Eagle Byzantium

Gawain put down the knife in his hand and took the arrow. He saw that there was a small piece of cloth wrapped between the cluster and the shaft, "How did you get it?"

"It's the tower of the Four Sisters Tower closest to our palace area. The one that just shot into our outer garrison camp was discovered by the soldiers under the deputy herald officer." Muzafi Adin's tone was full of emotion. excited.

So Gawain hurriedly untied it, and there were only two lines of Greek written inside, "I am a soldier guarding the Emirate Tower in Rosellon, my name is Plagit, and I am willing to act as your internal agent."

With the sound of "Boom", Gawain slapped the table and stood up. "Let's go!" He immediately put on his cloak and walked out of the mansion under the escort of Muzaffy Adin and Dim. He didn't even have time to finish his dinner, so he came in a hurry. Arrive at the siege camp where you picked up arrows.

As night fell, a bonfire was lit in the camp, and the tower called Rosellenta (named after the Emir who was stationed inside) happened to be opposite the barracks of the second detachment of the Guardian Brigade. There were about ten dozen people in the camp. Soldiers put on arrow protection behind the Muzha earthen fort With his helmet on duty, Gawain arrived in front of the camp. After saluting each other with several flag officers, he dismounted. Under a tree, Wright was standing there. When he saw the Grand Duke approaching with an arrow, he understood. The ground pointed to the mark on the tree trunk, "The arrow was shot here."

Gawain was silent. Under the light of the torch, he felt the dent left by the arrow. He then looked at the top of the tower. Several torches were flickering on top. It seemed that someone was patrolling. , Gawain then squatted down, and the deputy heraldry officer, several flag officers and military servants also squatted down around the grand duke, "Would you like to fire one back to contact him?"

"No." Gawain thought thoughtfully and raised his hand to stop him. "It's too late. We don't know who the patrolling soldier above is. If we shoot back rashly..." Then , Gawain's eyes suddenly lit up, and a vicious plan was forming in his mind. Then he said to Wright, "Is there any crossbow machine brought from Seleucia?"

"Yes!" A flag officer quickly ran back to the camp and took out a long and narrow crossbow machine. He was carrying a shield for crossbowmen behind him and a bag containing crossbow arrows. "Take the broken pieces." Come out who cracked the wooden board." Gawain instructed, and Wright, who had received the order, was taking out pen and ink, and was writing furiously on several pieces of cloth under the light of a torch.

The flag officer nodded, lowered his head, and took out the broken wood crossbow arrows from the bag. These were the four types of crossbow arrows set up by Little Sunfish Agnes according to the needs of the battlefield, and were used to shoot split wood. is one of them: this crossbow , the tail end is bald, but there are rounded fins at the rear. The arrow cluster is different from the type of anti-personnel type. It is a triangle with the tip facing inward and the flat bottom line facing outward. It can be wedged deeply into the enemy's wooden frame to prevent arrows, and the arrow cluster is different from the anti-personnel type. to the destructive effect.

"Wright, follow us." Gawain half-knelt under the shade of the tree, stretched out his hand, and the flag officer tied the crossbow arrow to the cloth, lifted the crossbow machine, and climbed over the earth barrier quietly and swiftly. Wright also strengthened. Courageous, holding up a shield and wearing The sword followed closely behind them - the two of them followed the bushes and the roots of the tower walls, and carefully touched the tower protruding from the front of the Four Sisters Tower, which is the "Sansadoni Asta", Achish's The eldest son guarded it personally.

At this time, Wright and the flag officer raised their heads. The bonfire on the tower illuminated the surrounding masonry patterns, and the coughs and chatter of the guard soldiers could be heard from above. The Turks had previously killed Adrobel. The place with Beatrice was now directly above Wright's head. Accompanied by the night owl's shrill screams from time to time, Wright's face covered in the helmet was numb with nervousness, but he always cheered himself up in his heart, "Don't be afraid of Wright, is this better than the time you spent in Sicily and interacted with all the distinguished women?" Is it still dangerous for someone to have an affair?" Then he heard the footsteps of the patrol, and after they sounded again at the top of the city, Wright gestured to the flag officer.

The flag officer crouched, half stood up, stepped on the front end of the crossbow (which was obviously much more powerful than the hand crossbow originally used by the Benevento people) with one foot, and then held the rear handle with both hands. , Kara pulls back with the bow string lying horizontally, Then fixed it with the trigger. Wright loaded the crossbow arrow tied with cloth beside him, and then used the screw to adjust the tightness to the best. Then the flag officer lifted the crossbow and attached it to the root of the wall, protruding upward. wooden boards at the bottom of the fence.

There was a clatter, and two small movable boards suddenly hung down from the bottom of the fence. Both Wright and the flag officer were stunned. Then Wright saw, in the night, two bright white buttocks filling it, "X! It turns out that this group of Turks happened to be standing there A convenient place." Wright cursed, and then thought that when he was setting the arrow on the crossbow, his arm was bent on the ground, which was a little slippery. Then he lifted it up and almost didn't get knocked over. It turned out that There's a big lump stuck on!

"Shhhhhhh." Wright gestured hurriedly to the flag officer who was holding the crossbow, telling him not to shoot in a hurry. The flag officer also calmly did not pull the long hook at the right time. Then the two of them looked up, and there was a loud bang from the buttocks. With a loud noise, he spat out something that looked like German black bread with sausage. Stacks of them fell down and fell between the two lurking people. Wright remained motionless, waiting for them to drop completely before nodding.

The flag officer took up the shooting position again, pointed the crossbow upwards, and in half a second, he pulled down the long hook very neatly. With a click, the crossbow arrow flew straight up with a whistling sound. The wooden boards of the fence made a dull sound of being hit, and then the heart-wrenching sound exploded in the night sky. The flag officer hurriedly hung the crossbow behind him and ran towards his own camp with Wright. Arrows shot down from behind, people shouted, and the sound of piercing leaves continued...

Soon, a man's left hand and hip were twisted together, and he was shot through by a crossbow arrow. The wounded soldier who was hooked, groaning non-stop, was carried to the surprised Sansadonias, "What happened to him?"

"He was untying his hands on the fence, and was about to clean them with his left hand when he was shot by a crossbow arrow shot by the enemy." The words of the leader Gazi made Sansadonias simply unable to believe his ears, but this was not the end. Gazi hesitated and handed a piece of cloth that was terribly stained with blood and incense to Sansadonias. The other party resisted the dizziness of vomiting and asked what was written in it.

"What? There is an enemy spy in the Acropolis?" In the main tower, Yagi heard the news and shook his beard angrily at his son who was holding a piece of cloth in his left hand. "It must be the work of your captured and defected standard-bearer. He chose his own life instead of my life and the lives of all the residents of Antioch." Then, Yagi laughed again, "However, this piece of cloth does not mention the name and position of the spy. We can pretend that we know nothing and let the enemy fall into the trap."
