Vol 6 Chapter 131: Dawn is coming

The French eventually occupied a very important town between Alexandria and Milan, and then cut off the retreat of the Austrian army in one fell swoop.
Although the road to Turin, which is also the rear, is still clear, this is a huge threat to the Austrian army, because Turin was originally behind the temporary relocation of the Austrian army retreating from Switzerland. The supply is not enough for the 50000 army. More supply still needs to come from Austria. Then Milan became the supplementary base of the Austrian army. Now the French cut off the road to Milan. In addition to the existing food in Alexandria, the Austrians It is likely to be hungry.
This is a terrible thing for an army of tens of thousands of people, especially the thousands of Swiss. If they do not have pay, they may run away at any time. What ’s worse is hearing this news, Louis XII. It may not be possible to buy them with a high salary. After all, these Swiss have just gone out of Austrian independence, and it seems not so difficult to buy them.
Also this winter, the two sides fought a fierce battle in the icy northern Italy. This is a very rare war. The two sides marched hard in the snowy days, confusedly looking for enemies in the white world, Then he held the cold weapon with almost frozen fingers, and sprayed mist in his mouth towards the enemy.
In such weather, it is often difficult to take every step. The cold armor is very uncomfortable on the skin. The cold wind pouring into the gap of the armor will make people feel as if the bones are frozen, and the blood will soon be discharged Freezing and freezing, this is a hard fight that neither side actually wants to fight, but they have to fight.
Louis XII hoped to defeat Maximilian I before the armistice agreement with Montina expired, at least to make the situation more favorable for himself, to rush the emperor further north, and if possible to expel Italy temporarily, This is the best result that the French King believes in his heart. As for the next possible conflict with the Montina, the French King feels that it will be much easier.
According to Louis XII ’s estimate, even with the addition of the Pisa and Naples troops, the total strength of the Montina army should not exceed 15,000, which can be said to be the maximum strength of Alexander ’s shots, even in this case Only need to consider the French attack from the land, but still need to leave a sufficient amount of defense.
If the Montina people joined the battle, Louis XII still had some concerns. The Montina army impressed him a lot. He only thought of using twice the strength of the opponent to defeat his opponent and he had to pay heavy casualties. Louis XII felt that this enemy was really difficult.
So what he needs to do now is to defeat the emperor first before the armistice agreement expires.
The winter battle in Northern Italy began in mid-December, and a fierce battle was completely beyond the imagination of many people. People did not expect the French to change the aristocratic and decent style of behavior in the past, but to take the war like a mob To the barbaric and world they have never experienced before.
When the enemy retreated, the French uncharacteristically did not display their honor in the traditional way of proclaiming victory on the battlefield for a long time, but instead pursued along the way, and in this icy snow, their knights also had to Abandoning the proud line-up charge, but forming a small team desperate to hunt down all the enemies from the nobles to the knights, from the officers to the husband on the battlefield.
The Austrians finally could not bear the French man who had completely abandoned the honor-like crazy play. Originally prepared to drive out the French army, the Austrians who had opened the road to Milan had to retreat to Alexandria. They tried to use the city ’s Strong city defenses resist.
But Maximian I saw the dangers in it. Alexandria could not provide so many Austrians with supplies. If he retreated to Alexandria, then he would be under siege like Charles VIII. After the whole army collapsed.
After some consideration, the emperor finally made a decision to withdraw his troops from Turin.
Although the supply of Turin reserves is still very tight, it is undoubtedly the only option now.
Just when the Austrian army decided to withdraw from Turin, Alexander received a letter from Montina.
In the letter, Barendi stated to him what had happened in Montina since this time. In addition to some of the content of the correspondence between the two people, she also had her views on the situation in Northern Italy.
The letter was written formally, and the line between the lines was completely in line with the courtesy and wisdom a noble woman deserves, but Alexander still noticed from it that Barenti wanted him to return to Montina as soon as possible.
"I know you can't get back before Christmas, but although I still hope you can host the New Year Mass in Montina, this is very important to all of us, especially at this time, everyone in the territory All want to see the lord with them. "
This letter moved Alexander's heart. He knew how difficult this time was for Barendi, especially after the family's near-betrayal and the initial setback of the Montina army. The pressure on her It must be huge.
And Barenti's words are indeed good. At this time, she should be with her, because the series of changes that will happen next is the most testing person.
The absence of the winter truce in 1499 caused the French and Austrian troops to be involved in more wars than ever in history. What will happen next, even if Alexander does not know, so he ca n’t give Valenti in Montina provides any clues and help, everything needs to be adaptable.
History has been undergoing greater and greater changes, and it is no longer a few city-states involved, but the most powerful countries on the European continent.
This is certainly not something Barendi can deal with. Alexander felt that although she did not express it in the letter, she was fully aware of the uneasiness.
"It seems I have to go back to Montina." Alexander sat opposite, just looked at him in silence and said, "You already know what we are going to do next, so I can wait for your good news."
Ruosha just looked at him silently, and after a while he suddenly said, "Do you like your wife very much?"
Alexander froze for a while, and then gave a helpless smile: "Don't you forget that not long ago you said that you think Balendi is best for my wife?"
"But I don't think she's fit now, it's very unsuitable," Zuosha deliberately emphasized and looked back out of the window, the weather outside became gloomy again, the wind was very strong, and you can listen even though the window To the roaring wind, "Are you going to go by boat?"
"It's too much time on land," Alexander also saw the weather outside. "I'm going to return to Montina before the expiration of the armistice agreement with Louis XII. Next," said Alexander, who walked to Lusha and bent down to let The two of them touched their foreheads together. "We are going to do something that makes everyone incredible."
Zuo Sha removed her head and extended a finger to gently poke down Alexander's forehead, letting him stay away from him, and staring at his eyes brightly.
"Not that letter, right?"
"what?"
"I mean you didn't leave because of Balendi's letter. Are you ready to return to Montina?"
In response to Ruosha's inquiring eyes, Alexander nodded gently: "You know I have to go back. What happened now cannot be resolved by Barenti, especially what I will do next is not what she can do, so I have to face the situation in person. "
Ruo Sha's fine eyebrows lightly raised, this is a small action she would make when she seemed to have any doubts in her heart. Seeing her like this, Alexander couldn't help but gently nudge her forehead with her fingertips: Do n’t frown, it ’s easy to wrinkle.

"I'm only 20 years old," Ruo Sha raised her eyebrows again, but this time it seemed to be because she was unhappy. "I think you must have some conspiracy."
"You just said your brother," conspiracy "?" Alexander asked with a smile.
"A brother who wants his sister to have a baby for him?"
After speaking, Ruosha looked at him with a smile.
This made Alexander feel that he seemed to be a traitor. He raised his hand and touched the tip of his nose. He just wanted to distinguish himself from this very medieval behavior. Ruosha had already learned what he was like. His collar made him lower his head, and then whispered against his forehead with his white and tender forehead: "Tell my brother what you want to do, maybe I can help you."
Alexander thought for a while, although he felt that his idea might be too bold and he was taking risks, so he did n’t tell Ruosha in advance, but it does n’t matter now, these thoughts, Alexander sideways whispered in Ruosha ’s ear Said a word that surprised her: "Milan."
For a little while, Ruo Sha seemed not to react, but just glanced at Alexander calmly, and then her eyes gradually became sharper. She stared at Alexander's eyes carefully, as if she wanted to know if he was kidding After finally confirming that he was serious, Ruosha didn't show much surprise and surprise. Instead, her smooth and delicate shoulders dropped slightly, and then she exhaled gently.
"It turns out that this is what you have been thinking about," Ruosha slightly tilted her pretty blond head with a blond hair, and then slowly smiled at the corner of her mouth. "This is the real purpose of you to challenge the war between Louis and the emperor. Have you wanted to capture Milan already? "
Alexander thought for a while and then nodded. He felt that this was the best excuse to give Ruo Sha. After all, Ruo Sha was still upset about the large sum of money he asked for.
After all, the Little Ice Age, the British, and that beautiful Philip, these are really not justified reasons to ask for money from my sister.
Ruosha is obviously not stingy with her brother, not to mention the more distant things Alexander described to her, just an Antwerp is enough to make her willing to invest a lot of money.
Perhaps it was under the influence of Alexander, or there was a heart in the body that was reluctant to be plain, and Ruosha was deeply infatuated with this passionate life that would make her never calm down again.
Naples is hers and him today, but this can no longer satisfy her. She is eager to do more exciting things with Alexander, or she is eager to one day be able to stand openly without caring about the world ’s vision Beside him, accompanied him to the moment of dawn that he said.
"Tell me Alexander, what on earth do you want?"
Ruosha whispered in Alexander's ear with a low voice.
Looking at Ruosha's dim eyes, Alexander felt a ripple in his heart.
He held Ruosha's face in his hands, and his eyes were deeply injected into the deep blue eyes of Ruosha like the sea: "You know, this world is very big, so much bigger than you can imagine, In faraway places, there is a wider land than Europe, and I always want to go to those places. There we can get enough wealth to make everyone jealous, and we can have the fertility that even the largest country can covet. Land, but if you are not around for me, even if I get all of this, it is meaningless. "
"Then let me go with you," Zuo Sha reached out and hugged Alexander gently, put his head on his shoulder and looked out of the field, and at the same time said with a dreamlike whisper, "Promise my brother, no matter how much Will you go with me far away? "
"I promise you."
Alexander also embraced Ruosha's waist, and at this moment his heart was very calm, which was different from being with other women.
It was spoiled when I was with Sophia, because the Bohemian girl was going to be a mother even if she was a mother, but she was still a willful and grumpy child.
And Lucrecia is a near-irrational passion that no one can tell. In Alexander's memory, the two people are always intimate when they are together, the kind of seems to tear the other side and themselves into pieces And then the madness of being one even surprised Alexander himself.
But Barendi, it seems that the two are more responsible. Marriage is the responsibility, and the maintenance of the family is the responsibility. Even when the most intimate way of suing each other, it also includes the meaning of performing the responsibility.
But Ruo Sha, his closest "sister", is more because Alexander feels that he has a tacit understanding that others have not only become his beloved person, but also his precious partner.
"Do you want Antwerp?" Zuosha looked at Alexander interestingly at that moment, and when he nodded, he asked again, "But do you still want Milan?"
"I really need that city," Alexander thought about it, and when he saw Rusha's doubts, he explained "Sometimes there are many explanations, and Milan is really important to me."
Luo Sha thought a little puzzled, and then decided not to delve into the difference.
"Then I will help you and tell me what to do?"
Seeing how Rusha calmed down, Alexander sat back in his chair and said to her equally earnestly: "Listen, I have decided to take action against Northern Italy after returning to Montina. I did this by In order to make the battle between Louis and the Emperor more intense, I believe this is necessary, so although this may cause some trouble for Naples, I believe I am worth it. "
"I believe you," Ruosha replied very succinctly. Her expression looked so casual, which was completely different from when she was in front of the ministers. Then she slightly pursed her lips and looked at it with a strange expression with a faint smile Alexander "In this case, tell me what do you use to reward me?"
Looking at Ruosha's expression, Alexander was a little dazed, and then whispered, "A prince, and a crown."
On December 23rd, one morning on Christmas day, just as the day turned bright, Alexander had brought a 100-member hunting guard to the port.
A large sea boat is ready to sail at any time.
Ruosha didn't disturb the others, and took only a few attendants to see off Alexander on the pier.
In the icy sea breeze, Ruo Sha's hair fluttered in the wind, and in the distance, the morning light gradually rising from the horizon, her hair covered with blonde hair shimmered.
"Trust me, Uncle Modillo is fine," Alexander said to Zuosha. "If I am not wrong, maybe he still enjoys the life of a hermit like today."
Before leaving Sicily, Alexander asked Osborne to continue to look for Count Modillo, but according to the news from Osborne, Alexander had a feeling that the Count did not seem to want to appear in front of them so quickly.
"Actually, I'm more worried about you," Ruo Sha reached out and hugged lower Alexander, and then said in his ear a voice that only two people could hear. "Don't forget that you promised me, give me a prince."
With that, Ruosha pushed back Alexander a few steps and said aloud, "Don't forget your promise, I will wait for you in the palace and wait for you to give me a crown that matches my identity!"
Alexander looked at Ruosha silently, then flicked away his cloak and raised his hand to salute her deeply.
On December 23, the Earl of Montina led the Guard to the ship.
On December 24, the Earl's team landed in Pisa.
On December 26, the Earl, who spent two days in Pisa, led the Hunting Guards to Fort Montina.
On the same day, the French army defeated the Austrian army in Mede, northeast of Alexandria, forcing the Austrian army to withdraw from Mede.
The next day, on December 27, the French army commander Count Langserge defeated the Austrian Turin Ministry commanded by the Austrian Palace Minister Kotschah who tried to get in touch with Milan for the second time in Mede, and then Langserge Earl Earl ordered the French army under the command of Earl de Bowenken of Provence to launch a counterattack against the main force of the Austrian army under the command of the emperor ~ EbookFREE.me ~ The nobles of Montina held a grand banquet in the castle for the triumph of the count.
This was indeed a triumphant triumph. After Alexander came back from Bucharest, although everyone was praising the hero who defeated the Sultan of Ottoman, the Balkans were too far after all. Experience the tremendous shock brought by that victory.
But when he went to Rome, and then to Naples, and then even ventured to Sicily, the changes that took place really shocked too many people.
As Barendi said when he finally came to be alone, "You now have a Principality, but unfortunately you don't have a crown of Duke."
"Yes," Alexander replied with a chuckle to Barendi's regret: "Trust me Barendi, the Duchess sounds expensive, but this does not bring out your identity."
On December 30th, unexpectedly, Alexander, who had just returned to the territory, stayed at home for only 2 days, and left the Fort Montina again.
This time he led the first Balkan regiment, and the newly formed Balkan third regiment recruited from Wallachia, who had trained for nearly half a year, and the Agri Musketeers who stayed in Montina, a total of 3,700 people, westward March.
On December 31, Montina reinforcements met with the Northern Army under the command of Gompati in La Speyer.
In the early morning of January 1, 1500, under the leadership of Alexandria, the army of Montina crossed the natural border between Romagna and Lombardy, Maggiolas, and entered Lombardy!
