your artillery commander cleanly wiped out their officers, so the ransom of almost 20 of these soldiers for each of these soldiers seems to be a little high."
The messenger's words caused Alexander to raise his eyebrows slightly.
"You have forgotten that this is just ransom, not compensation. Didn't Kargino forget to lose his reason because of the failure? As the party that first provoked the war and failed, should we bear all the losses caused and pay the compensation after the defeat? ? "
"Sir, we have not failed, and taking over Montina is the decision of the Genoa Parliament, and you refuse to implement the orders of the Parliament and the Governor, and you have committed a felony in accordance with the laws of Genoa."
The fierce voice of the messenger echoed in the main hall of the castle of Montina, and then he straightened his waist ~ EbookFREE.me ~ staring at Alexander with an undoubted expression.
"I don't think we have anything to talk about," Alexander stood up slowly. He walked down from the main seat and stood before the messenger. "Listen, I'm Earl Montina, and my title From my fiancee, not the Genoese parliament you said. So you can go back and tell your general and parliament, if they ca n’t give me a satisfactory answer on this matter, then I will consider the Venetian with Romagna ’s The right to rule is negotiated. "
Alexander's words made a sullen look on the face of the originally high-spirited messenger. He looked at Alexander stunnedly, because his face became very ugly because he didn't know how to answer.
Alexander ignored the man and turned to the door. Hearing that the Genoese shouted behind him because of the guards, Alexander shook his head slightly and walked out of the main hall.
"My knighthood comes from my fiancee, my fiancee," Alexander whispered while walking, until he came to the door of the vault to stop a little, then gently opened the door and smiled slightly to the person who turned around and saw it. " Welcome home, Barendi. "
