A group of cavalry ran from afar towards Bucharest, and behind them was a team of more cavalry sergeants chasing them.

Gompatti really felt that she was stupid and naive, and she could hear Alexander's encouragement so easily.

According to Gompatti's idea, it is best to collect a few artillery first, then find a place with a wide view and easy defense and difficult attack. After using enough shells to bomb the enemy, consider whether to compete with the enemy in a close battle.

Of course, since the other party is an Ottoman, it is best to just do the previous part. As for the close contact, he doesn't have that idea yet.

But Alexander obviously did not want Gompatti to complete his conception step by step, so without artillery and favorable terrain, Alexander ordered Montina's army to cross the Danube from the upper reaches and launch a sudden attack towards the right wing that had already advanced to the outskirts of Bucharest.

As it turns out, Alexander's actions were completely beyond the expectations of Bayesette II!

When the Ottoman army was approaching, even the cautious and steady Valesset II could not help but be infected by his mighty military power. In the Sultan's imagination, the Hungarian king Ladislas II would either completely hide in Bucharest City, relying on the strong city wall to resist, or simply give up the city, and take advantage of the retreat that had not been completely cut off, fleeing back to Hungary to lick the wounds exposed because he had completely stepped on his feet and lost his self-esteem.

As for the Hungarian kings who might choose to make peace, Bayesette II had thought that although there was little hope for this possibility, if Bucharest really sent a negotiator, the Sultan would not be surprised.

But no matter what, the only thing Sudan did not expect was that the enemy would take the initiative to attack him!

Because he did not expect that when he received the news of an attack from the right wing, Bayesette II not only did not believe it, but even believed that his generals deliberately described the local volunteers who harassed guerrillas as the enemy's regular troops in order to get rid of the losses suffered by neglect of duty.

The Sultan was very angry about this. Although he had ordered Erup and Ruye to encircle the local guerrillas together, he also knew that this was not a simple task. Especially after Herva, as Duke of Zagreb, resolutely joined this guerrilla war, the security war in his rear had become a war that was no easier than a frontal battlefield.

But even so, he still didn't think that the Balkan civilian army dared to challenge his army head-on, so when he heard that his right wing was attacked, the first thing Sudan thought of was that the generals in charge of the right wing deliberately exaggerated the enemy's strength in order to shirk responsibility.

The attack was an Ottoman army stationed in the upper reaches of the Danube, which was responsible for monitoring the fortresses along the outer suburbs of Bucharest.

This army is a typical tribal militia army. These armies gradually evolved from tribal armed forces in the Ottoman Empire in the early years were the earliest armed forces of the Ottoman Empire. In the long two centuries before the establishment of the new army, these tribal militia army shouldered the historical mission of gradually forming this empire.

However, as time goes by, the tribal militia army has gradually been replaced by the recruiting troops of the new army and conquered vassal states. Even they themselves know that perhaps in no time, they will no longer be seen on the battlefield where Sudan conquered Europe.

But even so, these tribal civilian troops were still very fierce. At least when Montina's army launched a sudden attack on them, these civilian troops quickly stabilized their positions after the initial panic.

The first one to launch an attack was always the Bohemian cavalry.

Alexander had enough confidence in his own Bohemians, and the speed and suddenness of the light cavalry played an important role in this large-scale raid.

Especially for Alexander, his real purpose was not to set up a formation with the Ottomans on the plains outside Bucharest to fight a dignified field offensive and defense.

In this case, the whirlwind-like battlefield power of the Bohemian cavalry has become a crucial and critical factor.

However, neither Alexander, who made the plan, nor Gompatti, who carried out the plan, expected that the Ottoman army would react so quickly, or that they somewhat despised the flexibility and enthusiasm of the Ottomans on the battlefield.

The Ottoman army of this era can be said to be the most powerful and aggressive military group in the world.

Actively invent various advanced combat tactics, actively accept new things and avant-garde and even sometimes outrageous technical equipment.

There is no deep and dusk energy, nor is there any self-confidence.

The Ottoman officers all had a strong desire to fight.

So when the Bohemian cavalry had just broken through a fortified area stationed on the west bank of the Danube, and before they could even expand the small fruit of victory, they found themselves surrounded by the Ottoman army who came to reinforce after hearing the news.

Gompatti, who led the Bohemians, decisively sent him to throw away all the intercepted spoils, and then he did not care whether the Bohemians obeyed the order and immediately ordered the army to run downstream along the Danube.

Some Bohemians could not bear the money they had, but soon they found that life was obviously much more important than those outside of them, especially after seeing the Ottomans flocking to them from all directions so quickly, the Bohemians immediately threw down their spoils and fled in panic.

In order to escape more easily, or to lure the pursuers behind them to distract themselves from picking up their belongings, some people even abandoned their original wealth without hesitation. For a moment, discarded purses, jewelry, precious silk and fur are everywhere on the road.

But even so, the Ottomans behind them had no intention of giving up. On the contrary, they chased them even more vigorously, and they were in a state of being completely torn apart by the people who did not let Gompatti down.

In fact, all the Ottomans were so persistent because Bayesette II was really angry.

No matter how Sultan did, he never expected that the Bucharests would be so bold that they would attack him. When they heard that the building line on his right wing was attacked and broken through, the first thing Sudan thought of was not the size of the enemy and the losses of his own side, but the encounter when his father Mohammed II went on an expedition to Bucharest.

When Mohamed II was about to capture Bucharest, he was inexplicably defeated by the army of mad farmers in the local area and broke through the position. He was even injured in the melee, and eventually had to retreat in disgrace.

Bayesette II did not take it lightly because the enemy just raided the building of one defense line. He could not tolerate himself as well as failure due to that kind of "accident". He was also not so arrogant that he thought he was strong enough to ignore the mistake that led to his father's miserable defeat.

Because of this, the Sudan ordered that the army that attacked them must be eliminated no matter what, and at the same time, it was necessary to find out where this army emerged.

Gompatti couldn't help but curse. He didn't know whether he was scolding Alexander for being self-righteous or his stupidity. The Ottoman army chasing behind was gathering towards him from several directions. He had clearly felt that the space for his movement was getting smaller and smaller. Although the fortress along the Bucharest in the distance seemed to be in front of him, he didn't know whether he could still get there before the Ottomans surrounded him.

The sound of horns came with the cold river wind. Although the wind blew on his face as painful as a knife, the feeling was indescribable for Gompatti today.

"Try harder, if you don't want the pagans to tear them into pieces, run!"

Gompatti shouted to the Bohemian beside him. The wind blew into his mouth and poured it into his stomach as if the scorching feeling in his chest was much more comfortable, but the sound of horse hooves roaring like thunder behind him seemed to be approaching with death.

You can already see the fortress on the river bank, and you can even vaguely see the trenchers standing on the fortress.

A warning horn sounded, and the Fortress had apparently noticed them, only out of caution that the other party obviously did not want this army of unknown origin to approach.

"Maybe I'll be getting shelled soon." Gompatti murmured in a low voice. Although he likes to ravage the enemy with cannons, he doesn't want to taste the feeling of being shelled by himself.

So Gompatti had to change his direction a little. His purpose was not to be a river bank fortress, but to continue north along the river bank, and after crossing the fortress, he ran directly towards Bucharest.

Gompatti really didn't expect that he would be so embarrassed. According to Alexander's plan, he should have taken the initiative to attack the Ottomans and gradually led the enemy's pursuers to the riverbank near the fortress. After inducing the two sides to fight, he would choose to evacuate the battlefield in a safe and orderly manner, or if he had the opportunity, he would give the Ottomans a heavy blow before withdrawing from the battle.

But now things are completely different from what they thought at the beginning. The Ottomans' reaction was jaw-dropping. Gompatti didn't even have the chance to completely get rid of the pursuers behind him.

He could only take the Bohemians to retreat desperately along the side of the river bank fortress towards Bucharest. At the same time, he secretly prayed in his heart that he hoped that the defenders in the fortress could help them delay the pursuers behind them.

But Gompatti was obviously too optimistic. Although the fortress defenders knew that the sudden emergence of the army should be reinforcements from somewhere, when they saw the strange and fierce Ottoman troops chasing behind them, the defenders were not only nervous and vigilant to guard against the possible siege, but strangely chose to remain silent and observe.

The Ottoman army almost passed by the edge of the fortress, and recently a pursuer had even completely entered the range of the fortress artillery.

But the defenders in the fortress were silently watching the Ottomans outside until bursts of smoke and dust blew on the fortress walls.

"Why don't we fire?" A young soldier with a spear in his hand asked his companions next to him. "Aren't those people our own?"

"Shut up, don't worry," his companion whispered, then he leaned out into the distance and looked carefully, then shook his head and sighed, "Those people are not lucky, they will be killed by the Ottomans."

The young soldier was about to say something again, but when he saw his companion staring at him, he could only shut his mouth.

"God bless them."

A defender officer stood on the lookout building on the high grounds of the fortress and looked at the figures that were leaving. He said helplessly.

Next to him, another officer drew a cross on his chest and muttered to himself: "I hope God forgives our sins."

Gompatti began to worry about her fate.

The strange actions of the riverbank fort made him realize that the prospect was not good. Although Alexander had said before that the purpose of this attack was to break the silence between the two sides and cause war, the strange silence of the fortress defenders still made Gompatti realize that things were more serious than they had imagined before.

Obviously, Bucharest had already shown signs of peace, otherwise the defenders would not have watched them being pursued by the Ottomans but watched silently.

What happens if you keep moving forward? What happens even if you escape to the city of Bucharest?

Gompatti didn't know where Alexander was at this time. When he led the Bohemians to launch the first attack, Alexander was leading the army of Montina to advance to the left bank of the Alger River that crossed the Danube.

And along the left bank of the Arje River, we advance upstream, and we are the Upper Tatarjesh stationed by the Imperial Camp of Bayesette II!

"I hope the Count doesn't do stupid things, otherwise we may all be in trouble this time."

Gompatti had already felt the extreme oppression, and he knew that the area that could be used for his mobility was getting smaller and smaller, and some of the Ottoman cavalry were advancing quickly along their left.

They obviously intended to cut off their way before Gompatti entered the suburbs of Bucharest, and then squeezed them toward the river bank at the same time from several directions.

Although he guessed the intentions of the Ottomans, Gompatti had no countermeasures to deal with. His only way was to pin his hopes on being able to enter the suburbs of Bucharest before the road ahead was cut off. At that time, even if the two sides had some tacit understanding, the Bucharests could not have seen the Ottomans approaching the city and threatening the city.

There was a rapid sound of horse hooves on the road ahead, and Gompatti's heart suddenly tensed. He knew that the cavalry that would appear outside the city at this time could only be the Ottomans, which made him feel a little lucky and kept sinking.

"Prepare the musket." Gompatti panted behind her and told the Bohemians, "Remember to start the charge immediately after the first round of shooting. Whether you can survive depends on God's arrangement!"

The Bohemians were crossing their chests. They had experienced too much life-and-death battle. For them, danger could no longer easily shake their minds. For them, fighting or death was just a matter of moment.

"Be prepared!" Gompatti also drew his musket. His gun technique was far less sophisticated, but now he could not care about those.

The shaking figures of the team in the distance have appeared, and you can smell the oncoming smell of blood from afar.

Then Gompatti heard a slightly stiff but beautiful voice at this moment: "We are the defenders of Bucharest, and in the name of Princess Sophia Alisandra Valleolo, I order you to tell your identity!"
