Eagle Flag of Epirus

Vol 4 Chapter 28: Fierce Battle in the Shoals (Part 1)

"This is Greek fire-this is Greek fire!" Ranieri growled heartbreakingly, but looked at the burning warship and couldn't do anything. He was too careless, he should have expected it, no, to be precise, no one would have thought that a Byzantine in such a decline would have such a secret weapon! Ranieri is puzzled. It's not surprising that the defenders of Constantinople have Greek fire, but why the desolate Moria nobles in Wiscari Fort have such a **** thing.

"How could they have a Greek fire! George, didn't you say that you have seen everything about this castle? Why didn't you tell me they would have a Greek fire!" Ranieri, whose eyes were red, could not wait to face him. George Frontier rushed forward, and he couldn't go back to account for such a huge loss, even those of Fort Wiscari. If he knew in advance that the Byzantines had a Greek fire, either he would not shoot, or at least he would be fully prepared for fire prevention!

But the Earl George in front of him was equally astonished. He didn't expect things to turn out to be like this, and his face was pale, "I...I don't even know that they have a guardian fire. If I knew in advance, I would definitely tell. Yours. Unless the old guy Anastasius has these things in his hands.” In fact, they certainly couldn’t predict that even George Frontier didn’t suspect Justinian who was an outsider, although Justinian used a Greek fire when he ambushed the Latin knights at the Battle of Alfios, but few Achaeans survived. Therefore, the news of Justinian’s grasp of the Greek fire was not known to outsiders at all. Last time I came to Jane Cong, no one would have thought that Justinian had a fragment of the ark that could store things.

This time, Justinian bet everything, risking the fall of Fort Wiscari, using all the Greek fires and finally inflicting a heavy blow on the Venetians, but this is not over yet.

In the sky of black smoke and flames, Ranieri caught a glimpse of the burning warship from a distance, and howls everywhere. It was a desperate struggle. The fleet in the middle route had been lost. The forward fleet had landed, but the warships at the rear could not move because of the sea of ​​flames. At this time the man had to make a choice. Finally, Ranieri gritted his teeth and yelled:

"Order the forward to attack with all strength, take down the water gate, and other warships, bypass the sea of ​​fire, and take down the city in one go!"

At this point, although the loss was heavy, Ranieri had no choice. He had to capture the castle and capture the Moria nobles before he could go back and defeat his merits. Otherwise, he would have no place to stand.

And this was also in Justinian’s expectation. At the same time, another Byzantine army that had been prepared on the other side shot out from the city and quickly rushed towards the Venetian army that had just taken control of the Watergate, as long as the Venetian forward was eliminated. Troops, they can win this offensive and defensive battle of Fort Wiscari. Immediately after Justinian's order, the heavily armed soldiers ambushing in the boat on the side of the bay also attacked the enemy on the shallows.

Damn it! After seeing this scene, Ranieri was furious, urging the fleet behind to speed up the rescue of the forward troops, but a huge monster cremated by Greece stood in between them, just like what is called Leviathan in the Bible. A monster lay in front of you, and at this moment the bay of Fort Wiscari was like a lake of sulphur in hell.

As a result, the Venetian reinforcements were greatly hindered and unable to provide support. The Venetian vanguard forces that encountered the siege were caught off guard, and their way of retreat was blocked. Although there were a large number of people, they were suddenly stunned by a head-on blow. It's almost overwhelming.

Looking at the black figure on the scorched shore. Justinian also made a good decision, and now it's time for them to make a surprise attack. The Venetian army is the most vulnerable when it staggers ashore. In addition, it is unprepared to be attacked. He cannot give the enemy time to assemble, otherwise they will be at a disadvantage in the battle of fortifications if the number is not large.

"Everyone kills with me!"

Justinian roared, drew the long sword around his waist, and jumped into the cold shallow waters to rush into the chaotic and numerous Venetian soldiers, and stabbed a soldier who was still defenseless. In the body, he kicked it away with another kick, and the splash of blood fell on Justinian’s face with a smell of rust. It was warm and sticky, but Justinian didn’t feel sick. He has long been accustomed to these battles.

The Venetian army that was attacked in the back suddenly went into chaos. Although Justinian brought only a few dozen people, no one could see what was going on in the night. The Venetian, driven by fear, subconsciously wanted to retreat, and at the same time arrows shot out from the city. It was the Byzantine soldiers who took the city head, and saw huge stones thrown down from above, crushing steel and flesh and blood. This caused the Venetians to even more want to retreat back to their ship, and the enemy forces swarmed up, which instantly increased the pressure on the troops that Justinian was carrying~www.wuxiaspot.com~The spear was ready," But Justinian was still calm. The order was given to let the soldiers armed with long guns sprint towards the unsuspecting Venetian army, causing huge casualties immediately.

Soon the ground was damp and slippery, full of blood from the soldiers who died, and the beach was completely red. At this time, the Venetian knight who was in command of the battle had to dismount to fight, because in this case the horse's hoof slipped, which would make the knight roll off the saddle before rushing to the enemy team. The fight is still going on, I don’t know when who ignited The torch illuminates the dark gate, and the Venetians realized that there were not many enemies behind them. This also made Justinian’s heart sink, watching the enemy turn around, Chashi Denny and Arslan can only command a small number of troops to hurriedly deal with this sudden shock. It stands to reason that the defenders in the city have solved a small number of enemies in the city and should now come out to pick them up and attack Venice before and after.

In the midst of doubts, a Byzantine aristocrat in gold armor lifted a heavy warhammer among the Viscari gates and shouted: "Long live the Roman Empire!" Hearing everyone behind him responded loudly. Then the heavy armored Byzantine infantry finally came out with a spear. The spear with an eagle flag directly pierced the chest of the Venetian who only wore light leather armor in order to adapt to sea warfare. This gave Venice With a heavy blow, as the pirates who were enlisted, these Illyrian pirates were brave and hesitant, but they were very easy to disperse in the face of headwinds.

Seeing that the Venetians on the beach were about to be unable to hold them back, Justinian was delighted to lead the troops all the way to chase the fleeing enemy, but the next moment, something unexpected happened, a huge fireball in the sky. Falling from the sky, the pitch engulfed with burning flames directly smashed at him who was caught off guard.
