Conquer the Dawn of Heaven

The roar of the artillery shot and the shell hitting the target sounded almost at the same time, which made the huge sound more powerful, and at the same time the faint vibration from the ground caused a panic shout.

Juan Fernando Don Banderas rushed out of the room embarrassedly. Although he didn't show much panic on his face, he betrayed him with a mess of steps under his feet.

At this time, the mayor of Madrid has completely ignored the proper manners, after all, this sudden attack deeply shocked the people in the palace.

Seeing Alexander and Gonzalo walking quickly from the opposite side protected by guards, Don Bandraz tried to make himself look less flustered.

He immediately greeted him, and at the same time eagerly asked the entourage who happened to rush to the side: "What happened? Rebellion?"

Seeing the exasperated look of Lord Mayor, and hearing his words again, Alexander suddenly felt that the scene before him was so familiar that he almost blurted out: "No, it's a revolution."

Then he immediately shook his head, throwing this very unlucky idea aside.

The people gathered in the corridor stopped and looked in the direction from which the gunfire came. Amidst the mayor's anxiety, the faces of Pressure Mountain and Gonzalo were puzzled and confused.

"You heard me right."

"should not."

"That's it, but it's weird."

"It's strange."

Listening to the endless conversation between the two people, the Lord Mayor did his best to resist the urge to yell at them.

When he finally noticed Don Bandraz's anxious look, Gonzalo felt that he should comfort him.

"The sound of artillery shooting and the sound of the cannon ball landing almost at the same time, which is a bit weird, you must know that the cannon ball always flies in the air before it hits the ground."

Hearing Gonzalo's explanation, Don Bandraz nodded vigorously, and then looked at Gonzalo with a curious look.

Alexander next to him had to continue to explain: "So their shells didn't hit the palace, and now it seems to be in that direction."

In fact, even if Alexander did not point it out at this time, everyone had already noticed a plume of smoke rising not far from the palace.

Obviously there should be the place where the bombardment was encountered, but from the position of the smoke and dust, it can be seen that it is obviously far away from the outer wall of the palace.

The guards who assembled quickly after hearing the sound of the artillery rushed towards the direction of the shelling. At the same time, the hunting guards were included. Gonzalo's guards were second, and the outermost was the original garrison that had followed Gonzalo back to Madrid. .

Don Bandraz could detect that the Balkan man next to Alexander and the soldiers under him were staring at them. Although it was annoying, Don Bandraz chose to ignore it.

For Don Bandraz, this time is really dangerous. If there is a slight change here, the Balkans may chop it into meat sauce, but if the rebels outside the palace break in, there will be Maybe he was chopped into meat sauce with the Duke of Romanthesia.

Don Bandraz decided to take a risk. He was actually not sure whether the prince of Castile who appeared suddenly could win the final victory, but now he needs to bet on a certain house and cannot continue. The wavering time, the Mayor of Madrid only hesitated for such a short moment before he made a decision that might affect his life in the future.

"His Royal Highness, you can direct my people directly," Don Bandraz said loudly, and then continued to say, ignoring the slightly changed followers next to him, "In addition, I can summon citizens to form a civilian army in the name of the mayor of Madrid. "

Alexander glanced at Don Bandraz, his impression of this man slightly changed.

Being slick in the world, they are very good at seizing opportunities. Such people are often too clever and sometimes hesitate to do things.

But this Juan Fernando Don Bandraz does not seem to be such a person.

When he had to make a choice, this person's decisiveness surprised Alexandre somewhat, but again, if he was to betray, he would not hesitate.

It's just that now Alexander is not worried about anything stupid he will do.

"Let your people follow General Gonzalo's orders, I think things will be resolved soon."

Alexander nodded in agreement, then suddenly chuckled, but then he raised his eyebrows and looked in that direction.

Gonzalo looked into the distance with a gloomy expression. He felt somewhat shameless. Just as he assured the Duke that there would be no accidents, someone used a cannon to severely teach him.

A group of soldiers ran to the outside of the palace, while loud shouts came from the fortress.

Although the El Pardo Palace was no longer focused on the role of military defense when it was built because of the environment at that time, it is still a very strong castle.

The arrival of Alexander awakened the mission of this palace originally as a fortress, not a palace.

The soldiers did not enter and exit through the gate that had been closed long ago, but exited the palace through an alley sloping downward from the upper level of the fortress.

The ramp is very steep, and the first-level stone steps are inclining but extremely difficult to navigate.

The upper opening is made of heavy stone slabs and very thick wooden beams. Once attacked, it will immediately seal the downward access.

And the unusually sloping and narrow steps make it impossible for people to stand on it for a long time to destroy the gates blocked above their heads.

This is a very old design, but it is very useful.

When Gonzalo climbed the city wall, he saw that a group of soldiers had formed a small square outside the city.

Farther away, you can see the place where the smoke is still floating. There are so many people there, it seems that someone is running and shouting.

Gonzalo stared there carefully, and years of war experience made him quickly discover that there seemed to be an accident on the other side, and to his surprise, the number of the other side seemed to be much smaller than he had imagined.

"Look at what happened." Gonzalo instructed the people around him. He saw a few Madrid officers showing hesitation. His eyes fell on the face of the team officer who was forcibly brought back. You lead the team."

The team officer hesitated, and then silently asked him to take off his armor and walked slowly down the stairs along the ramp.

Looking at the team officer's back, and then at the soldiers he led, Gonzalo was lost in thought for a while.

Under the leadership of the team officer, the formation gradually formed a three-tier horizontal line. They raised their weapons and approached cautiously. Because of tension, people from time to time freed up their hands to wipe the sweat that splashed into the corners of their eyes.

As we approached, the situation on the other side became clearer and clearer, and the team official's face gradually changed from accident to weird.

A group of people who could not be said to be the army or civilians gathered together in a mess, and their equipment was also messed up.

They are holding all kinds of weapons, some of them are wearing exquisite armor, holding sharp two-handed swords, the gems on the swords are still shining in the sun, and some holding them look like they haven’t seen them for a long time. Days, rusty spears, even more people simply hold the wooden chains used to slap and bask the grass.

But what surprised the soldiers was that in the open space in front of these people, there was a brand new artillery, and not far in front of the artillery, there was a shallow crater that was apparently just hit by a cannonball.

Looking at the shallow pit that was still emitting smoke and dust, the team officer licked his tongue slightly, then involuntarily turned his head and looked behind him.

It’s not far from the palace. At such a short distance, a shell can cause little damage, but if it happens, it may create a miracle.

But these people obviously would not use this powerful weapon, so that after the shell was fired, it directly smashed a raised mound not far in front of it.

And as they approached, the team official finally recognized a few of those who seemed to be the leading nobles.

Seeing the crowd who seemed to be overwhelmed by the artillery accident, the team officer made a decision after hesitating a little.

"The queue is moving forward, ready to stab!"

The soldiers obviously didn't have too much scruples. They just raised their weapons honestly according to the command of the team officer and pointed their spears far away at those who were already a little confused.

Someone on the other side started yelling, seeming to be asking the commander to stand up and speak, but no one paid any attention to him.

The reflection of the sharp spear blade made many people cold in this scorching summer. They looked at the nobles who took the lead in a panic. When they saw that their shouts seemed to have no effect at all, some people began to quietly retreat.

"Don't run away, for the king!" A nobleman in gorgeous armor urged his servant to support him on the horse. The heavy armor and the lining attached to his body made him panting, and he even felt that if he didn't charge again Feng, may first pass out due to heat.

A dull cry burst out from the face mask that had actually been put down. He raised the lancet in his hand, and as he clamped the horse's belly hard, the warhorse, which was also covered with his whole body, rushed towards the oncoming queue.

The soldiers suddenly became nervous. The knight with the tall horse and the same armor on the back looked like a demon from hell. Although he was only one person, when he rushed towards him, the soldiers felt as if they were facing one another. A terrible army that can crush them into powder at any time.

The entourage behind the knight also cheered. At this moment, the knight's brave behavior infected everyone.

The soldiers on the opposite side became not terrible anymore, a shout rang from the crowd, and various weapons were raised high.

"For the king!" someone shouted loudly, and rushed forward.

When one person is willing to rush, it will lead to more people.

Infected by the brave actions of the knight and his entourage, the people who were originally afraid suddenly burst into endless courage!

They raised all kinds of weapons in their hands high, shouting out a roar from the heart!

The crowd rushed to the opposite soldier who was a little alarmed by the accident.

"boom!"

"Boom!"

There was a loud sound at first, and then a continuous violent and dense gunfire sounded at this time.

Thick smoke rose from the woods on both sides of the soldiers in the line, and the explosion of the gun and the roaring sound of projectiles mixed with people's eardrums.

A black spot visible to the naked eye, like an enraged wild bee, pounced on the horseman sprinting.

Immediately afterwards, there was a dense and trembling terrible sound.

The knight's bright armor was instantly punched with large and small pits, and his body was trembling immediately.

In the end, it was a huge projectile fired from a heavy musket.

The projectile pierced his faceplate directly, and the head wearing the helmet seemed to have been punched, and slammed backwards, and then the whole person fell from the running horse like a fallen Samson. .

A piece of dust was thrown on the ground, and it also completely shattered the courage of those who followed him.

Their forward footsteps could not be stopped with the dust raised by the knight who fell under the horse, even though the companions from behind rushed up and knocked down the people in front one after another, those people still desperately braked back and did not dare to move forward. One step closer.

The team officer looked back in astonishment, and immediately saw a small group of Musketeers in the woods loading ammunition.

The choking smoke of gunpowder was still floating in the forest, and a row of musketeers who took over from the front team had passed through the gap in the front team, and immediately raised their weapons.

Even if it is just a shooting action, even a brave soldier will be frightened when facing a black hole.

And these kings' loyalists were obviously not as brave as they thought. After seeing such a brave and invincible master knight being thrown down in a round, the courage that had just been summoned was gone.

Now I saw those musketeers posing as they wanted to kill them all. I don’t know who shouted "Run!". In an instant, those people threw down their weapons like they were waking up in a dream, and they disappeared. .

The Musketeers did not shoot any more, they just approached slowly from both sides, and then together with the Madrid soldiers, like a shepherd, drove the "flock" far away into the street.

Halfway through, some people wisely escaped from the running crowd. They got into the alleyway on the side of the street, and then rushed for their lives.

The soldiers ignored the escaped insurgents, they just forced a large group of insurgents blindly fleeing in the street to keep running forward.

Until one of them finally couldn't hold on anymore, they ran slowly and gradually fell behind.

"Raise the spear!"

The team officer issued a frightening order.

Sharp-handled spears lined up into a row of terrible jungles pointing straight forward, and the dripping blood stains from the spears left scarlet marks on the passing road.

The rebels, or a group of mobs, looked at the approaching soldiers in terror. At this time, their faces no longer had the fierce and almost fanatical passion that they had before. The only thing left was panic and anxiety. And the stiff expression became numb.

"They didn't dare, they didn't dare," a young nobleman kept repeating these words, then he plucked up the courage to walk out of the crowd and stand in front, shouting to the soldiers who were approaching them. "Listen to me for God's sake, I am..."

"shooting!"

An out-of-tune roar that didn't know whether it was due to nervousness or fear sounded from the Madrid soldiers.

The voice seemed to be mixed with helpless and angry catharsis.

The Musketeers who had been vigilantly monitoring the opposing insurgents reacted almost as soon as the order was given.

Fierce gunshots erupted in the street in an instant, smoke filled, sparks splattered, the whole street was completely enveloped in a scream, crying for help and crying out of fear to the extreme.

Residents on both sides of the street looked at the horrible horror outside through the windows with horror. When someone tried to open the door to rescue the unlucky people who fell on the ground and kept calling for help, they were immediately caught by bullets flying around outside. Hit back.

This day is destined to be an unforgettable day for the people of Madrid.

As long as people who have experienced it personally, even after many years, it is impossible to forget the tragedy that happened on the streets of Madrid on this day.

The terrible gunfire went up and down, and people could only hide in the house and listen to the movement outside with fear.

Finally, the gunfire gradually subsided, and someone on the street began to yell loudly, and at the same time, a creepy scream was faintly heard.

The soldiers started knocking from door to door, which made the citizens panic again.

But they soon learned that they had been recruited to help collect the bodies.

It was only when people walked to the street that they discovered that the originally flat streets were full of corpses lying in a pool of blood and people who might be moved from time to time.

The blood flowed slowly along the drainage ditches on both sides of the street, forming a terrible red stream.

The team officer stood in the middle of the street with a dull face, his body needs to be supported with a sword to stand firm, but even so, if you pass by his side, you can find his body trembling gently, and whenever When someone approached, he seemed to be frightened.

He noticed that his soldiers looked at him very strangely, but they were not to blame.

No one would have thought that the team official would be the first to give the shooting order, and he did not even give the other party any opportunity to explain or negotiate.

Even the musketeers looked at him with a strange expression.

Speaking of which, no one would have thought that this slaughter, which might have been avoided, would eventually end in such a terrible and cruel way, only because of an order from an original Madrid officer suddenly and frantically.

This result even stunned Alexander and Gonzalo who heard the report.

They thought that there might be a cruel massacre. After all, facing those insurgents, only cruel methods can effectively suppress them.

But they did not expect the result to be so tragic, or a little terrible.

"226 people?"

"Yes, my lord, we found so many people in total," a soldier reported to Gonzalo. "Except for some people who escaped halfway, we killed and injured most of the insurgents on the street. Now those The bodies of people are still concentrated in the street."

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will try my best to deal with this matter," Don Bandraz did not know where he rushed over. After listening to the soldier's report, he came over and offered to solve the problem. The problem "This is a terrible day, but those people are also responsible for themselves."

Gonzalo looked at Alexander with a gloomy expression. He did not expect this to be the result. Although he had commanded greater battles and had seen more casualties, he had never done a massacre on the street before. of.

Alexander lowered his eyes and thought about it silently. The changes that happened in Madrid were indeed unexpected to him~www.wuxiaspot.com~ but now that things have happened, he does not regret it.

In other words, the form does not allow him to be so sentimental.

"Go and do what you should do, Lord Mayor," Alexander finally broke the silence and gave the order, and then he looked at Gonzalo to the side and muttered a little before whispering, "It seems that there are things we have to change our plans."

Don Bandraz hurriedly got on the carriage and ran out of the palace under the protection of a team of guards.

However, his motorcade did not go far out of the palace, and met the soldiers led by the team officer who happened to return.

Looking at the team officer who walked to the carriage and bowed to him, Don Bandraz did not speak, but his eyes kept flickering.

"I did as you ordered," the team officer reported in a low voice, then he held his forehead and moaned in a low voice, "God won't forgive me."

"Yes," the mayor of Madrid said in a gloomy tone. "God will forgive everyone who succeeds, unless you unfortunately fail to follow my instructions."
