Eagle Flag of Epirus

"Waiting for them to fall into the trap, is this your plan?" Nevsky asked, besieging Karamai, then the defenders of the surrounding fortresses would definitely not stand by, and it was theirs then. Opportunity.

"Yes, the castles that uproot the Latins will definitely consume too much precious time. This is not allowed. If we can't make a final decision in a short time, the four thousand defenders of Tripolis will react to the consequences. Unthinkable.” Justinian had already made a plan to draw the snake out of the hole, and then waited for the Latin to throw himself into the net.

　　 But it all depends on how long the consumption of Italian mercenaries can last, and how long Zeodore Cephalon’s current passive offensive can sustain is related to whether the plan can continue.

　　 The retreat of the Italian mercenaries was soon driven back by Zeodoro Cefalon’s supervising team. The helpless Italians could only take their weapons and rushed back onto the battlefield to fight with the Achaian army.

But there were not only the regular army, but there were many Latin militias armed at this time. They were the pioneer group left behind by the Crusaders. They also resisted the Byzantine army the most fiercely. Following the instructions of the Latin officers, The heads of the soldiers carrying the siege hammers bloomed under the falling rolling woods and falling rocks.

　　 Attacks were repelled from time to time, which made the morale of Achaia's army soared, "Defend this city, the weak Greeks will never be able to attack! Killing an enemy is rewarding!"

　　 "Oh oh oh!" After all the soldiers heard the commander's encouragement, they rushed to the city to repel the Italian mercenaries.

"Your Excellency Fallon, we have done our best. Please support us as soon as possible, otherwise we will not be able to attack." The blood-stained Italian mercenary leader pleaded with Zeodoro Sefaron's heavy infantry to enter the battlefield with grief and indignation, but What he waited for was an indifferent response of "withstand".

In desperation, the Italians could only launch a senseless offensive again, but what awaited them was the return of the heavy siege crossbow. Many huge heavy crossbow arrows shot directly to tear the flesh of people, which completely smashed the Italian mercenaries. No one is willing to rush forward even if more than a hundred defeated soldiers are reorganized.

　　 At this time, Zeodoro Cefalon ordered the mercenaries to retreat. At this time, the heavily injured Italian army had completely lost offensive capabilities, and half of the casualties were no longer enough. Watching the enemy's offensive retreat, the Achaean army on the city's head cheered. They all took off their helmets and waved them. The corpses of the war dead were dazzled with spears, and the sight of the corpses of the mercenary war dead hanging from the top of the city is even more horrible.

　　 Among them was the leader of the Italian mercenaries. He killed him in helplessness and despair, and died on the battlefield by almost self-defeating means, in exchange for Zeodore Cephalon to stop the attack.

　　 And then, the Achaean soldiers stepped forward one by one and lit the man's body with a torch until it burned into a ball of fire, which everyone could see, and it made everyone grief and indignation.

　　 But Zeodoro Cephalon was still indifferent watching this scene. His goal has been achieved, and to him, these Italians are worthless. He sneered slightly, thinking that the conspiracy that frustrated Justinian had weakened the opponent's strength.

　　 But on the other side, waiting for the fortress in Mysohori, the defenders there finally realized that they were ready to go after receiving Karamai’s call for help.

　　 Several armies left their garrison at almost the same moment and went to Karamai for rescue. They did not have any delay. According to the intelligence, there were thousands of Byzantine troops besieging Karamai fortress, as long as they gathered to repel them.

　　 The Valarian knights of Mysokhori brought three hundred infantry and fifty knights to Karamai immediately. They were the nearest Achaean army.

But they did not expect that they were heading towards the trap arranged by Justinian. There is a forest trail between Mysohori in Karamada, and there are small hills on both sides. It is the nearest road, but it is also at the same time. Excellent location for ambushes.

　　 "Kill—" The Qincha man suddenly roared when the Achaean army was halfway through the march, leaned out and pointed his bow and arrow at the unprepared Latin.

Valarian looked up and saw that his army was engulfed, but following the faint light in the forest, he could only hear the bow and arrow roaring down. Before he had time to react, the adjutant next to him was shot. Wear the throat.

"This is the ambush of the Greeks. Don't panic. This is not their main force. Everyone raised their shields and rushed out." He shouted desperately. The man knew that if he continued to stay in this situation, the casualties would increase and he could only break through immediately. Get out. Valarian still didn't realize the danger of his situation, because he thought that the main Byzantine force was still in Karamai, so he thought it would be enough to get out of the opponent's block~www.ltnovel.com~ but there are still countless bows and arrows like locust rain. Falling down, there are screams of people and horses everywhere.

The simple-dressed Qincha men scattered and stood in the jungle on the high slopes. They were natural archers who slaughtered the Latins who filed through the narrow area. However, the Latins could not do anything. Effective counterattack, the bowman shoots aimlessly and has no way to find the target.

An arrow pierced Valarian’s shoulder blades, and turned directly over and fell off the horse. This exacerbated the panic among the army. I saw lightly armed soldiers stepping forward with shields to protect their commanders, and they were here. At that time, the rain of arrows from the Qincha people suddenly stopped, and this allowed the Achaean army to breathe for a while, as if it were amnesty.

But the wounded soldiers fell to the ground are countless, Valarian reluctantly insisted on getting up, finally climbed on the back of a horse, and shouted: "What are you still waiting for? Don't worry about other people. All those who are active will kill with me."

　　 At this time, the Achaean army was desperate.

"Yes!"

The remaining brave French knights, even though many people were injured by arrows, were still not timid. They waved their swords and followed Valarian and led the army towards the exit of the forest. At the same time, they slew their bows and arrows. Shot at them again.

"Abominable Greek coward!" Roaring at the top of the mountain, Valarian vowed that he would hate him if he had the opportunity, but the infantry on all sides was wailing and fell immediately, and even the horses of the land knights were also He hit the arrow and threw his master off the horse. But even so, the Achaean army did not stop and continued to rush towards the exit.

　　 However, a Turkic cavalry outside the forest has been waiting for a long time.
