Conquer the Dawn of Heaven

v2 Chapter 93: Conditions and temptation

Uliu returned to the camp the next morning, and there was an old man who appeared to be in his 50s.

When Uliu reported that this man was the housekeeper of the Viscount Gronob, Alexander had already understood the intention of this man.

Sure enough, the Viscount's housekeeper came to discuss the owner's ransom.

The ransom of 10,000 Florin gold coins proposed by Joanna was obviously impossible. Alexander knew that neither the Viscount himself nor his soldiers would pay such a sum of money for ransom.

This is not a really crucial battle, and the Viscount is not as important as he boasted, even though the Gronob family may have been glorious in their early years, but now look at him, it should not be too many Charlie One of the French nobles.

If it is really a big man, this time it must have already returned to France with Charlie, or it should be in Rome, not in a place like the Bruini Valley.

"My master needs to be taken care of," the steward immediately asked after seeing the Viscount. "Don't you see that he has got a fever, why don't you bleed blood for him, is this to kill him, if my master If you die, you will not only get a Florin, but you will become the enemy of the entire Gronob family. "

He said that the old housekeeper pulled out from his waist with all his needs and took a knife to cut the meat, and he would make a gesture on the wrist of the owner lying on the blanket. A large ransom is left for a heir to Gronob.

Alexander looked at him a little speechlessly and stared at him angrily. He regarded him as a steward of the enemy. It was really a bit unclear whether he was going to save his master or take the opportunity to click him off.

Bloodletting, a method that has been handed down since ancient times, is still used to treat many diseases even after two centuries. However, how many people can be saved by this method depends entirely on the patient ’s own Luck.

Bleeding for fever, bleeding for colds, and even a lot of diseases that can't be beaten by the eight poles must be solved by bleeding. In the eyes of people, it seems that the existence of blood is the source of all diseases. It can't stop flowing out in order to drive away the terrible disease.

This is happening even in Alexander ’s own camp.

Although Alexander had ordered people to boil water and find available cloths to soak and sterilize, and ordered to take out all the alcoholic beverages, the wounded can still receive very little treatment.

This forced him to find those Bohemians, and after they promised to give them more loot, they collected all the wine from them.

Burn the cracked wound with a hot knife, try to wipe the muddy body with a hand towel soaked in hot water, Alexander ordered that the injured must be kept as clean as possible.

Although his order seemed a little unknown to many people, it was conquered by his unexpected toughness, so that when an otherwise brave soldier covered a wounded companion with a dirty blanket Immediately after being discovered, he was hit with a whip.

"I don't ask you to make the wounded as comfortable as living in a castle, but if they are killed because of dirty and negligence, this is what I can't allow."

Alexander tirelessly explained this to everyone, he also knew that it would not help, or that at this time, there was no way to help more, but he still could not tolerate the kind of giving up because of ignorance. The act of human life.

And for Alexander, the wounded were not a burden or burden to him, but an inestimable treasure.

In an era of warfare, experienced soldiers are a fortune, and many recruits who have just entered the battlefield often lose their lives before they become experienced veterans.

In this way, having an army of soldiers with most combat experience has become the luxury of all monarchs and generals.

The generals always hope to have a brave army that will not easily collapse due to panic, and the victory of many battles is not so much how many enemies are killed on the battlefield, but is gradually realized in the pursuit after defeating the opponent of.

Whether or not the opponent can be defeated as soon as possible often depends on which side of the soldiers on both sides can persevere when facing the enemy.

Alexander did not believe in the bravery of the so-called young impulse. From the performance of the Agri in the first fight, he knew better that he was right.

The **** courage at the beginning often disappeared at the moment of the terrible killing, and even the more desperately eager to build a career on the battlefield, when they saw that they were only insignificant in this killing, and could be killed by people at any time The disillusionment of that kind of fantasy will lead to their collapse.

It is the so-called only those who have not experienced war will praise the war.

So Alexander decided to keep the lives of the wounded as much as possible. For these soldiers who have experienced blood and fire, although they are still not veterans, at least these people already know what the real battlefield looks like.

"Don't be stingy with money," Alexander told Uliu, who was eating while resting. "Find the queen's followers, buy more cloth and satin from them and cook in hot water. Make sure everyone uses clean The cloth wraps the wound, and there is clean food and water. "

"You can rest assured, Master," the Moors took the soup and dropped the plate to stand up. "I will do it, but what are you going to do with the Viscount?"

"I still decided to let him go, and I won't ask him for too much ransom."

Alexander ’s words surprised the Moors. He originally thought that the master would strike **** the Frenchman, but now it seems that this is not the case.

When Alexander came to the temporary tent set up for the Viscount Gronob, he was seeing that his butler was sitting next to his master and could n’t stop talking, although they spoke French, but from time to time he could say “Gumbre” With this name, Alexander could also guess that he was complaining about himself.

The Viscount's face was still not good. He groaned with pain every time he breathed. The sweat on his face was still a lot, and the blush did not disappear. When the housekeeper said non-stop, he even slept sleepily.

But when he heard the sound, he opened his eyes again and saw Alexander, his lips moved but there was no sound.

Although the Viscount was not in good condition, Alexander did not pity the captive, not to mention that the battle was originally brought by him. The most important thing was that Alexander felt that he had suffered a lot.

His phalanx was even a prototype, and the Agri did n’t even realize the process of becoming a soldier, and he had to face the suddenly Frenchman. This made Alexander think back now, and even wondered how he was. Lucky survived.

If Carlo ’s return came later, if the support of the Bohemians was a little slow, or if the Aggris who faced the French infantry collapsed more thoroughly, perhaps it was Alexander who was lying on this blanket Myself.

Or even worse, his second life was ruined in this valley.

"You have to pay a ransom for yourself," Alexander did not want to waste time, he has too many things to do now. "But because I need to continue to hurry, I can't take you until your family in Gronob send you Come to ransom and release you again, so I will put forward other conditions now. "

The Viscount looked up at Alexander because he was a little groggy because of the inflammation, but he nodded as much as possible: "You say, I will honor the credit of dignity as a noble."

"Let your army in the Bruini Valley make way for us, and use your horses and equipment as compensation for us."

"Are you going to disarm my cavalry?" The Viscount suddenly became excited. He wanted to get up from the blanket without strength. "This is impossible. I can't accept it."

"If that were the case, I would only allow the Bohemians to attack your camp," Alexander said expressionlessly. "Maybe you think the Bohemians ca n’t take down your camp, but they can continue to harass. , And can cut your way out, I already know that you will come out from the camp because your food is not much, I believe that as long as I do not live harassment, you will always have a day of food, and I have some food can wait until Your people can't persevere. "

Viscount Gronob panted gaspingly and looked down at his indifferent staring at Alexander, but he didn't know what to say except for a constant gasp.

The Viscount knew that Alexander had indeed grasped his weaknesses, and even stuck his death.

Although the Allied forces did not attack the city of Rome, they bite Charlie ’s main force and rushed into Northern Italy desperately. Even that kind of momentum was a little bit to continue all the way to the west, directly crossing Piedmont to enter the French mainland. The French nearby did not relax at all.

In order to prevent the Roman French from attacking from behind, the coalition forces left a considerable number of troops to monitor the French army in Rome.

What annoys the French most is that the Romans also seem to have become less honest.

When Charlie marched into Milan in one fell swoop, and then directed at Florence, all the monarchs on the Apennine peninsula were frightened by the French terrible. At that time, almost all city-state lords were honest.

When Charlie entered Rome and took the crown of Naples from the vengeful Alexander VI, hardly anyone believed he could defeat this terrible enemy.

But Charlie eventually lost. He was defeated by a coalition composed of many countries. Finally, he had to abandon his army and fled to France alone. In this way, the days of those troops that he threw down will not be easy.

No one was willing to provide supplies to the French, and even many nobles who had a good relationship with the French had become ambiguous.

Of course the French are not hungry, but if they are under siege it is another matter.

In particular, French troops, such as the Viscount Gronob, guarding the periphery of Rome, if their camps are under siege, they will soon be in danger of breaking food.

Especially after seeing the power of the Bohemian cavalry, the Viscount can hardly imagine how to deal with the cavalry even in the camp.

The Bohemians can use constant harassment to bring down the French cavalry and then come back when they are exhausted.

And what if their army directly attacked these Neapolitan convoys?

This thought disappeared only after a flash in the Viscount's mind, not to mention that he is not here now, whether the army can be sent in the camp to do so. Don't do such stupid things.

"Can you put forward other conditions? I can't accept this. I am willing to pay more for me and my soldiers." The Viscount asked in a low voice. He felt that his chest was a little blocked, not only because of the injury but also because of Alexander Conditions proposed.

If you only ask for a ransom, the Viscount can still accept it despite some humiliation.

But Alexander wanted all the horse equipment of the French cavalry, which made the Viscount feel great humiliation.

And he was very clear that if he had agreed to this condition, he would have lost his face even if he was released, which is why he could not accept it.

Alexander nodded lightly. Of course he knew that this condition was indeed too harsh, but he still raised it for a reason.

The bravery of the French cavalry gave him a deep impression. Although he was expelled by the Bohemians, it does not mean that the French cavalry will not work.

On the contrary, as long as you think about the Bohemian cavalry with more than a hundred people, it only drove more than 20 French cavalry out of the battlefield, but failed to do a heavy blow, let alone annihilation, you can see how powerful the French cavalry is.

It can be said that in this era, not many troops have been able to confront the French cavalry.

This not only caused Alexander to have a strong interest in forming cavalry, but also began to have some ideas.

The cost of building a cavalry is amazing. It takes more time and effort to raise enough horse equipment, and Alexander feels that he does not have so much time to go about this.

Now that there is such a good opportunity, Alexander feels that he cannot give up easily.

Using French equipment to form your own cavalry, UU reading www.uukanshu.com is very cost-effective.

In addition, Alexander knew that the team he led seemed to grow, but in fact it was empty.

If you want to enter Rome, you have to pass through the French camp in the Bruini Valley. If the French suddenly attack at this time, what awaits him is a disaster.

And a French army disarmed with cavalry has far fewer threats.

"My conditions are these," Alexander whispered. "If you find it unacceptable, I can provide you with an opportunity to protect your dignity."

"What are you talking about?" The Viscount's eyes widened. Although he didn't think the Neapolitan would make any good suggestions, he listened carefully with his breath, even if it made him feel another pain.

"Aren't you lacking food?" The pressure mountain voice was very low. It sounded like a tempting devil. "I can provide enough food for your people, but it requires you to buy it with money." Find this site Please search for "" or enter the URL:
