Eagle Byzantium

After Mr. Zhao left, Anna clearly saw the melancholy and uneasy expression on her husband's face. Gawain clasped his hands behind his back and looked at the candlelight in front of him. The flame continued to blur and expand in his eyebrows until it burned him. Her beautiful light blue eyes were dyed pink.

"There is a group of truly dangerous enemies coming from the other side of the Oxus River." Gawain clenched his fists and turned back to his wife with a hoarse accent.

At this time, there were only two of them left in the entire imperial camp. The spring sea breeze was blowing outside, and the little sunfish was sleeping in the other camp. From her husband's tone, Anna could hear the urgency of his mood, so she held Gao's hand. Wen's hands, "No matter what, we can work together with Seljuk to deal with it."

"I'm afraid that behind this group of forces is the Huang Song Empire that Zhao Zhao mentioned... Anna, what do you think the population of our country is now?"

"With the newly conquered Mosia, Sava, Macedonia, Thessalonica and Thessaly, the population is eight million." Anna said without thinking, this was a number she was very familiar with.

"The population of the Emperor Song Dynasty from the distant land of Seris is ten times or more than ours." Gawain was worried. After all, he knew this country far better than Anna did. "If this group of nomadic barbarians were extremely powerful, If the Song Empire is driven to the vicinity of the Amu Darya River, it is very likely that we will be in a very difficult situation. "

Gawain vaguely knew in his heart that there were too many strong men in this world. He could revive the declining Eastern Roman Empire from scratch. It took him more than ten years to seize the Queen of Ten Thousand Cities, control a population of nearly ten million, and dominate the Western empire. (For comparison, Hungary was also a regional hegemon at the time, but its population was just over one million). The situation was going smoothly. In another ten years, he would be able to do it. To the west, he can pacify half of Italy and reoccupy Sicily, a maritime transportation hub; to the north, he can destroy Venice, the cancer of the empire, and vassalize Hungary, Wallachia and the Rus; to the east, he can bulldoze the entire Alan and Georgia regions. The local Crescent Church forces control the Derbent Pass to block the invasion of northern barbarians; while going south, they can also contact the mysterious East African Christian Kingdom to attack and destroy Fatimid Egypt.

However, the sudden chaos in the east caught him off guard, and he couldn't help lamenting the impermanence of fate - the Khan of the Kara Khanate and the Shah of Khwarezm were said to have begun to move closer to Isfahan, and the former had always been harmonious. The Seljuks were hostile, and the latter was a loyal vassal of the Seljuks, but at this moment they were all forced by the pressure coming from the east and began to migrate helplessly.

Karakhan and Khwarezm Shah were oppressed by the mysterious barbarian group, and behind the mysterious barbarian group, they may be chasing the mysterious army of the Song Dynasty Empire: the other party may have also used the blood of "reform the old and reform", and He also revived the empire and transformed into the "iron-blooded Song Dynasty", which really wiped out all the "strong captives", and the opponent's basic base was much stronger than his own. After all, the population and territory were not in the same order of magnitude.

From Asia to Europe, it has been like a terrifying pair of dominoes since ancient times.

So after Gawain captured Durazzo, he might really have to join forces with Seljuk to fight against the "Eastern Power". It wasn't that he had a good relationship with Seljuk, but that Gawain knew very well that he was extremely powerful against the West, and It is weak against Donna, and it is not much better than Seljuk's card in Isfahan. "Both are weak." Facing a strong opponent is an unchanging law in game science. Anna, the most dangerous moment is coming, but no matter what, I will face it bravely out of the sacred responsibility on my shoulders. As long as you and the children are by my side, I will never have any fear of gods and ghosts," Gawain finally said to his wife.

"Of course I can understand you. Just let me guard the imperial capital, revitalize domestic affairs and commerce, contact all possible allies, and raise your children. As for you, big barbarian, you can go out with peace of mind. It doesn't matter even if you don't come back for a year. That vixen is here Couch on the Eastern battlefield I will no longer complain while serving you." Anna burst into tears and threw herself into her husband's arms, rubbing her ears against his broad and strong chest, "Because we have already agreed to cultivate a new era of Romana. .....”

Touching his wife's black hair, Gawain's eyes turned to the candlelight and returned to the cold blue color, "Capture Durazo, sweep away Mosia, and then devote all the efforts of the country to create cutting-edge firearms, and go to the Persian plateau to experience Knowledge. If I can return safely from the east, then Anna - there will be no enemy in this world who can defeat us!"

On April 3rd, under the lonely morning star, under the dark night sky, in front of the Long Bridge of Durazzo, more than 10,000 garrison soldiers gathered and lined up quietly with their backs against the city wall. Generals from all ethnic groups and countries were supervising their own. Team: Just cross this road After crossing the bridge, we entered the battlefield of life and death. Many torches were erected on the enemy's platform camp to illuminate the road. However, they were not allowed to lift the pine tree, and used cloaks, sheaths and cloth covers to block the light of their armor, helmets and weapons. .

"After the first rays of the sun jumped over the sea, bugles were blown on the city wall of Durazo, cannons were fired three times, and all military flags were hoisted on the city wall. We attacked the enemy's camp - starting from the Ishmi River Assault in the middle of the attack, everyone should try their best to engage in hand-to-hand combat. Bows, arrows and firecrackers should be close to the enemy within thirty steps before launching..." At this time, General Gray Wallace stood at the front of the team and said this. Tactically deployed.

His opinions also represent the opinions of the entire army.

Klembod, the chief counselor of the Hungarian royal palace, was shocked. "Why did they change the assault to the middle section of the Ishmi River? Instead of the action from the seaside plain south of Durazzo as I suggested before?"

No one answered his doubts, but Klembod soon understood: the other teams did not trust him at all. They agreed to his plan on the surface, and then temporarily modified it to prevent him from leaking the secret to the Emperor of Constantinople on the opposite side.

Klembod was angry, ashamed and afraid about this.

I was angry that they actually deceived me;

I was ashamed that I seemed to have betrayed others;

And I was afraid that if the city's attack was successful, it would be fine if Gawain and Anna were killed. If they were angry at him and blamed him for providing false information, then all Hungarian soldiers would be slaughtered after the city was broken!

With such mixed emotions, Clembod looked at the distant Gawain camp: it was obvious that the torches on the central imperial camp terrace were sparse, while the fourth and fifth terraces were densely lit. It seemed that the city's previous strategy of false and real really worked: Gawain either moved his main force to the north of the city or to the fourth and fifth terraces, leaving the center empty.

A correct version can be found in the 16-9 book forum!

Once the Ishmi River is crossed, the city's troops can directly attack Gawain's imperial camp.
