Chapter 12: Trapped and Killed
Then the garrison staggered because of the stabbing too hard, waiting for the moment when he readjusted his body on the battlement, "Eat my life-saving tribulus hammer!" Dim cried out in pain, and then the other arm, which was only clothed in chain mail, pulled out the wooden handle of the thistle hammer from the back pocket, and the iron chain shook and shook, and then it was swept into a strong wind, and it hit the door of the garrison, and the other party's eyes, nose, mouth, and teeth were all smashed and sunken, and blood spurted everywhere, and then he went up on his back and fell upside down from the battlement.

Diem. Goliath took the opportunity to jump on the corpse of the garrison officer, and then the surrounding defenders realized that the tribulus hammer in the hand of the giant monster in iron armor was specially made: a wooden handle, three iron chains tied to three morning star tribulus terrestris, and then danced like a whirlwind, like a hydra, beating all around crying father and mother, flesh and blood flying. The defenders of the eastern wall, who had lost their garrison, could no longer muster the courage to resist this monster and fled in all directions, and all the Gemagis soldiers at the eastern gate cheered, occupied most of the wall, and jumped down the road, and began to swing their axes and slash the latches behind them.
When Biller was out of breath and had climbed up the hill with the Nationalist troops who had come to him, the east gate of the town had been destroyed, and the northern end of the city wall had been occupied by Gregor's men, the west gate began to burst into flames, marking the success of Giovanni's Roundabout Rangers.
In less than an hour and a minute, the small town of Alalmanburg fell, and many of the well-to-do soldiers of the Callegos family were killed in street battles, and a few of them fell to their deaths from the cliffs at the southern end.
On the corner tower of the big city, the two remaining Callegos brothers, through the wall and the cliff, looked at the small city that was overwhelmed and crushed by the high-tech tourism group with grief and pain, and its defense was declared a crushing failure in such a short time, which made people feel desperate. Among them, Ace saw with his own eyes that Gawain's soldiers stood at the highest point of the city, holding the eye-catching silver spike battle flag, and cheered in unison, and the two soldiers who jumped off the cliff in the south of the city did not die, but crawled out of the pile of dead bodies with their broken legs, crawling along the wall, trying to come towards the big city. As a result, after a whistle, a group of light cavalry set up by Gawain in the wilderness passed through the gap in the wall, lassoed the two horsemen with ropes, and then dragged them away by striking their horses in reverse......
"Father's judgment on the direction of Gao Wen's main attack is not wrong." Then, in the central tower, the two cautiously reported to Nika, who was sitting in the corner.
"It's okay if you're wrong, now that the town has fallen in such a short time, we Callegos have no power to recover......," Nika sighed, reiterating his previous point, one full of despair.
"We hold on to the big city, and the emperor's reinforcements will soon reach the swamp west of the city......" Ace. Callegos could never figure out why his father valued the town so much.
But before Nika could speak, the movement outside told the two brothers all the answers.
The town was located on the entire northern ridge of the Alalmanburg, and Gawain, having just captured it, sent Giovanni with a detachment of soldiers to the deep mountain stream in front of the town, where the Alalman River was upstream, and the water was rushing, and a bifurcated double gate was set up here: in normal times, the back gate was opened, and the front one was closed, so that the river flowed along the river and into the field ditch below the mountain; When there is a flood, it opens and closes in turn, so that all the water of the river is poured into the swamp west of the city.
There is no doubt that Gawain's army took the latter action......
A great roar sounded, and the people at the head of the city of Alarmanburg saw that the river rushing down from the mountain stream filled the swamp, and soon submerged the passage between the city and the west, and in a short time only a narrow and towering land bridge between the sea and the swamp was left.
At this moment, the three hundred leading Imperial mercenary cavalry, led by Leo and Tiga, sweated like rain and braved the scorching heat to rush to the huge swamp full of swamps, "Damn, bastard! Leo scolded bitterly, and he saw the inhabitants and soldiers at the head of his father's castle on the other side of the swamp, crying to the sky, waving all kinds of flags, and shouting to him for help, "There is still a land bridge left, rush over!" "Over there, Tiga. Callegos did not hesitate.
But Gawain erected the battle flag on the small city, and the Red Hand cavalry, which had been ready to attack, was suddenly overwhelming, gathered two companies together, and swept the area between the big city and the wall, and then many soldiers and servants of the people's army followed them, and surrounded the big city on one side, and on the other side of the narrow land bridge in the swamp, and erected many crossbows and porcupines. Then Biller and Wright, mobilizing four teams of elite soldiers, two with spears and two with bows, quickly galloped to the ground between the land bridge and the gate of Ayutthaya, and sealed the Tiga. Reinforcements from the cavalry of Callegos approached, and the two sides fought to the death along the narrow passage. The sound of killing shook the sky, Severn. Callegos personally led a group of city soldiers from the west gate to try to respond, and the four groups of civilian soldiers immediately turned around and divided into two sides to fight, and then the red hand cavalry took the squadron as a unit, braving the flying stones and arrows at the head of the city, and took turns to rush to the side of Severn.
After a while, Severn was defeated and retreated into the city because he was outnumbered; Soon after, Tiga could only drink hatred, turned back to the land on the other side of the swamp, on the way back, Billel ordered the erection of the crossbow machine to fire a burst, huge and powerful arrows swept the entire land bridge embankment, the cavalry around Tiga was shot one by one and fell into the water, and suffered heavy casualties, and when they returned to the inventory, they found that Diga took eighty cavalry, only to return less than fifty people......
Gawain selected 500 soldiers from various ranks and gave them to Deem. Led by Goliath, he held the hillside town and blocked the way of any emperor's horses; Seven hundred Genat soldiers were handed over to Monomachus, and they were stationed in the hills on the edge of the town to receive them; Then he handed over 2,000 civilian troops to Birrell, and with the crossbow machine, half of them completely blocked the Dead Land Bridge and the swamp area to the west, and half of them blocked the two gates of the great city to the west; Gregor commanded two detachments of the Gimagis Brigade and blocked the north-east gates of the city; Wright commanded two other detachments and blocked the east gate of the city; He took the remaining three detachments of infantry and all the cavalry, together with the craftsmen, and set up a camp and command post only 600 feet away from the city, and prepared to erect the "Great Plani Cannon" to attack the fortifications of the city.
After nightfall, inside the tent, Gawain raised the wine cup with milk and toasted to Kabeamia, especially the proud little sunfish, "You see, as long as you storm and take the small city, all the situation will be alive - not only can it block the emperor's special forces, but it can also flood the swamp, completely besiege Alalmanburg, and cut off the emperor's assistance to the city." In short, with more than 7,000 soldiers and tens of thousands of troops against the emperor, I can not only seize the key fortresses and slaughter the henchmen who interfered with the unification of Seleucia, but also demand more rights and interests from the emperor in future negotiations.
