Eagle Byzantium

"We want to get rid of the evil deeds of unrighteousness in the army! First of all, no one is allowed to deceive the brothers and sisters who are believers in Christ in terms of weights and measurements, in the exchange of gold and silver coins, and in transactions. Can you do it! If you violate If you do, you must be shackled and marched throughout the camp regardless of your identity," Ademar continued to chant.

Everyone answered in the affirmative in unison.

"No one is allowed to steal property in the camp or disobey the orders of the Council of Cardinals. Anyone who disobeys will be punished by crucifixion and a branding iron!"

"Yes, we are willing to swear an oath."

"No one is allowed to pervert himself by having sex with a girl or a cock girl. Offenders will be whipped and paraded throughout the camp in disgrace!"

"Yes, we will obey."

Then, after reciting the oath, Ademar suddenly raised the cross in his hand and shouted sternly to bring it up. Then in full view of everyone, two naked men and women were brought to the altar, "Damn it, they are from Bana. Sigma of Vil, he is a glorious knight who owns a castle." There was a lot of discussion below, "You recognize him, but the one next to him. This woman was not his wife at all, but a Corinthian prostitute and wandering warbler who had mixed up with the pilgrims! When my priest Adelbero and his men found them, they happened to be doing unspeakable things in the tent. What a waste of money. Now in order to verify that what I just said is true, it’s time to execute the punishment on the spot!" Priest Ademar said without hesitation.

Then, the hands of Sigmar and the Greek warbler were tied up behind their backs. The church members pressed them down and knelt on the altar. The shadows of thorny thorn whips kept whizzing and flying in the firelight. The woman was wailing for mercy, and the whips kept coming. Layers of blood were drawn from her snow-white back, with a terrifying sound that could scare away the bravest knights present. Sigma, on the other hand, was a man. He lowered his head and gritted his teeth, allowing himself to be whipped. He did not cry out for help, but kept asking for forgiveness for his crimes in front of the reliquary box and the statue of Jesus.

"It seems like the members of their Catholic Church are very clean..." Among the crowd, Robert Normandy, who was a little angry, was about to open his mouth. His eyes caught sight of Adelbero, the young priest who was supervising the punishment, and he was hurriedly stopped by Robert of Flanders and Stephen of Blois to prevent the trouble from spreading. Because the eyes of the priest turned to the three of them.

"Come up, General Military Counselor, and announce your military subordinates at the back!" The other party directly asked Stephen to come up.

So Count Blois nodded to the two Roberts. He calmly climbed onto the altar step by step, looked at the dense crowd of heads and eyes below, and cleared his mind, "We are now going to set up a sentry tower on the bridge between the camps (these lords have finally thought of this). Build as many bridges as you can, and send our bravest lords and knights to garrison them..."

"We provide forty pounds of silver every day. We share it with the knights and soldiers stationed here. This is a subsidy." At this time, the clergyman behind Count Blois was obviously very satisfied with this plan and added. And cast an approving look, signaling Stephen not to worry and continue talking.

"...There will be fewer soldiers stationed in the camp below the city, and more soldiers in the camp on the other side of the river and in the surrounding areas. The war horses will also be gathered together to form a layout with light weight in the front and heavy weight in the back, so that once the Turks attack from the city. Whether it's attacking a siege camp or a baggage convoy, we can rush to the attack location in time and defeat them." Stephen thought for a moment. Let me tell you what I have been thinking before. As the military chief counselor, he is still very capable in the strategy of marching and formation.

Therefore, this plan was also approved by Hugh, Baldwin and even Bohemond.

"Finally, we need to build a stone fortress at the connection between the St. Paul's Gate guarded by Lord Bohemond and the ridge of Antioch City, which can not only gain access to capture Antioch, but also induce the Turks to step on it. Let us wait for an opportunity to defeat them in the mountains. In addition, if we cannot attack the gates, bridges and towers to the west of the city, it is better to block them and restrict the roads and range of the Turks from the city to raid us. "

"Lord Blois said very well, just follow this plan. No matter how high your status is, Lord Blois, now we must obey the arrangements of the Council of Cardinals in matters of affairs, and the subordinates of the Military General Council in matters of military matters." , whoever violates it will suffer the same consequences as those in the West Such a punishment for the Knight of Sigma." After saying that, Admar pointed his finger to his side. The fur was stained with blood everywhere. Sigma was still kneeling there with scars, and the Oriole fell directly on it, almost. There is only half a life left, only the breath left, not the breath.

Through the oath taken by the priest that night and the resolute punishment, the pilgrims reorganized themselves according to Count Stephen's subordinates and won a series of consecutive victories:

Tancred was responsible for guarding the sentry on the first day. Before the tower was built, he rode alone outside the gate of Antioch to provoke. As a result, the Turks rushed out 30 elite cavalry in front of the preset position. , encountered Tancred's furious counter-attack. The Norman young man used his sword and was killed by four Turkic and Saracen cavalry. Surrounded and then beheaded all the enemies, and then almost alone, he chased the frustrated Turkic cavalry and ran through the entire tower. Just when the defenders on the top of the city were about to open the small door for the cavalry, A sword cut him into two pieces, and the half on the horse ran to the city gate before falling off the saddle;

On the other hand, before the Dog Gate, Adhemar and Baldwin personally supervised the battle and concentrated six trebuchets to smash the city wall, day and night, and completely destroyed the outer wall and tower on the opposite side. Then the Franks bravely pushed the baggage carts and large stones along the stone bridge, under the desperate cover of trebuchets and shields, braved the rain of arrows, and blocked the four city gates;

Just as Achish Siyan was attracted by the fierce siege on the front of Antioch, the pilgrims suddenly appeared along the ridge in the mountains north of the city, and used cattle and horses to transport stones (there was almost no wood in the area), and quickly built a wall horizontally at a place outside the Acropolis wall. After discovering the situation, Agi hurriedly sent his son Sansardonis to lead the army to try to rush over and destroy it. As a result, they were ambushed by Lords Bohemond and Raymond on the left and right of the city. Witnesses told Adhmar the Clergyman that "Lord Raymond personally mounted his horse, holding a spear and shield, jumped down the hillside, and launched a swift attack on the pagans, killing three enemy Ghazi warriors. The enemy was defeated across the board, and the stone fort was in our hands! Then Lord Bohemond led the army and personally pursued for a long distance, beheaded many pagans, and occupied the spring on the top of the mountain."

In Porto San Simeon, Gregor led the Gimages Brigade and also drove away the scattered pagan harassing soldiers and restored the smooth flow of the road;

The honorable Hugh also intercepted and killed a group of Turks who tried to leave the city in the sentry fort in the south of the city.
