The ensuing scene can be described as the collapse of the ground, with countless turbaned women in the ruins of the fortress standing up, some pulling their children and carrying huge amounts of dust, rushing down the hill, and some recalcitrant men and imams tried to stop them, and even drew daggers and angrily scolded the women for tarnishing the reputation of the Crescentists, and several weak women were stabbed to death instantly. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

But even so, it was impossible to stop the surging pace of women and children, and soon in front of the Branass horses who were supervising the battle in the array, there were Crescent women and children on their knees, and the German Guards soldiers with long swords were on guard all around, and soon several women grabbed one of them and started fighting, and knocked him down in front of Branas's eyes, the one who was wearing a woman's robe, but let out a rough howl, it turned out to be a Crescent man in disguise. The guards then retrieved a dagger from his bosom, apparently intending to assassinate General Branas.

Several German soldiers choked the cursing woman by the hair, and then, with his own daggers, slowly sliced his throat in public, making flesh and bones creaking like slaughtering a sheep.

Branas, on horseback, waved his hand and shouted loudly in public, "It seems that I have avoided a tragic massacre in every sense, soldiers, and I want to tell you that treat these women well, they are also daughters and mothers, and pagan women are not so hateful and terrible." ”

In the midst of the noise, all the miscellaneous stragglers of the Guardian Brigade formed a team and rushed into the ruins of the fortress where only men and imams remained, and went on a killing spree......

Harun and the six Mujahideen men were finally forced into the ruins of an abandoned tower that still stands, where there was a canal leading to the bottom of the hill, and the two centurions of the Guardian Brigade stood outside, carrying a string of heads, and shouted to Harun in front of all the soldiers in the crooked tower, "I have come to you on the orders of the brigade general Branas, and I have come to say to you that if any of you can renounce your faith and stab all your fellow men to death, you may spare this man's life." ”

When the centurion's words were over, the tower in front of everyone fell silent.

Soon after, the brigade soldiers apparently heard the sound of a fierce fight, mixed with swearing and wailing.

When all was silent, the soldiers stepped in, shields and axes, and in the dim darkness lay five bloody corpses, all of whom had beaten each other to death, but none of them were Harun or the other.

But soon, at the bottom of the canal, he found Harun and the corpse clung to each other, his hands and feet twisted, his face stiff and hideous—the centurion officer, who had examined all the wounds of the corpse, stated in a later briefing (Gawain had asked the centurions to write a report in Greek after each battle) that Harun was the only one of the seven who had a dagger, and that after stabbing five of his companions to death, the last of them took advantage of his exhaustion to lift a stone and mortally wound Harun's head. However, Harlan eventually pounced and stabbed him, and the two of them scuffled and fell into the ditch and died at the same time.

At this point, the "Hermis Five-Limb Army" of the Mujahideen has been eliminated from five: 5,000 people have been beheaded, nearly 20,000 people have been captured, and countless vehicles, weapons, tools, pack animals and livestock have been captured, and there is only a lonely "camel city army" left.

After the Defender Brigade had reorganized its front and withdrawn the main detachment, the camel city was surrounded on all sides. Gawain ordered that after another night, all brigades and frontier people launch a decisive general attack on it......

A week later, in the court of Tarsus, Hetomia, the imperial ink officer, with a rare smile, brought the great news of the front to Caesar, who was teasing Helena on the couch:

"His Highness the Great Lord Patron has won a stunning victory over the infidel army on the Sivas Plateau."

Anna jumped up excitedly, took the letter and unfolded it in the palm of her hand:

"Dear wife Anna

I had completely destroyed the camel-walled castle, and a detachment of the Guardian Brigade had seized the earthen embankment behind it, so that all was under the control of the brave soldiers: ten artillery wagons, plus many muskets and arrows, had been carried up the earthen embankment, and they had condescendingly fired at the enemy, which was dense like an ant colony...... The Oghuz cavalry, the red-hand cavalry, and the mounted cavalry then launched a surprise attack on the camel city, and many of the frightened camels tore off their tripwires and ran in a frenzy, so that our cavalry rushed in and cut the enemy in two....... Then it was eaten piece by piece and annihilated...... All muneeins in the enemy ranks were found and decapitated, including the enemy chief Qasim. Jordin, and then the surviving people, herds, and baggage are returned to us...... In this great battle, I have captured nine thousand women and children, all of whom have been newly baptized in the river Comachus, and who will soon be given to soldiers or citizens to serve as their families, which will increase the manpower of the whole nation; There are also 25,000 male prisoners of war, and the rest are either expelled or killed, sorry I shouldn't use the word 'prisoner of war' here, because they will soon be all engaged in canal digging and iron ore production, and it will save us a lot of money, and I will use the Adigai and Black Moors with money and contracts to supervise this group of free laborers, and it is too easy to explain on the side of the Holy See, and the Pope will certainly not be angry at us for using pagan slaves, Instead, he would hold a celebration for me in the city of Rome

I miss your husband all the time."

When Anna finished reading, she beckoned the two maids to continue to take care of her daughter, and then she walked quickly to the reading table and sat down, still with joy, and wrote a few new edicts on the paper with a reed pen, and told the imperial ink officer to convey it immediately.

"The day of June, the 14th of June, which is a week later, is designated as 'Sivas Day' to commemorate this majestic victory, and this day is a feast in which the whole of Tarsus is celebrated, and all artisans and slave laborers are given paid holidays;

I need Gawain to bring some prisoners and trophies from the front, and to set up a temporary triumphal arch out of timber in the square in front of St. Paul's Cathedral to add color to the first Sivas Day ceremony;

Some of the prisoners of war were then shackled and sent to Rome by ship to please Eugene. Owen Seth, the Patriarch of the West;

and some prisoners of war, also by sea via Amasia and Sinop, were sent to the city of New Rome to be taken prisoner by His Majesty the Emperor;

Organize as soon as possible 15,000 Roman inhabitants to migrate to the city of Melitane, and join the nearly 30,000 Paulians there and the Armenian soldiers and civilians who have returned to strengthen the frontier defenses;

Finally, my husband, you should continue northward and take the equally great city of Sivas in one fell swoop, for the enemy can no longer hold back your forces. ”

However, just as Anna had sealed the credit and stamped it with a small seal to be sent, the Imperial Ink Officer Hetomia sent a whirlwind of a second letter from the plateau front, which was supposed to have arrived a few days later, and contained a few words, "The Guardians have captured Sivas, and I have changed the city back to its original name, Sebastianburg." ”

"Long live the big barbarian, long live Sebastian!" Anna laughed, holding the letter and falling on the couch, her pink feet dangling from the edge, her black hair spreading out like petals. (To be continued~^~)
