"I must admit that under the cliff alone lay the horrific corpses of eighteen hundred infidels, and countless horses and weapons, and I mobilized a full hundred wagons to pull them all out. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info and in front of and inside the camp of the chief who offended me, there were also many corpses that had been killed and trampled to death, and together I had obtained three thousand five hundred Turkic heads, and had rescued countless captive and enslaved Christians. According to my scouts, Merrick fled to Meritene in complete discouragement, and he was no longer in a position to threaten the Pilgrims anytime soon. I am ready to take advantage of the victory to persuade the city of Samosata, and then conquer Ravodra and Thubesena, and completely destroy the weak kingdom of the Armenians. ”

After reading Bohemond's letter, Gawain immediately used the paper cutter beside him to cut open a reed pen tube, inserted the tip of the pen that Anna gave him, dipped it in ink, and replied: "...... I must remind you that you should stop for a moment after you get it in Samosata; Because as soon as Constantinople and even the city of Pisa came to support Armenia in secret, it was not worth it that you might have to fight an invisible enemy right away; Second, Raymond has set out on a pilgrimage to the place of pilgrimage, and the pilgrims have no intention of continuing into the mountains of Marásh to serve your cause; Thirdly, if we miss the honor of the Holy Land Restoration War, then the loss will not be compensated for by the raiders Marash......"

Then, after handing the letter to the messenger, Gawain said to Androdart, "Immediately take back the Bramson task force, and tell them to march towards Seleucia—as for me and the contingent outside the task force, prepare now, and swear to-morrow to fight against the Emperor's conquest army." ”

When Gawain's reply, sent by Pegasus to the camp of Samosata the next evening, for Bohemond to see, the lord laughed and said in the presence of Bramson and other Seleucian generals, "Gawain is a little jealous of my exploits, and the spoils that come with it. But that's normal, and I can understand the helpful jealousy that men have for men. ”

With that, Bohemond invited Bramson's task force to the siege position, and the siege of the castle with a force of more than 17,000 men was carried to the city: the Normans carried the captives from Merrick's camp in dyed purple clothes, all kinds of precious stones, and carried groups of captives to show the city.

In the aisles of the acropolis' dungeon, Ostu and his men were on Mesander's neck with their blades horizontal, followed by his panicked sister Tang Wu. At the exit at the other end of the aisle, several Armenians, also armed with weapons, were about to release Messander, only to find that Osto had already taken the lead - he had killed the prison guards and pulled Messander as a hostage, "There is no hope for this castle, and we are ready to surrender to the Apulian princes outside the city." The Armenian shouted.

"Yes, but if this Mesander were in my hands, the Normans would not have slaughtered this castle, and I would have given her in exchange for her life. Now you are so hasty that you let her out, and then you will lose the last chip in your hand, and Bohemond and Tancred will kill you all. I'm not that stupid. Estu hid behind the woman who was being held hostage, the blade flashing with cold light, and Tang Wu begged his brother not to hurt this innocent woman in the back.

"The Duke of Apulia has promised us that he will not slaughter the city as long as Mesander is safe."

After receiving this answer, Ostu sneered, "Well, you let the Normans into the city first, and as long as my sister and I can get out of the city from the north gate towards Meritane, I swear that I will leave this woman safely in front of the road out of the city." I swear to Allah Allah. You have to believe me, it's not that I don't want to surrender but I can't, Tankred will definitely kill me anyway, my sister and I just want to live, and we don't want to have a bitter grudge against the Normans. ”

"Yes, my brother listens to me best, and I will not tell him to kill Mrs. Mesander. I lost my husband and I know the pain. At this time, Tang Wu also shouted at the Armenian garrison officer.

The officers looked at each other, shrugged their shoulders, and said that we swear to each other in the name of God, that you may not be holding this Tancred woman hostage for the time being, and that if Bohemond breaks his promise, we have a bargaining chip to recover.

At nightfall, when the soldiers in the city who had reached an agreement to surrender opened the city gates with a bang, under the firelight and moonlight, in front of their eyes, was the white and hideous face of the laughing red-bearded Bohemond, an expression that was even more terrible than his anger, "God's will! With this shout, Bohemond pointed to the faint Acropolis palace behind the city gate, and the Norman knights beside him immediately stepped forward, drew their swords and slashed and trampled all the garrisons standing by the city gate, and then raised torches, one by one, they burst into the city, and the soldiers and the people of Samosata were terrified, and then despair, and the screams and groans of the whole city - Normans in chain mail, on horseback, on foot, with swords and battle axes, chasing and slaughtering all the people, The fire burned in the burning house - Bohemond took the castle and broke his oath without mercy, "When the sun rises tomorrow, the city will be a castle of the Apulians, and there will be no more rebellious elements!" Redbeard shouted viciously, pointing his fingers up viciously.

"Uncle, uncle, my Mesander! Beforehand you said you would keep her safe. Tankred next to him was shocked, pulled the reins, and shouted to Bohemond.

"I forgot, but this huge fortress will never be swayed by an alien woman. Tancred, you shouldn't have this Ani woman, she's still Reuben's cousin, you forget about her too, hahaha! With that, Bohemond rushed straight into the city, and soon disappeared into the streets full of the dead.

Tankred gritted his teeth, rushed to the burning ruins, dismounted and dragged the dying garrison officer, "Where the hell is Mesander, if you don't want the massacre to continue, just tell me." ”

The officer pointed in the direction of the north gate and swallowed. Beside the two men, a group of Norman cavalry was smiling and shouting at a rapid pace, and the sound of horses' hooves was shocking.

The whole of Samosata turned into a closed furnace, and the light of fire and killing shone on it, lighting up the night sky, and when Tancred rode to the north gate, he found that it had long been sealed, and the corpses of the people who had been killed were piled up, and there was no Mesander, alive or dead, to be found.

"Uhhhh Tankred shouted angrily, turned his horse's head, and trekked through pools of blood to run towards the Acropolis Palace. (To be continued.) )
