Eagle Byzantium

Behind the umbrella, the Holy Sister looked at such a tragic scene, with her black hair flying in front of her forehead. She stared at Gawain's back, and suddenly felt that this world of power struggles was so scary:

In order to create a barrier for the city of Balakot, the Song army on the opposite side actually broke the dikes and released water, submerging hundreds of miles of fertile farmland and people and animals;

But what about the New Roman Empire? Gawain ordered King Gur to burn down the entire city of Ghaznavids. Can he be considered a noble person?

Since the Song Dynasty invaded the west, the entire Hezhong, Khorasan, Khwarezm, Ghaznavid and northern Tianzhu areas have been ablaze with war. Countless people have been slaughtered, looted and even died of "natural causes" (waters, fires and plagues are ruthless). One hundred thousand, the city was burned, the river embankments were broken, and it used to be used to transport spices and silk. The Central Asia region, which was extremely rich with silk and porcelain, was reduced to ruins. Although for the Roman Empire and the Song Dynasty Empire, the wars were fought on other people's territory, but... for a so-called noble reason Is killing each other really so attractive?

What Cabermiya likes is construction. She likes to erect a synagogue, then open fields and ditches, regulate river water conservancy, gather people who work for a living, revitalize agriculture and commerce, and slowly make everyone rich, just like ants in After working so hard to create sand leeches, such destruction and devastation really made her feel painful.

"Should we go to a distant place after the war? The valley of Georgia might be the best choice." Cabernetia's eyes were a little sad, looking at the profile of the Roman Emperor who was also her man under the umbrella, she felt in her heart Make up your mind silently.

In fact, Guo Yaoshi and Wang Xianzong colluded to open the river embankment and did not drown any of Gao Wen's soldiers. Gao Wen only lost a few men and a small part of his baggage tents. He also drowned a dozen beasts of burden, including one Bactrian camels carrying perfume bottles and rapid-fire cannons. However, because the Jinghua plains for many miles around Balakot City were swallowed up by floods, the biggest difficulty for Gawain was to march and obtain supplies on the spot.

The emperor set up a royal camp and discussed with everyone for a day before making a decision: the local people almost drowned, and those who survived were full of misunderstanding and fear of our army, and were no longer suitable to serve as guides. Therefore, the emperor spent a lot of money to recruit Ghazni. The native horse bandits in the mountains "gave up their attack on Balakot City and turned back to the west, advancing along the mountain highlands towards Little Mofu City."

Little Mov City is close to mountains on one side and adjacent to the passage between Herat City and Mov City on the other. Its geographical location is very important.

After the Scourge Legion invaded the west, the local people organized a Persian militia of 3,000 people to defend themselves, and sent envoys to Seljuk and Rome to ask for help. Their stance was on Gawain's side, but King Da Ping personally made it through. From the Oxus River to this day, we have been confronting Gawain's remaining brigade and the Seljuq army on that line for many days. The camps are intertwined. It is not known whose flag is flying on the top of the city of Little Mofu. .

But for Gawain, this is just a small gamble.

The three-winged brigade, together with countless cavalry, artillery, camping baggage trains and servant troops, was divided into several echoing columns, traveling through the twists and turns of the mountains of Ghaznavida. On their right: after the embankment burst The flood has reached half of the high ground, and all kinds of dead things are floating on the edge with dirty foam, emitting a terrible stench. So much so that the emperor specifically ordered that even if he was hungry, he should try his best to move towards areas that were not polluted by floods and dead bodies.

Seven days later, the emperor's army walked out of the valley and came to the city of Xiaomofu. This city was lucky and had not been affected by man-made floods. Gawain ordered the entire army to camp around Chugaofu, twelve miles away from the city, and sent a cavalry team to the city. First, he wanted to find out the position of the city. The second is to ask for food supplies.

Soon, the city's wealthy households and judges formed a group of twenty-four people and hurried to the emperor's imperial camp. They told Gawain: "Our loyal position has not changed at all, and we will immediately provide cheap food to His Majesty's army." And fodder. In addition, we have a very important military situation to tell His Majesty!"

The emperor immediately asked them to tell them everything they knew. In response, he was willing to purchase the grain of Xiaomofu City at market prices instead of semi-plundering "expropriation". The two actions were one word different, but the effects were vastly different. Different places.

"Just before, an army with a banner in the shape of a bird or beast, about ten thousand people, suddenly appeared in front of our city. The leader claimed to be the vanguard general of the invincible King of Fairness, and his team was called 'Eternal Victory' Legion', this general wants us to hand over the keys to the city gate and donate money to them, otherwise we will break through and kill all the people."

"What happened next?"

"Later, the militiamen boarded the city and defended it for three days using Roman fire, ballistae and other weapons. The vanguard general used some kind of long-range stone cannon to destroy several of our towers, but he didn't seem to dare to fight. After the blackmail failed, he left two days ago, heading towards Damofu City."

"We must capture and annihilate this team as soon as possible!" Gawain's voice was loud and he immediately said to the generals around him, "Wasat Melo, immediately select cavalry to pursue the artillery and baggage of this team."

Just when Melo was about to agree, the group of representatives said that His Majesty did not need to rush to use cavalry to pursue him, because this army burned, killed and looted along the way and had been deliberately deceived by the local woodcutter who deeply hated him and led him into the vast swamp. Gone among them.

"Swamp?" Gawain was confused. How could the terrain here come from a swamp?

It turned out that after breaking open the river embankment, Medicine Master Guo moved closer to the camp of King Ping Ping in Mofu City. However, the soldiers of the Ever Victorious Army along the way heard that Little Mofu City was also a wealthy place, and they became enthusiastic and discussed with Medicine Master Guo. It's good to "go to the grate and get some head for the battlefield."

Some of the family members who accompanied the Chang Sheng Army also encouraged him.

Pharmacist Guo agreed, and then it was just like what the representative of Xiaomofu City said: The Ever Victorious Army could not enter the city, so they could only burn and kill them in the wild and leave. As a result, they were misled into the desolate swamps in front and behind the film.

Speaking of which, this swamp was also a gift from the Ever Victorious Army himself: the Oxus River overflowed after a part of its embankment burst, flooding a large field north of Little Mofu City, forming a flooded area of ​​dozens of miles in radius. Really unhappy retribution.

Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!

Guo Yaoshi's team was full of horses braying, people coaxing, and the oxen dragging the cannon mooing, looking at the area full of mud and sewage, with no way to advance or retreat.

The pharmacist was extremely anxious and hurriedly sent out scouts and cavalry to find a way around it!

The delay turned out to be two full days.

When Guo Yaoshi's scout cavalry came back and told him that he could take a seventy-mile detour to Mofu City - Gawain's army had already entered an area only seven miles away from his camping area... .
