Ander Odat immediately followed out with the box, and when she saw Gawain outside the tent, holding the shadow of the horse, Anna was still a little surprised, and also complained, "What is it that makes the big barbarian so mysterious?" ”

But Agnes was so excited that she almost jumped up, it seems that although Gawain is stupid, but there is also the advantage of coincidence, he actually asked her to be by Anna's side, or for a day and a night, and she had just carefully observed, in this tent, there was only one bed!

When Agnes closed her eyes, thanking the Virgin and the pagan goddess Minerva, the "hula" sound blew and stirred her hair, and it turned out that the fat eunuch tore off a blanket very seriously and spread it in front of her, "You can deal with it tonight, sleep here." ”

"You" Agnes was furious, all the wonderful things she had thought of being intimate with Anna on the bed, which only a girl with ice and jade could do, were all shattered at once, and she remembered that this fat bastard who was not a man or a woman was also left by Gawain to accompany him, and he should be the role of surveillance.

Outside, the fire was shining and flickering, and the guards cast shadows on the curtain, constantly being torn apart, and the sound of wheels was endless, and it seemed that Gawain was also busy this night, and Agnes was so angry that she didn't bother to ask, so she lay down on the blanket, and then her eyes peeked back slightly: as a result, under the candlelight, Anna was still writing hard, and the fat eunuch deliberately stood in the middle, like a wall.

"It's okay, I'm the bartender of the Dalian team, and I am also the chief officer of the Brachna Palace, I can go three days and three nights without rest."

Agnes made a disgusted look and rolled over to sleep.

However, it was early the next morning. It seemed that there was still the sound of wheels rolling outside the tent, and Anna's eyes were worried. He stepped out of bed and made a silent gesture to Staulajos. Passing the eunuch who tried to stop her, she quietly walked barefoot to the curtain.

With a slight sound, Agnes also got up from the blanket and held Anna's shoulders, and the two of them looked at each other and smiled, and then opened a gap between the curtains, and looked at the Dalian team from the blue-gray color in the early morning:

The warriors of the guard formed a cordon along the scarlet tent and then outside the flag. Several of the local two-wheeled carts, pushed by the armed group of pilgrims of Gottschalk, all dressed in black robes with special markings pinned to their chests, were then seen by Anna and Agnes to see that in the carriage were piled up with bloodstained bags, which were covered in round shapes and seemed to be shaking with the jolts.

Anna was so frightened that she immediately lowered the curtain. The back was shrugged, and the fat eunuch hurriedly brought the water cup over, and the two girls were stunned and took the water glass. He took a few sips, then sat down slowly, pulled through the blanket and wrapped himself in it. Still trembling, it's not just Anna now. Even Agnes understood the real reason why Gawain had sternly told them to stay in their tents and not go out last night.

So Anna's lips trembled. After a few more sips, "What is this going to do?" ”

Stauracos, who had a general understanding of what was going on, whispered, "Your Excellency, the commander of the march in Asia, will send the heads of more than 4,000 soldiers of the Sultan of Konya to Bohemond and Godfrey, saying that it is for the early capture of the city of Nicaea."

"More than four thousand, the first rank," said Agnes in a distracted manner, and then she remembered that it was these things that were shaking in the bag on the two-wheeled carriage just now, and that she was responsible for giving the blueprints for the transformation, which she had used for this purpose before the ships that had not yet brought Civet, and she almost vomited.

But in the camp of the Franks to the north of the city, everyone cheered at the arrival of these heads, and Gawain made it clear to everyone, "The city of Nicaea has no supplies on land, and no reinforcements will come, the whole valley and the hill are under our control, and the Sultan of Konya has fled far away from the valley of Ores, and now he may be in Dolilaam, or he may have fled to Konya." ”

Even Bohemond was very happy, and he boasted that the reason why Gawain was able to achieve a great victory in this siege was because he lent the Holy Banner Company, "Even Gawain himself admitted that Tancred and Brad's company were the sword blades of all his troops." ”

Two-wheeled carts, four-wheeled ox carts, and mule carts, all loaded with bloody heads, and full of flies that had appeared in the new year, stopped in front of the council camp, and when the generals and lords of Bohemond, Gawain, Godfrey, Baldwin, and Tetisius came out, they were smoked by the smell of the fish.

Gawain, who was covering his nose, looked at Godfrey, meaning to tell him to make a decision.

"Three emirs, seven atabergs, and more than a thousand iktagazi heads. Seven hundred were sent to Civet, where they were shipped to Constantinople and handed over to the Greek emperor, and the rest were placed on a stone-throwing machine and thrown into the city of Nicaea. ”

Behind the walls on the north side of Nicaea, many Roma soldiers stood up vigilantly, especially in the corner towers, and hurriedly prepared pikes and bows and arrows, and when they saw the pilgrims rumbling from the camp with lever throwing machines, about a dozen of them, lined up in front of the moats, and erected wicker shields, they were filled with the thought that the enemy was coming to storm the walls again.

Soon, more and more Roma soldiers climbed up the ladder to prepare for battle, but soon it was seen that in front of the Frankish and Norman stone throwers, there should have been stone bullets, but now they were human heads, black hair, dark red or reddish-brown blood, and some were covered with chain mail, neatly stacked in triangles, next to each stone throwing machine.

Suddenly the city was plunged into a great and silent terror.

With a small sound, the lever rose, and the first head drew a long arc in the air, but failed to throw in, but smashed into the wall of the corner tower, and then rolled down to the bottom of the city, but then, more and more heads flew and tossed, coming from all directions, some smashed on the city wall, some were thrown behind the stairs, and some fell into the pheasant moat, rolling around.

The identities of many of the heads were immediately confirmed.

"Don't cry!" First the officer said this, and then even Hajib ran to maintain the morale, but the spread of this mood was beyond the control of manpower, and soon after the pheasant was gone, the Roma soldiers holding their heads cried in unison, accompanied by gnashing of teeth, and even the vizier, who was supervising the battle in the palace, heard it.

This is what Gawain said, dirty work.

But I have to admit that the dirty work on the battlefield is often very effective.

It's the same this time.

In the palace, Shah Namei and the son and daughter of the Sultan soon sat down in Ibn. In the presence of Maimun, "the Sultan's reinforcements have been defeated, and the heads that are now rolling here and there in the city, the esteemed lady of the warriors of his army, the time of decision may come." ”

Shahnami shivered and hugged her children tighter (to be continued. )
