At first, after Gawain left with the elite main force, Tetisius, who had seen all this on the walls of Prussa, had a rare smile of joy on his numb and calm face. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

As long as Gawain's morale suffered a setback and he left the siege of Prusa, he left behind a team to fear—behind him, the cloaked general with a baton in his hand, explained to his generals in the halls of the monastery in the city:

"Now His Majesty the Emperor has set aside a great deal of money and grain to support and reward us, and His Majesty the Holy Apostle has promised to set up a separate large warehouse in the Imperial Capital, which is full of cellars, with grain and meat, as well as wine and gold and silver, for the purpose of rewarding the new army fighting in Prussa. Ladies and gentlemen, what is the purpose of our efforts to increase and renovate the walls and protective systems here? There may still be many generals and soldiers who do not know enough about it. After speaking, Tyti Huston paused, he rarely said so long and so many words, so the excitement of his mood was obvious, his ugly face even flushed with a layer of ruddy, and then continued to the backbone generals of the former royal party, "Now the main force of the entire empire is all on me, but as long as I hold on to Prusa, I can provide the strongest barrier to the imperial capital where His Majesty is located and the Marimara Sea, and Gawain will not be able to overcome the past to threaten Your Majesty, In the course of time, the entire western part of the empire will also be able to provide it with troops, weapons, and provisions—it can be said that Gawain intends to use Prusa as a springboard to advance to the imperial capital, and we are to defend it as a barracks for the reconquest. So now that reliable intelligence shows that Gawain retreated, he was scared......"

After saying this, many of the young generals of the Prince's Party suddenly had a look of pride and pride on their faces, and this victory was indeed as the Grand Duke said, which made them rekindle their confidence in the face of Gawain, because "the other side is not invincible", and "we will also use new fortresses and firearms to defend against this initiator".

"But there's more to the defense of Prusa than just that!" Tetisius then announced his next step in a rare voice, "The significance of an effective fortress is not to increase the number of troops inside, but to be able to fight a large number of enemies with a small number of soldiers, so as to save the vast majority of the army for mobility." Therefore, I am going to spend half a year to build a series of small forts along the river that leads to the sea of Prussia, to protect our grain and troop routes, and then your Majesty will receive many reinforcements from the Hungarian princes, the chieftains of Wallachia, the chieftains of Komaloy, and Dalmatia, and I will leave a small number of garrisons for General Meriselos to stay in this city, and I will attack with the main army, and unite with the co-ruling emperor Theodoro and the king of Georgia, David, and launch a counterattack against Gawain on all fronts. ”

"Your Royal Highness, the enemy still has a besieging army here, let's choose a small group of elites to take the initiative to attack them, we can't let them easily and comfortably erect more fortresses to besiege us!" Meriseros excitedly pleaded, stirring up a chorus of echoes from everyone.

Tetisius nodded, and just as he was about to select on the sand table, the news came as if it were flying, "The enemy's pseudo-Caesar, with her honor guard and the banner of the Seven Ridges, suddenly appeared in the enemy camp in the east of the city, and it seems that she has come to supervise the battle. ”

"Hmm!" While the other generals laughed contemptuously at the female stream coming to oversee the battle, Tetisius, who was more cautious and sober-minded, was taken aback, and felt that it was not so simple.

Sure enough, after half an hour, a lookout from the tower saw that on the eastern slope of the hill, a large number of enemy troops were swept in a strict formation, just like the Missen in Belgrade, and the front row was all mirrored cuirasses, which looked like silver threads from a distance.

A crisp sound startled everyone, and everyone saw that Tetisius, who heard the second news, was in a hurry and unknowingly folded his baton!

"Gawain went and returned...... Go and come back......" Tetisius muttered, "and that's tricky down there!" ”

"What if the other party comes back? He has lost the protection of the Lord of Hosts for his fortune, and as long as we hold on to the earthen platforms and walls, Gawain will only fall into decline more quickly and pay more casualties. ”

"No, this man will only become stronger and more terrifying after his second return, for he must have shaken off his confusion and sharpened his terrifying sword again. What's more, Apat also came to his side. Tetisius's face sank again, and then he laughed bitterly and ugly, "Why is Jehovah, Lord of hosts, so unfair to me, that he is stingy with your servant even for a victory?" ”

Beyond the white walls of Prussa, the Tarsus Guards, impressed by Caesar's arrival and the return of the Patron, began to build new earthen ramparts and dig new blockade ditches in the southern direction of the city, braving enemy artillery. In the scarlet tent at the southeast corner, the dusty Gao Wen Hula hurriedly opened the curtain behind him.

"Ah......h

So the two sides met at the curtain.

After a while, Gawain said to his wife gently and firmly, "I have returned to attack Prusa with you." ”

Then the two couldn't help but hug each other.

After dark, the couple threw a small but lively dinner, and everyone, from female officials and eunuchs, to generals and forbidden soldiers, was happy to see the couple sitting side by side at the richly decorated square table, sharing fine food, and the relationship became harmonious again.

Of course, while eating, the new deployment of the siege of Prussia was also quietly unfolding, "Now we have two supply routes, one is to Lydia, which is under the responsibility of His Royal Highness Brenus, Grand Duke of Nanfi, mainly to provide food and timber for the army; The other was to be transported from Tarsus-Ikonium-Anglas, with Angras as the central point, along the Sakarya River by small boats, to transport stones, bricks, lime, cast bronze barrels, and other things here. But the second supply route was fraught with the danger of being attacked, so I was prepared to ask the wounded Diognes to take charge of Anglasburg, the recovered Earl Merlot to sit in Seleucia, and the governor of Iconium to supervise the delivery of supplies. All these battles were in charge of Diognis. ”

After arranging, Anna shook her husband's hand very knowingly and greeted him.

Gawain put down the silver spoon and said to everyone, "On the way back, I have been thinking about how to break the city, and I have finally made a profit, and I have laid down a detailed process—I believe that with the help of the great engineer Gedier, and with the efforts of you and the soldiers, we will overcome the difficulties, break the minions of the king-killers, and liberate the entire eastern part of the empire." ”
