Eagle Flag of Epirus

"It's reinforcements, our reinforcements are here!" The ecstatic soldier yelled happily, even though he was seriously injured, using his last trace of strength.

　　 They finally waited for the reinforcements from the north, and almost everyone turned their eyes to the direction pointed by the soldier in the distance. I saw that on the hillside in the morning sun, a single figure of a horseback rider emerged first, but gradually a figure of a person also slowly emerged like bamboo shoots after a rain.

　　The Turkic cavalry armed with a spear appeared behind the Venetian. Since they attacked Fort Wiscari with all their strength, the Venetian did not have the slightest defense against his back.

"this is"

This suddenly made the Venetian army who had the winning ticket panicked. With their absolute strength all the way to the city, they were almost about to conquer the walls of Fort Wiscari, and once the walls of the castle were taken down, then Can no longer stop their iron shoes.

　　 But at this time, almost all Venetians did not expect that the Greeks actually had reinforcements, but Ranieri, who commanded the entire army, did not panic. He had anticipated this possibility, even though this was the worst case, but he was already prepared.

"Don't panic, gentlemen! Don't be afraid of the pagan cavalry. Even though the Greeks have these barbaric Turkic cavalry, we are holding the iron spear of God in our hands. Any blasphemer will die! Remember! The stigmata of San Marco shelters Venice forever!"

　　 "Sir Peter, Sir Noel! Formed a shield wall to resist the enemy. They came from a long distance, already exhausted, repelling them, and let the delusions of the Greeks in the city be completely shattered by us!"

Ranieri Dandoro, who has already arranged a reserve team, is waiting for this moment. The number of Turkic cavalry among the Byzantines is absolutely impossible, and they came from faraway Tripolis, completely exhausted. It was unbearable, he was confident that he could wipe it out with his spearmen.

　　 And this, Justinian on the head of the city is also clear, he didn't feel like everyone else was ecstatic when he saw the reinforcements coming. On the contrary, he looked dignified. What was going on? Nevsky and the others had not been able to fight enough in command of the army, but they deliberately attracted attention. This would not have the effect of a sudden attack. If it could not be given to the Venetians A heavy blow would be a huge blow to the Byzantine garrison in the city if it fails.

　　 When the time comes, even if he is not sure to keep the morale of the soldiers in the city, they will continue to resist.

Sure enough, the Venetian army showed no signs of dispersal. The siege troops in front did not have the slightest intention to slow down the attack, while the reserve team behind turned to form a phalanx and shield wall, firmly guarding the Turks lined up on the slope. cavalry.

　　 "Line up!" Sir Peter blew the marching horn and roared, while his reserve team formed an orderly formation.

　　 The Venetian army walked out along the mouth of the gorge, only to see them gathered into a huge formation, facing the sudden appearance of the Turkic cavalry without the slightest fear. A heavy wide-faced shield stood in front of them, and the iron spear in his hand protruded from the shield, forming a steel forest, airtight.

These are very elite urban volunteers in Venice. They can buy extremely expensive armor. Although they are not as brave as professional soldiers, they are well equipped to make up for this. Standing behind them are many light archers with composite bows. , Even forming a line, but also ready for defense at the same time. These archers from the *community are also elites in the Venetian army. For this reason, Ranieri sent them to the back as a reserve team. It is to deal with such a situation.

As for the back, there are foot knights wearing chain mail and holding broadswords. They are nobles who have been hired. They lost their horses and equipment in the battle with the Byzantine heavy cavalry, but they can still be used as extremely elite heavy equipment. Infantry, let them oppose the formation, no one will have any doubts, their armor and weapons are extremely dazzling in the bright sunshine, lined up in a tight formation, following the army battlefield, not only against the soldiers in front A kind of support is also a kind of deterrence.

　　 "Kill all the Turks! Long live Venice!"

　　Sir Noel roared and raised his sword, while the brave soldiers behind him waved their weapons enthusiastically, cursing and mocking provocatively at the Turkic people who had not yet launched an attack on the mountain.

　　 And at this moment on the mountain, it was Arslan who was in command of this cavalryman who had arrived overnight. He looked at the purge of the Venetian army down the mountain, and at the same time looked at the looming Fort Wiscari on the other side.

　　 Arslan, who was so nervous that he was breathing, took a deep breath, and when he opened his eyes again, there was no fear in his eyes.

　　 pulled out the Damascus knife on his waist, Arslan did not look back, but just said indifferently: "Fight for your freedom, charge and kill with me!"

Arslan, who urged the horses and held the reins, rushed to the Venetians waiting in front of him with inertia, without any hesitation or timidity. Behind him, the Turkic cavalry followed him to the Venetians. The army sees death as home.

　　 And looking at the Turkic people~www.ltnovel.com~ Sir Peter, who is in command of the army, sneered, "It's vulnerable. There are only such a few people. Lord Dandoro didn't face too much.

But before he could finish his words, the smile on his face froze in the next second, because the scene before him stunned him, not only him, but the originally confident Venetian soldiers. Shi's face was also full of dazed fear.

　　 Behind the Turkic cavalry who rushed down the mountain, hundreds of Tatar cavalry rushed down the hillside like a tide and rushed towards the Venetians.

　　Ranieri Dandoro was dumbfounded when he saw all this, and he couldn't speak for a long time, and muttered:

　　 "Oh my God! What is this..."

It is normal for the Byzantines to have Turks as mercenaries, but he was not mentally prepared before facing such an astonishing number of Tatars, not only Ranieri Dandoro, but Justinian on the top of the city at the moment. Also shocked.

Except for some of his subordinates, they clearly did not have these fierce Tatar talents. Looking at these horseback people on the coast of the Black Sea, Justinian finally understood why Arslan dared to directly charge the enemy. Although reckless, such a formation is enough to cause great panic.

　　 For strange enemies, fear is often the first.

　　 I saw Arslan rushing to the forefront. At this time, the cavalry rushing to Venice with great inertia was only a few minutes away from the enemy's army, and shouted at the Tatar cavalry Arslan under his command:

　　 "In this way, rush over in one go and kill your enemies. Even if the enemy is prepared, it will not be able to withstand your offensive."
