Chapter 75: Killing the Prisoner
But even so, Tetisius quickly regrouped his team, and pressed over again with Matthew, with the momentum of holding on and not relaxing, ready to outflank at any moment. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
In the queue, General Matthew found him, "General Fangcai, when you were charging with the right flank, you were fired by Tarsus anti-party firearms on the right side before you broke up, right?" ”
In the wind, Tetisius frowned his forehead, and then replied faintly, "Yes, the enemy's firearms are too dense to withstand the blows of such smoke and arrows. ”
Matthew said regretfully, "I see, but soon His Majesty's army will arrive, and in terms of fire, the Immortal Army will never be inferior to the enemy!" ”
"Yes, we'll wait for Your Majesty to arrive, and we'll have to bite Gawain's team before that - oh, it definitely doesn't look that easy, he's too good at choosing terrain." Tetisius sighed as he carried the reins, and in front of them, the open ground between the valleys was full of traces of battle, and in the distance was a narrower and narrower passage, and on both sides of the passage the Red Hand Brigade had set up a column of caravans, forming a mobile position around the hill to deal with them, and in the middle of the outside were buried stakes and antlers to guard against the surprise attack of the cavalry.
"Has Your Majesty ever encountered such an enemy before?" Matthew looked at the red-handed soldiers on the opposite side who were lined up along the mountain and asked.
"Encountered, Robert. Guiscutt now still has the sentence 'He was never defeated by the Emperor, but died of disease' on his epitaph. However, Gawain smashed the tombstone in Avelsa, Italy, a few years ago, and then Gawain replaced Guiscart as the emperor's most dangerous enemy. ”
After nightfall, the battle broke out again - the Red Hand Brigade hastened along the pass with the convoy and the camel caravan towards the Firomeron area, leaving a detachment armed with firethrowers to hold the rear of the palace at the pass.
This time, the Emperor's army was no longer hesitant and weak, and Tetisius and Matthew, who had a keen sense of smell, pounced like fierce hounds, and engaged in a fierce battle with the rearly of the Red Hand Brigade inside and outside the caravan position. Until dawn the next day, amid the sound of trumpets and conch chims, Emperor Alexios' entire imperial camp and janissatives, with thousands of native troops and mercenaries, appeared all over the mountains on the slopes of the hill where Tetisius had previously been.
The Emperor stared at the battle in the distance, and immediately decided that Gawain would continue to flee to the southwest and join forces with his other brigade, so he pointed to the terrain opposite to another guard officer beside him, Celilarus, and said, "There is a high hill over there, which is enough to descend and suppress the enemy's position at the mountain pass - I command the infantry to charge head-on, you take the immortal army to occupy there in a roundabout way, condescendingly annihilate the enemy, and crush the enemy's rear ranks, and you can capture and defeat Gawain." ”
Half an hour later, Celilarus followed the secret mountain path, climbed the high hill with hundreds of immortal soldiers, came to the front hillside and lined up, and thundered at the small caravan town below him with fierce arrows and stone pellets, and soon Celilarus saw the soldiers behind the Red Hand Brigade dragging the corpses of their companions, driving the caravans and pack beasts behind, throwing down spears and iron guns, carrying small shields and swords, running out of the smoke and flames, and running towards the pass. "The enemy has been routed, the signal flag is erected against His Majesty, and our army is in full pursuit!" Selilaruius shouted excitedly.
Seeing the banner raised on the high hill, the emperor bowed his head in satisfaction, and immediately gave the order for an all-out pursuit, and then walked down the hillside.
Crawling up the valley like ants, the emperor's soldiers who rushed into the camp of the caravan shouted and shouted. But soon, suddenly a huge flame rushed up from the flat ground, shaking the surrounding hills with a roar and shaking up and down, and even Alexios and the guards under the imperial flag were startled by the oncoming wave of qi.
Then behind the spears and battle flags, the Emperor's soldiers watched in horror as the flames burst out, and two pillars of smoke as high as the walls of Constantinople rose, "What the hell is going on?" The emperor hurriedly asked.
It turned out that after the soldiers behind the Red Hand Hall were defeated, there were more than a dozen seriously wounded people who stayed in the camp tent of the flag car, surrounded by piles of Khitan snow barrels, and inserted a wooden bark fire rope with a calculated burning speed, and after many of the emperor's soldiers opened their antlers and rushed in, the fire rope just ignited all the Khitan snow, and along the camp tent all the things within dozens of feet around it were blown into pieces, and the chaotic air waves killed the war horses a hundred feet away, and the gravel at the pass was shaken and rolled down.
More than 30 brave soldiers of the emperor and more than 10 wounded red-handed soldiers were all killed, and nearly 100 were wounded.
Looking at the huge blood puddle and pungent smell of the Khitan snow from afar, Alexios was half hatred and half fear - it took a while for the rest of the soldiers to clean up the ruins and rubble in the pass.
"Tetisius, Matthew, don't be affected in any way, this is a sign of the enemy's exhaustive madness, give me a desperate pursuit." The Emperor's voice trembled slightly.
Two hours later, on the other side of the hill, the second detachment of the red-handed soldiers behind the palace actually turned seven companies back, lined up at the bottom of the hill with spears and swords, lined up with light horses at the front of their feet, and fought fiercely with the emperor's cavalry that had been driven down from the hillside in a hurry--then, the three companies and the attached pyrinaders who had been lying in ambush in the dense forest on the side suddenly shot and killed, crushing the emperor's front cavalry, killing dozens of people.
However, Tetisius commanded the following cavalry and cavalry to rush, and the detachment of the palace was defeated and continued to be defeated, and the team in the dense forest was also set on fire by Tetisius, and more than thirty red-handed soldiers were captured.
In the twilight and confusion, the emperor rode to the pass, and as far as the eye could see, the entire open field was full of ruts and footprints, "Tetisius, why don't you continue the pursuit?" ”
"Gawain's army has just come out of here, and I'm afraid he'll be ambushed."
When the captured red-handed soldiers were sent to the Emperor's horse, Alexios said kindly, "Even if your rebel leader Gawain can flee to Philomeron and join up with the other rebels, it is equivalent to the hedgehog gathering together, and there is no way back, I will annihilate and kill you all there, and build your corpses and heads into a Jingguan, where you will be displayed forever until you are reduced to a piece of white bones." ”
"The loser is always a deputy big breath, and those who don't know think we're defeated by you." A red-handed sergeant who was tied up behind his back said to the emperor with a sneer.
"Isn't that the situation now?" The Emperor became angry.
"Komnenos's victory exists only in a paper roll." At this moment, all the captured red-handed soldiers burst into laughter.
The emperor then ordered that all the captured soldiers be beheaded, "This group of people with red flags are all die-hard traitors, and they will all be killed on the spot if they encounter them in the future without interrogation or probation."
