Chapter 72: The Truth?

Soon, in the bushes under the Mausoleum of St. Basil, arrows were also shot continuously, weaving a "web of arrows" that crossed and put everyone in the middle. Then, from among the bushes, out of the bushes rushed out the soldiers, armed with spears and swords, dressed in scarlet robes and Turkic armor, and shouted, "We are the guards of the noble Roman Emperor, and we have come to kill the rebel Stephen. Gawain! ”

Sabina gasped, constantly dodging the arrows from the left and right, and neighed, presumably to remind her master to bow down, and Gawain was also very shrewd, turning the horse's head and running back, and the soldiers in ambush on both sides, on one side on the embankment and the other among the bushes, shouted that they were the Roman army, and on the other they were the emperor's janissaries.

"What bastard bullshit!" Theognes roared among the arrows, pointing at the group of "Imperial Praetorian Guards" who came out with crossbows, and shouted, "How could His Majesty's Praetorian soldiers have such weapons? As soon as he had finished speaking, the commander of the captor had a featherless bolt in his neck, and he got up and fell down screaming, and Diognis was an old soldier, and rolled on the ground a few times, and then pulled out the bolt from the neck of the dead horse, dragged the flail, and ran to Brenus, who was in terror in the spot, "Whip and stand back, Lord Penipastos!" ”

At this moment, the arrows continued to pass by in the wind and snow and the only remaining sunlight, and Gawain and Brenus's men, all on horseback, turned around, hurriedly discarding the formation and order, and treading the mud and shallow water, splashing red droplets, to escape from this place. But the Cuman cavalry, Brenus's guard, the hooves of the horses were constantly sinking in, one by one on their backs. He was shot by an arrow and died, and his condition was extremely critical.

And Gawain's cavalry. It was like walking on the ground, and quickly jumped out of the predicament of low-lying land. The Grand Duke was the first to rush out, and then he saw a scuffle behind him, most of the mounts of Brenus and the others were shot and wounded, and the ambush soldiers on both sides, all armed with weapons, as well as iron nets and hooks, rushed over to hunt and kill him, so he shouted to Bramson beside him, "You go and summon reinforcements." Then he said to Melo and Andreev. You and others are here to watch the battle formation, and to guard against the enemy's back. Then he shouted to Muzafi Adin and Birel, and rushed back with him to rescue His Excellency Peni Passer Bastos, "There is no way, we can only rely on us." ”

Of course, the rope in Gawain's hand was still holding the second glory of the empire who was frightened to the color of the earth, Isaac. Sebastoclat. Handcuffs of H.E. Komnenos. The horn had just been pulled by Gawain, and he was glad to escape from the sudden slaughter, but in the blink of an eye the horse neighed—Isaac jerked on his horse's back, and his cloak fell. Gawain pulled his hands back on, rode his galloping horse, and returned to the low-lying ground.

"Archduke. What are you doing! Isaac's ears filled with the whirring of wind and the sound of arrows breaking through the air. Shouted in horror.

"This is the most glorious Sebastoclat in the whole empire, the emperor's forbidden soldiers. If you're going to shoot him, come to my Gawain's side!" Gawain possessed him, shouting such words, holding a shield in one hand and leading Isaac, who was sitting on a horse behind him with a rope in the other, re-entered the low-lying ground, and ran towards the "forbidden army" that had arrived on the other side of the bushes.

But as if they didn't understand at all, the forbidden soldiers raised their crossbows one after another, and shot at Isaac with a slash in the face.

The "ambushers" on the embankment over there also turned a deaf ear, continued to pull their bows and arrows, and cursed loudly, constantly shooting intensively at Gawain's returning men and horses.

As a result, several of Gawain's guards and heavy-armored warriors, holding shields, took the opportunity to infiltrate the embankment, took the opportunity to climb the embankment with spears and battle axes, and attacked it, slashing and killing several "ambushers" one after another, and the rest of them wailed, and rolled down the embankment, some escaped into the deep grass and snow, and some fell into the moat and drowned.

The "forbidden soldiers" who were killed on the side of the bushes, seeing Gawain's cavalry attacking from several directions, also rolled and climbed, took up crossbows and shields, and fled in the direction of the Huangling Valley, but the last two who walked slowly, and Muzafiadin Adin, who was chased on horseback, ended up with bows and arrows and sabers, and failed to catch the mouth. Subsequently, the bodies of the two "forbidden soldiers" and several "ambushers on the embankment" were dragged in front of Gawain and Brenus.

"There is no scarlet robe from the emperor, no tattoos and bronze medals, this is not a Tekobo at all." Diognes and Tetisius knelt before the corpse of the "forbidden soldier" and said, and then Diognes tore an iron pendant from the neck of one of them, "It is the cross of the Catholic Church, and it is written in Latin." ”

Over there, Muzafi Adin and Biller were also examining the corpses, and after peeling off the leather armor outside, they also saw ornaments inscribed in Latin.

Then, Isaac, whose hair was shaggy and disheveled, was stunned, and not only him, but everyone present was stunned.

Suddenly, there was a soft "buzz" sound, and the blade of the Sword of Phosphorus Fire fell on Brenus's neck without knowing it, "Don't move", it was Gawain's calm and threatening voice, so Brenus was immediately frightened and couldn't move.

Then Muzafiadin al-Din also jumped up and jumped behind Isaac, and quickly pulled out the Turkic scimitar and axe, which also caught Sebastoprat's neck. At this moment, the guard saw this and exclaimed--it turned out that the emperor's brother was also in the other party's hands.

"Gawain, what are you doing!" Theognes got up and grasped the flail, but soon Billel rushed forward and held his flail against it with an iron shackle, "Don't go near the priesthood. The sound of the metal heads rubbing against each other, the rattling of bells—the catcher shook the flail and was forced to take two steps back, but still angry, "Now it is clear that it is the Normans, pretending to be His Majesty's archers of the Emperor, who have come to ambush you and attempt to blame the Brachna Palace. Then Theognes raised the bolt that had killed his horse, "This form of weapon is not at all owned by the Roman army. ”

"Do you think I'm a toddler? Diognis. Gawain didn't pay any attention to this rhetoric, his head hidden behind Brenus, very careful to avoid the rays of the Cuman cavalry over there, "Then how do you explain this group of pretending 'forbidden soldiers', who sent them to ambush me on the high embankment?" To put it bluntly, Emperor Komnenos, like the Norman bandits, is not a good thing, both hope to kill me and blame each other, and both sides are equally despicable. ”

"Calm down, Gawain," the sweat from Diognis' forehead dripped down, "you should know that this matter has absolutely nothing to do with Lord Brenus. ”

"It has nothing to do with me, I've always been in the Dalian camp." Over there, Isaac also explained with a crying voice. (To be continued.) )
