Chapter 65: The Plough with the Sword (Part II)
The troops under Dorus were, in addition to a detachment of the Guardian Brigade stationed there, and about five hundred Genathic warriors, of whom two hundred cavalry and three hundred infantry and archers, had been summoned from Cecilicia by order of Anna to "guard the pilgrim procession," and which together amounted to a force of about a thousand men.
So the young knight's second son was not polite at all, not to mention that the purple-clothed princess sent a fast horse and conveyed to him: After the victory in this battle, the daughter of General Orson will be your wife, and the castle of Barbalon will be the dowry. Expedition to the East, after going through a lot of hardships on the road, now he has finally "set aside the clouds to see the moon", won the appreciation of the Grand Duke and His Royal Highnesses the Princess, married the fair-skinned, beautiful and rich "Hetomia", obtained a fiefdom of a city and a place, and became the chief earl commander of the army.
"The whole army is divided into three teams, and the enemy soldiers who are storming the mountain road in turn!" Dorus, with the banner of St. Theodore, shouted, and the soldiers replied in unison, "Now is the time for our brigade to show its might!" Many of the backbone veterans of the team who also accompanied the Grand Duke on his expedition to the east and west, all the way to the thorns, shouted excitedly, and the archers stepped forward in line, and the arrows and feathers sneered and vibrate, and flew into Tiga. In the midst of the Callegos rebels, then German swordsmen in yarmulkes, leather and chain mail, armed with razor-sharp swords of terrifying length, stood out from the ranks, accompanied by lightly armed soldiers armed with hooks and sickles, ready to destroy the wooden fence.
First the trench was filled, and then the other team, inspired by the banner of Dorus, rushed up and broke the wooden fence, and at the gap the Germans had their great swords shiny. Fighting with the sabers and spears of the rebels of Jinat, who arrived at him, "Damn. The elder brother sent a signal to retire. Tiga gritted her teeth, though she made a gesture of resistance. Constantly agitating his subordinates to rush to fill the gap, but his heart had already begun to waver, he let thirty private soldiers gather around him on horseback, and at this time the detachment of Dorus temporarily retreated and assembled—the whole army was surrounded by a bloody atmosphere.
"Craftsmen, push the fire tanker up!" With the rumbling sound of the soldiers raising their weapons and flags, several fire-throwing canisters imitating the Roma Turks were pushed to a distance of about a hundred feet in front of the barracks, and Dorus decided to make three moves. Then the fire pot was fired and projectiled, and in the crackling sound, a ball of flames raged between the wooden fences, and with this coercive shooting, the personnel of the German Inland Charge Death Squad once again danced their swords, and rushed up, this kind of burning fire and assault were closely accompanied, that is, they did not give the enemy a chance to breathe and regroup, which was a new trick of the Guardian Brigade: they were not convinced by the strength of the Red Hand Brigade. Privately, it is also innovating and groping for killer features.
The fireworks from the sky disrupted the rhythm of the defenders, and as they scurried, the great swords of the approaching Guardian Brigade slashed in rows. Heads rolled all over the ground, "Disperse and retreat from the mountain road!" "Tiga. Callegos could not bear it any longer, and hastily gave the order to flee - the back road of the soldiers. The rebels scurried along the trails - while Tiga followed a relatively flat and wide road with thirty horsemen. Escape to Mutter Castle.
"Kill the rebellious mongrel, this is the edict of the Grand Duke and the Princess in Purple. Don't hesitate. Dorus said to the Genat cavalry of Cicilicia, "Dare to go on patrol, and you will end up with the rebels!" ”
"Kill!" The 200 Genat cavalry who had come to join the army did not dare to slack off, and the banner of his Excellency Duguelius rushed through the dead leaves flying all over the mountain path, and bit the pursuit on the back of Tiga, and the scimitars and maces in their hands were constantly raised and hammered, and with the wail of the lone rebels, they were cut down one by one, and smashed to death in the middle of the mountain path.
By a stream that crosses the road, Tiga. Callegos's fugitives slowed down for a moment, only to be caught up by Dorus's cavalry, and the crash of horses' heads, swords, and armor instantly became violent, mixed with curses and insults to each other, "Ahhhhh "Tiga's hat and helmet were cut off, and the reins were pulled, and the horse's hooves tread on the splashing stream, and continued on the trail towards the back gate of the castle of Mutt, and his loyal private soldiers fell to their horses and died under the blades and spears of their pursuers.
"Damn, His Majesty the Emperor is not trustworthy at all!" This was the frenzied thought of Tiga, but although he wanted to correct his behavior in the future, he could not stretch it, because that Dorus was holding the banner and following his horse a stone's throw away, and with one hand he had already raised his spear (a light type that could be thrown)!
The bright tip of the spear, reflecting the churning stream, shone in his eyes, and in a panic, Tiga leaned sideways, and then the spear behind him whistled and passed by his ears, and then Tiga turned over and drew his bow, and flew away at the face of Dorus.
The arrow went straight into the neck of Dorus's horse, but fortunately the mount was hung with a crotch guard in advance, and Dorus stumbled, almost falling straight into the water from the horse, and couldn't help but be shocked and frightened, almost making the beautiful Hetomia who he had never met a widow directly.
Tiga's mount, with its hooves, flew over the spears stuck in the water and dirt, and galloped towards their destination, but all thirty of his own soldiers were killed, and none of them were spared.
Dolus, who had seized the surrounding mountain road, and then continued to lead the troops, detouring towards the north side of the Mut Valley, the tenant farmers on the estate of the Genat estate along the road rioted, and a steady stream of people came to surrender, and Dolus was not polite, and directly ordered the infantry detachment of his followers to enter it, declare everyone's property "reverse property", and loot and confiscate it on a large scale, and the wives and daughters of the rebel lords of Genat were also tied up by the Germans with ropes, wailing all over the ground, and led in the direction of the castle of Mutt.
Whenever the German soldiers, staring in horror and blowing their beards, and saying the German-language phrase, "Hey, fellow," all the formerly noble women wept with their heads in their hands, and knelt before them, and handed over their jewelry, books, and clothes, begging them to keep their chastity.
"Hey, don't allow strong women to do it, this is the strictest military discipline affirmed by the Grand Duke!" Dorus rode past the burning manor, repeating that the soldiers who had comically wrapped their necklaces around their breastplates booed discontentedly, led the cattle and the women, and slowly followed the procession.
"The entire nobility of Seleucia was thus wiped out in the fire of the army, because of an unrealistic rebellion." In the firelight, a small noble cavalryman from Ginat from Western Chilicia, with a sentimental pen in the saddle, looked at the women, children, old and children who were weeping as they were detained, wrote on the noteboard.
