Eagle Byzantium

Quickly, the sun rose from the cliff, and its rays of light shone on the sea of ​​Durazzo, turning the back of the entire castle into darkness. Although all the soldiers attacking from the city could see the sun, all of them could not see the sun. Still standing silently at night Under the majestic gray curtain wall, there are still a few forest distances from the Ishmi River, and there are many camps along the way - everyone is well hidden, and Gawain's platform over there is absolutely Can't find myself.

The beeping bugle sounded rapidly from the towers of the city wall, which was the signal for a surprise general attack. The first to move was the Chinese army led by Count Duane, totaling 6,000 people. In front of them were all the brown army pagan light soldiers and arrows. Hands, followed by five hundred Norman knights holding lances in the center, and the last two thousand soldiers of Gonletto's Razor Company were the last to hold the line.

All the soldiers carried out the order faithfully and reliably: they all had a good meal in the city before setting off. The Sicilian Crescent soldiers wrapped in white turbans at the outpost walked quickly, carrying horn bows, scimitars, and straight swords. There was a "rustling" sound; the hoofs and spears of the Norman knights behind made a "grinning" sound. The spear blade was dark because it was covered with cloth.

The sun also seemed to have legs, flickering in and out of the galloping clouds, as if it were right above people's heads. Count Duane's army ran very fast among the tree stumps and branches of the forest, and soon they appeared at Qianze in the middle of the White Ishmi River. One after another, one cluster, one group after another, they came from the forest and the wooden fence. They walked out of the camp, quickly gathered into a dense column, and began to wade through the water and advance silently and lifelessly to the other side.

In Gonletto's follow-up team, there were actually four large guns and wheeled artillery, each pulled by mules and horses, and they also accompanied the team as they crossed the river.

The left wing is entirely composed of Venetian and Hungarian teams, about 5,000 people. Among them, Clembald's team is "supervised" at the front, while Felleyer's eldest son Giosofat commands the city-state team on the second line. They were also equipped with five hundred muskets and two cannons. The river they crossed was steeper and more rapid, and there were also the burned wreckage of several Skua longships lying across it. On the opposite side was the outpost camp of the Gemegis Brigade.

On the sandbank where the right wing downstream enters the sea, 4,500 Irish and Scottish warriors led by Scottish general Gray Wallace formed a brave column, holding spears as dense as a forest. The warriors wore plaid skirts and blew Playing the low and long bagpipe, it also boomed across the soft ground On the other hand, appeared between the positions of the Gimakis Brigade and the Guardian Brigade - General Wallace's task is to block the passage between these two places, prevent each other from supporting each other, and cooperate with Count Duane at the appropriate time. , broke through the tyrant emperor's imperial camp and achieved a decisive victory on the battlefield.

This is a spectacular and decisive raid, and success or failure will be decided within this day.

In the city of Durazzo, Tafur, the youngest son of Felaye who was responsible for staying behind, climbed to the top of the city, looked around at the mountains and rivers that were about to become ferocious and violent, and decisively ordered the firing of artillery.

The sound of the first cannon shook the earth, and the Ishmi River was shaken to the point of causing waves to flow backwards.

The Venetian fire in the camp on the shore was like pale lightning of death, whizzing towards the other side as a prelude to the entire army's attack.

On the left wing of the city's attacking army, the Hungarian soldiers took the lead in exchanging fire with the sentries of the Gimmegis camp, and the battle broke out quickly - the Gimmegis soldiers put up almost no decent resistance, and abandoned the earthen ramparts, wooden fences and The parapets all ran toward the higher ground on the rear terrace.

"The enemy's camp here is very empty, everyone march forward bravely!" Geosofat, who was extremely happy, drew his sword and encouraged all the soldiers on the left wing.

The Hungarian soldiers who climbed ashore entered Gao Wenfang's camp, ditches and earthen ramparts, and found that many shrimp cannon barrels were still propped in place, soup pots were steaming, and flags and flags were scattered all over the ground. Many enemy soldiers were fleeing, so they also shouted long live, "Keep advancing!"

Soon, Count Duane's central army also came ashore. The Norman knights formed a double line, covering the joint area with their own left wing. The infantry began to take out their weapons, put up flagpoles, beat war drums, and blew blaring horns. Count Duane and five or six cavalry retinues quickly rushed to the commanding heights of a hill abandoned by the enemy. Then he drew his sword and asked the soldiers to move forward bravely. In front of him, there were three camps standing next to each other. The platform stretches for about three or four ancient times. Here, the enemy built an earthen city connected from end to end. Now they only need to advance one mile to attack and they will be successful: Gawain was caught off guard, and the soldiers in the outpost camp rushed forward. The main brigades on both sides were unable to return for reinforcements. It can be said that it lasts forever.

At this moment, the second cannon shot rang out from the top of Durazo City.

All the soldiers who came ashore in the center and left wing roared in unison, tearing off the cloaks and cloth covers covering their armor and weapons. For a moment, the clouds dissipated and the sun spread. The blade tips and iron helmets shone dazzlingly, majesticly, and marched towards the target. The battalion advanced rapidly.

The Conletto artillery team that arrived later also crossed the river. The Venetian artillerymen brought wooden boxes of ammunition and barrels of gunpowder, pushed the artillery with solid wheels to the front of the formation, turned it around, and began to fill it with projectiles and gunpowder.

After the third cannon shot was fired at the head of Durazzo, more thunderous cannons swarmed in—Gonletto's artillery team and Giosofat's artillery team lined up all the cannons and faced the Royal Camp Mountain. A rhythmic bombardment began. As for the infantry, cavalry, gunners and archers from the city of Durazzo, they lined up on both sides of the artillery team and began to roll in!

But at this moment, except for a small number of "defeated soldiers" who were still fleeing and wandering around, the imperial camp of the enemy tyrant emperor was very quiet.

Suddenly, Count Duane had an ominous premonition in his heart...

This kind of silence is too strange and strange.

But General Wallace on the right wing was the first to encounter the Guardian Brigade rushing down from the fourth and fifth platforms. The opponent's spearmen were arranged in a deep formation, and the shooting troops were deployed on both wings. They seemed to be very anxious. I want to get closer to the emperor's imperial camp.

"If you want to save your emperor, then break through the iron wall of the Scottish warriors first!" General Wallace shouted, and then drew his sword amidst the howls of battle. The Scottish and Irish warriors behind him rushed He thrust out the spear in his hand and placed them closely together, forming a formation like a city wall.

On the platform, Macianias stood behind the camp in a somewhat depressed mood, overlooking the scene of his stepfather's brigade fighting General Wallace below. However, he was strictly guarded and was not allowed to participate in frontline operations because A special order from the emperor.

"Hurry, father, the enemy's main attack direction is His Majesty's royal camp. If you can't break through this group of warriors in skirts in time, then both Your Majesty, Basileus and Basilisa, will be in danger!"

"Come on, come on, cowardly Greeks, look at the methods of the highland warriors! I'll beat the shit out of you right away!" In front of General Wallace's formation, many skirmishers carrying axes and bucklers, Yelling and making all kinds of arrogant gestures, some lifted up their skirts to expose their lower bodies, provoking the Guardian Brigade that was pouring in silently.
