Eagle Flag of Epirus

Vol 3 Chapter 58: Fixed tone

The unquenchable flames of the Greek fire are like a tyrannical dragon consuming life. Both the Latins and the Chincha people desperately tried to escape from the mud. But obviously a knight in chain mail is more difficult to move, and countless people have been burnt to death. Even if the escaping Latin warriors faced the Varangian axe, blood was splashed on the spot. The Achaean knights, who were already exhausted in the mud, could not withstand such a fierce offensive. Infantry Combat The Varangians are veritable kings of infantry. Even though the Latin knights are superb in their martial arts, they can't fight against these nations with the blessings of the Nordic gods.

In a short period of time, the Achaean cavalry trapped in the quagmire were either exhausted and captured or beheaded to death.

The guards of Sir Charles and Sir Giles consisted of 108 knights and 107 armed attendants, but now there are only a few people left. The Varangians took the lives of one person after another with the battle axe in their hands. The exhausted Achaean warriors were too tired to move their fingers. Even the last cavalry commander, Sir Charles, eventually died in the rebellion.

The trump card of the Achaean army, the elite heavy cavalry was wiped out in such a wasteful way.

Wiping the blood on his face, Nevsky, panting, looked at the upside-down corpses beside him, and finally collapsed to the ground unsupported. This was really a **** battle. Although Justinian arranged everything to let the cavalry fall into the swamp to fight on foot, but Nevsky paid a great price to destroy them. More than half of the Qincha people were casualties, and their Varangian Guards were also killed and wounded. Many of them were affected by underestimating the power of the Greek fire given to them by Justinian. Looking at the people under his hands, there were only less than two hundred soldiers left from the original six hundred soldiers.

Seeing the horrible scene before him, Nevsky couldn't believe that this was actually done by him, especially when the flames of the Greek fire burned, he also felt as if he was in a sulfur hell.

The power of Greek fire that Justinian gave him is simply not the same as that of Constantinople. If they had this thing in the first place, even if Venice coated the warship with a layer of fire-resistant material, it would undoubtedly die.

"Give Master Justinian a signal, we have succeeded!" Even though he was exhausted, Nevsky ordered with a heavy body. Time is the key to victory and defeat. At this moment, the Latins do not know that they are attracted. The proud cavalry has been wiped out, and now is the perfect time to give them a fatal blow.

And at this moment, whether it was Justinian or Baron Louis, they all turned their attention to the reeds on the flanks. At this moment, a dazzling red flag fluttered in the reeds to attract the attention of the two.

"what!"

"it's time!"

The two people spoke in unison, Justinian’s face was full of joy, but Baron Louis’s eyes were astonished. It was not the cross and the flag of the Marquis of Achaia, but the double-headed eagle flag of the Byzantine Empire. Baron Louis, who felt bad for a moment, heard the noise from the side of the mountain, and he was stunned as he stared at the scene in front of him-many Turkic light cavalry in turbans and felt hats rushed over. , They had been hiding there without joining the battlefield.

Good patience, unexpectedly used this trump card at this time. Louis couldn't help but marveling at the commander who was opposite in his heart. He had been waiting for his weakness to be exposed. At this moment, he was actually a little afraid of the other party, such a scheming can be described as terrifying.

Now his cavalry has been sent out, and judging from the situation just now, they have encountered an ambush, Louis can only pray that they can take the lead in breaking the block and giving the Byzantine army a lore. It depends on whether the Turks defeated the Achaian army first or the Achaian knights first tore the Byzantine formation.

However, until now, Baron Louis had not thought that at this time, nearly a thousand heavy cavalry under his army had been wiped out, and he still pinned his hopes on them.

I saw the Turkic people rushing down bravely or uncontrollably. They have been waiting for a long time, and they have always wanted to give the Latins a fatal blow. Now the key to victory lies with them. Fight with the reserve forces of Achaia on the plain. Arslan led his cavalry directly into the long contradictory cards of the Achaean infantry, and it broke the formation of the opposing infantry in a flash. Although the Turkic people are all light cavalry, it is not a problem to deal with the charge of the infantry.

Seeing this scene, Louis was stunned. He miscalculated the combat effectiveness of this Turkic cavalry. In the previous confrontation, he thought it was just some desperadoes who took money and could not withstand a single blow, but now it seems that the opponent is entirely an enemy army. Troop of ace.

The rear of the Achaean army that suffered this heavy blow was in great chaos, and the Turks leaped into the Latin army on their flexible horses to slash and charge indiscriminately, and no one could stop them.

A huge panic instantly permeated the Achaian army, and the commanders who watched them shouted anxiously:

"My Lord Baron, what should we do? If this goes on, everything is over."

However, Louis, who was in a trance, hurriedly split his hand, grabbed the standard bearer beside him, and shouted: "Let Giles and the others come back soon!" He has given up the roundabout tactics, and if there is no heavy cavalry, he will stop it at all. Cannot be attacked from behind by Turkic people.

The standard bearer who was ordered nodded and immediately shook the battle flag to signal the cavalry to come back, but received no response.

Watching this scene, Baron Louis was as cold as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and muttered to himself: "This...how is this possible? What happened!" A bad premonition came, but he did. I didn't want to believe it, but it was true that his cavalry unit didn't mean to respond at all.

And watching this scene, Justinian also showed a smile on his face, waved to give an order, and the last straw he pressed on the Achaean army should also appear on the scene~www.ltnovel.com~ was originally hidden behind the queue. , He carefully trained elite cavalrymen. After seeing this signal, they rushed out like a thunder, turning into a torrent of steel and rushing past and echoing with the Turkic cavalry, forming a front and back attack on the Latins.

The infantry who had been fighting with the Achaian army quickly dispersed. On the floodplain formed by the Alfios River, this was an excellent place for cavalry to attack, and Justinian’s mounted cavalry passed it. Blood flows everywhere

Without the cover of the cavalry, how fragile the infantry facing the heavy cavalry alone is. There are only less than a hundred people who form a heavy cavalry to form a commando team like an assassin's sword directly inserted into the heart of the Achaian army.

The enemy's Chinese army camp is right in front-the Turkic cavalry watching from behind has already locked it here. They fired arrows to guide the mounted cavalry. They saw silver-gray armor and snow-white war horses, like a flood of water. , I dare not be. "Go ahead, Rodria!" They shouted slogans and rushed into the Achaean array.

In just a few seconds, Louis, who witnessed this scene, felt that there was a cavalry charge, and it was clear that a group of monsters pounced on him. I saw the high-speed galloping cavalry directly hit the iron spear jungle of the guard next to Louis, but this could not stop the armored cavalry that was fully armed with three layers of armor protection.

"Master Louis!" When Louis watched the Byzantine heavy cavalry tearing apart his guard formation, everyone focused on the greatest threat in front of him. A cold arrow pierced the air and shot in unexpectedly. He touched Baron Louis's forehead with a plop, and in full view, Baron Louis, the commander of the Achaean army, fell in front of the battle, and he couldn't die anymore. Enter chapter review (0)?
