At the same time that the emperor was in full swing, Gawain also held a military meeting in the camp on the south side of the camp, "If the confrontation continues, or take the initiative?" Gawain held the scepter and raised the central topic. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"If you continue to confront each other and do nothing, then I am afraid that it will be in the hands of the emperor. The forces of the other side besieging the camp were comparable to ours, and they were scattered in several places, and we should concentrate our forces on breaking one of them. "Wesat. Melo was the first to answer, winning the support of most of the generals.

Gawain stood the thorn of the scepter on the edge of the sand table and was silent.

"Ever since the Emperor captured our camp, his camp has been able to join forces with the Konya side, and he can get reinforcements from there at any time. Since the emperor sent false news in advance, and he finally personally commanded the southern army, he was naturally determined to capture Milio Sephalon, and the elite team of the empire would unconditionally pour into the hands of the emperor, and the battle situation and troops would also change rapidly. Gregor, the general of the Gimagis Brigade, spoke out about Gawain's real concerns.

So the archmaster raised the head of the scepter, and in full view of everyone, pointed in the direction of Konya, "Gregor is right, the key to this battle is - how many men will Konya's Imperial Northern Army draw to join the Emperor's military camp here?" ”

Everyone present was also silent, they generally felt the atmosphere of tension and game, when the emperor of an empire dispatched all the military strength to the top, this kind of pressure was also very terrifying.

Because no matter what the era, it is always those factors that determine the outcome of a war: manpower, will, and material money.

Since Seleucia's current strength is only a fraction of that of Emperor Komneni's empire, the only way to break this unfavorable situation is to rely on surprise soldiers.

"Great Lord Guarantor, I am willing to lead a surprise attack on the Gaofu position on the right flank of the Emperor's army, expel them (Yagfei), and cut off the grain route between the Emperor's military camp and the city of Philadofiam." At this time, General Orsin, the commander of Jinat, took the initiative to ask for help.

Gawain shook his head and waved his hand, "There is no point in doing this, now the emperor's grain route has been changed from the original stretch to Philadofiam, to the same as his northern army, that is, along the Roma plateau all the way from Nicaea." ”

"Then we will directly fight the emperor's own team in the mountains on the north side?"

"I have investigated the Emperor's strategy of attacking our army's other camps before, and he has a large number of elite barbarian archers, including Cretans, and our army will be seriously killed if he rashly attacks. What's more, the emperor has definitely received reinforcements from the north now, and he has nothing to fear. This plan was also vetoed by Gawain.

"Little Antioch Castle." Eventually, Merlot locked his eyes on an inconspicuous corner of the sandbox, "Now this place has become a stalemate, it has become the key to the entire battle, if you want to mobilize the emperor's men, it is best to divide your troops and occupy this place." ”

The people hurried forward to see that Fort Antioch the Lesser was located in the middle of the point between Conya, Milio Sepharon, and South Cappadocia, and at this time on the shore outside the whirlpool of war, and was defended by two or three hundred Roma soldiers. Merlot was right, once the small Antioch Fort was captured, it would mean that the flank of the emperor's camp would be cut off, and Gawain would be able to lead the cavalry to set off here, and within half a day, he would be able to rush to the city of Konya, break the siege of Brenus, and truly cut off the emperor's food routes and retreats. In addition, the occupation of Fort Antioch Minor was aided by the "Anna Mounted Cavalry Regiment" in South Cappadocia, who were on their way to the place at this time.

It can be described as killing three birds with one stone, and Gawain soon agreed with this plan, "The key to breaking the deadlock lies in the gains and losses of Fort Antioch Jr." Before the Emperor could react, I personally led the army to the other side and asked the defenders of Gilligi to hand over the keys to me, so that the Emperor's camp would be counter-encircled! After saying that, Gawain's scepter arced in the direction of little Antioch on the sand table, and the fragments flew wildly.

"From the rise of my family on the plateau to my ascension to the supreme throne, every step of the way has been soaked in struggle and blood. Twenty years ago, I ascended to the throne with the support of the Roman senators, troops, and citizens, and when I rushed to Durazzo to fight the Norman bandits, I had only 500 loyal guards willing to follow me. Guiscat, Zahaas, Giliki, Berdin, and the chieftains of Pecheneg and Cumans coveted the power and wealth of the imperial capital from all corners of the empire, but I fought them off one by one with skill and cunning. Now, the little Seleucian traitors will be no exception, and my army will be unstoppable like a hurricane, from Milio Sepharon to Tarsus, to Syria Gate and Antioch! I am the one who has saved and preserved this great empire over the years, and I am the emperor recognized by the Lord and the people. In the royal tent, Alexios threw the long scepter in his hand on the sand table and waved his hand.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we have started as a guerrilla of the Pilgrims, from the occupation of Tarsus and Seleucia, to the present day when almost the whole of Cilicia has been united, and it has not been more than three years, this is the power of divine revelation, and I, Gawain and the princess in purple, are destined to be the patrons of all Rome. From having a large team of less than 10,000 people at the beginning, to now ruling over a population of more than 700,000, I have nothing to fear, and I have no regrets, and I am glad that you have been able to fight side by side with me from beginning to end. Now my plan is that the unification of Cilicia shall not be slowed down, but the subsequent expansion of the territory shall not be impatient, and that I shall give me another five to ten years, and I shall thwart the attack of the Emperor and the Empire, and I shall destroy the Emirate of Danishmund, and I shall surrender Trabzon and Greater Armenia, and Cyprus; Then I will raise the flag with you towards the Imperial Capital on the other side of the Holy Sea, and our sword will pierce the narrow strait, pierce the crown of the Empress of Ten Thousand Cities, and then take it off and offer it to Anna. In the other side, Gawain's scepter kept beating on the palm of the other outstretched palm, and said to the generals.

"Immediately call Brenus to march towards Fort Antioch Lesser, and then tell Melais and Yagfi to empty their defensive positions, and send two thousand elite soldiers, and I will personally command four thousand of the most warlike cavalry and archers, and go to join Brenus, and as long as I capture Little Antioch with one blow, I can really cut off the external connection of the camp of Milio Sephalon, and when the time comes, Gawain will either foolishly go out to break through the siege, or retreat back to the valley of the Mut River, and then I will get rid of Konya and Karon, and break the wings of the traitors, Then he went south to level the plains of Seleucia and Cilicia, and hanged Gawain. The garrison of the camp here was handed over to Harold. Everyone, rally around me, and remember that you are warriors defending the borders of the Empire and the faith, and that there is no record worth writing about you ever since. After the Emperor finished speaking, he drew the Sword of the Holy Sea, and the cold light was refracted on his face. (To be continued.) )
