Chapter 13: The Secret

Agnes was also in a good mood at this time, and even raised the wine cup back to Gawain, "That's right, Callegos, a lowly family, has finally become a rat in a bag." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info However, how to implement the sentence behind you, big brown bear? ”

Gawain just smiled and asked Agnes to continue to supervise the construction of other siege equipment, and she didn't have to bother with her brains about matters outside the war.

In the early morning of the next day, when Tetisius arrived at the same time with 4,000 troops and horses, he was surprised to find that even though he traveled dozens of gullis a day, he still could not save the situation of the entire Aralman in time: a huge swamp overflowing with chaos was in front of the army's pace, and the only land bridge with an open back sandwiched between the seas was completely blocked by the Gawain siege team with ballistas.

On the other side of the swamp, the wheat fields under the big city and between the walls were all cut and taken away by Gawain's soldiers, and the fortress itself was also trapped and killed on three sides by Gawain's more than 7,000 horsemen.

"From the mountain trail in the small town over there, launch an armed reconnaissance." After observing the terrain, Tetisius sent several small forces up the hill in an attempt to cross the swamp and make contact with the defenders of the great city: but within half a day these small forces were slain to the point that only a few remnants of the army were defeated, and they returned in a panic, because they were ambushed and intercepted by the detachments of Dim and Monomachus who had also sent them as they passed through the mountain stream, and were defeated.

"Did the enemy flood the swamp by opening the floodgates of the Alalman River in the mountains?" After Tetisius learned the truth, he thought that the current situation had really deteriorated to an extent beyond measure, and that even if the emperor and the prince had thousands of troops, there was nothing they could do in the face of the moat of the swamp; Gawain, on the other hand, completely saved his military strength and was able to besiege the fortress with all his might.

After pondering bitterly, the general ordered the whole army to camp down, and then he summoned the two brothers, Leo and Tiga, "This is the case, and it is useless to be anxious and impulsive, but it is easy to fall into the hands of the enemy." Then he gave an order—the two brothers, Leo and Tiga, to lead the original 300 men (who had already suffered casualties), and Tetisius allocated another 300 men and horses, and combined them to attack from the mountain division in turn, and fought for control of the Alalman mountain stream gate; He took 2,000 men and horses with him to support the two brothers.

And the slave Axeppocaus sent by Prince John was appointed as a messenger by Tetisius, and gave him a fast horse, telling him to quickly turn back to the north, and get in touch with the emperor and the prince's successors respectively, "Let the emperor issue an edict as soon as possible to mobilize the fleet of the fortress of Tsarcidon to the south, and ask the prince to mobilize the people of all Panphylia and Lydia to make and carry wooden pumping machines, the more the better!" Now we can only rely on such clumsy efforts to save the situation. ”

Just as Tetisius, covered in sweat and covered with dust in his hair and scarves, was everywhere directing his soldiers to set up camp and line up, and set up banners for the attack. The soft morning sun had just been projected on Gawain's couch through the scarlet tent, and the "rabbit" from Persia crawled and squatted on the file bookcase with a fat body, squeaking below, like a victorious general sitting in a carriage, with a ghostly expression on his face, which came in one step before the female consul: Kabeamiya had the feeling of the mistress of the tent at this time, and she crept through the curfew like an ordinary woman, and came to the sleeping Gawain, He waved his hand and invited the Turkic servant who was sleeping with him, and then pressed the hot towel to Gawain's nose.

Gawain howled, and was just about to scold Muzafiadin, but he saw the black hair of the female consul and the pretty face of the Persian charm, "You should get up and preside over the overall situation of the whole army." If nothing else, the Empire's army is about to arrive. ”

"Anxin Holy Sister, there will be no problem." Gawain yawned and propped himself up, "You were in the same camp with the little sunfish last night, right, she hasn't woken up yet?" ”

"That Prani girl is now in high spirits, and has long since gotten up to oversee the siege. Last night she not only studied the drawings in detail, but also wore beautiful bewildering pajamas as if she was going to bed, and deliberately dangled in front of me for almost half an hour before falling asleep. Cabeamia said, first half-knelt in front of Gawain, very intimately raised a hot towel to iron his cheeks, and then stood up again, and carefully shaved Gawain's face with a razor.

Hearing such a description, Gawain smiled bitterly and reminded Cabeamia, "Be careful when you go to bed at night, she is clearly sent by Anna to supervise you and me, and secretly wants to pretend to be a public servant." ”

At this moment, Kabeamia's lips were pressed against Gawain's ear, soft and soft, with a hot and humid breath, "I tell you, that Agnes still has some special fragrance on her body...... Of course, I understand this fragrance......"

"Don't make a noise about this, Holy Sister ......" Gawain didn't wait for her to finish speaking, and pinched the slender and beautiful fingers of the female archon.

"You don't care about your little princess's special ......," said the archon, taking the opportunity to complain.

"There are some things that I understand. But I don't want to overdo it over Anna, I think she'll always be a fawn in my garden, and a foal in the wilderness, and by the way, wouldn't it be nice to keep the other clever Lespos foal on my feet? Gawain explained.

"Then I want to taste what it would be like to have two beautiful foals together." Cabeamia, a little dissatisfied, gnawed on Gawain's earlobe and threatened.

"That's right, call me with me when the time comes, it's okay not to be a rider, I just want to be a shepherd to prevent you from running around in the circle." Gawain's shamelessness made Cabeamia helpless, so she patted Gawain's cleaned chin, threw the razor on the plate with a loud voice, swung her sleeves, and left angrily with the rabbit.

In fact, the Grand Duke was able to hold her back and keep warm on the couch for a while, because of all the deployments, Giovanni and Wright and others skillfully helped Gawain do it: all the besieging teams began to dig long entrenchments around the three lands of Alalmanburg, and signal flags were set up between the camp and the small city to coordinate with each other.

By noon, the five "Great Plani Cannons" were also dismantled under the command of Agnes, and carried by ox carts and horse-drawn carts to a position only 650 feet away from the castle, where they were rebuilt and repurposed to throw stone projectiles back and forth into the castle of Alalmanburg with impunity.

After accurately ranging this, Agnes divided the five large plani cannons, the first two and the last three, the first two to attack the castle's core tower, and the last three to take turns attacking the eastern walls and gate towers. (To be continued.) )
