Then Vasak was even more bold, waved the bunting a few times, and then dragged Mushg forward. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Surprisingly, the enemy troops behind the rejection of the horse at the checkpoint seemed to be intimidated by Vasak's bravery, and they didn't dare to shoot anymore, even though the chain mail on Vasak's body refracted the light in the night, and the sound of the guns quickly thinned out and even stopped.

The two of them actually ran in front of the river with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and then stepped into the knee-deep water, and struggled to rush to a small sandbar in the middle of the river, "You are really brave! Mushg was so tired that he collapsed on the edge of the sandbar and said in admiration to the "Persian jackal" Vasak.

Vasak glanced at the scuffle at Fort Jim behind him, with his eyes that shone brighter than his dark face, and the rest of the mercenaries were either killed or captured. After observing and making sure it was safe, Vasak half-knelt down and tore off the corner of his coat and bandaged his wrist for his deputy, "Don't linger any longer, let's continue on our way." ”

When they had continued their march for nearly half a giul, they threw down several ropes and collapsed in front of a cliff covered with spikes, thorns, and thistles, and Vasak delicately removed all the obstacles, and then the soldiers guarding the tower heard the noise, raised their torches, and drew their bows to aim at them.

Mushge hurriedly waved his hand and shouted a few words.

"He injured his wrist and threw down a soft ladder." Vasak looked up and asked.

After a while, the soft ladder was thrown down, so Mushge slowly climbed up with one hand, and Vasak covered behind, and the two climbed up the outer wall step by step, finally out of the "danger......

The next day, at a pitch outside the main fort, General Mahadzeri personally honored the brave Vasak mercenaries by promoting him to the garrison of one of the easternmost watchtowers in the inner city, and rewarding him with twelve old gold coins of Sorid, but because of the tense siege, "six were given first, and they were replenished after victory." ”

By the time the trumpets sounded, the trebuchets of the Outer Defenders Brigade and the Bellerophon Brigade were already throwing fire or stone pellets at the houses on the southern slope.

Mahad Zeli still did not let him into the interior of the main fort, he just sent the gold coins tied with ribbons to Vasak like a medal, and continued to make Mushg his lieutenant.

However, in the short time of the ceremony, "Vasak" had seen clearly: the outer wall of Kars should be 12,000 to 13,500 Anna feet in circumference, and the main fort at the top was actually built along the moat on the west and north sides, in an irregular square shape, and its east-west wall was accurately calculated by the guards in their minds, about 1,200 Anna feet, and now Mahadzeri and where he stood was the south gate of the fort, with the inscription "Ota Gate" engraved on it.

The east gate is also easy to explore, known as the "Bellam Gate", which is a fixed passage for the soldiers in the fort to get to the two independent outposts on the east side.

What worries the guards the most is the west gate and the north gate that they can't see, especially the latter, which should be the main gate of this Karls castle, if you break through here, Karlsburg will be useless, but it is hidden out of its sight, and it is not clear how it is regulated.

After the guards had been delivered to the outpost on the eastern side of the inner city, on the heights of Sanukh, where Gawain was, the servant armies of Haddadi and Sylvan, led by two princes, arrived within a few days.

Gawain set up a banquet in the tent, which was organized by the one-handed sleeping officer Wen Ruomina and the confidential officer Firaktos who accompanied him on the expedition to entertain the two, of which Manushihel raised 2,500 people (the rest stayed behind in Tortomi), and Ahmadi also cobbled together 3,000 people, and Gawain used his baton to draw a "range of attack and defense" for the two of them on the same day - to give me a separate attack from the eastern front of the castle, the goal is to capture the town of Chiarte opposite, so that I can threaten to cut off the back road of the builder David's main camp, It can also create a situation of encirclement on three sides of Karles.

Of course, Chiarte was by no means unguarded, with 3,000 elite Ani soldiers under the command of David the Builder, including 300 heavily armored cavalry who had terrified the two princes in the previous Battle of Roy.

Manushihel and Ahmadi faced this order, but they could only bear it.

"Your army is five and five hundred men, and the defenders of Chiarte are only three thousand. In addition, in order to strengthen your attacking force, I have sent a Caesar's mounted cavalry regiment and an artillery detachment there to serve as your reserve. Gawain generously promised.

But they both knew that these armies were not so much to help them as to oversee them.

The banquet in the scarlet tent was quickly over, and Gawain stood on the back slope of the Sanukh Heights with his scepter in his hand, looking at the sunset and clouds in the west, evacuating his mood, and the military servant Muzafiadin was holding the "captain" on a wooden frame beside him, feeding it fresh meat.

Wen Ruominna, the sleeping officer, walked over and asked the chief guarantor if he was satisfied with the banquet she had organized.

"Well, you and Firactos handled it well." Gao Wen raised his chin and said approvingly to the sleeping officer in the distance, "Wen Ruominna, I think that in addition to paying attention to the deliciousness and comfort of the dishes, it is more important to arrange the order of the guests. That's right, it's the order, and a successful feast organizer can often manage a county, nay, even an empire. ”

"You're ridiculous." The sleeping officer lowered his body with wide eyes, flattered.

But Gawain seemed to mean something else, so he didn't stop talking, "It's not a problem to destroy Theodoro and David the Builder, the focus is on how to deal with the northern part of Greater Armenia, Trabzon, Chaldia and Georgia, and the Aran region, it's the same reason that you rack your brains at a feast and how to arrange the order, Wen Ruomina." ”

"I think you should consider dividing your own heirs to guard the future kingdom of Tarsus." In the end, the sleeping officer plucked up great courage and made this suggestion.

"Oh? You can talk about your opinions, Wen Ruomina. Gawain lifted his scepter and tapped it in his other palm.

"Forgive me, the only house slave from Adigai has ignored the previous warnings of Caesar and the great patron and began to agitate against the royal family's strategy!" Wen Ruomina was nervous and inferior.

"It's okay, let's talk. Even if it is a servant and a master, is it not the closest friend? Gawain sat down on the low chair with a pleasant face.

"Yes, yes. I just think that in the future, Haddadi will be able to be divided into Kutaisi, but the outlet to the sea, which is the port of Fasis (today's port of Poti in Georgia), should not be given. ”

"Who should it be given to?" Gawain continued to ask with a smile.

Wen Ruomina's forehead was slightly oozing beads of sweat due to nervousness, and her tone stammered a little, "According to my opinion of the lowly slave, can I give the Fahis, the outlet to the sea, to the Great Armenian Kingdom that will be revived in the future?" ”
