Eagle Flag of Epirus

Vol 5 Chapter 23: Take a sharp turn

The knights hit by the stone bullets fired by the ballistas were either killed on the spot, or had broken bones and were no longer able to fight, but the knights of Achaia still did not mean to be defeated at all.

Watching this scene, Justinian, who was in command of the army, also sank slightly. Sure enough, he was thinking too simple. The opponent also understands that the only way to get into an ambush at this time is to concentrate all efforts on attacking the weak point.

At this time, seeing Justinian sitting in the army and the iconic black fox battle flag, despite the huge casualties, Viscount Senna's determination to attack did not waver. Since it can't defeat the opponent, then take the beheading action. In order to lure the Latins into battle, Justinian deliberately moved his command of honor to the front of the battlefield. This was not only a trap for the enemy, but also the safety of himself and the whole army on the gaming table.

Sure enough, the Latins did not encounter an ambush and were at a loss. On the contrary, they calmly adopted the best tactics. The Latin knights were greeted by the rain of arrows and ballistas, as if a sharp sword pierced into the heart of the Roman army, and the Greek outfits and Turkic light knights on both sides had not closed the opening. For a while, no one could stop the furious charge like a golden horse and iron horse.

The Latins charged with their lances between their elbows and armpits, easily piercing and tearing the bodies of unresisting soldiers, and once the wooden spears were broken, these heavy cavalry wielded maces and crossed swords to charge back and forth, and saw men and horses. The knights all in chain armor are not disadvantaged.

However, despite the thick dust of iron hoofs rolling over the Roman soldiers, watching the terrifying figures of the Latin cavalry rushing and killing, the Romans still did not lose as Viscount Senna had imagined. On the contrary, his eyes were vulnerable. The Greeks stood on the plain, like a mountain range in front of him.

damn it!

Senafanis was anxiously roaring in his heart. The Greeks and Turks behind him could cover up at any time, and his reinforcements were not yet in place. If he could not defeat the enemy as soon as possible and complete the beheading operation, not only would he not be able to defeat the enemy, but he could also himself. In a dangerous situation.

As the decisive weapon of Western Europeans for hundreds of years, the invincible Frankish knights should have been invincible. Even the armored cavalry of the Byzantine Empire used to have nothing to do in their hands, but now they are facing this seemingly weak Greece. The army of men, even though the knights launched an assault on the densest place of the enemy, they still couldn't penetrate the opponent's defense.

The scale of war seems to have gradually turned towards the Romans, but the price paid is also huge.

Without adequate counter-riding methods, the Roman army tried their best to wield swords and short spears, but their weapons could only cause negligible damage to the enemy. The knights rushed back and forth invincible, but the Byzantine army had a large number of advantages. From a distance, the Latin cavalry who had thrown into the battlefield seemed to be annihilated by the Greeks!

"Go ahead!"

Despite this, Viscount Senna let out a roar, even though the knights under his command were out of breath, he firmly believed that the enemy on the opposite side had also reached the end of the force. Sooner or later, such casualties will have a critical value. Once that limit is exceeded, the remaining enemies will inevitably flee. At that time, they will be greeted by unstoppable defeats.

With this kind of belief, they killed the Roman army in front of them, and the Latins also strove their lives, and for a while, the war went into fierce heat.

But as the seesaw continued, the three-person team of knights gradually gained the upper hand with each other, and after all, it was the newly formed army, and the last line of defense in front of Justinian was finally somewhat unsupported.

The Achaean knights finally regained control of the battlefield. Despite the heavy casualties, they organized four assaults on Justinian. The closest to success, the bravest knight and Justinian were almost only a stone's throw away. But even though the young man who stood at the forefront instructing the soldiers to hold the Latins still did not move back to avoid danger, even if he witnessed the splashing of blood, he still remained motionless.

At this time, the infantry in Argos came out of the east and west gates and finally arrived at the battlefield. Although they were long overdue, these heavy infantry armed with long spears and shields appeared at a heavy pace. As if the earth wailed and trembled for it.

Huge pressure came invisibly on the hearts of every Greek, but this scene greatly inspired Viscount Sena, who had been surrounded by the Roman army and was unable to tear it apart.

"Go all out and defeat them in one fell swoop! Dedicating victory to the Lord!"

"kill--"

Just listen to the violent sound of horses hoofs raised in the roar of Senafanis~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The Achaean knight holding a weapon once again launched a charge. Everyone couldn't help getting nervous, Justinian went deep into the danger, but Arslan and Salleus beside him were sent out, but none of them could withstand the earth-shattering blow of the cavalry.

Finally, the forward of the Roman army was still unable to resist. The huge casualties caused the most determined soldiers to be unable to continue to maintain their courage. The collapse is inevitable-

And Justinian, who saw this scene, closed his eyes lightly without any complaints. There is nothing to blame. These loyal new troops have already done their best.

Seeing, the Latin knight was about to rush to Justinian to take his head, and Viscount Senna also felt that he saw the dawn of victory.

However, at this moment, a dark shadow appeared in front of the knights...Someone dared to stop the heavy cavalry's charge. Isn't he going to die?

The puzzled knight hadn't seen it clearly, but saw the dark shadow leaping high, and the heavy two-handed battle axe in his hand swung violently and accurately withstood the weakness of the Achaean knight's horse's neck. The painful horse couldn't stop in time, and it jumped up, and the next moment a strong warrior rushed out from the other side, also holding a giant axe, and slammed up to the knight who was caught off guard because the horse was unsteady.

Hearing only a slight sound, the knight's head fell together with the heavy metal helmet, and the broken neck gushed out, followed by a bang, and the headless knight immediately fell under the horse.

"What?" Seeing all these stunned Viscount Senna's expressions changed drastically, and at this moment those Latin knights rushed to them not the weak Greek infantry, but the furious warrior in heavy chain armor-the guard from Northern Europe, Wa Ranji!
