"Who is the commander of the enemy?" Anna hurriedly asked to stop her shoulder, and opened the curtain and asked. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Flying the battle flag of Brenus, the third glory of the empire and the general of Panphilia Temachi."

"The enemy may arrive in the Miliosephalon area within three or five days, please ask Her Royal Highness the princess to fly to the chief guarantor of the great hospital in Tarsus, and let him bring the main brigade to help as soon as possible." The consuless, who was also a little nervous, rode on her horse and suggested to the princess, who was sitting on her shoulder, "It is no wonder that the area around Fort Mut has recently housed many Isurian mountain people, who have been crying out for revenge for Ferna and the chief Nikitas, and are willing to join our army." ”

Anna touched her little chin with her hand, and kept looking at the tired group of civilian army riders with her eyes, and they were also very anxious, because without the princess's reassuring instructions, they could not dismount and drink, eat and rest, but what was the princess thinking?

All around, there were people pushing wheelbarrows and pulling pry carts, and the Pauline believers escorting the Khitan fire carts were constantly shouting, strictly forbidding the people to approach their convoys, and the sounds of people and animals were everywhere, but it seemed that Anna's surroundings were silent.

Eventually, Anna's eyes were fixed on a dark, brown-skinned merchant covered in blood and panic behind the rider, who Anna recognized as a Courlamite from the Akum Bazaar Chamber of Commerce, and asked why he was like this.

"I had set out from the monastery of Arahan with five of my fellows, led camels and mules, to Milio Sepharon to buy iron sand and sheep, and by the way to sell Seleucian lacquer and ash, but we met a troop of imperial cavalry with the banner of the fish and dragon, and they killed everyone but me, and plundered all the goods—I fled all the way and survived when I met the patrolmen, and now I have to report to the old and small of these partners!" As he spoke, the Kurlamit man wept silently.

"Hetomia, give him a mercy of thirty gold coins at once." Anna instructed, and then, when the merchants and the militia had departed, Anna eagerly said to the two female imperial officers beside her, "It is not Brenus who is coming for Mirio Sepharon, it may be my father......"

Both of them were stunned, but the princess stretched out her cane and galloped towards Seleucia, and called out to the female archon, "Kabeamia, don't hesitate any longer, and immediately rush to the camp with all the faithful who can fight, and the guard there will be entrusted to you for the time being." Don't be foolish, you must know that the enemy you are facing is my father, and his vanguard cavalry advances very quickly, and will not wait until three or five days later. ”

Kabeamiya on horseback was anxious and shy, waving her golden hand, "Then tell me how I can not be stupid!" ”

"Cooperate with the people's army, stubbornly defend the key passes and water sources of Milio Sepharon, guard against the interception of the imperial cavalry, and then boldly defend it with Khitan fire, waiting for me and Gao Wen's response." Anna said, sitting on the shoulders of the hurried forward, and said to the two accompanying imperial ink officers, "Brenus, I know his character to some extent, I would not be so iron-fisted and ruthless, and order the soldiers of the army to kill the merchants at will, such a thunderbolt can only be my father, who wants to sweep away all the obstacles in front of him--in terms of strategy, he deliberately let out the wind and handed over the southern army to Brenus, but in fact he personally supervised it, because the current situation is that the important place of Milio Sephalon is worth more than Konya, Father will not hand over the command to outsiders - by taking this place, Father will be able to successfully divide Seleucia and Konya, and then calmly destroy Gilligi and then us. ”

"Alas!" Agnes, who was riding on the mule, was shocked, and she looked back at the winding valley of the Mut River, where the rain had just passed, and the clouds were spreading softly, but the gusty wind was still blowing towards the north, making people feel a little cold, "Is it really the time for Seleucia to live and die?" ”

The rugged mountains of Isuria were full of unwalkable mountain roads, fragmented by countless sun-blocking boulders and shrubs, and in a narrow section between two plateau lakes, the Byzantine army was trudging forward, but they were no more numerous than they were claimed: the southern army of Brenus was 5,000 men. Rather, there were 12,000 elite soldiers, and the formation could stretch for nearly ten gua, but between such roads was bent like a large centipede, and the most avant-garde soldiers could be seen across the hill, and the sharp soldiers were carrying spears with small flags, and they were scattered on the craggy rocks and constantly directing the direction of their teams.

In the center of this large army were all Varangian guards clad in purple and blue cloaks, and the battle axes in their hands were densely packed, and this could not be Brenus's team at all—it could only be Alexios. Komunen's, so now the emperor is riding among the Varyag, Saxon, and Danish mercenaries, holding his waist with one hand, although sometimes suffering from hemorrhoids, the emperor still sticks to the saddle, like a Pecheneg shepherd, "On the meadow in front of the lake, our vanguard cavalry has swept away several Isurian villages, and killed many Seleucian merchants, is your Majesty a little alarmed?" "The Imperial Ink Officer who followed the Emperor was cautious.

"According to my information, Gawain's main force should have gone to the area of Samosata and entangled with Chief Danishmund. It doesn't matter if it's true or not, it's real or false, I just need to march this army for two days and two nights, and wait until Milio Sephalon. Even if Gawain and Gilligi were prepared, how could those poor forces be my opponents? "The Emperor bowed his body a little painfully in the saddle, and changed his seat, but his fighting spirit and confidence were high," the herald ordered the light cavalry and infantry in front to speed up, and in a day to seize the land and water around the destination! ”

"Your Majesty!" A young palace guard with a horn and a horn on his back put on his helmet tied to the back of his neck, and then held the fish and dragon flag, and ran towards the mountain road ahead.

At this moment, in front of Mirio Sepharon, on a hillside in front of an almost vertical curve, Gedier, the chief engineer of the camp, was standing on a natural boulder with furious and curly hair, pointing to the surrounding terrain with a drawing, and speaking quickly to the officers and elders of the Nationalist Army, "There is a natural defense against the enemy climbing on the rocks ahead, and you can control the path from a bird's eye view. There is a large forest in the rear, and the forest and the back of the mountain are full of soil for camping, and immediately build a rammed earth and stone wall, and extend the fortifications on the north side to another valley, and set up camp here - first do not dig a trench, first set up dog's foot wood along the edge of the rock, and some people will build a wall, quickly, quickly!
