Eagle Flag of Epirus

"The Eagle Flag of Epirus (

The burning waves raged in the bay of Thessaloniki, and everyone was stunned by the violent burning. What could produce such a terrifying power, so that the Venetians thought that the flames from **** would swallow them.

"God, please save your people!"

Accompanied by the violent shouts, the closest Venetian warship was overturned. The broken keel was wrapped in the air wave and turned into dangerous blades, and the sailors and soldiers on the ship were crushed into pieces, even those far away. On the ship, such a shocking scene also caused many people to fight on two legs.

"Oh my God!"

The ship was full of surprises, but Ranieri was the only one who witnessed all this without shock in his eyes, but anger and hatred. All this happened to him is simply too familiar! In Fort Wiscari in the Peloponnese, he was invited to attack the remaining Byzantine nobles with Achaia, and suffered exactly the same loss at sea. Unexpectedly, Justinian was not here this time, but the **** thing was actually controlled by the defenders in the city, causing him to stumble in the same place again.

New Greece fire-as early as after he left Peloponnese, Ranieri had been ordering people to investigate the news. Later, Justinian used this secret weapon to defeat the enemy in many battles. After seeing it with his own eyes, Ranieri believes that this thing is more amazing than the ancient Greek firepower of Constantinople.

It's just that this time it's different, the army he brought is so many! The Greeks and Turks in the city could not stop him only by relying on the New Greece fire. After suffering a loss, Ranieri could no longer be fooled.

I saw the embarrassed Venetian nobleman gritted his teeth and said: "Hmph, still struggling, I want to see how long you can support it!" Determined to take this city, Ranieri was not willing because of temporary frustration. To give up, instead aroused the madness in this Dandoro's heart, and at the same time, Ranieri also had a trace of greed in his heart for the secret weapon called "New Greek Fire". If he could offer it to his motherland, he would surely be able to regain his position in the Senate.

Thinking of this, the Venetian man made waves in his heart, but a loud shout in front of him brought his thoughts back to reality.

"Master Dandora, look!" exclaimed, the panicked sailors were not pointing in the direction of the burning warship, but the fierce water gate.

At this time, the fierce battle had passed for several hours, and from the night to dawn, the east had gradually turned white. On the ship, Ranieri was able to finally see the fierce battle ahead. Although there was no follow-up support, the Bulgarian and Epirus coalition forces that had landed had already occupied the upper hand in the battle for Watergate.

But at first sight, the ownership of Thessaloniki Sea Wall was about to change hands. When the southern gateway was about to open, drastic changes occurred without warning. In the otherwise calm bay, the turbid waves suddenly jumped toward you. The siege troops without any defense.

It turned out that when Arslan ordered the use of a trebuchet to ignite the merchant ships colliding with gunpowder in the port, he also asked the Macedonian militiamen who were still struggling below to withdraw from the Watergate Promenade. Of course he did not take the initiative to abandon the portal to the Sea Wall of Thessaloniki, but had another plan. The Macedonian peasants who were ordered then fought and retreated out of the water gate. At the same time, they removed the embankment that was blocked in the inner city river channel with sand bags. The current of the original barrier suddenly surged, and the water channel in the water gate suddenly came in. Soaring.

On the other hand, the Epirus and Bulgarians who were close together were all going crazy and wanting to invade Thessaloniki, without even noticing the danger.

When they realized it, the inverted sea water instantly submerged the entire water gate promenade. Poor, in fear, Epirus soldiers and Bulgarian soldiers rushed to escape, and even killed each other in order to survive, but the back and forth were blocked, and there was no chance of escape. There were also people who wanted to smash the iron gate of the water gate with a siege hammer, but they were powerless in the waves of the sea, and soon drowned in despair.

Seeing all of this happening, Ranieri Dandoro realized the true purpose of the other party! The purpose of the merchant ships blown up with gunpowder is not to cause threat or injury at all, but to use the shipwreck in the bay to cause the high tide in the harbor. In addition, the city itself is first to throttle a part of the inland river, which seems to be a weak sea wall from beginning to end. The gate is a trap.

More than a hundred people of Epirus and the Bulgarian coalition forces who suffered heavy casualties drowned in the rising waters, while the rest of them got lucky to swim up but became the living targets of Vadarutai and Turkic shooters on the wall.

General Epirus, who couldn't stand it, offered to withdraw his troops, but Ranieri relentlessly rejected it~www.ltnovel.com~ If this continues, it will only increase casualties! "

"The decision to command the battle is in my hand, and it was promised by Emperor Mikhail himself."

"But none of the dead people belong to your Venice. Of course you don't feel bad about it!"

The desperate general drew his sword, but the sailors around Ranieri Dandolo were not to be outdone, and they also showed off their weapons. At this juncture, the Venetians also knew that there was no need to continue the fight. Morale had collapsed. However, Epirus and the Bulgarians were unbalanced, and it was indeed impossible to continue the attack. But when he met Ranieri, who was stupid, he couldn't swallow his breath when the attack failed, let alone order the withdrawal of troops.

It wasn't until this time that the scout broke the deadlock with news that suddenly came.

"Your Excellency, it's not good!"

"What's the matter?" Suddenly, seeing the scout's face panicked, Ranieri Dandolo had a bad feeling, and the report immediately confirmed his guess.

"A large fleet appeared on the sea to the southwest, and they are coming towards us!"

"What, is it a Greek?"

Taking a breath of air, not taking care of his face, the panicked Venetian man grabbed the scout in front of him to confirm and ask, if it was true, then they might be enemies here at this time.

He only listened to the stuttering reconnaissance scouts, and barely clarified: "No...no...It's the Greeks, your lord, it should be the Genoese fleet."

When this news came, Ranieri’s ears were like a bolt from the blue. Although it was not a Greek navy, the arrival of the uninvited Genoese was definitely a big trouble for him.
