The emperor was still reluctant to give up his warplane, which was less than fifty guli away from the market town of Firomeron, and he strictly ordered Matthew and Tetisius to command five thousand cavalry from Cuman, Pecheneg, Tekopo, and Vadaritai to continue to pursue Gawain, "Since Gawain's rut marks are still clearly recognizable, it means that his army is close at hand, and this is mostly a wide area, which is conducive to cavalry play, and Gawain should not be asked to join his previous brigade camp." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

Because the emperor felt that Gawain was also using mobility to induce him, not allowing him to calmly divide his troops, but was led by the nose to the concentration of Philo Melron's entire army, and was forced to confront or fight a decisive battle with Gawain.

So when Alexios marched along the Sakarya River, he pre-deployed the "killing move".

Therefore, when Gawain's Red Hand Brigade was more than 20 miles away from Philomeron, a large group of Cuman cavalry appeared on the side, which was another route of soldiers and horses of the emperor, with a total of 5,000 people, specifically to intersperse and cut off Gawain's approach.

The Emperor's plan is this: I will chase after you, and this cavalry will make a detour from the flank, intercept you in this open field, and separate you from the camp of the Gemagis brigade, and annihilate each of them!

The Red Hand Brigade immediately formed several phalanxes of detachment units around the baggage vehicles, and raised an urgent beacon fire in the southwest direction, dark clouds drummed, flags flew, and Gawain and Mellot personally commanded all the Oghuz cavalry and the cavalry attached to the brigade, and formed a two-line raid line outside the formation. On their north flank, the Emperor's cavalry was galloping in, and on their flanks - five thousand Cuman cavalry were constantly approaching.

Soon, from the south-west of the plains of the Horse Plain, a large force of cavalry appeared, approaching and dense like a black cloud, and they were all carrying Epshkin. There are about 2,000 battle flags of the Thracesun Military District, of which no less than 500 are heavily armored Plonian cavalry in armor, "It is the banner of the emperor's general Kosa, and it must have been from the camp of Brenus to volley us!" ”

The red-handed banner fluttered in the unruly wind, making a burst of sounds, and all the generals rode their horses to guard Gawain's side, and behind them were the red-handed soldiers who formed the phalanx of spears, and the huge beacon fire, "While we are alerting the Gimagis brigade, we are also telling the emperor over there where our position is......" The face of the Grand Earl Merlot was illuminated, and he said.

"When the enemy is attacked on three sides, do you want to dig camps and build a fortress to defend it?"

"There is no water source here, only ditches, and if you dig a camp, it will play into the emperor's hands." After Gawain finished speaking, his facial expression froze, and then he took out the silver horse-headed baton and pointed in the direction where the Gimagith Brigade was located, "This is the only way for us to approach, and we have ordered all the red-handed soldiers to prepare to discard the large baggage, the spearmen with spears to follow the cavalry line and break into formation, and the skirmishers and auxiliary archers all board the caravan and accompany the charge!" ”

As a result, when the soldiers and vehicles were shouting and starting to set up the formation, the crowd of Cuman cavalry hired by the emperor on the flank, when they were two centuries away, suddenly rushed out, and when they saw Gawain's red hand banner, they came to the front of the formation and galloped continuously, shouting in Greek, "Is His Highness Kovan of Tarsus opposite?" Our Khan King is the great Yasen, who once sank a white horse at the Great River (Danube) and made a brotherly covenant with Venerable Gawain, please do not rush to war with me His Highness Gawain, Yasin Khan is willing to release a path to prove friendship! ”

It turned out that in the area of the Iron Gate Fortress in Bulgaria in the past, the king of the Sikuman Khan, Yasen, had made a brotherly oath with Gawain, and also gave Gawain a precious bear blanket, so Yasen said so at this moment.

Gawain fixed his eyes, and the team under the command of Xhosa in the southwest was also approaching, but the general may have been defeated by the Red Hand Brigade at Allarmanburg before, and when he saw the familiar flag and the familiar vermilion lacquer infantry spear, he also stood up and did not dare to come forward for the time being.

"Arrange all the eight Persian perfume bottles we are carrying in the caravan, and hide all the pyrinthians and archers behind the chariot at the same time, right in front of Arsen's team, and listen to my orders, and cast them when he approaches." Gawain whispered to Merlot, "Yasin is deceiving me, what a shrewd man the Emperor is, how could he let this man exercise his will freely?" There must have been a lot of the emperor's officials in the Cuman cavalry array, so we will take him by surprise at once. Then Gawain said to Bramsson, "After the fire salvo is fired, and as a signal, you and I will take all the cavalry and charge at the Xhosa troops, while Merlot directs all the infantry and vehicles to form a dense formation, and before the Emperor's main force arrives, rush desperately in the direction of the camp of the Gemagith Brigade, and crush any enemy along the way over their corpses!" ”

"Yes!" All the generals received the order in unison, and then ran towards their respective posts.

On the west side of Gawain's formation, after the shouting of Cuman Khan, sure enough, the soldiers who had been in line to resist the defense put away their spears and began to drive in other directions, leaving only a ring of side-by-side caravans, and the horses and earthen baskets in the gap, about a distance of nearly a thousand feet, like a portal waiting to be pushed open at any time.

"Haha, Gawain was fooled! All the bayi (as the Cumen call for the nobility) rushed over with their soldiers, smashed the barricades, rushed into the center of the enemy's position, and slaughtered the greatest and most glorious victory—I am a fox and a wolf with bloody talons on the steppe. Yasen Khan twisted his sparse yellow beard and squinted his evil little eyes, howling like a thin wolf.

The flags danced, and the Cuman cavalry in the front line kicked and beat their horses in the belly with their boots, and the mounts began to move their hooves, and hundreds of thousands of them made a dense clattering sound like a tide, and trotted towards the western side of Gawain's formation.

On the southwest side, General Xhosa stood up, and when he saw this scene, he was shocked: "What is the enemy doing!" Actually withdrew the position on the western flank, leaving only empty vehicles, allowing the Comalojans on that side to drive straight in? ”

But at a distance of eight or nine hundred feet from the front of Xhosa, Gawain and Bramson led all their cavalry in a double line, like a frozen wall, in front of them.

Over there, the Cuman cavalry let go of the reins in their hands and jerked in the saddle, getting faster and faster, and getting closer and closer to the barricade line, and all the horses were close together, maintaining the same speed, and converging into a mighty "river".

"Hahaha Gawain, I don't care about the alliance of brothers, not to mention that I don't have any real feelings with you at all, I prefer boys with smooth bodies - you are too old and have too much beard and hair!" In the back of the formation, under the fluttering of the colored flags, seeing the surprise victory in front of Yasen Khan, his smile became more and more exaggerated and rough, holding a wine bag in his hand, drinking and singing loudly.
