Eagle Flag of Epirus

The Byzantine army under the city did not immediately launch an offensive, although they had already made all the preparations for the offensive.

　　 There is a faint smell of gunpowder in the wind, and there is a force that makes people hard to breathe in the calm. The defenders in the city of Argos waited for the war to be extremely tormented. They were obviously scared but at this time there was an urge to start the war quickly, but the opponent has been silent.

　　 But Viscount Senna was not impatient, because he knew that the more the storm came, the calmer he would be. Now the other party has no action, just waiting for the opportunity to seal his throat with a sword. At this moment, he is also ready. An army of more than five thousand people will guard the city. Although Justinian once defeated thousands of Achaean troops in the Alfios River, this time It is completely different. The army under Senna is not the miscellaneous army in the hands of Baron Louis. If you want to attack this city, you will have to pay a painful price even if you rely on several times the force, not to mention Justinian's hand in this area. people.

　　 I don’t know how long it took, and finally a trumpet sounded in front of the Byzantine army, making everyone’s nerves tense at this moment. The war has finally started!

　　 But the Byzantine army did not initiate an assault. They carried the ladder and climbed to the tower to fight, but only saw the army from a distance slowly separated and gave way. And for a second, the scene before him made all the Latins standing on the wall look stiff and ugly.

"That's..." Seeing appearing under the city, Senafanis was stunned, and saw that the huge siege machine was slowly pushed forward by dozens of strong Byzantine soldiers, and this was the new sling captured from the Venetians. machine. Although the damage was severe when it was obtained, Genoa's help to repair it made Justinian finally possessed this weapon of siege. Although there are only two, this new type of counterweight catapult is a horrible disaster for any city defense, because this weapon was originally invented by the Eastern * to deal with the strong fortresses of the Crusaders, and passed through the northern Italian city-states. Improvement, the power is even more different. Think about it, even if it is a tall city wall like Jerusalem, the catapult can fly easily, not to mention the mere city of Argos!

　　 "Damn it!" The shocked Viscount Sena reacted and hurriedly stood on the city wall and shouted at the densely packed array below, ready to fight the army: "Disperse now and hide! The enemy has a trebuchet!"

But it was too late. The sound of the air being torn apart in the next second came from a distance, and then the counterweight trebuchet launched a huge boulder and an asphalt barrel, and the huge boulder slammed into it. In the urban residential area of ​​the crowd, the limbs were fragmented and flying, and the flames of burning asphalt also swallowed everything they passed. Watching this scene, people looked like they had seen the bible that Jehovah dropped sulfur and fire from the sky to Sodom. The scene with Gomorrah was so powerful as to destroy the city and all its residents, even the growth on the ground.

　　 Only then did I realize what Viscount Sena had just reminded. The army under the city spread out and concealed with the spreading fear, but this undoubtedly aggravated the previous chaos, and the affected city residents fled in all directions and were overcrowded.

　　 On the other side, the attack by the Byzantine army trebuchets outside the city is still continuing, and the walls of Argos are useless for this new type of war machine. But the Latins on the top of the city roared furiously, but there was nothing to do with the enemy. Justinian didn't mean to send an army to fight hard. It's just that the huge consumption of the trebuchet was amazing. After a while, only a half of the time-consuming and laborious boulders and the asphalt that were not obtained were left.

And Neusky also saw this, and he couldn’t understand Justinian’s intention to do so. Although the Latins were overwhelmed by such a fierce attack, it was undoubtedly to make the enemy in the city surrender. It is unrealistic. First of all, they will not be able to consume each other, and this will undoubtedly cause the casualties of the civilians in the city. Among them, many of the imperial people have to succumb to the Latins. It is clear that Justinian had promised himself before, and this What he did was not in line with his understanding of this young man.

"Justinian, we won't be able to support this for long! You don't want to go back so unsuccessfully. If the engineering troop does not have the firepower to suppress the equipment, it will cause huge losses. Order to stop the attack!" Finally couldn't bear it. Nevsky, who lives, had to remind Justinian of the terrible consequences of doing so.

　　 But Justinian remained unmoved. Instead, he continued to command the army to use all the new siege equipment to carry out an overwhelming long-range attack on the entire city of Argos, but for a long time he did not allow the follow-up troops to cover the siege again.

And this crazy way of fighting not only made Neusky and other subordinates puzzled~www.ltnovel.com~, but Viscount Senna, who was checking the movement on the city’s head, also looked at the enemy’s reaction in surprise, not understanding. Why is the other party doing this?

I saw that the Byzantine army was also deployed separately at this time, which made Senafanis even more incredible. The soldiers manipulating the siege equipment were close to the limit of range at the forefront, while the infantry and cavalry at the rear were not only in coordinated formation, but also Also separated far away. In particular, the heavy cavalry of the Greeks even got off their horses, while the black and overwhelming horses were crowded and unprepared to fight at any time.

　　 What is going on? What exactly do the Greeks want to do? These questions were revolving rapidly in Senafanis' mind, but the repeated bombardment of the trebuchets made him feel distressed.

"Damn it! Is it possible that their slings and asphalt can't be used up? These madmen!" Cenarfanis murmured to himself. Now he can't sit still, even if Yicheng insists on facing such fierceness. The attack is too much to bear, especially since the opponent hasn't run out of asphalt boulders until now, it is not a way to allow the panic in the city to spread as needed.

　　 "Baptiste, follow me!" The man who finally made a decision suddenly stood up and roared.

　　 "Master Senna, what are you...what are you doing?" Baptiste was taken aback by seeing his lord's reaction, and he didn't know what Viscount Cenafanis wanted to do at this time.

　　 The next second, Viscount Senna's words shocked him.

　　 "Count all the knights and cavalry to go with me, destroy the Greeks' siege equipment! The infantry responded from both sides of the city gates, circled around and stormed, and defeated these **** Greeks in one fell swoop!"
