Eagle Flag of Epirus

Vol 4 Chapter 72: Deadly Battle (Part 2)

"Break them down! Kill them!" The moment Arslan gave the order, the Turkic cavalry under his command immediately dispersed towards the wings, and the overwhelming Tatar immediately rushed to the panicked Venetian, even though the officers ordered not to Panic, but for the first time facing such an enemy, fear defeated discipline.

  "Woo" only listened to these Tatars roaring like a wolf, riding their horses and pounced on the battlefield of the Venetians.

Ranieri didn't believe his eyes. These barbaric nomads rushed to the heavily armed Venetian army without a trace of timidity. The soldiers were also stunned. They saw that it was the tide. They rushed to drown them, but after all, these Venetian soldiers had also been fighting for a long time, and they immediately recovered their composure amidst the commander's call.

   "Let the arrow!"

After only hearing an order, the archers and crossbowmen in the middle of the army used their bows and crossbows at the same time, and violently shot out a burst of deadly arrows, shot at the Tatars rushing towards them, trying to interrupt the enemy with a flood of arrows. The charge. Although these Tatar cavalry may seem fierce, their equipment is very simple, and they are covered with fur and no metal armor. I saw the first Tatar cavalry caught off guard, and was shot through without time to compare. The ground was killed and wounded, and the horses lacking armor also fell.

   But this did not stop the wild charge of the Tatar army a little bit.

   The moment he got closer, the Tatar took off the short bow at his waist and slid the arrow almost as quickly as shooting a strong crossbow. The compound bow in their hands, although the shooting range is short, is full of power. The dense array of Venice that had originally erected the battle flag was instantly penetrated by this fierce arrow rain. At the beginning, they raised their shields and spears high and confidently confronted the enemy. They were in chaos, because the armor-piercing arrows of the Tatars even passed through the shields and shot through their armor, which made the Venetian army caught off guard. The battle was a little flustered for a while, and this small flaw in time gave their enemies a chance to seize it.

The Tatar cavalry, speeding towards the Venetian impact, jumped up and directly stepped over the huge shield, and rushed into the infantry group to slash and kill wantonly. The barbaric Tatar raised the mace and the scimitar, making the Venetian army stand up. In a moment of time, the blood and blood of World War I was rolled up. Trying to resist the enemy, the Venetian roared and roared, but all was to no avail.

   "How could this be?" Ranieri Dandorou was caught off guard, watching his elite rear army so easily tore through a rift by the Tatars, he couldn't believe it.

And Maximilian hit the nail on the head: "The enemy is condescending from the mountain, and the number is superior. Even the well-equipped infantry will inevitably be unable to sustain such a charge. Lord Dandoro, if this continues, our army will sooner or later. Will be defeated, please withdraw the siege army to defeat these Tatars, so that I can defeat the enemy!"

   Nowadays the situation is no longer tolerant of two-line combat. Maximilian knew that if this continues, they are likely to repeat the same mistakes. They have planned well, but these Greeks will always reveal new cards and make them overwhelmed.

   "That's the only way." In desperation, Ranieri understood that he could only withdraw the army that was still under attack, with Maximilian and Peter beside him. Noel, Joseph, and Delevingne all gathered under their banner, "Our army's left flank is a bay that can be used as a natural barrier. The Greeks in the rear are already badly injured and have no power to fight again. To defeat these Tatars with all their strength, as long as Eliminate them and everything is over!" Ranieri roared holding the long sword high.

"Strike with all your strength, kill all these Tatar dogs from the grassland! Dedicated victory to Venice, dedicated to San Marco, and kill." Under Ranieri's order, the Devin knight personally drove the horse and led the elite. The heavy cavalry rushed to the Tatars. And this move instantly inspired everyone, whether it was infantry or cavalry, the disintegrated Venetian army once again gathered together to frantically besiege the Tatar cavalry.

At this time, the Tatar cavalry's charge finally slowed down. At the end of the crossbow, the Venetians with spears immediately surrounded it from both sides, although the Tatars immediately drew their swords or raised their hammers or axes. Kill, but once the terrifying charge stops, the cavalry becomes the target of all soldiers on the battlefield. The anger of losing a comrade-in-arms just now swept through like a volcanic eruption. The soldiers who rushed up either stabbed the horse with a long spear and dragged the little Tatar off the horse, or smashed the opponent's head with a hammer. Throughout the valley, the battle on the entire battlefield became more and more fierce. Soldiers gathered like sea sand to fight each other, and no one wanted to take a step back.

   But obviously, at this time, the Tatars are gradually falling out of the wind. Once they are poorly equipped, once they engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Venetian soldiers, they will be very disadvantaged. Any cold arrow can make a Tatar lose its combat effectiveness.

   And at this moment, the Turkic cavalry on standby launched an assault on both sides. They rushed to the back of the Venetian with spears in their hands, like a sharp knife thinking about a fatal blow to the heart.

   is where the Venetian flag of St. Mark is located, and there is the place where the Venetian commander is located. Almost all the elite are sent to besiege the Tatars, so that the Turks drove straight in and no one could resist them.

   It turned out that everything before was a guise. Although the Tatars were extremely powerful, they were still a little weak in the face of a large number of well-equipped Venetians, and Arslan's assault and decapitation was more successful in one fell swoop.

   Witnessing this scene, the blood-stained and unkempt Justinian on the city's head also clenched his fists tightly, and the whole person's heart seemed to be involved.

However, under the banner of Ranieri Dandro, a sneer appeared on his face, and the time of Alaslanton that I saw from a distance felt a bit bad, and the next moment I saw a person on the diagonal side hissing endlessly. The horse, a knight in gorgeous armor, and a heavy cavalry suddenly slammed out and blocked the way of Arslan’s Turkic cavalry. Although the eyes in the knight’s barrel helmet could not be seen, Arslan could feel it. The other party was watching him, as if a lion was watching the prey in front of him. The other party is already prepared for this! Arslan's heart sank~www.ltnovel.com~ but he and the brave Turkic warriors around him still drew out their long swords and prepared to fight the enemy to the death.

"There are our enemies in front and behind. We have no way to retreat, but we must make the enemy tremble and cry, even if our army is annihilated, we must also leave our enemies with fear of us!" Arslan was deeply impressed. He took a deep breath, shouted violently, and then brandished the Damascus knife in his hand, leading the cavalry to rush to the Venetian knight in front of him again.

   And justinian, who was on the wall not far away, had a haze in his eyes at the moment, and the gleam in his original eyes because of the arrival of reinforcements also suddenly dimmed. Could it be said that this last hope is about to be shattered? Suddenly, Justinian was taken aback, and he cast his gaze on the entire battlefield again. Only then did he notice that from beginning to end, only Arslan led the army to the rescue, but Nevsky did not appear. He didn't think that what the Varangian said was empty talk, but the man did not appear on the battlefield at the moment, which made Justinian's heart a little more confused, but suddenly there was a huge crack in the flat ground. Thinking of it, he suddenly pulled him back from his thoughts.

In the bay on the southwest side, a huge asphalt wooden barrel with a blazing fire was thrown out by a trebuchet and directly smashed into the Venetian army. The huge wooden barrel that burst open burned and swallowed everything around it. The affected area suddenly became a piece of scorched earth. This sudden attack caught the Venetians by surprise once again, and they all looked in the direction from which the attack came, and saw a huge fleet appearing on the bay outside Fort Wiscari at some point. Enter, and obviously Ranieri Dandro recognized at a glance that it was definitely not a warship from Venice.
