readx;?“ This is not in the way, it is a big deal to imprison you, anyway, the Greek emperor will attack Cilicia in a big way, and the destruction of the isolated Gawain will be imminent. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info When the Emperor destroys Tarsus, we will sacrifice you to him, and finally you can enter the Colosseum naked with Gawain on a leash, where you will be criticized and destroyed by thousands of Constantinople hooligans, and the Emperor will probably ask you two to ride donkeys with thorny saddles, and then you will have to enjoy such ecstasy. Parkard smiled sadly, his bald head glittering in the sunlight.

If ordinary people heard this, they would be completely paralyzed.

But what a man Bohemond is, he is an out-and-out hero, it is not the first time that he has suffered such a fiasco and frustration in his life, he has seen a lot of winds and waves, and he has also experienced a hundred battles: after a quick and short mental calculation, he learned that Emperor Komnenos must be the mastermind behind the scenes, and he will inevitably take revenge on this guy in the future, but for the time being, it is still delayed and his life is the best.

"I ask for the treatment of the nobles, you can imprison me, but I must be allowed the freedom to raise ransom, and I can enjoy normal meals, and my wounded men should be properly cared for. If you change your mind after a while, you can make an offer, but after the ransom is paid, you must keep the sacred contract and restore my freedom. Bohemond, who was tied behind his back, carried his head and said eloquently.

Bohemond was then taken to the Marashburg dungeons and imprisoned.

Of his 20,000 troops, less than a fifth returned to Antioch, most of them were taken prisoner, and about 10,000 of them were sold into slavery for Merrick, which was the tragic fate of Bohemond's expedition to Marash.

After listening to the description, Gawain's sweat was dripping, and he had a rare panicked posture, unconsciously rubbing his mustache with his hands, turning his back to the Baldwins, and not saying half a word for a long time.

In the end, Baldwin was in a hurry, and just as he was about to speak, he was held by his wife--Gothheard winked and quickly shook his head, meaning to wait for Gawain to think about it.

After a full moment, Gawain didn't come up with anything, after all, the more anxious he was, the more his mind went blank, he stared back, and the next question he asked was, "What about my brigade of the Gemagis brigade?" ”

Gregor's brigade arrived in Issus three days later, suffering considerable losses, abandoning almost all the baggage and pack animals, nearly half of the casualties, three companies were completely wiped out during the retreat, and a detachment of battle flags and dozens of handguns were captured by Saliki.

But compared to Bohemond, it is lucky, after all, the main force and the establishment still exist.

Gawain immediately sent Earl Merlot to the other side, bringing money and food to comfort the soldiers.

When Merlot arrived, many of the soldiers of G. Maggis wept loudly.

Gawain, who heard the news in Castabara, also wept, and said angrily to Baldwin and his wife: "The Red Hand Brigade is in Sebastian, and the Guardian Brigade is in Vanka. Now, since the Emperor did not come at once, I will take command of the main forces of these two brigades and go to Marlash to kill all the Ani mongrels and avenge the disgrace suffered by the Gimagith brigade! ”

Baldwin was so calm that he hurriedly stopped Gawain, "This would be no different from the mistake Bohemond made." What we should do is to wait and see the situation, try to rescue Bohemond diplomatically, and ask my brother for help. ”

Gawain frowned, looked at Baldwin, who nodded at him, and came back to his senses, "That's right, if I had been impulsive, I would have let the situation continue to deteriorate." ”

So Gawain, who had calmed down, immediately asked Mellot to select 500 militias in Sith County, reorganize them into the ranks of the Gemagis Brigade, and let them go to the camp in Zephelim City to rest to recover their fighting spirit and vitality. Then Gawain sent an urgent letter to Wright, "Now that the clothes and armor of the Gemmageis Brigade are damaged, you can organize the surplus manpower in the local area, regardless of children or women or old people, all strive to weave chain mail, give a piece of honorarium, and quickly replenish it to the Gemaggis's Brigade." ”

After all this was done, Gawain instructed Branas in Vanka City, "Assemble your brigade and border cavalry, or divide them into five teams, three out and two behind, and take turns attacking the northern territory of Marash; In addition, I ordered the Red Hand Brigade to go to Melitene to deter Fell, and to force them to keep Bohemond safe and release him as soon as possible. ”

Two weeks later, Gawain's measures paid off: many Armenian nobles in Marash began to spread the word that they intended to release Bohemond, but demanded an extremely high ransom.

It turned out that after the father and son of Fell and Parkard captured Bohemond, Merrick was paid 10,000 prisoners of war, and went to Erzurum in triumph, preparing to make a comeback and regain his own plateau from Gawain and Theodoro; Ostu, on the other hand, received all the heavy supplies of Bohemond and 2,500 prisoners of war, and also triumphantly made his way to Aleppo - meanwhile, Ridwan, Dukaq, and Kobha of Mosul, through the mediation of a mysterious Crescent elder, decided to overcome their estrangement and enmity, and they met on a border in the Azadze region, where they swore to form the "Great Seljuk Alliance" and vowed to expel all pilgrims from the East. Then, Dukaq mobilized 10,000 horses, set out from Damascus, contacted the cities of Tripoli, Tyre, and Sidon, and besieged the two castles of Jubail and Beirut in Gawen, and the local garrison was only 3,000 border soldiers; Ridwan invited Kobha to form an army of 30,000 men and attack Antioch fiercely.

In the entire Levant region, there was a sudden trend of the Crescent Sect riding again.

But at this moment, Fell and the others suddenly found that their side had nothing else to do except guard the captive of Bohemond, and there was nothing else to do, and there was nothing to attack the direction and capital. Because the money looted and extorted by the kidnappers was distributed to the mercenaries after the war, nearly one-third of the soldiers dispersed in a hurry, some returned to their hometowns, and some returned to the Armenian highland tribes, Marashburg was short of money again, and Gawain's brigade came to take turns to engage in scorched earth tactics, and the Archon Fair, who was a little anxious, gathered everyone and asked if they wanted to exchange Bohemond for ransom.

Most of the nobles had no objection, because this Bohemond was really annoying in the dungeon: he first shared a large prison with Billleoni and other merchants, and then only two weeks in prison, and the red-bearded bastard "divided" fourteen barons, five counts, and one "Generalissimo of Latakia" in prison, all of whom were cellmates, and finally the glorious title was given to Billleoni, and Bohemond also signed an IOU with them for a full 140,000 Byzantit gold coins, and signed and postponed. The group launched four prison escape riots, the most intense of which resulted in the death of three "new barons of Antioch" and an earl. After the revolt was suppressed, Bohemond was transferred to a fortress called Nick Hill deep in the mountains to continue his captivity, and the prisoners of the Marash dungeon, where the leader had been lost, went on a hunger strike.

"I am afraid that it is the best thing to deal with this bastard for a considerable ransom." Most of the nobles said bitterly. (To be continued)).
