Chapter 3

Just as Yagfei was about to give the order to attack, he heard the earth-shattering shouts behind him, and turned his head to look, and the scene in front of him made him unforgettable. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

For in the rear of the siege of Yagfi, that is, at the pass from the valley of the Mut to the Abbey Hill of Alahhan, Gawain commanded two brigades (two banda of the Gimagith brigade), a total of more than 8,000 infantrymen in fifteen infantry detachments; and 2,000 Red Hand cavalry and Jinat cavalry, as well as more than 1,500 Armenian logisticians, almost all of Seleucia's elite, appeared in the fields and streets there.

Gawain had just come from the battlefield of Alasalman, and after a short rest, he marched quickly, giving full play to his wrist strengths, like thunder and lightning galloping on the Hardy Mountains. On the way, Gawain rode a horse and saw the people and defeated soldiers who broke out of the camp all over the mountains, and at first he was half frightened to death, "It seems that Birel has courage and no strategy, and the holy sister is resourceful, could it be that their camp has been lost and fallen?" What about my holy sister's safety? If the Emperor captures Mirio Sepharon, I will lose not only the civilian army and the servants, but also the guards of northern Seleucia...... so Gawain, who was in a hurry, ordered the infantry of the Red Hand Brigade to step forward and form a defensive formation, and then he and his cavalry blocked the people and men who were shouting and screaming and slipped out of the direction of the camp.

"The camping position is lost!" Several militiamen from Deutschland and Flanders, kneeling in front of Gawain's horse, stated in panic.

Gawain looked at the pillar of smoke rising in the distance, and did not know whether it was true or not, so he sternly asked the soldiers a few questions, "Are your commanders and Paulic consuls killed in battle?" You saw with your own eyes that the Emperor's army captured the camp? Do you have pursuers behind you? As a result, none of the defeated soldiers could answer, and then Gawain asked the cavalry around him to catch a few fleeing minmen and ask the same question, but the minfu couldn't answer clearly, just said that there were soldiers stationed in the camping sub-city, but the periphery were running, and they were also running together in the crowd.

After listening, those civilian soldiers thought about the past of the battlefield, what is the difference between themselves and these people? couldn't help but be frightened, his body trembled violently, and Gawain was furious: "Even the Seleucian people's army is supported by the people's shield tax money, and now they are fleeing from the battle, which is tantamount to dishonoring their duties and responsibilities by the enemy entering our Seleucia, and executing this group of salary thieves and scoundrels!" ”

Soon, on the flagpole of Gao Wen's flag car, several heads of executed deserters were hung, "Put the flag car here, and if any soldier dares to cross this line, he can be executed." Then, in the middle of the valley, the frightened people gathered their weapons and drove back, and the hired men did not dare to run around, but gathered on both sides of the road to help the army drive cattle and push the carts.

So an hour later, on the mountain behind Yagfei, the big hospital flag with a white cross on a black background was raised, and Gao Wen, wearing a cloak of the same color, immediately stood beside him, and behind him were majestic thousands of troops and horses, "Long live, it is the army of the great lord and the guarantor!" The Praetorian detachment stationed south of the sub-city cheered, and then Dim swarmed at Yagfei's team with the long-handled hexagonal hammer in his hand like a windmill, and led all the soldiers of the Praetorian Guard detachment to rush towards Yagfei's ranks.

Yagfei, who was attacked from the front and back, did not dare to fight, and hurriedly pulled his team into a column, abandoned the small village, and fled towards the mountain where the original camp was located.

On the walls of the sub-city, Kabeamiya held her hands high, and when she saw Gawain's banner, tears could not help but welled up, and the believers around her knelt down and prayed and cheered to the Almighty Lord. Her mood at the moment was extremely complicated, she really wanted to pull out the dagger and pierce Gawain, a ruthless thief, into ten or eight holes, but she was crazy to have sex with him in the unoccupied tent - even Kabeamia was surprised by the complexity and bizarre nature of her feelings.

However, even more bizarre was to come: Gawain's main army had set up camp in the wilderness due east, a mile away from Zicheng.

"Your Excellency, the Great Lord Guarantor asks you to continue to hold on to the sub-city, and he refuses to take up the post there, and all camps and teams continue to be divided into districts to defend the city, and you are not allowed to move around without permission." Muzafiadin, who was holding Gawain's instructions, galloped into the city and said this to Kabeamia.

"Ruthless thief! The ......female consul could only cover her grief with her golden hand, but fortunately, the morale and morale of the army were stabilized, and in front of her, many people were building the real city gate along the wooden fence, and repairing the right high platform that had been blown up, and the fire and Khitan snow scattered on the body and danger inside and outside the city were also cleaned up......

"What, Gawain's brigade has come to ......" In the imperial camp, the emperor put his hands behind his back and his mind stirred.

Then he walked to the sand table, "Yagfi lacked the fighting spirit to fight to the death, and failed to cut off the connection between Milio Sefalon and the Mut River Valley, so that Gawain calmly reinforced the camping fortifications. As he spoke, the emperor's tone was clearly filled with resentment and hatred.

Then Alexios stood in front of the sand table in a daze, calculating the military strength of both sides: now in the various places of the camp of Milio Sephalon, the two sides have gathered a huge army of about 25,000 men, but Gawain obviously relies on the camp and the sub-city to form a hard walnut-style local military superiority, and in order to besiege the camp, he has divided more than 10,000 troops into three sides, and the military strength of either side is in danger of being weak - Gawain can concentrate the main force at any time and attack the northern camp where he is located, or the camp of Yagfi (the camp of Myles in the west, Because of the same cliffs and narrow roads, Gawain is also unable to attack head-on).

"Shrink back, return to Camp Myles, and confront Gawain at your risk?" The Emperor's eyes were fixed on the sand table, and in that case would not be the same as traveling through the entire mountain road of southern Isuria and reaching Milio Sepharon to complete the loss of his efforts? No, I am not reconciled, I have gathered 40,000 or 50,000 troops this time, although I am divided into three ways to march, but there is no reason why I can't form an advantage over Gawain's more than 10,000 people here.

"Did Harold's 4,000 men come here?" The emperor began to ask.

The reply was that it would arrive about noon tomorrow - and at this time the emperor had to increase his stakes, "Four thousand men are not enough, not enough." How many centaurs are there in the siege of Konya in Brenus now? ”

"Twenty thousand, my majesty, but half of them are newly recruited."

"Although the city of Konya is large, but that gillici is enough to hold no more than eight hundred Danishmond mercenaries, tell Brenus not to be in a hurry to attack the city, and then send six thousand fighting troops to gather here with me - no, it is real, let Brenus personally lead the army, and take this army to capture Little Antioch, thirty guerrilla miles to the east, which is almost unguarded, as long as he takes it, Gawain will not be able to sit still. Either he will attack me, or he will be besieged again. (To be continued.) )
