Eagle Byzantium

The surprise attack of the Roma Turkic cavalry was really terrifying. They trampled and shot the Calabrian light infantry in front of them. They continued to gallop while shooting, and then with a long roar, everyone started to rush forward. With the scimitar drawn out, the hillsides and wilderness of Doli Laem were gleaming with sword light.

Just as Tancred's subordinates began to line up in battle formation along the wooden fence, the Roma cavalry who rushed to the trench and fence, picked up their reins, rode their horses over, and then put their hands in their hands. The spear he held was thrown violently at the Normans behind the wooden fence.

Tancred was suddenly surrounded by a count, five castle barons, and several flag-bearing knights who were shot to death. Blood spattered on his neck and face, as well as the fallen St. George's battle flag above his head. Above, Tancred gritted his teeth, propped up the spear pole of the battle flag on horseback, handed him to a guard who was injured but not yet fallen, then roared and drew his sword, and fought with several Roma cavalry Fight together.

The entire wooden fence was immediately forcibly broken through in several places. Then the Roma on horseback continued to slash with their swords and pursued in depth. The fallen ones were also struggling to get up, holding various weapons, and continued to attack Tancred. The headquarters launched a non-stop attack.

At the critical moment, Bohemond led the subsequent soldiers and horses to arrive. Seeing the bloody storm ahead, without saying a word, he left the ladies and monks accompanying the army aside, raised his lance in person, and shouted to all the people from Apu. Warriors from Leia, Sicily, and Lombardy, follow the tip of my spear and go to kill the heretics! Hundreds of Norman knights and sergeants rode on horseback, closely following the Duke's gold-rimmed white flag. Then Robert of Normandy was on the left, and Stephen of Blois was on the right. Each of them fought bravely, and the three-winged men were involved in the killing. On the battlefield, there was a melee with the pagan cavalry in front of them - many Roma cavalry were knocked off their horses by rows of spears thrown and stabbed. But those who caught up later, either shooting arrows from a distance, or approaching with swords, continued to maintain a decisive assault posture, tearing apart the defense line of the first group of pilgrims.

At this time, another three thousand Roma cavalry who had been prepared on the flanks of the hillside were also guided by the flag bearer. The sky and the earth were overwhelming, like black and red flames, sweeping over.

The troops of Stephen of Blois on the right bore the brunt of the attack, Count Stephen's standard-bearer, because of his striking armor and feathers, and his important position. He became the target of fierce Roma cavalry fighting for attack - within three seconds, more than 400 arrows flew towards him. The brave flag-bearer's lungs and ribs were shot through one after another, and he was already dead on horseback. Although he was conscious, he still held the battle flag tightly and continued to run forward until he met the oncoming Turks. Until the sharp scimitar was inserted into his neck.

Then, the count's battle flag fell, and Stephen himself pierced the bodies of several pagans one after another with his riding spear, when he drew his sword. The arm of a heretic who was about to get up was cut with a knife. The other knights and retinues rushed over with shields, protected Stephen, and fled back. Soon the entire Blois army began to retreat.

Next came the defeat of Tancred and the defeat of Bohemond. Robert of Normandy also escaped on horseback after resisting for a while, "God tells us that today is a day not to stop killing!" Under the sun. Giliki became more energetic and continued to wield his sword and ride his horse. Inspiring the cavalry around them.

The warriors of Apulia, Normandy and Blois, whether they were lord knights or ordinary soldiers, whether they had armor or only a jacket, were all fleeing desperately, abandoning their camp, Heading towards Godfrey's troops several miles behind.

Then, the Roma cavalry jumped into the unlucky army camp from all directions. They pulled their bows and raised their scimitars and killed everyone they saw, whether they were soldiers, monks, or even women and children. Today, God Regardless of whether it was the Sultan or the Sultan, they were all given the right to quit, and all of them were left with only the desire to kill and destroy.

Norman ladies and girls screamed and gathered in a tent. The Turks' horse hooves were approaching rapidly. Their ears were filled with the death screams of the believers. They threw themselves in front of cabinets and mirrors. People were scrambling for incense, makeup boxes, eyebrow pencils and mirrors, and some people were hurriedly changing them. In the gorgeous costumes of the festival, everyone hopes to seize this time to dress themselves more cute and beautiful, so that the Turks who rush in with knives will be attracted by their appearance, even if they become pagans to vent their desires. A woman is better than a rotting corpse and bones in the wilderness.

The entire Oles Canyon was filled with the shadows of men and horses killing people. On the hillside beside the Degganli Pass, a red-handed flag suddenly appeared. Gawain and a dozen cavalrymen standing behind him stood on the high hill. Above, looking at the battlefield engulfed in smoke and dust, "After all, we are fighting side by side. If I leave just as soon as I say, it would be a bit of a loss of friendship." Gawain under his banner looked at the Doliraam Castle and the entire canyon. , said this to Giovanni beside him.

Then, Gawain let out a long roar towards the battlefield below, shaking the surrounding land. Then, identical red-handed flags were erected everywhere in the passes on the hillside and in the forest, and drums suddenly sounded.

On the hillside of Doli Laem Castle is the Sultan's camp. At this moment, in the woods opposite, two fire jars were suddenly shot out, hitting the ground on the left and right sides of the camp. Large plumes of flames and smoke were raised, flying in the air. Above the canyon - the slaves and courtiers in the camp were in chaos, but in fact these two cupping trucks were captured by the Dalian Company in the Battle of Nicaea, and they happened to come in handy here, and there was no need to be precise. , but looking for a momentum effect.

In the noise, Giliki. Arslan turned his head and saw this scene: the high hill on his right was full of red-handed battle flags, and when he looked back, he saw thick smoke rising from the camp behind him.

"It's the bastard with red hands. Sure enough, he has an ambush and is preparing to attack us." The Sultan shouted loudly, then turned his horse's head and ran towards the camp with the flag and slave soldiers, "Retreat to Doli Laem. We have achieved great results today, don't be reluctant to fight! "The rest of the Roma soldiers, after seeing the red-handed battle flag standing in the field of vision, shouted "Akin Warriors" in horror, gave up further massacres of the Norman camp, and killed all the prisoners of war. , all got on their horses and retreated towards Doli Laem.

At this time, Raymond, Godfrey, Baldwin, Robert of Flanders and other troops arrived quickly, and happened to see the miserable appearance of the rout in front.

"Set up camp here and wait for the emperor's reinforcements before fighting the Turks." Bohemond, who had even lost his helmet, suggested to Godfrey in a panic.

"No, noble Duke of Apulia, have you forgotten how your ancestors established themselves in Italy? Is it a gift from the emperor?" Godfrey teased Bohemond in a low voice. , then he pulled up Reins, shouting to all the lords, "Everyone, we abandon our ancestral orchards, mills, fields, and castles, and take our dearest and most beloved people with us to move forward along this dangerous road, stained with blood. , is it because In order to get the favor and reward of the Emperor of Constantinople? No, the reason why I am fearless is because I have made promises and agreements to the people who sacrificed before." As he spoke, Godfrey poked himself with his hand. chest, "That is, carry my heart and the heart of the victim into the Holy Tomb together, and be able to protect God's territory and faith with the Holy Son after death. Now pull out your swords, Charge forward, charge forward, and charge forward again!"

"The will of the Almighty Lord, the wings of St. George hang over our battle flag!" Ademar was also impassioned, holding up his crutch and shouting to everyone.

"Charge, charge, let me, my sword, be stained with the blood of the heathens of Asia Minor!" Raymond also shouted.

With the roaring sound, all the knights drove their horses and rushed towards the Doli Laem hillside covered with corpses and injured people again.

"Charge!" Even Bohemond and Tancred could only turn around, switch horses, and attack in turn with everyone else.

After running back, the exhausted Giliki and his cavalry realized that their camp had only been hit by two rounds of fire cans, but they had lost face because of the helplessness of the people left behind. The red-handed battle flags that were everywhere disappeared immediately. They were just Gawain's empty soldiers.

This will make Giliki wake up and turn around again. Thousands of pilgrims' troops have already rushed down the hillside on horseback.

"Counterattack, guard this important castle and my camp." The Sultan ordered in a hoarse voice.

"Dismount and charge forward." After Godfrey said this, he jumped off the horse himself, held up his own flag, and was the first to climb up the hillside. Then countless warriors from Lorraine, Flanders, and Provence came. Holding shields, flags, swords, and battle axes, they decided not to give the Turkic pagans any chance. They all followed Godfrey and swarmed forward to attack Doli Laem.

The first line of Roma soldiers, the second line, the third line... The Jiliji people who returned to the defense camp also ran away one after another, fleeing from the other side of the hillside towards the farther reaches of the canyon. More people were like scattered birds, fleeing from the mountains. Fleeing through rugged trails to unknown places, they left behind their horses, camp, grain, and countless possessions.

The Sultan of Konya, known as "Sureman", once again rode a fast horse and fled to a peak. He looked back, looked at the fallen camp, and looked at the beautiful mountains of Nicaea in the distance. , looking at the corpses of countless warriors abandoned on the battlefield, and thinking of his mentor, wife and children whose lives were uncertain, he burst into tears and shouted tremblingly,

“O Allah,

The scene before my eyes,

Am I in a dream?

Or do you see it when you are awake? "(To be continued ~^~)
