In the midst of a roar, the 600 Magyar cavalry attacking from Zemon City were met head-on by the fir bows and stone throws of the sailor company deployed in front of the city when they stormed the siege position of Gawain.

Although the fir bow has a short range, the power of the arrows is considerable, coupled with the rapid slinging of stones, the barrage effect of projection is instantly formed, and the horses of the Magyar cavalry who rushed up were hit one after another, and fell down with a scream, and the lucky horses left, and many of the lost horses just got up, and were knocked down by the second and third rounds of salvos, and the immortals who did not die were also dragged over by the sailors and infantry of the Red Hand Brigade with hooks and captured.

The remnants of the Magyar cavalry retreated into the castle in confusion, and immediately from Duke Nikita down, everyone was panicked, and the Duke climbed the city wall with his subordinates, looking at the continuous siege of Dalian below like iron barrels, how could he provoke such a terrifying "Thor"?

"Send someone to the Grand Duke Gao Wen, who claims to be the emperor's imperial gift, and make peace with his Dalian army, that we are willing to cease the attacks on the pilgrims, and provide compensation with grain and silver." Nikita made a hasty decision, and then secretly asked for a clipper boat to be arranged at the water gate next to the Sava River, so that in case something happened to the castle, he could retreat from the waterway.

In the tent of the Grand Duke of Bari, Muzafiadin and two strong military servants brought down the messengers who had come out of the city of Zemon and bound them to the ground, and Gawain sat on his seat and pointed at each other with his horsewhip, "I may not be able to punish your master directly, so you will take it." Gawain then threw the whip to Muzafiadin, who swung it and whipped the messenger. The tent was filled with the sound of whipping and screaming, all the way to fifty strokes. Gao Wencai ordered the unfortunate fellow to be untied, "Allocate a donkey from the camp." Pull the cart and send this bastard back to Zemon, and in addition, the company of craftsmen must not slacken and prepare the siege equipment, which means that I Stephen. Gawain's answer. ”

From late night to dawn, the Dalian team under Zemeng City lit many bonfires, and the craftsmen, military servants and soldiers who helped began to prepare various siege equipment and pushed them to the designated position. Everything was done by Andreev. Yergo was in charge.

Gawain, on the other hand, sent Bramson and Melo with their cavalry in the direction of the Belgrade wilderness, and on the way they met many pilgrims and men who had escaped from there, most of them from Lorraine, Swabia, and Bavaria, "Don't be afraid, go back and tell you that you are still there, and that your companions who have been attacked are all coming in the direction of Zemun, for our Grand Duke has surrounded the evil Duke Nikita." So it's safe over here. ”

When the sun rose the next day, Merlot and Bramson on the hill looked at the "gap" with incredulous eyes. It was not so much a group of pilgrims as a group of refugees, many injured. There are also people leading all kinds of livestock and poultry, and their eyes are panicked and sluggish. There were countless women mixed in, some of whom didn't even have a single piece of clothing to cover. He also shamelessly marched with the brigade, "This is the 100,000 army organized by the archduke's brother-in-law, the hermit?" "Merlot was born in the Peloponnese, and later came to Italy, although he saw all kinds of pilgrims and pilgrims in the Apennine Peninsula, but most of them were short trips to Rome and Bari, and his clothes were neat and his attitude was relatively elegant.

But Bramson was obviously very familiar with it, "Ignore it, or they will immediately come up and demand everything from us, and let them camp under Zemon on their own, these are all German and German scoundrels, they are all stupid born of a mother called 'Stupid'." ”

As soon as the words fell, in the midst of the huge refugee procession, a man on a horse but covered with monk's robes, with tall and thin cheeks and a somewhat rebellious look in his eyes, with a sharp voice, stretched out his hand to salute the two generals of the Dalian army (because he saw the banners of them), "Honorable officer, my name is Gottschalke, who was a low-ranking member of the monastery in the Rhine Valley, because he heard the sermon of the hermit Peter, and was so moved that he organized a pilgrimage of 30,000 men to participate in this great expedition. I long to see His Excellency Gawain, the Chief of the Priesthood, and I am willing to follow him in the conquest of the city of Zemon. ”

At this moment, under the city of Zemon, the company of craftsmen had made the siege vehicle behind the wooden fence lined up, and it was covered with animal skins, and at the front end were many sharpened trees, tied together, with wheels that pushed forward, and many ladders had already been set up to be used in the event of a rapid attack.

Gawain also donned a red feathered helmet and rode Quicksilver, patrolling the terrain of Zemon City with the Brotherhood. The castle was on one side of the river, and on the other three sides, the water of the Sava River was excavated and brought in, forming a surrounding moat with a stone bridge over it, which the city did not have time to destroy, but Nikita sent many Bolgar and Magyar infantry, made of wood to prevent arrows, and hid in the shallows and fort gates behind it, using shields and various weapons to defend it, and Nikita also sent many archers to defend the city.

"Send at once the elite Italian veterans, as well as my guards, each dressed in heavy armor, and with tomahawks and swords, to destroy the enemy's makeshift fortifications, and to occupy this stone bridge, behind which Andreev and your archers are to take cover. Once the stone bridge is captured, the banner of the general attack must be erected, and then the company of craftsmen and siege equipment must all be pressed up, so that there can be no respite for the enemy. Gawain raised the horse's head scepter and arranged it carefully.

At this time, with the shout, Bramson rode over, and Gawain saw that he was very kind, "It's just in time, are you willing to be the vanguard of the siege team right away?" ”

But then Bramson replied that twenty or thirty thousand pilgrims who had fled from the east had arrived, and some of them wanted to see you.

When Gawain was still confused, the priest named Gottschalk was also riding a horse, followed by a sturdy warrior, it was the infantry commander Biller who had been "gifted" to Peter by Matilda, and rushed to the great stallion together, and after saluting, Gawain knew Biller, so he greeted him, and at this moment Gottschalk's burning eyes were fixed on the priesthood, as if he was studying every hair on Gawain's own body.

As a result, Gao Wen's heart straightened, "What is this going to do?" ”

Before he could think much about it, he dismounted, kneeled before his eyes, turned his face up, and cried out with the madness of a fanatical believer, "It will not be wrong, you are the one who can fulfill the dreams of all pilgrims, the great priesthood, the future lord of the continent, Gottschalke is willing to give you all his zeal and strength, this is my vow." With that, Gottschalk grabbed Gawain's finger and kissed it lifelessly until saliva filled Gawain's finger (to be continued). )
