As a result, when the Mosul Pnot army failed in its attack on the corner walls of the camp, and on the way back, Robert, Count of Flanders, suddenly rushed out of the ambush at the mouth of the Chengma Iron Bridge with dozens of knights, slaughtered and slaughtered, killed more than 100 Turks, and captured more than a dozen artillery men and craftsmen from Persia.

When the sun had sunset, Amasa's second concentrated assault on Gawain's fortifications was again defeated, and the brave general was so angry that he summoned the Persians' engineering director and chief gunner, beat them with a leather whip, and then gasped and said, "All the soldiers have returned to their respective camps, and brought food from the city of Ata, and we will rest for a day until the lord's army has captured the fortress at the mouth of the river." ”

Obviously, Amasa had no way to deal with the strange and obscene camp in front of him, and the damage was quite large, so he had to "brake quietly".

After nightfall, Gawain ordered a day's worth of food, along with some wine and meat that he had painstakingly bought, to be distributed to the soldiers of the Gimagith Brigade, who had done a good job in defending the war today. When the trumpet sounded, the soldiers began to eat, and although they could not speak, as required by the military order, they had to finish their hard-won meal before the second trumpet sounded, but some of them were the first to sing a song of praise to God.

Then two or five soldiers began to echo, and at last all the soldiers began to sing, while the Crescent laborers who had been encircled in the wooden fence of the other camp were no longer in the mood to chant and pray, and they knew that the ranks of the believers had been defeated again, and they were silent as if they had lost their food, and they had lost their fanaticism.

Gawain stood in the tower of the gate, listened quietly, and then whispered to Gregor, "You have to be in command of tomorrow's battle, and you don't have to say too much to the soldiers of the Gimagis brigade, just explain my plan to your officers, and if you ask the soldiers to take swords and kill people on the battlefield, they will always obey orders." As for the fifteen hundred released Crescent Believers, Hetomia has already taken care of the roster for me, and when the time comes, you can just follow the above orders. ”

"Obey the Grand Duke, will tonight's battle happen?" Gregor asked with concern after receiving the long roster from the Orson girl.

"It didn't happen to Kobuha on the other side of the river, but if he attacked, he would inevitably lose badly in front of Giovanni." Gawain smiled, looked at the bloody sunset on the Orontes River, and said to the flocks of water birds flying by, and then he raised his finger, pinched the collar of the cloak, and silently muttered the same words to himself three times, like a prayer, "I, Gawain, will not fail in the face of the Turks, starting from the first time I killed that slave knight in the woods in the wind and snow, this is the favor of the gods or demons for me." As long as the city of Antioch gives me three more days of food support, as long as this is enough, as long as this is enough! ”

At this moment, Muzafiadin hurriedly climbed up the stairs, wiped the sweat from his forehead and cheeks, and then looked at Hetomia, and handed her an urgent paperwork, "Sent by Lord Siburg Godfrey, he said that there is a very important matter, and you must drive your horse to see it yourself. ”

Gawain turned his head, frowning slightly

Between the West Fort and the Orontes camp, there was a shortcut controlled by the Pilgrims, and Gawain rode Quicksilver and galloped to the position of the West Fort with a small number of horses.

About three gi's miles from the West Fort stood on the hillside of a simple outpost fort erected during the previous siege, Godfrey stood on a hillside with several counts, with a pale face.

On the twilight grass, Gawain walked up, saluted each other, and then pointed to the small fort in front of him made of wooden fences and dirt, "What happened?" ”

"I must say that this is my culption, and this outpost has always been guarded by a Norman knight of Apulian origin, who is a subordinate of Tancred, named Amandr, who is here with twelve sergeants and a few servants to monitor the movements of the Turks." Godfrey's words seemed to be unfavorable because of something, "According to the pre-planned plan, I should have taken on the supply of food for them, but the settlement of this matter was forgotten before Bohemond moved the defense. ”

This is also very normal, after all, a small sentry fort, Godfrey and Bohemond are commanders who are in charge of everything, and it is very normal to forget, "But the knight of Amanjo is very conscientious, too conscientious, and he is still here without knowing it." He believes that the Turks could attack from the port of Saint-Simon at any time, so it is necessary to play the role of surveillance"

Gawain seemed to understand something, and he wanted to stop Godfrey from continuing, but the Duke of Lower Lorraine still said half-way, "To this day, the women and children of the Crescent Cult in the city, when they came to the pasture outside the West Fort to collect plant tubers, returned to the camp at the end of the camp, and found that there were a few missing, and then an escaped slave came to tell me that something had happened."

"Alright, no more talk." Gawain flatly rejected Godfrey's idea of further elaboration, and then the duke's fingers trembled, and he clutched the bridge of his nose in a little pain, and the counts around him were also solemn, and Gawain then led a few guards and warriors into the narrow field of the sentry fort, which was a clearing cleared by weeds, and beside it was a simple stable built with wooden frames.

But there were no horses in it, and they had already been tied up and killed by Amanjo.

As for the knight, the rest of the sergeants had been bound up by Godfrey's men's uniforms, and they were all pressed against the earthen walls of the courtyard, their heads bowed, and their expressions and faces could not be seen.

Then, the guards warriors behind Gawain actually vomited one after another.

For Gawain had also seen that the courtyard was filled with strange-smelling smoke, and in the black embers of a pile of burning firewood, two swords were each inserted into the head of a burnt person, which looked to be that of a child.

Gao Wen pursed his mouth, turned around and saw that on the wall connected to the sentry fort and the stable, there were still two stripped of clothes and **** women's bodies hanging upside down, and the blood was still dripping.

It seems that the whereabouts of the missing person are already known.

"The situation in the city has also reached this point?" Gawain was more determined than Godfrey, and did not forget to ask about such things.

"Doctors from Saracen have been hired to kidnap Crescent women and children by force, strangle them first, and then have them cut and clean the bodies with precision knives and make them into dried meat for the soldiers to eat. They say it's a clean way to eat. A confidential officer next to Godfrey whispered. (To be continued.) )
