Vol 5 Chapter 56: Gatekeeper (Part 2)

The long dark red shadow moved on the sandy beach covered with light sand. When those shadows came out of the smoke, you could see that there were rows of soldiers marching in line.
The front row of soldiers picked up the muskets in their hands, although they were still a little far away, but this had caused a nervous exclamation in the boats on the river.
Several heavy shields blocked the bow, but because the people on the ship hurriedly ran around, the hull could not help shaking violently.
The boat drew closer, and the people on the boat listened nervously on the shore.
Suddenly, a shattering cry came from the shore, followed by a deafening gunshot!
The sound of "bang" that the bullet hit the shield was endless, and the shield was shaking violently. The person who pushed the shield in front did not know it was because of the fear of being hit by a bullet that kept hitting and shouted loudly in the mouth. With.
Finally, with a puff, a bright hole appeared on the shield, and then a person staring at the shield suddenly screamed and fell over, and the shield fell down.
The people on the boat were exposed all at once, but before they had time to scream, the dense bullets had smashed their faces.
The boat was spinning around on the river constantly, bullets were flying across the river, and the hit hull was beaten with holes. Some boats were broken and the interconnected panels exposed a large hole, cold The water of the river suddenly rushed in, and the people on the boat immediately tried to close the loophole while screaming and struggling to draw to the opposite bank.
Finally, the hull of a boat touched the bottom of the ship slightly, and the soldiers who had been desperate on the ship immediately roared. They scrambled off the boat, and as soon as their feet landed, they stepped on the cold river with no ankle. Rushing, more people behind them jumped into the river before the boat approached, and the river flowing to the knees and even waist struggled to shore.
The first soldiers to rush ashore saw a group of seemingly familiar faces. Although they didn't know the people they met, they could still distinguish the other from them. The local Balkans were quite common in appearance.
But at this time, no one still cared about this. Looking at the other party as if he was eager to try, he seemed to be rushing at any time. The soldiers stepping on the river bank knew that if there was a little cowardice, they might be rushed back to the river.
Accompanied by a crazy roar, a brutal battle of short soldiers started on the river bank, and the fierceness of the Balkans unfolded at this moment.
Spears, short knives, chain hammers and Balkan's unique cross-handed axe were sprayed with plasma for a while, screaming again and again, the originally white shore of the Mures River was stained with scarlet blood into amazing colors.
Alexander stood high on the horse and looked at the scene on the river beach below. His gaze looked farther into the river and saw more and more boats covered the river. He made a soft hum .
The Marquis of Roy? In North Bosnia became king, and then the king surrendered to the Ottomans. This news surprised even Alexander.
He has long heard of the name of Roy ?, this northern Bosnian hero is worshipped like a legend to many Bosnians.
The experience of participating in the Battle of White Valley and fighting against Mohammed II under Bucharest together with Vlad III made Luwa? A legend.
Many Bosnians believe that regardless of their origin or prestige, Roy? Is the best choice for the Bosnian king.
As a result, Royce did what he wanted to become the king, but it was an Ottoman sultan who wore the crown for him.
Due to the sudden betrayal of Roy, the invisible gate to Bucharest was suddenly opened. The Ottoman army suddenly approached Belgrade at an unexpected speed. Without any preparation, the Earl of Sand in Belgrade hurriedly confronted.
The earl had no chance to consider whether he should fight a sports battle with the Ottomans as suggested by Hilva in a letter to him.
Belgrade is surrounded by Ottomans!
Roy? 'S surrender was in exchange for a crown, and the price he paid was that his army was completely requisitioned by Sudan.
The army loyal to Roy? Was not only quickly incorporated into the Sudanese Expeditionary Force, but was also required to serve as the vanguard of this expedition, and the King himself was the commander of this force.
There are about 4,000 Bosniacs in the Sudanese army. This number is more or less, but there are already many. The Ottoman army ’s forward force is about 16,000. The addition of the Bosnians has brought this forward to nearly 20,000. The Ottoman army has almost 90,000 people!
When Muhammad II expeditioned to the Balkans, there were only 100,000 troops.
Bayesert II was very satisfied with the result. The purpose of his expedition was to stabilize the rule of the Ottoman Empire in the Balkans again by punishing the Greek rebellious nobles. Now North Bosnia has a dependency His king, this result allows him to see the bright prospects of this expedition.
The full name of the Roy? Title is "King of Bosnia and Croats."
But it is clear that neither Bosnia nor Croatia is a complete ruler.
In Zagreb further north, the Croats publicly rejected his title, and some Bosnian nobles also issued a statement that they did not recognize such a king, but no matter how he now wears the crown, and according to the previous to him With regard to the promise, Sudan has decided to send an army with his army in the north to fight against the Hurva in Zagreb.
Roy? Knowing that his decision was beyond the expectations of many people, he also attracted too many questions and curses, but he was not depressed because of this.
Roy? I think I was actually the benefactor who saved Bosnia. Perhaps people now cannot understand him, but I believe that the people will understand his intentions in the future.
Many battles with the Ottomans made him know and understand the true strength of this terrible enemy more than anyone. From Roy ?, those in Bucharest are like a group of little children who blindfolded a wooden knife to a beast, They didn't know what they were facing, and when they really understood it, everything was too late.
Since he made the right choice before they made a fatal wrong decision, would n’t that save the lives of those idiots, and think about how many people might be killed because of the wrong decisions made by those idiots, Lu Va? Even thinks he deserves not only a crown of Bosnia and Croats, but also a greater crown.
For example, if possible, will Sudan make itself the king of the entire Pan-Roman region?
Of course, such an idea can only be hidden in the heart, at least for the time being, but Roy? I do n’t think this is a shameful mind. As long as he can achieve a brilliant record in the next battle, he knows that Sudan is actually very generous. .
A series of meditations were interrupted by a roar of roaring sounds. Roy? Looked towards the river and saw a huge water column rising into the air, first rushing into the air, and then the head-to-face smashed river flooded White smoke wafted around, and the nearest boat to the water column was lifted by the rising head. The falling soldiers desperately swung backwards on the boat carrying the heavy load, but the water would not stop. Raised his arms desperately for help until he was submerged by the rushing river.
"The Franks still have cannons?"
Roy? Used a rather old title. In fact, he wanted to say that the Romans came, but thinking about this title might have more significance for himself in the future, so he decided not to use this term lightly.
"Your Majesty, they shouldn't have many artillery," a general paid careful attention to the white smoke rising across the river. "But I didn't expect that man would dare to stand alone by the river. To know that the clowns in Bucharest should have been scared. Now. "
"It's really brave. For this, I will give him the respect he deserves when he becomes a captive," Roy? Smiled. He did say this with sincerity, even if this strange enemy was soon He will not cause him any more trouble, but it is at least respectable compared to those cowardly hiders in Bucharest, but then his tone suddenly changed. "But because of this, I want him to be my captive. And, soon, before dark, I want to see the enemy ’s flag being driven away from the river bank on the opposite bank. When I cross the river, I hope to get good news that the enemy has been defeated. "
"Your Majesty!"
In the rush of generals under his command, Roy? Urged the horse to walk upstream along the river bank.
At the same time, on the opposite bank of the Mures River, Alexander is also watching the situation on the river.
The sturdy Balkan farmer was arranged by him in the middle of the queue of the Agri Musketeers. After violently firing on the river, the Musketeers retreated back regardless of the outcome.
Alexander was not worried that the Musketeers would be hit hard, so he withdrew them early. After fighting again and again, ‘Agri Musketeers’ is no longer synonymous with loyalty. The name also stands for firm will and bravery.
Many of these southern Italian mountain people who had never touched a sword before, can now calmly raise their rifles against the oncoming heavy cavalry, even if the enemy has rushed to the front, if they have not heard the order, they can Wait firmly to hear the signal before firing.
The Genoa sword shields and spearmen standing with them are the most faithful companions of the musketeers. They will use their weapons to erect a tight spear forest shield wall to build a sufficient for their companions. Come to rely on firepower to move positions.
Such a combination of hot and cold, and the appropriate formation in the near and far provide Alexander with sufficient protection to compete with any enemy.
Whenever the sound of intensive gunfire sounded in the dense phalanx, Alexander could quickly distinguish whether it was a built-up light flintlock, or a frightening, heavy firearm like a small gun.
And whenever the terrible heavy matchlock gun that can shoot through heavy armor at 100 steps out roared, Alexander could imagine that there would often be a person across from him who looked like the armor was too coquettish and was stared at by the heavy gunner The unlucky guy fell to the ground.
The Balkans and their fellow villagers who were arranged closest to the river beach met unexpectedly. The two sides launched a brutal fight on the river beach, tough and tough, brutal and brutal, although they spoke the same language and shared a common belief, But at this time, they had only the axe cut by the other party in their eyes, and only the desire to kill the other party in their hearts.
The defender of the river bank has a natural advantage. When those who are on the water can't take the Bosnians to walk because of the heavy wet body, the Balkans waiting on the bank have swung their axe to cut them head-on.
At the same time, the Bohemian light cavalry ran along both sides of the river bank. They sometimes approached from time to time. The repeated impact of short muskets and sabers caused headaches for a few Bosniacs who could break through the Balkans.
Alexander glanced at the flat of the beach fort not far away, frowning slightly at the margin.
There were four artillery pieces there, and this was all the possession of Compatti.
Moreover, the caliber of these artillery is not large, and the disadvantage of having to choose to carry only a few small artillery in order to march quickly has now become prominent.
Looking at the rising water column on the river from time to time, Alexander knew that the field artillery mounted on the detachable artillery car had a far greater threat than the actual lethality they caused.
Gompatti was also very annoyed. Because of the long distance, these babies who had to sacrifice caliber and weight could not satisfy his desire for thicker and longer. Now he is eager to know how much can be available for him in Bucharest City. Used artillery.
The four artillery rounds fired shells at the river surface. Some of the shells were solidified with sheep oil specially immersed in the cold river water. When the smooth appearance of the shells and the intense friction of the barrel became extremely hot, the shells were The air quickly disintegrated, and a large, sharp iron steel sheet screamed like a steel locust that fell from the sky and smashed into the river. For a time, the river water was turbulent with fragments of flesh and screaming sounds. Screams.
The first Bosniacs bravely rushed to the river beach. They fought hard against the enemy, competing for every inch of land and every piece of fine sand on the river beach. Someone fell at any time, and the screams of the wounded wounded one after another, terrible everywhere Brutal fight.
"Balkans ..."
Alexander muttering on the back of Pagasos muttered to himself, this was the first time he saw the Balkans fighting, and he was "lucky" to see the battle between the Balkans.
Without mercy, sympathy, and compassion for fellow countrymen, Alexander ’s cruelty, even though his fellow countrymen were different because of different camps, made Alexander feel a little surprised.
"They are brave and loyal, lord, these soldiers deserve a reward." Even Busako, who doesn't like the Balkans very much, praises heartily. "As long as you follow the command, they can become the best hunting guards."
"Follow the command?"
The corner of Alexander's mouth slightly moved. He felt that Nashan was too procrastinating. The messengers that had been sent before had no news yet, which made Alexander feel strange when he remembered.
After all, my mother is still charming, does Nashan still want to wait until his mother gives him a younger brother and sister?
"Almost enough, order the Musketeers to shoot the river!" Alexander gave the order.
The Agri Musketeers were dispatched again, and under the cover of the phalanx of spears and sword shields, the Musketeers crossed the Balkans who were fighting each other on the above the river beach, and began to head towards the river that was trying to continue landing Two groups of Bosniacs shot fiercely.
At the same time, the only four guns of Gompati also adjusted the height of the muzzle and bombarded the river closer to the shore.
After a series of agitated water columns and dense splashes of water splashed like rainstorms, the second batch of Bosniaks did not expect that they would be suddenly hit so strongly.
The boat was overturned, people were penetrated, blood and river water could not help surging on the broken ship board, because the soldiers crowded on the ship had no place to hide, often there were several people in a row of bullets. Numerous terrible bullet holes were punched on his body.
When the people on the first boat finally could not bear the terrible blow and started to turn around, more and more boats stopped first, and then they were forced to drift away from the roar of bullets flying all over the river. Go to ~ EbookFREE.me ~ The Bosniaks on the river beach finally couldn't hold on. The result of losing their support was ruthless killing. They began to retreat into the river, driven by the Balkans, except for a few people who had time to climb Most people can only grab the boat's gang and attach to the surrounding river to draw.
The Musketeers started to advance towards the river beach. They advanced in order in the sound of marching music, stopped, raised their guns, and aimed.
Every movement is so uniform, if seen from a distance, coupled with the rhythmic music, it even reveals an elegance that is incompatible with this cruel battlefield.
"Fire!"
Moving forward elegantly, aiming gracefully with a gun, the result is brutal killing.
A large piece of red water floated across the river, which was also mixed with several dead bodies floating and sinking.
The Bosnian attack was disintegrated, and their army retreated back to the west bank of the Mures River. When Roy? Got the news and returned to the most intense side of the river, he saw that Pieces of scarlet flowing downstream.
