Bramsson, who had been sent by Merlot to take charge of the order, rode like an arrow on his hip and galloped towards the camp in Niš, and the cool evening breeze hit his face, half cool and half burning, and when he reached the gate of the camp, his smell of wine was completely gone, so that when he dismounted, and faced the iron-faced military judge Giovanni, he felt very proud and lucky.

"Good work!" Gawain in the tent, after listening to Bramson's statement, immediately threw the bankrupt knight a money bag, the other party took it with joy, Gawain took a deep breath, took the holy armor from the pylon, and hung it up, and then handed the scimitar and token to Muzafiadin, "Go and gather all the troops, except for the three companies, the rest are ready to go to battle!" ”

Muzafiadin immediately ran out smartly, and then Gawain turned and said to Androdart, who was sorting out the papers, and to Giovanni, who was standing in front of the tent, "You two work closely together to be in charge of the remaining duties of the battalion, and you must not trust the Grand Duke of Nish too much. The two bowed their heads to receive the order, and then Gawain walked out of the tent and patted Sabina who was tied to it, "The battle below may be far away, dear you don't have to be tired, I will ride Quicksilver this time." ”

An hour later, all the soldiers in the entire camp who were ready to go lined up in columns according to the military regulations, and looked closely at the standard-bearers of their respective companies, Gawain tied his helmet around his waist, rode a silver-white horse, and shouted to all the soldiers in the column, "Merlot, the commander of the march ahead, has very urgent information coming here, two greedy and evil dukes of the Kingdom of Hungary, one is Nikita of Zemun, and the other is Guz of Belgrade. They are all in an ulterior motive to deceive my brother Peter. With the lies of the support, it lured tens of thousands of pilgrimage co-workers and brothers and sisters. Entering the wilderness of Belgrade, now they lack food and clothing, and are not able to help their wounds and diseases, Nikita and Guz send cavalry and archers to attack them one after the other! Brothers of the Dalian team, you say Stephen. What should Gawain do? ”

"Fight, fight! Bring the true wrath of the Lord upon the heads of the wicked! All the members of the Italian and Greek companies raised their swords and spears in unison. Roared.

"In this battle, I want the company of craftsmen to be at the forefront, because the punishment for these two dukes will be to completely capture and raze their castles, so that they will never be able to do anything to endanger the ranks of the pilgrims." Gawain waved his big hand, and then the company of craftsmen who had been instructed to get out of the camp gate with a bang, holding a frame saw, axe and other equipment, pushing a heavy catapult and a crossbow.

Subsequently. They tied their heavy projectile equipment to two-wheeled mule carts and, under the cover of the rest of the infantry and cavalry, advanced towards the wilderness of Belgrade, leaving behind Andreev's company of sailors. and all the servants to serve as their guards, and he himself led a company of cavalry and a company of infantry at a gallop. Be the first to rendezvous with Mellot and Walter.

Walter. Sanzabal, embraced with Gawain, who dismounted. "My brother-in-law has been trapped for a few days now!" Gawain was anxious.

Walter was very touched by the prefect's impatience for justice. "I have been ordered to come and ask for the assistance of His Excellency the Grand Duke, and I have been away for three days, and the enemy's cavalry is still searching for us."

Gawain was furious, "Bramson, you lead a team of cavalry to search for and attack, and Mellot leads another team to follow and set up an ambush in the direction of Bramson's flank. Muzafi Addin was by my side, and the commander of all the infantry followed, and if he saw any enemy, he drove them out and killed them, leaving a tongue among the ten men. ”

The first to see the wrath and horror of the Red Hand Brigade was a troop of scouts sent by the Hungarian Duke Nikita more than ten centuries away, most of them Magyars, wearing dark red cloaks, felt hats and helmets, and after seeing Bramson's cavalry, approaching them without warning, the Magyar people thought that Bramson was also a pilgrim who had escaped for help, so they howled and rushed with spears and bows and arrows.

Bramson skillfully arranged his cavalry formation, he himself followed the Mingkuman standard-bearer, with his two-handed sword on his back, crouched in the saddle, staring closely at the direction of the enemy's attack, the outer part of the team was full of lightly armed Cuman riders, and inside was the Lombards in armor and holding the spear of Kantos, and the whole team did not waver in the face of the killing Magyars, but kept a dense distance between the heads of the horses, with rhythmic commands, and slowly ran towards the enemy.

"Whoosh", the Magyars shot arrows on horseback, some swept over the heads of Bramson's cavalry, some were blocked by the small shields on the arms of the Cuman archers, some fell in front of the horses' hooves, and several people in the whole team were shot off their horses, but others quickly drove their horses, accurately filled the vacant positions, and continued to move forward. Then the Magyars rode their horses again, regrouped, and fired another round of arrows at Bramson's cavalry, but they remained the same.

At this time, the Cuman cavalry took out arrows from their quivers, suddenly formed a dense formation, and took advantage of the fact that the Magyars on the opposite side had not yet dispersed, and broke out a terrifying cry that was enough to make the opposing horses frightened, and then the bowstrings rushed like thunder, and the accurate and powerful shots shot the Magyars to pieces, and many people were shot off their horses. But this was not the end of it, and then the Cumans quickly dispersed from both sides - the Lombard cavalry at the back and in the center, with their cantos and spears, launched a devastating close assault on the Magyars, who were either killed or wounded in the direction of the spears, and they no longer dared to fight back, but turned and fled towards the city of Zemun, the Duke of Nikita.

At this time, Merlot and another group of light cavalry also rushed out of the dense forest on the side, and slashed with arrows and swords, killing many lone Magyars, capturing two of them, and escorting them to the front of Gawain under the banner of the infantry company behind.

Gawain swung the sword of phosphorus fire and cut off the head of one of them, and the other saw the blue fire spewing out of the cavity, and was so frightened that he did not dare to raise his head, and fell at the feet of the Grand Duke, shouting in tribal barbarism, begging Gawain to spare his life.

"I won't kill you, but I need you to act as a guide and take the army behind me to Zemon Castle, where your master is, and talk to him!" Gawain said coldly to him, and then the interpreter conveyed the words, and the Magyars hurriedly raised their hands to show unconditional obedience to Gawain's request.

The city of Zemun, located halfway between the Sava River and Belgrade, is considered the border terminal of the Kingdom of Hungary, its border with Bulgaria, and the only point on the way to Constantinople.

Originally only sent out a chasing party, Nikita, the Duke of Zemon City, was then greeted by an army of about 5,000 Red Hand Companies—and by the time Nikita reacted, their infantry and craftsmen had occupied all the wilderness and passes except for the mouth of the castle, and they were coming with great speed and ferocity.
