Busako once again cast his gaze on Alexander in front of him, and he had looked at Alexander's back more than once along the way, each time considering whether to do what Gompati said.

The closer he got to Pisa, the more worried Busako became.

Along the way, they had already heard about the Genoese, and sure enough, as Ofleiyi had guessed, the Genoese were moving in the direction of Pisa.

At first, both Alexandria and Busacko were somewhat lucky, believing that the Genoese had only marched in the direction of Pisa by coincidence, and perhaps the next moment they would hear the news that they had changed their route.

But it soon became clear to everyone that the idea was too optimistic, and it was evident from the Genoese route that they were aiming exclusively at Pisa, and from the information heard along the way, it was clear that Cardino had made up his mind and was moving towards Pisa at a much faster pace than an ordinary army.

This broke the last chance once and for all, and Alexander ordered the huntsmen to speed up, and at the same time he ordered the Bohemians to divide into small groups and advance as far as they could in the Genoese route, with the assurance that they could be connected.

Alexander certainly did not hope that the Bohemian cavalry would be able to intercept the Genoese advance, but he still hoped to cause some disturbance to the Genoese if possible.

So he gave orders to the Bohemians and made heavy promises to them.

"I am very satisfied with your previous service," Alexander said to the Bohemian captains, "you are the most dutiful soldiers I have ever met, I promised you the land before, and now I give you more promises, harass the Genoese so that they cannot enter Pisa, and then wait for my arrival, and I will repay you for all that you have done for me, and I promise you that if you succeed I will give you the land that you can inherit, so that your family can have the right to own that land forever." ”

Alexander was in a state of emotion at that time, and the excitement of the Bohemians caused by his words was even greater.

Because of this, the characteristic shouts of the Bohemians hovered over the heads of the hunters, as if to announce it to the hunters repeatedly.

If the Agri were at odds with the armies of the rest of Montina, the hunters and the Bohemians were forever at odds with each other.

Similar classes and the same duties made them rivals on the battlefield, and Bohemians and hunters could always be seen rushing in the same direction whenever the horn of the cavalry charge sounded.

Now the bohemians seem to have finally grabbed a bigger opportunity.

The Bohemians quickly disappeared into the front, seemingly taking away Alexander's anxious mind as well.

He eagerly asked the hunters to speed up their march, knowing that even if the Bohemians discovered the Genoese, it was unlikely that they would have much chance of pestering them.

Cardino was a difficult opponent, and his resolute and aggressive personality had caused Alexander a lot of problems, and he did not believe that the Bohemians alone could hold Cargino's advance back, and perhaps he would advance more quickly towards Pisa after finding himself chasing after him.

Because of this, Alexander was even more anxious to find Cargino.

And Alexander's anxiety is precisely what Busako fears the most.

Busacco hoped that the Bohemians had not found the Genoese, not out of jealousy, but because he was afraid that Alexander would be desperate to go to war with the Genoese once he received the news, and if that was the case, he would have to do what Gompati said.

But what worried Busako finally happened.

In the afternoon of the day after the Bohemians left, a Bohemian soldier brought the news that they had just discovered the Genoese traces.

And this is obviously bad news, because the Genoese have arrived very close to Pisa.

The Bohemians did not rush to attack, they were not cowardly, but waited for an opportunity.

According to the scout's observations, the Genoese army, which had been preparing to stop, seemed to be ready to start again, which made the Bohemians, who were already preparing for the attack, stop.

It was obviously more convenient to attack the enemy who was on the march than to attack the enemy who had already established a camp, and that is why the Bohemians decided to wait a little longer.

Although anxious, Alexander admitted that the Bohemians were not wrong, and that his original purpose was to block the Genoese advance, and if there was a better opportunity, he would not let it go.

"How far are the Genoese from Pisa, and where are they?" Alexander asked the soldier who was reporting the message.

At the same time, he had already pulled up the map he had brought with him, which, though sketchy, was already the most detailed map of Tuscany he could master.

"About less than 10 fats," said the bohemia, and then drew a cursory circle on the map, and saw Alexander frown, and the bohemian made it a little difficult to identify, and then pointed to a place with some uncertainty and hesitantly said, "Probably right here." ”

Alexander nodded helplessly, knowing that it would be difficult to expect these Bohemians to be able to accurately identify maps, or that there were no real professional scouts at all in this era.

As a result of the light cavalry as scouts, they can often only inquire about some rough information, but cannot provide accurate information.

But even so, Alexander had a rough idea of where the Genoese were.

According to the map, the Genoese is near the left bank of the Arno River, on the left between him and Pisa.

Alexandria, Genoese and Pisa, on the other hand, vaguely form an irregular triangle.

It should have been a good idea to go straight to Pisa, but Alexander, although anxious, was not completely dazed by panic.

He knew that if he went straight to Pisa, he might probably collide with the main Genoese force on the way, and worse, if he went to Pisa blindly and was unlucky enough to be intercepted by the Genoese, then he probably didn't even have a chance to get rid of it.

Therefore, he could only look for traces of the Genoese along the way, and then hoped to use the rapid advantage of his cavalry to stop the Genoese as much as possible in exchange for the arrival of his main force.

Now it seems that this decision was the right one.

"Tell the hunters that we have something to do." As he commanded, Alexander drew a musket from the pouch on the side of the saddle and looked at it, then took out a freshly ground flint from the leather pouch next to him and prepared to replace it with an anvil.

Busako finally quietly glanced at the hunters next to him who had already greeted him in advance, and saw several people quietly approaching Alexander under his hint, Busako licked his lips and slowly led the horse towards Alexander.

"Don't do anything stupid, Busako." Alexander, who was bowing his head and fiddling with his musket, suddenly said.

Then, when Busako was stunned for a moment, Alexander's musket had been raised and aimed at his chest.

Busako froze for a moment, staring at the musket that was almost on his breastplate, and then slowly raised his head and looked at Alexander with a stunned face.

"I've been guessing when you're going to do it, and then I'm guessing that you'll find the Genoese."

"Please don't get me wrong, I just don't want you to take the risk."

"I know that if you hadn't been faithful, you'd be dead by this time."

Looking at the captain of the guard, Alexander shook his head a little helplessly.

"Busako, do you think I can't guess that Gompati has some bad idea for you? You know, in the eyes of both him and Oflei, maybe Lucrezia is only my mistress no matter how important she is, even if she is the Pope's daughter, and they may also think that because she is the Pope's daughter, they don't have to worry about her and Estelles's safety, because Cargino would never dare to hurt them, am I right? ”

Busako wanted to shake his head, but for some reason he couldn't help but nod his head, maybe he thought so in his heart.

"So you don't know me, I don't blame you for this, but if you dare to harm me, I won't forgive you."

Alexander threw his musket at Busako as he spoke, flicking the reins and rushing forward with the hissing of Pagassos.

"Captain, what now?" A hunter came up and asked, a little dazed.

"Get ready, it looks like we're really going to pray for heaven this time." Busako whispered in an angry voice, and quickly led the horse to chase after Alexander.

"Hunters, keep up with me!"

At the front of the line, Alexander took the flag from the flag bearer's hand, and after raising the rear flag high, he pointed the crown of spear at the top of the spear forward.

"Hunters, keep up with your lords!"

Busako gritted his teeth and shouted, the embarrassment of having been recognized by Alexander also made him feel uneasy, he didn't know if Alexander would stop trusting him because of this, you must know that it was because he was the captain of the huntsmen, and his family was respected more than anyone else in Agri, according to some of the fellows who brought news from Agri, the Busako family was already a big man in Agri.

Once the trust in a person is shaken, a rift is likely to appear, and the thought of the possibility of losing Alexander's trust makes Busako anxious and chagrined, and the only thing he can do now is to try to protect Alexander while being more brave and adventurous in the following battles.

Only then will there be a chance to regain Alexander's trust.

"There may be a fierce battle ahead," Alexander said, looking at the chasseurs, "I will allow you to retreat in the event of a frontal attack from the enemy, but I ask you to go into battle again once you have regrouped, our purpose is not to engage the enemy directly but to delay their movement as much as possible, and if necessary, the respective squads can act alone, but it is important to remember that your task is to hold back the Genoese by all means and wait for the arrival of our main force." ”

The hunters gasped slightly, this was the first time Alexander had told them to allow them to retreat, and every time he had attacked before, Alexander had encouraged them to attack the enemy with determination and determination.

Because of this, the hunters and guards were deeply aware that this battle seemed to have an extraordinary meaning for the lord lord.

"If any of us die, including myself, we will bring the news of our fallen comrades back to Agri, so that all the Agri know the names, and let them know that it is these sacrifices that make the reputation of the Agri soldiers known," Alexander cried out, "and if we survive, then I promise you that you will be the most respectable soldiers, in addition to a good reward, and we will thank God for every and every partner around us who has died, It is their bravery and loyalty that protects us. ”

Alexander looked at the faces in front of him again, these hunters were familiar to him, but after this battle, he didn't know how many faces would never be seen again.

"It's time to let things see." Alexander muttered in a voice that only he could hear.

Alexander was not sure whether the hunters and Bohemians would be able to withstand the coming battle, after all, the real key to that kind of battle was not necessarily skill, but a cruel test of unyielding will to fight.

What the army of this era often lacks is the will to fight, and it is not uncommon for an army of thousands or tens of thousands of people to collapse and retreat because of a hundred or even dozens of casualties.

Will the Bohemians and the huntsmen be able to hold out in the face of the huge Genoese forces?

Alexander didn't think about it anymore, many things were pointless to speculate, and only the real experience could prove everything.

The hunters moved quickly along the road, no one spoke, and everyone galloped silently towards the front against the scorching sun.

Under this Tuscan sun, a new battle is brewing.

Busako looked at Alexander again, but this time he had something else in mind.

Although his intentions had been discovered, Busako did not believe that he could continue his duty to protect Alexander.

Busak was well aware that he and Alexander were already tightly tied.

From the day he became Alexander's huntress captain, he was deeply imprinted.

No one doubted his loyalty to Alex, and even the enemy could not tolerate his disloyalty.

It can be said that if one day Alexander can achieve greater career and glory in the future, he will inevitably follow the lord to glory, and if Alexander fails miserably, maybe others will have other opportunities, but Busako can only fall into the abyss together.

Because of this, Busako cared more about Alexander's trust, because he knew that losing the trust of the lord would mean losing everything for him.

Don't be Caro. This is a phrase that Busako has been warning himself from the bottom of his heart.

Whether Carlo's guilt is really great, maybe others don't know, but Busako, who has been with Alexander, is very clear.

Caro's death was not so much due to the casualties caused by his unauthorized actions as it was due to the loss of Alexander's trust.

Be sure to regain the trust of adults!

Busako told himself again and again in his mind until he saw another Bohemian cavalry coming towards him.

"Genoese! Genoese! ”

The Bohemian cavalryman cried incessantly, his gray face covered by dust and only a pair of eyes could be seen.

"What happened to the Genoese?"

Alexander tried not to make his voice seem so agitated, he could not let the soldiers see the nervousness or even the vague trepidation in his heart.

I don't know when he started to hear some news about Lucrezia, he stopped being so indifferent or even indifferent, he began to think about the woman, he began to care about what she was doing, especially after having a daughter, this concern became more and more intense.

When he heard that the Genoese might attack Pisa, Alexander felt that his heart was about to stop beating, and now looking at the soldier, his face was as calm as possible, but his heart was already fluctuating with nervousness.

"The Genoese have set out, they are heading for ......"

"Marching to Pisa?" Alexander couldn't help but interrupt the soldier's words and asked urgently.

"No, they're heading north along this road," the Bohemian cavalry shook his head, a strange expression on his dusty face, "they're coming for you, lord." ”

"Huh?"

Alexander looked at the Bohemian cavalryman in astonishment, and for a moment wondered if the soldier had drunk too much.

The Bohemian cavalry were not the best scouts, but their observations were not wrong.

Cardgino's Genoese army did change direction, and the Genoese, who were supposed to march west along the Arno River, suddenly changed direction and marched north along a natural road that had been formed by an ancient channel of the Arno tributary.

This sudden arrival of the army could not help but puzzle the Bohemians, who were preparing to attack.

They did not know why the Genoese had suddenly changed the direction of their advance, which led to the fact that they had decided to send them to the front road to harass the Genoese army along the way.

This even made the Bohemians wonder if the Genoese had discovered their whereabouts and intentions, so they suddenly changed the direction of their advance.

Perhaps the Genoese would suddenly change direction again and either march on Pisa with all their might or prepare to surround them and annihilate them.

It was with this in mind that the captains of the Bohemian cavalry were rarely cautious.

They first sent men to inform their companions who were on the front line to be vigilant and keep an eye on the movements of the Genoese, and at the same time they scattered their men and horses to follow closely in the vicinity of the Genoese army, closely monitoring the movements of the enemy.

But what happened next made the bohemians feel that their previous judgment was wrong, and it was a bit outrageous.

The Genoese marched north at a much faster pace than ever before, and could even see some of the bulky baggage they had discarded along the way.

Is this an army ready to attack?

But how do you look like you're running for your life?

Just as this feeling became stranger and stranger, the Bohemians, who had been sending people to contact Alexander in the back, suddenly discovered something that surprised them.

Judging by the direction of the Genoese march, soon they will collide head-on with Alexander, who is coming from behind!

This made those Bohemians look at each other, and after sending men and horses to report to Alexander, looking at the Genoese army that seemed to be being driven north with a whip, a Bohemian cavalry captain couldn't help but shake his head: "Oh, this time the lord is in trouble." ”
