Eagle Byzantium

The violent machine of the army is very efficient in carrying out migration, but Gawain, who was riding a horse and looking at the smoke in the canyon on all sides, was not satisfied enough. He believed that after the country is perfected in the future, a new brotherhood and the army should be established. Internal violent armed organizations are still very necessary. Yes, they are capable police, spies and spies, which can not only improve the existing internal and external intelligence agencies, but also ensure the security of the entire country.

But that was only after overcoming the current hurdle. Gawain lowered his head thoughtfully, "In more than two months, Anna and I will have to 'fulfill our oath' and bring Seleucia and Xiqili together." Qiya is handed over to the emperor, and the time now..." Thinking about it, Gawain suddenly laughed, pulled the bridle rope, and took a long breath, "That is the time when he and Emperor Li completely fell out, indeed. There is not much left. I must have two main brigades on hand at all times to deal with the cheap father-in-law. This way there is nothing to fear, so the law and order operation must be accelerated." Then, he used the sharp tip of the scepter. Thorn pointed at the valley ahead, and ordered the two heraldry officers Andodat and Wright, "Increase the investment of strength and send the Armenian logistics troops in separate groups to eliminate them."

"Are you safe to do this?" Wright asked.

"As long as there are benefits of support, there is nothing to worry about." The sharp thorn of Gawain's scepter shone with a cold color in the cold sunlight.

Then, the Armenian "logistics team" indeed entered the mountainous area, and their performance was exactly as Gao Wen expected: they actually did a better job than Red Hand in targeting villages, confiscating the property of Armenian residents, and clearing out sporadic rebel forces. The Brigade and the Gemakis Brigade must be decisive and ruthless.

Fifteen days later, more than 30,000 Armenian residents obeyed the migration under bloody terror. The forts and villages where they had lived for generations were occupied and burned. Although Gawain was hard-hearted, he still developed a sense of compassion and issued successive orders not to abuse or execute civilians who did not resist at will.

Even so, more than 5,000 people died in this law and order campaign. Some were executed as spies and rebelled against the party, while others were killed while protecting their homes. As for the more than 10,000 residents listed on the list and left behind, they will face even more difficult conditions in the years to come:

The heraldry officer under the "Seleucid Caesar" (the Armenian name for Gawain) and some brotherhood wrote everyone's names and family information on the specialty plant fiber paper, and then bound it. into volumes, spread out They could go around the entire Ark Mountain several times, and then their women and children were brought back to Fanka City to "work". In fact, it was supervision - the women went into various workshops to work, and the children were sent to schools to receive damnation. book-based education (Asian and American (Nian people don’t like to go to school), in fact, all of them are hostages - and every three to five hundred men are organized into an "armed group" and are stationed in designated towns. There are thirty in total, and then they Was ordered to undergo "brigade-style training" ": Use various tools to dig trenches, sharpen wood and erect wooden fences, make your own roster of sentry posts, use bricks, stones and soil to build watchtowers for overlooking the police, and also learn to ride horses to patrol sentries in the wild, and light beacon fires. Use slings, bows and arrows, etc.

As for the cavalry of the tyrant Caesar of Seleucia, there are about three hundred people per unit, and they are stationed in several key forts east of Fanka City. Once there is any disturbance, they will come like lightning day and night. "There is no chance or room for resistance!"

Seeing that it is mid-February, the severe winter in the mountains has not yet passed, and the food reserves in the villages of the frontier armed groups are just enough to eat, so the people will plant some food for famine relief around them - soon, from Marashi General Saliki in the mountains, with about 800 cavalrymen, carried spears and bows on their backs, whistled and came to an "armed regiment village" called Salek. Saliki had previously Because Bohemond besieged Samosata, he was dispatched to the battlefield on the east side for a period of time. Now Bohemond has successfully repelled various reinforcements from the "Great Armenian Empire" and surrounded Samosata. Like an iron barrel, they were waiting for the arrival of Merrick's main force to start the decisive battle - so Saliki moved to the battlefield on the west side, hoping to repeat his old tricks here at Gawain, gain some autumn wind, and even open up the situation.

But a month later, Saliki was surprised to find that when their cavalry arrived in front of Salek with a familiar road, they were originally prepared to receive a warm welcome from the local residents, be provided with food, cheese and even women, and find a guide to go deep into the attack. Destroy Gawain's occupation and rule. But the real scene in front of us is this: the villages along the route around Salek have been reduced to ruins, but the city itself is made up of tall earthen walls, densely covered with spikes and dog-legged wood, surrounded by trenches below, and roads on three sides. Everything was dug up, and only the road on the back was still open, but Saliki couldn't get there at all.

So the frightened and angry Saliki divided the cavalry into front and rear companies. The front team held up the flag and arrived at the corner of the village. Saliki waved to it and shouted, "It's us, fellow villagers, come out and help us quickly." Repair the roads, give him some food and water, and we can make that kid Gawain sleep well."

The whole village was silent for a while, and suddenly fierce arrows and stones were shot from the lookouts in the corners. Saliki's helmet was hit by a small stone ball, which almost knocked him off his horse. The mounts of the other cavalrymen all burst into panic and neighed, and retreated backwards. Then, there were shrill trumpets and drums everywhere. Many people flashed on the walls and fences of the village. They held spears and shouted "Go somewhere else, go somewhere else." Then the bronze bell on the village tower was also struck, one after another, and soon it rang throughout the surrounding valleys, alerting other armed groups and nearby Gawain cavalry.

Saliki was furious, "Break through this ungrateful village and kill everyone. There is no reason for those who are willing to be Gawain's lackeys to survive." Then the cavalry of Marash shouted, some of the squads made a detour, and some attacked head-on. The cries and roars in the village shook the earth: the desperate armed group used all the weapons in their hands, stones, javelins, and darts, all of which rained down like raindrops, and many people were killed and injured in the climb of Saliki's cavalry.

Soon, Saliki heard the deafening sound of horse hooves: in the two surrounding fortresses, six or seven hundred red-handed cavalry rushed over after hearing the alarm bell. They advanced like the wind along the only passage of Salek. When the red-handed cavalry arrived, cheers broke out in the Salek village, the gate was opened, and the red-handed cavalry marched directly into it. "Retreat, retreat quickly!" Seeing this, Saliki hurriedly fell on the saddle and led the cavalry to run in the direction of Marash in a mess. (To be continued ~^~)
