"If he doesn't come back, we won't necessarily win. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Branas replied.

Gawain sat down a little angrily, "Melo is still recuperating from his injuries, otherwise I can entrust this place to him." ”

"Are you going to withdraw your troops?"

Gawain nodded, "There's no need to fight hard, Tetisius actually created a new city defense system in Prusa City, and the effectiveness of our siege artillery has been canceled out a lot, and now Theodoro is starting to stir up." It doesn't make much sense to go down, but I can't completely give up the siege of Prussa. After saying that, Gawain stood up again and pointed to the map hanging on the grille screen, "We can't give John's side a chance to counterattack, then Samos, Lydia and other newly occupied areas will have an unstable tendency." Therefore I intend to build an advance station at Dolilaem, and then build several equally new ramparts around the city of Prussa, besiege it for a long time, and bring down John's militaristic economy. Then Gawain turned around and paced a few steps to himself, seemingly thinking about a long-term plan, and asked Lower Blanas first, "What do you think of the lineup of the besieging army?" ”

"You can leave my Guardian Brigade and the Hierapolis Brigade to besiege here, and you can take the Red Hand Brigade and the Geemagis Brigade back with you; If the forces were insufficient, the four thousand men of Lord Brenus at Philadophiam could be transferred, and the three thousand men of Monomachus and Birell of Pisidia could be drawn - these forces together would be sufficient to form a long siege of Prussa. Gawain nodded in approval of Branas's proposal, and he raised his finger to add, "Capturing the city of Prusa and cutting off its supply lines from the sea is the key, and we must have our own fleet immediately." ”

"But building a fleet is by no means done all at once." Branas expressed concern about the works.

"There is a quick solution, and I will go to Smyrna to discuss it with Anna at once...... By the way, the city of Prusa of Tetisius was actually built with several independent protruding earth platforms, and then the entire city defense became a large concave shape, and the moat was widened, and the soil on the originally erected city wall was turned into a low slope to offset the damage of the shelling, and artillery was laid to counter us, this way of piling up earth is indeed fast and cheap. Gawain walked back to the map and pointed to it to teach Branas, "After I leave, the siege commander here will be handed over to you." Note that the city of Prussa is surrounded by mountains on the north side and a river to the sea to the west, so that Tetisius can resist us as long as the walls at the east and south ends are well protected. What you have to do is to rely on the existing artillery forts and car bases first, and continue to bombard the eastern city wall of Prusa, and the Khitan snow reserves are enough. Then I commissioned the Einsatzgruppen to build a fortification along the moat of the southern wall, keeping a parallel route to it - the fortification mode was immediately handed over to the engineer Gedier to solve, the main body was civil engineering, and the perimeter was properly covered with stones, and the quarry of Afyon was immediately appointed to speed up the processing and production. Once we had successfully fortified the southern front, I had Samuelfa come here to cast longer siege guns and more powerful mortars, and improve the recipe for Khitan snow, while I handed over all the construction of the military station and road transportation to Giovanni, the magistrate of Iconium. When all the steps are done, we will be able to break the barrier of Tetisius! ”

The plan of the great lord and the guarantor suddenly gave Branass and other generals confidence, and they stood upright and said to Gawain, "Obey the order, we will definitely succeed in building the fortress!" ”

"Remember, as long as we besiege Prussa to the death, John's kingdom will be brought down by us sooner or later." Gawain finally encouraged, "I will bring back the two brigades of Red Hand and Gemagis, because I want to start a war against Theodoro and David at the right time, this is one of the few two-front offensive and defensive battles in the country of Tarsus, and it will be a long time and a thousand things, so here I will give carte blanche to General Branas, the 'Earl of Agalum', as the supreme commander (Brenus can only stand aside and engage in logistics), and have all the power to deal with the situation at the right time, and there is no need to report to me for any instructions." ”

When the generals in the tent had been ordered to retreat, the military servant Muzafiad-udin entered, "Caesar's letter from Smyrna." ”

"Oh, it seems that the raid on the islands of the Holy Sea has been arranged by Anna." Gawain sat back in his chair and opened Anna's letter, but his brows furrowed when he looked at it, and finally slammed the letter on the desk, which frightened the military servant, "Nonsense! Gawain thundered and was furious, "Immediately build a fortress to besiege Prussa, all the generals, soldiers, and craftsmen are all working on their lives, and the front line is asking for money, stones, wood, and craftsmen." This little girl has gathered so much money and manpower, built a royal box, and a bullfighting arena, and even bought Moorish bison from Africa-I don't want to reply to this letter. ”

The Turkic servant lowered his eyes and whispered, "Caesar just wants you to come to the newly built royal box to accompany her and your children. ”

"I'm afraid that my children will lose to John in the next generation!"

"Then master, you should at least write back and reprimand the master."

"I will not write, nor will I return to Smyrna. Immediately I took the brigade from Dolly Laem. Gawain waved his hand angrily, "Anyway, if you want to write simple Greek, you can write a letter for me, and say that I can put the cannon that was immediately cast on the royal box and destroy the city defense of Prussa?" Also, the 4,000 soldiers to whom Brenus belonged were to go to Prusa, and they could not draw reinforcements from Crete, and told Caesar to chase the order back, otherwise the Venetians would intervene and the situation would become tricky. ”

After finishing speaking, Mu Zafei Adin babbled and held the reed pipe pen, standing in front of the case, not knowing whether he was looking for words or avoiding responsibility.

"If you don't want to write, then I'll ask Firactos to write it. No, I wrote it myself. Gawain said even more angrily.

The next day, the Great Patron commanded two brigades and all the cavalry regiments, and began to evacuate from the city of Prusa to the east, Gawain hung his head on the mare's saddle, feeling a little frustrated, and behind him the artillery forts built by the besieging army were still whistling and firing cannonballs, and the outer ramparts of Tetisius were fiercely fired, and from time to time the flying stone pills stirred up a cloud of smoke and dust on the surrounding hills and wastelands, with a dull crashing sound.

After all, this is the first big city that Gawain seized after the Warden George after his first visit to Rong, and the past is really vivid, but now he has to return with the persistence of Tetisius?

On the way home, Gawain's eyes narrowed: the rivers, gun emplacements, slopes, trenches, etc., of the city of Prusa, turned into a complex of numbers and patterns of flying wild, and they were grouped together in his mind; Then he was anxiously judging the overall situation in Anatolia, and now he hesitated again - to take Prusha on the Western Front first, or to take Theodoro on the Northern Front first? The latest situation in Crete was also involved, which made his mind even more confused......
