Chapter 16: The Crisis in the Small Town of Bonaroti

"The number of rebels is about 150, if I go with 100 young men to rescue Lord Earl, the problem should not be very big, the safety of the manor can be the responsibility of His Royal Highness Prince Ernst."

Old Bazzari's proposal, Bert agreed, and Countess Mosetti agreed, and when he saw their appearance, Ernst finally nodded in agreement.

All three agreed but had completely different ideas, Bert's idea was very simple, not to let Ernst take the risk, after all, if the other party was the first to ambush, then there was a great possibility of total annihilation.

Countess Mosetti, on the other hand, simply felt that Ernst could not be involved in this matter, especially in such a dangerous matter. If there is any danger, it is one thing for the Bonaroti family to be unable to account to Austria-Hungary, and the family's honor will be damaged.

Old Bazzari's idea coincides with Ernst, the real danger is the manor instead of rescuing Count Bonarroti, in terms of strength, the 100 young people in the hands of old Bazali can play a limited role, and the more than 100 guards in the hands of Ernst are completely different.

"But I really don't have confidence in the young people of Bonaroti, and I'm sorry that I said that about old Mr. Bazali."

"It's okay, you're telling the truth, His Royal Highness Prince Ernst."

"So, Bert, you send a few guards with the old Bazali, and I'm sure the old Bazali needs some experienced officers too!"

"Thank you very much!"

Old Bazzali stooped down to thank him, but Bert had a different opinion, and he thought it better to stay with Ernst.

"If you don't want to, then I can let Kurt replace you."

A sentence blocked Bert, who wanted to speak, Bert was also worried about Ernst's safety, he knew that Kurt was more secure in this regard, after all, he was only an attendant officer and not a guard officer.

The matter was thus decided, because of the urgency of time, after the decision was made, the old Bazali and Bert prepared to leave, and at this time the Countess of Mosetti remembered the situation in the small town of Bonarotti, and called the old Bazali and Bert, who were about to leave, and couldn't help asking: "The safety of the town ......"

Hearing this, the old Bazali smiled: "Major Andrei is very powerful, there is no problem with the safety of the town with them, and the matter of Count Bonarroti makes Mr. Mayor very worried, so he arranged for us to come over." ”

"Thank you, thank you guys."

Drawing a cross, the Countess Mosetti thanked her, to which old Bazali bowed and then left with Bert to the place where the young men were resting.

100 places where youth rest:

Looking at this group of young people whose faces were still a little immature but full of enthusiasm, Bert seemed to be infected, and his inner dissatisfaction was temporarily put aside, and several guards quickly selected their own soldiers to serve as warrant officer platoon commanders and sergeant majors (sergeants).

Bert looked at the time, it was 6:25, and turned his gaze back to old Bazali, who understood what he meant and nodded that he could go at any time.

"Line up! Target...... Florence! Let's go! ”

After all, after some training, the formation was barely qualified, and then a group of more than 100 people headed towards the place where Count Bonaroti was attacked.

Countess Mosetti, who had been watching the situation outside in front of the window, saw the young men of the town disappearing into the foggy night, and could not help but look back at Ernst.

"There's going to be an attack here tonight?"

"If the other party's purpose is to enrich and fight the Bonaroti family, then they will definitely come over tonight."

Ernst's attitude was very serious and determined, which made the Countess of Mosetti a little alarmed, and glanced upstairs at Mara and Adeline's bedroom to say something, but opened her mouth very hesitantly.

Ernst, who understood what she was trying to say, shook his head and said, "I cannot guarantee the safety of anyone, Mrs. Mosetti, not even myself. ”

"I'm sorry, His Royal Highness Prince Ernst."

"I can understand your feelings, Mrs. Mosetti."

Touch!

Kurt's figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Our soldiers on the trail have spotted traces of cavalry, numbering about 120 people, and are now heading towards here, and it is estimated that they will arrive here in 15 minutes."

Swish!

Ernst and Countess Mosetti stood up together, but their expressions were completely different, Ernst was expecting and Countess Mosetti was panicking.

"Madame Mosetti, leave the matter here to us, remember one thing, no matter what happens, don't leave the room, Mara and Adeline I will arrange for the maids of the manor to watch and not let them run around."

The Countess of Mosetti understood that there was nothing to be done here and would only disrupt Ernst's rhythm, so she nodded and turned to leave, glancing at Kurt, who understood what Ernst meant and left directly to prepare for the pre-battle arrangements.

At the same time, on the road to the town and manor of Bonarroti, a cavalry team of more than 100 people was advancing rapidly, and if the Florentine magistrate was here, then he would have been able to recognize them as the descendants of the Italian nobles of the Napoleonic period, who were wanted by the Kingdom of Italy.

The descendants of the Italian aristocracy of the Napoleonic period had rebelled during the reign of Napoleon III of France, and they wanted Italy to return to the rule of the Napoleonic family.

Of course, such a rebellion ended in failure, especially as France returned to the republic and the Kingdom of Italy began to arrest them, and the descendants of these nobles had been on the run for nearly thirty years.

"Masséna, I suggest a tentative attack on the town of Bonaroti, and don't forget that there is a bank and a lot of guns in the town."

The descendant of the nobleman named Massena smiled helplessly when he heard this, he had been disturbed many times along the way, but the town of Bonaroti was so easy to attack?

Seeing that Massena was about to speak, the young nobleman who had just spoken hurriedly said: "It should be the young people of Bonaroti Town that have just passed, and it is most appropriate to attack Bonaroti Town now." ”

Massena was stunned for a moment, and then asked very seriously: "Pierre, are you sure that you are a young man in the small town of Bonaroti and not a servant in the manor?" ”

Seeing that his friend didn't believe him, Pierre was very aggrieved: "Of course, one of them is a telegraph operator at the post office in the town, I have met him several times, and he will never go wrong." ”

Does the other party know about my plan?

Massena suddenly had doubts in his heart, but then he felt that it was unlikely, because in this way the town's defenses would be cut down a lot, and his purpose would still be achieved.

Despite this, Massena knew that this was the best way to go, after all, if there was a choice between a small town and a manor, then the choice of the Bonarroti family was unquestionable. The only thing that puzzled Massena was how the Bonaroti family persuaded the young men of the town to abandon the safety of the town to rescue the Count of Bonarroti.

Misheine's ill-informed situation led to Masséna's inevitable defeat, and if he had known that Ernst was a guest of the Bonaroti family and that he had hundreds of elite guards, he would not have come to attack today.

"To the town of Bonaroti!"

Pierre was very happy to hear this, because for the first time in such a long time, Massena chose to respect his opinion.

While Ernst waited for the enemy to arrive and André was worried about the manor, Massena and his army were quietly approaching the town of Bonaroti, where a crisis was imminent.
