king of ros

Chapter 189 Bella Arrives
Edward and Andrew chatted for a long time. At the beginning, the two sides were still discussing the war, but it soon turned into a nostalgia for the past. The relationship between the two made them have many precious memories. There is no end to it.

They chatted until late at night before going to rest, and both the host and the guest were very happy.

For the king, the chat was a great relief and relief, and even the ailments didn't feel so serious.

As for Edward, this communication made his tense nerves relax, and he slept very well at night.

But when he woke up in the morning, all he could hear was overwhelming noise, and Edward got up a little annoyed.

After thinking for a while, Edward realized that it was Magyar, after all he had lived in a Russian environment for so long.

And when he remembered the language he hadn't used for a while, he got a piece of news that made him feel like a blow to his head.

The vanguard of the Duke of Bohemia retreated early this morning, and the follow-up troops will not come.

The Duke of Bohemia's army has a full three thousand, which is an important part of the imperial army that came to aid, and now that the Bohemian army is retreating, it means that more than half of the imperial reinforcements have left.

The whole barracks was in chaos because of the news. Everyone knew the news, and everyone was very disturbed because of it. Restless people were everywhere.

Some soldiers changed their clothes in a hurry, some soldiers were arguing with the people around them, and some soldiers stood there at a loss, completely unaware of what happened.

Most people were very confused by the current reaction, but Edward's reaction was very quick, and he immediately went to the location of his troops. He knew that if he didn't go there, there would be an accident, and he had to stabilize the soldiers who were agitated by the chaos.

These Ross soldiers could not understand Magyar, so all the noise made them extremely confused and flustered, but fortunately, the officers among them temporarily stabilized the soldiers and persisted until Edward arrived.

Edward knew that the power in his hands should not be messed up, so that he could help his old friend in the future.

He explained the situation to the officer neatly, and gave the order to stand still, and the people who received the order and knew that there was no enemy attack also found their backbone and settled down. After Edward finished all this, he continued to deal with other things.

Edward wanted to know the reason why the Bohemian army didn't come, but he couldn't ask anything in this noisy barracks.

Edward saw that someone made a rumor that the coalition would be defeated, but the rumor maker was arrested by the knights he saw yesterday and executed on the spot.

It seems that even in chaos, these knights still maintain corresponding vigilance, and it is precisely because of their heavy blows against those who intend to make trouble that the situation is not completely corrupted.

People were talking to themselves, some said that the people of the empire had betrayed the king, some said that the empire had fallen to Bella, some said that there was civil strife in the empire, and some even said that the little emperor of the empire was dead.

Seeing that he couldn't ask any questions from these soldiers, Edward went straight to the king's tent, but at the moment it was already full of people, and the army leaders were all asking what happened in a panic.

Edward squeezed for a while before he squeezed into the king's tent, and he found that the imperial envoy was reporting the ins and outs of all this to King Andrew.

The king's complexion was very bad, obviously all this made him quite annoyed, but he suppressed his anger, he had to know what was going on first.

In the Magyar language that the messenger stammered because of nervousness, everyone knew the cause and effect of all this.

It turned out that King Boleslaw of Poland attacked the border between Bohemia and Poland. The king's offensive was very violent, which forced the Duke of Bohemia to lead his army back to help. The army that was originally scheduled to be sent to Hungary has been ordered retreat.

Faced with such a situation, the German envoys said that they were completely powerless.

Although Bohemia is stronger than nominal vassals such as Poland and Hungary, it is still a relatively independent existence in the imperial system. The Duke of Bohemia has made a decision, and even the emperor cannot change his mind, let alone the current The emperor is still a child sitting on the throne.

Of course, some people will wonder why Boleslaw dared to attack Bohemia since Bohemia was a vassal of the empire. After all, he did not even go to Hungary in person to avoid meeting the emperor.

This is because the hostility between Bohemia and Poland was acquiesced by the imperial monarch. The empire wanted to use Poland to mobilize Bohemia, and Bohemia to mobilize Poland. The war between the parties is the tacit consent of all parties.

Faced with this situation, everyone was also very helpless. Boleslaw's strategy really hit the nail on the head. His attack forced the Bohemian army to retreat to defend their territory.

And without the Czech army, the number of Turin Bianbo's army did not bring them much advantage. Now the coalition forces have a numerical disadvantage against the Duke of Bella, and they have become the disadvantaged side.

Edward remembered the news that the King of Poland had gathered his troops when he was traveling on the land of Poland. At that time, it was rumored that the King of Poland would lead an army to intervene in the south, and most people thought so. In many people's eyes, Poland The king is about to turn his back on the empire completely.

It seems that everyone is confused, this is simply Boleslaw's smacking, and his goal of gathering the army was not Hungary from the beginning.

The king's expression was ugly. He originally planned to give his brother an undeniable fiasco, but now it seems that the one who will lose is likely to be him instead of Bella.

Unfortunately, at this time of panic, many trumpets sounded from the east, and the sound was melodious and vast.

And as time got louder and louder, more and more horns participated, which made everyone's expressions change.

The sounding of so many trumpets means only one thing, and that is the coming of an army, and who else is there in the East?Duke Bella, of course, which means Bella has arrived.

The arrival of Duke Bella caused everyone to panic uncontrollably. With so many reinforcements gone, the rebels arrived early at this moment. Can this really win?

"Everything is quiet!"

At this moment, His Majesty the King roared full of anger, which shocked everyone at this moment, and everyone fell silent, waiting for the king's order.

"Do whatever you want. Prepare to meet the enemy. Bella can't launch a surprise attack now. His troops must have marched in order to arrive early. Bella will not attack with troops marching. We still have Time. And remember, the absence of the Bohemian army does not mean we will lose the war, God bless Hungary."

King Andrew gave the order firmly, exuding an unquestionable momentum, and analyzed the situation for everyone by the way, so that everyone could feel at ease for the time being.

Facing the king's power and reasonable analysis, everyone's hearts were relieved a lot, and then everyone obeyed the king and went to do what they should do. Some people left in a hurry because they knew that some soldiers would Steady now, or something may go wrong.

Just when Edward was about to leave and explain to his subordinates about preparing for the war, he was stopped by the king. At this moment, there were only the two of them in the tent, and when they were alone, the king asked Edward for something.

"Old friend, we need a victory, we need to boost morale, we need to frustrate Bella's spirit, can you achieve it?"

And listening to the king's words, a smile appeared on Edward's face. This is exactly what he is best at, and his troops are in the best condition now, ready to go at any time.

"Of course, my lord."

--------

"Shoot! Shoot!"

Following Edward's order, the Hungarian horse archers seconded from the king fired rounds of arrows, which caught Bella's vanguard by surprise.

Bella's vanguard was composed of the subordinates of the three state governors. They were very surprised by the surprise attack, and it can be said that they were caught off guard.

According to their expectations, the coalition forces should have fallen into chaos due to the retreat of the Bohemian army at this moment, and it was impossible to launch a counterattack against them. However, they took this opportunity to successfully set up their tents and gain a firm foothold.

But the counterattack came, round after round of arrows were shot at the unprepared people, even though the vanguard was protected by iron armor, several people still fell down.

The enraged vanguard began to pursue, they forgot the Duke's order, and they didn't take the Duke's order seriously, and the horse archers also fled, but they still shot and molested the pursuers from time to time.

On the other side of Bella's main force, the Duke of Bella in the army heard the sound of fighting, and a look of confusion appeared on his face. Why did the battle start so early?

The duke, who has always been cautious, immediately sensed that something was wrong, and immediately led the cavalry to the nearby high ground to observe the battlefield.

Then he saw the scene of the vanguard chasing them. They were being lured into a land full of dense forests by a group of horse archers belonging to the king. The forest looked harmless to humans and animals, and it was a forest that can be seen everywhere.

The chasing cavalry couldn't see where they were, but Duke Bella could see it clearly, and at the moment he saw it, he immediately realized that it was going to be bad.

"Come on, this is a trap! Retreat! Retreat!"

The Duke roared, but the sound couldn't get through so far away.

At the moment when he roared, a large number of arrows suddenly shot out from the seemingly harmless woods.

The Magyars who were pursuing obviously did not expect this to happen, and they were caught off guard immediately, and these sudden shots almost stunned them.

In that instant, they suffered a lot of casualties, and those commanders received intensive care, and each of them had several arrows on them.

Then a large number of infantry with pointed helmets rushed out from the forest. They shouted and killed the stunned pursuers. Happily chasing after him.

"asshole!"

Seeing this scene, Duke Bella cursed, but he could only curse, there was nothing he could do about it, and those soldiers didn't chase too far, and they went back after a while.

--------

"Idiot! Bastard! Fool!"

In Duke Bella's camp, the Duke angrily insulted those Magyar nobles who attacked without authorization.

Duke Bella has a face that is naturally mean, and he keeps his lips pursed all the time, and his face is even tighter, with a harsh look, so when standing in front of him, even The most undisciplined are to be held in awe.

The Duke was very angry. These state governors led their own troops to attack without permission, ignoring his instructions, and ended up crashing into the enemy's ambush all the way, causing the troops to suffer a lot of losses, and the morale of the army was also greatly affected.

Now the king's army is putting the defeated's head on the spear, and then showing off their martial arts on the meadow where the decisive battle will be held tomorrow. This makes the Duke feel very annoyed, he feels like he has been slapped in the face.

These nobles who lost their lives are now kneeling in front of the Duke, waiting for the Duke's punishment. Many people are full of fear, for fear that the Duke will chop off their heads.

The Duke of Bella has always been strict in governing the army, and he never relents when he violates orders.

Normally, these state governors still disdain the Duke because of their defection, but now they are afraid at this moment, because the Duke really dares to shame nobles like them.

"Alright, alright, Your Majesty, don't blame us. We all thought that the enemy's army should be in a panic because of the Duke of Bohemia's departure, so everyone couldn't help but relax their vigilance."

The Polish aristocrat Siciech sitting next to him smoothed things over. He was the leader of the Polish army. He had a mustache on his face, his hair was loose behind his head, and he was wearing a blouse, dressed like a typical imperial knight.

And just when the Magyar nobles breathed a sigh of relief at the words of the Polish nobles, the next words made their hearts tighten again.

"However, since their troops suffered heavy casualties, they should be merged into your direct army. What's your opinion?"

For this group of Magyars, this is really just out of the wolf's den and into the tiger's mouth. The soldiers under their hands will not even think about getting it back before the end of this battle.

But looking at the king's bitter face, everyone could only accept this choice. It was better to hand over the soldiers than to behead them. After all, they made such a big mistake, and no one could make an opinion if they beheaded them.

After the group of Magyar nobles left dejectedly, Duke Bella's tense face was relieved. He looked at Sichech and gave him a thankful look.

The Polish nobleman nodded humbly in response, but that was all. After all, he was the commander of the guest army. Although he was crucial to the Duke's power, he still had to keep a distance.

Duke Bella didn't say anything about it, he just called his generals to enter, and now he has to make the battle layout, after all, tomorrow is the day of the battle.
