Eagle Byzantium

However, although Gao Wen's words were beautiful, he really "unpredicted".

Just after he walked out of the city of Seleucia, Anna, accompanied by several senior generals, began to conduct intensive dispatches to the entire Seleucia and Cilicia regions. Soldiers included, as well as those who had just arrived in Zephy Lim's "Gimakis Brigade" stationed in the camp quickly organized an army of 4,500 people under the mobilization of General Monomachus and General Gregor. Under the command of Prince John, Before the spies could react, they quickly packed up their luggage and gathered around the wood. The equipment and baggage vehicles formed a long column that marched rapidly, regardless of hiding the eyes and ears of others - Gawain ordered, "There is no need to conceal the march at the moment, rushing to the foot of Alamein Fort at full speed will be victory" - Lamas was walking Promenade, strictly speaking only In six hours, they arrived at the barracks under Seleucia City, where they rested and gathered strength for a while. Then Anna issued an order in the palace: authorizing Birrell to organize two thousand "garrisons" to fight together with the two generals, and to go ahead. Heading towards Fort Alamein.

Most of the people in the garrison wore linen armor made by the Ordnance Department. The symbol was a belt crossing each shoulder, with a sword hanging on one side and an arrow basket hanging on the other. A small number of people used two-handed halberds and axes, or carried shields. In this way, they arrived at a hill four miles ahead of Alamein Castle and set up a formation on the hills connected to the Mut Valley. Then they set fire to the villages and foraging fields on the Kallegos side.

The blazing fire rose in the sky, and in front of the iron gate of the great city of Alameinburg, the three Kallegos brothers were shouting, wearing armor, carrying quivers on their backs, riding horses with howling hounds, and a group of The private soldiers hurriedly rushed into the fort courtyard, then stepped on the steps and pushed aside the others. Going up to the wooden door of the tower, he panted and looked at his blind father sitting in the dark corner, furious, "Gawain's army is coming towards our fortress, and now there is no hope of peace. According to us, It was Gawain who killed that brother of the King of Île-de-France!”

In the darkness, Nikka Kallegos made a hoarse voice, "This time, your guess is not wrong. Gawain is planning all the time in order to seize our family's fortress. What a pity, His Majesty in the Imperial Capital , and His Royal Highness the Prince of Philadephiam City, all fell into Gawain's plan, and they all thought that all this was a conspiracy. According to the instructions of the Normans in Antioch. Haha, probably because Alamein is really inconspicuous compared to the huge city of Antioch... I warned you at the beginning. , Don’t rashly take sides with the emperor or Gawain, but you just didn’t listen and ruined the entire family for the sake of petty profit.”

"Father, don't mention the past. Now Gawain has arrived just in time. This time, with the help of father's wisdom and skill, and the hard work of our brothers, we can fight back Gawain. Then the army of His Majesty the Emperor and the Prince will take advantage of the situation. he If the city of Seleucia, his hometown, is captured, the Varyag barbarian will be completely finished." Ace Kallegos and the other two brothers surrounded their father's mount and touched their father's knees, but they didn't do anything. Afraid of Gawain's attack.

"Where are the fourth and fifth sons? Have they gone to Philadelphia to ask for reinforcements?" Nika raised her eyes and asked in a low voice.

After receiving an affirmative answer, Nika let out a long sigh, "The last time Gawain came, he was indeed hastily prepared and overconfident. But he is a character who is particularly good at making comebacks. This attack may not be as large in numbers and momentum. Last time, it will definitely be more fierce and bloody than last time. The three of you must unite and fight to the end under my banner. It would be best if the fourth and fifth can invite reinforcements in time. If not, just let them leave. Let's go, it's also for our family... The last two have been given the surname Ducasse." From their father's words, the three brothers actually heard the deep desolation of the fish and the net, and they hurriedly comforted them by saying that Alalman Castle is surrounded by a small city on one side and a large city on the other. sea, and to the west Backed by a huge swamp, Gawain could only attack us from the east of the land. Last time we relied on the walls and towers between the small city and the big city to repel him. This time we even built a road sandwiched wall. Gawain couldn't have done anything.

"It is precisely because of the situation of Alamein Castle that Gawain has a problem in his throat. As long as he captures this place, he can advance, attack, retreat or defend Pamphylia and even the vast and rich Lydia. And the prince is still You are too young and are busy trying to gain the upper hand in negotiations all day long, aren’t you? Knowing that Gawain's fast horses can gallop freely between Miliocephalon and Seleucia, don't you know that the efficiency of the operation of Gawain's six division offices is amazing? Don't you know that Gawain is not a scheming person at all? A good person?" Finally, the veteran Nika ended with a long sigh. He made his own judgment, and then leaned his white-haired head back on the back of the chair. This was the only place he could see in the darkness, "Immediately Gawain's army attacked and concentrated most of the soldiers in the large and small cities. In the sandwich wall of the room, there is a stairway for the equipment to go up and down. Once the enemy equipment enters, it will be cast. Burn it with fierce fire arrows. Also, the three of you are each responsible for a section of the city wall, because during the siege battle and the defense battle, no matter how powerful your commanding ability is, you can only rely on the soldiers to fight in short distances, so you must Showing your face to everyone is more effective than anything else.”

"Yes, father." The three brothers looked solemn, instinctively feeling the tragic scene of the upcoming fight, so they stood up, took off their helmets and held them in their hands, looking at their father who was motionless.

"Go ahead. If the situation on the city wall is critical, I will personally ride a light sedan chair there to boost morale. Remember the most important point, that is, in front of all the soldiers, you must not give up the position you are standing on until the reinforcements arrive."

"Victory will belong to our Calegos family!" The old man Seven Calegos suddenly became emotional, drew his sword, and stabbed it hard into the floor under his feet...

"Don't let the enemy's atrocities succeed!" In the wilderness on the east side of the city, Seven Calegos led a hundred cavalrymen in the city and rushed towards a burning farm field. Go there, a group of Seleucid garrison militiamen were waving sickles, rushing to harvest their wheat. When they saw Calegos' cavalry rushing over, they shouted to each other, threw down their torches, and began to split into several teams, running behind the wooden fences and wooden shields erected on the road over there. Then the Seleucid soldiers behind them began to stand up, shooting arrows at the Seven cavalry, beating war drums and blowing continuous and piercing trumpets: Amid the shouting, militiamen holding long-handled weapons kept rushing out from the hills and surrounding villages, forming several teams and approaching the Seven congestion.
