Chapter 22 - Chapter 22

Hasan pasha was riding his horse slowly and looking around.After a while,he was ensured,that there was nobody near his army.As Simon anticipated,Hasan pasha truly smiled for himself and looked behind him.He told his janissaries:

-No one is here,my lions!Nothing and nobody will be able to prevent us from delivering the provisions to the garrison.Slowly follow me!

Simon was watching him from afar and he occurred these:

-"Today is the day you will learn to be scared of Georgians!You just wait!"

Simon put his hand on Giorgi's shoulder.The crown prince looked at his father at once:

-What are we supposed to do now?

-Listen to me and observe my signal.You have to prepare your bows and arrows and then shoot them.At that moment,Hasan pasha's army will be puzzled for a while and we must take advantage of that.In other words,we will be turning up in front of them and attack with swords.You see,that they are outnumbering us. Therefore,each of my soldier has to slay at least 4 janissaries.This battle will be extremely outrageous and we have to do everything in our power to win.

Simon lifted his right hand.His soldiers immediately figured out what was this signal for.The king told them how he would be pointing them to shoot the Ottomans the day before.There were 1500 archers out of 5600 soldiers.As soon as these archers spotted Simon's signal,they prepared their bows and arrows and shot the Ottomans.The conquerors didn't expect this and the whole Ottoman army was confused at once.Simon saw that approximately 1500 soldiers were killed.He pointed again his archers to put their bows and arrows down.

-Let's attack our enemy together!-Simon shouted and ran towards Hasan pasha.

Giorgi and 5600 soldiers followed him.All of them ran with their swords.They were shouting and created such noise that the Ottomans almost lost hearing ability.

-Where the hell did they appear?!Soldiers,get off your horses and fight against them right now!-Hasan pasha shouted at his janissaries.

Soon,the janissaries and Simon's soldiers were fighting fiercely against each other with swords.The archers were shooting arrows to the janissaris again.After 4 hours of bloody battle Georgians assassinated 15 thousand soldiers.Each of them killed 5 janissaries.After the combat was finally over,Hasan pasha looked at the battlefield.He ordered his subordinates to count the slain soldiers.After a while,he was reported,that 15000 janissaries were murdered.He couldn't believe his ears at first and counted them himself.Afterwards,he was convinced that the report was accurate and was devastated.Only 5 thousand janissaries were left.

-My lions,cheer up!We were not destroyed completely.Let's march towards the garrison.Your comrades are starving!-Hasan pasha applied aloud to his army.

-Yes,commander!-The janissaries replied him together.

Hasan pasha and his soldiers got on their horses.Simon and Giorgi didn't miss this detail and applied to their troops aloud:

-Our lions,we must not let Hasan pasha enter inside the fortress!We must chase them!All of you get ready!
