Eagle Flag of Epirus

"Your Majesty, our reinforcements are here!"

"To shut up!"

When seeing Earl Senna leading an army to the battlefield, Alexander was not as ecstatic as the soldiers around him who thought reinforcements had arrived. Because at this time, the appearance of this man was undoubtedly too abnormal. As long as Senna disappeared on the previous battlefield, Alexander realized that there was something wrong.

On the other hand, Justinian also noticed the sudden appearance of an army behind Alexander, and as it appeared at the pace of its military appearance, Justinian frowned subconsciously. He doesn't like this unruly army, but he must admit that the military regulations are very light.

Because the banner hung in this army is very familiar to everyone, that is the Achaia flag, and it is not someone else who leads them is the Earl of Senna who suddenly disappeared on the previous battlefield, and they appeared at this time. Why is this here? Everyone's heart became tense for a while.

He already had a bad guess in his mind

At this moment, when Senna’s undamaged army appeared behind Alexander, the man’s face was confused and suspicious, and when he looked at the expressionless Earl Senna, he was staring at him. The ominous premonition once again fell on Alexander's heart.

The other party will definitely not come to help him!

But just as he was about to alert all his subordinates, he saw Count Senna raising the sword in his hand, and then a group of soldiers armed with crossbows in the Achaean army came out and aimed forward. But the target of these crossbowmen was not the Greeks, but the Latin army, who was looking at everything blankly.

not good!

Everything happened in front of him as he expected. Alexander shouted in his heart and was furious, but what happened too quickly was too late.

"Hidden! Hidden!"

When Alexander roared, the trigger of the crossbow had been pulled, and the Latin army who had not had time to react did not know what had happened. But even if they realized the danger in time, those who slept outside would be helpless after all.

One second was still awakening and encouraging the arrival of the friendly forces, and the next second was crossbow bolts pierced through the body. Immediately, most of the Latin army rears who were unprepared were killed and wounded, and the rain of arrows had just eased. I saw two cavalry on the two wings galloping towards their oblique rear, it was the cavalry of Achaia.

These warriors all belonged directly to the Earl of Senna himself, who were personally selected by him, and they were all warriors chosen from a hundred. The Achaean cavalry, armed with shields and lances, dressed in simple chain mail, slew towards Alexander's army. But at this time, Alexander had no crossbowmen able to stop the incoming cavalry charge, because most of them had lost their lives in the previous battle.

"kill"

These Achaean cavalry came from Catalonia and went to the east as mercenaries to make a fortune. It was for this reason that they were hired by the Count of Senna. Therefore, when these cavalry rushed into Alexander's barracks to massacre, they did not show any mercy.

"how so?!"

"why why!"

The screams of the war dead and the shouts of the survivors fleeing resounded across the sky. The Latin soldiers who were fighting the Roman cavalry had no idea that they would be stabbed from the back by the friendly army, especially the army of Alexander who was just shrouded in the rain of arrows. The casualties were heavy. Many of the noble knights riding on horses were shot and dropped, and among them was King Alexander himself who could not escape. At the time, the Latins were in chaos. Some soldiers watched his king fall off his horse. Soon this rumor spread throughout the army.

The fear spread by the rumors also created an opportunity for the Roman cavalry led by Justinian to break through the enemy's line. This scene was like when Norman conquered England. The two sides were in a stalemate, but the accidental death of Harald changed the outcome of the war. It's just that Alexander didn't fall into a careless decline like William, Duke of Normandy, and immediately returned to boost morale. In order to bandage the wound, the short time was wasted, which also determined the final direction of the war.

The Latin soldiers on the front line finally could not sustain the cavalry attack from both sides, not to mention the panic caused by the huge threat from the rear. Even the king's guards under Alexander finally couldn't resist the pressure and were broken through the line. First, the officers gave up resistance, and soon the soldiers lost their fighting spirit. In particular, the Achaean army, who were also French, chose to surrender and attack them, which was a heavy morale blow to the Latins. The kingdom's avant-garde had all fled, and the other stragglers naturally did not have the courage to resist. A series of chain reactions suddenly caused the balance on the battlefield to fall to Justinian's side.

"Initiate an attack and annihilate them!" Without waiting for Justinian's order, the excited Roman cavalry clamored and fought wildly, dragging the sword in their hands to reap among the chaotic Latin soldiers, every time they charged. , They can all take several lives.

The blood stained the ground, and the cavalry's iron hooves trampled on them, and the soldiers' bodies piled up like a mountain, and both sides paid a huge price.

Soon, Alexander's army completely lost the ability to resist. Under Justinian's command, the only remaining Latin army was surrounded by the onslaught of cavalry, and they became lambs to be slaughtered.

Watching this scene, Alexander only felt that the sky was dim, and he watched as he watched his uncle and his uncle's painstaking efforts to run the army so lost, he almost fainted.

The battle has entered a fierce battle. The dense formations of the Latin army attempt to form a wall to block the cavalry, but is there any effect in front of the heavy cavalry in the hands of Justinian. Only a light archer with a bow can not help the cavalry to sink heavily. Armor. The human wall collapsed, and over the spearmen, the cavalry chasing and killing the archers became a carnival, and the light infantry was quickly killed by the knights in the Latin army.

The lonely Latin army is constantly compressed and slaughtered, and fewer and fewer people can resist. Without a unified command, the soldiers fighting on their own are as vulnerable as market hooligans on the battlefield. The Achaean cavalry and the Roman cavalry completely destroyed the army in front of them at a small price.

The battle was slow and not slow, and in a blink of an eye, the Latin army was wiped out and only the last handful of people were the king's guards under Alexander's command. These tenacious soldiers were originally selected by Alexander from the Sicilian Crescent, and despite their different beliefs, they were very loyal. Therefore, the people who protect the Catholic king are a group of Catholic enemies. This scene is ridiculous.

They were able to survive not because they fought **** battles, but simply because Justinian did not order his soldiers to destroy them.

Alexander also saw this point, which in his opinion was tantamount to Justinian's humiliation to himself.

The man who kept his knight's honor was furious, and the unbearable Alexander resisted the guards in front of him, dragging his scarred body towards the Greek and Achaean troops that were surrounding him.

Alexander took off his helmet, took off his chain mail, and walked slowly.

"Senna, you despicable villain, you count me!" Looking at the Earl of Senna, who is standing in front of Justinian at this moment, Alexander finally realized that he fell into the trap of the opponent from the beginning of the war. Senna belonged to Justinian at all, that is to say, Justinian knew everything about his arrangement from beginning to end. It's no wonder he lost so thoroughly. He couldn't understand why Senna would do this, willing to surrender to the Greeks in front of him, knowing that Achaia was the first to lose in the hands of Justinian. It stands to reason that the hatred should be higher.

In the face of Alexander’s accusations, Earl Senna was very calm and said indifferently: "The calculations are not false, but they are not despicable. I am the retainer of the Marquis William, and his assisted son inherits Corinth. Naturally, I must be loyal Thing. Is your pretense of Corinth really as I didn’t notice it? I just made a small deal with the Greeks, and it’s your Lord who really got into this situation, didn’t you?”

The unruly heart towards Corinth was the main reason why Earl Senna chose to betray. As an illegitimate child, Charlie Chapulitt had insufficient legal principles. Alexander wanted to abolish his title. Therefore, Earl Senna finally made up his mind to rely on Chass. Tenny’s power resolved Alexander’s threat. As for the other things, Senna didn't care about it. What really counted as a loss was the destruction of several nobles attached to Achaia. Moreover, they had already entered a semi-independent state, and Count Senna wished them to be killed.

"Ha, very good, you are fine..." After receiving this answer, Alexander laughed blankly. He looked at the young Greek who was also looking at him at this time, and pointed the sword viciously.

"This time, I lost. I lost completely. I didn't even have the qualification to become your enemy and threaten you. But I don't accept it! I can succumb to the powerful force that defeated me, but I can never agree that I will lose. In the hands of you fox who can only play tricks and tricks. If you are still the empire warrior you call yourself, fight with me and speak with your real strength!"

Alexander held a broad sword in both hands and raised it in front of him to challenge Justinian sitting on the horse. This is not a ridiculous move. In fact, in the Middle Ages, from Western Europe to the Near East, duels of nobles during war were not uncommon. For example, the Nicaea Empire was facing the offensive of the Turks. It is said that Emperor Theodosius killed the Roma Sultan Kuth in a duel and solved a huge crisis.

Now, Alexander is also trying to make a comeback in this way, even if there is a glimmer of hope, he also wants to grasp it, as long as he can return to the city of Athens, he still has the possibility of a comeback.

But Justinian didn't mean to accept his challenge at all. No matter how provocative the other party, Justinian was unmoved. He looked at each other coldly, "Everything you and you are doing now is so funny. Including what you are thinking about now. Alexander, you said one thing wrong. You have never been my enemy. Qualifications. Otherwise, I would not let you go like that before outside Thessaloniki."

Such arrogant words were uttered from Justinian’s mouth without the slightest sense of disobedience. Because it was him, he was qualified to say such words, and the words and sentences were like sharp steel needles that directly poke the empty space. In the heart of the famous king, his last pride no longer exists at this time.

But then, what Justinian said completely made Alexander lose his composure.

I saw the sneered young man riding on the horse looking at Alexander, "Do you think you still have a chance to come back even if you retreat now? The city of Athens is no longer in your hands. Now you are truly landless. King."

"What are you talking about?" Alexander stared at Justinian, unable to believe what he heard. For the first time, Alexander thought it was the other party's bluffing. Even the Pope failed to find any false content from that face, but Justinian's unchanging expression did not show a trace of it. It's bluffing.

At this moment, the man seemed to think of something

"It's... a Pizza!"

"That's right? When you led the siege of Argos, the Pisa navy of Nafplio had already left for your nest, Athens. And you just wanted to take Argos down and lead me to the bait, where would you think of it? Then send someone to investigate the movement of the Pizza people." Justinian looked at the terrible expression on the man's face, with a hint of playfulness in his expression. When Senna had leaked the news of the Latin offensive to him before ~www.ltnovel.com~, he immediately grasped it.

The trembling man was furious. He finally understood the reason why Justin Ninafplion had been silent for a long time. It turned out to be so! If he went straight to Nafplio from the beginning, maybe he wouldn't be defeated so badly. But now it's too late to say anything.

Looking at Justinian on the horse, Alexander was no longer reserved, and the man who was already close to madness showed a cold solitary light in his eyes.

Kill this kid!

Clutching the sword in his hand, the Latin man lowered his body and suddenly rushed towards Justinian with his backhand. He wanted to kill Justinian with a single sword, and Alexander almost succeeded. Justinian, wearing heavy armor, can only choose to go lightly to show that he is in good shape. The broad sword in his hand swings towards Justinian’s neck and wants to kill the opponent in one fell swoop. At this time, a brand new change is also happening Came quietly.
