Eagle Flag of Epirus

On the ridges on the outskirts of Argos, the northern border town of Moria, the sharp broad swords of the cavalry were rising, and they were fighting each other into a melee. The limbs and head were chopped off, blood flew up several feet, and the corpse fell under their own horse hooves. Although it was only a small-scale troop encounter, the two sides took a fateful posture.

In the end, the offensive side chose to withdraw from the battlefield voluntarily, seeing no advantage. The cavalry urged the horse's hooves, pulled the reins, and galloped away first, while holding a compound bow in his hand, spreading out and hitting a feather arrow, as if boasting of his riding skills, turned back and shot at the enemy chasing behind.

The soldiers on the other side did not continue pursuing, and stopped fighting and let the enemy leave. The village was full of wailing sounds at this time, and these Byzantine peasants threw themselves on the bodies of their relatives and wept in tears. When they were still working in the fields, they were attacked by the mercenary cavalry of the Latin side. By the time the army garrisoned by Argos arrived, it was too late and the casualties were heavy. This scene happened in Justinian's eyes. How many times has this happened? The little aristocrats of Achaia have become more and more unscrupulous. Before they have completed their assembly, a small number of troops have crossed the border to burn and looting towns and villages controlled by Justinian. This is a demonstration and provocation by the Latins, and even more intimidation.

"Master Justinian, you should have let us play!" The guards beside them were furious. They hated the Latins, if it were not for the order, they would have paid the price of blood.

But Justinian ignored him: "An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, but not now. If you attack without permission, it will only reveal our whereabouts." Justinian, who came here, arranged for the last Deployment, and all this must be done in secret

"Yes, we understand, Lord Justinian!" Although still a little unwilling, the guards gave up their plans to attack for the sake of the overall situation.

And Justinian looked at the vast countryside in front of him, his expression slightly low. The entry harassment of the scout cavalry from Achaia just now has become the norm in the past few days, which means that Earl Senna of Corinth has indeed assembled the army according to his instructions.

Then it also means that the time limit for the final battle is getting closer and closer, and at that time, the power of the Latins in this land can be completely uprooted by a battle to determine the universe. It was just that the people on the border were suffering. In order to paralyze the Latins, Justinian could only choose to sit back and let the enemy plunder the villages and towns.

"This won't last long..." Justinian whispered quietly in the wind, as if talking to himself, and as if making an ultimatum to the arrogant enemy in front of him. .

...

A few days later, outside the city of Argos, the mighty Latin army was gathering here. There are five thousand elite soldiers in the vanguard. They were commanded by the current Grand Duke Maximilian of Athens. After receiving the order of King Alexander, he led his army to Argos, and immediately divided into three-wing soldiers and surrounded him. Because this is the gateway to Nafplio, if Nafplio, which is surrounded by mountains and seas, is attacked, it will definitely suffer heavy casualties, but if you take it first, Nafplio's topographical advantage will be weakened by more than half.

I saw Maximilian order his knights to bring five hundred heavy cavalry, holding the cross flag, sweeping everything outside the city to ensure that all Argos's defenders were suppressed in the city.

On the other side, he sent another thousand infantrymen to cut down trees in the woods on the west side, while the remaining troops set up camps and built fortifications.

This scene is all in the eyes of the defenders in the city of Argos at this moment. The veteran of the empire, Carrods, is responsible for guarding here. Although he is unknown, he was exceptionally promoted because of his feats when he put down the northern rebellion. He could see the purpose of the other party at a glance-the Latins did not rush to attack the city, but set up camps, indicating that they still have a large army afterwards. If they were allowed to stand up, Argos City would be really dangerous. As for the thousand Latin soldiers who disappeared from the field of vision and entered the woods, I am afraid that they were not in charge of any duties, but were cutting wood to prepare siege equipment.

This will never work! Carrods made a decision, they must take the initiative!

In the city of Argos, there were only less than five hundred defenders, but the Carrods led a three-hundred horse infantry out of the city at one time.

And looking at such a small number of people, Maximilian, who was in charge of the command, was completely stunned, just when he thought that the defenders of Argos City were going to take the initiative to surrender.

The Roman army suddenly launched an offensive, "For the empire, for the homeland, assault with me. Destroy the Latin dogs!" The battlefield veteran raised his arms ~www.ltnovel.com~Hundreds of lightly armored cavalry without any armor, under his leadership Attacked on the unsuspecting Latins.

"What?" Maximi was surprised, and when he reacted, it was too late. Because he had just stood on his heels, he arranged the army too scattered. There were only less than a thousand Latin soldiers in three directions, and Argos's defenders suddenly attacked one side with ease, and the overwhelmed Latins naturally couldn't stand it.

"Call someone to pass the order and let the cavalry come and destroy them." Realizing his miscalculations, Maximi said with a panic-under the hasty formation, the army was suddenly attacked and morale was so low that he couldn't let so much more. The chaotic people return to normal order. At this time, he could only allow the left-wing infantry and the forward heavy cavalry to encircle and cut off the return path of the Greeks retreating to the city.

But what they didn't expect was that the Byzantine soldiers did not return the same way. Instead, they charged towards the Latin army in the woods with the command of Carrodsay "Charge me!"

"Kill—" The Greek cavalry didn't care about the integrity of the formation, and rushed forward, completely without the commander's wrong demonstration. However, this made this team achieve unexpected results. Before the soldiers who felled in the woods could react, they were crossed by swords and spears and horseshoes. One or two hundred people were killed in an instant. They didn't even think about weapons. Without thinking, he fled out of the woods.

The Maximilian who saw this scene was even more furious. He commanded his army to pursue the pursuit, but only his cavalry followed, but there was no benefit to this wrong pursuit.

In the end, the light cavalry galloping in the enemy line, led by the Carrod Race, smoothly surrendered, forcing the Latins to abandon their positions and retreat for a few miles to set up camp again.
