Bramson didn't retreat, he unsheathed the Swabian sword with both hands behind his back, and ran to the edge of the ditch, where there happened to be a row of Romani Turks at the front, who had already climbed up half of his body, or his whole head, "Die!" Bramson clenched his hands and swung them sideways, and in the light of the blade, three or four heads flew out, and then the mutilated body fell straight upside down.

I really didn't expect that the Roma army would be so fierce and decisive, after a whole day of fighting, they could still organize and launch a dangerous night attack on the small fortress of Axero (the night attack is extremely dangerous for both sides, if it succeeds, it may completely reverse the tide of the battle, if it fails, it is equivalent to throwing themselves into the net), they extinguished the torches, nearly a thousand people almost did not make a sound, approached the edge of the ditch over there, and climbed down, and climbed up again, this degree of tacit understanding is simply unimaginable in the ancient army.

"Take the blade, pagan dogs!" The Roma soldiers who rushed up drew their scimitars and howled.

The answer was a line of spears that pierced like lightning - the Lombard regiments at the front, when they heard the alarm, lined up, held the thorn spears and Italian spears in their hands at the flat ends, and ran directly from the front of the fortress against the edge of the ditch.

"Puff puff!" The Roma soldiers, who rushed over with the tip of the spear, pierced out of the back from the front chest, stunned, and some of them were pierced by a spear, and many of them vomited blood, and their hands instinctively held the handle of the spear in pain, "Push them down!" Birrell exclaimed, "Phew! All the soldiers in the front line responded in unison, and then shouted the trumpets. Pushing the spear forward, the Romani Turks could not stand it. They were pushed down the ditch backwards and smashed on their companions who were still climbing. Crawled and fell to the bottom of the ditch. Then the Lombard people, holding their spears diagonally, stabbed from top to bottom, and many Roma soldiers who were halfway up their waists, covering their heads and necks, also fell upside down.

Amid the shouts of killing, the soldiers of the Dalian Brigade kept throwing torches into the deep ditch. The enemies inside were crowded together, and in the light, some of those who stayed on the edge were stabbed to death with spears, some jumped into deep ravines, and some crawled backwards, and their night attack was completely defeated by Merlot's presence

"The Grand Duke has arrived! The priesthood has come up! "Just as everyone was holding torches and pushing the cordon forward to the edge of the ditch, Gawain rode his horse with Anna. Following the campfire and the flag, he came to the fortress of Axero, his figure like a silhouette, cast on the frosty ground where the moonlight rose.

"We just repelled an enemy night attack. They happened to be discovered by me. When Muzafi Adin began to lead the horse, Bramson leaned over and took the initiative to ask for credit.

Gawain also laughed. He was given a money bag, "How?" All the way down. The bounty is enough to build a manor anywhere. ”

"Not enough?" Bramson's smile didn't know if it was honest or greedy. Taking the money bag, he saw that the Grand Duke had respectfully led a young girl off his horse, and stood very solemnly behind her, and behind these two, another young girl with strange eyes, carrying her luggage, stood a few steps away, and followed suit. This scene and relationship were obviously beyond the calculable scope of Bramson's brain capacity, he shook his head, and just pointed ahead and said to Gawain, "It's my turn to rest, and the head of the front, Lord Merlot and Billell, are still patrolling the people. ”

Seeing that his subordinates were advancing and retreating in a strict manner and the formation was orderly, Gawain was very pleased, so he turned back and whispered to Anna, "You don't have to follow me, there must be dead and wounded people all over the ground." By the way, it just so happens that I have a character here to introduce to you, who can take care of your daily life. After speaking, before Anna could reply, there was a beardless fat man with an elegant and concerned face, who excitedly stirred up a sieve, walked out of the crowd among the ruins of the fortress, trembled and knelt in front of Anna's boots, "Your Royal Highness, Your Royal Highness, Princess, remember me?" I am the eunuch Staulachos on the shore of the blue lake of the Brachna Palace! ”

Unsuspected, Anna could only nod her head in confusion, and then said, "How did you come here?" And I am no longer an imperial princess, but now a self-exiled sinner, sheltered under the tent of Grand Duke Gawain. ”

The fat eunuch was surprised, but then understood that even so, Anna was still a distinguished guest of the Grand Duke, and he himself could not return to the palace, so Starurachos pulled the robe on his chest, which also had a red hand cross sword pattern, "Your Royal Highness the Great Princess, now I am also a member of the brotherhood under the command of Grand Duke Gawain, and the Grand Duke does not dislike my mutilated body, and let me serve wholeheartedly for the Dalian team and the expedition to the Holy Sepulchre." ”

"What is your job title?" Anna was intrigued by the fat eunuch's position.

"I originally wanted to be in charge of the finances of the Dalian team, but Grand Duke Gawain didn't seem to particularly want me to play such a specialty, so he gave me the position of bartender, and I was previously awarded the Silver Medal by the Grand Duke for my service to His Excellency Sebastoprat." Starurachos said, almost not making Anna laugh, and then the fat man saw that Her Royal Highness the Princess was happy, and continued, "Now, I am willing to serve by Her Royal Highness's side and take care of your daily life, and I can't bury your honorable royal status in the journey." ”

"No need." Anna calmly walked to the edge of the ruin and sat down, "This is no longer the Brachna Palace, and I am no longer the purple-clothed princess of the Empire. With that, she hugged her knees and stood guard by Gawain's luggage, and looked at the soldiers and Brotherhood members who were busy walking around, and then fell silent.

When the soldiers on the edge of the ditch saw Gawain coming, they all rejoiced, "Folcher and Rainold's men and horses are all gone, and they are trapped in the camp ahead. Billell stood beside Gawain, and pointed to the nebula-like torches at the foot of the mountain, and said: The Turks continued to use the two-wheeled firing fire tankers, which were constantly hurled at the camp, and the fire that burned so violently that it was so striking in the darkness that even those who were far away in the camp of Civet could see it clearly.

"There are still about 20,000 pilgrims stranded in the port of Camp Civet." Gawain was thoughtful.

"If the heretics break through Axero, then those 20,000 men, and the 20,000 or 30,000 people in the camp in front of them, will be wiped out."

"Then we have to hold on here." Gawain waved his hand and walked back towards the entrance of the fortress, Melo and Bramson following him, "But Grand Duke, now our army is only four hundred, and there is no cavalry company. ”

"Andreev can guarantee to send two hundred infantry a day, or seventy or eighty cavalry, which one do you want?"

"Cavalry." The two spoke in unison. (To be continued.) )
