: 64th Battle of the 3 Danubes (3)

Alexander had to admit that he had made a mistake.
In his imagination, the first thought of the Ottomans should be how to completely annihilate his own enemy blocking the road.
With the Ottoman army occupying an absolutely superior force, facing an enemy army with only about 7,000 people, if it is just defeated, it is somewhat commonplace.
This victory can even be achieved by an ordinary child, so with the restraint and arrogance of General Ottomans, they will definitely pursue a more brilliant and even gorgeous victory.
It is obviously a good idea to completely surround and annihilate a 7,000-person force in one battle. After all, in Europe today, there are really few examples of annihilating so many enemy forces in one battle.
It is inferred from this that it is not a trivial achievement even if you think of it in the Ottoman Empire, which is widely known for its soldiers.
With this in mind, Alexander focused on strengthening the flanks of the defense line. He divided the most trusted Agri Musketeers into three parts and arranged them in the center and the two wings, although he thought that the Ottomans would not try to attack their left wing without common sense. The narrow area between the Danube and the Danube, but considering that there might be a general who wanted to be different, he also arranged a relatively small number of Agry musketeers on the left.
But he really valued the right wing.
The relatively flat plain and wide side provide too much convenience for the light cavalry. As long as he thinks of the Anatolian light cavalry ’s past record, Alexander believes that even the most mediocre General Ottoman will not ignore this advantage. .
As for saying that the Ottomans might be concerned about Bucharest on the side, Alexander would rather hope that the enemy ’s generals are bolder and faster, or if they encounter a crowded and aggressive offensive enemy, they may also try to lure Bucharest to send troops. They are wiped out in one fell swoop.
I believe that if that were the case, the Bucharest could not sit still.
The purpose of Alexander was obvious. He just wanted to shrink the tortoise in Bucharest and refused to come out. He even pulled the nobles who wished to rest on the peace.
It was just that he never thought that the enemy in the face would eventually choose a tactic that made him stunned-it was a positive flat push with no technical content.
The army of more than 6,000 people does not seem to look at the numbers alone. Even if it is not in person, I ca n’t imagine what it will look like. But if you really want to arrange such an army, you will find that this is not an ordinary battle. It's that simple.
On the front of Kwanda, nearly 2 Fares, the Montina army had entered their positions according to the battle order, the flag fluttered in the afternoon smoke, the spears stood, and the armor shone.
The eye-catching crimson uniform of the Agari Musketeers was very eye-catching among the various uniforms. The Musketeers arranged in a dense spear phalanx looked like a blaze of fire from a distance.
The Bohemian cavalry can't stop running between the gaps in the queue, either pass orders or shout loudly to boost morale.
In the gap between the squares, Genoa sword shield soldiers do not know whether they are pretending to be leisurely or simply cheering themselves up. It looks like it is not a battle of life and death that is coming but a date with a beautiful chick.
As for the shouting, it seems that you can jump up and swoop up anytime, anywhere. It is a large group of scattered and loose Balkans. Some of the farmers who have headaches for Montina officers are part of the army assigned to Montina. Most of them were organized by Alexander as an independent Balkan regiment under the leadership of Rona Pannoni.
Their task is only one, that is to see the Ottomans swooping up like crazy dogs, it is best to completely disrupt the Ottoman battle sequence with their best sturdiness and barbarism when they come up.
It ’s just that this style of play is obviously very dangerous for the Balkan regiment. Maybe one battle will be completely destroyed due to the heavy damage, but Alexander does not want them to be simple consumables, although in this land It is not difficult to recruit such a group of farmers to add troops, but he has other ideas for the Balkans.
So when Rona Pannoni's enthusiasm asked to arrange his regiment in front of the position, the result was severely rejected by Alexander.
"To be honest behind the fortifications, and to see my orders at any time," Alexander pointed out to his eyes and to Pannoni. "When I ordered you to attack, you To pounce on the enemy like a hyena, but if you do n’t order you, you must be honest behind the fortifications, as long as you obey the order and wait until the battle is over, I will reward you, but if you are not obedient, I will let people pick you up. Just hang it on the tree and whip. "
Pannoni had a strange look on his face, probably imagining that the whole group was gloriously hung on the tree, and he immediately nodded and responded: "All listen to your Earl, you let us do what we do Just do it. "
A team of crimson uniforms, but with shining half-length breastplates of cavalry crossed over between the teams. These cavalry were covered in black short cloaks, wearing sabers and short muskets, and their dress was very conspicuous. The passing caused a burst of cheers from Montina's army.
The hunting guards responded with the same cheers, and then they lined up into the gaps slightly behind each square.
"Sir, there are too few soldiers left by you." An officer asked with some anxiety. This man was the original commander of the Defence Forces of Fort Montina and handed over the regency of Montina to Barron in Alexandria. After Di, he recruited a group of staff from the defending army to enrich this expedition.
"If you don't need to go into battle, it would be a waste to leave too many soldiers, but if it's really time for me to be on the front line, wouldn't it be more wasteful to have so many soldiers in front?"
Alexander looked at the officer who was confused by his plausible answer and smiled. He thought that jokes at this time might relieve the tension. Just looking at the other party's appearance did not seem to be of any use.
"Hunting guards are the last reserve team. If it is time for them to be dispatched, we will either be about to win or face destruction." Alexander whispered, then shook his head inadvertently.
At this time, he missed Gompati and Aufrei very much, but the two men he used to be very handy are now just beside him.
"I hope that Gompati did not have any trouble."
Alexander's quick response to the Ottomans really made him aware, which also made him realize that there must be no slighting of the enemy.
However, he is not very worried. The mobility of the Bohemian cavalry led by Compatti is still very reliable, and the direction of their retreat is Bucharest. If Compatti is cunning enough, maybe they can take advantage of those Bucharest. People also stir in.
Alexander didn't think that Bucharest would treat Gompati in such an indifferent way, but he still had some hope for the nobles in Bucharest who had complicated relations.
At least the arrival of Gompati should be able to mix up the chaotic situation of Bucharest like a catfish.
The sun moved slightly again, and the tree shadow was inclined to stand below to avoid the sun. At this moment, the sharp horn sound of the scout whistle in the distance of the position blew along with the river wind.
The Ottoman army arrived.
The moving black dots slowly approached, gradually forming a line that was either curved or straight.
Some slightly high things are dangling, that is a side of the military flag, it seems that there are not many from a distance, but when gradually approaching, you will find that the number of military flags is so dense, people can not help but secretly speculate how many under the flag army.
As the Ottoman approached, the oncoming wind was also mixed with a lot of strange smells, choking dust, subtle smell, and Ottoman-specific smell with suffocation.
Alexander could feel the looming turmoil in the team, which was caused by the tension in the upcoming battle, and also because of the fear that was hidden in the heart when facing the Ottomans.
For Europeans, the real fear of Ottoman began after the Battle of Varna.
Prior to this, although the decline of Eastern Rome and the subsequent fall of Constantinople in 1453 caused panic in Europe, the fiasco of the Battle of Varna in 1444 was the cause of the true outbreak of European panic disorder .
The failure of the Battle of Varna made the Europeans not only completely abandon the East Roman Empire, which was already lingering at the time, but even felt the crisis even in the European continent.
Over the next few decades, the Ottomans gradually conquered most of the Balkans from Greece, and the long-term rule made the locals have a strong sense of fear in addition to their hatred.
And now they are faced with the Ottoman army led by the Sultan himself, even if the Sultan himself is not here, but as long as he looks at that side of the crescent moon flag, the fear that has been formed for a long time can not help from the heart. Gush out.
Alexander didn't move. He knew that what he said at this time was superfluous. Only a battle could stabilize the soldiers' emotions.
This is why he ordered the construction of fortifications from the beginning.
Alexander was not arrogant enough to think that his army could suppress the Ottomans in the field of pure short soldiers. At least in terms of strength comparison, he had suffered from the beginning. Even if the Sudan would not send all the troops, it would never be used to reflect. The chivalry sent out an amount equal to his strength, so he must face an opponent with superior strength.
And the fear of the Ottomans could not be ignored. Because of this, Alexander was prepared from the beginning to contend with the enemy.
It's just that he didn't expect that the opposite Ottoman commander would be so aggressive to fight a field position with him.
"I really want to meet the Ottoman commander on the opposite side," Alexander said to the entourages around him. "I have to admit that he made me very upset, but I don't think Sudan will be happy at this time."
Alexander ’s guess was good. When he heard that his commander had decided to attack from the front and used the cavalry as a tactical offensive force on the battlefield, Bayesette II had a strong dissatisfaction in his heart.
What he hopes to see is to completely wipe out the enemy on the opposite side, not just destroy it. When he thinks about his own army being bombarded by the Mures River, Sudan feels that just defeating the enemy is not enough to reduce his anger.
In addition, Bayesert II also needed to deter those nobles in Bucharest with a clean and complete large-scale annihilation, especially when he felt that the troubles that Hurva had created behind him were threatening his rule. It is necessary to use such a live example to let those Balkans know the danger of angering him.
However, Bayesert II, who had already issued an order to change the plan, chose silence at the end.
Bayesert II has always respected the decisions made by the frontline general, and he is different from his father in this regard.
The conqueror Mohammed II was more willing to command the army himself, and sometimes he was more like a soldier than a Sudan.
This is not the case with Bayesert II. He respects the decisions made by his commander, especially on the front line where the battlefield situation changes rapidly. Bayesett II does not think he is more experienced than a field-tested player. The general is more suitable for commanding a battle.
"Tell Xi Sugu that if possible, try to cut off the enemy's retreat, I still hope he can bring me more brilliant results, but in the end everything will be decided by him."
After giving this cautiously worded command, the Sultan walked into the Royal Camp, where his favorite concubine was waiting for him. However, the Sultan did not want to take the time to pamper the beauty at the beginning of the battle, but because there was exactly one Very important things are waiting for him to deal with.
Seeing the Sultan walking through the royal tent, the woman who had already waited immediately went up to salute. After helping the Sultan sit comfortably on the pillow, the woman took out a tightly sealed wax sac and took it out of it after breaking it A letter.
"This was sent by a woman named Connie de Malindao," the woman explained to him suspiciously when he saw Sudan's face, "the one who had been to Constantinople before The daughter of European Malin Dao, her father is now in prison in Constantinople, because this woman named Connie promised to do things for us. "
"I remember that man, he seemed to be a traveler," Sultan thought vaguely. "So what news did that woman send?"
The woman glanced at the secret letter in her hand, first stunned and then showed a look that she did not know whether it was happy or worried: "She is now in Rome, and she has found 'that person'."
Suddenly a trace of abnormal red appeared on Sudan's originally calm face, as if suddenly hearing the whereabouts of a dream lover.
"Let that Connie watch him closely ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Payasset II slowly sat down, and as a result, the hookah handed over by the concubine took a hard breath, and then spit out white smoke.
Then the Sudan suddenly greeted the who was waiting outside the royal tent: "Subordinate Xi Sugu and tell him that today is a special day. I want him to celebrate with a veritable victory!"
Sultan's order quickly reached the front, and the commanded Ottoman commander first kissed the tip of the boot on the eunuch's foot to show his obedience to Sudan, and then he rode on horseback with the help of a servant.
As the commander's ponytail lifted high, he swung vigorously, and in a burst of Ottoman-style music accompaniment, the arm of the shield, the Ottoman tribe soldier holding a scimitar, led by a flag, faced the hillside. Tina moved forward.
Almost at the same time, horns sounded on the Montina position.
At this point, at 3 pm on April 4, 1499, the Battle of the Arger River as the prelude to the Battle of Bucharest officially began!
