However, although Gao Wen's words were beautiful, he was indeed "unexpected".

Just after he walked out of Seleucia, Anna, accompanied by several high-ranking generals, began to carry out intensive mobilization of the entire Seleucia and Western Cilicia region, including the last batch of Jinat soldiers who had completed the "rotation", as well as the "Gimagis Brigade" that had just arrived at Zephilim's garrison, and soon organized an army of 4,500 men under the mobilization of General Monomachus and General Gregor. The long column of the rapid march, and the obscuration of the eyes and ears of the people—Gawain ordered, "There is no need to march covertly at the moment, and rushing at full speed under the Alalmanburg is victory"—taking the Lamas promenade, strictly speaking, arriving at the barracks under the Seleucian city in only six hours, resting and recuperating for a while, and then Anna issued a decree in the palace: Billel was authorized to organize two thousand "garrisons" to fight with the two generals, and to march first towards Alalmanburg.

The garrison, most of them wearing linen armor made by the Ordnance Division, marked by a belt crossed on each shoulder, with swords and arrows hanging on one side, and a small number of men wielding two-handed halberds and axes, or carrying shields, arrived at the hill that connected to the valley of the Mut River somewhere four in front of Alarmanburg, and then set fire to the villages and fields of the Callegos side.

The flames rose in the sky, and in front of the iron gate of the great city of Alalmanburg, the three Callegos brothers shouted, clad in armor, carrying quivers, riding horses with howling hounds, and a group of private soldiers rushed into the courtyard of the fort, and then pushed open the wooden door of the tower above it with a pedal road, and looked at their blind father sitting in a dark corner, and became angry, "Gawain's army is coming towards our fortress, and there is no hope of peace now, according to us, The one who killed that Île-de-France royal brother was Gawain! ”

In the dark, Nika. Callegos let out a hoarse voice, "This time, you guessed that there was nothing wrong, Gawain was planning all the time to seize our family's fortress. It is a pity that His Majesty in the Imperial Capital, as well as His Royal Highness the Prince of the City of Philadofiam, have all fallen for Gawain's scheme, and they all think that all this was instructed by the Normans who occupied the city of Antioch. Haha, it's probably that Alarman is really inconspicuous compared to the huge city of Antioch, I warned you at the beginning, don't rashly stand on either the side of the emperor or Gawain, but you just didn't listen, and buried the whole family in order to write about petty profits. ”

"Father, don't talk about the past. Now Gawain came just in time, this time with his father's wisdom and skill, and our brother's hard work, we will beat Gawain back again. Then His Majesty the Emperor and the army of the Emperor took advantage of the situation to capture the city of Seleucia, his old nest, and the Varyag barbarian was completely finished. "Ace. Callegos and the other two brothers surrounded his father's mount and touched his father's knee, but they were not afraid of Gawain's attack.

"What about the fourth and fifth? Went to the city of Fiam in Philadophiam to ask for reinforcements? Nika raised her eyes and asked in a low voice.

After receiving an affirmative answer, Nika let out a long sigh, "The last time Gawain came, he was indeed prepared in a hurry, and he was too confident. But he is a particularly good character at resurrection, and this attack may not be as numerous and powerful as the last time, but it is definitely more ferocious and bloody than the last time. The three of you should gather under my banner and fight to the end, the fourth and fifth can invite reinforcements in time, it is better if they don't come, let them leave, and it is also for the last two of our family to have been given the surname Ducasse. From their father's tone, the three brothers actually heard the thick desolation of the dead fish and the broken net, so they hurriedly comforted Alalmanburg with a small city on one side and a large city by the sea on the other, and a huge swamp to the west, so Gawain could only attack us from the east side of the land, and last time we repelled him by leaning on the walls and towers between the small city and the big city, and this time we built a wall again, and Gawain could not do anything.

"It is precisely because of this situation in Alalmanburg that Gawain is like a fish in his throat, as long as he captures this place, then facing Panfelia and even the entire vast and rich Lydia, it can be attacked, retreated, and defended. And that prince is still too young, and he is busy negotiating all day long, don't you know that Gawain's fast horse can gallop between Milio Sephalong and Seleucia at will, don't you know that Gawain's six official offices are running with amazing efficiency, don't you know that Gawain is not a figure who plots fame and profit at all? Alas. Finally the veteran Nika put an end to his assertion with a long sigh, and then leaned his gray-haired head back on the back of his chair, the only place he could discern in the darkness, "Immediately Gawain's army attacked, and concentrated most of the soldiers in the walls between the large and small cities, and the stairways that went up and down the equipment, and when the enemy's equipment arrived, they set fire and burned it. Also, each of you is in charge of a section of the wall, because between siege and defense battles, no matter how good your command skills are, you can only rely on the soldiers to fight for a short distance, so you must show your faces to everyone, which is more effective than anything else. ”

"Yes, father." The three brothers' faces were solemn, and they instinctively felt the tragic scene after the battle, so they stood up, took off their respective helmets and held them in their hands, and looked at their father motionlessly.

"Go, if the condition of the city walls is critical, I will personally go there on a light shoulder to boost morale, and remember the most important thing, that is, in front of all the soldiers, you must not give up the position you stand at your feet until reinforcements arrive."

"Victory will be with us in the Callegos family!" Old Contest Text. Suddenly agitated, Callegos drew his sword and slammed it into the floor beneath his feet

"Don't let the enemy's atrocities get their way!" In the wilderness on the east side of the city, Severn. Callegos took a hundred cavalry from the city, roaring towards a burning farmland, where a group of Seleucian garrisons was wielding their scythes and grabbing the wheat that belonged to them, and when they saw Callegos' cavalry rushing towards them, the soldiers shouted to each other, threw down their torches, and began to divide into several groups, and ran towards the wooden fences and wooden poles erected by themselves on the road on that side, and then the Seleucian soldiers after there began to stand up one after another, and fired arrows at Severn's cavalry, And the war drum sounded and blew a continuous piercing trumpet: in the shouting, there were constantly militia troops with long-handled weapons rushing out from the mountains and surrounding villages, forming several teams, staggering towards the congestion of Severn.
