Eagle Byzantium

Gawain said to the sleeping officer that your idea is very novel, but the Greater Armenia region and the Port of Fasis on the west coast of the Uxion Sea are separated by the mountains of Erzurum and the Lesser Caucasus, so there is no way to connect them.

"Being unable to communicate is not the purpose of this?" Wen Ruomingna said suddenly, "Giving Greater Armenia an outlet to the sea is enough to make their chamber of commerce feel excited and loyal to you, and it is also in line with the patronage of His Highness the Patron. The commercial power of the Neanderthals unified Persia. The goal of the eastern trade in the Uke Xinghai Sea is that this outlet is not connected to its inland territory. The final situation is that Ani merchants are concentrated in Fasis Port, while soldiers and farmers are concentrated in the inland, and they come in. Without unity, possible threats to you will not exist."

"Interesting, you should keep talking."

"As ordered, I also think that the Aras River (which runs sideways through the entire Greater Armenia) can be used as a boundary to divide it into north and south regions. His Highness Ani, Duin and Kars in the north can be returned to all Armenians. To restore the country, His Highness can appoint a descendant to rule the Fanhu area in the south, as my servant suggested before."

"Descendant, do you think I should give it to Christopher?"

"No." Wen Ruomingna shook her head hurriedly, "This will do more harm than good. His Highness Christopher is your future orthodox heir. If he is entrusted to Lake Fan, he will definitely have his own bureaucrats and officials before he reaches adulthood. General's team, if we come back like this, internal strife will break out."

"Well, then only Turianus and Calleadeos are left." Gawain thought thoughtfully, and then he stared at the sleeping officer who looked up at him with his blue eyes, " Wen Ruomingna, maybe I shouldn’t be in a hurry to make a choice, right? As I said to you before, the banquet has not started yet, so there is no need to rush to reveal the seat list.”

"Your Highness is wise, that's true." The sleeping officer replied gently.

"There is also a future Great Armenia, which also needs a nominal king to rule. In your opinion, what kind of situation will it have then?" Gawain stood up at this moment, and the light of the sunset illuminated the golden-red upper layer of his robe. Dizzy, he weighed the scepter in his hand and asked his sleeping officer about this more interesting topic.

"His Highness must have already had a brilliant plan in mind, so I don't need to talk too much. I think His Highness, while making Hercules the forerunner of the king, while raising the brothers Thoros and Lolita at the same time, must have his own unfathomable thoughts. That's what I thought." The sleeping attendant replied.

"Very well Wen Ruomingna, you will continue to serve in the palace as my confidant in the future. Not only will you assist me, but you will also assist the next generation in the internal affairs." Gawain turned around and praised her with high expectations.

After the two of them finished speaking, the "captain" falcon suddenly neighed, and then all the soldiers on the Shanukh Highlands heard fierce gunshots and shouts of death coming from the east of Kars City, " It's the coalition forces of Haddadi and Shirfan that have begun to attack the target, which is good," Gawain pointed at the figure of Karlsburg with his scepter and said with certainty.

At this time, the guard stood in front of the outpost on the easternmost side of the castle, watching the fighting situation below.

This place is integrated with the outer wall of Kars. The sentry fort is built on a protruding earth platform, but it is protected by stone walls and battlements. Half of the waist is lined with pickets to prevent enemies from climbing. The upper wall There are dense perforations and spear holes drilled into it. Looking straight down the eastern slope here - you can see the fierce battle in Chiarte Town at a glance.

The coalition forces wearing colorful turbans once again used the musketry team as the vanguard, firing while walking. This time, under the "training" of the shooting sergeant sent by Gawain, this group of Kurdish shooters obviously improved. A musketeer was followed by two servants carrying light horses on their backs. The horses were deployed each time they advanced, and each team's wings staggered to cover the shooting. There were also spearmen and archers mixed in the middle to cover the reloading gap.

On the coalition's preparatory front, Caesar's cavalry, who were fully armored, formed a cone formation and cheered majestically from the rear.

Zacharias on the opposite side was very calm. He surrounded the town and the river behind him, and began to conduct defensive operations in accordance with Byzantine drills, holding down his position calmly. Therefore, although the sound of shooting filled the sky, in fact, the two sides were fighting along the outer trench of Chiarte Town for garbage time: this is what the guarding officer saw and gained.

However, the progress of the defenders' brigade in the south made it even more difficult for the defenders. After several days of artillery fire, several gaps had been blasted out of the outer wall of Karsnan. In addition, the large Plani cannon suppressed and killed the maintenance personnel. By this day, the garrison brigade had laid a pontoon bridge on the moat and pushed a heavy ladder to seize the commanding heights of the tower.

Fierce offensive and defensive battles broke out on both the east and south sides, but only the northwest and northwest fronts, where the main forces of the two sides faced off, remained in terrible silence.

Four days later, the Guardian Brigade basically controlled the outer walls of Kars.

Gawain promptly ordered: Bellerophon's brigade of 4,000 men (not yet full strength) on the Mucha Hill quickly followed up, and cooperated with General Branas to break into the southern slope between the inner and outer walls, and started a hand-to-hand street battle with the defenders.

After another two days, various buildings on the southern slope were either burned or captured by Branas' troops. General Mahadezeri, who had really retreated to the main fortress at this time, finally felt a little tired. At the same time, he ordered all the soldiers to take turns to squat on the five-layer battlements and towers of the Ota Gate, heading south like rain. Po was rolling firecrackers and firing ballistae, while worrying about the gains and losses of the two outposts on the east side.

Because the two outposts are actually on the same line with the main fort on the ridge, that is to say, the top of the mountain where the Karsburg is located is flat from east to west. In other words, as long as Branas captures these two places, he can set up artillery at the location of the outposts and blow down the city wall from the "Belram Gate" in the east.

So for the first time, Mahadezeri waved a signal flag towards the Chakmaq Mountain in the north, requesting the builder David to give "reinforcements" at an appropriate time, at least to send a detachment to cross the river and enter from the north gate of the castle, so that he can have surplus military force to reinforce the two outposts that are crucial to the overall situation.

One of them is guarded by the garrison officer.

A correct version can be found in the 16-9 book forum!

When the letter was delivered, the builder David climbed the high slope, observed the entire battle situation, hesitated for a while, and agreed to send 1,500 people into Kars.

But soon the horn sounded on the Shanuhe Heights, and Gawain's Red Hand Brigade also moved. They followed the northeast-southwest oblique axis and suddenly attacked the valley where the Armenian Apostolic Church was located.

"Gawain is preparing to intercept my reinforcements there, and then provoke me, hoping that I will send out my main force to fight him?" David, the builder who overlooked the scene, judged angrily.
