Eagle Byzantium

A few camels later, a group of Kurdish spearmen and archers looked through the "creas" formed by the humps and saw the light artillery carts rolling towards them. They had been serving as mercenaries on this plateau for a long time and knew this regulation and Roma's train throwing is very similar: once the fire jars containing strong fire oil and asphalt are thrown here intensively, more than 10,000 people in this camel city will suffer, and they will taste the hell of hell earlier than Kafele. The taste of punishment.

"Let's do it!" So the leading Kurdish warrior bravely stepped onto the camel's soft back and drew the bow string. The archers around him also gathered around him and also injected arrows.

The fire throwers behind the light artillery car only heard a sharp whistling sound in mid-air - groups of arrows flew out from Camel City. Their length was longer than the arrows of ordinary horn bows. It was very scary to see them. People are eye-catching.

"Down." The fire-throwers also fell down one after another, and then there were sounds from the wooden shields hung on the crosses in front of the carriage, as if countless birds were flying and pecking violently. Some people were lying on the ground, but They were still shot through the legs or feet by the stolen arrows. One of them was unlucky, and his thigh artery was penetrated directly. Blood flew everywhere on the light gun carriage, and he screamed and died soon after.

This is the same arrow that some jihadist archers shot into the chariot barrier earlier. It is three or four feet long and is made of a very tough bamboo called Balin bamboo. In fact, this bamboo is the imported Tianzhu Ma bamboo, which is particularly suitable for use. For bow shooting, the bamboo pole is strong, light, easy to lengthen, and extremely lethal when shot in flight.

Several light artillery vehicles were suddenly shot like porcupines and lay motionless. The fire-throwers behind them were either injured or unable to move.

At this moment, Gawain and the generals who were supervising the battle climbed up and saw that the morale of the jihadists in Camel City seemed to be fanatical again. The imam lecturer named Qasim under Hetie kept shouting and led everyone to pray, and the raindrops were like raindrops. Ma Bamboo Arrow and others His arrows were shot out from behind the lying camel with the sound of the adhan, and the gunners set up the three-gun madam, and fired a few rounds from time to time, making a violent sound to boost morale. In short, he was determined not to let Gawain Pyrothrowers and artillery carriages approached.

"Gentlemen, the enemy is surrounded by camels and Kibosa's caravans. Although our light artillery vehicles have shields, they are still difficult to get close to." Gawain's tone was asking about strategy.

Leotius and Orson also pointed to the two sides of the huge "Camel City" and said, "On the left is a river branch, and on the right is a plateau rift valley blown by the wind. It is difficult for our cavalry and infantry to make a roundabout way." Surround them."

"There is an earth embankment behind them. Send an order for the red-handed cavalry to attack it. If we seize the earth embankment and look down from above, we can threaten the back road of Camel City." Monomachus suggested.

But this time Gawain shook his head and said, "Continue to monitor this camel city with car ramparts and border troops - I took the fire throwers and artillery carts and rushed to the camps of Mero and Branas, first defeating the enemy's rear. Army, go back and completely eat Tuocheng."

"I obey, Your Highness the Patron!" Several generals stretched out their hands to express their obedience.

At the second hour of the morning, Gawain led the Ogus cavalry regiment and the fire throwers, and it didn't take long to arrive at Branas' camp amid cheers - the guards at the time The soldiers of the brigade were facing off against the rear jihadists led by Harun across a river that was not wide but had steep banks.

After seeing the jihadists on the opposite side erecting a defense fence on the river bank, Gawain pointed to the circular forest below the river, "Using the tactics used by the Turks to kill civilian pilgrims, using light artillery vehicles to load burning torches, Burn that forest and drive out all the enemies inside, then we occupy that place and defeat this army in a flanking attack!"

Dozens of light artillery carts were pushed, approaching the circular forest, and then countless flames exploded in the woods. Fireballs were ejected from the light artillery carts. Amidst the roar of the crimson sea of ​​​​fire, many originally The jihadists who were hiding and staying inside could not bear it and were driven out. Ten companies of miscellaneous skirmishers, equipped with 300 fire throwers attached to the brigade, attacked in two directions against the fire soldiers, successfully crossed the river and swept the area around the forest, searching and killing more than 300 jihadists. And occupied the flank position of its rear army.

Frightened, Harlan hurriedly mobilized the entire team and launched several attacks against the skirmishers of the Guardian Brigade.

As a result, the skirmishers occupied a high slope on the edge of the Burning Forest. Three hundred attached fire-throwers were separated on the two wings. They used fire arrows and sophisticated short-hand tactics to defeat Harlan's offensive one by one.

As a result, the jihadist rear army was demoralized and in a dilemma. Most of them were old and weak, and their combat effectiveness was very poor. At this time, the rest of the spearmen companies of the Guardian Brigade also forced their way across from the front. After two attacks, Harun's rear army collapsed, and 15,000 jihadists fled lifelessly along the Sivas trade road. The cavalry attached to the brigade and the Saint-Cyril Cavalry Regiment pursued from the left and right wings. The cavalry used swords and lances to catch up with the frightened rabbit-like jihadists on horseback, and assassinated them one after another. The bodies of the jihadists were spread all the way to the ground. In the last abandoned castle.

The whole brigade captured two hundred baggage wagons, a thousand cattle, three hundred goats, and four hundred packhorses and mules, which were scattered all over the wilderness and could be hauled away without difficulty by anyone. , and of course there were nearly five thousand prisoners. They were escorted to the river where the battle had just taken place, where they saw Gawain wrapped in a black cloak and armor. "Take out the clergy, mercenaries, and religious judges among them, and... "Behead."

The abandoned castle on the hill facing Sivas was the last stronghold of the 70,000 pilgrims. There were originally 4,000 women and children squatting in it. Now they had no time to run because all the roads down had been cut off by Gawain's cavalry. Soon, a large group of brigade infantry followed and lined up on all sides.

A team of soldiers of the Guard Brigade wearing armor stepped on the mountain path below, holding up flags and shouting loudly, "Come out and surrender. It is better to dig a channel in the Comahs River than to be burned to death."

"It's time to sacrifice yourself for Allah!" The remaining jihad leaders who fled back here, including Harun, raised their fists and lifted the stones between the walls, and threw them on the hillside at the risk of their lives. Amid the screams and sobs of the women, the brigade soldiers were hit in the armor and retreated one after another.

Then the women's voices became louder and more terrified. They and their children saw that the group of ruthless soldiers around them had begun to raise various weapons, such as muskets, long spears, sickles, long swords, etc., and also raised the golden orange flag, intending to kill all the people in the abandoned fortress.

A correct version in the 16-9 book forum!

There was a fierce gunshot, and the women in the headscarves in the jihadist team saw that an older woman suddenly walked down the hillside: the hand guns held by the two brigade fire throwers below emitted green smoke, and the arrows brushed past the woman, pierced through the corner of her robe, and hit the earthen wall behind her.

But soon, the two soldiers put away their hand guns and waved to the woman who ran down, so she quickly ignored Harun's shouting, holding her torn robe, and ran directly to the enemy's formation, begging the other party to let her live. (To be continued ~^~)
