But Biller was a "boar in armor", and he defended the walls of Adrianople with ferocity, making it difficult for Kaddam's siege team to move forward. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Because the fort was originally a distribution center for supplies, a lot of gunpowder and guarding equipment were gathered, especially countless iron fires, which were frantically thrown on the walls and towers by the border soldiers organized by Billel, and burned the ladders and siege towers made by the Kadam infantry to the ground.

So Kadam himself angrily scolded Billel, who supervised the war on the battlements, saying that he was originally a Lombard and loyal to the Duchess Matilda, but now he turned away from his old lord and took refuge in Satan Gawain.

"I have received the military rank and rank given by His Majesty, so I have to serve His Majesty!" Birel's worldview is very simple.

Angry, Kadam forced the cannon fodder infantry he had entrapded, and attacked the city wall again with a cloud ladder that had been cut down. The border guards of Adrianople continued to fly and throw the improved "Iron Fire Hammer", which was more well-made, with a separate wooden handle extending from the lower end for easy handling and throwing, and the fuse and fire rope were also impregnated with a special incendiary agent, making it safer. Later, the defenders behind the wall also used five-pole cannons to throw Armenian light fire oil cans, and raised two rapid-fire perfume bottle cannons to hit and burn one of the siege towers in Kaddam.

By the rising black smoke and flames, Kadam built a pontoon bridge over the Dengjie River in advance to prevent the flanking attack of Gawain's main force.

Sure enough, three days later, 3,000 Gawain cavalry from Vikronburg swept away, and fortunately they set up a pontoon bridge before Kadam - all the Bulgarian rebel cavalry crossed the pontoon bridge to the west bank of the Dengje River, and then demolished the bridge and rushed into the Evros River valley, as if heading for Fort Philip.

This is the greatest advantage of the Iron Cavalry Army.

There, all three of Merlot's brigades were concentrated at Trajan's Gate, and if Khadam reached Fort Philip, Merlot would be in a difficult situation.

At the critical moment, the Macedonian governor Birel mobilized the border people, and used a small boat to build a simple pontoon bridge on the Dengjie River, "I have done this kind of thing in Lombardy, don't underestimate me, I am also an engineer in my hometown, and I am an expert in mills, wooden bridges and ovens." ”

The pontoon bridge was soon built, and Theognes and Evraimius immediately commanded the 3,000 cavalry and quickly pursued the Caddam army.

At the same time, a small fleet of boats on the Evros River that was supplying Fort Philip was fired upon by the bows and arrows of the Kadam cavalry, and the two remaining boats and the people desperately sailed their boats into the water gate of Fort Phillip, and told the garrison soldiers, "A large enemy is coming!" ”

The castle was immediately lit with an alarm, and when Trajan's garrison got the news, Merlot quickly drew three detachments back to Fort Philip.

When the cunning Kadam saw the blazing beacon, he felt that if he attacked the castle again, he would be overwhelmed by the front and rear, so he and his cavalry again drove northward, and soon disappeared into the mountains on the border between Mosya and Northern Thrace.

This series of battles at the end of winter, although the Kadam rebels did not take advantage of it again, also made several brigades and elite cavalry of Gawain tired and consumed a lot of food.

Therefore, General Kadam, who returned to the camp in Versiginia, was very self-conscious, and he analyzed to the remaining bishop Aklida, "In this way, the supply points are held with infantry, and the enemy's territory is ravaged with cavalry, and I guarantee that the whole of Thrace will be lost until the end of the spring of the following year!" ”

"I have received definite news that the armies of the Normans, the Hungarians, the Holy See, and Venice of Sicily will soon arrive at Ohrid under Berdin's command, and will then storm Gawain like a raging storm, and let his imperial dreams disappear like a bubble in the sea." Aklida, who got the news from the west, also felt that the future was full of brightness.

But before the two of them finished celebrating each other, the herald hurriedly came to report - Gawain dispatched a large army, divided into two routes, and the main force of which came all the way to Versigenia!

"How is it possible, how can he still have the spare time to dispatch so many men?" Kadam has many reasons not to believe such news.

For example, in the previous series of battles, Gawain's army needed a lot of supplies and a long period of recuperation;

Another example is that the whole of Thrace was killed back and forth by the army, and it was "plowed" several times, how could it be possible to support the actions of Gawain's more than 30,000 troops (Gawain brought 15,000 men from Adrianople, and Giovanni originally commanded 18,000 men);

Another example......

But no matter how hard Kadam couldn't figure it out, Gawain's army actually came.

In fact, there was no other reason - the Grand Duke of the War House and the Imperial Caesar Brenus collected a batch of grain from Trabzon, which was purchased from all sides by the Khazar sea route, and then transported by ship to the port of Medea, and then transported by Barcelissa in the capital to Fort Vykron.

Enough to support Gawain's general mobilization for three months.

Although Kadam was a battle-hardened samurai and general, he lacked one of the most fundamental talents, which was "strategic vision".

What he didn't know was how terrible the speed of Gawain's supply was after pacifying Asia Minor and Armenia, building communications and using water transportation from both seas. But Brenus had a say, and he later proudly declared in his memoirs, "I was in the city of Prussa, using a ship from the Eukchen Sea, and a bag of grain or meat from the port of Fascis was embarked, and in less than three days I could reach the Bosphorus, and in three days I would be in the steaming pot of the Viklon barracks." What's more, in addition to the advantage of "speed", the advantage of "quantity" is also very obvious, and the great power that Gawain, who has a working population of 5 million, can mobilize is by no means comparable to the Bulgarian rebels.

In addition, before Viklon's departure, Gawain made detailed plans and deployments for the current situation in front of the map table.

"Now we are in the most difficult stage spiritually, the Catholic Church of Rome is against me, and the Orthodox Church has repeatedly hindered me." The Emperor's tone was even a little gloomy, and after saying that, he threw the sword of phosphorus fire on the floor in front of him, and it made a loud sound, and the scabbard and the blade of the sword swirled and slid on it, "If any of you think that I have really lost my mind, harmed the country, the faith, and the people, and am a hypocrite, then pick up this sword and kill me." ”

All the generals were silent, to be honest, now that His Majesty the new emperor has "broken" the old world so hard, they have long been tied to the same chariot and cannot turn back - does anyone not understand the emperor's thoughts? There must be; Does anyone want to kill Gawain? There may be.

But after killing Gawain, what about his own dividends in the workshops of the Special Administrative Region and the large trading company of Iconium?

No one can give a proper answer or guarantee.
