Chapter 155: Go up the mountain to suppress bandits
The sound of breaking the sky continued one after another, and more than a dozen Bolgars were instantly shot into hedgehogs by crossbows.
The mountains were all over the field, the shouts of killing continued, and the Swiss mercenaries were holding halberds and rushing over with great momentum.
A young man, dressed in pale gold armor, holding a short sword in one hand and a round shield in the other, mixed in the crowd to kill the enemy.
Not far away, a two-meter-tall giantess brandished a big sword in her hand and cut the ragged guys into two.
Two old men, one on the left and one on the right, were on either side of the giantess, and they seemed to kill people as little as chickens.
"Robbers! Take your life! ”
"Scum! Go to hell! ”
"I will judge you on behalf of justice!"
A young man in a red robe, the enemy did not kill much, but the movement was quite large, as if he wanted to arouse the giantess's idea.
And on the outermost periphery, an old man with a lofty spirit watched all this silently, followed by a lame man.
Tepes, Amanda, Batori, Fred, Wawrinka, all of them were present, and the five thousand soldiers they brought with them were the siege of the Bolgar garrison.
Belba, who was cleaning up the gold and silver, was attacked without warning and was beaten in a daze.
In fact, even if he is well prepared, it will only end up being a one-sided crush.
Elite mercenaries, besieging guerrillas who are not fully armed, and in less than ten minutes, the battle is over.
More than 200 Bolgars were killed on the spot, almost all of them young men and women.
With no way to escape, the rest of the people can only be captured.
Of course, there were also people who gave recalcitrant resistance, and Belba and about 30 of his men retreated into a tall stone house.
This is the defensive offensive established decades ago by Belba's father's generation when they first settled in the mountains.
Seeing the other party, he had become a turtle in an urn, and Tsepeshi was not in a hurry.
He wiped the blood from his sword, and then commanded the mercenary:
"Send all the captured Wallachian people to a safe place, take the rest into custody, and behead those who resist."
The sound spread throughout the camp, and after a short period of stunned silence, some wept with joy, some cried heartbreakingly, and some sat on the ground and wept silently.
They know that they are saved, but they don't know how to face their future lives.
In the same way, the Bolgars, who have given up resistance, do not know what their future will be.
At this time, an old woman, weeping, spoke:
"My lord, I am a Wallachian, and more than thirty years ago, I was snatched up in the mountains.
Here I am, having given birth to six sons, and I don't know how many died in the battle just now.
I beg you to allow me to leave with my surviving sons and grandchildren, and I beg for your mercy. ”
When the bitter old woman had finished speaking her plea, she knelt on the mountain covered with pebbles and slammed her forehead to the ground.
It is not difficult to see that she has integrated here, and her children and grandchildren have become one of the perpetrators.
The problem is very tricky, and there will definitely be some family situations like the old woman.
Sure enough, several older women came forward, and some even said that their deceased mother was Wallachian.
The scene was a bit chaotic, but Tsepes always maintained a high-minded and majestic expression, he was not brutal, but he would never relent.
"I'm sorry for not being able to protect you, and on behalf of the Basarab family, I apologize to you."
Tsepes's tone softened slightly, but immediately changed the tone and continued:
"I promise that I will let you live the rest of your life in comfort, even if you are not accompanied by your loved ones."
The answer was very vague, and several old people did not react immediately, and the mercenaries acted immediately.
The more than 700 Bolgars who survived for the time being had their hands tied to long ropes, each of which bound fifty men.
Several old women kneeling on the ground also reacted at this time, they wanted to continue to plead, but they were forcibly taken to a safe area by mercenaries.
Pleas are of no avail, rebellion is a dead end, and people can only obey Tsepes's arrangement.
Among them, women and children who did not cause harm to Wallachia will eventually survive, and the rest will be sent to the gallows.
The Bolgar guerrillas, who have been evil in Wallachia for decades, believe that the people of Wallachia must be looking forward to seeing hundreds of people hanged.
A part of the men was assigned to deal with the captives, while others surrounded Belba's gang and the recalcitrant stone buildings.
Inside the house, Belba didn't dare to blink, always observing the dynamics outside.
At this moment, his mood had completely collapsed, and driven by the desire to survive, he couldn't help but shout through the lookout hole.
"Adults outside! We are willing to surrender! Willing to take root in Wallachia and fight the Ottomans together! ”
Knowing that there was no chance, Belba was still cheeky and made the last struggle.
The result was clear, at no time would Tepes accept the surrender of this group of thugs.
A week earlier, he had left Bucharest with his men to go to Cravayo to discuss the defensive arrangements with von Fred before returning to Targoviste.
As a result, on the way, I encountered more than a dozen corpses in a miserable state, and after examination, they were all villagers from a small nearby village who went to the town to buy.
By all indications, the murderers of this tragedy were the damned Bolgar guerrillas.
Tsepes was furious, the Ottomans were defeated, and the people of Wallachia were spared the scourge of war, but their own people died at the hands of the Bolgars.
All this time, Cepes ignored these guys, and now they must not be allowed to do anything wrong.
With all the manpower and material resources mobilized, it is easy to find clues and determine the general area where the gangsters are located.
The biggest barrier for the Bolgar partisans is the complex geography of the Carpathians.
In Switzerland, sixty percent of the mountainous area is located, and most of the Swiss mercenaries grew up in ravines.
5,000 mercenaries, 3,000 people, began to feel the general area of the lockdown.
After a few days, the position of Belba's guerrilla group was locked, and the mercenaries quietly surrounded him.
So, with the initial scene, it was destined that Belba's group of people would have no way to escape to Bulgaria.
Here and now, with the sound of sonorous footsteps, thousands of soldiers approached the stone building.
In order to prevent the other party from injuring people with crossbow arrows, the mercenaries removed many door panels in the Bolgar camp and used them as shields to open the way at the front.
Tepesh, Amanda and the others were at the forefront of the group, and they would follow the mercenaries who opened the way into the narrow stone passage.
Against civilians, these thugs are like demons, and against the regular army, they are just a bunch of little chicks, even if they are protected by a chicken coop, they are vulnerable.
Tsepeš threw away his round shield and charged through the passage with a short sword in hand, and a stubble-faced fellow had his throat cut in utter terror.
Belba was reluctant to die, and Tsepeš kicked his body open and continued to reap the lives of his enemies.
The giant never paid attention to the name of the bug that trampled to death, even if it was the ugliest.
