Eagle Byzantium

When Severn's body was thrown in front of the Scarlet tent bonfire, Gawain, leaning on his sword, and all the generals stood there watching and identifying. Then the Grand Duke looked at the east gate amidst the crazy noise. Soon two The soldiers dragged the fortress who was so weak and frightened that he could no longer move forward through the siege camp and came to him.

"Were you driven out by Severn Kallegos?" Gawain said to the man, "To be honest, are there any people worthy of fighting in Alamein Fortress now?"

"Food, food..." the man said feebly, "Kalegos deceived everyone before. They said there was three months' worth of food in the cellar, but now it is estimated to be seriously insufficient, so they can only drive away We are here to save rations and supply them to the soldiers." After that, Gawain waved his hand, and the man was led by the soldiers. He went there for treatment. The bright moon shone around Gawain. He took two steps forward and then turned back. "We used trenches and long sieges to starve all the soldiers and residents in the fort to death, and then captured it without bloodshed." This fortress; or should we take advantage of the fact that Severn is dead and the castle defenders are in chaos to launch a general attack on the fortress and capture it? "

Then the Grand Duke turned sideways, and his cloak slipped down, covering his arm holding the sword. Under the moonlight, his eyebrows showed hesitation and uneasiness. After all, although the former's plan could minimize the casualties of the army, but In the end, the consumption of materials and morale of the besieging party, and the catastrophe caused to the besieged party, were really too terrifying. Especially now, Kallegos has begun to drive away the residents of the city - if Gawain's soldiers guard the trenches and shoot them, it will undoubtedly be notorious; but if they accept them like tonight, then the guards in the fortress will The reduction in the number of people eating food and the longer resistance means that there may be variables in the war situation...

What's more, it would be too miserable and cruel for them all to starve to death.

At this moment, Cabeamiya stepped forward, held Gawain's arm, and reminded in a low voice, "It is better to formulate a general attack plan like a small city, and then let the soldiers attack at once. I believe there are equipped cavalry and The soldiers of Gemage fought hard, Gawain, you can do this." Gawain looked up at the Holy Sister tenderly, then shook her hand under the cloak, and then turned his gaze to himself. of Giovanni.

"Grand Duke, I have chosen two places to break through the city wall, one is the break between the walls, and the other is the east gate. Tomorrow, we will focus on shooting with large and small stone-shooting machines, and let the infantry fill in the two trenches first. A wooden bridge was laid for the passage of cavalry and equipment. Then General Gregor led a team to attack the wall, and I personally led another team to attack the east gate in conjunction with Lord Walter's mounted cavalry." Giovanni seemed to say. I have been considering this plan for a long time.

"Little Sunfish, I'll leave it to you to launch the Plani Cannon tomorrow. Kallegos will be a stepping stone to your glory, but I don't want all the people in the fortress to be destroyed, otherwise Seleucia will gain nothing from this battle. It will be a big discount." Gawain turned around and said to the standing gray-haired girl, and Agnes nodded in agreement.

"Then don't hesitate. Within the first hour after the sun rises tomorrow, let the roar of the big Plani cannon provide real sorrow for the funeral of the Kallegos family." Under the bright moonlight, Gawain will He stretched his finger towards the sparkling Alamein Fort and ordered loudly, "The enemy chief has been captured and killed by our army in despair. In order to prevent more people from dying, we must attack the enemy fortress in one go tomorrow!" "

The next day, when the sun shone on the field outside the city, Severn's head was chopped off and raised on the flagpole at the east gate where everyone could see. Surrounding the head were four Hundreds of Pauline believers wearing black cloaks and holding various bows and crossbows. Cabernetia revealed her golden prosthetic hands under the cloak, and her black braids hung down on her shoulders, cheering and cheering. In the waves, she stared at the east gate city wall that had been blasted to pieces; behind her on the two wings and on the left were two companies of red-handed cavalry. More than a thousand people were divided into several battle lines, all complaining to each other in low voices. Why not let them serve as the vanguard, but give this group of armored cavalry this glorious combat mission? "Are they really the biological sons of the purple princess?"

On the right side of the flagpole and Cabea Amiya were seven hundred Genate cavalry. Under the leading flag was naturally General Monomachus. He looked at the bloody head hanging on the flagpole with some melancholy, and then looked at Looking at the outline of Alamein Fortress, I whispered in my heart, "Farewell, farewell once and for all, Kallegos."

Following this thought, behind Monomachus, the long arm of the Great Plani Cannon swung up and down with a strange whistling sound of stone bullets coming out of its pocket. The stone bullets it shot were definitely not from the top of the city. As much as the hanging leather and linen curtains could withstand, "the target is concentrated at the east gate." Beside the up and down swinging artillery cart, Agnes on the mule had a clear and loud voice. Gawain was sitting on the grass not far from her, with his cross He stood with his waist bent, overlooking the entire offensive situation.

Round after round of stone bullets hit the city gate, gate tower and surrounding city walls of the east gate. Rubbles flew everywhere, screams came one after another, and among the smoke and dust, the fortresses lined up beside the trenches were ready to attack. The Lucian cavalry, as the stone bullets passed and bombarded, all responded to the shouts, mixed with the sound of trumpets and horns, making the defenders at the top of the city feel even deeper despair. Finally, with shouts like waves, a fatal collapse occurred at the corner of the east gate tower. The falling bricks and stones piled up. After the smoke and dust dissipated, a climbing attack channel was formed, which was revealed in all Jimai. In front of the Gith soldiers.

At this moment, Agnes raised a stop gesture, and then several gunners ran to her side, waving flags at the artillery array. Looking back, Cabeamia immediately stretched out her golden hand, "All archers, shoot at the top of the city!" As soon as the female consul finished speaking, 400 Paulist archers shouted in groups, approached the trench, and took turns to draw bows at the top of the city. Over and over again, the fierce rain of arrows pressed the remaining guards on the top of the city to unable to raise their heads.

Amid the sound of trumpets, several Jimegis infantrymen used a capstan to creak and slowly put the previously built suspension bridge across the trench. "Prepare to attack, prepare to attack, put on your helmets, hold up your shields, and show the courage and bravery you showed when you attacked the town. Once you reach the foot of the town, climb up one by one, and don't crowd the team."

"Swear by the glory of the Silver Spike Battle Flag!" After their flag officers shouted out precautions, the Jimegis soldiers, who had already lined up, all crossed their shields across their chests, holding scimitars and battle axes for hand-to-hand combat. At this moment, they suddenly felt a whirlwind of dust blowing up from behind:

A monster with armor plates all over his chest, shoulders, head and neck, riding on a warhorse covered with armor, holding a four-foot-long nail hammer, the bells hanging on the warhorse's chicken neck armor rose and fell, and the feathers on the warhorse's face curtain trembled as it galloped. This guy drove his horse across the camp that the Jimegis soldiers had already formed, and his horse's hoof was the first to step on the suspension bridge, and then he trotted straight towards the collapsed city gate!
