Chapter 232: Plintina's Attack and Defense (Part II)

Behind the Prindina Heights, there was almost a cliff, and the steepest place was even perpendicular to the ground, and only a dozen or so people could attack at the same time each time they concentrated on attacking.

This kind of tactical width can make it especially difficult to attack.

If you want to break through the fence, the numerical advantage will be kept to a minimum. Not only does the Imperial Legion need a steady stream of powerful firepower from arrows, but it also needs to keep a certain number of troops within the fence in the shortest possible time, so that the follow-up troops can keep up and completely defeat the defenders.

"If the intelligence is confirmed, there is no suspense of victory or defeat in this battle, the only suspense should be how long it will take to capture such a simple wooden fortress structure. Don't keep me waiting, we have new work to do after we take the Princeina Heights. Angelo glanced up at the rebel camp, "After all, the Printina Heights have limited strategic value, and what we want most is Fort Hamidi. If we want to join forces with Hunyadi, we'll have to hurry up. This rain has been wasting us for a long time. ”

"General Angelo, are you going to continue after taking the Pritina Heights......"

"The Holy See Guard has set aside 3,000 men under Fort Hamidi, and I'm afraid even we don't believe that we can gnaw on Fort Hamidi, but it's just ......"

As soon as Angelo gave the order, the army that was lying in ambush around Fort Hamidi attacked.

"Rush forward!"

With only 200 defenders, it was difficult to completely fill the fence, and the Empire attacked the Prindina Heights by climbing the mountain wall, and when the infantry of the Holy See Guard climbed over the fence, the rebels in the camp did not even react.

Everyone believed that the Imperial army would do everything they could to attack Fort Hamidi, and no one would have guessed that the assault on Fort Hamidi was merely a feint to attract the garrisons of the Pritina Heights.

Of course, Angelo did not let his guard down because of the temporary advantage, and all the troops pressed in the shortest possible time. The successive climbs, combined with the excellent combat effectiveness of the Holy See Guard, made it almost impossible for the Serbian rebels to regain the initiative in the fence.

"Rush in and empty the entire high ground of all enemies!"

……

"General Hunyadi, the Romans are in a hurry."

After Hungary was officially crowned regent of the Kingdom of Hungary, it still carried out the dazzling prestige of the White Knight. Rather than using his power for personal gain, he redirected all of his family wealth, state taxes, and taxes from the Ottomans after the defeat in the Balkans.

After a period of repair, Hungary once again possessed a military strength that could not be underestimated, and Hunyaldi personally led 15,000 troops to attack this time alone. The intention is quite obvious, that is, to give the rebels no chance. And after such an armed counterinsurgency, I am afraid that the Triple Alliance will invariably change its policy towards Serbia - since such modest means cannot stop the rebellion, then take the other extreme.

"Rush from the Romans?"

Hunyati glanced at him twice, and couldn't help laughing: "What's this, Angelo, I really have a lot of ideas." ”

"Angelo?" The clerk who followed behind him raised his head, "Your Majesty, I don't seem to have heard you mention this person, who is that?" ”

"It is said that the new Supreme Commander of the Holy See. John Palaiologos and the Roman army suffered a defeat in Athens, and almost the entire city of Athens was destroyed. "I only heard about it recently. The Roman Empire was turned upside down by this defeat, and it seemed that the economic center of gravity of the entire Greek region was shifting on a large scale, and the empire was reorganized with many core military groups. The first is the dismissal of Publius, who made a huge mistake in the defense of Athens and caused the co-emperor John to be seriously injured, and this Angelo is the current supreme commander of the Holy See. However, it is strange that the Romans, after suffering such a severe blow to the economy, actually recruited an additional legion......"

"The Romans did need more troops to deal with the threat from the Ottomans. At present, we still need to maintain an unbreakable alliance with Rome, we need to go west, fight against the so-called Holy Empire, and we need the Romans to help us ensure the security of the East. To the west of the Sea of Marmara, there can be only one force, and that is Palaio. Only in this way can the fragile Hungary survive it. "The Registrar made a fairly pertinent assessment.

Hungary doesn't seem to have to rely on the Romans for its size, but if this barrier were broken, no one would dare to imagine who else would be able to hold back the Ottomans.

The shadow of Varna is not something that can be forgotten by a big victory.

"Then Your Majesty, what does this Mr. Angelo's letter say?"

"He made us ...... Be sure to abandon the attack on cities like Belgrade and Smederevo. Hunyadi handed the letter to the clerk, "This one, Angelo, has a completely different way of thinking than we do. And I seem to know his true purpose......"

"What do you mean?"

"Definitely. If our two countries ...... Oh, and Djerj's coalition forces smashed the Yellow Dragon and stormed Smederevo, with the cooperation of firearms, Smederevo's city defense really couldn't last that long. It is likely that we will directly destroy the heart of the rebels and capture the leaders of the rebels. But not to mention the direct attack on the heart of Serbia, how much risk we need to take on the march. After all, the terrain here is very suitable for ambushes. What's more important is why the rebels are like powder kegs and spread so quickly. The rebel leaders took advantage of the Serbian people's resistance to the rule of the Triple Alliance. Although Serbia is not large, the national self-esteem of the people is still very strong. Hunyadi grasped the hilt of his sword and took the reins of the white horse, "In that case, we will use the whole territory to conquer the whole territory to completely smooth the edges and corners of this group of self-proclaimed and arrogant Serbs!" ”

"Conquest?"

"Leave no face, no possibility of resistance!"

……

The Serbian rebels resisted a little more than Angelo could have imagined.

But only a hint of it.

When the Holy See Guards swarmed in and seized the entire fortress, the rebels, mainly peasants, had to be disarmed, no matter how dignified they were.

The amount of food stored in the camp in Printina is quite exaggerated. The special granary occupies a large area of the camp.

"Looks like they're really going to fight us to the death? Merely...... Even if it's a strong wall...... Where did the rebels get so many resources......"
