Eagle Byzantium

Anna was also a little angry and guilty. She stretched out the scepter in her hand and gently tapped the little sunfish on the forehead, "Don't cry. We made the closest sisterly mutual aid oath in the Great Salt Lake. We must be punished." I controlled this greedy brown bear, but I was the first to break my oath and make you end up on Gawain's bed. The first time will be the second time. What does your grandfather think?"

"He was very angry, waving his hands and angrily scolding the patron..." The little sunfish didn't let go of his hand covering his cheeks and eyebrows, and he spoke weakly.

"to be honest."

"Yes, in fact, he was very excited in private, and said to the slave beside him that the proverb is correct. Parents should set up their daughter's room in the most remote corner when she grows up, and pretend to be deaf and dumb so that she can have children and grandchildren earlier. After learning about this embarrassment, he was still anxious to find a name for the child in my belly. He kept saying "perfect" - he actually said that a real emperor should find a considerate and beautiful mistress from all walks of life - nobles, military elites, citizens, businessmen, farmers and craftsmen, because Then every class would be proud of it..."

"Okay, okay." Anna raised her palm to interrupt the other party and continued to talk about Maglendius's "elder experience", "Agnes, you can rest assured in the Tarsus palace study during this time. "Li Baoyu, don't worry, I will give your future child a noble status. Now my question is, where is Gao Wenren?"

"He did not dare to return to the court of Tarsus, so he ran away, saying that he was going to Sith County to mobilize all the troops to go out in the coming spring."

"Sneaked away again, this cunning and shameless bear!" Anna tightened her hold on the scepter.

When spring arrived next year, the canal between the Comaches and Sanus rivers was opened on time. The final ship lock was a herringbone lock. When the locks were opened, small Latin-style flat-bottomed boats loaded iron ore and charcoal from the mountains of Melitene and Elbistan, and followed the rolling river according to each schedule. It is transported non-stop to iron and forging centers throughout the country within the specified time of each month. Heart: Tranzac City in Sis County. Among the mine pits that were also erected there, vertical mine tunnels and slope mine tunnels intertwined like a spider web. Mules and horses pulled heavy carts loaded with ore along the slope to pant. He continued to climb up, spraying bright white air amidst the sound of the whip. In the open land under the ladder, there were fires built one after another, which burned the sky and clouds in the entire castle and county red. Further outside, on the streets facing the city of Tarsus, there were clearly " "Rutted road" - on such a road, heavy-loaded horse-drawn carriages and ox-carts can maximize transportation efficiency.

When the fleets and fleets continuously transported the products to the cities of Tarsus and Seleucia, the chimneys of the ordnance department workshops there began to emit fireworks again, and the long-fire gunsmiths rolled up the iron sheets and burned them. On the red iron core rod, after forming Then slowly drill it through from the front end, and on the wall behind them are lined up a series of sharp and huge infantry spears, as well as many wooden brackets for firecrackers, and there are also some fine workshops that make dog heads, snake heads, etc. Fire hook and trigger in the shape of a fish faucet.

In Atalia Bay, five dry and wet docks have begun to operate. The Marine Frontier Area with a population of 50,000 supports 4,000 shipwrights working in the docks. Local loggers cut down the finest oak and ash from Phrygia, Pisidia, Hardy and other places, bundled them and floated them down from the tributaries of various mountains, and sent them to the wooden fence at the dock at the estuary. , as the hulls were continuously accumulated in the hands of shipwrights, and the large ladders at Alanya and Alamein were built. In the workshop, long Persian perfume bottles were made one after another. One-third of the models had longer barrels and were equipped with cardinals and wheels according to the regulations of the Battle of Philomelon. People were still making them there. Sails were brought from Provence and Aquitaine to strengthen maritime armaments.

Now, Gawain has transformed the Pyrothrowers: the original fire-throwers and fire-throwers among them have all been scattered and strengthened into five brigades. So far, the auxiliary fire-throwers in the brigades are all called "auxiliary fire-throwers." Shooting Team", People The number of troops was expanded to 900, with a total of 15 companies. They continued to cooperate with the 300 archers to carry out the long-range firepower of the brigade. The weapons were light long-fire blunderbuss, fork-mounted heavy fire blunderbuss, light-handed blunderbuss, and many more. "Shrimp Beard Cannon". The Fire Throwing Regiment, which originally belonged directly to Gawain, was renamed the "Artillery Regiment". They were unified into artillery corps, using medium and heavy artillery. The former mainly used extended wheeled perfume bottle cannons and light siege mortars, and the latter The latter mainly use the Grand Plani catapult cannon and the Fire Bear Cannon, and are equipped with an exclusive baggage and ammunition fleet.

Now the "Artillery Regiment" has all gathered in Sith City, with clear camps and military flags. The gunners and soldiers have eye-catching military uniforms. Not only do they wear umbrella-shaped helmets, they also wear special navy blue smocks and brass badges. This is a retro look at the navy uniform color from the ancient Roman Empire.

At the beginning of spring, the urgent documents of the Brenus couple flew to Tarsus like snow: under the city of Prusa, their army was no match for Titicius, and they were defeated one after another. Now the new emperor John, who had no worries about the West, had basically controlled the battlefield of Prusa City and began to press on the cities of Nanfeihong and Philadophiam.

“It is planned to send General Branson’s Hierapolis Brigade and General Gaia’s Comaloi Cavalry Regiment from the Cadmos Pass (a rugged mountain road connecting Attalia and Ephesus) to the plains of Cape Miletus to serve as the backup for their ally Brennus and continue to fight with John and Raymond; as for General Decius’ Philomelon Brigade, it will also be sent to the Afyon Castle to replace the most elite Red Hand Brigade and cooperate with the border troops in the local border area to continue to bite and entangle Raymond’s territory on the front line. At this moment, the Red Hand Brigade, the Gimges Brigade, the Caesar Armored Cavalry Regiment, the Ogus Cavalry Regiment, and the Red Hand Twin Cavalry Regiment ended their winter camp and rushed to the city of Sis to gather. , and the artillery regiment that had arrived there were ready to support Lord Baldwin to go to the Holy City to be crowned. "

When the secret letter with these contents was approved by Anna, it was sent to the city of Sis, and Gawain also stamped it, "Yes, it must be assembled before March, and then advance to the Syrian Gate together with the army of the County of Adana. In addition, except for a detachment stationed in Kyrenia Castle, the rest of the Guard Brigade, under the command of General Branas, will assemble side by side with Bohemond's army from the port of Salamis on the island of Cyprus, ready to take a ship from Tartus or Latakia when the opportunity arises. "

This completely formed a "pincer attack" by sea and land against the Kingdom of Antioch.

At the same time, the cavalry was ordered to deliver another urgent letter from Jerusalem to Gawain and Baldwin, "The pagan Egyptian army, like the white locusts covering the sky and the sun described in the Bible, began to march towards the Holy City! "
