Chapter 101: Cliff Victory

At the same time, in the Seleucian palace, the temporary military meeting was also being held nervously, and the host was none other than the princess in purple, "The respective chiefs and deputies of the six divisions do not need to panic, the four bazaars in the territory are still open on time, and all administration and life are as usual." In addition, the garrison of Alalmanburg must do their duty, monitor the movement of the western seashore, and execute those who neglect their duties immediately.www.biquge.info The supreme command of the camp of Miriosefalon was temporarily entrusted to the Commander of the People's Army, Billel, and the Believer Archon served as an assistant inspector. In addition, Feishu went to the Cappadocia region and asked Ryan Stein there to be the sole guard, and Walter. Sanzabal's mounted cavalry regiment marched through Fort Antioch Lesser, marching day and night from the east to help the camping - Gilligi had agreed to give us the right to pass, but he was now guarding the lonely city of Conya, and it was only a symbolic thing to let go. ”

"That's it, what about His Royal Highness Gawain, the great lord patron?" The little sunfish was a little impatient, and stood behind the curtain and rushed to ask the question.

The directors of the other divisions also looked at the figure of the princess behind the curtain very nervously, "What are you afraid of!" The princess replied sharply, "Now that I am the guardian of Seleucia, will the great patron watch me ignore me?" From now on, leaving the cavalry of the People's Army to collect everywhere, the Chamber of Commerce will also pay for every five households to hire horse catchers to strictly deal with all kinds of spies. ”

After saying that, the princess was about to retch again because of the excessive tone, but she tried her best to hold back, and the little sunfish and Hetomia saw her hand, and trembled and grabbed the armrest of the chair, and the fingernails were oozing blood, and covered her mouth with her sleeve, and she forced herself to pass, she could not lose her temper in front of all the officers and the brotherhood.

"Yes." Everyone immediately replied with their hands down.

Indeed, far away in the city of Tarsus, Gawain also sat on a rattan chair, waiting for news from the Eastern Front, holding in his hand the letter that Anna had given him earlier, "My fawn and foal are really pregnant...... But now, I can only pin my hopes on that guy Bohemond and give me some gas, Redbeard! ”

Gawain was right, and now it was time for Bohemond to march for a decisive battle: after the beginning of spring, Lord Raymond in the fortress of the Iron Bridge suddenly broke himself off, carrying a holy spear and a banner, and marched towards Latakia and Jubail after the consecration of the weapons of Patriarch Saphobel, and after some 80,000 pilgrims followed him with cheers, even Godfrey, Baldwin, and Robert had to follow Raymond like a servant with his main force, "marching towards the tomb of the glorious Lord." ”

Raymond made a disturbance, and the lords of the Samosata front line also made a fuss, and they did not want to fight against the Armenians and Turks here, and they all went to the Holy City. Bohemond and Tancred first spent money to buy them, but they could not suppress the fanaticism of the group, and later persuaded them not to buy it.

"Give me another half a month, and after I have done my best to defeat the evil enemy of Christ, Chief Merrick, once I have recovered Samosata, I will lead everyone to follow Lord Raymond's pace." In the end, Bohemond's plea finally calmed the minds of all the warriors.

After that, everything depends on Bohemond's own ability.

For at the same time as he had made his promise, Gawain had sent out all the Red Hand cavalry, drawing two elite detachments from each of the Gimagis Brigade and the Red Hand Brigade, so that Bramson, Decius, and Dorus could make the same force. Lambert led the formation of a new task force, which would march directly from Sith through the eastern plains, and then advance to the Armenian Pass and Marash, to make a detour from the flank, in conjunction with Bohemond.

In short, what can be done, Gawain has done it.

On the third day of the post-Annunciation service, one of the horsemen held up a leather cylinder and shouted, "Lord Bohemond has won a great victory in the Samosata Valley, Lord Bohemond has won a great victory in the Samosata Valley, more than half of Chief Merrick's army has been wiped out, and the remnants of the army and the chieftain have fled to Melitane!" The guards guarding the gate hurriedly opened the gates, so that the good news of the cavalry spread throughout the city in an instant, and many of the inhabitants and the soldiers of the barracks shouted with joy and even burst into tears, and fell to the ground and shouted praises of the Blessed Blessed Virgin.

Gawain, who had been sitting on that wicker chair for two days and two nights, had been motionless when he heard the news, and all the camp had been left to Merlot, and he had been waiting for news from Bohemond, either disastrous or triumphant.

And at this moment, the great victory of the Eastern River Valley came unmistakably, Gao Wen jumped up from his chair with a somewhat numb leg, and then Mu Zafei Adin hurriedly raised the armor, the hood and the cloak, Gao Wen quickly dressed it neatly, and tore open the brown paper in the leather cylinder:

Bohemond proudly declared his victory, and attached the testimony of the seals of Bramson, Decius, and Lambert - it turned out that Task Force Bramson had rushed all the way to the city of Marashburg, and that Saliki was too frightened to go out of the fort to refuse the battle, and then Bramson simply went deeper, crossing the middle of Marash, Tubacena, and Lavodra, and breaking through several groups of Danishmund's Turkic guards, and finally appeared on the mountain peak behind Merrick's camp, And in the distance in the direction of Samosata, a flame of news was lit.

The morale of Bohemond's whole army was immediately boosted, and the shrewd Redbeard Viscount ordered a decisive battle, he deliberately raised his Phnom Penh white flag, gathered a dense queue to countless numbers, and rushed to the opposite position of the Bramson task force, when the light refracted by the Flemen's halberd shone into Merrick's eyes, the chief of the plateau turned back and heard the shouts of the Bramson task force on the mountain peak behind him, and the entire camp around him was panicked, so he keenly realized, "This is the Norman bandits of Antioch who want to attack me here, and form a flanking posture with the enemy on the mountain peak. ”

Merrick then quickly divided the whole army into several teams, guarding them in the direction of the camp, and he personally led the strongest team, with the Armenian cavalry of Fer and Pak Ad and his sons, and was preparing to engage Bohemond.

But Merrick clearly miscalculated, and at this moment the real killer of the Normans, Tancred, was quietly detouring back to the opposite side of the valley at the source of the Euphrates with four hundred of the most elite Norman cavalry, and in the other direction, the shouts attacked Merrick's camp, and the Norman cavalry with spears in their arms swept inexorably and destroyed most of the camp, and the slaves and boys who escaped from the Turks were like ants on a hot pan - and then Bohemond and Bramson also launched fierce assaults from both directions, The Danishmund's Turkic army collapsed in less than an hour.

On the way to Meritene Castle, the only way out of the car, Merrick, Paxade, and Fell fled the slaughterhouse like a deer caught in a hunter's snare. But more than 2,000 Turks and Kurds ran to the edge of the cliff in a panic, and were slaughtered by the pilgrims, and the enemy camp was completely at the hands of Bohemond. (To be continued.) )
