Eagle Byzantium
Chapter 10 Big City Small City
When the armored knights of Seleucia mounted their horses and waited for the vehicles carrying their horses and armor to arrive, the wall of the Alaman Castle in front of them had been bombarded by five "big plani guns" and was covered with bullet holes like an old woman's mouth. A 180-foot-long section was directly bombed and collapsed: the connection between the big city and the small city of Alaman Castle was completely cut off.
In the high tower in the city, the bleak candlelight flickered, and Taro's body was gathered, wrapped in a shroud, lying in front of the blind Nika, and outside was the sound of panicked people and horses.
"Sure enough, Gawain came prepared this time. They used a powerful new catapult to destroy the city wall and kill my third son." Nika murmured, "The morale and public sentiment in the city have suffered serious damage, and the emperor's reinforcements have not arrived yet?"
"Father, now the enemy has blown down the wall. There are still 300 soldiers stationed in the small city, and less than 400 in the big city. We have temporarily recruited 300 strong men from the residents to assist in the defense. As long as we hold on for two more days, the prince and the emperor's reinforcements will arrive." Ace is still very confident about the entire battle situation now, "Then we will launch a counterattack to avenge the death of Taro."
"You guys, what exactly was the enemy situation you saw on the corner tower of the big city before?" Nika said slowly.
So Seven and Ace reported to their father together: They saw that the militia team on Gawain's front line had begun to push the wooden fence forward and shrink the siege line, and Gawain's red-handed Seven Ridge flag and the silver spike battle flag of his brigade had already walked down the original hill and stood between the villages in the wilderness, and saw many soldiers on war horses gathered in front and behind the villages.
"Gawain is preparing to divide the team into two or three fronts, and after destroying the wall, approach to attack our big city." Ace's judgment has not yet landed, and the whole room shook violently, as if there was an earthquake-it was five large plani guns, which did not rest at night and continued to throw stone bullets at the big city of the fortress from a long distance, killing soldiers and residents and creating an atmosphere of panic.
However, Nika sighed and said, "That was just a trick of Gawain. His target tonight and tomorrow must be the small town on the ridge over there. Only by capturing the small town can he truly besiege the big city and resist the emperor's reinforcements."
Hearing his father's judgment, the remaining two brothers looked at each other and asked their father how to make the deployment.
"There are so few soldiers in the city, and the interconnected walls have been blown down. How can we be helpless? First, we have to blame the prince for not listening to the correct opinions in advance and assigning the main force to me for command; second, we have to blame ourselves for not having enough knowledge of Gawain's power. Now the only thing to do is to pray, pray that the 300 defenders in the small town can hold on for a long enough time, which is the key to determining the survival of Fort Alaman." Nika's words were shocking. Instead of going out to fight, he asked all the soldiers in the big city to stay closed and entrusted the fate of the small town to the ethereal God to judge.
In the village where Gawain's flag and camp were located, eight huge bonfires illuminated the passages around the tents as bright as day. Soldiers and servants holding weapons and carrying luggage did not dare to speak loudly. They just whispered commands to the guards holding axes and halberds at each sentry post, and then went to their destinations.
In the village, there were 400 Pauline archers, Gawain's guards of about 80 people (a large number of recruits from Sven's Danish guards were recruited at a high price), and the Saint Cyril Cavalry Company, which were concentrated and camped together to serve as the reserve for the entire offensive against Fort Alaman.
And two miles ahead, there was the New Baptized Cavalry Company, which served as the second line and took turns to monitor the gap in the wall: once the city soldiers moved behind them, they would rush through the gap to intercept and kill them.
At the forefront were two thousand garrison soldiers, each relying on five villages linked together, under the command of General Birrell, marking their own defense zones, forming a siege on the castle, and strictly preventing the Calegos garrison in the city from raiding.
In front of the scarlet tent symbolizing the status of the Grand Duke, the Turkish army servants with scimitars grumbled in dissatisfaction, watching several Syrian cooks carrying steaming meals and drinks, entering one after another, "Hahaha, since you are pretending to be the Grand Duke to confuse the enemy, you must pretend to be more like him, right?" Sitting at the table, enjoying the food, was the camp officer Wright who had just recovered from his injury. This hippie-faced man ate all kinds of delicacies and looked very happy. In order to be a fake king for a day, he felt numb inside and wanted to bring Gawain's pillow-mate, the graceful female consul, to make the play more realistic.
"According to the legends in Persia and Syria, I have heard the elders of our tribe mention that anyone can be chosen to be a fake king for a day in the ancient Eastern Kingdom, enjoying the wealth and supreme power of that day, and even sleeping with the queen. But when the sun rises the next day, the fake king must be killed as a sacrifice." At this moment, Muzafi Adin seemed to see what Wright was thinking, and he shouted in Greek without any hesitation.
Wright felt a chill on his back, so he lowered his head, dared not laugh anymore, and just ate.
On the hill, in the camp of the Gimages, Gawain leaned on the chair, holding the horse-head scepter in his hand, Giovanni in front of him held the terrain sand table, Cabeamia and Agnes stood on the left and right, and Gregor and other commanders of Dugelius stood in front of the Grand Duke.
"I will take down the small city in front of me between tonight and the second hour tomorrow morning, so that I can achieve complete victory." Gawain said clearly.
It means that you all express your opinions.
"Let my brigade encircle the small town of Alameinburg in a roundabout way, and then I will personally supervise all the soldiers to attack." Gregor was afraid that Gawain would not trust his brigade, so he hurriedly asked for instructions.
"How to attack fiercely?" Gawain asked.
"Using ladders, hooks, and iron-clad battering rams, the officers and soldiers of our brigade are good at using these instruments." Gregor slapped his chest.

Kabeamiya immediately bent down and put her head on Gawain's shoulder, wanting to say something. As a result, the little sunfish over there raised her eyebrows and stretched out the slender wooden pole used to drive the mules. He came over and stood in front of the female consul's lips. The expression on his face was "By the order of the purple-robed princess, you stay away from this brown bear!"
The female consul turned her face sideways, smiled awkwardly at the little sunfish, and then stepped back a little, reminding Gawain, "According to the advice of General Temach of the Gimmegis Brigade, there is absolutely no time - Emperor The prince's soldiers and horses may arrive at night tomorrow at the latest, or in the early morning of the day after tomorrow, to join the battle group."
