But Harold's order was half a beat late, the spear column was unstoppable, and the four "blades" had already penetrated the middle of the Byzantine Roman army and too half of the front line of the right flank, and were advancing in depth, and Andreev also took all the sailor company soldiers and swooped down - "Gawain boy, there is indeed a strange set of tricks!" Seeing that his left front was collapsing, Theodoro feared that Gawain would turn his troops around and attack him, especially his three precious cavalry regiments, so he also turned and retreated, and a hurricane of dust flew up, and the whole valley shook the sky.

Under Harold's instructions, more than a thousand Varangian guards, who had originally served as a reserve for the rear, counterattacked with shields and tomahawks on their backs, trying to stifle the advance of Gawain's column.

At this moment, Harold suddenly heard the cries of battle erupt in the mountains on the side—countless flags were raised on the other side, and there were large groups of men and horses, advancing rapidly, and this was Cabeamia and Dorus. The 800 Einsatzgruppen brought by Lambert arrived in time because the Paulese were very familiar with the situation in this mountainous area, and the men of Dorus among them, although they had no training, were all equipped with the armor of the captured Turks in the previous battle of the East Valley of Nicaea, so the sound was very terrifying from a distance.

The female consul rode on her horse, overlooking the grand battlefield below, and the elder Philus, who was close to her, took the opportunity to say, "Your Excellency, our position has become very delicate now, should you not want it?" because Philus understood that Cabeamia had always been as cunning as the "Konama Fox", and at this moment she suddenly ordered a rebellion. Then Gawain's surprise attack will be counterattacked from many sides, and the elite of the entire Dalian team will be wiped out. After all, the Roman Imperial Army had an advantage in combat power and numbers.

But Kabeamiya really didn't have the two ends of the head rat at this time, but raised the whip with her golden hand. "Our troops all rushed down, made a roundabout attack on the enemy's camp, raised all the flags, and frightened their ranks."

This small team really had a great effect, the three generals on the left, center and right flanks all withdrew to the camp one after another, and even the Varangian guards were pulled back again, but the situation of the enemy sneaking up on the camp did not happen, and the eight hundred so-called strange soldiers were just making a gesture. Soon they were divided into several groups and scattered again along the path they had come.

Taking advantage of this gap in the battlefield, Gawain also collected his troops and returned to the hillside, and then quickly withdrew to the high ridge where Birel was defending half a mile in the rear, and broke away from the battle line. Therefore, the column assault achieved great results, but it did not have time to clean up the battlefield, but Gawain's 2,000 troops also suffered nearly 300 casualties. Many of them were blood-stained in their robes, and after crossing the mountain ridge and receiving the assurance of Billel's cover, they slowly continued towards Gangara Fort.

For the next two days. Gawain and Birrell each relied on their terrain advantage, occupying passes and water sources, and so on alternately covering each other. Retreating in an orderly manner. In addition, the small army of Cabeamia and Dorus constantly harassed on the flanks. The huge Roman army was slow to advance.

Finally, at the time of a mountain range that stretches across the river. Billel, the leader of the team, watched the beacon bonfire burning on it, and the infantry company under the command of Giovanni, all the soldiers were ecstatic, and climbed the high ridge with their hands and feet in ragged clothes, and then under the clouds and the sunset, they saw the Gangara fortress with its large fields, villages, and walls, and the warm wisps of smoke wafting through it, and Anna, who had already entered the city, specially asked the military servants and local heretics to prepare water and food for the withdrawn company. As a result, many people even hugged each other and cried excitedly!

Then, under the cover of Giovanni, Gawain and Cabeamia's team also entered the fortress one after another half a day later.

In the monastery in the fortress, Anna ran down the steps and threw herself into Gawain's arms, like a bird in Gawain's arms, her skirt fluttering, and she spun twice rapidly, "How? If you can break through Ankara Fort, you will be able to follow the Cappadocia border, meet Baldwin, and get out of danger! ”

"Yes, Your Highness Princess, my strategy will soon begin to take effect, please rest assured that this strong fortress will rest in mind for a few days." Behind Gawain, Kabeamia, who was covered in a black robe and showed her golden hand, smiled and said to Anna.

Anna then stared at the Archon, a little afraid to face this woman who was obviously older than herself, and obviously more experienced than herself. Agnes beside her, Anna vaguely knew that the other party was not interested in men, so she had no worries. But now in this scene, herself, Kabeamia, and Gawain are at the center of all the crowd, and she really doesn't know how to respond.

But Gawain continued to hold Anna's shoulders very gently, "The consul is right, but although the Gangara Fort built on the mountain is extremely strong and has towers, it is absolutely unable to accommodate more than 10,000 troops, not to mention that there are still nearly 3,000 Paulinees living here, so we must now build a defensive line around the castle, and then thwart the enemy's pursuit, and after recuperating and recuperating, we will go out with all our strength and escort the main guarantor to the land of the Seven Ridges safely, okay?" ”

"Where is the Land of the Seven Ridges, Your Highness the Princess?" Kabeamiya also took the opportunity to ask.

Anna's eyes flickered, and she replied quickly, "I'm not sure yet." ”

After nightfall, in the dark convent room, Agnes stood in the corner of the window outside, and said to Anna, "That brown bear with a **** aura all over his body definitely has an affair with the beautiful female archon." Hearing this, Anna, who was sitting in front of the candlelight, lowered her head, bit the shaft of the reed pen, and was not in the mood to write for the time being, until at last she raised her face and said to Agnes with some reluctance, "My dear close friend, I now feel in my heart that whenever I see the female archon, I feel that my breathing is hard and my nose is a little sore. What the hell is going on? ”

"This shows that Gawain must have had a relationship with that heretical female leader, otherwise he would not have been able to convince the other party so smoothly, and Your Highness Anna, you will have such a reaction because you have poured your unsuitable attachment into this man, and thus have been hurt." Agnes took the opportunity to instigate.

Anna sighed and said I know what you said, and then she stood under the narrow window, silent for a while, and then turned back to Agnes and said, "But now that all the royal business is pinned on Gawain and his red-handed team, I don't want to fall out with him, and all counterattacks will be calculated after arriving at the land of the Seven Ridges." Then Anna stepped forward, took Agnes' hand, and said earnestly, "The only thing I can rely on now is your close friend." ”

"Yes, I will always stand by the side of Her Highness the Princess, and I will do my best." Agnes swears. (To be continued.) )
