The Roma soldiers, including Maimun and Toulon, who watched the crowd rushing out and felt the shaking of the wall beneath their feet, shouted, "The wall is going to collapse!" ”

Then, in the camp of the Dalian team, Agnes, who proudly watched the "toad" also burning, and the city wall collapsed in three sections almost at the same time, a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "Toad...... Agnes. Prani's first and most proud work in his life. ”

"How Agnes? Sometimes it's a blessing to make a masterpiece and see it work, isn't it? Gawain, who was standing beside her, holding the hilt of his sword, was also watching the collapse of several sections of the Xinmen wall, and said to her.

"Hmph, this is just Prani's first cry."

The broken and tumbling bricks and stones happened to fall down the burned "toad", and all the flames on its body were crushed, so that the venerable "toad" played its last glory and role after being destroyed, forming a gap slope that can go straight to the city.

Soon, thousands of besieging soldiers and servants gathered around this gap, quietly standing behind the makeshift wall, waiting for the order to attack.

However, at this moment, the sun had set, and the day-long slaughter had come to an end around the city.

"Light the torch." However, under Gawain's order, the Dalian team did not have the slightest idea of rest and fatigue, he and Tetisius decided to change the troops in turn, and pushed the "porcupine" archery and stone shooter behind the blockade wall, monitoring the ramp gap formed by the combination of the "toad" and the broken wall, once there was a figure trying to fill it. If there is less, the crossbow machine will be shot, and if there is more, the "porcupine" archery will be used to greet the past.

"Don't skimp on arrows and throwing guns. It doesn't matter if you're done this time, you'll be able to get it back sooner or later. ”

There was chaos in the Sultan's palace. Disheartened, Mai Meng gathered all the generals together, and his voice choked, "Ladies and gentlemen, the time has come for the entire capital of the great Romani country to face a choice of orders. There are many gaps in the north and east sides of the current wall, and the enemy is desperately blockading, and we can't transport stones to fill the ......."

"Now is the time to kill the Sultan's wife and children so that they do not fall into the hands of the infidels?" Toulon gripped the hilt. Asked.

"What nonsense are you talking about, bastard, we still have a way out of the city now."

"Watergate?" Hajib said, and then he reminded uneasily, "But the enemy's fleet has come down from the sky and blocked it. ”

"There are still some ships in the city that can fight, and under your organization, Hajib, you are trying to break through the interception of the enemy fleet. There are also not many of them. Rush out. In this way, as long as the Sultan did not let his wife fall into the hands of the infidels, he could continue to organize his army after retreating to Konya. Fearlessly, continue to fight against the infidels. "Ibn. Maimon was clearly well thought out.

But apparently Shah Nami was very reluctant, when she and her two children were forced out by the samurai again. kept scolding the vizier for misleading her: not letting her leave when the previous wall was not broken; The situation is now at stake. He also put himself and the Sultan's children in danger if the ship was intercepted or sunk. This kingdom of Romani is truly the equivalent of destruction.

Hajib and a group of soldiers stood on the steps, and then stuffed a small rowboat into the Sultan's wife and children at the water gate, and Hajib himself took six Greek-style light boats, lined up, and rowed away from the pilgrims' water camp on the east side, in the light of the flames of the towers of the wall, toward the southeast side of Lake Nicaea, where there was also Giliki. A sentry post left behind by Arslan, lit a bonfire all day long, has long been set up with the city.

However, this sentry has long been included in the vision of the Dalian team.

The hapless Hajib, at the beginning of his march, was discovered by the water battalion of Dalian Andreev and Samuelfa - beforehand, Samuelfa had made four abandoned but still floating boats into a moving watchtower on the lake, which could be moved by paddles and ropes, and could send out a beacon fire that could give warnings, and could also command battles on it.

In the black night and on the water, the flames on the four floating watchtowers were ignited one after another, and more than a dozen Panfilian warships and Slavic ships, rowing rapidly, intercepted the fleet of Hajib horizontally, and the flames rolled over the water, and after a short but unsuspenseful battle, all six ships of the Turks were destroyed.

Hajib, who was in a panic, took off his armor and jumped into the water, swimming and climbing onto the shore, only to be caught by the "pilgrimage armed group" that rushed to hear the news.

The helmsman and the captain of the dinghy who followed behind hurriedly turned the bow of the boat and fled in the direction of the Nicaea Gate, screaming in the cabin with her children and maids.

On the other side, after the clean and neat results of the Hajib fleet, the Byzantine Roman warships chased after the dinghy.

In a panic, the crew of the boat saw that three Byzantine ships were interspersed in front of the water gate, and they simply fled towards the western part of the lake.

About half an hour later, the dinghy also ran aground on the shore, but several Calabrian soldiers, who were acting as secret guards, surrounded and arrested Shahnamy and Surelman's son and daughter. Because here, it was a Norman camp.

When the identity of the three captives was revealed, Bohemond, who was sitting in the tent "receiving" him, trembled with excitement, and hurriedly comforted Shahnamy and said, "Rest assured, noble lady, I will never hurt you or even disrespect you and the heirs of the same noble sultan." You must know that our noble Apulian warriors are the most revered noblewomen. Now, however, what we need is to take the city of Nicaea, so that you can act as an intermediary in the negotiation of peace—as long as the gates of Constantine Tim of Nicaea are opened to our legions and surrender, you and these lovely children, I, Bohemond, will never hand them over to the Emperor of Greece, but will safely return you to your husband. ”

At the same time, he rushed to the scarlet tent to interrogate Hajib's Gawain, and was very surprised to see him, "It turned out to be you!" However, the city of Nicaea is trying its best this night, and it is not going to send you to Surelman, and frankly, who are the important people in the sunken ship? ”

"There was a dinghy with no fire or flag, and it contained the Sultan's wife, and children, and the vizier ordered us to break through in the hope of getting her into the Sultan's hands." Wet and half-frozen, Artalberg was blunt.

Everyone, including Gawain, Anna, and Tetisius, were shaken, and Gawain summoned the crew of the water battle, and the reply was, "The dinghy didn't return to the water gate, and fled straight to the west of the lake." ”

"Don't think about it, if the Sultan's wife doesn't die, it should fall into the hands of Bohemond!" Gawain sighed at the judgment. (To be continued.) )

PS: It's really over, because the blowing stops, you can also row!
