Eagle Byzantium

The troops led by Dorus, in addition to a detachment of the Guardian Brigade stationed there, also included about 500 Gena who were recruited from Sicily by Anna's order to "go to protect the pilgrims." Special warriors, including 200 cavalry and 300 infantry and archers: together they have a military strength of about a thousand people.

So the young knight's second son was not polite at all, not to mention that the purple-clothed princess sent a fast horse and conveyed a message to him: After this battle is won, General Orson's daughter will be your wife, and Babalon Castle will be your dowry. After an expedition to the East, he has gone through untold hardships on the road, and now he has finally "parted the clouds and seen the moonlight". He has been appreciated by the Grand Duke and the Princess, married the fair-skinned, beautiful and wealthy "Hertomia", and obtained a city and a city. As the chief earl commander of the army, he is climbing towards the glorious pinnacle of his life step by step.

"The whole army is divided into three teams, taking turns to attack the enemy's stronghold on the mountain road!" Dorus, holding the flag of Saint Theodore, shouted, and the soldiers responded in unison, "Now it is our brigade's turn to show off its majesty. It's time!" Many of the backbone veterans of the team who also accompanied the Grand Duke on his expeditions all the way shouted excitedly. The soldiers stepped forward in formation, their arrow feathers vibrating, and they flew into the camp of the Tiga Kallegos rebels. Then, German swordsmen wearing domed helmets, leather armors and chainmails, holding Sharp swords of terrifying length stood out in twos and threes from the formation, accompanied by lightly armed soldiers holding hooks and sickles, ready to destroy the wooden fence.

First, the trench was filled up, and then other teams, inspired by the Dorus flag, rushed up and pulled down the wooden fence. At the gap, the huge and sharp swords of the Germans and the sabers of the Genat rebels came up. There was a fierce fight with the spear, "Damn it, brother sent a signal to retreat." Diga gritted his teeth, although he made a brave resistance gesture. He kept encouraging his subordinates to rush forward to fill the gap, but his heart had already begun to waver. He asked thirty private soldiers to gather around him on horseback. At this time, the Dorus detachment temporarily retreated to assemble - the entire military camp was surrounded by a murderous atmosphere. Bloody atmosphere.

"Master craftsmen, push up the fire pot carts!" Amidst the rumbles, the soldiers raised their weapons and flags one after another, and several two-wheeled fire pot throwing carts imitated the Roma Turks. After being pushed to a distance of about a hundred feet in front of the military camp, Dorus decided to make a big effort, and then the cupping jar was quickly launched and thrown. Amidst the explosion, a ball of flames spread between the wooden fences, accompanied by this coercive style. shooting. The members of the German Stormtroopers once again waved their swords and rushed forward. This kind of fire and assault were closely accompanied, and they did not give the enemy a chance to breathe and regroup. It was considered a new trick of the Guardian Brigade: they faced The elite of the Red Hand Brigade are unconvinced, and are also innovating and exploring their trump card privately.

Fireworks coming from the sky disrupted the defenders' rhythm. As they scrambled and fled, the swords of the Guardian Brigade approaching like wind and lightning slashed in rows, and heads rolled all over the ground. "Disperse and retreat from the mountain road!" Tiga Kallegos couldn't bear it anymore. . An order to escape was given in a hurry - on the back road of the military camp, rebels were running around along various trails - and Diga took thirty cavalry and fled towards Mutter Castle along a relatively flat and wide road. .

"Kill the rebellious bastards. This is the order of the Grand Duke and the Princess in Purple. Do not hesitate." Dorus said to the Genate cavalry of West Cilicia, "Dare to patrol the former. And the rebels Same fate!"

"Kill!" The two hundred Genate cavalry who came to join the army did not dare to neglect. They followed the battle flag of His Excellency Dugelius and broke through the dead leaves flying all over the mountain path. He bit and chased Diga's back, constantly raising and hammering down the scimitar and hammer in his hand. With the wails of the lone rebels, they chopped them down one by one and smashed them to death in the middle of the mountain path.

By a stream that cut off the road, Tiga Kallegos's fleeing troops slowed down for a moment, only to be overtaken by Dorus's cavalry. The collision of horse heads, swords and armor suddenly became fierce. Mixed with mutual curses and insults He cursed, "Ahhhh!" Diga's helmet was cut off, and he pulled the reins. The horse's hooves stepped on the splashing stream and continued to head towards the mountain path at the back door of Mutter Castle. His loyal private soldiers continued to chase him. He was struck by the soldiers' blades and spear points, fell from his horse and died.

"Damn it, His Majesty the Emperor is not trustworthy at all!" This was Diga's frantic thought in his heart. However, although he wanted to correct his behavior in the future, he was unable to do so because the Dorus held the flag and followed him. Just a short distance behind his horse, the other hand had already raised the lance (a lightweight throwable type) with one hand!

The bright spear tip met the reflection of the churning stream and shone in his eyes. In panic, Diga turned sideways to pick up the string. Then the spear from behind roared from behind and passed by his ear. Then Diga turned over and pulled the spear. The bow flew in the direction of Dorus.

The arrow went straight into the neck of Dorus's horse. Fortunately, the horse had put on a crotch protector in advance. Dorus staggered and almost fell straight from the horse into the water. He couldn't help being shocked and frightened, and almost made the stranger The beautiful Hertomia became a widow directly.

As for Diga's mount, its hoofs flew past the spear stuck in the water and mud, and it rushed towards its destination. However, all thirty of his soldiers were killed, and no one was spared.

After seizing the surrounding mountain roads, Dolus continued to lead the troops to the north side of the Mutter River Valley. The tenants on the Ginat Manor along the way rioted and came to surrender one after another. Dolus was not polite and directly ordered the infantry detachment to enter the area, declaring all the property of the people as "counterfeit property" and looting and confiscating it. The wives and daughters of the rebel Ginat lords were also tied up with ropes by the Germans, wailing on the ground, and led towards the direction of the Mutter Castle.

Whenever the German soldiers, with terrifying eyes, blowing their beards, said in a German accent, "Hey, fellow countryman", all the former noble women held their heads and cried in fear, kneeling in front of them, and handed over their jewelry, account books and clothes, just asking them to keep their chastity.

"Hey, raping women is not allowed. This is the most strict military discipline declared by the Grand Duke!" Dolus rode his horse and walked past the burning manor house, repeating it repeatedly. The soldiers who wrapped their jewelry necklaces around their breastplates in a funny way all booed in dissatisfaction, led the livestock and women, and slowly followed the team forward.

"The entire Seleucid nobility was destroyed in the war because of an unrealistic rebellion." In the firelight, a Jinat, a small noble cavalryman from Sicily, wrote on the notepad with a pen on the saddle, looking at the weeping women and children who were detained. (To be continued ~^~)
