Eagle Flag of Epirus

Vol 5 Chapter 62: Last resort

"What the **** is going on, Lord Gottfrey?" Baron Vernier couldn't help but questioned the scene before him with an unhappy expression.

The sudden appearance of this Turkic cavalry completely disrupted his plan, so that he now had to urgently order the former army to return to aid, temporarily slowing down the attack on the besieged Roman army in the Acropolis. But in spite of this sudden attack, Cynvenir still appeared calm, obviously not panicked by it...

At the same time, just listening to the shout of "Kill--" rang out from the sky, and charged towards the enemy several times his own, Arslan led the rider under his command without fear. When the Turkic warriors rushed into the enemy's formation, they put down their bows and held sabers in their hands to slash and kill for a while, but no one could stop them.

"Beat them in one go!" Arslan roared immediately, and the Turks were brave enough to charge with a nearly wild attitude. At this moment, this cavalry is a dangerous knife, and the Latin knights on the forward line have no time to withdraw. This gives them the opportunity to cut through the defense of the Latin coalition. As long as the enemy commander is killed on the spot, the whole battle will be There will undoubtedly be a shocking reversal. Once this kind of beheading operation is successful, it is more likely to seriously affect morale than the trebuchet tossed the corpse before the Latins.

We must know that the victory and defeat of a war often changes rapidly. At the beginning, William the Conqueror in the Battle of Hastings was defeated by the enemy's commander, Harold, and won in one fell swoop. Therefore, destroying the enemy's center is undoubtedly the wisest choice in this kind of disparity between the enemy and the enemy. Although Arslan is eager for his father's safety, he has not yet reached the point of being completely dominated by impulsive emotions.

With a small team in person, Arslan was like a sharp knife to tear apart the battlefield of the Latins. At this moment, the Turkic cavalry was only a stone's throw away from the enemy's Chinese army camp.

I saw that the nearby Latin army hurriedly moved closer to the camp, trying to stop the Turkic cavalry from the raid, but the opponent’s speed was so fast that they could easily ride over the obstacles that had been set up, and rushed right in front of them. Of the camp. Every Turkic cavalry continued to advance, fighting **** and **** arrows against the rain of locusts.

In front is the large camp of the Latin Coalition, and only a few Venetian guards remain guarding there. But in Arslan’s eyes, it’s in vain. Everybody knows the weakness of the Venetian land warfare. Without heavy spearmen and cavalry, the Latins could not stop them, and now the two are trapped in the quagmire of the war ahead. Can't rush over. It's time for a showdown!

But just when Arslan thought that everything was going to end, something unexpected happened. The Venetians who shielded themselves in front of them showed off the weapons they had been hiding in their robes, and they were full of cold light. Heavy crossbow. And seeing this thing, Alslanton felt cold for the most part, and he couldn't be more familiar with this weapon. When he and Justinian first confronted, plundering the countryside outside Ilovan Castle suffered from this powerful weapon. The new crossbow, this non-mainstream weapon on the battlefield has been meticulously improved by Italian craftsmen, not only has a longer range and the ability to break armor, but also a nightmare for everyone on the battlefield.

I saw that the dense crossbow arrows directly covered the charging players under Arslan in an instant, and they were caught off guard and turned their backs on time. Anyone with arrows in their bodies felt as if they had been hit hard by a heavy siege wood, and fell under the horse before they could feel it. Just listening to the mad roars of the Turkic warriors, and with arrows in their shoulders, they were only a little bit able to successfully reverse the whole battle.

But this is the end of the matter. Arslan, unwilling to fail like this, still braved the arrows to enter the enemy line, but was already scarred, and the men next to him also used their bodies to resist the rain of arrows, and then rushed into Latin. The Chinese army camp, and looking at the Latin Crusader flag in the center, Arslan exhausted his last effort to throw his saber, and saw that the cross battle flag that invigorated the morale of the Latin army happened to be penetrated. Crucified in the dust.

Seeing the flag fall, Alslan, who was exhausted, gave a gratified smile, and the horse he was riding on was already dying and finally couldn't hold it, howling and falling down and threw the young Turkic man off his horse. When he climbed up from the ground and looked at the Latin man who surrounded him, Arslan gave a sneer, gritted his teeth and broke the crossbow bolt on his shoulder, holding a long knife and calmly waiting for his final outcome.

Just as the Latin soldiers were about to swarm up to kill the infidel with a knife~www.readwn.com~The next second-another team of troops broke into the war. It was Leo’s garrison commander who led the assault team to the rescue. Although his heart was full of resentment for Arslan's recklessness, he couldn't stand idly by anyway.

"Come on, Arslan!" Leo Qingshu, who rushed over on his horse, twisted his arms and slid Arslanti onto the horse, but Arslan, who was sitting behind, was still stunned and did not respond. What happened. The same is true for the Latins. They didn’t have time to react. After regaining their senses, they saw that they were like windswept clouds. They came and went quickly. The Leo’s garrison commander, who had no love for war, took advantage of the Latins to have not reacted. Immediately led the commando to break out of the siege.

This scene took place, and everyone was stunned at the time. The Latins were completely shocked by the performance of these tenacious Turks. On the other side, seeing the flag of the Latin Coalition in dust, the Roman army, which was already at a disadvantage in the Acropolis, immediately cheered up. Refreshing, chanting "Reinforcement has arrived", the Latin coalition forces, which in turn suppressed the offensive, retreated steadily. The Latins who did not know what was going on in the rear commotion were also at a loss for a while. The Latin army that invaded the camp was repulsed abruptly.

"What's going on there?" The stunned Theodor Ducas looked at the Latins who seemed to be somewhat unstable and couldn't help but get excited. Is it possible that Justinian's reinforcements finally arrived? But before he was sure, the man still didn't dare to make a desperate bet, and at the last moment ordered to stop the pursuit. Because even if the Latin army was repelled, the navy of Venice in the south of the sea was still watching. The Venetians just haven't done anything for the time being. Once the time comes, they will be really bad when they come on stage.
