Vol 5 Chapter 110: The Great Siege (23)

A Luoxia strolled in the dense forest, dense waist-waisted grass heard the dense footsteps from time to time, A Luoxia turned around and looked behind him, saw a young man in the distance riding on the back of the donkey shaking back and forth Shaking one side focused on what was written on the wooden board around his neck, and his mouth murmured from time to time, as if he was meditating on what was written down, because he was so attentive that when Aloxia began to warn, his The forehead had hit a thick branch that had come out.
The young man tumbled and fell off the back of the donkey, and the wooden planks around his neck flew into the grass and disappeared. For a time, the sound of laughter rang in the woods.
"I can't believe he is the brother of the legendary knight Rakush."
"A young man with a hairy head who can only hold a pen all day long."
Perhaps no one is really malicious, but many people are obviously not very worthy of Omo.
The Rakush brothers have been in the army of Helva for some time. He is very happy about the arrival of this legendary knight. He knows that he is not good at commanding battles. As for the previous Alexander proposed to him This kind of means is for the purpose of bringing down the Ottomans. Although Helva is trying to do as much as possible, he has been secretly anxious for how long he can persist.
The arrival of Rakush gave Helva hope. This man seems to be a natural and cunning warrior. He often can not only accurately discover the weaknesses of the Ottoman defense, but also be keenly aware of which are the real prey and which are the lures. The bait that made them fall into the trap.
Especially according to Rakush ’s plan, after they skillfully and smoothly attacked several Ottoman supply teams that delivered important supplies, Hurva felt that it was still possible to give the command of the army to this person.
As for Okumo, Rakush's younger brother, Hilva made him the secretary of the army, and what surprised him was that Omo was actually a student of the University of Prague.
It ’s just that for today ’s Hrva, a talented student at Prague University is obviously not as useful as a soldier who can fight for war. For others, the younger brother of the legendary knight Kurash is actually a bad sword. Nerds, this makes them even more surprised.
But although he always laughed at Omo from time to time, in fact not only did nobody really despise him, on the contrary, in the seemingly coquettish mocking, people looked at Omo with a little awe in his eyes.
These farmers who do n’t even know the letters always look up naturally to the learned people. In their view, such a person will one day do great things, at least since this young man named Omo came The messy logistics of His Royal Highness finally became gradually organized.
This allowed the Kurash brothers to establish a high prestige in the army of Hurva in a short period of time, but an important reason for even some nobles to respect the brothers who were not of high background was because Aloxia .
After returning to Hurva, Aloxia became silent. Rumors about her disappearance disappeared a lot at first, but then slowly faded away.
Helva was a bit disappointed with Aloxia. He felt that this niece had no sense of responsibility as a member of the Duke of Zagreb family, but fortunately at least she did n’t find that Moorco, nor did she have time to do anything to make everyone lose face. Thing, so Hilva finally decided to forgive her niece ’s recklessness. As Aloxia ’s departure might affect his future finding a suitable husband for her, Hilva thought it was not very important after thinking for a long time.
This is because with the invasion of the Ottomans, the aristocracy in the entire Balkan region has been greatly hit, some families have died in battle, and some have become vassals of the Ottomans, and more nobles because of the arrival of pagans Having to go into exile, the Balkans at this time were full of turmoil and chaos, because of this turmoil, not only the barrier between the ranks of nobility has been broken, and even the solid boundary between nobles and civilians has begun to shake.
"I heard that in Moravia, Grand Duke Stefan personally sealed several civilians as nobles." During the break, Kurash held up a hip flask and said vaguely to his brother who came to him for dinner. It ’s important to know that in the past, even the Grand Duke did not have the right to enshrine nobles. "
"Yeah, everything is different now," Omar nodded. He pressed Kurashi's forehead to his hand, and said to Kurash, "You might be able to enter the Senate."
"Senior courtyard," Kurash leaned against a half-pile of pours and poured wine into his mouth. "Maybe, if I didn't die, maybe one day I would be eligible to wear a red robe and stand with those big nobles, I think this is also the greatest glory of my life, but you are not the same as Omo, you are destined to become a big man. "
"A big man in Belgrade's court?" Thinking of what his brother said before, Omo smiled and asked a little helplessly, "Did you hear about the Count Sander?"
"I heard that," Kurash sighed. "That idiot must stick to Belgrade, and he ended up in a deadly battle. It would be much better if he had left the city as early as the Duke."
"So I don't have a chance to be a big man in the court," Omo sat bored with his brother and threw broken wood into the fire. "I am the second son, as long as I can get a small piece of land from you in the future That ’s why, if you really want me to have a better life, you will get more praise from the Duke. "
Kurash laughed, not very concerned about Kurash, who is regarded as a legend, but he has always been proud of a brother who is more knowledgeable than anyone.
"There is actually another chance," Kurash blinked and lowered his voice. "If you can become Miss Aloxia's husband, things will be much easier."
"No, Kurash, she doesn't like me," Omar first shook her head to deny it, and then there was a slight worry in her tone. "I can see that she seems to like you more."
"Oh, what nonsense are you kid talking about, that lady might be a princess in the future, how could she fall in love with someone like me, she should love you. Look at yourself Omo, young and handsome, and any No one is as good at learning as those who are under the Duke are particularly jealous of you now. "
Kurash shook his hand disapprovingly. He was so powerful that he seemed to be throwing away.
Watching his brother look impatient, Omo froze a little, and then sighed silently.
This is the case, I do n’t know when it started, the ambiguous rumors between the Kurash brothers and Aloxia began to circulate in the army of Hurva, and all kinds of speculations about the wonderful relationship between these three people finally passed. When arriving in Hurva, it is strange that this time, Hurva did not get angry, but used a whimsical silence to make this rumored truth even more confusing.
As for Aloxia herself, she doesn't know who she likes now.
The shadow of Moorco has become more and more obscure, and sometimes even she wonders why she and Moorco were so in love because of it. Now she does n’t know how to describe the relationship with the brothers. .
A brave and legendary knight, and the other is a young scholar with versatility that many people including her admire. Both of them make A Luo Xia curious and are deeply in love. Attracted her.
Aloxia was sometimes troubled. She even wondered what to do if Moore came back, but this problem only made her feel more at a loss.
But Aloxia's own trouble soon became insignificant with the arrival of bad news.
After nearly two months of perseverance, with the unfortunate death of the Earl of Sand in Belgrade, the city was captured, and the last resistance in the mountainous southeast of Belgrade, the Mineral Valley Monastery finally surrendered.
This monastery was built in the mountains by a group of hidden monks many years ago. The dangerous terrain and sturdy buildings make this monastery an excellent place for evasion and defense.
After the death of the Earl of Sand, a group of Belgrades who broke out escaped into the mountains to hide in the monastery for their final resistance. After so long, the Mineral Valley Monastery finally surrendered.
This means that the Ottoman army originally used to siege Belgrade has also completely freed up its hands to reinforce the siege of Bucharest by the main Sudanese.
"Things are getting worse."
When he heard the news, Kurash gave a helpless sigh. He actually knew the strength of the Ottomans better than anyone. It was precisely because of this that he had not been optimistic about Earl Sander ’s attempt to defend Belgrade.
"Roy? Action now."
Also frustrated by the news, Hurva suddenly spoke, and the Duke, who was quite proud of the effective harassment and destruction of the occupied area during this time, became pessimistic again, especially when he heard that the siege of Belgrade was close to 20,000. When the Ottoman army was about to reinforce Sudan, it seemed that Hvar had already seen the end of Bucharest. ""
"Before Roy? You might be hesitant, but now I think he is probably eager to invade Hungary more than anyone else," Hirva said staring at the unsteady flickering flames on the table. "Bucharest can't help but invade Hungary Maybe in the future, you will get more benefits when negotiating. "
"Yeah, that Roy? Would indeed do this. He is a greedy guy." Kurash was also a bit discouraged. He knew how to fight the enemy, but the situation now only made him feel that the Ottomans could not The power of resistance "Maybe we should retreat back to Hungary immediately, otherwise, when the army of Roy? Enters Hungary completely, maybe our retreat will be cut off."
Kurash ’s suggestion was immediately endorsed by Hrva, although he knew that once he left Croatia, he might never have the chance to come back, and as Roy? Invaded Hungary, their situation would become much more difficult. It may even face the bargaining chip for Hungary ’s future negotiations with Ottomans, but the urgent task now is how to get rid of the danger that the Bosnian army might be cut off by Roy?
Helva immediately ordered the departure. At this time, in addition to worrying that he might be cut off by Roy ?, he was also worried that the Ottoman named Elup might take advantage of the opportunity to fight back and forth with the Bosnian army that had entered Hungary. If so, he Life is really hard.
Hurva ’s fears were obviously not unfounded. On the second day of the Bosnian army ’s crossing of the border between the two countries, the governor of the occupied area, Eryup, issued orders from Zagreb to advance the interception of all siege forces northward.
For a time, the resistance army led by Hurva was faintly surrounded between the two armies of Bosnia and Ottoman.
Faced with this dangerous situation, Kurash finally worried.
Before he was able to take this resistance army flexibly active in the occupied area because there were no worries, but now when they face the Hungarians who may consider them as chips in addition to the Bosnia and Ottomans, Ku Rush also became worried because of this precarious situation.
To make matters worse, their area of ​​activity has obviously become much smaller than before, which has forced Hurva to start thinking about retreating to Kanyola, which borders northwestern Croatia when necessary.
It was only soon that the bad news for Hurva gave him a head start.
Grand Duke Carniola accepted the conditions proposed by the Bosnian King Roy? While promising to provide supplies to the Bosnian army, it also allowed the resistance from Croatia to be denied entry to Kaniola.
The news made Helva feel for a moment that he seemed to be in a desperate situation surrounded by enemies.
"Perhaps we should go to Bucharest," Hilva even made such a suggestion that would never be made in the past. Obviously at this time he began to feel that the solid wall was more reliable, but the words were quickly exported as soon as they were exported. He was rejected by himself. "No, that city is already doomed to fall. If you go there, it means death."
Gerva said, looking at the map in front of him, when he saw the large coastline on the map, the Duke ’s heart could not help but lightly: "Dear Kurash, can you lead us to the seaside safely, I am Say across the mountain. "
Hurva pointed to the mountains running north-south on the map, his eyes glowing with hope.
"This is very important, it is related to the life and death of all of us." Helva said solemnly. "If we can successfully escape from the Ottomans, I swear I will reward you for your merits."
"So where are you going to go, Your Highness?" Kurash did not answer directly, but turned his attention to the map. When he saw the position of the Duke's hand on the map, Kurash exhaled gently. Your Highness, are you leaving Croatia? "
A hint of confusion flashed through Hurva's face, but he quickly covered it up.
"We must avoid the Ottomans, but our current situation is very dangerous. We can't believe anyone, even Hungarians, but we can go to Rome and ask for asylum in the Vatican." Hurva said excitedly. "We There is also the army. I believe that the Vatican and the Western kings and nobles will understand that they will become dangerous if they do n’t help us, so we can go to Rome first, and then find someone who can help us and then come back. "
Watching Herva's excited expression ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Kurash shook his head secretly.
He knew that Herva was afraid and he wanted to escape this land.
This made Kurash a little annoyed, because he felt that he should have known that this duke would look like this in the end, but he actually ran to this man with hope.
Kurash opened his mouth to say something. At this moment, a burst of noise suddenly came from outside the tent, and Herva's face instantly turned pale.
"The Ottomans are coming ?!"
"No, Your Royal Highness, we caught a spy," two men scolded and shoved a man with a head covering in his head. "This man kept asking us everywhere, and then someone told us a secret, but he kept Shouting to see your highness. "
"Who is this person?" Helva asked anxiously.
When the soldier pulled off the hood over the man's head and took out the cloth that was stuffed in his mouth, the man with a terrified look shouted out loudly: "Don't kill me, I sent a letter for the grown-ups, I gave the governor a piggyback After talking, I want to see the Duke! "
