"Kill--" shouts shook the sky, and Byzantine and Achaia quickly fell into a fight. The spear formations collided with each other to try to tear each other apart, but it was obvious that the battle between infantry often took a long time. From the beginning, the Achaia army had a numerical advantage, and Baron Louis also prepared traps for the Byzantines.

Byzantine gave up defense and directly attacked, and fell into a melee in order to prevent the Achaean Knights from charging directly, but Baron Louis had changed his tactics.

The central vanguard was the weakest, but the two wings were elite heavy infantry, forming a bow formation raised in the center. From the beginning of the battle, the central army of Achaia quickly retreated because of its defeat, and the central Byzantine army immediately covered up and killed it. However, the two wings were resisted by the elite Achaia, which was progressing slowly, the originally protruding bow formation turned into a crescent-shaped formation.

"If we break through the enemy, as long as we break through their battle formation, we will win!" Zeodosefalon was still giving orders as deputy commander. As soon as he saw the changes in the Latin army formation, he saw the weakness of the army.

However, Justinian issued a completely opposite message: "Order the front army to slow down the attack!"

"Justinian, what do you mean? Are you crazy? Now is the best opportunity. As long as you break through their formation, the Latins fight each other, it is our opportunity." Zeodosefalon angrily thought that Justinian did it on purpose and wanted to block his subordinates from making contributions.

But Justinian was too lazy to pay attention to Zeodosefalon. He could see at a glance the trap prepared by the Achaean army for himself. Zeodosefalon thought that defeating the central army would be able to make a decision in one battle, but like Paulus, the consul of the Roman Republic, a thousand years ago, he thought that as long as he attacked desperately, he could defeat Hannibal in Carthage. If Justinian really got the trap, then the central army would continue to attack and would be blocked by the heavy infantry arranged behind the Latins. At that time, the entire Byzantine army would be squeezed and cut in three directions, and the final way was blocked by the Alfios River behind. It would become the last straw that crushed Justinian.

This was a repeat of the Battle of Hannibal Kanney. Although it was much smaller, Justinian knew that he had already expected the other party to adopt such tactics, which were very clever tactics under such terrain. However, all of this was deliberately arranged by Justinian. He had already anticipated the tactics that the other party might adopt, so he also prepared a trap for the Latins.

The key to replicating the second step of the Battle of Canny was the charge of the cavalry on both wings, and the Latins had not moved, probably because they were afraid of the Turkic cavalry he had not sent out to hide.

But now Justinian ordered the soldiers to slow down their attack and even slowly retreated, so the opponent could not stand his composure and not attack.

...

Sure enough, Baron Louis, who discovered the problem, suddenly became impatient. If the Byzantine army retreated or stagnated, it would be absolutely necessary to eliminate the other party's casualties, which was what he least wanted to see. He was indeed imitating the tactics of the Battle of Canny, but the delay in appearance of the Turkic cavalry made him hesitate. Hannibal relied on the Numidian cavalry to defeat the Roman Alliance cavalry and decided to go back and attack the Romans and defeated their formation to complete this epic victory.

But now he can't care about this. Baron Louis cannot watch the Byzantine army withdraw. He is indeed a cautious person, but it does not mean that he can give up a great opportunity to destroy this Byzantine army.

"Sir Giles, Sir Charlie, you lead all the knights to lead all the cavalry to the back of the Greeks and give them a final blow!" Baron Louis finally made up his mind that even if the opponent had Turkic cavalry as a backup plan, his knights had more than one thousand heavy cavalrymen, which was enough to deal with unexpected situations.

On the right side, there are plains and reeds on the river beach as a cover, which is an excellent route of travel. As long as the detour is completed, you can make a final decision. Byzantine no longer has any extra army to stop his cavalry from circumventing, and not to mention that he has no means to resist the charge of heavy cavalry.

"Yes, Lord Baron!" The infantry melee made them unable to enter the battlefield. It was time for them, the knights who dominated the battlefield, to leave the city. The knights immediately took the cavalry and departed from the rear of the Byzantine army, but none of this escaped Justinian's eyes. As soon as they saw a cavalry leaving the battlefield, Justinian guessed the other party's purpose.

"Say to Neuski and let him prepare for the fight!" shouted at Captain Leo beside him. Captain Leo immediately ordered the flag-holder to wave the battle flag to signal to Neuski who was ambushing.

Neuski, who led the Valangi Guard and a few Qinzhan archers, was ambushed in the reeds and saw the secret code Justinian gave him. He knew that the Latin cavalry was finally coming. Although they had ambushed, they were at a disadvantage in terms of numbers. However, somehow the man was surprisingly calm.

"Everyone is ready to fight, long live the empire!"

"Long live!"

The heavy cavalry of the Latins was like an arrow piercing straight into the heart of the Byzantine army. It was not difficult for them to encircle them in a roundabout way, but just when they were about to give the Greeks who were disdainful in their eyes, they found that their way was blocked.

"Tsk—It seems that Lord Louis has miscalculated!" Sir Giles smiled and looked at the Censors by the river beach. This number was vulnerable to their eyes. Unless they were heavy infantry wearing heavy armor, holding spears and shields, or heavy cavalry with the same harness, no one could withstand the charge of the Latin cavalry. Just as the Byzantines were shocked by the bravery of Western European knights, "The Latin cavalry's cavalry can even be defeated by the walls of Babylon." The Censors in front of them were just a group of horses without barbarians.

"Drunk them directly, don't waste time, Lord Giles. They may be used to delay time, and you shouldn't want the Greeks to run away like this, right?" Sir Charlie looked at the inspector in front of him and didn't take it seriously.

"Of course." After hearing Sir Charlie's words, Giles's face sank slightly. Of course, he was unwilling to accept that the Byzantines would just withdraw. He had not settled the debt with them yet! Then the man pulled out the knight's sword on his waist and roared.
Chapter completed!
