Brenus was indeed caught between Gawain's cavalry and infantry on the battlefield before, and Brenus himself was besieged by a dozen spears at the same time, and almost all of his guards were killed, but fortunately, he was dressed plainly, and after discarding the flag, he escaped and did not die on the spot. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Then Brenus did get lost as the emperor expected, but he did not insist on forcibly finding the emperor's camp to return, because then he would have to travel through the entire daytime battlefield, and it was very likely that he would be captured and killed by Gawain's night patrol, because Gawain won the daytime battle and took control of the battlefield.

In the end, Brenus could not run around, and there was a high possibility that he would be killed and robbed by the rout deserters everywhere, which was a common occurrence in the wild plateau.

As the night fell, Brenus did not run wildly, he clutched his arm, which had been slightly stabbed by the blade of the spear, and lay in the grass, surrounded by the terrible smell of dead bodies and blood, and before Gawain could rein in these, there were still dark shadows moving around, probably a rout or a local shepherd, who had come to make a fortune from the dead--Brenus sensibly grabbed the shield of the fallen guard, covering his body, and then drew his sword, the blade facing outward, not daring to relax, and always maintaining a vigilant posture.

His mind was now beginning to struggle with the honor of the soldier and the warmth of his family, and the air of the plateau after the fog began to cold, and the stars obscured the entire sky, spreading out a beautiful place just a stone's throw overhead. Brenus secretly sighed, he looked at the bright stars, and remembered the eyes and gentleness of his wife Dedo, but he was afraid that his behavior would involve the empire and make his wife sad and disappointed.

"But if I die, wouldn't I be even more irresponsible to Daido? No, there are always moments of disappointment and bad luck, and it takes more courage to face it than to run away. Brenus comforted himself with a maxim of his own making, and soon his gaze through the grass he saw Gawain's Night Watch.

Gawain stipulated that 30 men from each infantry banda and 6 men from each cavalry squadron should be grouped into dozens of night patrol teams every night to patrol more than a dozen guli around the camp in turns. The two cavalrymen who led the night patrol were equipped with fires and lanterns, and then they were armed with sabers and quivers, and behind them were nine light infantrymen with iron rods and hounds, one with an iron fork, two with hooks and flails, two with bows and arrows, and the other three with swords and sabers, and each with a fire pipe or pyrotechnic gun. Among them, the equipment of the latter, which was newly put in place, arrived with the baggage truck.

When he saw the lights, Brennus knew that he had encountered the Night Watch, "This is the only chance to live, and that is to take the initiative to give them prisoners, and then report their identities, Gawain is related to him after all, it shouldn't be too difficult." As a result, just as he was about to get up and shout, he heard the cavalry of the night patrol carrying lanterns and shouting, "Kill this group of rout!" ”

The sound of the fight sounded, and in the grass thirty feet away in front of Brenus, several black figures sprang out like weasels, shouting the words of the steppe peoples, it seemed that they were hired by the emperor, but now they have become a rout, neither want to surrender the victors, nor do they want to return to the emperor's command, the end is likely to be to hide and hide, and after the army has left, and then turn into mountain bandits "strippers" in groups, poisoning and killing the surrounding caravans or villages.

And the enemy that the night patrol dealt with also had this kind of character in it - caught the defeated army and executed it on the spot, without reporting and discussing.

There was a loud "bang", Brenus hurriedly covered his eyes with his hands, and sat down on the ground in horror: the fire manager of the Night Patrol, from the pipe wedged by the fire cone, spewed out a white scorching firework, the grass in front of the fire manager was burned, and the tumbling fire light everywhere illuminated dozens of feet away, and the other two hidden routs wailed, jumping out with their heads and bodies full of fire, and then fell down after being shot by the archers with their bows.

The rest of the rout soldiers who had run earlier had nothing to hide, some were shot down in the back, and some were born from the side of despair, holding their weapons and howling and stepping on the flames, and fighting back.

As a result, two cavalrymen carried lanterns and shields to form the core of the defense, and the fire controllers retreated to the cavalry to cover and reloaded the most Khitan fire paper tubes, and the two archers also retreated to re-string: then one of the night patrol team held an iron fork in the center of the front of the cavalry, and the other two held long-handled hooks in the oblique thorns, flipping to block the attacks of the routs one by one, and several routs were forked and unable to move forward, helpless.

Then the two pyrotechnic gunners came from the side, the blades of the guns were flying sparks, the rout soldiers were just about to fight them, the paper tubes tied under the pyrotechnic guns "bang bang" shot out two balls of fireworks, several rout soldiers had to burn out, their skin festered, fell to the ground and screamed to death, and those who did not fall covered their faces and had no ability to resist, and were assassinated and stabbed to death by the ensuing blades of guns.

One of the remaining routs crawled and crawled, but before they could escape ten feet away, they were chased and pounced by the Night Patrol hounds, who whined and screamed, grabbed his shoulders, tore at the rout's neck, and shook him violently, and the rout kicked his legs a few times before he died.

The brutal fight to the death ended in a matter of minutes, and Brenus was sweating in the shadows beside him, horrified by the methods and weapons of the Night Watch.

"I am the third glory of the empire, I am the third glory of the empire, don't kill me, take me to the barracks to meet your commander!" Brenus threw up his hands and shouted, for he could not hesitate any longer as he saw the Night Watch slash off the heads of the dead soldiers with axes, tie them to the saddle, and then raise the lanterns towards the place where he was hiding.

This shout caused the fire-piper to leap to the front of the queue, and the mouth of the black hole was facing Brenus, and as long as his brass pipe was ignited, Brenus would be engulfed in flames at once. But the general composures himself and repeats what he had just said.

In the end, the Night Watch did not kill him, but took him back to the camp of the Great Patron.

Gao Wen had just returned from visiting the wounded, and he was also very surprised when he got the news, "I didn't expect that the imperial brother of the empire was captured by me, and now I have captured the son-in-law of the empire...... No, it seems that during the previous Battle of the Gates of Constantinople, Brenus had already been captured by my army once. But Gawain quickly calmed down, and after pondering the scroll on his desk for a while, he asked the knight to bring Brenus in quietly.

"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law!" When Brenus walked in with some shame, Gawain strode forward enthusiastically in civilian clothes and shook Brenus's hands, his eyes glistening with tears. (To be continued.) )
