Eagle Byzantium

Soon everything fell silent, and Caesar must have been blinded.

Peter also squatted down against the wall, covered in cold sweat, as if he too had been executed.

Seeing the great eunuch walking out of the cave carrying the box with great ease, Alexios turned his head and said to the hermit, "Don't give up your belief in the beautiful world. While you can still see it, my Friends.”

Then, the emperor knelt in front of his mother and kissed her hand. "My child is unworthy. I have to trouble you to continue to be the regent of the palace and the capital, because my child has to command the army and go out of the city to fight against all kinds of heroic enemies."

"This regency should be the easiest and shortest one." Dalasena Komnenos replied with a smile.

"The Gate of St. Atkins..." Then, the emperor said this, took off the robe covering his body, and threw it into the hands of the silver-haired veteran Harold beside him, holding the "Holy Sea" and " "Athos" with two swords, walked towards the exit of the dungeon.

Cold tears rolled onto Anna's neck. She moved and woke up. Then she heard howling like a vicious dog from hell. She stood up, cupped her hands, and came to the window lattice facing the outside. The firelight came through her petite body - the pilgrims, and the emperor of the imperial believers, fought under the walls of Constantinople before meeting the pagans.

The emperor and Harold stood on the tallest turret of St. Atkins Gate, where the height was optimal and the city wall was the strongest. The falcon soared in front of Alexios' eyes, "The proudest eagle in Rome." , bring me good luck in defeating the enemy!" Then the emperor pulled out the Sword of the Holy Sea, "The first group of cavalry rushed out from the gate to intercept the enemy!"

Then Harold stood on the city wall, obeying the emperor's orders. He waved the command flag in his hand - among the parallel city gates, the door panels were opened, or as the iron ropes were lowered, hundreds of Turkic mercenary cavalry holding bows and arrows galloped out in an instant, then crossed the stone bridge and faced Gover Thunder's tribe, the snow foam splashed by the horse's hooves. It struck like thunder and lightning following it.

"Turn around and form a formation!" In the snow and wind, the infantry regiments on Godfrey's left wing followed the orders of their respective flag bearers and stood facing the enemy with their weapons and bodies, forming a dense line. Huhualala protected the shield in front, raised the heavy spear and long sword in his hand, and issued a Germanic battle cry. Behind them was the noble Godfrey, and Lower Lorraine holding the golden eagle scepter. The Duke was urging them with his eyes. "Fight back all the Greek cavalry!" As soon as the Duke's words hit the ground, countless arrows flew from the galloping horses on the opposite side, throwing perfect arcs in the air. Countless white dots were shot out around his banner, and the slaves around him screamed and fell down, but Godfrey remained unmoved, completely ignoring the arrow feathers flying from his ears, and instead used the arrow in his hand to The scepter stretched straight ahead, as calm as a mountain.

"Ahhh!" The soldiers in the first line of the infantry regiment faced the emperor's Turkic cavalry that rushed towards them. He threw out the heavy spear in his hand, a pointed shooter with frost. The tear broke through the coldest air and burst out the hottest blood on the chests of the Turkic cavalry. Then the two-handed swordsmen from Swabia and Bavaria, brandishing huge weapons, bravely stood out from the formation on foot, chasing the Turkic cavalry who turned around and ran wildly.

"All knights, step on your stirrups. Have you seen the high embankment over there? If you occupy it, you can attack all the enemies coming out of St. Atkins Gate." Godfrey's eyes were very bright. When he saw the deserted embankment, he issued an order for the entire army to attack.

"Follow the battle flag of the Duke!" All the knights and sergeants, carrying Carolingian-style spears that could be stabbed and thrown, or narrow cavalry swords, bypassed both sides of the infantry line and ran. Go with the goal...

At this time, Gawain and the red-handed cross sword battle flag also arrived at the battlefield as scheduled. "Over there, the Duke of Lorraine has already engaged the Greeks." Bramson next to him pointed at the chaotic battle. of St. Atkins Gate said.

"Go and tell your Excellency the Duke not to go and seize the embankment. I'm afraid there will be an ambush from the emperor." Gawain shouted hurriedly.

But at this time, Bramson had just driven away, and the sound of killing suddenly rang out from in front of the Saint Basil's Mausoleum on the other side - also countless mercenaries dressed like stardust Cumans and Pechenegs. The cavalry burst out from several valleys and rushed over. "They are the troops commanded by Titicius, forming a formation to resist the battle!" Gawain pulled out the sword of phosphorus fire. He naturally understood that he must not face this sniff-nosed general. Contemptuous truth.

At this time, the Greek infantry company and sailor company under Gawain's right wing, facing the direction with their backs to Godfrey's army, also turned around under the guidance of the flag, suddenly lowered their spears diagonally, and faced The cavalry driven by Tatisius The company of sailors behind them formed a horizontal formation, with fir bows and light crossbows in their hands making constant sounds. Waves of arrows shot from the heads of the comrades in front, while the cavalry sent by Titicius galloped left and right, suddenly scattering. The sudden gathering consumes the arrow reserves of Gawain's army.

"Save shooting, save shooting!" Birrell, standing under a flag in front of the infantry array, kept shouting and sent a messenger to ask for instructions from Gawain's tactics.

"Ignore Taticius's tricks, all the cavalry gather around my battle flag as a reserve force." This was Gawain's reply, and then Saint Cyril and the Baptist cavalry company, with a total of nearly a thousand cavalry, held Flags and weapons of all colors were firmly united around the Grand Duke, motionless. Gawain moved, wearing a red hand feather ornament, and placed the blue phosphorus fire sword on his shoulder, which reflected the color of his eyes. He gritted his teeth and said, "Godfrey, Godfrey, please don't If we act blindly again, the entire three armies will be separated and the enemy will take advantage of it. "

On the hill in front of the imperial tomb, Titicius and Diogenes stood side by side, looking at the wilderness below. Gawain's large company of red-handed infantry and archers were in tight and steady formation, while the cavalry were all guarding them. Gawain's commanding flags were everywhere. "Sure enough, Gawain is not fooled so easily. He is really a good leader of troops." Taticius held the riding crop and sighed and commented.

"But he is our powerful enemy now, and even the kind-hearted Sir Breanus was kidnapped by him." The guard said angrily.

"Then Diogenes, just add some pressure to Gawain's formation. The key to this battle is in which direction Gawain will use his elite cavalry." Taticius said.

"That's good. I'll command the infantry to attack and let Gawain move." The officer then rode down the hillside on horseback. Wherever he passed, Byzantine troops holding shields and spears and carrying bows and arrows lined up. The dense formation marched on the long grass and snow, moving towards Gawain's infantry formation step by step.

"When Gawain and his cavalry move, that's when we win." Almost at the same time, on the corner tower of the city gate ten stadia across from the imperial mausoleum, Alexios overlooked the entire battlefield situation and said said the same thing. (To be continued ~^~)
