Eagle Byzantium

The fire-thrower gunners raised the heavy cast iron pellets and pressed them against the muzzle of the deep-black Fire Bear Cannon. Then the iron pellets spun and rolled rapidly downwards in the chamber. "Poof!" A loud sound was heard on top of the paper medicine bag filled with Khitan snow in the medicine room.

"Tiewan and Khitan Snow have been loaded." Several fire throwers turned around and shouted.

"Send a firing signal to the craftsmen of the big Plani cannon behind." Nexus raised the flag and waved it towards the tower of the camp.

On the opposite side, the emperor's imperial camp was in chaos. Braenus bravely rushed to the rear line with flags and guards, shouting loudly, "I am the third glorious one of the empire. Now you can see the flag of my team in your line." Soldiers who have begun to move, follow the flag and my steps, go to the right wing of the army formation, bravely block possible enemies, and achieve great feats. "

Then Atretis saw the flags of his team waving, and the soldiers in his team made a low voice of complaint and uneasiness. Atretis and everyone turned around and inserted the tail hammer of his spear into the ground. On the ground beneath my feet, I placed the shield I was holding on Tie it on the side of the spearhead, then pick it up and carry it on the shoulder, "The Three Saints guide us!" Then the flag officer led everyone to shout this slogan. Atretis saw himself and the columns, and began to move towards the mine. He walked in the direction pointed by His Highness Nusi.

"I thought at the time that if we won, we could enjoy the enemy's tents and dinner, and if we retreated, we could go back and enjoy our own - but although night had begun to fall, my comrades and I received temporary new orders to go To fill the vacancy on the right wing, I really don’t know what kind of orders I will receive immediately. I can only secretly pray to the Almighty God to bless my luck.”

Atretis had just finished thinking. Behind Gawain's chariot, the four large Plani cannons began to rotate rapidly with the same command. The craftsman next to him saw the weight box filled with stones at the front. It crashed down with a loud noise, pulling its long swing arm and looking up into the night sky as it soared away. The rope at the end of the swing arm pulled the burning fire ball along the bottom of the big Plani cannon. An oiled chute swept out, and then was thrown out of a semicircle, tumbling and ejected to the very high sky - all the soldiers between the two car barriers could see the four cannons that illuminated half of the dark sky. The flames flew across all the battlefields, and also passed over the imperial camp, passing through the looking eyes of the emperor, nobles and guards, and finally smashed into the emperor's car ramparts with a terrifying light and fire!

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" Several guards carrying shields began to steady Alexios' frightened mount.

"Don't worry about me. Hurry up and take the people and vehicles to transport the Khitan snow in the camp from the concentrated tents and pits to a safe camp. It seems that I have really been tricked." The emperor continued to send out orders to instruct this extremely urgent matter.

It seems that I am really going to end up in Philomelon... The entire imperial camp is full of chaos. Raymond and Ceces both started to look for their followers, preparing to take advantage of the chaos to escape.

"Fire Bear Cannon, shoot!" The fire thrower saw the "signal" from the big Plani Cannon, raised the long pole wrapped with burning match rope, and burned the fuses pulled out of the Fire Bear Gunpowder Chamber in turn. , sparks puffed out rapidly, everyone covered their ears and hurriedly hid on the sides and rear of the cannon pit.

At this moment, Gawain on the earthen tower, facing the ocher-red remaining sunlight, stretched out his hand and shouted, "The whole army - bombardment, fierce attack! Remember, it is not the strong who wins, but the winner who is strong, to win the victory Bar!"

"Tong-tong-tong!" The earthen tower under Gawain's feet suddenly rose up, and the Turkic servants and other guarding soldiers felt that they were about to fall down. With such a loud noise, the Fire Bear Cannon fired one after another. The heavy bronze barrel shuddered and spit out large clouds of white smoke and red flying fire. Even if it was fixed with iron ropes, it could not help but carry it with the belly. The solid wood wheel trolley moved backwards until it hit the sloping backside of the pit, which offset a considerable part of the powerful recoil. It moved back and forth along the slope a few times before it squeaked and stabilized again. .

"My Lord!" Just as the Fire Bear Cannon was firing, Atretis's team was brought by Breanus to fill the right wing. All the soldiers screamed and lowered their bodies. They saw that The iron pellets fired from the Fire Bear Cannon, carrying fireworks, rotated and flew in the air, like red comets that brought disasters passing overhead.

"If we say it is fast, it cannot be compared to lightning. We can easily see how it passes over the helmet, and it feels like we can reach out and catch it."

Then, Atletis felt a sudden gust of hot wind rushing from his back. Amidst the howling of ghosts and wolves, he and the soldiers around him fell to the ground instinctively: several iron pellets fired from the Fire Bear Cannon, and the car behind them The fortress was smashed down, and several carriages were immediately shattered into pieces. Broken carriage boards, frames, and antlers flew up layer by layer.

Then, Atretis began to flee in confusion. From the moment the bombardment started, all sense of honor and responsibility disappeared like the car barrier that was hit. He and many soldiers He turned around and threw down his spear and shield. He couldn't hear what the officers were shouting in the darkness and frenzy. Zhi ran back crazily, fell into the car barrier, held his head and shivered, "It was completely dark, and the only light was brought by the enemy's weapon called artillery. Along with it came strong winds and destruction. The sound was so loud that it could kill someone. I wanted to dig a hole and bury myself in it, if I had the tools."

After the first round of fire from the Firebear Cannon fell silent, almost all of Brennus' troops were scattered, and then the emperor's rear guard and left wing also retreated in fear, and finally even the emperor's imperial camp hurriedly retreated behind the chariot barrier - in fact, the iron balls from the Firebear Cannon only killed a few imperial soldiers, but they were all scared out of their wits, and coupled with the betrayal of Taitius, the emperor who rushed back in despair felt that "my world and throne were going to fall and break."

But the emperor still cried, why did he lose so badly?

Before the expedition, he had done his best to improve the appearance and training of all the troops!

In the long fortress, soldiers were lying and standing everywhere. The whole situation was completely out of control. Some had already begun to flee in the direction of Afyon, some stayed in place at a loss and did not listen to any orders, and some hid in the corners they thought were safe and trembled. It would take at least two days to restore order in this situation - that is to say, the 20,000 people that the emperor originally left in the fortress as a reserve army could not play any combat power at all.

"Where is my son-in-law, Penipasebastos of the Empire!"

"Where is General Ceceus, my relative who was promoted by me?"

In the night, the emperor, surrounded by guards, asked a series of miserable questions.
