Gawain looked at it kindly, that Bramson was definitely an old soldier, skillfully and quickly put the Swabian two-handed sword back into the long sheath, and then leaned down, tied the money bag that the Grand Duke had just given, and then raised his crossbow, aimed at a shot, and the first Slavic cavalry who rushed forward was in the middle of the shoulder, turned over and rolled off the horse.

The two members of the Brotherhood on either side of Bramson swung their swords and fought with the Slavs who were approaching on both flanks, and behind Bramson was in the tail position of the "star formation", a young knight of the squire from Lombardy, who was also in the Cathedral of St. Nicholas in Bari City, members of the Brotherhood, roared angrily with a cantos and rode a spear, swept Bramson out, and knocked another Slavic warrior off his horse.

At this moment, Bramson had already raised his two-handed sword, urged his horse, and was in a position with the Lombard squire in an instant, the sword shadow like the wind, and several Slavs were in a fierce battle. The squire used a single-edged saber to flexibly block, while Bramson held a powerful two-handed sword, one move at a time, and the horse's back rotated his arms, ready to strike, and was responsible for harvesting on the side, and the cooperation was very tacit, and the Slavic cavalry was killed two or three people in succession, and immediately turned and fled.

In the shouting and cheering, the eight Cuman cavalrymen who had been waiting in advance also rushed out from the side and shot a burst of arrows, and the Slavic cavalry killed in the camp could no longer support it, and fled towards the fortress gate in the chaotic bells.

"Good!" On the hillside, Gawain, who was watching the battle, put the horse's head scepter back into his belt with satisfaction, and then raised his hand, "The whole army blows the horn of cheering." The enemy has fallen into fear, and we are ready to take over their dock forts at once. ”

on horseback. A platoon of cavalry sounded their horns with a loud sound, and the birds in the Stones Valley were startled. Flying all over the sky.

At this moment, Bramson was still chasing the fleeing Slavs, and one of the enemies returned a spear, Bramson sideways to avoid it, but the money bag hanging from the saddle was poked off, and the bankrupt knight cried out in pain, and immediately threw down his two-handed sword, jumped off his horse, and took the money bag in his mouth. He crawled and rolled and picked up coins all over the ground, and one of them was shining silver, and his bones were slipping down the ground, and he was behind him with his hand stretched out.

The three fellow workers next to him, who were immediately raising their swords against the dock fort, were also stunned, at first thinking that Bramson had been stabbed with a spear and fell off his horse, but then realized that he was grabbing a bounty, and everyone immediately felt uneasy. "Such a guy can also go to the Holy Sepulchre?"

Just as Bramson did his best to get the silver coin back, an arrow from the dock fort. A buzzing sound came obliquely, and it happened to stab the place where the silver coin was lying, and it was really an instant of life and death. Bramson jumped to his feet and whimpered. He jumped and dodged the arrows that followed. Continuing to hold the money bag in his mouth, he ran back like a flyer

Soon the small dock fort in the Stohn Valley was surrendered. The Slavs in the interior had not received any news of Gawain's coming, and they bowed down in front of the Grand Duke's horse, "I will not harm your lives, hand over half of the supplies and money in the fort, and return automatically." ”

The Zataslavs, who accepted the conditions, retreated in groups from the back fort gates, driving their livestock and vehicles.

Then Gawain took the money bag and sat down in the middle of the fort, and rewarded the twelve soldiers who had performed well one by one, but the one from Lombardy named Giovanni. The simple squire of Dravia, however full of indignation, fell on one knee with his spear in his hand and appealed to the Grand Duke, "I don't think Bramson deserves to be rewarded with this money. ”

Over there, Bramson, who was recounting the money, was furious when he heard it, "I beheaded three enemies in a row, and I desperately snatched back the Grand Duke's money, and you actually treated a real warrior like this." ”

"You can't go to the Holy Sepulchre like you, the sin of greed is enough to keep your soul back! Originally, the Grand Duke's reward was equally distributed to all twelve soldiers, but you subconsciously regarded it as your own, and you were still stained with the copper stench of mercenaries. Giovanni spoke generously, then turned his head and began to pray to the Lord that he would forgive Bramson for his sins and not harm the rest of the Brotherhood.

After hearing such a complaint, Gawain nodded and turned to Bramson majestically, "Hey, your behavior of dismounting and picking up money just now is really insulting to the decency of a knight. ”

"I was originally the personal slave of the German Frank Caesar (the semantics of the German and Frankish 'knights' are different, the earliest origin of the German knights was the domestic slave of the great feudal lord), and I did not covet this title, and joined the brotherhood of His Excellency the Grand Duke in order to accumulate money and live a good life with fields, mills and ploughing horses as soon as possible." Bramson's reply was really direct and naked, which made Gawain very nervous, and secretly wondered, "Oh, where did the courage you just go out to ask for Ying, is it for these blockages?" However, Gawain didn't hate this guy who was dissatisfied and heartbroken, holding his money bag as if he was afraid of being snatched away.

After all, Gawain also said, "Poverty is a sin", and who doesn't want to live a comfortable and prosperous life? Money doesn't ask about the means, just the results.

A money bag was thrown again, and Bramson reached out to catch it, "The extra one for you, buy your life in the next battle, don't be as reckless as today!" Gawain said, and then he said to Giovanni, who was praying, "You are with Bramson on the battlefield, and I think you two have worked well together in this battle." ”

Next, Gawain's cavalry swept through three or four Slavic strongholds, occupied the site of the Stonic Valley, and set up temporary camps.

About three days later, the fleet sailed, and after handing over the signal, they brought supplies and four infantry companies ashore, and now that Gawain was well on land and water, he continued to send cavalry detachments, in groups of thirty or fifty, to continue to reconnoiter the terrain deeply.

At this moment, the whole of Bosnia was shaken, but in fact, Gawain's Red Hand Brigade did not commit any outrageous acts, nor did they kill innocents indiscriminately, but this group of Slavic people was leaderless, believing that this pilgrimage team would slaughter them, so they abandoned their villages and fortresses in terror, and fled in the direction of the Sava River.

At this moment, Pecheneg and the forest bandit company from Zatar had only arrived at the area fifteen guli away from Stone, and this group of high-minded and unobtrusive bandits, who were no different from bandits, were quickly caught by Gawain's scout cavalry.

"By this description, it seems that Berdin of Za'tar did not send his regular army to fight me." After listening to the scout's description, Gawain nodded with satisfaction, "It seems that my previous letter has somewhat played a role in confusing and delaying him, so let's continue to do it." (To be continued.) )
