Eagle Byzantium

Dozens of leading soldiers of the Gemmage Brigade rushed forward again, covering themselves with Greek oval shields or Norman kite shields, and rushed into the gate tower, opposite the "Slaughter Pit" in the north gate of Maras Castle. "(i.e. Wengcheng) has been completely changed by the explosion just now. Many of the guards on it were deafened or torn down. Even the lion war flag originally planted on it was washed away.

The officers on guard turned around and called to their regents - they had just been fighting on the battlement passages connected to each other, and they didn't even notice when Regent Fell left.

In a cruel castle attack and defense battle, losing the supreme commander is the most terrifying thing. Even in this war mode, the commander cannot arrange his troops calmly, but all the soldiers regard seeing him as their morale, The source of fighting spirit.

At this moment, the defenders began to leave their posts and fled silently. The Armenians who still persisted in resisting stood on the walls of the three slaughter pits, raised their bows and crossbows, and kept shooting arrows, hitting stones, and throwing firecrackers - the whole On the ground of the slaughter pit, the soldiers of the Jimmagis Brigade who poured in were close together, overlapping and raising various shields in a jumbled manner. The pattern of the coat of arms was facing up to the city wall. Under it, they stepped on the embers and corpses, separated several "passages", and allowed the soldiers carrying ladders and ladders to pass through at low waist and push the equipment into the rows on the city wall. , and then there were soldiers bravely holding up their sharp spears, holding their shields sideways and climbing up the ladder. There were howls and figures of fighting everywhere.

At the gap in the city wall on that side, the melee also began to change in the direction that was favorable to the Jimmagis Brigade. The decline of the Armenian soldiers who were defending there became more and more obvious as the sun went down. They suffered heavy casualties and could hardly maintain their blocked formation. The auxiliary support on the top of the city was also suppressed by the rounds of Gawain's shooting army below the wall. I don't know who is spreading the news at this moment, "The regent has taken the widow and escaped through the secret door in the east wall. !" The morale of the army quickly became chaotic, and Marash could no longer hold on. This feeling became clear in the hearts of all the soldiers on both sides, so the attackers began to get mad and excited, while the defenders retreated one after another in confusion.

When Dorus Lambert happily followed the siege team and came to the city wall again with his sword in hand, he saw that in the gaps and in the shadows cast by the buildings and stone walls, guards had begun to move around. Fleeing, there were cheers of "Romana" and "Hallelujah" everywhere.

"Come in, Dorus, I want to be the first to capture the Marash Mountain Fort!" Dorus shouted, and then, surrounded by several trusted border soldiers, he quickly ran to the large area where the breakthrough had been made. At the gap (there is still fierce resistance at the slaughter pit and gate tower, and it is not yet completely under control), "Where is the flag, where is the flag?"

When others passed the gap to pass the battle flag, Dorus Chunfeng stood proudly outside the gap and continued to direct the soldiers to charge in.

Suddenly, he saw the "corpse" of a young Armenian soldier beside the rubble struggling to move a few times. Dorus was alert and instinctively raised his sword.

It seemed that the soldier was injured in the abdomen, so he lay on the ground, as if his intestines were leaking out. It was a fatal wound, but his death would not be quick, and he would have to endure slow torture. Then he moved two more times. He became stiff again, probably dead.

Dorus Lambert breathed a sigh of relief. He turned around and saw that the border residents were already carrying their own battle flags and cheering, "Quick, prepare to rush to the city wall to seize the gate tower and plant it in the Ani people." The city head.”

Before Dorus could finish his words, he heard an exclamation of "Be careful, general".

Dorus turned his head back in shock - the young Armenian soldier who was originally "completely dead" stood up at some point, with a smoking blunderbuss in his arm. It was stained with his blood and intestines, and had a short arrow inserted for firing.

This soldier is only about seven or eight feet away from the military chief of the Fanka Border Fortress.

The handgun should have been obtained from the body of a shooting soldier, and the other party was already familiar with how to operate the shooting. He wanted to use his last strength and life to tell the military chief of Vanka about the unyielding side of the Armenians.

When several border people rushed past Dorus with spears in their hands, ready to kill the dying soldier holding a blunderbuss, a group of fireworks exploded and the blunderbuss went off - Dorus opened his arms, He stumbled back two steps and fell to the ground.

Several spears pierced the soldier's body and he died completely.

Under the battle flag, Dorus Lambert groaned, his entourage helped him up, and the blunderbuss arrow shot into his shoulder, "Sometimes my wife's encouragement is also a fatal burden, forgive me Hertomia, forgive me My Highness, Caesar." He murmured mockingly as he lay there. Although it was not really a fatal injury, he could no longer lead everyone forward with his sword.

At this moment, in the vast twilight, shouts came from the south wall, "The gate tower of the Ani people has been captured by me, Bramson!"

After the unlucky Dorus Lambert was accidentally injured, Bramson Wolfgang became the first hero by accident: after several offensive and defensive battles, he took advantage of the chaos and lurked in the dark to observe the enemy's movements on the outer wall. He retreated and found the secret door. Then he and several of his soldiers seized the secret door, leading the siege detachments of the Philo Romeron Brigade and the Red Hand Brigade to attack one after another, sweeping and capturing the entire lower city of Maras. area.

"The bounty still belongs to me!"

Two moments later, the Guardian Brigade in the west of the city and the Gimges Brigade in the north of the city also broke in successfully. After nightfall, the hill fort was illuminated by the star-like torches held by the soldiers, and the sparks of fighting kept flickering in the dark corners.

General Firouz, the commander of the north gate, was pressed against the fence of the gate tower. There was an arrow on his cheek, blood kept flowing down his arm, and he was trembling all over. There were corpses at his feet.

At the entrance of the opposite gate tower, two Oghuz volunteers were half-kneeling and drawing their bowstrings to aim at him. Three brigade soldiers stood, one bent over with a shield, and the other two held axes and swords, surrounded Firouz, and shouted to the general in Greek, "Surrender, or jump from the shooting hole next to you."

"Long live the god of war Babu, long live the Great Armenian Empire!" After the general in despair shouted this, he held his injured arm and prepared to jump from the shooting hole to die for his country.

Check out the correct version on the 16-9 book forum!

The two half-kneeling Oghuz volunteers pulled their bowstrings at the same time, and an arrow shot Firouz's waist. He instinctively squatted in pain, and the other arrow penetrated from the back of his neck, nailing him to the wooden wall behind him.

"Damn it, humiliation..." The general who was nailed by the arrow and couldn't jump down shouted.

The axe-wielding Jimejis soldier jumped up and chopped Firouz's neck, which was nailed and trembling with blue veins, with an axe. The blood sprayed on the blackened wall, drawing a red rainbow shape.
