Eagle Byzantium

"There is no other way. Let's protect ourselves first." Branas, who was shouting, could not understand the subtleties of his grand brother at this moment, so he rode on his horse and stepped on the shallow water that rushed by on both sides of the river island, fighting with him. More than thirty remaining subordinates rushed over first.

In fact, Gawain's four companies, because their coordination was not refined enough, failed to completely seal the Plivensus River outside the castle until half an hour later, and many Byzantine parties escaped. The cavalry slipped through the net.

As for Isaac, who was running wildly in the opposite direction, because there were as many as two to three hundred cavalry around him, he made a lot of noise and dust. He was quickly noticed by the soldiers of the Red Hands Company who occupied the tower last night, and several of them raised emergency flags. semaphore.

The first to get the signal and rush to the battlefield was the nearest "Newly Baptized Cavalry Company". They still followed the combat formation in the drill: the cavalry archers were covering the outside and the Lombard cavalry with spears lined up inside. attack. Soon, more than a hundred Magyar cavalry from the Saint Cyril Cavalry Company arrived and began to fire fierce bows and arrows at Isaac's breakout team on the flanks.

Clusters of arrows struck Isaac's cavalry team like raindrops from two directions. The generals around the emperor's brother were constantly injured and fell down. The blood flying from everywhere hit Sebasto. Krat's gorgeous cloak and armor were splashed and dirty, "Isn't my strategy good enough? Why is the enemy The reaction speed is so fast!" Isaac, who was lying low in the saddle, had no way to advance or retreat. He couldn't help but fall into the tragic scene of the Nicaea Gorge three years ago. Arrows were shot from all over the sky, and he was also surrounded by iron walls. , the difference is that this time the opponent is a galloping cavalry, so the encirclement and annihilation efficiency is even higher.

"Hey, where are you going?" the emperor's younger brother's sad voice sounded - his followers began to turn their horses' heads and fled in all directions.

The words just fell. An arrow carrying strong wind penetrated into the neck of his mount. The Second Glory of the Empire shouted and fell into the grass...

Then, several Magyar cavalrymen, holding knives and lassoes, came to the place where the nobleman fell off his horse, only to find that there was only the beautifully decorated horse corpse. The person was missing, but it didn't matter. Several people jumped down immediately and began to take off the gold saddles and bridles.

"The enemy began to break through randomly, and most of them were annihilated by us!" At noon, the desperate town also opened its doors and surrendered. Looking at the prisoners of war filing out, Godfrey and Baldwin were very satisfied and said to Gawain.

But Grand Duke Barry was holding the horse-headed scepter, looking at the smoldering town of Sofia and the mountains of loot, looking thoughtful.

"Quick, quick. Send these baggage to the other side of the city. Tonight, the Grand Duke has given an order to directly occupy the east side of Fort Sophia and camp along both banks of the Prevensus River." In the grassland outside the city. The battalion officer and non-brotherhood member Wright Boziah, who had always been in trouble before, was wearing a medium-length sword. Between two Greek soldiers, he was commanding dozens of military servants behind him who were carrying slings and hatchets. , pushing the vehicle, walking along the road and forest beside the city wall.

The entire land was filled with poplar flowers flying around, as well as corpses of men and horses lying in the grass. Some of the wounded were captured by the Dalian team and sent to the back for rescue. Some of the dead bodies had not yet been recovered. Most of them were from the Byzantine army. There were many Greek military nobles among them, and they were killed by arrows in this shocking "reverse assault". This couldn't help but make Wright from Sicily quite sad. Rather than saying that he was a soldier in the army, he was a sentimental poet who loved life. What's more, he had previously thought that the mistake in the camping plan had caused the Grand Duke to lose face and be punished. A fine of several months' salary.

But what are those small silver coins compared to these miserable corpses?

Just when Wright was actively thinking about the meaning of life, a few poplar flowers got into his nostrils raised at a 45-degree angle, and then they felt itchy like a dozen small insects swimming inside. No matter how deep a person is, You also have to sneeze, and Wright is certainly no exception.

"Ah——————sneeze!" Wright's head was tossed from top to bottom, and the entire grass and shrubs in front of him were shaking violently up and down, left and right, and his eyeballs were about to pop out. He wiped his nose and thought, but The visual capture of that moment made him clearly see that there was a black shadow squirming about twenty feet away! Wright was very confident in his eyesight. At that time, in the dark night, he could row a boat across the dark water with the help of a star-sized light from the famous Norman lord's castle, climb up the stone wall, climb in and have sex with the lord's wife. Pass.

Wright was so frightened that he stepped back, and then he locked on it again. Sure enough, there was a black shadow crawling over there. It seemed that he was aware that he might be seen through and was escaping. "In the name of Christ, come out and accept surrender." !" Wright shouted bravely, and then suddenly drew his sword. As a result, he found that his hand was held backwards, so he shook it a few times quickly, held it firmly again, and then walked over. The two Greek soldiers beside him were also startled, and then, one to the left and the other to the right, they drove seven or eight feet away from Wright. , the cat hunched over with his spear, clattering along the grass, and pushed forward with Wright.

The rest of the army servants also made a noise. Some hid behind the baggage vehicles, holding daggers and axes to protect themselves. Some were brave enough to wave slings and surrounded them.

Just as the shadow leaped again, Wright shouted in a shrill voice, "Don't move, I've spotted you!" Then he jumped, raised his sword heavily, and imitated the tone of Grand Duke Gawain, shouting to the military servants behind him, "Shoot, everyone shoot."

More than a dozen stones whizzed over, hitting the broken grass and flying everywhere. The shadow seemed to be hit twice, and cried out in a low voice, stumbling, unable to hide anymore, so he covered his hand in pain and stood up. The military servants shouted and retreated in fear, including the camp officer Wright.

The man was wearing beautiful armor, a silk and gold-rimmed cape, and a hide quiver. The diamonds on the hilt and hilt of the sword sparkled in the sun, which stunned Wright and everyone else. They all knew that the Magyars or Cumans in the cavalry company could make a small fortune by collecting ornaments from the dead bodies of Greek nobles and horses, not to mention this guy who looked like a "big fish".

"Damn, lowly man." The man cursed loudly in Greek, then stood up, pulled the bowstring, and shot an arrow at Wright, who was leading the group. However, because his hand was injured by the stone, the arrow had no power and fell a few feet to the left of Wright.

Wright laughed, and then shouted with several soldiers and military servants, forming a simple formation in front and back, some holding swords, and some holding Italian spears (the hooks on both sides of the spear blade are short and round), and ran towards the target.

Then the man threw his bow down in anger, drew his sword with his left hand, leaned against a short tree, and made a gesture of defending to the death! (To be continued ~^~)
