Vol 5 Chapter 114: The Great Siege (27)

Sophia was lying on the bed, her two slender legs cocked upwards, and because of the force, her slightly dark arch was tightly stretched, and her feet showed two deep sockets inward.
She was kicking her two legs back and forth at this time while watching the big book in front of her with relish.
The outer shell of this book is covered with a thick layer of gold foil, and the cover of the spine is made of silk, which feels smooth but slightly greasy.
This book is not only large but also thick, so Sophia started to hold it in her hand, and then she simply lay down on the bed and looked at it.
Sophia does n’t like reading, even the people in the Prague court know it. For this queen, she once complained to Nashan more than once. In the eyes of the queen, a noble lady is always related to elegant manners and profound knowledge. Or even without these two specialties, you should have at least a good temper.
But Sophia obviously didn't have all these things. Except for a bad temper that seemed to be unchangeable, more importantly, she could indeed be described as "no learning, no skill".
Sophia's understanding of the vocabulary could not help her write a fair letter on her own. As for poetry, she was not even competent.
But Sophia never thought it was a big deal.
Although it is a regrettable shortcoming to speak, Sophia never worries about it. As far as knowledge is concerned, she feels that she was born more powerful than other women or most men that day. The most important thing is, for example, she has started to think about how to let those women know that they know how powerful they are if they meet those women who hate her.
The reason why Sophia suddenly became interested in the book was because it was actually a picture book.
The picture book is full of exquisite portraits, and the styles of the clothes on the women in the paintings that Sophia is interested in.
Sophia, almost 15 years old.
She is no longer the sloppy and careless little girl, or the little girl who can make a big smile with just a set of armor made according to someone else's style.
She began to pay attention to what patterns the ladies' headdresses had, and even more attention to how the colorful skirts of different styles could better set off her good figure, which was enough to defy most women.
Especially when the Patriarch of Bucharest announced a blessing to her marriage to Alexander, Sophia paid more attention to the women.
This book has actually been on the shelf in the living room outside her bedroom for a long time, but it has only recently attracted her attention, precisely after Alexander arrived in Bucharest.
The sound of the door opening gently attracted Sophia's attention, and she turned back slightly to see Alexander standing at the door and looking at her.
Since coming to Bucharest, Alexander actually has not spent much time alone with Sophia. Although they often meet, they are always disturbed by people like this. Now this opportunity is rare, but when he walked into the room, Alexander looked Sophia's back was slightly dazed.
Because the whole body was completely buried in the soft bed, Sophia's back was lifted slightly because of her arms, so her body formed a deep arc like an inverted arch bridge.
The deepest part of the arc is on her waistline, and the deep waist makes her look so thin, which makes Alexander's body secretly wondering, how can such a thin waist burst when it twists A lot of strength, or how can it support the chest that is much more majestic than other women.
And the two high points of the arc, one of them is her shoulders, and the other is the sturdy and full but powerful buttocks that are upturned.
This is what has always puzzled Alexander. He wonders how Sophia ’s age-defying proud body came from. Compared with Zuosha, Lucrezia or Barendi, it is really far in this respect. To be left behind by Sophia who is younger than them.
Seeing Alexandria, Sophia smiled, and she did not know that "the evidence of the doctrine in the doctrine was used as a testimony to announce a violation of the doctrine that was not recognized, but also through the doctrine in the doctrine, announced the blessing What does the meaning of "the existence of a marriage contract" mean, in fact, most people don't understand what this sounds like very eloquent interpretation of what it means.
Sophia only knew that her marriage was blessed, which made her very happy, because even among the gypsies, there are rumors that marriage that is not blessed by elders or tribal leaders is destined to be unfortunate.
But Alexander knew the true meaning of this statement, and he could not help admiring the Patriarch Bucharest heartily. He was able to find such a compromise that could be compromised between the two factions after a series of quarrels and never giving in Can say everything.
"Doctrine is not recognized, but it can give the same blessings as a legal marriage." This is the compromise interpretation that the patriarch came up with after careful consideration. The key to this interpretation is whether it is recognition of legitimacy or existence. The greatest degree of ambiguity was given.
When he heard this statement, Alexander only wanted to use the "old slippery head" to praise the patriarch's profound and wise understanding of the doctrine.
And this is also a statement that Ladislas II had to accept even though he was unwilling.
Alexander walked to the bed and looked at Sophia with his back to his back, still kicking his feet back and forth, and then he suddenly reached out and grabbed the two little feet that could not swing, and followed Sophia's throat with a slightly weird smile Sound, Alexander pulled a little hard to bring her body in front of herself, and then sat down and put her on her lap.
"Listening to Sophia, we just got the news from Zepez," seeing Sophia always holding the big book tightly, Alexander's arms used some strength, and the two people were clinging to the book through the book. Together, Sophia soon had to put down the book because her already cumbersome chest was squeezed out of breath, "The army of Cepes is on the other side of the Dembwica River."
Sophia showed a curious look. She looked at Alexander slightly and tilted her head, but did not make a sound, obviously waiting for him to continue.
"Zepez attacked the Ottomans who attacked the opposite city. He did this as if he had disrupted the Ottomans' plans, because since this morning, the Ottomans have stopped attacking the city."
There was a smile on Sophia's face, and she nodded, seeming to be pleased by the good news, and then she stooped and picked up the big book from the side and lifted it to Alexander.
"Why, what do you want?" Alexander wouldn't think that Sophia had so much learning to be motivated, so when he saw one of the paintings in which a woman looked rather gorgeous in a dress, he couldn't help but sigh Sophia also started to like beauty The age of the clothes is "Sophia, you are a big girl."
When he said this, Alexander felt a palpitation in his heart. From the beginning, he and Sophia may only share troubles, and then they were dependent on each other. Later, Alexander admitted that he could no longer treat Sophia as a child.
But now is clearly not the time to talk about love, although according to the patriarch's statement, they are already unrecognized couples who have been blessed by the church, but he did not come this time to kiss me and Sophia.
"Sophia, I want you to give the Greeks an order to support Zeppes." Alexander said to Sophia. "You can ask Gilas to take the news with them. The Greeks supported us in our marriage. Now it's our return. It's time for them. "
Sophia nodded inexplicably. She knew that Alexandria was doing very important things, and the Greeks obviously also played a very important role in it.
The result of the controversy over the Greek princess' marriage contract was that the contradictions within the alliance that had been concealed by the Ottoman persecution were revealed.
The Balkan aristocrats who gathered in Bucharest for the purpose of using Sophia firmly opposed the marriage contract, and they could hear it clearly even outside the venue, and there were not many people who also expressed support for various reasons.
Especially those in exile in Greece, they also know that Sophia ’s situation is not optimistic. Without a strong supporter, Sophia is likely to become a of the nobles, regardless of the blood of the Roman Empire. The loyalty of the descendants is still in their own interests, and the Greek exiles cannot allow this to happen.
Zepez, who was originally the Grand Duke of Wallachia, was a good candidate, but soon they found that Zepez himself seemed insurable.
So when Alexander appeared, from the beginning to wait and see with caution, and finally to make a decision, the Greek relics and relics had also undergone some repeated consideration.
"Cepez is on the other side of the river," Gilas, who was ordered from Sophia, was a little confused about Alexander's suggestion. "Count, do you really think the Ottomans will attack Bucharest from the river?"
"It ’s just a speculation, but I do n’t believe that the Ottomans spent so much effort just to let an army cross the Dembrica River to attack the opposite city. Although there is indeed a weak defense in the entire city, but yes For the Ottomans, the terrain there is also very unfavorable. After all, it is too far away from the main force of the Ottomans. We only need to mobilize troops from the city to concentrate on the strength of the inside to defeat them. "
While explaining to Galas, Alexander shook his head secretly. He knew that it was a bit alarmist to propose that the Ottomans would burst into the city directly from the river. If there were such concerns before, as the Ottoman army crossed the Demwica River Launching an attack on the opposite city, many people began to think that the Ottomans had heard that Bucharest had strengthened the defense on the river channel, so they consciously could not invade the city from the river, so they attacked the relatively weak defense of the east bank.
For this reason, the defenders and the Greeks who once defended the Pletvi fortress were greeted by heroes, because it was precisely because of the perseverance of the Pletvi fortress that they had gained more time to strengthen the river defense.
However, Alexander knew that the Ottomans would attack from the river. They would first break through the obstacles set in the channel, and then destroy the barricade gates used to defend foreign enemies, and then the Ottomans would swarm in from the river.
And now the Ottomans attacked the east coast city, in order to solve the threat from the side of the Dembrica as soon as possible when breaking through the river channel, so as to prepare for more troops to enter the city from the river.
The reason why he can be so sure is that Bucharest in history is so captured.
On May 7, this day was not a good day for Xi Sugu.
According to the order of the Sudan, Sisu Valley launched a fierce attack on the Bukul Fort. Sisu Valley did not believe that this was Sudan ’s unreasonable retaliation against the Earl of Montina, but that the Sudan tried to destroy the Bukul Fort by destroying it. The symbol of resistance made Bucharest understand the end of the rebellion, so Xi Sugu was ready to order the slaughter of everyone in the light once the fortress was captured.
But what he didn't expect was that Zepez, who had lost his trace when he made the siege of Dembrica, would suddenly descend south from the upper reaches of the river.
The Ottoman army previously sent to attack the east coast city was hit by an unexpected attack. When the figure of the Wallachia cavalry appeared, the unprepared Ottomans were defeated by Cepes who did not have much strength.
Even the retreat Ottomans were almost rushed directly off the river. One of them hurriedly crossed the Dembrica to the opposite bank, while the other had to retreat south along the east bank of the river.
To make matters worse, although only separated by a river, Zeppes could only watch the Wallachia fight the Ottoman army across the river.
After the news reached Bayesert II, the Sudan immediately ordered the remaining troops across the river to continue crossing the river. At the same time, he ordered the Sisu Valley to suspend the attack on the Bukul fort, and then sent troops to cross the river again. According to the Sudan, Do everything in your power to help the army across the river strike Xi Sugu.
Cepes did not know that his actions had unintentionally disrupted the plan of the Sudan. After several days of fierce fighting, he finally got rid of the Ottomans ’pursuit. Then, after crossing Demwica from the upstream, his army went directly When appearing behind the Ottomans who besieged the opposite city, Sisu Valley seemed to see Bucharest's savior's glory beckoning to him.
He ordered the attack without hesitation, and his near-unimaginable victory made him more firm in his belief that he was the real master of the city.
He decided to annihilate the Ottomans on the east bank of the river, but it was not long after he took the Wallachian cavalry to pursue the remaining enemies, but received help from the infantry.
Xi Sugu stopped his continued attack on Fort Bukur ~ EbookFREE.me ~ After converging with the troops on the east bank crossing the river, he began to attack the infantry of the Cepes army.
Facing the fierce Xi Sugu, Zeppes could only give up the idea of ​​annihilating the enemy. He quickly adjusted his deployment to meet the new enemy.
It was at this time that the Greeks led by Bodped arrived.
But Bodped's advice to Alexandre Zeppes made him somewhat unacceptable.
"Retreat to the east, don't fight against the Ottomans easily, everything awaits Lord Earl's news."
Cepes wanted to reject this suggestion, but when he saw the army of Xi Sugu, he had to withdraw to the east, but he didn't understand what Alexander said.
Soon, with the bad news, Bucharest fell into a daze again.
On May 8th, the Bosnian army and the Hungarian defenders fought fiercely on the outskirts of Sosborg. After paying a heavy price and the death of the general, the Sosborg garrison finally lost the enemy and was forced to retreat. He ’s road is unimpeded.
