Eagle Byzantium

Breenus was indeed attacked by Gawain's cavalry and infantry on the battlefield before. Breenus himself was besieged by more than a dozen spears at the same time. Almost all his guards died in the battle. However, he was fortunately dressed in simpler clothes and discarded them. The flag queen actually escaped without dying on the spot.

Then Breenus did get lost as the emperor expected, but he did not insist on forcing himself to find the emperor's camp to return to the army, because then he would have to travel through the entire daytime battlefield, and there was a possibility of being caught and killed by Gawain's night patrol. Big, because Gawain gained victory in the day battle and control of the battlefield.

In the end, Brennus couldn't run around, otherwise there was a high possibility that he would be killed by deserters everywhere and robbed of his wealth. This was a common occurrence in the wild plateau.

As the night fell, Brennus did not run around randomly. He covered his arm that was slightly stabbed by the spear blade and lay down in the grass. He was surrounded by miserable corpses and the smell of blood. Before Gawain had time to restrain himself, Still dark shadows walking around , probably a broken soldier or a local herdsman, who came to make money from the dead body - Brenus very rationally grabbed the shield of the fallen guard, covered it on his body, and then pulled out the sword, with the blade facing outward. Dare to relax and always maintain a vigilant posture.

His mind now began to struggle between the honor of the soldier and the warmth of his family. The air on the plateau after the fog began to become cold, and the stars covered the entire sky and spread out just a few feet above his head. It was very beautiful. Breanus sighed secretly. He looked at the bright stars and remembered the eyes and tenderness of his beloved wife Dido, but he was also afraid that his behavior would implicate the empire and make his wife sad and disappointed.

"But if I die, wouldn't I be more irresponsible towards Dido? No, people always have moments of frustration and unlucky, and it takes more courage to face it than to escape." Breanus comforted himself with the motto he created, and he was very happy. Quickly looking through the grass, he saw Gawain's night watch.

Gawain stipulated that thirty people from each infantry banda and six from each cavalry squadron should be uniformly organized every night and divided into dozens of night patrol teams, which would take turns patrolling, guarding, and hunting for dozens of miles around the camp. Work. The equipment of the night patrol is that the leading two cavalrymen are equipped with fire and windproof lanterns, and then carry sabers and quivers. Behind them are nine light infantrymen, one holding an iron rod to lead the hound, one carrying an iron fork, and two carrying hooks. and flails, two carried bows and arrows, the remaining three each wore long swords and sabers, and each carried a fire tube or pyrotechnic gun on their backs. Among them, the equipment of the latter was only recently put in place and arrived together with the baggage trains.

When he saw the lights, Brenus knew that he had encountered the night watch. "This is the only chance to survive. That is to take the initiative to give them prisoners and then report your identity. After all, Gawain is related to him, so he should not It will be too difficult." As a result, when he was about to stand up and shout, he heard the cavalry of the night patrol holding a lantern and shouting, "Kill these defeated soldiers!"

The sound of fighting sounded, and from the grass thirty feet away in front of Brenus, several dark figures sprang out like weasels, shouting the words of the grassland people. It seemed that they were hired by the emperor, but now they have become routed troops, They neither want to surrender the victors nor return to the emperor's command. The end result is likely to be hiding in hiding. After the armies have left, they will then form groups of bandits known as the "Stripers", robbing and killing the surrounding caravans. or village.

The enemies that the night patrol dealt with also included such people - they caught defeated soldiers and executed them on the spot without reporting or discussing them.

There was a loud "bang", and Brenus hurriedly covered his eyes with his hands and collapsed on the ground in horror: the fire pipe handler of the night patrol sprayed out a white hot firework after the pipe was wedged by the fire cone. The grass in front of the flamethrower The ground was burned, and there were rolling fires everywhere, illuminating dozens of feet away. The other two hiding soldiers wailed, jumped out with their heads and bodies full of fire, and were then shot by arrows. The hand fell after being shot with a bow.

The rest of the defeated soldiers who had been running before were nowhere to be seen. Some were shot down in the back, and some were desperate and evil, holding up their weapons and howling through the flames, and fought back.

As a result, two cavalrymen carried lanterns and held up shields to form the core of the defense. The fire handler returned to the cavalry cover and reloaded the Khitan fire paper tube. The iron fork was in the center of the front of the cavalry, and the other two people held long-handled radial hooks in the diagonal stabs to block the attacks of the defeated soldiers one by one. Several defeated soldiers were unable to move forward due to the fork and were helpless.

Then the two pyrotechnic gunmen came from the side, with flying sparks on the blades of their guns. Just as the defeated soldiers were about to fight them, the paper tube tied under the pyrotechnic gun fired two balls of fireworks with a "bang bang". Several defeated soldiers, their beards and hair burned, their skin festered, fell to the ground and screamed to death. Those who did not fall covered their faces and were unable to resist, and were stabbed to death one by one by the gun blades that came one after another.

The remaining defeated soldier rolled and crawled, but before he could escape ten feet away, he was chased and thrown down by the night patrol hound. Then the hound whined fiercely, pressed his shoulders, and tore at the soldier. The defeated soldier's neck was violently swung a few times, and the defeated soldier died after kicking his legs a few times.

This brutal death battle ended in a few minutes. Breanus was sweating in the darkness beside him, horrified by the methods and weapons of this group of night patrols.

"I am the third glory of the empire, I am the third glory of the empire, don't kill me, take me to the barracks to see your commander!" Brenus raised his hands and shouted, because he could no longer hesitate after seeing the night patrol chopping off the heads of the dead soldiers with axes and tying them to the saddles, and then holding up lanterns and approaching his hiding place.

This shout caused the fire pipe man to jump to the front of the queue, with the black hole of the pipe facing Brenus. As long as his copper pipe was ignited, Brenus would be engulfed by the flames. But the general calmed down and kept repeating what he had just said.

In the end, the night patrol did not kill him, but took him back to the camp of the great patron.

Gawain had just returned from visiting the wounded. He was also very surprised when he got the news. "I didn't expect that I had captured the emperor's brother before, and now I have captured the emperor's son-in-law... No, it seems that Brenus has been captured by my army once in the previous battle of Constantinople Gate." But Gawain quickly calmed down. He pondered over the book on the desk for a while, and asked the attendant warrior to bring Brenus in quietly without making a sound.

"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law!" When Brenus walked in with some shame, Gawain strode forward in casual clothes enthusiastically, shook Brenus' hands, and tears welled up in his eyes. (To be continued ~^~)
