Chapter 15: Order of the Feast (II)

Gawain said to the sleeping officer that your idea is very novel, but the Greater Armenia region and the Fascis port on the western shore of the Yukchen Sea, separated by the mountains of Erzurum and the Lesser Caucasus, are not connected at all. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Isn't that what this is for?" Wen Ruomina suddenly said, "Giving Great Armenia an outlet to the sea is enough to make their chamber of commerce feel uplifted and loyal to you, and it is also in line with the unification of Persia with the commercial power of the Ani, His Highness the Patron of the Great Lord. The goal of the Oriental trade in the Sea of Yukexinghai. But this outlet to the sea is not connected to its inland land, so the end result is that the Ani merchants are concentrated in the port of Fascis, and the soldiers and farmers are concentrated inland, and they cannot unite when they come in, and there will be no threat to you. ”

"Interesting, you should go on."

"Yes, and I also think that it is possible to divide the Aras River (which flows across the whole of Greater Armenia) into two regions, north and south, and that the highnesses of Ani, Doin and Kars in the north may be returned to all the Armenians, and in the south the region of Lake Van may be crowned with a descendant to rule, as my servant I have previously suggested."

"Descendant, do you think I should give it to Khlistopher?"

"Nope." Wen Ruomina hurriedly shook her head, "This will do more harm than good, His Royal Highness Helistov is your future orthodox heir, if he is divided into Van Lake, he will definitely have his own bureaucracy and general team before he becomes an adult, and then he will come back to break out into power infighting." ”

"Well, then only Turianus and Caleadios are left." Gao Wen was thoughtful, and then he stared at the sleeping officer who was looking up at him with blue eyes, "Wen Ruominna, maybe I shouldn't be in a hurry to make a choice, right?" As I said to you earlier, the feast has not yet opened, so there is no need to rush to make the list of seats public. ”

"Your Highness is wise, as it is." The sleeping officer replied very gently.

"And the future Great Armenia will also need a nominal king to rule. In your opinion, what kind of situation will it be when the time comes? Gawain stood up at this moment, the glow of the sunset pacing the golden red halo on the top of his robe, and he weighed the scepter in his hand, and asked his sleeping officer about this more interesting topic.

"Your Highness must have a plan in mind, so I don't need to talk too much. I think His Highness must have had his own unfathomable ideas about letting Hercules be the king, while raising the siblings of Torus and Lolita at the same time. The sleeping officer replied.

"Very well, Wen Ruominna, I will continue to serve in the court as my confidant and counselor in the future. Not only to assist me, but also to assist the next generation in their internal affairs. Gawain looked back with high expectations and approvingly said to her.

After the two finished speaking, the falcon "Captain" suddenly hissed, and then all the soldiers on the Sanuh Heights heard fierce banging and shouting from the east of the city of Kars, "It's the combined forces of Haddadi and Sylvan that have begun to attack the target, which is good." Gawain pointed his scepter at the figure of Carlsburg and said affirmatively.

At this time, the warden stood in front of the easternmost outpost of the castle and watched the battle below.

It was integrated with the outer wall of the kars, and the outpost was built on a protruding earthen platform, but it was guarded by stone walls and a half-waist line of stakes to prevent the enemy from climbing, and the walls above were densely drilled with holes and spear holes. Look straight down the eastern slope here – and the fierce battles in the town of Chialt are unobstructed.

The allied forces wrapped in colorful turbans once again took the lead with the firecrackers, shooting in a row as they went, and this time under the "training" of the shooting sergeant sent by Gawain, this group of Kurdish shooters has obviously improved. A musketeer was followed by two servants with light horses on their backs, and each section of the march was set up to block the horses, and each team staggered its wings to cover and fire, with shuttle darts and archers in the middle to cover the loading gap.

On the reserve front of the coalition army, Caesar's armored cavalry with heavy armor lined up in a conical formation, cheering majestically in the rear.

Zacharias, on the other side, was very calm, he circled the town and the river behind him, and began to defend the battle according to the Byzantine discipline, calmly holding down the position. So although the shooting was boiling, it was actually garbage time for both sides to fight along the outer trenches of the town of Chiat: this is what the captor saw.

However, the progress of the southern Guardian Brigade made the defenders more difficult, and after several days of artillery fire, several gaps had been blasted out of the Karsnan outer wall, and the large Prani cannon suppressed the damage to the maintenance personnel, and by this day the Guardian Brigade had laid pontoon bridges over the moats and pushed counterweight ladders to seize the tower's commanding heights.

Fierce offensive and defensive battles broke out on both the east and south sides, but only the main forces of the two sides faced off in the west. The Northern Front, which has always been in a terrible silence.

Four days later, the Guardian Brigade had largely taken control of the outer walls of the Carles.

Gawain promptly ordered the 4,000 men of the Bellerophon Brigade on the Muha Hill (not yet in strength) to follow up quickly, and cooperate with General Branas to break through the southern slope between the inner and outer walls, and engage the defenders in a white-knuckle street battle.

After another two days, the buildings on the southern slope were either burned down or captured by Branas's men. General Mahadzeri, who had really retreated to the main fort at the pinnacle, finally felt a little overwhelmed, and he ordered all his soldiers to take turns squatting on the five-fold pheasant moat and tower at the Ota Gate to rain fire and fire ballista guns on the southern slope, and at the same time worried about the gains and losses of the two outposts on the east side.

Because these two outposts are actually related to the main fort on the ridge, that is, the top of the hill where the Calsburg is located is flat from east to west, in other words, as long as Branas captures these two places, he can set up artillery at the location of the fort and knock down the wall from the "Bellam Gate" in the east.

For the first time, Mahadzeri waved the signal flag to the north on Chakmak Hill, asking the builder David to give him "reinforcements" at the right time, at least to send a detachment across the river through the north gate of the castle, so that he could have a surplus army to reinforce the two outposts.

One of them was guarded by the captors.

When the letter arrived, David the builder climbed the high slope, observed the whole battle, hesitated for a moment, and agreed to send 1,500 men into Kars.

But soon the horn sounded on the heights of Sanukh, and Gawain's Red Hand Brigade moved, and they went straight to the northeast. In the direction of the south-west diagonal axis, it suddenly struck towards the valley where the Armenian Ambassador's Church was located.

"Gawain is going to prepare to intercept my reinforcements there, and then stimulate me, hoping that I will send the main force to fight him?" David, the builder who overlooked the scene, judged with exasperation.
