Chapter 71: One Copy. Double

Robert, who was shocked, did not know the battle between Germanico and Angras, nor did he know that his brother-in-law had been captured by Gawain, and that he only knew in the tower that "Theodoro. Gabrias, the Greek general, suddenly commanded a large army to invade my territory. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½ā€

So Robert hurriedly appealed to General Marinus, who was stationed in Castamonu, and asked him to report this terrible and terrible incident to the Emperor, and at the same time sent a messenger to Fort Germanico asking for help, "Brother-in-law, save me!" He rushed out of the castle with dozens of knights and sergeants to find out.

On the seaside plains, among the vast fields and pastures, the banner of the Black Madonna was conspicuous by the peasant army of Trabzon, and the soldiers set fire to and plundered people and livestock everywhere, and the detachment advanced towards the castle.

Robert. Curtis had scarcely rushed to them, and before he could ask anything, the vanguard of the Trabzon peasant army shouted and lined up the wooden forks they had carried with them, and then lined up, and the dense arrows whirled down the wind and fired at Robert.

Enraged, Robert threw on his armored horse and rushed towards the other side, but he heard the dense crowd of men and horses on the other side constantly shouting, "Robert has indeed surrendered Gawain and is the enemy of the Empire." ā€

"Sure enough, send a detachment of Alans cavalry to rush to capture this Norman traitor!" Theodoro waved his baton without thinking under the banner of the Black Virgin - the commanded Alanist cavalry column burst out like a light arrow, and the thunder of the horses' hooves reached Robert's ears in an instant, and when the newly promoted lord of Pveral saw the Alain light cavalry that swept the ground, he didn't even dare to reply to Peveral, "Could it be that the Greek emperor secretly instructed this general of Trabzon to take the opportunity to trap me?" No, I have to go to my brother-in-law! He fled out of the plains with all his followers, and into the mountains of Pontus in the south, where he ran wildly for a day and a night in the paths full of cold fog and thorns, before he saw the advance of the Guardian Brigade.

Robert was received by soldiers of the brigade and said that his brother-in-law was waiting for him in Germanico.

In this way, Robert handed over his horse and weapons, and continued south under the "protection" of the Guardian Brigade until he actually saw his brother-in-law at Fort Germanico.

"Brother-in-law, Peverar has been ......," he raised his hand gloomily as he anxiously reported to the Count of Blois in the camp, "don't talk about Curtis...... My castle has also been lost, and what is the point of saying this......"

"I'm sorry, because General Theodoro also answered the call of the Great Patron and began to rebel against the tyranny of Komnenos. Capturing Pveral is only the first step, and then the old general will have to capture Sinop and Kastamonu all the way! "Branas, the true master of the camp, generously condemned the battle.

The Guardian Brigade then set fire to the fortifications of Fort Germanico and took all the armed food from its fortress, "Now that Pveral has been captured by friendly forces, let's draw the world and return to Anglas!" ā€

At this time, in the middle of the Peverar Fort, the soldiers of the peasant army division of Trabzon stood all over the city walls and towers, and the military flag was waving everywhere, "Long live the Black Virgin, long live Trabzon, long live Gabrias!" The slogan was deafening. When Theodoro rode into the city gates, the whole scene reached a fever pitch, and the four soldiers immediately rushed over with their shields in hand, "Get out of here." The old general's guards warriors whipped and beat with sticks to disperse the drunken troublemakers, but more and more soldiers excitedly embraced the shield and chanted the holy slogan of Christ and the Virgin, and many of Theodoro's faces showed warm and terrible expressions around the old general's horse, and pushed the guards away, pulling the bridle and saddle of the old general's mount, "If I don't agree, this group of peasants will tear me apart on the spot......

Eventually, Theodoro's feet stepped on the shield and were held high in the core by hundreds of soldiers, and the cheers drowned out the roar of the tide north of the city.

"Hooray, hooray! Let's march to Sinop, let's march to Kastamonu! No one can turn back, and they must keep their sacred vows today. Countless arms and fists were raised and waved excitedly, and all gritted their teeth and swore to each other that they would be completely loyal to the old general's great cause. But there were also many peasant soldiers who took the opportunity to shout in a mixed manner, "General, please give us a promise in return for your efforts." ā€

"I will divide all the terra nullius lands I have conquered along the way. The ordinary infantry received one share, and the peasant knights received two shares. Theodoro was also excited, and immediately issued such a slogan.

"One, two! One serving, two servings! "More than 10,000 Trabzonpeasant troops, shouting such slogans, were in high spirits, carrying weapons and equipment on their backs, and stormed in the direction of Sinop Fort without camping at all.

The entire Pontus mountain range on both sides was caught in a frenzied whirlwind of flames.

The Emperor's envoy saw the Trabzon rebels swarming outside Sinop, and they were captured before they could negotiate, and the peasants and soldiers all seriously and sternly "admonished" the old general Theodoro, "I hope you will not be a traitor who betrayed us and went to make peace with the Emperor!" ā€

At this point, the plateau was originally divided by the emperor with the "honest man's defense system" (Diognis, Robert. Curtis and Stephen, the emperor originally thought that it was most reassuring to place these three loyal and orderly figures on the front line), and under Gawain's attack and discord, he had been completely torn apart and bankrupt. And Theodoro. Gabrias, also secretly driven by Gawain, could not contain his ambitions and stood on his own feet at Fort Pravel.

"Alright, now it's time to deal with the emperor with all your might. Remove the soldiers and horses that the emperor must send to block Theodoro, and there are still 40,000 to 50,000 enemies left......"

On March 23, under the siege of Angaresburg, Gawain, who had not continued his northward march at all, was immediately out of range of the crossbow machine on the city wall, and shouted to Diognis, who was gritting his teeth at the head of the city, "Germanico has been destroyed by me, and Pveral has been captured by Theodoro, and the rebels are marching towards the main force of Komnenos in two directions. Therefore, Diognis, you better surrender to me, or I will bury all the guards alive and skin all the officers when I break through here. ā€

"Wishful thinking!" Diognis angrily drew his bow and fired three arrows at Gawain's banner as an unyielding reply.

However, Gawain was not interested in storming the lonely city of Anglasburg, and he left the Defender Brigade to continue to surround the isolated city, while he himself swaggered around with the Red Hand Brigade and the rest of the army, advancing along the southern bank of the Sakarya River, "to return to the flank of Firomeron and annihilate Brenus and Raymond before the Emperor comes."
