Fort Nico, the blackstone city wall that has experienced countless wars, has been carved out of the wall in rows of openings.

Arm-thick steel cables are wound between the gaps, and the other end of the steel cable is tied to a large livestock.

One by one, the whip fell and was drawn on the livestock, and the healthy horses and wild cattle used their strength to feed.

The heavy steel rope was immediately straightened, and the ancient city wall, which was already full of holes, became crumbling.

After stubbornly persisting for a few minutes, the walls gave up their last resistance, and collapsed one after another.

Fifty years ago, the Ottomans fought for years before they succeeded in conquering the area.

Fifty years from now, in just a few days, it will be in ruins.

The demolition work was carried out in an orderly manner, and a middle-aged man with a lame leg was running around to command.

Of course, the looting work must not be delayed, gold, silver, grain and grass, livestock, ordnance, even the broken skins cut from the saddle.

"Hurry up, I'm afraid the Ottomans have received the news and will be able to rush back in two or three days."

A man of about fifty years old, full of momentum in his gestures, stands in the center of the ancient castle, coordinating the overall situation.

The lame man walked up to him and said in a very respectful tone:

"Captain Fred, the trucks are full, do you want to transport them first?"

"You don't need to ask me for instructions on trivial matters like these, they're all your job.

Wawrinka, as the number two in the mercenary group, you should be more confident. ”

Feng. Fred, Wawrinka's mercenary head hired by order of Tsepeš with a high salary.

As a young man, he was a member of the Dragon Knights of the Holy Roman Empire, and later returned to his native Switzerland, where he formed a mercenary group after years of hard work.

It's just that because of the intensification of the contradictions between the Holy Roman Empire and the Swiss Republic, he finally chose to go into seclusion.

Wawrinka returned to Switzerland and recruited a second group of mercenaries, while finding von Murray. Fred, ask him to be your guide.

Originally, Fred wanted to stay away from all kinds of disputes and stay in the manor for retirement.

But when he heard that the employer was the Grand Duke of Wallachia, he took the job without hesitation.

Tsepes's father, Grand Duke Vlad II of the Dragon, was also a member of the Knights of the Dragon.

And with von. Fred, who crossed paths more than thirty years ago.

And this, in von. In Fred's opinion, it was fate that had arranged it a long time ago.

So he put on his armor again, hung his sword, and took Wawrinka and two thousand two hundred mercenaries with him, and came to Wallachia.

Before arriving in Targoviste, Cepes had two blank contracts and a secret plan.

Feng. Fred did not hesitate, signed both contracts, and then acted according to the secret plan.

The mercenary group, guided by a guide, arrived at the military fortress of Craiova, avoiding all villages and towns along the way.

Halfway through, Baron Karl took his men and hid in the shadows to follow the mercenary group and kill all the guys who might be spies.

In this way, a powerful force, like a ghost, lurked on the side of the Ottomans.

And the Ottomans, induced by Tepes, put all their attention on Bucharest, not at all noticed.

When the Ottoman army, leaving Fort Nico, went to Bucharest, the mercenaries who were ambushing in Craiova began to act covertly.

In peacetime, Fort Nico's garrison was 2,000 and its defense was tight, and the surrounding mountains and Jak could be supported at any time.

However, because of the initiative, the permanent troops were transferred 1,500 people, and the surrounding Shanjak was also in a state of emptiness.

Of course, Fort Nico's fortified terrain made it difficult for even five hundred defenders to break through in a short period of time.

But the defenders could not have imagined that they would be attacked, and they were caught off guard and unprepared.

On a dark and windy night, more than a dozen skilled mercenaries sneaked into the fortress and took the city gate, and more than 2,000 people waiting outside the city swarmed in.

Of the five hundred Ottoman defenders, none survived, and on the mercenary side, two hundred and thirty were killed and one hundred and forty wounded.

Two days after taking Fort Nico, there was a scene at this time.

Here, surrounded by Ottoman territory, a lonely fortress hanging overseas, no matter how strong it is, it cannot be defended.

Therefore, in Tsepesh's plan, arrangements have been made a long time ago, and since it can't be kept, it is better to destroy it.

Everything of value was taken away, leaving the Ottomans in ruins.

There is no doubt that this is a victory that will go down in history.

Fort Niko, the place where the last great crusade failed, a disgrace to the entire European continent.

It is enough to see how significant it is to destroy Fort Nico.

More than two thousand mercenaries, as direct participants in the event, felt extremely proud.

Feng. Fred and Wawrinka, as the direct commanders of the events, will spread throughout Europe.

Vlad III Tepes, as the architect behind the scenes, is even more praised as a legend.

The kings of all countries threw olive branches and were willing to marry their most beloved daughters to Wallachia.

The Ecumenical Patriarch and the Pope also sent letters of commendation, wanting to tie Tsepes into their camp.

……

Bucharest, the main camp of the Ottoman army, a group of generals looked at the unrolled map with heavy faces.

The various routes, marked on the map, relied on the mode of powerful cavalry sweeping, completely failed in this battle.

Bucharest, one hundred and twenty kilometers from Nicoburg, and Craiova, is about one hundred and twenty kilometers away.

It is only fifty or sixty kilometers away from the ancient city of Carratis.

Unbeknownst to them, Fort Nico's demolition had been carried out and discussions were underway on how to distribute the forces.

"Your Royal Highness, send five thousand rangers to Calatis, and the rest of the men and horses will all return to Fort Niko, which is the safest for now."

"No, Calatis is too close to Bucharest, and if you divide your troops, I'm afraid you will be surrounded and suppressed."

"Fort Nico is very important, we should send the vanguard first, and rush back in the starry night!"

……

The situation changed too quickly, the Ottomans panicked, and it was difficult to get unity of opinion.

Mehmed II, with bloodshot eyes, stared at the map on the ground.

He couldn't understand why a battle that was supposed to be an experience was so embarrassing.

After a long time, the noisy voices of the generals stopped, and he said in a hoarse voice:

"After the 10,000 rangers were broken, they hurried back to Fort Niko, and the ancient city of Callatis was temporarily abandoned."

The choice was a bit frustrating, but it was the safest, and Mehmed II knew that he must not make a mistake again

Tens of thousands of troops, who had come to Bucharest for a few days of vacation, were about to return from camp.

However, this is the territory of Wallachia, and it is not so easy to come and go as you want.

The movement of tens of thousands of troops, the traces could not be more obvious, and soon the news was reported to Cepes.

"After a few days of rest, it's time to harden up!"

Tsepes said with a big smile.
