Eagle Flag of Epirus

Vol 5 Chapter 19: First move (below)

After Hendryer promised to help leave Tripolis, Justinian led the army to preemptively, from Tripolis all the way to Argos City, and there was no Latina on the way. Any response, obviously the enemy had never expected him to make such an astonishing move.

It was just that when Justinian soldiers approached the city, he noticed something wrong, that is, the defensive power of Argos City was obviously much stronger than before. It stands to reason that Justinian’s operation should be very well planned, and it is impossible for the other party to detect it in advance.

"It seems that this time, the Latins, like us, have already estimated that the two sides have been unable to restrain themselves, and they have begun to prepare to fight hard, but it is a pity that we are the first to take the lead this time." Justinian looked at Argo, who was already on guard. Sicheng did not feel annoyed at all, but on the contrary behaved very calmly.

This time, the army led by Justinian was composed of Moriah’s new army and the Agrinion army. They fought in concert. Although the number of strikers Justinian was not large, their combat effectiveness was not large. Guaranteed.

"Are you really ready? Obviously the defenders of Argos City are already prepared. If we attack by force, I'm afraid we won't be able to take advantage of it." At this moment, Nevsky said indifferently. Said that, in fact, he did not approve of Justinian’s decision. Although this young man defeated Achaia at the Alfios River, the Latin vigor was still there and he wanted to replicate his previous victory. It is by no means that easy. And even with the support of the army from Agrinon, it is bound to take a lot of risk to deal with the Latins who have been entrenched here for a long time.

But at this moment Justinian has already made his own decision, "I understand what you mean, Nevsky, you are just worried that I will become a cat from the fire, but Theodor wants to get it out of my hands. Stealing cooked chestnuts is not that simple.” Of course, he understood that Prince Theodor was using her to contain Achaia to avoid worries, but was he not using the other party himself? If you only control a corner of the southern Peloponnese, it is far from enough for Justinian. The reason why the Moria nobles support him is because of Anastasius, but it is after all Temporarily, so he must master the entire Moriah to be able to master the whole situation.

At this time, Justinian's army was also ready before the war.

"Master Justinian, everything has been arranged, please give your order!" Oncoming is the commander-in-chief of Agrinon, Kok Botta. Compared with Zeodoro Cephalon, he Obviously, the attitude towards Justinian is more respectful and obedient, directly acknowledging Justinian's status as the supreme commander. All were set up, and the Byzantine army under the city was waiting for Justinian's order.

"In this case, let's start!" Just listen to Justinian slowly speaking, and this seemingly understatement meant that a war was about to be officially set off.

At the same time, on the other side, the entire city of Argos was in panic. People did not expect that the Romans would take the initiative to attack. It was clear that the previous contract between the two parties had not been torn down, but it was clear that the army went deep into Achaia. The borders of the country are unkind.

At this moment, the front of the city of Argos has become a battlefield. The nervous Viscount Senna immediately ordered a general mobilization of the city, and then archers boarded the city wall, and soldiers armed with shields and spears stood in front of the city gate. Today's Latins have gone through the previous crisis and have thoroughly understood that although the Roman Empire has declined, their pride has awakened because of this war. They are no longer the vulnerable Greeks. Wanting to smash the olive grove and defeat thousands of Roman armies with hundreds of people has become an eternal past, the sleeping behemoth of the Roman Empire finally woke up.

To this day, the Latin army dare not be negligent. They have seen and heard everything that happened in the south, and they dared not come out because they were staring at the Byzantine army that had not launched a general offensive under the city.

Because they found that the enemy they were facing was an existence that they had not seen before in Constantinople, heavy armored cavalry with high-speed impact and hand-to-hand combat, and Turkic Tatar light cavalry who were good at attacking, and even The crossbow troops of this force seem to be mercenaries from Italy. The opponent is equipped with a new crossbow like himself. This new weapon from Northern Italy not only has great lethality, but also can be responsible for suppressing and controlling the field~www.ltnovel.com~When the crossbowman is released When the machine is closed, the rain of arrows fired can make the enemy on the battlefield unable to raise their heads, which is unmatched by the traditional single bow. At this moment, Viscount Senna, who was still full of confidence in the war before, couldn't help showing a solemn look on his face.

"Not so good! When did they actually have such a terrifying power?"

Sir Baptiste on the side could not help but guess: "It seems that Epirus should have been aware of our intentions... Your Excellency Senna, what should we do now?" Obviously, it happened to Macedonia. And everything, whether it is Greeks or Latins, is keenly aware of the importance of Moria's position. They want to be quick to Justinian, but why not the other party?

"Prepare to fight!" Although watching the Roman army coming this time violently, the opponent's strength far exceeded his previous estimates, but Senna was not timid because of this. Together with the original defenders of Argos, the number exceeded five thousand. Man, as long as he is a little cautious, he doesn't think he will easily repeat the mistakes of the Tripolis garrison.

"But my lord, this time the enemy has already prepared again. Shall we send someone to Corinth for help first?" Baptiste suggested with some anxiety, although the man in front of him is no longer as contemptuous of the Greeks as he did before. , But after seeing the terrible thing of that kid named Justinian, he still felt a little nervous in his heart.

But his words were interrupted by Viscount Senna:

"Baptiste, I understand what you are afraid of. As a soldier, you can be cautious, but being too cautious makes you intimidated! Let everyone prepare to fight!"

In the voice of Viscount Senna, this time he assembled and mobilized all the troops and finally showed his sharp teeth, and a war was about to start.
