Eagle Flag of Epirus

"Withstand the attack!" The Venetian was obviously caught off guard by this sudden attack, and before the confrontation between the two sides began, the two most elite heavy sailing warships under their command were inexplicably blown into fragmented wreckage. This not only greatly weakened the strength of the Venetian navy but also dampened their morale. The Venetian, who was extremely afraid of this, only dared to counterattack with long-range weapons such as bows and arrows to keep away from the opponent in front of him, for fear that the scene that happened before would reappear on him.

However, this widening distance greatly weakened the Venetian's advantage in naval battles, because Justinian’s men were not only good at archery in the Balkans, but also Italian mercenaries equipped with new crossbows.

For a time, the arrows were like a rain of locusts, and the sailors on the deck on both sides had to hide behind the shields to avoid the dangerous arrows, but there were still some people who were killed by Liu Shi without paying attention. After all, it is very difficult to avoid bows and arrows on a small deck, but in order to prevent the enemy from taking the opportunity to take the side, no one dare to step back.

"Are you okay, Lord Justinian!" The previous wave of shots almost spread to the battleship Justinian was on. A bow and arrow flew past Justinian's neck, making everyone squeeze. Got a cold sweat.

But Justinian, who was lingering in his heart, touched his blood-stained neck but did not hide in a safe place, and said indifferently: "Don't worry, I'm fine!"

Looking at the sea that has fallen into the flames of war, he has never been as calm as he is now. Although there have been clashes with Croatian pirates before, but after all, he is not the same as now. There are many things Justinian lacks, one of which is the inevitable naval battle with the Venetians in the future.

Although the sea has been a battlefield for mankind for thousands of years, before the advent of the gunpowder age, the pattern of naval battles was still monotonous and lacking changes. It is nothing more than bow shooting, battleship collision, and ship-to-board warfare. The Venetians are great, but the navy they use this time is really limited, and Justinian, with the assistance of the Pizzas, fought against the Venetian navy for a while.

And this completely shocked everyone on the shore, especially Prince Theodor who had just come out to see this scene. He never expected that the incredible Venetian navy would be hit so hard.

"This...what the **** is going on?!" Looking at the scene before him, Prince Theodor also showed an incredible expression. Although he had a glimmer of hope before, he never expected Justinian and him. Actually, the reinforcements will appear on the battlefield in this form. Originally thought he was seeking his own way, but the kid named Justinian really reversed the situation in front of him.

This was far beyond his imagination, but the more important thing was that the Venetian army, which should have been invincible at sea, faced a sudden attack by the navy led by Justinian, but it showed a slight decline and was difficult to fight against.

This scene fell in the eyes of the Roman soldiers on the hills of the Acropolis, and there was a burst of joyful cheers. They were originally ordered to abandon the pursuit, and their military spirit suddenly rose, and they stood up and asked for a fight. After all, they were early at this moment. The fire, who had already held back his stomach, wondered how to take revenge on the enemy in front of them.

"His Royal Highness, it's time to give orders!" Murad asked, looking at Theodor Dukas who was on the side. Now with the arrival of a large number of reinforcements led by Justinian, the situation has also happened for a while. The change, this time is undoubtedly a great opportunity to take the initiative to attack a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The Latin Allied Forces are already in chaos, and perhaps it is not impossible to reverse the situation, and they can even take the opportunity to retreat from the sea, no matter how bad they are.

And Prince Theodor no longer had any hesitation at this moment. Since the reinforcements led by Justinian had really arrived, there was no need to carefully preserve strength.

I saw the man pulled out the saber around his waist and raised it above his head, "Warriors of the empire, take up your weapons to punish the invaders who are ravaging our country. As the prince of the empire, I order you to attack with all your strength!"

Theodore's voice just fell, and suddenly a burst of cheers from the mountains and the tsunami suddenly remembered that it had burst out, and the Roman soldiers who had been waiting for a long time were already gearing up.

I saw that the imposing formations came out of the heavy infantry who was the forefront of the Roman army. They were the elite of the elite trained by Theodor Ducas in Agrinon, and they were often made by the strong. Formed by Norman mercenaries, they are known for their bravery and fearlessness to death. Theodore also equipped them with sophisticated armor and equipment, and the salary after each battle was very generous, and the use of sophisticated shields and iron axes was specially set up to break the formation. When these heavily armed infantry appeared in front of the Latin coalition army, the soldiers of Achaia and the soldiers of the Principality of Athens, who had been unstable because of the disappearance of the rear flag, were also panicked~www.ltnovel.com~just just now. Upon contact, the formation collapsed in an instant.

The battle axe not only tears the formation, but also makes the flesh and blood fly, which even an army made of steel is difficult to resist for a while. More importantly, due to the location of the hills of the Acropolis, the Roman army that took the initiative at this moment was completely condescending and unstoppable.

On the contrary, the Latin coalition forces, because they had the initiative in the war before, ignored the battlefield. At this moment, the plain area they retreated to is a natural place for infantry to play a melee, especially now occupying the upper charge. The Greeks are even more dominant. In addition, they encountered an attack in the rear, and the military was unstable, and the balance of the war was finally reversed.

And the huge crisis also made the Baron Vernier and others who were originally immersed in the joy of winning with fear. In the sound of killing and the smoke, the banner of the cross was finally re-established, but due to the scene that happened just now, morale has inevitably suffered. Hit hard. The Turkic cavalry who had just been repelled by them also quickly turned around, rushed up the hillside, and escaped from the close fight with the Latin Allied Forces. They took advantage of their speed and quickly got rid of the chase of the Latin cavalry. The knights of Achaia and the Principality of Athens were also worried that they would lie in ambush for a while and would not dare to pursue it. They turned around immediately and used the compound bow that they were particularly good at. With bows and arrows, the Turkic cavalry fired waves of arrows that weakened morale and lives against the Latin coalition soldiers who were in a dilemma rushing down the hillside, making the Latin army even more short of breath.

"It's Lord Justinian, he is finally here!" Captain Leo, who led Arslan out of the siege, panted, and when he heard the deafening explosion, he had guessed that the reinforcements from the sea had finally come Has arrived at the battlefield.
