Eagle Byzantium

Looking at the crowd running out, the Roman soldiers, including Maimon and Toulon, who felt the city wall shaking under their feet, shouted, "The city wall is going to collapse!"

Then, in the Dalian camp, Agnes, who was proudly watching the "Toad" burning and three sections of the city wall collapsing almost at the same time, smiled with satisfaction, "Toad... Agnes. Plani's first and most proud work in his life."

"What do you think, Agnes? Sometimes it is a very happy thing to make a masterpiece and see it work with your own eyes, isn't it?" Gawain, who was standing beside her, holding the hilt of the sword, was also watching the collapse of several sections of the New Gate city wall and said to her.

"Humph, this is just the first cry of Prani."

The broken and rolling bricks and stones just happened to fall down along the burning "toad", and also suppressed all the flames on its remains. In this way, the respectable "toad" played its last glory and role after being destroyed, forming a gap slope that can lead directly to the city.

Soon, thousands of soldiers and servants who attacked the city circled the gap and quietly stood behind the temporary wall, waiting for the order of the general attack.

However, at this moment, the sunset has already set, and the killing that lasted for a day around the entire city has ended again.

"Light the torches." However, under Gawain's order, the Dalian team had no intention of resting or getting tired. He and Taitius decided to rotate the troops and push the "Porcupine" archery machine and the stone-throwing machine behind the blockade wall, monitoring the gap in the ramp formed by the combination of the "Toad" and the broken wall. Once there are people who try to fill the gap, they will shoot the crossbow machine if there are few people, and use the "Porcupine" archery machine to greet them if there are many people.

"Don't be stingy with arrows and javelins. It doesn't matter if you finish it this time. You can get it back sooner or later."

The Sultan's palace was in chaos. Maimun, who fled back here in despair, gathered all the generals together, and said in a choked voice, "Everyone, now the capital of the entire great Roma country has come to the time to face the command and choice. There are many gaps on the north and east sides of the city wall, and the enemy is desperately blocking it. We can't transport stones to fill it. "

"Now is the time to kill the Sultan's wife and children to prevent them from falling into the hands of the infidels?" Toulon asked, holding the hilt of the knife.

"What are you talking about, bastard? We still have a way out of the city."

"Watergate?" Hajib said, and then he reminded uneasily. "But the enemy's fleet that fell from the sky blocked it."

"There are still some ships that can fight in the city. Hajib, you organize them and try to break through the interception of the enemy fleet. There are not many of them. Rush out. In this way, the Sultan only needs to prevent his wife from falling into the hands of the infidels. After he retreats to Konya, he can continue to organize the army and continue to fight against the infidels without worries." Ibn. Maimun was obviously thoughtful.

But Shahnami was obviously unwilling. When she and her two children were forcibly dragged out by the warriors again, she kept scolding the vizier for making a mistake: he did not let her leave before the city wall was broken; now the situation is critical, and he forced her and the Sultan's children to be in danger. If the ship was intercepted or sunk, the Roman Kingdom would really be destroyed.

Hajib and a team of soldiers stood on the steps. Then a small rowing boat was stuffed into the water gate for the Sultan's wife and children. Hajib then personally led six Greek-style light boats and lined them up. Under the illumination of the flames of the city wall tower, they avoided the water camp of the pilgrims on the east side. Rowing towards the southeast side of Lake Nicaea - there is also Giliki. A sentry post left by Arsalan, with bonfires lit all day long, has long been connected to the city.

However, this sentry post has long been included in the vision of the Dalian team.

The unfortunate Hajib was discovered by the water camp of Andreev and Samuelfa of the Dalian Team at the beginning of his advance. Before that, Samuelfa made four abandoned but floating ships into mobile watchtowers on the lake, which could be moved by paddles and ropes, and could send out warning beacons, and could also command operations on them.

In the black night and on the water, the flames on the four floating watchtowers ignited one after another. More than a dozen Pamphylian warships and Slavic ships paddled rapidly and intercepted Hajib's fleet horizontally. Flames rolled over the water. After a short and unsuspenseful battle, all six Turkic ships were destroyed.

Hajib, who was in a panic, took off his armor and jumped into the water, swam to the shore, but was caught by the "pilgrim armed group" who came after hearing the news.

The helmsman and boatman on the small boat following behind hurriedly turned the boat around and fled towards the Nicaea Water Gate. Shahnami, her children and maids screamed in the cabin.

On the other side, after defeating Hajib's fleet, the Byzantine Roman warships chased the small boat.

In a panic, the crew on the boat saw three Byzantine ships passing in front of the water gate, and they simply fled to the west of the lake.

About half an hour later, the small boat also ran aground on the shore, but several Calabrian soldiers who were acting as secret sentries surrounded it and arrested Shahnami and Sulerman's son and daughter. Because this is the Norman camp.

After learning the identities of the three prisoners, Bohemond, who was sitting in the tent to "receive", was trembling with excitement. He hurriedly comforted Shahnameh and said, "Dear Madam, please rest assured. You are the same as The noble son of the Sultan, I will never harm you in the slightest or even be disrespectful. You must know that our noble Apulian warriors are the most important. Dear Lady. However, what we need now is to take down the city of Nicaea, so you can act as an intermediary for peace negotiations-as long as the gates of Constantinium in Nicaea open to our legions and surrender, you and I, Bohemond, will never give these lovely children to the Greek emperor, but will send you safely back to your husband.”

At the same time, Gawain, who rushed to the Fei tent to interrogate Hajib, was very surprised to see this man, "It turns out to be you! However, the city of Nicaea tried its best to send you to Sule. Man, tell me frankly, who were the important people in the sunken ship?"

"There was a small boat with neither fire nor flag, which contained the Sultan's wife and children. The vizier ordered us to break out, hoping to deliver her to the Sultan's hands." Ah, who was wet and half-frozen. Thalberg doesn't mince words.

Everyone, including Gawain, Anna and Titicius, were shocked. Then Gawain called the crew members from the water battle just now, and the answer he received was, "The boat did not return to the water gate and fled towards the west of the lake. ”

"Don't think about it, if the Sultan's wife had not died, she would have fallen into the hands of Bohemond!" Gawain sighed and judged. (To be continued ~^~)

PS: It’s really finished. Because the silk blowing is stopped, you can also row!
