Eagle Byzantium

The siege of Multan, where all the camps and positions were destroyed, was burned down. The more than 10,000 Rajput troops who were based on the fortifications completely dispersed and did not even move closer to the Roman emperor's camp. Instead, they retreated in droves to the fortress further to the east.

This means that Gawain's barrier here is threatened by Sertiz who breaks out from behind.

But the emperor gritted his teeth and did not hesitate. He had seen too many situations like this in his life. "The whole army concealed the news of the defeat of Multan City, and did not care about the enemies behind them. They crossed the river with all their strength. Defeat Yisrael and Yelu Dashi to win."

At the river crossing site, the fierce battle continued until the sun set in the west. There was no winner between the two sides. Yisrael exhausted all his strength and retreated to his own camp. After counting the losses, he found that more than half of the hired Gurkhas had been killed and wounded. The bloody war in Japan.

Similarly, Yisrael also knew at this moment that Gawain's crossing of the river was divided into three routes: the emperor's rampart was in the center, the Gur cavalry sneaked across from the lower reaches, and the eight thousand Rajput servants crossed over from the upper reaches. (The general was a Chauhan named Hamil. He used elephants to block the rapids, allowing the infantry to cross quickly, and only more than 500 people drowned). As a result, today’s battle did not even block the entire route, and even allowed the Rajputs to land on the shore and threaten the back of the camp. “If the opponent takes the opportunity to cut off the return route between my camp and Peshawar, the situation will be dangerous. ”

Yelu Dashi, who had been fighting fiercely for the whole day, resolutely asked for help, "I will choose five thousand skin rooms and go to attack those dark-skinned Rajput warriors tonight!"

This moved Israel very much. He immediately admitted his impoliteness that day and respectfully called Dashi a "warrior who believes in Buddha." In addition, "Tomorrow I will lead the Ghaznavid soldiers out of the camp again and fight Gawain to the end. Let’s go our separate ways.”

That night, Yelu Dashi led five thousand fine cavalry to attack Hamil's camp. Hamil, who came out after hearing the news, also led five thousand Rajput cavalry and formed three wings on the left, center and right to resist the battle.

Dashi ordered all the cavalry in the front to dismount, tie the reins around their waists, put pine torches on the sides, and then rain arrows on the enemy; then he ordered the second group of cavalry in the rear to also dismount, and put their hands on the saddles. He put on a "dummy" made of felt cloth to confuse the enemy. He personally led the second formation of cavalry, turned into light infantry, and detoured back to the rear of Hamil's camp.

In the chaotic battle at night, Nahamil only saw the enemy in the front line dismounting and shooting arrows, while the "soldiers" in the rear line (all dummies) were all standing on horseback, solemn and solemn, so he did not dare to neglect and sent the main force to fight continuously. Fight against each other.

The battle lasted until the third hour of the night, that is, close to early morning. Yelu Dashi led a surprise attack team lurking near Hamil's camp and suddenly broke into the camp and set fire to it. Hamil's camp was in chaos, and the dead were killed and trampled on each other. countless. Seeing that the rear camp was defeated, Hamil's main force also fled. At this moment, the soldiers in the front camp grabbed the reins and jumped on their horses, pursuing fiercely - more than half of the 8,000 Rajput troops were killed. All the war elephants were captured, and Hamil swam back through the Hillspes River, only escaping with his own body, and even his mount was drowned.

At the same time, Gao Wenjun also seized the opportunity and crossed the Imperial Tomb Forbidden Army and Mosia Brigade in the early morning of that day. The second pontoon bridge was also nearly completed. However, the emperor had no patience to wait. He needed to fight urgently, so he accompanied him personally. They arrived on the other side of the river with the Mosia Brigade, and amid cheers they brought four perfume bottle cannons and four organ cannons, and ordered all the bronze light cannons from the floating fort to be transported to the river crossing site.

Then Gawain asked his soldiers to surround the river crossing, dig a trench, and confront Israel's camp at a distance, and arrange all the artillery on both sides of the trench.

The sun rises in the east, the river churns, and the unfinished battle begins again...

Although Yisrael and all the Ghaznavid believers fought bravely, they could never get past Gawain's artillery and blunderbuss defenses.

Yelu Dashi, who had completely defeated Hamil over there, also began to hesitate: Should he turn around and help the Ghaznavids, or should he directly cross the river and threaten to attack Gawain's fortress from the flank?

In fact, at this time, except for the small number of remaining troops in the emperor's fortress, Gawain no longer had many troops on this side of the river, and many of the fortress camps were empty.

Dashi carefully sent out a scout team and quietly crossed the river in the early morning. Along the way, they saw several camps and earthen fortresses with no smoke, so they continued to move forward.

As a result, far away on the plains, I saw a densely packed camp where the detachment was setting fire to cook.

These scouts hurried back and reported to Dashi, "There is a large team on the other side! There are three to four thousand people."

In fact, the team the scouts mentioned was the Ghaznavid army that broke out from the city of Multan and came to support Israel. But Dashi misjudged, thinking that Gawain still had a hand left, so he hastily retreated.

Years later, Yelu Dashi, who was sent to Ghazni to establish the "Buddhist Kingdom" by chance, recalled the battle that year, and still felt aggrieved, "When I fought against the most outstanding Haixi heroes, I failed to show my best because of my youth. The competition between heroes always makes mortals talk about it. They always think that I can do this, but they don’t know that real heroes only care about winning.”

After Yelu Dashi returned to camp in victory, Gawain already had the Red Hand Brigade, Mosia Grand Brigade, Imperial Tomb Forbidden Army and some cavalry and artillery at the river crossing site, and his strength was greatly enhanced.

For a moment, whether it was Yisrael or Yelu Dashi, they felt at a loss as to what to do.

Daishi advised Israel to abandon the camp and lead his cavalry to the north to Peshawar Mountain City and defend it.

Just when Israel was hesitating, several soldiers from Multan City swam to the camp on behalf of Sertiz to deliver news, saying that they had won a victory in the city and some troops were approaching here. They hoped that the Khan would not give up and defeat Gawain with both inside and outside.

A correct version in 16-9 Book Bar!

Daishi said that this might be Gawain's conspiracy. After all, we don't know the truth about Multan City.

In this way, Israel wasted another two days in indecision.

After two days, Gawain's long and heavy artillery had been transported to the position on the river bank. With the thunderous slogan of "Long live Romana", heavy and sharp shells continuously hit Israel's camp: the wooden fence was shattered, the tower collapsed, and the earth wall was blasted with gaps.

Then Gawain gathered all the elite troops and approached the Israel camp under the cover of powerful artillery.

Ghazni Khan rushed out of the camp to fight, but the left wing was defeated first, and then the right wing was broken - the Ghazni cavalry fled, and the remaining infantry were almost all killed and captured. In the end, only 700 Gurkha mercenaries were left in the center of Israel who were still fighting loyally - when Gawain deployed the elite field cavalry regiment, the Pishi, Zhela, Shushan, and Hu army in the rear of Yelu Dashi also began to retreat. Gawain then combined the two wings and surrounded Israel in the core...
