Although later Ander Odart. In the book, Nisitas has a brief and legendary account of the "Battle of Fort Antioch Lesser" (not that the name is inappropriate, because the fortress is still nearly thirty kilometres away from the two armies, and the two sides fighting the red-eyed at the moment can't care about taking Little Antioch) is brief and legendary:

Both sides marched on Antiochus the Younger at the same time;

Both sides used a buggy map sandbox and skewed their march in the fog;

As a result, Gawain's army reached an unnamed river, which is clearly marked on the map as the location of Fort Antioch Lesser;

The Emperor's army was no better than that, and lost its way, and 10,000 men entered a barely sheltered wilderness, where they were caught off guard by Gawain's troops. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

But the more legendary episode is not something that Ander Odart, who did not personally participate in the battle, can tell with his pen. At the second minute of the first hour of noon, the whole battlefield reached a cruel and white-hot situation: in the central position, Gawain's thousand red-handed cavalry were fighting with the emperor's mixed army, the Praetorian archers, the Varangian guards, the Plonian cavalry, and the Hucong serfs. And on the periphery of this furnace of weapons and horses, Gawain's two wings of spear array, and the emperor's heavy spearmen are in a fierce battle, one side is about to break in, and the other is defending to the death; On the outermost periphery, the emperor's two wings of light soldiers, in the outermost two places, the arrows were like rain, like flying locusts; The entire battlefield has become a bloody whirlpool of slaughterhouses, devouring the lives of all participants, everyone is surrounding each other, everyone is trying to break through, everyone is eager to kill the opponent's commander, and everyone is desperately defending their own leader.

Among the staggered halberds and axes, Sabina under Gawain's crotch was exhausted, blood-stained armor, and her four legs were constantly bending and trembling, but the whole battle situation was still in a stalemate and wrestling - the Plonian cavalry adopted the tactic of "one horse and two people", the heavily armored cavalry was sandwiched in the middle, and an armed serf private soldier on each side, holding a shield and swinging an axe, and several columns in front and back, and the red-handed cavalry were like two walls fighting endlessly, not giving in to each other.

Stray arrows rained down on Gawain, he had already killed three standard-bearers in succession, Pragit was wounded and retreated, and then Parni was also shot back by an arrow, although Muzafiadin was hit by several arrows on his armor, but he was still heroically defending the great lord's protector, one of his shields had been thrown away, and this one picked up a riding spear with one hand, stabbing the enemy soldiers who surrounded him left and right, "Master, did you deliberately favor Goliath today and let him stay in the camping city and not fight?" ”

"Stop talking nonsense, swap Quicksilver for Sabina." Gawain shouted, "See the general with the purple cloak and the gilded helmet on his head!" He was Emperor Komnenos. ”

"What?" Muzafiadin looked at the black-bearded general who was on the outskirts of the battlefield and forced by many archers and axemen, it turned out that he was the emperor of the empire, so imposing and majestic on horseback - the master was really biao, and dared to fight to the death with such a supreme figure.

"Beast!" Alexios shouted angrily after the staggered chasing men, and then raised his heavy bow (archery is a necessary skill of the Byzantine royal family), and his teeth were full of bowstrings, and he was an arrow at Gawain, who could even see the other party's arrow cluster spinning rapidly in mid-air, and he hurriedly lowered his head to avoid it, only to be shot away again by the red hand feather ornament on the top of his helmet.

"Shoot him!" Gawain stood up and shouted to the Emperor as he continued to draw his bow.

"He's the father of the princess in purple!" The Turkic servant hesitated, but he had already quickly hooked the nimble recurve bow in hand, inserted the spear into the stirrup ring, picked up three arrow feathers, and fired at the emperor with rapid fire.

As a result, the feather ornament on the emperor's hat and helmet was also shot away. The second arrow of the Turkic servant hit the cavalry of the inner guard, and the third arrow broke the large flag rope behind the emperor diagonally, and the tip of the spear on the top of the flag broke and fell.

Alexios clasped his horse's belly between his legs to keep the beast from scurrying in terror, and then turned around and shot a second arrow, this one of which was a cluster of arrows with a four-cornered shovel head, mixed with his anger, "This was shot for the dead Anna", but aimed at the military servant who was defending Gawain's side.

The big arrow at the head of the four-cornered shovel roared and flew in, and the moment Muzafei Adin's body was shot, Gawain saw that the quiver he was carrying was pierced by the shovel head, and the fragments and arrows exploded and flew everywhere, "Muzafei Adin!" Gawain shouted with red eyes, seeing the military servant turn over and fall off his horse, at this moment Quicksilver was whipped by the two horses, galloping towards him, Gawain roared angrily from Sabina's back, jumped on Quicksilver's back, and then released the reins, holding the tribulus chain hammer in one hand, and pulling out the cavalry axe from Quicksilver's saddle bag with the other, as fast as lightning, breaking through the barriers of the Plonian cavalry, and more than ten cavalrymen like sharp knives, rushing towards the emperor!

The emperor, who was really about to raise his bow to shoot the third shot, saw Gawain's fierce look, his beard opened angrily, he didn't even want his helmet, stretched his hands like scissors, and attacked him, and suddenly he was a little flustered, so he hurriedly threw the bow down, and held the double hilt of the sword at his waist to avoid the oblique stab.

Several Pronian privates tried to tear Gawain off his horse on foot, but Gawain became one and danced the chain hammer in his hand, which he had acquired from the Norman knight Raul, and smashed it horizontally, and a row of Pronian private serfs had their skulls torn apart, their weapons destroyed, and they were all knocked to the ground whining, and then Gawain's quicksilver stepped like a sharp blade piercing cheese, stepping on the tumbling corpse and crossing it.

The Emperor's bodyguards, armed with bows and arrows, fled with the Emperor for no apparent reason, and then the Red Hand Cavalry broke through the Walled Lines of the Plonian Cavalry, and the battle turned into a scuffle.

Rushing straight to his imperial camp, the emperor whipped his horse whip angrily, and at this moment the entire imperial camp was full of defeated soldiers who were regrouping, and the only thing left to maintain the array was the emperor's "Orphan Bow and Arrow Guard", "Shoot at the evil beast riding the silver-white war horse!" ”

The arrows then came like a whirlwind, Gawain and his companions rushed twice in a row, but they did not succeed, and the hanging bell on Quicksilver's chest also had a few crooked arrows inserted, and Gawain could only turn his horse back in hatred.

However, to his disbelief, when he returned, he saw that his Turkic servant, a bastard of good fortune, actually got up from the ground again, grinned his teeth, and was carried back by several horses and cavalry: the emperor's arrow cluster destroyed Muzafi Adin's quiver, but it also saved his life, "My ribs, my ribs!" "Muzafi Addin's flank was obviously scratched by the powerful shovel head arrows.

The shadow of the sun began to tilt westward, and in the middle of the bloody battle between the two sides, each elite cavalry paid heavy casualties, and the men and horses were even more tired, so they sounded the horn at the same time, temporarily retreated hundreds of feet, and regrouped the team.

"My reserves!" Alexios, who was furious in front of the imperial camp, and Gawain, who had retreated, shouted this sentence almost at the same time, but the answer they received was the same, "Your Majesty (the Great Lord's Patron), we have no reserves available. (To be continued.) )
