Eagle Byzantium

Just when Yagfi was about to give the order to attack, he heard the deafening shouts of killing behind him. He turned around and saw that the sight in front of him was unforgettable.

Because at the rear of the siege team of Yagfi, that is, at the pass from the Mut Valley to the Arahant Monastery Mountain, Gawain commanded two brigades (two bands less than the Gimagis Brigade), a total of fifteen An infantry detachment consisting of more than 8,000 infantrymen; 2,000 red-hand cavalry and Jinat cavalry, as well as more than 1,500 Armenian logistics troops, almost all the elite of Seleucia, appeared there in a mighty manner. In the fields and streets.

Gawain had just come from the battlefield of Alamein after a long journey. He took a short rest and marched quickly, giving full play to his wrist skills, like thunder and lightning galloping on the Hardy Mountains. On the way, Gawain rode his horse and saw the civilians and defeated soldiers who had broken out of the camping ground all over the mountains and plains. At first, he was scared to death, "It seems that Birel is brave and reckless, and the Holy Sister is scheming and decisive. Could it be that their camp has been lost? What about the safety of my holy sister? What if the Emperor captures Miliothefa? "Long, I not only lost the civilian army and the servants of the Paulists, but also the gatekeepers in the north of Seleucia..." So the anxious Gawain ordered the infantry of the Red Hand Brigade to step forward and line up the guards. Then he led the cavalry to block the civilian soldiers and civilians who were shouting and sneaking out from the direction of the camping area.

"The camping position has been lost!" Several militiamen from Germany and Flanders stated in panic as they knelt in front of Gawain's horse.

Gawain looked at the smoke column rising in the distance, not knowing whether it was true or not, so he asked these soldiers several questions sternly, "Did your commanders and Paulist consuls die in the battle? You saw with your own eyes that the emperor's army captured Camping? Are there any pursuers behind you?" As a result, this group of soldiers was defeated. Gawain couldn't answer any of them, and then Gawain asked the cavalry around him to catch a few escaped civilians and asked the same question. The civilians hesitated and couldn't answer clearly. They just said that there were soldiers guarding the camping city. But everyone on the periphery was running, and I also mixed in with the crowd and ran together.

After listening, the civilian soldiers thought about the past on the battlefield. What was the difference between themselves and these civilians? He couldn't help being frightened, his body was shaking violently, and Gawain was furious: "Even the Seleucid civilian army is supported by the people's shield taxes. Now to flee in the face of the battle is tantamount to neglecting the duty and allowing the enemy to invade our fortress." Lucia wreaked havoc and executed all these salary thieves and scoundrels!"

Soon, several heads of executed deserters were hung on the flagpole of Gao Wen's flag car. "Put the flag car here. If any soldier dares to cross this limit, he will be executed." Then, in the entire valley, there were another The civilian army was so frightened that they picked up their weapons and drove back. The hired civilian laborers did not dare to run around. Instead, they gathered on both sides of the road to help the army drive their livestock and push their heavy trucks.

So an hour later, on the mountain behind Yagfi, a large hospital flag with a white cross on a black background was hoisted. Gawain, wearing a cloak of the same color, immediately stood there, with thousands of majestic troops behind him, saying, "Long live, He's the patron Army!" The guards stationed in the south of the city cheered, and then Dim danced the long-handled hexagonal hammer in his hand like a windmill, leading all the soldiers of the guards to swarm towards Yagfi's team. Attacked violently.

Yagfi, who was attacked from both sides, did not dare to fight, and hurriedly pulled his troops into a column, abandoned the small village group, and fled up the mountain where the original camp was located. Gawain then sent his troops to break through the civilian husband's small village. Smoothness and camping come together.

On the city wall of the city, Cabeamiya raised her hands high. After seeing Gawain's flag, she couldn't help but burst into tears. The believers around her knelt down and prayed and cheered to the Almighty Lord. Her mood at the moment was extremely complicated. She really wanted to pull out a dagger and poke holes in Gawain, the cruel thief, but she also desperately wanted to be affectionate with him in the deserted tent. ——Even Kabeamiya was surprised by how complicated and bizarre her mood was.

However, what was even more bizarre was what followed: Gawain's main army set up camp an ancient mile away from the city, facing the wilderness due east.

"Your Majesty the Consul, the great patron asked you to continue to defend the city. He will serve as the rear guard there. All camps and teams will continue to be defended in separate areas. They are not allowed to move around without permission." Muzafei held Gawain's instructions. Adin, after galloping into the city, said this to Kabeamia.

"Heartless thief! Heartless thief..." The female consul could only cover her plaintive face with her golden hands. Fortunately, the morale and morale of the army had stabilized. In front of her, many people were building along the wooden fence. The real city gate was restored, and the bombed right platform was repaired. The remains and the dangerous fire poles and Khitan snow scattered inside and outside the city were also cleared...

"What, Gawain's team has arrived..." In the imperial camp, the emperor clasped his hands behind his back, his thoughts stirring.

Then he walked to the sand table and said, "Yagfi lacked the will to fight to the death and failed to cut off the connection between Miliocephalon and the Mut Valley, allowing Gawain to calmly reinforce the camping fortifications." As he spoke, the emperor's tone Clearly full of resentment and hatred.

Then Alexios stood in front of the sand table in a daze, calculating the military strength of both sides: now in various places in the Miliocephalon camp, both sides have gathered a huge army of about 25,000 people, but Gawain obviously relies on the camp and the sub-city to form a local military advantage in the shape of a hard walnut, and in order to besiege the camp, he divided more than 10,000 troops into three sides, and the military strength of any side is likely to be weak - Gawain can concentrate his main force at any time to attack his own northern camp, or the camp of Agrafi (the camp of Meles in the west is also blocked by cliffs and narrow roads, so Gawain cannot launch a frontal attack).

"Retreat, return to the Meles camp, and confront Gawain with the advantage of the terrain?" The emperor stared at the sand table. Wouldn't that mean that all the previous efforts would be wasted if he traveled through the entire southern Isauria mountain road to reach Miliocephalon? No, I am unwilling to give up. I have gathered 40,000 to 50,000 troops this time. Although they are divided into three routes, there is no reason why I cannot gain an advantage over Gawain's 10,000 men here.

"Have Harold's 4,000 men arrived here?" the emperor began to ask.

The answer was that they would arrive around noon tomorrow - and at this time the emperor wanted to increase the bargaining chips in his hand, "Four thousand people are not enough, not enough. How many troops does Brenus have now besieging Conia?"

"Twenty thousand, my majesty, but half of them are newly recruited."

"Although Conia is a large city, that Giliki can only rely on eight hundred Danishmond mercenaries. Tell Brenus not to rush to attack the city, and send another six thousand combat-capable troops to gather here - no, let Brenus lead the army personally and take this army to capture the little Antioch, which is thirty ancient miles away in the east and is almost unguarded. As long as it is captured, Gawain will be unsettled. Either he attacks me, or he is besieged again." (To be continued ~^~)
