Eagle Flag of Epirus

Vol 4 Chapter 74: Genoa's intervention

The Venetians who had just reacted heard the movement and turned their heads to look behind them with trembling. They saw an angry horse rushing in heavy armor. The armored knights looked like moving iron towers from a distance. The Byzantine cavalry with spears roared and issued a victorious roar like a sharp blade, tearing the battlefield of the Venetian army. But the desperate Venetians had nothing to do. They watched the spear sharply pierced into the flesh and blood of the same-robed body and their eyes were stained with blood, and then they were shocked and panicked by the surrounding collision. His companion knocked down and stepped on it, like a stone on the ground trampled by iron hoofs, crushed to pieces, slices of Venetians fell down, and the battlefield screamed endlessly.

   In this way, the thousands of Venetian army, which had a chance to win, were attacked on three sides and completely collapsed. They were chased as prey and slaughtered indiscriminately.

   And every time a Venetian soldier fell, the Byzantine roars and roars made the Venetian morale even more uncontrollable.

   Crush, slaughter, and retaliate fiercely. This is the only thing the Byzantine army thinks at this moment.

   The not-so-large place outside Wiscari Castle was originally not suitable for a decisive battle, but at this moment it has become the Venetian's flesh-and-blood mill. Regardless of whether they have the courage to resist, the Venetians have no choice to escape here. Countless people have been chopped down and killed, and even more people have turned into a pile of mud because their companions trampled on them.

   "Master Dandora, we can't resist it anymore!"

   "If this continues, I will be wiped out, what should we do?"

   "Reinforcement, we need reinforcement, where is our fleet?"

   Ranieri, whose face was ashen ashes, was completely panicked at this moment, while the headless Venetian army was plunged into even greater chaos. Maximilian on the side was even more anxious, loudly trying to wake up the adults in front of him. At this moment, they must have someone who can preside over the overall situation, otherwise it will only be a matter of time before they are encircled and annihilated.

   "Sir, Lord Dandoro, please give us instructions quickly, otherwise we are really going to die."

In Maximilian’s slightly crying voice, Ranieri watched the Venetian corpse quickly lie down all over the city. This **** scene stimulated his already fragile and tense nerves. A painful time came out like a nervous breakdown.

   "How could this be, how could this be!"

  The war has almost reached the point of one-sidedness. The victory has undoubtedly reached the hands of the Byzantines. Looking at such a heavy loss, Ranieri understands that no one can reverse such a fiasco at this moment. However, he couldn't accept this result. He was defeated by a group of exiled skirmishers, and the army that was supposed to be honored by his motherland to guard the island of Crete also suffered heavy losses, which made Ranieri feel ashamed.

"Be prepared for the horse, prepare for the horse! I will charge myself and kill these **** Greeks! Who is it, who is helping them?" Ranieri yelled out of control, as if despair and anger had already rushed. The last trace of his reason was lost, but he clearly realized that the battleship that appeared suddenly could never be the work of the Byzantines themselves. Someone must be making trouble in secret.

   But in any case, he has completely failed, and he has no face to return to his home country to explain such a defeat, and he is even more ashamed of his father and Dandoro. Now, surrounded by three sides, instead of sitting and waiting for death, it is better to fight to the death and change to a more dignified method of death.

However, the others around him hurriedly led the horse backwards, begging Ranieri not to act impulsively. These Venetian officers were all young and strong members promoted by Ranieri and were absolutely loyal to them. They kept begging Ranieri not to think about it. , Retreat to a safe place as soon as possible, lest the whole army loses its core characters, then it will really fall into an impossible situation.

Just when the Byzantine army was so powerful and the Venetian army was mourning, suddenly on the sea they were looking forward to, the Venetian warship finally appeared in the field of vision. This suddenly made the desperate hearts of them ignite. hope. Everyone knows that it is only a matter of time before the army is surrounded and wiped out on three sides, and the only way out is to escape from the sea.

  ……

However, on the other side, the warships in Venice also suffered heavy losses at this moment, because not long ago, when they had blocked the bay of Fort Wiscari and stood still, the unnamed fleet that appeared from behind suddenly attacked them and attacked the sinking with fire. Half of their ships. And watching our own army on the shore suffered a disastrous defeat, even though it was afraid of the local ships, the Venetian navy, which could not sit back and watch, could only bite the bullet and approach the coast, gathering the remnants while guarding against possible attacks.

   But surprisingly, after the Byzantine army was brought to the coast, this suspicious and mysterious fleet remained unmoved, and at this time the Venetian attempted evacuation was equally indifferent.

"Master Bantic, what should we do?" In the warship, the chief officer on the side looked at the man in front of him and asked for instructions~www.ltnovel.com~ It was not someone else who commanded this fleet, it was in Yiluo. Ban Tick where Famborg and Justinian reached an agreement. As a result of reaching a trade agreement in Agrinon, he was given the opportunity to go to the Levant to show off his skills, and he has since risen to success.

However, when he left Acre on his way to his home country a few days ago, he was given an order to go to the war-torn South Peloponnese. He happened to find a rushing march on the coast that he was passing by, intending to rescue the warrior. Neusky and his party in Scaryburg. So Neusky immediately changed his plan and let Arslan rush with his cavalry, while he boarded the Genoese ship and descended from the sea. This was a fatal blow to the Venetians by surprise.

But at this moment, watching the Venetians desperately trying to escape from the ship, Bantik shook his head and ordered: "We will not move. As long as the Venetians do not attack us, we will not do anything extra. Order everyone not to reveal their identity, and The Venetians are fighting, do you understand?" Although the entire fleet did not fly the Genoa cross flag, it does not mean that it will not show its feet. Even the cautious Bantic attacked the Venetian by fire before, so as not to leave the other side with a handle. Therefore, watching the Venetian retreat and escape back to the boat at this moment, Bantic ordered everyone not to act rashly.

Looking at the defeated Venetian with dignity, Bentic knew exactly what this meant. Genoa had directly intervened in the war between Byzantium and Venice to prevent Venice from continuing to dominate, but this would inevitably lead to the entire North. The situation in Italy and the Eastern Mediterranean is turbulent. And such consequences, did the person who ordered himself to help Justinian really think about it?
