Eagle Flag of Epirus

Vol 4 Chapter 26: Night Attack (Part 2)

The noise on the sea at Fort Wiscari is full of the roars and shouts of Venetians. They don’t care if they will attract the attention of the enemy in the night. In their opinion, the castle is already in their pocket. Listening to the sound of the wooden paddle hitting the water, Ranieri gave the order. "Stay on the line," and at this moment a sea breeze blew him slightly, making him tremble slightly, looking at the vulnerable Fort Wiscari, somehow he felt a little uneasy.

Even though the castle at this time was blazing into the sky and chaotic, and the water gate had already reached their hands.

At this time, all the warships were in place and lined up for battle, only to see that the deck of each ship was full of archers. In the cabin, there are even infantrymen who are ready to board the city and rush in. It’s just that Ranieri adopted a conservative offensive approach. The entire fleet presented a shuttle formation and followed the tide, so that he could react immediately if something unexpected happened in front of him. After all, the battle conditions in the naval battle changed rapidly, no matter how many ships there are. It is useless. Once the warships are crowded together, the blades are delivered, and they conflict with each other, his fleet will become a target in the eyes of the locality.

However, George Frontier beside him seemed to be very dismissive of Ranieri's conservative combat methods.

"Your Excellency is too cautious, it's like a woman carrying her nightdress. The castle now is like an undefended city, even if the guys in Moria are willing to resist, it's not enough." George Frontier sneered mockingly. During the months he had stayed in Fort Wiscari, the defenders were not only low in morale, but also in general weapons and equipment. If they saw the Venetians coming in, I’m afraid there would be none at all. The fighting spirit to continue.

And Ranieri's immediate feeling when he heard this was not the dissatisfaction of being ridiculed by the other party, but the surprise that the man in front of him betrayed his compatriots so peacefully.

But it’s not surprising that the Crusaders were not invited to Constantinople by the invitation of Alex IV. That’s why they hated the nobles and emperors of the Byzantine Empire so much. Although they have the glorious title of the Roman Empire, they have been infected with the habits of many Eastern empires after hundreds of years of decay. This kind of court conspiracy has already become an inseparable part of their lives!

But despite thinking so in his heart, Ranieri did not dare to underestimate the next battle. Although the power of the empire has lost its honor, the Venetians have already seen the power of civilians in this country since the siege of Constantinople. How powerful, both the Latin Empire and the Greeks in Crete over the past two years have been battered by the resistance of the Greeks.

But now everything is over!

Just listen to the sound of the horn from the warship ahead--

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

After rushing through the turbulent waves, the Venetian launched a general attack after receiving the signal of the general attack.

However, this kind of fanfare still made Ranieri very unhappy, "These pirates, really can't count on them." As the forward, the incorporated Croatian pirate force, and they even ignored Ranieri's order to sound the horn.

"Speed ​​up." Ranieri roared, the matter was over, he could only order the whole army to advance and beat the Byzantines by surprise. Just listen to the sailors screaming, puffing, puffing, and rowing the oars vigorously. On the deck, the infantry clenched their spears, and the archers checked whether their bowstrings were properly adjusted, ready for a **** battle at any time.

I saw the warship quickly approaching the water gate of Fort Wiscari, and Ranieri saw from a distance that the gate had opened unobstructed in front of him, but the feeling seemed to engulf them all...

For some reason, he felt that something was not quite right in the battle this time, everything went too smoothly, and smoothly made him a little scared. But then Ranieri comforted himself in his heart again, how could the Greek who had lost even Constantinople still have combat power, the next attack was just a small episode in his life.

But even so Ranieri cautiously ordered the fleet in front to be careful not to be careless. Under this kind of terrain, the opponent only needs a giant iron cable to stop them from moving forward.

He was trying to figure it out carefully, but time was waiting for no one. There was a burst of cheers from the battleship in front. It turned out that the forward battleship had arrived at the watergate of Fort Wiscari, and they were not attacked by anyone at all. This undoubtedly encouraged everyone, and the battleship at the rear automatically raised. Speed

The originally sparse ships moved down the current and quickly moved closer together ~www.ltnovel.com~ and marched towards Fort Wiscari. But this is undoubtedly contrary to the common sense of the navy. Such a fleet is easily attacked, but for the soldiers on these ships, it is more important to enter the city quickly now than anything else.

Just listen to the long sound of the battle horn, the cheering soldiers beat the drums violently, and the oars rose and fell. Now that the water gate has been controlled by them, half of the castle is already in hand. This is why I hesitated for a moment. In the end, Ranieri did not order the fleet to enter the city temporarily, but rushed towards the Fort Wiscari, preparing to give a fatal blow to the Byzantines.

At this moment, the bay that seemed to be narrow from a distance is now vast as an infinite ocean in Ranieri's eyes, and the Wiscari Fort in front of him is getting bigger and bigger. I have to say that this castle is very different from what we have seen in previous years. The repaired city walls and the steep rocks under the fort are undoubtedly a good place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Unless there is a strong fleet, they can enter the port and attack the city. It is no wonder that the Nicaea need them.

Now Ranieri's unsettling time was wiped out, because he has already arrived here and there is no sign of an ambush or surprise attack by the enemy, which shows that the stupid Greeks really didn't notice them at all. Attack.

It's time for these stupid and arrogant guys to pay the price! Ranieri sneered in his heart, but he didn't notice. On the other side of the bay in the gloom of a small fleet, a group of Byzantines were watching all this happening before him in secret.

"Sure enough, it's such a boring method. It seems that these Venetians are really very confident!" Justin Nee sneered slightly. He was not in the safe city of Wiscari Castle, but was on the front line. Waiting for the Venetian fleet to throw itself into the net.
