Eagle Byzantium

In the end, those who resisted bravely under Ghaznavid retreated to the Great Mosque and refused to surrender.

Finally, King Izi of Gur ordered to use the Armenian light oil given to him by the Roman Emperor to set fire to the Great Mosque and burned it to a white ground. All the hundreds of Ghaznavid nobles inside were burned to death.

Behind the scenes, this was the emperor's plan. It was not without reason that he incited the Gurs and Rajputs to hate Ghazni, because Gawain did not want any of these two to take over the rich and dangerous city of Ghazni. Become a big force across the river and northern India, which will have a great influence on the future. The Roman Empire was definitely unfavorable. "Then burn down the city of Ghaznavids, so that a considerable part of the financial route connecting the East and the West will be transferred to the sea route of Sindh. That will be a good thing for our country's merchant groups." Gawain had said this calmly to his confidants before.

Outside the city, in the imperial camp decorated with purple curtains, the emperor stood silently at the door, looking at the night sky that was mostly dyed red by the fire. "Holy Sister, we will continue to move north with all the looted wealth and all the troops right away. The target is Balakot City.”

"Aren't you going to the battlefields of Nishapur and Mofu City?" The Holy Sister also thought that Gawain would pass through Herat City to fight the Great Fair King.

Gawain laughed out loud, "I am not that obedient Holy Sister, so I will go straight to the city of Balakot. If I capture it, I will be able to cross the Oxus River and threaten the city of Bukhara. It belongs to the King of Justice. The way back is also the end of King Ping."

"Aren't you afraid of the Song Empire's backup?"

Gawain sneered, "Yelu Dashi is so determined and wise and courageous. The so-called Huang Song Dynasty is just a general show. I no longer need to wait for Mr. Zhao to arrive before making a judgment. I will follow my plan tomorrow. Okay. Besides, Holy Sister, you will be my confidential officer tonight, and I will write a letter to the Western world before the final battle."

The Holy Sister laughed, raised her reed pen by the skirt of her skirt, and sat in front of the table, indicating that Gawain could dictate whatever he wanted.

Gawain wrote a letter to the Senate in Constantinople, which contained a concise description of his battles since his expedition, saying that he had conquered Herat, Iskandar, Peshawar, Multan, Tata, Garder and Ghaznavids, a group of star-like cities, wiped out as many as 100,000 pagans or natural disaster horsemen, obtained 50 million tasso silver coins as loot, and established the province of New Nicaea for the empire. Of course, in private, Gao Wen ordered The confidants who remained in the Senate were trying to give themselves the titles of "Conqueror of Ghaznavids in India", "Hammer of Oxus" and "Alexander II" (Anna was working with a team of clerical staff to concoct the title A complete set of chronicles of the Varyag dynasty, in which, for the first time, Alexander the Great and Caesar were integrated into the narrative of the glorious past of the Roman Empire, thus combining the Roman system and the Greek system);

In addition, Gawain also wrote a letter to the clergy group of the Cave Abbey, in which he openly stated that he dreamed in the camp of the battle that the Virgin Mary appeared from the cemetery in Ephesus, descended in the eastern wilderness surrounded by angels, and gave him " "Guardian of Christ and the Sword of the Law". In addition, he and the soldiers saw Saints Dimitri, Saint Barbara, Saint Michael, etc. dressed as archangels many times during the battle. The armor is displayed on the top of a mountain or on the head of a cloud, protecting the entire army and defeating countless pagan invaders - here, Gawain has not shied away from his permission to worship icons to support the newly emerged "Orthodox New Rituals" in the empire. "This sect is mainly composed of cave monks in the Kaleadios Mountains. They rely more on the royal family and are more like a group of scholastic clergy supported by the emperor;

Of course, Gawain also wrote a letter to the Renewal Society. He changed his expression again and said seriously that he was embarking on this vast and sacred expedition only because he had received a secret revelation from the Lord: the old order is no longer viable, and the new order is no longer viable. The Messiah and the new teachings will leave their mark on the world, and he will be the leader of all people! In addition, Gawain's last diplomatic letter was to the Fort of Sant'Angelo in Rome, "I have been favored by God, and I will return triumphantly. You will be welcomed in front of the fortress at that time. At that time, I will reply to you." original precinct of saint peter Face, from now on, the two swords that protect the entire Christian world will be held in my right and left hands. In addition, the key to the Heavenly Gate will also be returned to the altar of New Rome (Constantinople). You are no longer qualified to possess it. it!"

Shortly after the beginning of early winter, the embarrassed Yelu Dashi ran back to Balakot City with some of the remaining cavalry, bringing news that the entire army on the southern front battlefield had been annihilated.

This frightened the "Victorious Army" stationed in Balakot City.

This was also a branch of the Western Expedition attached to King Ping Ping's camp. A general with a dignified appearance and stalwart figure in the camp received Yelu Dashi.

"Don't go south again, your Ever Victorious Army Camp. My army has been completely lost." After sitting down with a look of exhaustion and sorrow on his face, Dashi saluted the commanding general and advised him, speaking with incomparable exhaustion.

"Then the thief slave named Gawain, will he go northwest to Nishapur next? Or will he march north to break through Vanjiyan (a famous pass connecting Balakot and Ghaznavids) and threaten the black city of Bali? ?" The commander of the Ever Victorious Army asked Dashi cautiously.

Dashi lowered his eyelids, "How do you know, stupid brother? But if Gao Wen takes the path of Fanjiyan, what strategy will you use to control Guo Tongzhi?"

General Guo Tongzhi's face suddenly became solemn. His eyebrows and beard were dignified, his copper-colored complexion, straight nose and wide mouth made him look majestic. He immediately pointed at the big stone and started talking on the sand table, "I will make eight thousand permanent changes." The victorious army was divided into two battalions, one at Jubalihei and the other at Jubalihei. At Tiemenguan on the other side, four Shenwu General heavy artillery and thousands of crossbows were set up on the Jiahe River to block the Wuhu River and never let the thieves and slaves cross the Leichi. Hara) is in danger. This is where King Fairy's back camp is located, so there must be no intrusion."

Dashi also became generous, clenched his fist and expressed his stance to General Guo, "Young brother is also willing to gather the defeated troops and assist Guo to defend Balihei."

"Pharmacist is very loyal to the emperor and Song Dynasty, and the sun and the moon can teach him a lesson!" The Commander-in-Chief of the Ever Victorious Army named Pharmacist Guo immediately waved his beard and raised his fist in the air and responded sternly.

Speaking of this, Dashi's face looked sad and sad, "Guo Tongzhi, you and I are just wandering ducks. If we win this battle, we can seal the territory and split the earth, and establish a foothold in the colorful world here."

These words obviously moved Yaoshi Guo. He said sadly, "Yes, but we have traveled thousands of miles away! If we cannot win this battle, our great cause will be in vain. By the way, my dear brother is in the city first. camp After resting here, recruiting troops and horses, Brother Yu immediately went to discuss the matter of defending the city with Wang Tongpan." After the medicine master Guo diligently arranged the Yelv Stone, he strode away to find Wang Xianzong, the judge of Bali Heitong.
