"That's all you see? Is there anything else? ”

"They just took us to the corner of the barracks, and I only saw so much when I tried to escape."

Hearing this, Dashuai Boyan lowered his gaze and glanced at the hastily drawn drawings. When he raised his head, Da Shuai's eyes were calm, and his tone was also calm, "If that's all there is, you'll be executed." ”

"Why?" The woman was shocked.

"That's not enough information to save the Mongol soldier who messed with you from being killed." The marshal explained flatly, and there was even a hint of pity in his voice, "I can't explain to my army if I kill them and let you go." They will think that I am a general who does not value the lives of the Mongols. ”

After saying this, Marshal Boyan suddenly smiled bitterly, "If there is an afterlife, what you expect to encounter is the Chinese army." As far as I know, they will execute any soldier in their army who rapes a woman, and they will let the woman go. ”

The Italian woman didn't hear the words of the marshal Boyan clearly, and when she understood that she would definitely be killed, her whole heart was ringing and she was completely in despair.

"Kill the scout cavalry who broke military discipline." Marshal Boyan ordered in Mongolian.

The beaten pro-soldiers happily dragged the scout cavalry, and no matter how many cries and cries they wept, they were all dragged to the clearing. The pro-army long knife waved, and several people were in different places. Those Mongolian soldiers who learned the news and came to watch were all felt the ruthlessness of military discipline.

Seeing the execution of the Mongol army, Marshal Boyan ordered: "Call this woman a priest." The reason why she died was not that she did anything wrong. ”

The woman screamed in fright when she saw that several people, including the Mongol soldier who had assaulted her, had been beheaded. Seeing that Boyan Dashuai went straight away, but no knife and axe came to kill her. The woman couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, thinking that maybe Boyan Dashuai was a benevolent person.

Not long after, a priest was seen walking with soldiers. The woman struggled to her feet and saluted the priest who had come to her feet. As soon as she stood up, Mongol troops on both sides immediately came up and dragged her to the place where she had just killed the Mongols. At this time, the Mongolian army, which had come to see the excitement, not only did not disperse, but gathered more.

The woman couldn't help but ask the priest, "Priest, are you here to save me?" ”

The priest shook his head, "Son, I'm here to give you my end." Let's hurry up, the Mongols don't believe in God, and they don't have patience. ”

With that, the priest straightened out his rosary and began to recite his dying prayer.

"My Father in Heaven, I ask you to give me the courage to accept what I cannot change; Give me the strength to change what I can; and give me wisdom to distinguish between the two......"

The woman already knew she was doomed, and she tried to figure out why she had come to this point. Before that, she was just an ordinary girl in a small town. If there must be any reason, it's probably just because her family doesn't have many brothers to protect.

“…… Every day is different, and every moment is worth savoring. Treat suffering as a surefire path to tranquility. Like you, restore the world as it is, and don't impose your own thoughts on it......"

The priest continued to recite his final prayer. In such a war-torn era, this set of things is often read and very skillful. As for the poor girl, the priest could only pretend that she was a seriously ill person who could not move. For the Mongols, human life is like weeds that roam the mountains. Now seeing that the Mongols had already shown impatient expressions, the priest, who had prayed in Latin, sped up his speech.

“…… I'm sure you'll take care of everything, if I do what you want. Then I will live a happy life without hesitation. and will go forward with you in the afterlife. Ah......"

"I curse you!" The woman cursed sharply.

“…… Door. The priest paused in fright, and Amen split it in half before he read it.

"I curse you. Whether it's Italians or Mongols, you deserve a curse. The woman cursed hysterically, "You who were born unrighteous will surely die unjustly." God has seen what you have done, and you ......"

At this point, the voice was abruptly interrupted. Because the Mongolian soldier next to him felt that he couldn't stand the scream, he grabbed the woman's long hair from behind and pulled it back, and the woman couldn't say anything. The Mongolian soldier put the scimitar in his hand on the woman's fully exposed neck, and with a strong slash, the trachea was cut in half, and the major artery in the neck was completely severed.

He kicked the woman in the back, and she fell to the ground. She instinctively tried to cover the wound on her neck with her hands, but to no avail. Because her trachea was cut off, she tried to call for help, but only a faint voice came. Because of the heavy bleeding, the woman quickly convulsed. After a few moments, she stopped moving.

At this time, her murderer had already gone out as if nothing had happened, and the priest was behind him. Killing people seems to be just pinching an ant to death for these people.

In the blink of an eye, it was July 16, 332 of the Great Song Dynasty, and on this day, Marshal Boyan got the news that a mercenary army of about 5,000 people suddenly appeared more than 100 miles to the east. After receiving this news, Marshal Boyan only said, "Tell those Italians that we are going to fight them in a decisive battle." ”

"Did the Italians from the east send us out?" The adjutant couldn't help but ask.

The marshal replied flatly: "If you run more than a hundred miles away, it will take three days to rush back." I think it's because the Italians don't have food, and some people go so far for food. If that's the case, the Italians will be happy to fight us. ”

The situation developed as Marshal Boyan thought, and the envoy he sent to the coalition camp returned the same day. The princes of the Italian coalition expressed their desire for a decisive battle with the Mongols. The letters of engagement sent were signed by the nobles.

"There are a total of eighteen princes who have signed the letter of engagement."

"Anything else that hasn't been signed?" Marshal Boyan asked. He still hoped that the enemy would split, and he dragged it out for two months, just to intensify the internal contradictions between these nobles as much as possible.

The messenger hurriedly replied, "My lord, I have studied heraldry. This time I went to the coalition camp and saw at least twenty-four different family heraldic flags. The letter of engagement bears the signature of the baron, and the coats of arms of several counts appear, but they do not sign. ”

"Could it be that someone is impersonating them?" The adjutant asked.

The Emissary hurriedly shook his head, "These coats of arms need to be made extremely delicately. As far as we know, those flags were orders placed in the Great Song Dynasty, using silk fabrics and extremely delicate embroidery. It is said that only the Great Song Dynasty can create such a thin needle. If you don't look at that kind of flag, you can't tell that it's embroidered at all. If it was an imitation, it would definitely not be so exquisite. ”

Boyan Dashuai didn't believe in such a judgment, he knew that the Da Song embroidery industry had been receiving all kinds of customized embroidery products for a long time. After thousands of miles to Europa, the price is much lower than the local one, so the handsome can't rule out the possibility that someone has long wanted to do ghosts.

But Boyan didn't say anything. That's what happens on the battlefield, and you don't know what's going to happen until there's actually a fight.

On July 25, 332 of the Great Song Dynasty, the two warring sides officially met. Any battlefield is a situation in which both sides agree, and the battlefield of this decisive battle is a basin, and the Mongol and Italian armies each occupy the high ground on one side of the basin.

The Mongol army on the side of Marshal Boyan had more than 55,000 men, and according to reconnaissance, the number of enemies on the opposite side was about 35,000 to 45,000. The adjutant general sighed: "Marshal, I didn't expect these Italian barbarians to know how to protect the flanks." ”

The adjutant general had just received a report from the reconnaissance cavalry that the coalition forces were well protected on both sides, and the Mongol cavalry had not been able to penetrate them.

"Since they've put so much effort into protecting the sides, what are they left on the front?" Marshal Boyan asked in a questioning tone. However, this is not to question the lieutenant general, Marshal Boyan quickly understands that those rabble, they are not capable of achieving an effective layout, so they will adopt a very extreme formation.

At this moment, a small group of men and horses came out of the enemy formation on the opposite side. They rode their horses around the middle line of the two arrays, clearly coming to challenge. I saw those people wrapped in armor, riding war horses in chain mail, and holding two or three meters long riding spears in their hands. This runs and gives people a lot of pressure.

Seeing this situation, the young generals beside Boyan couldn't help it. They asked, "Do you want us to teach them a lesson?" ”

Marshal Boyan was very satisfied with the young man's energy, and he ordered: "Go." ”

The young generals played, and Marshal Boyan did not watch the game. He called the herald and ordered the gun array to prepare for departure. No matter what kind of strength the other side is, the gun array can easily expose their true colors. At this time, he heard that the war drums had rumbled in front of the battle, and Marshal Boyan took the time to look at the battlefield of heads-up, but saw that the two sides were hedging. The solid wood-pole lance used by the Mongol generals was much shorter than that of the Italian coalition, and it was generally believed that this gun would be more agile, and it was seen that a single block could block the enemy's huge hollow lance several meters long.

But I didn't expect that the other party's knights were really good at their work. Seeing the Mongolian general come up to block, he quickly stabbed out after withdrawing his arm, and the huge spear deftly avoided the block, and the tip of the spear smoothly stabbed the Mongolian general's abdomen, and then stabbed deeply. Because the barrel of the gun is hollow, it breaks quickly after exceeding a certain force. The horses of both sides staggered, and the Mongolian general ran out not far before he fell off his horse weakly. At this moment, there was an earth-shattering cheer in the camp of the Italian coalition forces. It can be seen that the morale of the enemy has been greatly boosted.

didn't wait for Boyan to react, he listened to the drum sound on the other side. Soon, a neat line of pikemen appeared on the slope of the edge of the basin occupied by the enemy on the opposite side, and they marched in a neat manner towards the troops of Marshal Boyan. Seeing that the enemy reacted so quickly, Marshal Boyan could only order his spear team to set off.

Phalanxes magically emerged from the dirt slope behind the basin, and then stepped across the dirt slope towards the plain in the middle of the basin. It didn't take long for the fighters on both sides to be able to clearly see the faces of the soldiers on the other side. I don't know who shouted first, and the spearmen at the front rushed towards the enemy. A moment later, with the sound of a fierce collision, the battle began.
