In the vast and chaotic battle camp of fanatics, all kinds of shoddy icons swayed, and Orthodox monks in ceremonial robes shouted slogans such as "Preserve our rituals of reverence for the Lord and defend the orthodox faith" to boost morale. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

A small cavalry contingent of about one hundred and forty Plonian landlords and their servants and privates lay in front of them, looking apprehensively and nervously at the opposite barricade, for unlike the peastic army, which consisted mainly of peasants, they had experienced the battle formation, and knew the impregnability of the vehicles on the opposite side, and also understood the difficulty of the frontier army hidden behind them with arrows and spears, not to mention the support of the elite cavalry of Tarsus.

Twelve large caravans, covered with iron bars and shields, were arranged in front of the barricade, each about a hundred feet apart, with trenches, breastprints, and wooden fences dug in between, and wooden poles erected to prevent arrows, and each chariot was equipped with archers, musketeers, and lightly armed soldiers armed with flails, iron forks, and axes, and a frontier flag officer with a lantern flag stood on the carriage to command, not only the soldiers of his own chariot, but also the Nikitas party members behind the wooden fence on the right side of the section.

Thus, the front of 1,200 feet was almost impassable, and the two wings of this position were extended by improvised wagons and earthen ramparts, and the frontier soldiers covered with leather armor and holding spears about ten feet high (about three meters) were half-kneeling in front of them, and the tips of the spears were arranged like reeds sticking out, and on the surrounding small commanding heights or roads, there were small detachments of frontier people stationed on them, each with a small flag echoing the instructions, and jointly defending the city of Philadelphia behind it.

On a cliff to the east, but on the rest of the hill was a gentle slope with a gentle slope of General Monomachus's cavalry, firmly guarding the right flank of the rampart, ready to gallop down and slaughter.

"This kind of formation is by no means something that this group of instigated farmers can deal with."

What's more, the Nika Brigade from Prussa City had also copied the rear of the Zealotic Army, occupying several hills, and was eyeing it.

Then the Plonian landlords began to hesitate again, and they pulled their horses together with their bridles, whispering that the hope of victory in this battle was extremely slim, and that they had to do something to save themselves at last.

When the protracted confrontation had entered the night, the Plonian knights met in their tents on the spur, and everyone thought that it was almost enough to "make trouble" to this point, so they sent a representative to secretly ride a horse, with a white flag cloth tied around his shoulder, and wade through the aisles, woods, and streams to negotiate surrender.

It was Roland who received the delegate. Bandinelli.

"On behalf of the Great Guarantor, I welcome you to surrender in time, don't please understand, this kind of surrender is not the key to our victory, but the bottom line of your life."

When Roland saw that the other party was submissive, he then made a request, "When the decisive battle comes, you withdraw from the battle line and go to the rebels' rear camp to attack and set fire." After the completion of the work, the Grand Guarantor will carry out a reasonable policy of redemption of your land. ”

"Ransom?"

"Yes, it is a ransom, and you surrender the prison lands and incorporate them into the special crown domains. Then give you a certificate of the equivalent treasury bond (after this term is spoken, the other party also has a watery expression), and the redemption money will be repaid to you in installments through the treasury bond. All of your private servants will become free peasants, and if you want to continue your military career, you can register for the corresponding Gospel Estate. After speaking, Roland's face stretched forward, and the dim candle flame shone down his chin, looking particularly gloomy and terrifying, "There is only one chance left, you must know what a favorable condition this is!" As long as you hand over what is not your own, you can hold the national debt and obtain the holy fiefs as cavalrymen. You must be fully grateful for the generosity of the Patron of the Lord and the Patron, or you may inquire how we dealt with the rebellious Jinats in the valley of the Mut, where the great tree of the rebels still stands, and the branches of the tree are strong enough to hang the corpses of a hundred and forty men for the second time......"

Frightened, the representative immediately agreed, and then stayed in the barricade to act as an instructor for the Pronians to defect in the decisive battle tomorrow.

At dawn, in front of the chaotic camp of the fanatics, everyone saw that the Pisidian Border People's Army had begun to "attack" them.

The border people formed a strict formation according to the formation of 100 people, first filled in the trenches dug earlier, and then drove out of the positions with spears in the rumbling caravans, the dust and smoke from the boots were filled, and many military dogs were running around and whining and roaring under the sound of horns, as if eager to tear people's throats.

Soon the cavalry of Komaloy and Oghuz also galloped down the hillside, linking to the right flank of the barricades, and the cavalry waved vividly with small flags on their spears, accompanied by a noise of brass trumpets and cymbals.

All the horsemen came to a halt about seven or eight hundred feet away from the zealot's front. Then the twelve wagons rolled on wheels, and under the command of their flag-bearers, they came together to form a makeshift little fortress, and joined them together with straps made of cooked cowhide: a belt of ox was better than a rope, for an ordinary sword could not cut through their toughness.

Then several perfume bottles on wheels were mounted on two-wheeled carts and pulled out by oxen.

Field artillery has been divided into two categories according to caliber and length, one is larger, and is pulled by four oxen; There is also a class of light rapid-fire guns, which are enough for two oxen. The car was also loaded with push rods, ignition rods, Khitan snow barrels and shells. They were controlled by a small detachment from the artillery regiment, and these gunners surrounded the perfume bottle cannon in front of the small barricade, and the border militia also inserted about thirty shrimp whisker cannons with iron pins in front of the formation, and the muzzles of the guns were slightly raised, all of which were aimed at the fanatics on the opposite side.

Then Roland, dressed in a vestment of Dharma and wearing iron armor, rode out of the formation in the form of a Protestant dervish, and shouted in fluent Greek to the Orthodox fanatics who were scattered across the valley, "It's just a land policy, and most of the confiscated assets are monastery assets, and have nothing to do with most of you." On the contrary, you will receive your allotments and a great share of the profits—so do not disobey the will of the Patron of the Lord and the introduction of the synagogues, and go back and pick up the hoe again. ”

In the ranks of fanatics, several Orthodox monks shouted, "No more deception, the devil is already in Stephen. Gawain has an egg in his belly, he wants to destroy the Orthodox faith, he wants to hatch it with the blood of all our believers, release the most terrible and filthy evil beast, and then destroy the world! ”

"The devil's egg!" Thousands of fanatics shouted these words, holding up their flags and icons and shaking them as the sound shook around the city of Philadelphia.
