Eagle Flag of Epirus

Chapter 23: Latin knight

   "Are you okay?" Vasily drew an axe from Romanus' corpse and walked up to ask.

   "What do you mean, half-life!" Justinian said grimly, obviously injured very badly, but he was pretending to be relaxed, which made Vasily more worried.

   "I was still late. I thought I was very careful, but I didn't expect that he would betray me." Vasily apologized and helped Justinian up and gave him a simple dressing. Looking at Romanus' corpse, the man sighed for a while.

   He never expected that his subordinates who followed him for more than two years would betray him. It was obvious that the other party had served in the army just like himself, and he even colluded with the Latins to kill his compatriots.

"After the death of Emperor Manuel, people's hearts were lost. It was this meaningless intrigue that ruined this country." Justinian said quietly, whether it was the Komunin dynasty or later Paleo. Both the court conspiracy and the civil war of the Legg dynasty pushed the Roman Empire to the grave step by step. People like Romanus are by no means a minority. They follow the trend and forget their previous glory. With the destruction of the military region system, the country has become rotten from the inside out.

   In history, Nicaea regained Constantinople but never put the broken empire together again, and Justinian did not want to repeat the same mistakes.

   "Yeah, if it weren't for your majesty Alexey's gang fight, how could you let the Latins take advantage of this." Vasily nodded, although he is a martial artist, he understands what Justinian said is very reasonable. In the past few decades, more and more people have been disappointed in this country. In people's eyes, no king who is changing the lights is a virtuous one who meets their expectations, and even the people of the empire have defected to the Turkic people.

   "How is it going up now?" Justinian saw that Vasily did not direct the battle above to check the situation, and he might have temporarily repelled the Latin attack.

Vasily nodded, "Temporarily repelled them, but if they attack them with archers at any cost, we will definitely not be able to hold them. It is estimated that more and more enemies will follow. If there is no--" And when the man's eyes fell After the clay pot on the ground, I could not help but ask excitedly: "Is this the Greek fire?"

"Well, it's fortunate that the Latins here did not find it. This time we should be able to give them an unexpected surprise." There was a smirk at the corner of Justinian's mouth. It had been prepared that the Latins did not suffer major losses due to the Greek fire, but this time they would never expect that the vulnerable resistance army would use Greek fire to give the Latins some color.

   "Sir, the Latins, the Latin knights are coming." At this time, a panicked soldier ran down to report the emergency military situation. There was a resistance army eyeliner in every block. They found that the brigade cavalry was approaching here.

Is    finally here? Justinian and Vasily knew that the critical moment had arrived. Their main purpose this time was to prevent this cavalry unit from entering the Thracian War, but both Vasily and Justinian knew that they were dominated by infantry. The Resistance Army cannot deal with well-trained knights. Even if there is a Greek fire, it is difficult to resist a knight charge.

   Fortunately, they were also prepared for this.

   "Leave here first and bring the Greek fire on." Justinian frowned slightly, he was injured by Romanus, but the war is far from over, and he will be indispensable next.

  ……

"They are so stupid as to be so stupid, even if the armory is full of weapons, what is the use of handing over to the hands of the mob? Qing Gallias is simply making a fuss. We are enough to destroy them." Riding on the horse, fully armed. Bosimonde said dismissively, he directly refused Gallias’s order to lead his directly-administered cavalry to the direction of the armory. At this time, the Latins in the Romanian court were busy panicking, and most of the guard troops were guarding the poor riots in the shantytowns and were unable to respond.

  Galias, who received the news, immediately demanded that Bosimonde's troops stand still.

   But Bossimonde is indeed full of confidence, because he has almost a hundred knights and more than 800 cavalry under his command, and his powerful mobility is definitely not something that riotous militias can deal with.

But when the Latin cavalry army arrived in the armory, the Constantinople Resistance militia had already disappeared, and the disintegrated guards saw Bosimonde's army rushing over and they were relieved to move closer. come.

"Where did the Greeks fled, you useless waste?" Bossimon, who witnessed all this, looked down on the fighting power of Emperor Baldwin’s army even more. In addition, the guards of the patrol unit had almost a hundred people. The capture of the armory also caused the opponent to retreat.

"They all went to Theodosius Square. There are almost one or two hundred people and we really can't resist it." I saw these guards say with lingering fear, apparently frightened, which made Bosimonde even more disdain. After taking a look, the man still didn't look at the Resistance Army until this time.

   Following the direction where the soldier was pointing, Bossimon nodded and smiled, as if the Resistance was already in his pocket.

"Lord Pedrogo, you took the light cavalry to intercept their retreat from a roundabout, and the rest followed me." The well-equipped number also has an advantage. Bossimonde is more assured and bold, and directly splits his troops into two groups. The resistance was swept away.

But Lord Pedrogo, who received the order, hesitated, "Is this a bit risky, Baron Bosimonde. In case there is an ambush..." They have not seen the Resistance in person, Bosimonde's. The order was really too big, and Pedrogo hoped that Bossimonde could be more cautious.

However, Bosimonde, who doesn’t put the Greeks in his eyes, couldn’t listen to them~www.ltnovel.com~ impatiently shouted: "Pedrogo, a year ago, even the Greek Guards were in front of us. As if the chickens are vulnerable, now it's just a group of stragglers, why don't you hesitate, don't you wait for them to escape into the shanty town and let the group of people in the palace fail to make a joke?" Bosimonde as Marquis of Boniface The capable officer of Baldwin himself was very dissatisfied with Baldwin's courting the Venetians to get the crown, and the elimination of these resistance forces was a naked humiliation to him.

   Do not say more, Bossimonde as the supreme commander issued the order, and the other knights can't say anything anymore and follow him to execute the order.

   I saw the mighty cavalry passing through the blocks of Constantinople to the Theodosius Square and preparing to outflank the fleeing resistance army. The empty streets of the magnificent city allowed the cavalry to flow unimpeded.

And watching the departed cavalry go away, the guards who were originally panicked immediately no longer looked like they were shivering. They took off their helmets, took off their armors and put on their original costumes. It turns out that these people It turned out that they were not Latin, but the resistance army pretended to be.

   "Finally deceived them, and then it's up to Master Vasily and them."

   "I hope everything goes well." For a while, the Resistance had a lingering fear. The man who appeared just now was the one who broke Constantinople a year ago.

   "Master Vasily asked us to find a safe place to hide, then let's leave here and wait for the news!"

   The Resistance Army who completed the task looked at each other and nodded, lifted the slate and left the tunnel according to the original plan. In order to preserve the fire of the resistance, Vasily did not decide to let everyone participate in the most dangerous action-ambush the Latin knight.

   But everyone knows that it will be a **** battle.
