Conquer the Dawn of Heaven

Di Fuli Mountain is a hill with a north-south sloping trend. It is not very high among all hills in the suburbs of Rome. The north side is a relatively gentle slope, and the south foot is slightly steep.

The land of Difu Mountain is very suitable for growing grapes. In spring and summer, green vineyards can be seen from the foot of the mountain. In autumn, the vineyard becomes a fruit-rich purple.

Because of its close proximity to Rome, most of the grapes on Mount Di Fouli were sold by local mountain people to the wine workshops in the city of Rome, and a large part of the vineyards on the mountain belonged to the church ’s industry.

Although it has always been famous that all roads lead to Rome, there is not such a avenue from the Roman city to the old mansion on Derfoss Hill. This is a steep cliff on the west **** of Derfoss Hill facing the Roman city. It is too much trouble for this era to build roads in such places.

Therefore, anyone who wants to go up the mountain must pass through the gentle **** on the north side, pass a mountain road that spirals up the mountain, and then pass through the small town centered by a small monastery built on the mountainside. The vineyards of Mount Dewey.

The priests hired people here to pick good grapes and make wine. During this period, many priests made a fortune, so a villa estate with a different appearance and unusually luxurious interiors was built near Dewey Hill.

The old Rovere ’s manor is at the southern foot of the mountain, where the sun is abundant and the air is fresh. If the weather is good, you can directly see the coastline of the Direnian Sea in the distance. Standing under the mountain, you can see the villa ’s pale white outer wall, and the belt With a little pagan style oval roof.

Alexander ’s team went all the way along the mountain road. Although it did n’t look high, the road became longer because of the mountain.

The team progressed slowly, because there was no dangerous location, and here is Rome, so the trip was still very comfortable. The only unsatisfactory place was that the snow that had been deposited on the road because of the snow had been all over. It became thick ice, which made travel a lot more difficult.

Alexander did not ride but rides on a horse-drawn carriage. The carriage walked slowly on the mountain road. He had to slow down when he needed to turn, and because the body was firm but inconvenient, he walked a lot slower. .

"Perhaps shock should be installed on the carriage." The idea swayed in Alexandria. Speaking of riding a carriage in this era is actually not a very comfortable enjoyment. The bad road conditions are enough to make a pleasant journey change. It is a disaster, and the absence of shock absorbers is a test of the quality of the carriage. No one can guarantee that the next time the wheel falls into which pit, it will not break the axle, or simply break the wooden wheel into pieces.

Even if the road is smooth, the bumpy road will make long-distance travel a torture. Even if a thick cushion is placed in the car, if the road is far away, this road will be enough to shake a person and be about to fall apart.

But Alexander thought it was not entirely for his own convenience to install a shock absorber on the carriage.

The defeat of the French army in the town of Taro Valley caused him to lose nearly 20 artillery pieces. This was a very heavy loss for Alexander. It was also the battle that made him realize that the power of artillery in the field was certainly important, but flexible. Maneuverability is also an important factor that cannot be ignored in field operations.

The bulkiness of the artillery makes maneuvering more difficult, but as the war gradually changes, maneuvering has become an indispensable key to winning on the battlefield in the future.

The French have very powerful artillery skills. This Alexander has known for a long time, but after the war in the town of Tarot Valley, he had to recognize the level of artillery in France again.

Alexander hoped to create an artillery vehicle that could move quickly on the battlefield, and be able to keep up with the infantry's forward speed in time, so that his artillery could shoot faster than the enemy, and at the same time it could cover most of the battlefield more flexibly. Circumstances with the powerful opponent of the French artillery.

Another reason why he became very interested in the artillery was the Aragonese.

According to some news from the Greek side, Gonzalo's army has landed on some islands in the Aegean Sea and has fought several fierce battles with the Ottomans.

In these battles, the Spanish phalanx, which was carefully trained by Gonzalo, emerged. With a blockbuster, the Aragonese army defeated several enemy troops in a row and occupied several islands on the Aegean Sea.

This made Alexander smell a dangerous breath. He knew that Gonzalo had n’t really fully realized the power of the phalanx. It can be said that the current phalanx is only a prototype, but even this is already full of power. The Spanish phalanx is maturing, perhaps it is one of his strong enemies.

In Alexandria ’s mind, the most effective weapon against the Spanish Hedgehog like a moving giant hedgehog is artillery, and the deployment of artillery that can pose a huge threat to the enemy on the ever-changing battlefield anytime and anywhere, in addition to the battlefield To grasp the situation, the commander needs the artillery itself to have the mechanical power to respond at any time.

This requires that while ensuring the power of the artillery, it is necessary to reduce the weight as much as possible, and at the same time to build an artillery vehicle that can be quickly transported and can be quickly put into battle after reaching the battlefield.

Alexander thought these thoughts, and the team was about to reach the village on the mountainside.

This village is an indispensable way from the bottom of the mountain to Difolf Mountain, and because of the previous short road, many people passing by will stop a little bit to rest, and then continue to move forward.

The arrival of the hunting guards caught the attention of the people in the village a little bit, but it may be that the aristocrats who traveled between Rome and the manor on Difolberg were often seen. After just paying attention, the villagers did what they should do.

The village is small. Except for the original church, a well repaired in the open space in front of the church and the church form the center of the whole village. The whole village is built around this place.

As the team crossed the road in the village, the sound of horseshoes and wheels rolling in the mud was monotonous and clear. Unconsciously, it seemed that the village suddenly became quiet.

The water well is in front. Travelers will always stop here for a while. People want to quench their thirst, and horses need water.

The attack started at this time!

When the first shot sounded, a hunting guard walking in the front immediately fell to the ground with a gun, followed by a spurious but intensive shot that sounded from all directions!

At almost an instant, the whistling bullets flew towards the carriage in the middle of the line. In the dull sound of guns, the wall of the carriage was smashed with wood chips, and the horses pulling the carriage were shot repeatedly, in a wailing hiss, The two horses ran forward a few steps and fell to the ground.

The hunting guards were chaotic by the sudden attack. Some soldiers immediately turned over and dismounted, while others screamed and slammed the horse's belly to run forward quickly.

The sound of the muskets was chaotic, but it was extremely dense. Several horses that were used as shields screamed and ran wildly after being shot. When the guns stopped and a cry rang out, the guards only saw the attackers. where.

From the windows and doors of some houses in the village, there were shimmering swords. At the same time, as someone shouted "in the name of God", a group of heavily armed soldiers who had already ambushed in the village rushed out.

"Kill them!"

I don't know who made such a cry. For a time, everyone was rushing towards the carriage tightly surrounded by the hunting guards.

"Keep your ground!"

Shear shouted and raised a rifle at the enemy who had rushed forward.

The sound of "bang", the gunshot made an enemy who was already very close frightened, but when he found that he had not been shot, he immediately yelled and raised his sword again to less than ten steps away. Sher jumped.

Just then, the man saw the Balkans suddenly made a weird move.

Facing the enemies rushing in, Shell did not wave the sword, but suddenly squatted down and shouted loudly to the hunting guards beside him: "Get down!"

The attacker had a moment of doubt, and then they suddenly saw the door of the carriage that was tightly surrounded in the middle suddenly opening.

Then there was a tidy and dense roar like a horseshoe banging on the ground, covering all the sounds around.

The first to be hit

When he fell, he didn't know what happened. He seemed to be suddenly knocked to the ground by an invisible fist. Even when the pain hadn't struck, the person tried to climb up again.

But almost at the same time, the companions around him fell back like him, and the whole row of people who rushed to the front for a time seemed to fall down as if hitting an invisible wall.

The choking smoke rose, the upper and lower rows of the carriage were still smoking, and the murderous barrel appeared in the eyes of the living assassin.

No attacker thought that Count Montina should be in the car, only a terrible weapon that slaughtered a dozen people in an instant.

"What's this? What's this ?!" A man shouted in panic, staring blankly at the hunting guard on the opposite side, and then he suddenly made a horrible roar "Trap! It's trap!"

The sound of the call made the attackers around him agitated for a while, and before they knew what was happening in this fear, a strange horn that surprised them inexplicably suddenly sounded from outside the village.

Accompanied by the trumpet, there were successive passwords.

"This is a trap!"

Someone shouted like this again, but this time no one expressed any doubt. At the same time, with a password, the short musket in the hands of the hunting guards around the carriage was fiercely shot at the oncoming enemy!

At the same time, although wearing a variety of different costumes, they were surrounded by a Montina soldier who walked from the village to the front of the church in all directions with a kind of Monta soldiers who will be impressed by the first glance. The Agari Musketeers ’pace was so terrifying against the muzzle of a row of flat black holes that when the first sight of the enemy appeared behind him, the attacker was terrified by fear. stand up.

"Raise the gun ~" A team officer used to give orders.

"Aim ~"

"Release ~"

The sound of gunshots thundered and shook the sky of Di Fuli Mountain.

At this time, Old Rovere was in a room in the villa, and the glass in his hand was filled with the wine of the first year of autumn. In fact, the taste of this new wine tasted because it did not taste after a long period of fermentation. However, it seemed that the old Luo Weilei enjoyed the slightly greenish taste. He took a sip and pondered, then took another soft sip.

"Wine should still be kept for a few years," Constantine, who was sitting opposite him, took a sip and frowned, holding his glass and saw that his father hadn't spoken. He said, "Maybe we can drink ..."

"Good wine does need to be stored for a long time," Old Rovere glanced at his son, actually raised his glass and looked at the sun. "Because compared with various methods, time is the best way to preserve, and you and my son , Although you understand this truth, you just use this cleverness in understanding wine. "

Constantly speaking to his father, Constantine silently watched Old Rovere stand up and walk to the window to look at the outside scenery ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ After hesitating, he finally said: "Father, Gombray should Already on the road. "

Old Luo Weilei looked back at his son and saw that Constantine seemed to be eager to try. He shook his head slightly and picked up the glass again: "As I said, since you understand the meaning of winemaking, why don't you understand why this principle also applies to other Where is it? "

"But maybe we can ..."

Constantine's words were not finished, and the sudden sound of gunshots from the other side of the mountain interrupted him.

Constantine, who heard the gunshots, stood up sharply. He quickly walked to the window and looked towards the village to the north.

Then he suddenly turned around and shouted excitedly at the old Luo Weilei who was also shocked by the gunshot: "Father, let's do it over there!"

"Yes," Old Rovere responded. He looked back at the several attendants and servants who rushed in to hear the gunshot, and then stretched his hand to grab Constantine's arm. Calm but low and powerful. Say: "Do you know what to do now?"

"Yes father." Constantine waved a few nods to the followers and ordered "Go and bring the horse."

As Constantine walked quickly into the yard, a mount that had already been prepared made a long hiss that had been waiting impatiently.

Constantine lifted his thick robe and turned his horse. He grasped the reins with both hands and urged upwards. As the war horse's head lifted up, the two thick white gases erupted from the horse's nose like those in the ancient knight story Flames from a fierce dragon.

A team of soldiers who had gathered in the manor before was already prepared at this time. Looking at the team with weapons, Constantine issued a command loudly: "Go!"

Then he took the lead and dashed out of the manor!
