Eagle Byzantium

"Brad!" Bohemond, who rushed back on horseback, shouted angrily with red eyes. He clamped his feet on the horse's belly and held an unparalleled sharp spear in one hand, stabbing through several Turks who came to challenge him one after another. people, the other Norman knights of the Holy Standard Guard, accompanied by Apulia who also turned around to fight. The Duke, Saint-Gilles and the Marquis of Provence fought hard with their spears and swords. The pilgrim infantry who had recovered their senses also used their bows and crossbows to resist the Turkic cavalry. They often shot down an enemy and fell from his horse. , will be chopped into pieces by another Turk who rushes towards him.

The long and narrow river valley passage is full of people and horses clashing. On the other side of the mountain, where Bohemond and Raymond cannot see, countless Turkic cavalry are lining up in tight formations and passing through. Plains and woodlands, advance towards the melee to assemble and fight The leader was none other than Adesonius, the chief emir warrior under Achish. He originally commanded the most elite of Achish's thousands of cavalry. He went out from the iron gate behind the city and advanced covertly in the mountains. He unexpectedly took a detour back to the iron gate. On the other side of the bridge, thousands of people gathered in the middle The natives of Antioch, most of whom were Saracens who hated the pilgrims, and the 2,000 cavalry reinforcements sent by the Turkic King of Aleppo, Dwan Ibn, Tutus, should have powerful tactics in dispatching troops. Adsonius, saw Achish on the tower After hoisting the eye-catching huge scarlet flag and lighting up the thick smoke to confuse the enemy, he commanded the cavalry to first sweep through the scattered camps of pilgrims on the plains on the east bank of the Orontes River, slaughtering hundreds of them, and then approached for a surprise attack. Bohemond and Raymond's team.

Adsonius, who jumped onto the ridge and overlooked the melee below, raised his hand. The slave soldiers beside him immediately blew the horn and waved the fang flag. After receiving the order, the other cavalrymen cut off the mountain and shallow areas like lightning. Passage at Sechu. General Orson's rear column was surrounded, and two hundred Genatean Greek cavalry were forced to retreat to the river, fighting hard against the water.

Arrow feathers were thrown like a blanket of sky, "Return, return, let them see the fighting skills of the Cilicia warriors." Orson and his brother Hallam held up their shields. While resisting the arrow clusters that came like water, they encouraged the Jinats around to form a formation and hold on.

Over there, at the Iron Bridge Estuary Fortress, Sir Burns, under Raymond's command, and five hundred Provençal people were originally stationed, but now they saw the lord being attacked. They all tried their best to break out from the fortress, but on the mountain road they were shot by Turks with rapid arrows from front to back and from left to right. They rushed in and out, leaving casualties and casualties. After half an hour, they were still exhausted, so they retreated to the fortress behind closed doors and defended themselves.

And here we are. Raymond was still fighting back and forth with his spear raised, while almost all the Provencals, Calabrians, Normans, and Cilicia Genats turned across the formation, with their backs to the river. They stretched out their swords and spears. Although they were seriously injured, they still persisted in fighting fiercely with the Turks who came in turns.

But Bohemond was shaken again. He pulled the newly baptized Turk Doyakum Bohemond, "You are familiar with the path here, you must take me and the guards out!"

"Please rest assured, Lord Marquis." New Bohemond rushed to the front of the team without saying a word. He was very familiar with the formations and flags of Yaghi Xiyang's army. He roared and charged at the weak points of the enemy's siege formation, and was guided by him. The knights of the guard beside Bohemond were also fully clothed. Charging with a spear, the Duke of Apulia followed closely under the rain of pagan arrows. He temporarily put aside his desire to avenge the tragic death of Brad, "For the great cause of the founding of the Normans, I will also Don't die recklessly." Like a wild goat struggling to escape the hunter, it jumped through the bushes and woods with great agility.

Whether the Norman Duke escaped from the tiger's mouth or not, let's put aside the writing for the time being. Amidst the thick smoke, Yaghisian stood upright on the tower, and a small black flag flew out: Under the Holy Spring Stone Castle, countless veiled people also poured out. Turkic soldiers in black turbans, they cut After killing all the defenders and pilgrims on both sides of the mountain wall, they carried bloody blades and heads, shouted the names of Allah and the Prophet, jumped in on a ladder, and had a melee with the defenders in the stone fortress. , among which there are many Asians and Americans in the fighting teams of both sides. The Niyas, they couldn't tell each other apart. They mixed together and chopped and fought with each other. Some of them directly dug out each other's eyes. "Allahu Akbar! Die to all Kafir!" while the crowd was fighting. Here, Pak Ade (bald head) was hit by a gun and stick More eye-catching), when he was bleeding and lying next to the inner wall, several Turks rushed towards him and raised their scimitars to chop him down. Paketad suddenly got his wits about him and hurriedly shouted this sentence in standard scripture, and then He kept shouting in fluent Turkic dialect, "I am one of our own."

The moment those people hesitated, Pacoad shouted, drew his saber and took the opportunity to kill one of them, and then thrust the blade deeply into the abdomen of the other guy who didn't react - Hercules, who came to save his father, He also got close and stabbed one in the back.

"How important it is to master several foreign languages ​​​​and religious beliefs. My son Hercules, ride out quickly and I will give you the mount." The bald man dropped the sharpened saber and picked up the long sword with a gasp. The iron rod started to dance, forcing the surrounding enemies back, and gave up the war horse to his son.

Hercules is also welcome. The stone castle is in danger today. If there is trouble, father and son cannot die here. Just look at this young Armenian warrior, covering his mouth and nose, moving up and down on the horse, and suddenly moving down to dodge. The flying arrows suddenly jumped up and galloped wildly. Under the enemy's hacking and fierce shooting, they galloped out of the stone castle in a short while, protruding from the mountain path with thick smoke, and headed towards the St. Paul's Gate.

"What, the stone castle hasn't fallen yet, it's all a cover-up of the pagans, and my uncle is also in danger ahead?" Tancred, who had already put on armor in the anti-rock camp in front of the city gate, looked at the smoke coming from his face. Hercules, who reported the news, hesitated, "Should I save my uncle now, or save the stone castle?"

"Of course it's to save His Excellency the Duke." Richard beside him said without thinking.

But on the other side, Estu Bolduca, who was also a mercenary and was riding on the horse, did not agree and asked to detach a force and let him go to rescue the stone castle, while Lord Tancred stayed behind. Be on guard inside, because a fierce battle may break out at St. Paul's Gate soon.

Everyone was shouting horses everywhere, but Tancred did not hesitate for long, "Richard followed me to gallop to rescue my uncle; Ostus and Heracles, with half the men and horses, went to rescue the stone castle." ”

At this moment, an envoy from the Admare camp shouted to Tancred, who was wearing a helmet, "The Holy Priest has asked you to stay in the defensive rock and not move at will. Iron. For the battle on the other side of the bridge, the priests will arrange for the Roman Empire’s troops to go to reinforce it, which is very close to Lord Bohemond’s team.”

"Who can expect an enemy with a blood feud in the past to save him?" Tancred did not believe it and did not buy it. Then he led all the elite infantry and cavalry out of the camp and ran towards the distant battle site. (To be continued ~^~)
