Eagle Byzantium

"If Theodoro's Black Madonna battle flag appears in the sight of Mount Chakmak, David the Builder will definitely come down from the mountain and launch a full-scale offensive against us." Military meeting in the Scarlet Tent, Gemmagis Brigade Gregor, commander of the regiment, Diogenes, commander of Bellerophon's brigade, Comaroi Gaia, the commander of the cavalry and archery regiment, Hajib, the commander of the Ogus cavalry and archery regiment, Leotius, the commander of the artillery regiment, and other senior generals gathered together to discuss the situation they were about to face, and Gawain His eyes were always fixed on the terrain sand table with Kars Castle as the core, weighing and groping in his heart.

He had previously boasted to his sleeping officer, "Destroying the coalition forces of Trabzon and Georgia is not a problem."

But Haikou is Haikou after all. No victory in this world can be won easily. It requires a lot of anxiety and consideration.

Theodorou's military strength is not very clear to Gawain, but he still knows the strength of David, the builder opposite: In addition to the military strength stationed in Karlsberg and Chiarte Town, he still has 15,000 soldiers of various colors. Soldiers, archers, light cavalry and infantry soldiers are all available. Among them, 3,000 royal soldiers and the same number of Cuman and Alan cavalry are the trump card of David the builder.

Gawain has two incomplete brigades on this line. Because the attrition from previous battles has not been fully replenished, the current strength is about 3,800 in the Red Hand Brigade and 4,010 in the Gemegis Brigade. Hundreds of people, as well as four cavalry regiments totaling 2,200 cavalry and the main force of the artillery regiment.

In addition, Gawain also knew that the reason why David, the builder on the opposite side, could be so calm was that a group of new recruits would probably arrive in the near future to strengthen his strength.

I have the advantage of weapons, but the opponent has powerful reinforcements and numerical advantages.

There must be caution and a proper strategy.

There is not much time left. After this battle, we can safely sweep the entire Eastern Territory and go back to have a third child with Anna.

Slowly, Gawain's fingers slid towards the location of the "Armenian Holy Apostles Cathedral" on the sand table. "This is located in the triangle area at the junction of Chakmak Mountain, Sanukh Mountain and Karlsburg. It is also a low valley - once the builder David launches a decisive battle against me, and this place will be the focus of war from all sides."

The generals also focused their attention on the fingertips of the chief patron, "Here we only have one detachment, the Red Hand Brigade, and some of the shooting corps attached to the brigade." This means that in case David, the builder, uses all his strength Come to attack, it will be difficult to withstand it with these powers.

"I need them to be able to hold it, because I will concentrate my military strength to defeat Theodoro first. Time is very important." Gawain said solemnly and firmly.

"Is it possible to take one detachment from each of the two brigades that besieged Karlsburg and place them here?" Gregor asked.

Gawain looked at Diognis, who thought for a while, nodded and affirmed, "I know the power in Kars City relatively well, and I think General Gregor's proposal is feasible."

"Then immediately send a message to Branas and do this. In addition, I will deploy all the halberdiers and all the chariots with carriages to the cathedral position. Leotius will be fully responsible for you. On this front, as for the twenty-four perfume bottle cannons, seventeen without wheels The one with seven gates and wheels was pulled by oxen and sent to the cathedral to reinforce the garrison." Gawain said cheerfully, "But I also need to stay at the Sanuch camp. They are guarding my banner and baggage, so I want more soldiers..."

"What about borrowing troops from the eastern front of Haddadi or Shirfan?"

Gawain shook his head, "It's simply useless."

While he was hesitating, exciting news came from outside - Heracles, the commander of the Yevanduni Brigade and the future "Commander of the Royal Cavalry of the Great Armenia", quickly sent two detachments of soldiers and horses, holding up the The lion flag has reached less than thirty kilometers south of Kars City.

"Very good. I will hand over the national affairs of the resurrected Great Armenia to Hercules in the future." Gawain was extremely happy and immediately praised the young cavalry commander Fan.

At this time, the battle line from the main camp to the Holy Apostles Cathedral was clear. Gawain personally put his hand on the shoulder of Leotius, the commander of the artillery regiment, "You must make full use of the power of our artillery and chariots. Give that country bumpkin from the Caucasus mountains a serious blow and relieve me of my worries in the decisive battle with Theodoro! I entrust the general red hand flag and the big hospital flag to you."

Leotius immediately expressed that he asked the patron to be completely at ease.

Then Gawain turned to Gregor, the commander of the Gemegis Brigade, "Listen, in the decisive battle between me and Theodoro, your Gemegis Brigade will be the absolute main force on the front line. The Red Hand Brigade and I will The four detachments of the regiment serve as the reserve front, and the cavalry regiments of Muzafi Adin, Hajib and Gaia will be the killer. Theodoro will be known for his bravery and fierceness in the future, and his Tra. The Buzong Peasants and Soldiers are also known as the only remaining elite of the ancient empire, and are the "Flowers of the Eukes", while the Jimmagis Brigade is ridiculed by them as "a ragtag group of shepherds and vineyard farmers from Syria", so Are you confident in this battle? I won't force you - if you and Parney hesitate, the Red Hand Brigade and I will stand on the front line and let you be the backup."

"How can Parney, I, and the soldiers of the entire brigade let His Highness the Patron stand on the front line, facing the enemy's despicable and weak arrows? We will definitely let the arrogant flower of Yuk Xinghai wither in the High in the mountains of Kars! When the time comes, please allow us to capture his Black Madonna battle flag and decorate it with the shining silver spikes of Gemgeis." Gregor was in high spirits.

And his adjutant, the Armenian warrior Parni who had defected to him when Reuben was defeated, also expressed his opinion eagerly, "Please believe us, the Gimges Brigade has been fighting for so long, and it has long been the sharpest sword on your belt."

Gawain nodded, "Then I will put your brigade on the front line, remember the most basic principle - Theodore will come to help from a long distance, and he will definitely be exhausted, so you must be cautious and hold them back until the enemy shows a fatal flaw."

"As you command."

"Finally, send a message to Branas, who will continue to be in charge of the two brigades on the southern siege. When the decisive battle begins, he is strictly prohibited from moving positions randomly and only needs to focus on attacking the main castle of Kars. The coalition forces of Hadadi and Shirvan, with the reinforcement of Caesar's armored cavalry regiment and artillery task force, must bite the enemy's flank of Chiart Town and prevent the enemy from moving calmly."

After nightfall, Gawain, who had finished the meeting, stood on the Shanuh Plateau and looked around, looking at the blue glass-like sky of the Great Armenian Plateau. There was no gorgeous sunset today, and the weather was unusually cool. As always, it was the dry climate on the plateau, which was completely conducive to the development of various firearms. As for the sun, it was only two circles smaller than during the day, like a burning red egg, slowly sinking between the peaks that stood shoulder to shoulder like the Great Wall.

Behind it, the Teranzac Engineering Corps had already expanded larger fortifications around the Cathedral of the Holy Apostles, and also hoisted door guns and placed them in the side hall of the cathedral.
