Vol 5 Chapter 111: The Great Siege (23)

Helva repeatedly looked at the letter in the dim lanolin lamp. He didn't understand some things at first, but when he finally understood the contents of the letter, he thought it was not a clever trap.
The letter didn't specifically tell him what to do, and he didn't even mention the names of any of them for confidentiality, but from the description of a few small things that seemed unimportant, Hilva knew that this should be given to him by Alexander written.
This mentioned their past in the jungle camp in Croatia, and how Alexander in Zagreb advised him to leave the city that he has never been able to give up, and to strive for more space for his activities and flexibility. The Ottomans contend with the suggestion, although those topics use a very obscure way, but if not the parties can not know these.
But even so, Helva still could n’t believe the content of his heart. He even wondered if Alexander had been captured in the battle in Bucharest, and after the Ottomans executed the confession, they spoke of their previous relationship before they had it. Such a letter, otherwise how could there be such a thing in the letter.
The Duke looked at the letter repeatedly with uncertain faces, hoping to find flaws in it, and then he began to ask the businessman who had stood in front of him and said that he kept talking.
Helva asked very carefully, and repeated it as long as there was a little doubt. He hoped to discover conspiracy and tricks from this man ’s words, but although he heard it really made him think it was unbelievable, but he did n’t know what to do Where to find the fault.
"You mean you have seen the Ottoman governor?"
"Your Highness, in fact I got a lot of convenience from him, otherwise I wouldn't be able to return to Bucharest. You probably can't imagine the size of the Ottoman army. Now I will feel terrified if I think about it a little bit."
"So how do you explain this, and why the Ottoman is willing to say the same as in the letter," Hilva pointed to the letter in his hand, because the letter repeatedly reminded him to keep it secret, and Hilva had to follow Alexander's reminder, Let only a few trustworthy people participate in this secret meeting. "The Ottoman is willing to provide us with directions for the Bosnians to march, and if I understand correctly, there is also a suggestion that he should let us help him to drag the Bosnian army, tell What exactly does my Ottoman want to do, is he going to betray his Sultan? "
Gerva chattered endlessly, he felt that these suggestions were too absurd, and even some simple to the point of madness, because of this he was very doubtful about the truth of this matter, but despite this, deep inside he He kept telling himself, "If these are true, can't we get rid of our current predicament?"
Helva did not want to leave Croatia, let alone the Balkans.
Roy? Is now the King of Bosnia. Although his territory actually ends on the north bank of the Naousava River, according to the tradition of the Kingdom of Bosnia, Croatia's territory is clearly included under the rule of Roy.
Hrva was very worried that he would become a real lost Duke once he left. By that time, Roy may not only seize the title of Duke of Zagreb, but may even crown the crown of Croatia directly. There is no chance to return to this land.
Therefore, less than a last resort, Hilva did not want to leave the country in exile.
If it can really be as written in the letter, the situation will definitely change a lot. At least with the help of the Ottomans, they can not only successfully drag the hind legs of the Bosnians, causing all kinds of troubles for Roy? Even when necessary, they can contact the Hungarians and inflict heavy damage on the invading Bosnian army.
It's just that these suggestions are too tempting, so that Helva feels less real.
Moreover, the Ottoman Governor named Erup, which was mentioned implicitly, also made him distrustful. He was still very impressed with that person. At least he felt that the person was a "difficult to deal with" enemy.
"I'm a businessman," Prato kept explaining to himself. "I'm only sending messages between you. I don't know the others, but I know that some people want me to send you some news, so I will I did this, but please rest assured that the adult I know is very good. If you do n’t trust me, you can send someone to find out about him. "
Seeing Herva ’s concerns and worries, Prato decided to be honest and hostage, and Herva also thought his advice was good, so Prato became a natural part of the Ottoman Resistance Army However, his goods were not only confiscated, but he was also monitored.
Hurva gave the Kurash brothers the task of inquiring about the news. He did not say why he wanted to inquire about the earl, but he still asked the Kurash brothers to make sure that the earl of Montina had recent movements.
"I want to know where the count is now, whether he is safe, and the status of his army today, which is very important." Herva commanded the pair of brothers anxiously. "The news is too easy to confuse now. I do n’t want to miss any ambiguity, I must know everything we can inquire about this person. "
Herva ’s attention caused the Kurash brothers to be careful. They realized that this matter was important to the Duke, and they also showed great interest in the suddenly appeared foreign businessman.
Omo even offered to quietly meet the guy who always stayed alone with the Duke's cronies and asked him about his purpose of seeing the Duke, but this suggestion was stopped by Kurash.
"They don't want us to know then don't ask. Sometimes knowing too much may not be a good thing," Kurash didn't care about Herva's refusal to tell him the truth. He is more concerned about how to get his brother to get that. The heart of Miss Aloxia "You should work harder. I can see that the girl blushed like an apple when she talked to you. Believe me, my brother, at least she has a good opinion of you."
"Why me? Doesn't Miss Aloxia come to you every time? You are a legendary knight," Omo said aggressively. "Think if you marry this lady, you can bring it to our family. The benefits of coming, at least you can smoothly enter the Senate. "
Kurash walked in front of the donkey and shook his head when he heard his brother ’s words:
I ’m a poor soldier. I ’m not comfortable wearing the red robe of the old mansion, let alone looking at the scenery like that It ’s better to be a real big man in the court. Omo believes that you must be a good bear in the future. Our family will count on you to have a long face. Do n’t miss the opportunity to pounce on her to conquer her. I can see that the lady likes you. A great thing. "
Just when the Kulash brothers humiliated each other for who should get Aloxia's heart, Hurva had already fallen into an unbearable torment.
Eryup did not relax the encirclement and suppression of Hurva because of the secret passage with the Duke of Zagreb. On the contrary, the governor of the occupied area launched more and more encirclement attacks against the resistance army in a more brutal way.
Eryup ordered a strict order to be issued to all villages. Anyone suspected of supporting Hurva will be severely punished, their house will be overthrown, the field will be confiscated, and the adult men in the family will be hanged or It is beheading, and minor children will be forced to be brutally trained in various Musselim training camps established in the occupied area.
This series of terrors really scared many people. In addition to their anger, the locals had to admit that the terrible Governor of Ottoman made them feel afraid.
Many people began to evade Hurva's Resistance Army. Although there are still people joining and supporting, Hurva has felt more intense pressure than before to make him almost suffocate.
In Zagreb, Allup, who had given so many terrible orders at once, didn't even think he was wrong.
"If Darius doesn't know each other, I will let him taste more suffering." Rarely feels a bit of leisure. Elup said this when he wrote to his brother. "I will persecute He had to do it according to my will, or he would either go out or get out of this land. "
Ayrep is not worried that such a letter will fall into the hands of others. He believes that even if the Sultan sees it, he will not notice any improper places in it, so he tells Afghanistan in a clear tone in the letter. Schulke, he hopes to get some benefits from his brother's mission, at least to keep him from being ashamed in front of the rich Sudan.
"I'm too poor, and the pursuit of wealth makes me feel scared, so help me, I will repay you, just as the Hadith of the Most Holy Says, 'Race to the rich? Has you been neglected ?, ?? Until you go to the graveyard ', although every time I think of this wise persuasion, I am ashamed of my superficiality, but a tough person is always difficult to grasp the true meaning of the Hadith as soon as possible, so in order to whip my soul , Please help me dear brother. "
After writing such a sentimental letter with splendidness, Elup deliberately or unintentionally revealed another message that he might be interested in.
"A friend you met in Rome, Earl Gombré of Montina, he is currently in Bucharest, but I believe he will not spend much time there, because as long as I clear that Darius, our cannon will It can be transported to the front line very smoothly, and then Bucharest ’s city walls will no longer be able to protect them,
Eryup wrote in his letter.
But the Count himself did not seem to realize this because I was actually in Zagreb saw some of the businessmen he supported doing business everywhere. Of course, in your face, I did not embarrass them, and even gave some necessary conveniences, but if you can write a letter to the count Advise him to leave as far as possible the city that may fall at any time, maybe even better. "
After cleverly writing all the words that should be said in the letter, Elup sent the letter out.
"What is that Darius doing now?"
Looking at the little starlight above his head, Elup fell into contemplation.
In fact, Eryup's heart is not as relaxed as he looks, and even anxiously secretly.
He knew that even if Prato was able to meet Hilva, it was not easy to gain trust, after all, their plan was too ridiculous.
If Bayesset II has come to an end now, maybe the Duke of Sagreb may believe that someone may find another way, but now no matter how you look at Sudan, it is the time when Eurasia is full of spirits, no one I would believe that someone would betray him at such a moment.
But Eryup knew that this was not the case.
Elup is a very generous person. He likes a luxurious life and is very generous to his friends, so even some close friends around Sudan can get generous gifts from him, and what he can get is that some others cannot. Know the news.
This let him know that Sudan's temper was a little grumpy recently, and even his favorite pet concubine was punished for a small fault.
The reason for Sudan ’s displeasure was not the attack on Bucharest.
Eryup's slightly dark but powerful fingers tapped on the slightly raised belly, and he knew why Sudan was like this.
But just because he knew the reason, Eryup became more urgent.
The sons of Sudan not only have grown into adulthood, but also have enough weight in their own hands. Among them, the two sons Ahmad and Selim, the most beloved sons of Sudan, are the strongest competitors of the throne of the future Sudan. .
Ayrep always believed that he was well-behaved. This was known to him many years ago when he was a teenager.
But even in this way, he has always been cautious, even if he has been favored by the Sudan, he dare not be negligent, because he knows what a very kind monarch looks to many people. The most daring people were frightened.
It's just that even the king of kings all over the world will inevitably face the final moment of life. Their bodies will gradually age, and eventually one day they will give up all the powerful powers they have in the world.
Eryup is the favorite of Bayesert II, which means that if he wants to gain the trust of Sudan, he has no reliance on it except Sudan, which is almost sixty years old.
Eryup knew that Ahmed and Selim would not regard him as their confidant, and the two princes are now desperately expanding their respective strengths in order to compete for the throne of the future.
"I hope that Darius is as clever as the legend, otherwise maybe everyone ’s life is not so good."
Allup thought to himself that he was willing to take such a big risk because of the clues he noticed in his brother Ashurk ’s letter, and once determined, Allup did n’t hesitate to completely complete his life. Throw in.
And Erup believes that his choice will not be wrong.
It was not difficult to get news about Bucharest, so the Kurash brothers, with little effort, inquired about something that made people happy and worried in the nearby town.
The Sudanese army launched an offensive against Bucharest on April 25. Then, for nearly a week, the Ottoman artillery bombarded the walls of Bucharest.
In this siege battle, which was first started by artillery, a lot of surprising things happened.
The most popular among them is the legendary confrontation between the Greek princess and the Ottoman Sultan.
According to some rumors, the Sultan of Bayestet II took his guard to the battlefield on the 26th, and it seemed to have an inexplicable sense, Princess Sophia Alexandra Valleolo Also climbed the city wall.
The last blood of the powerful Ottoman Sultan and the Eastern Roman Empire saw each other in this confrontation of the army, and what makes people more relish is that there is also a legend that the Sudan seems to be in the confrontation A proposal was made to Princess Valleolo for the marriage contract as a condition for avoiding charcoal.
When he heard this statement, the young Omo immediately refuted it. He felt that this rumor was completely nonsense, because no one party could accept such a result.
And Lakush seemed to regret a little gruntingly, "It would be good if it could be that way, at least we don't have to die on the battlefield."
However, as Omo said, the rumours on the edge did not cover up the blood in reality. During the whole week that followed, the Ottomans launched a fierce attack on Bucharest city again and again.
It was in these disturbing rumours that the Rakush brothers finally heard about the Earl of Montina.
But what they did n’t think of was that what they heard was not the feat of how the Earl fought against the invasion of the pagan army, but something that sounded unbelievable.
On the day of May 2, 1499, the refreshing breeze of the early summer morning did not cover up the lingering smell that fluttered around the city of Bucharest. Bucharest had been besieged for a week in a row. So calm and serene.
The Ottoman camp in the distance was quiet, and the Ottoman army did not attack as usual.
There was a faint voice of prayer, and there was an indescribable tranquility in the Ottoman camp.
The solemn Ramadan ceremony is being held in the Ottoman Barracks. In a few days, the most important preparations for the month before Ramadan will be ushered in. This is also the first time Bayesert II has not been in Constantine since he became king. Tinburg greets the grand Ramadan ceremony.
To this end, while closely monitoring the direction of Bucharest and guarding against possible attacks by the enemy, the Ottoman army began to prepare in preparation for the upcoming May Ramadan.
Despite being on the battlefield, the Ottomans made the best preparations for this important moment.
All the Ottoman army stopped the attack. The generals ordered the soldiers to pray to the pagans in the city instead of arrows and shells. The Sultan himself wore a white robe and put on a wrapper. The cloth of spices walked barefoot in the barracks.
The soldiers who saw the figure of Sudan all knelt down, and a deep prayer made the whole barracks solemn and solemn.
At this moment, the killing is no longer, the secular world is no longer, only piety.
However, it was at this time that something happened that made both the Ottomans and the Balkans in Bucharest dumbfounded.
The Bukul fortress, which has always bravely resisted the Ottoman army, is undoubtedly a proud symbol of Bucharest ~ EbookFREE.me ~ because this prominent fortress has repeatedly repelled the Ottoman attack.
And the master of that army, Count Alexandra Juliant Gumbre, also became a well-known hero.
Many Bucharest people even believe that Bucharest will not be in danger as long as the triangular coat of arms on the Bukur fortress is still flying.
But it was such a hero who had been given high hopes by the Bucharest, and suddenly on May 2nd he walked out of the Bukul fortress with only one entourage.
Then when the soldiers of both sides sent scouts to understand the intention of the count, Alexandre Juliant Gumbre of Montina came to the front of the Ottoman barracks, and then he publicly announced that World Sultan challenges!
The reason he gave made everyone stunned.
"Sultan insulted my wife, Sophia Alexandra Valleo. So I want to challenge him ~" Alexander said.
