Chapter 35: The Assassin's End (Part II)
Assasin has always been able to intimidate the surrounding people by means of fear created by assassinations, and by the closure and steepness of the Alamut peak. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
When neither of these can pose a threat to a figure like Gawain, the old man in the mountain finally finds himself untrolled.
So he rebelled and sent an envoy down the mountain to Gawain, "I want to tear down all five castles of Mamondis, but I want to keep the Vulture Castle." ”
As a result, Gawain beat Nami with a stick and told him to come back and report the news, "My purpose was to hope that you would come out of the lair on your own initiative, but now I just want to get you out." ”
Hassan also delayed the army, so he sent a second secret envoy to see Gawain the next day, "It's okay to destroy the Eagle Castle, but please give me half a year." ”
"In half a year, your tombstone should have weathered to the point of illegible handwriting." Gawain cut off the secret envoy's nose and left ear and sent it back.
On the third occasion, Hassan instructed a young boy, falsely claiming to be his youngest son, to go to Gawain and plead bitterly, "Send him to Tarsus as a hostage as a sign of peace and that he will destroy all castles, including the Vulture Castle, as soon as possible, but ask for mercy for the lives of all the faithful." ”
Gawain simply said to the young boy this time, "I pity and pity you, if you are allowed to return, you will be burned with all the jade in the castle immediately; But if you are left behind, you will be able to speak and write and understand affairs, and you will be fooled and poisoned by Hassan, and you may take revenge on me with a sword in the future. With that, Gawain ordered the boy to be sent to Baghdad as a gift to the caliph.
Hassan finally despaired, and at this time, the onslaught of the combined forces of Gawain, Seljuk, and Sylvan on Mamondisburg began!
The Great Prani Cannon and the Ballista Cannon flew and shot rows of stone balls, like the devil's hideous head and sharp teeth, falling from the sky and gnawing at the stone wall guarded by the mountain cultists; Flying copper clams and fire bucket carts shot out raindrops of gunfire, and gathered and nailed square arrows to the city gate, so that they burned without interruption; The marksmen of the Oghus, Cumans, Alans, Turkmen, and Kurds, bent their bows like the full moon, and then shot arrows as thick as women's hairs, piercing the cumulus clouds of the mountains like hailstones in winter and November, and roaring towards the enemies at the head of the city.
When Gawain immediately drew his sword in front of Dar Ushan's tent and drew his sword of phosphorus and fire, all the soldiers shouted and trembled the entire universe, and when they pulled out the sword in their sheath and raised it high, the reflected light illuminated all the surrounding peaks, making the day of Zhongtian also gloomy.
Soon the fire cannons and siege artillery began to roar, and the stones of the walls of Fort Mamondiss fell like dead leaves from the cold, and fell apart; In the smoke, the Assasin devotees scurried and fled like frightened lizards and bugs—the city's warehouses and houses burned with fire and wails.
In order to save the situation, Hassan came out of the closed room of the retreat for the second time in his life, like a rat in a cave, and stood on the shaking and trembling Kapala rock, and puffed out in a dumb voice at the wounded believers lying there densely lying there, but his original eloquence was no longer exerted—his courage and skills had deteriorated from his long life of pretending to be mysterious, and he was carried away by his retinue and re-entered without saying a word.
"The eyes of heaven are opened, and the great Imam will reappear in the world to preach his word, and those who believe will be victorious and victorious." This is probably the core of Hassan's speech, and there is no energy.
On the third day of the siege, the besieging army, including the Seljuk soldiers, who had been worried, were full of courage and wisdom, and one after another commandos charged along the rugged mountain roads in all directions, digging and scratching at the weak links in all parts of the Mamondisburg. At this time, the weakness of the mountain cultists was exposed, they could no longer hold the walls and towers, and everywhere they fell, and after nightfall the besieging army broke into the Mamondisburg from all directions and succeeded in destroying the gates.
The believers who were stationed inside sent their children and women into the inner walls of the Vulture Castle, and then all of them were instigated and bewitched, drank the resin of Hashish, and fought back desperately with the stimulation and numbness of hallucination. The besieging soldiers sealed off the road with their light horses, and then drew their bows and fired at the pouring of believers, and at night the guns were constantly burning and occasionally sweeping out a field of shotguns, and the corpses of the Assasins who had been slain under the Memondisburg corridor were piled up, and the mourning of the pre-destruction was everywhere.
Hiding in the room and listening to the shouts of murder outside, Hassan cried bitterly over the bookshelves, grabbed the ground with his head, and summoned up the courage to raise the poison and prepare to commit suicide - but after a while, he felt afraid and lucky, so he repeated the previous process.
He longed for time to stand still, but how could that be as it would be? Hassan finally understood at this time, what is the use of more forts and stronger ones? When fate crumbles you, your billions of tricks are just a drop in the pan.
I thought that I was actually an enthusiastic but a little fanatical little intellectual, relying on luck and recklessness to finally entrench in this group of peaks for so many years, but I didn't expect that today it finally came to an end.
The sun was still rising, and Gawain rode Quicksilver and trekked through a thick stream of blood into Fort McMondis, under the stone walls and in the streets were full of mutilated corpses, most of them of Assasin's, Quicksilver's beautiful white hair was stained with spots, and in front of a temple on the road leading to Vulture Castle, Gawain looked up and saw several soldiers of the Gimagys Brigade carrying ladders to the roof, slashing and slashing the group of believers who were still resisting on it one by one, and threw the corpses down, smashing blood on the ground everywhere.
"That domed palace is Hassan's hiding place." Muzafiadin said, carrying a bow and arrows on his back, pointing there and saying to his master.
"I hope he dies a more tragic death." Gawain sneered.
In reality, Assasin is actually so vulnerable.
At noon, the besieging army broke open the gate of the eagle fort, rushed in and continued to kill, even sparing the baby in the swaddling clothes, in order to eradicate the trouble.
"This is the will of the Lord (or Allah) to be carried out by His Apostles." At that time, the soldiers did not have much psychological burden to do such a thing.
Eventually, Gawain saw an old man standing on the high roof of the Dome of the Dome in his costume, walking up the Kapala Rock, and then drinking some medicine, screaming and falling seventy or eighty feet, like a moth spreading its wings to the flames, and falling to the square in front of the Great Temple.
He was told that it might be Hassan.
This appearance reminded Gawain of the financial brokers who jumped off the building in his own time, most of them had died of fear of heart cracking the moment they fell from the tall building, so the pain of falling to death was really non-existent. But poor Hassan, who actually remembered the drug, which would stimulate his nerve center, would instead enjoy the pain of smashing his body on the stone slab......
