Chapter 231 The Temptation of Venice(2/2)
Ofulei secretly gave Gompatti a fair evaluation in her heart.
"attack!"
Marchenie, who was in front, saw more clearly.
He clearly saw the chaos on the enemy's position, and the sudden detonation of gunpowder even blew up the slope dam.
From the gap there, he could vaguely see the Venetian who was rushing to escape.
Macheni couldn't help but roar, and he led his team to quickly rush towards the gap. Almost instantly, the flag of the Romanesian army had been erected on the dam.
But next, Machenie suddenly discovered a scene that surprised him.
In the rear, there was no sound of the horn for the attack on the whole line!
As the smoke from the Westerrey defenders dissipated, Ofulei discovered that the enemy seemed to be starting to retreat.
"Are they going to retreat?" Ofulei asked the people around him with some surprise.
"It seems like he is an adult. It seems that the Venetians are not as brave as theirs."
The follower next to him laughed.
Listening to the follower's ridicule, Ofulei frowned.
He thought for a while and simply called the people around him to help him stand on the horse's back. Looking at the Venetian army that was moving in the distance, Ofulei couldn't help but feel a little undecided.
He participated in the defense of Pisa and the first Romani War. It can be said that he dealt with the Venetians in the Romanesian army second only to Alexander.
Because of this, Ofulei never despised the Venetians at all.
Now that the enemy has begun to retreat after only one round of artillery attacks, Ofulei feels really unbelievable.
"Sir, are we going to launch an attack?" the follower beside him asked excitedly.
Looking at the enemy who was beginning to retreat, Ofulei instinctively raised his hand, but he paused before putting it down.
He looked at the Venetian army in the distance, thinking repeatedly, but his raised hand could not fall.
Finally, he said slowly: "Wait a minute, and then take a look."
The followers around them showed anxiety on their faces, and they tried to hold back as much as possible. They stared at Ofulei anxiously, with an anxious look in their eyes.
But Ofulei never spoke again. He just stared at the enemy in the distance until Macheney rushed over.
"God, why not attack?!"
Marchenie was almost about to shout, and he jumped off his mount and came to Ofulei for a few steps. His face turned red and his voice was filled with a low voice. "Sir, isn't it the best opportunity now? We can capture Westerly with just one charge!"
"Then what?"
Ofulei looked at Macheney and asked coldly.
"Then?" Machenie was a little stunned.
"Yes, I ask you and what should we do, don't forget that we don't have a boat, even if you have you, do you think we can defeat the Venetians on the water?"
"But at least in this way we can directly threaten Venice," Machenie said anxiously, "we can cut off the traffic between the Venetians and land, which is certainly untolerable for them, and by then we can force them to sign an armistice agreement as the Duke's intention."
"Nicolah, you forgot that the Venetians had a navy, so even if we blocked Westerre, they could still get in touch with the land."
Ofulei looked towards Westerly. The weather was very good today. From here, you could even vaguely see the outline of Westerly town. It was really like you could get the town with just one stretch of your hand. This made Ofulei lick the corner of his mouth secretly.
"But forget it, we've already arrived here," Machenie looked at Ofulei in disbelief. "Then why did we venture here for?"
"To win the battle," Ofulei said, waved to Machenie to move him closer, and then he lowered his voice in Machenie's ear and said, "Listen, I know you are not satisfied, but look at the location of the town, it is surrounded by high ground, if we attack, it may be trapped in it, do you understand?"
"But, only a little bit, it's a little bit!" Machenie said in a low voice.
"You are not me, Nikola, I'm responsible for the entire legion," Ofulei pressed his voice lowered. "So listen well, whether you are satisfied or not, you must obey my orders, do you understand?"
Machenie looked at Ofulei with a pale face, and after a while, he replied in a muffled voice: "See the order, sir."
