Eagle Flag of Epirus

Vol 7 Chapter 55: Decisive battle (in)

Breaking down the Greeks-this is also the common idea of ​​all Serbs, as long as the first line of defense of Moria's army is broken, then there will be massacres next. At this moment, the rain curtain that fell in the sky seemed to be torn apart by the lances in the hands of the Serbian cavalry. They rushed to the array of the Greeks. They were determined to win, just to divide more spoils after victory. This was also a compromise between them and the Latin lady. The main reason.

When the Serbs were about to rush into the Roman army, a small army of small size suddenly stood up and lined up. This was a team that the Latins had never seen before. Facing the coming enemy army, they didn’t panic. They saw that these soldiers were holding a long-handled crescent axe in one hand and an unremarkable iron in the other. The tube is holding oil paper at the front end. Under the strange gaze of the Serbs, the army did not take up the battle axe to fight against it, but put a long or short iron pipe on the top of the crescent battle axe inserted on the ground-the black hole nozzle aimed at Serbia cavalry.

When the Greeks pointed the nozzle of the black hole at themselves, although the Serbs had never seen anything in the hands of the other party, a sense of horror suddenly came. In their subconsciousness, they immediately realized that their daughter, Blue Poison, was so big, why didn't they take it away?

Danger! The vigilant thoughts passed through their minds, but when they reacted, it was too late.

During the heavy rain, the Roman firecracker took out the dry flint in his arms, wiped out a spark, and ignited the fuse immediately. At this moment, the fireblade wrapped in oiled paper spewed out a dazzling fire, and the violent potential energy shot the lead projectile at the unsuspecting Serbian cavalry.

However, the guns were not aimed at people, but at the unarmored horses below.

The loud "bang" sound caught the Serbian cavalry off guard. Although the power of the early firecrackers was not very impressive, the task of the Roman firecrackers was not to shoot the cavalry on the opposite side, but to frighten Serbia who had never met the firecrackers before. War horse.

And sure enough, after a volley of fire, the Serbian was in chaos in an instant, and the frightened horse jumped up without the rider's control and overturned his master directly to the ground.

The cavalry whose charge was interrupted did not react at all to what had happened. When they came back to their senses, what was oncoming was the crescent tomahawk that was slashed by the Roman firecrackers. I saw the Roman soldiers rushing forward, slashing the cavalry up and down the horse's legs, it was like a massacre. In an instant, the morale of the Serbs collapsed, and the cavalry who could spur the horses went crazy and generally did not dare to turn around and flee in a hurry. On the other hand, Alexander, who was still commanding the army, did not know that this scene had happened, and still tried to crush the formation of the Roman army head-on.

…………

The battle between the Roman army and the Latin coalition army has become fierce. The two sides forming the shield wall pushed each other with their shields, thrusting their long swords and spears into the gap and stabbing them hard.

In a small space, an army of tens of thousands of people spread out, making it impossible for everyone to stretch out their fists. This is a battle of courage and tenacity on both sides. When they began to raise their shields and spears and charge towards the enemy in front of them, they had no choice but to retreat. Both sides have staked their lives. This is a big gamble, as long as whoever loses the gamble will lose everything.

Looking at this scene, Alexander is determined to win. Although the Serbian cavalry in the rear has been silent after receiving the signal, even if the raid fails, he is confident that he will eliminate the Greeks here.

This is indeed a big bet, but he has far more chips in his hand than the opponent. As long as the Greek makes a slight mistake, this victory is destined to belong to him.

Cross Royal Flag. Alexander and the Earl of Senna next to him were intently watching the changing situation of the battle. "Our army obviously has the advantage in numbers, but there is no way to defeat the Greeks." Alexander whip and hate.

In this regard, Earl Senna said lightly: "That's because these Greeks are no longer the remnants of the original defeat. Your Majesty, under the leadership of the little fox of Moria, they have become our most dangerous enemy. ."

"Of course I know this, otherwise I would not come here to direct the battle, order everyone to attack, avenge all the dead before us, and destroy these Greek cowards!" Alexander roared and drove the Malays personally. Before arriving in the army, everyone was agitated, and under his encouragement, the Latin soldiers also rolled forward, fighting with the Roman soldiers. At this moment, the rain finally subsided, and a ray of sunlight was still on people's heads on the cloudy battlefield. But in the eyes of the red-eyed soldiers, the light had already disappeared and was replaced by the scarlet of the killing. Even after a heavy rain, the smell of blood in the air did not abate at all.

The killing sound shook the sky, and the fierce battle between the Romans and the Latins in the south continued. Although the number of Latins had an advantage, it was difficult to distinguish the victory or defeat for a time. In the city of Argos, the defenders also heard it. The movement made me feel worried.

Especially for Carrods, when he knew that what he was most worried about had happened, he couldn't help but want to go out of the city to respond, but in the end he was dissuaded by his subordinates. Because although most of the main Latin forces have been transferred to the south, there is still a Latin army surrounding Argos at this moment. With their hands, the initiative to attack is simply to die.

"We must go and rescue Lord Justinian!"

"But Master Carrods, please calm down, can you please! With our people, there is no way to control the battle. Even if we don't care about life and death, we have to consider the civilians in the city!" Old John reminded, Latin people. Burning, killing and looting were their painful memories not long ago.

Obviously, Carrods was unwilling to repeat things like that, so he gritted his teeth and chose to give up.

"Damn, these vicious and cunning Latin dogs!"

However, Carrodsey's heart is struggling at the moment. They finally ushered in a new master. Under his leadership, Moriah's army now has nothing to do with the past. And now, he and his army are in danger, but he can only watch it like this.

…………

Although the battle situation in the narrow southwestern plain seems to be still stalemate, everyone in their hearts has acquiesced that the Roman army is about to usher in defeat. But what they don't know is that at this moment, they are the ones who are sitting on the sidelines. Looking down from the mountain, Justinian watched Neusky's army of Moria and the enemy's array. Staggering and fighting each other, people wielded various weapons and killed each other. In the chaos, the blood even stained their robes could not distinguish each other.

"The number of enemy troops dominates. If this continues, Nevsky will definitely be unable to support it. The field and border troops on the two wings are already a bit unsupported, Lord Justinian! It's time for us to appear." Uss once again asked to fight, and this was the wish of all the Roman soldiers behind him. Argos's burden is very small now, there is only a group of shrimp soldiers and crabs outside the city, and it is completely impossible for the climate.

This time, Justinian did not refuse the wish of his warriors to fight, but drew out the sword that had longed for blood on his waist, and said: "Rome revival, in this action, the soldiers of the empire, and It is an honor for you to fight together. It is an honor for the empire to have you attack with me, and history will record it. It is an honor for the empire to fight with me!

"kill--"

The excited Roman cavalry jumped on the horses that were already eager to try and shouted with Justinian Nibal sword-they had been waiting for a long time on this day.

...

...

...

In the northeastern corner of Argos, the army led by the Grand Duke of Athens was responsible for besieging the last Greeks in the city. In everyone’s eyes, these defenders were already dead, so more attention was now focused on the coalition forces and Greece in the southwest. The main force of the decisive battle. Although Maximilian regretted that he could not personally direct this destined battle to avenge his defeat at Athens that day, it was a good feeling to be able to watch the Greeks fall with his own eyes.

But just when he was full of ambition, there was a commotion outside the military account.

"It's not good, Grand Duke, it's not good, the Greeks, the Greeks came and attacked!" A wounded cavalry panicked, while the breathless soldier on the other side rushed into his camp in panic. And an arrow hit the center of his arrow, and this scene immediately made Maxim's heart stunned.

Could it be that the defenders in Argos took the initiative to attack? The bewildered Maximilian immediately rushed out of the barracks to clarify what happened, but when he got out of the barracks, he was shocked and dumbfounded by what he saw before his eyes.

Behind the barracks he was in, a cavalry appeared on the hillside at some point, and it did not belong to the Latin coalition at all. But the clouds in the sky completely dissipated, and when the sun was still on the heavy drape of the war horse, Maximilian, who finally recognized the army, was frightened and cold.

He knew this army, because he saw this cavalry tear apart his army during the Battle of Athens. How could they appear here, shouldn't they follow Justinian anytime, anywhere? Could it be that Justinian is back!

That was the trump card army in Justinian's hand, overweight cavalry, as the army of Moria's despotism, although these warriors were guards, they were all brave.

Now, about six hundred cavalry are breathing down the hillside, approaching the fortified position of the Latin army.

"charge!"

With a loud cry sounded in the middle of the mountain, since Justinian, all the Duke’s guards launched an attack at this time, and at this time, the rolling iron hoof came with oppressive noises, which hit the unprepared like a torrent. In front of the Latin.

As the main force has been completely gone by Alexander, only a small part of the Latin army trapped in Argos stayed behind. When they formed a weak formation, they felt the chilling murderous aura from a distance, and they rushed towards their faces. They instantly became devoid of fighting spirit. The imposing manner of being charged by the Roman cavalry had been overwhelmed first.

"Array defense, don't disperse!"

No matter how Maximilian ordered, the defeated Latin army had already ignored the Duke's orders, and either fled in fear, or was afraid to move at all.

Without the protection of the heavy cavalry, the Latin army collapsed instantly under the charge of hundreds of imperial heavy cavalry. The Greek cavalry armed with a lance broke into the wall of believers at this moment, and smashed in with a horse and a man, and the effect was amazing.

"kill--"

Accompanied by Justinian’s leading power, the rider rode a spear in his hand, tearing open the unsuspecting Latin formation in an instant, and the amazing charge penetrated from the front to the back. The first two or three columns of Latin People were killed in an instant and most of them trampled on ~www.wuxiaspot.com~, and seeing this scene, Maximil was stunned, and he immediately ordered the German knights under his command to rush up to fight. He must prevent the Greek heavy cavalry from continuing to slaughter in his army camp. Maximilian personally led his knights and led hundreds of civilian cavalry to the Greek cavalry at this time.

But this was of no avail. When the two cavalry were reloaded together, the wall of the Roman army instantly crushed the wedge-shaped formation of the Latins. The long spears in the hands of the two sides run through the opposite side, and the powerful impact can even directly fly out the prosecution. Even if it does not die, it will become a useless maimed on the battlefield.

"Let our enemies wailing, because today is their end!" Justinian shouted, and then stretched out his sword. The heavy armored cavalry beside them were also encouraged by their courage. After stopping their horses, they waved the mace around their waist and smashed them at the Latin who was still resisting. Each hammer was a life for a person, and they were suddenly terrified. The Latins at this moment can no longer organize the resistance they want. Even the Latin knights could not muster the courage and the re-emergence of the Roman Empire to fight against the heavy casualties.

"Hold it up! Hold it up!"

The hoarse-sounding Grand Duke Maximilian of Athens still yelled unwillingly, but it was of no use. Seeing his troop casualties were exhausted, and the guards and knights around him ignored his lord’s orders and forcibly led them. With Maximilian retreating towards the safest northwest direction.

After dispersing the Latin defenders outside the city of Argos, and after counting the casualties, Justinian finally turned his eyes to the southwest-at this moment, his goal has been achieved, and the threat of Argos's siege has been lifted. , And now the final task is to wait for him to lead this army to rescue Nevsky who is in a bitter battle............
