Eagle Flag of Epirus

Vol 5 Chapter 60: Bloody fight

"Taking up the weapons in your hands, are you willing to become the weak and incompetent Greeks among the Latin population? Now you are not in the blood of why **** kings and **** emperors fight here, this is your war, the Latins ravaged The land belongs to you, not to me as a Turkic. You are talking behind the scenes that I am a heretic, so what do you voters who claim to be blessed by God have more than me? Use your actions to prove it to me Look!" Murad said this in an almost acrid tone, and without looking back, he boarded the camp to meet the Latins who had come over.

   And these words greatly humiliated the Roman soldiers behind Murad. Immediately a soldier joined him behind him without a helmet, and a few soldiers followed up without saying a word. There are more and more people, even if they fight side by side with the Turkic people, there is no hesitation. When they boarded the camp, the team that followed Murad was preparing to meet doubled. The clever Turkic man trapped them with words. If I go to the battlefield, you have to keep up, otherwise you will think you are inferior to a Turkic heretic.

Just listen to Murad standing high, not avoiding arrows, shining on the archers behind him and let out a loud roar: "The enemy forwards do not have heavy armor units, so feel free to shoot! Defeat their forwards and let them lose all their energy. ! At this time, there is no need to be stingy with your bows and arrows, and pour it out to your enemies as much as you want!"

   At the forefront is the mercenary group hired by the Principality of Athens from Iberia. Although brave and good at fighting, the lack of armor is the biggest weakness. After seeing this, Murad immediately issued an unquestionable order. And the archers did not hesitate at this time, pulling the short bow in their hands to shoot a deadly rain of arrows.

After speaking, I saw a few arrows, leaving the bowstring quickly, and swiftly setting off a torrential rain. Many Latins were caught off guard and were shot to the ground. Some people covered the wounds on their foreheads and necks, squatted in pain, and some squatted down in pain. Lowering their bodies and hiding in the siege equipment, they didn't expect at all that they had no effect at all with the corpses projected in the place just now, but instead angered the opponent and ushered in a more violent counterattack.

   However, at this moment, a cruel war has undoubtedly started. No matter whether the previous intentions of the two sides have been achieved or not, now they have no retreat.

   For a time, the attack of the Latins was interrupted by the tenacious resistance of the Byzantine army, but Murad's sudden appearance of commanding the army caused hostility among many people.

Although it has reached the last juncture, Murad's unauthorized mobilization of the army has aroused the envy of many people. The Roman legionary generals who watched this scene felt as if they were insulted, because in their eyes the lowly pagan Turkic people had no peace at all. They have equal qualifications. But for some reason, since the arrival of Justinian of Ilovan Castle, Prince Theodor seems to have changed a lot of these Turks’ attitudes, even seeing Murad arbitrarily dispatch the army at this moment. There is no indication, all this is acquiesced.

   But at this moment, Theodor Dukas sighed in his heart that he had no one in his hands, so that it was this Turkic man who was truly worthy and able to stand alone.

The war is still going on and the situation of stalemate has not slowed down because of the first round of resistance. I saw the Latins braving the arrow rain with the ladder to attack the city and quickly pressed towards the Byzantine camp. . The Roman army that had regained morale was also unambiguous. Anyway, there was nothing lacking in the Acropolis, except for stones and rolling logs, and they used these things to smash the Latin Allied forces, and none of them flinched.

Seeing all this, the Baron Vernier, Marquis Gottfrey, and Duke Otto, who commanded the attack, could not help but frown slightly. Things were completely beyond their expectations. According to the initial plan, the morale was already The Greek army, which is about to collapse, should look like a camel overwhelmed by the last straw when it sees the body of its compatriots, without the courage to resist. But what greeted them was the opponent's tenacious defense.

"how so?"

   "I don't know, Your Excellency Vernier, it was obvious that these Greeks were vulnerable before, but now they seem to have been beaten in blood."

   "Maybe the fall of Constantinople has really awakened this former giant. After all, they are indeed the real Romans, the people that once ruled from sea to sea in the past!"

"Even so, so what, for them, the glory of the past is over, and what they are doing now is just a dying struggle." Saien Venier, who said coldly, gave a wink~www.ltnovel.com ~ And the ready soldiers behind him blew the horn.

I saw that on the southern coast of the Acropolis hills, the Venetian fleet sailing from the port of Piraeus finally arrived here and put into the battlefield. As the killer of the Baron Vernier, they are equipped with a new type of stone thrower on board. Not only the range is longer, but the power is also stronger.

At the same time, the Roman army that was defending in the camp also noticed this threat, but the warships in Venice were already throwing pitch barrels with trebuchets on the shore. Everyone who saw this scene had to retreat temporarily to find hiding Think of it as a cover. At this time, the Byzantine defense was completely interrupted, and the Latin Allied forces, which had not encountered any further resistance, also completely let go of their hands and feet. Advancing vigorously, and putting the ladder on the wooden wall, a large number of Latins swarmed up. There is no doubt that it is only a matter of time before the wall falls! The helpless Roman soldiers could only kill them again with their weapons.

   Murad led the soldiers to reorganize, "Wedge-shaped queue," he instructed. As soon as the voice fell, the commando with tacit understanding formed the spearhead, and he was the spearhead. Now they have no way to retreat, no matter whether Justinian’s reinforcements can rush over, it is too late, but because of this, they have no way to retreat. It is better to be desperate than to wait for death.

   While watching all this with a sneer on his face, Vernier also showed a smile, and as expected, these Greeks have reached the end of the force, and the trapped beasts are still fighting. But just when everyone thought that everything would be over completely, the Latin suddenly heard an astonishing momentum coming from behind him. Everyone turned around subconsciously but saw a cavalry behind them at some point!
