"Kill--" The Byzantine soldiers, who were originally carrying grass and horses, were silently imposing like rainbows in an instant, like stormy waves. The power they had accumulated finally burst out at this moment.

The unprepared Venetians were completely pale at this moment. They had never expected that the Byzantines would choose to attack at night. In military combat, night attacks are often the most difficult, and few commanders would choose. But what can be done means that this army is definitely the elite among the elite.

In fact, it is true. Justinian led the personal guards under Grand Duke Anastasius. Unlike the peasant soldiers who had already been vulnerable due to the collapse of the military system, this army has both combat effectiveness and discipline.

At the front were the Latin heavy-armed cavalry, and at the front the charge troops, they were equipped with horses and horses, formed a moving wall of rifles. It seemed to be unfast, but the heavy and amazing armor made their impact enough to make everything that blocked them.

The Luzhai Juema, who was blocking in front, was quickly broken through by this elite cavalry, and behind them were the Turkic cavalry under Justinian. They were the guards brought by Justinian on this trip. Although there were not many, they were all excellent cavalry archers. They saw the fingertips of their fingers crossing the bowstrings, and then the arrows fell like rain, and they tried their best to ensure that each sharp arrow would take the life of an enemy.

The sentries on the watchtower and Venetian soldiers who were close to the city debt and had no time to put on their armor were shot and fell down countless times in an instant.

"Close the city gate quickly, close the door quickly!" Seeing all this, the companions fell down one by one. The panic-in Venetian soldiers remembered that the gate of the camp had not been closed yet, but it was too late.

The soldiers who rushed forward had just closed the door and put down the bolt. The heavy horse-drawn the door opened directly, and then the unstoppable Byzantine army rushed in.

Then Maximilian, who had reacted, gathered with his army and was shocked to see the scene in front of him. Lord Ranieri gave him such an important task, but now the Byzantines broke through his defense under his nose, which he could not allow, otherwise he would never be able to go back and explain it afterwards.

"Prepare for the fight!"

Fighting for honor, Maximilian and his Italian cavalry also rushed towards the Byzantine cavalry in front of him. The knights and maces greeted each other immediately, which slowed down the Byzantine offensive.

But Justinian brought not only cavalry, but behind him, the heavy infantry as the core also came over. The two wings were led by bows and infantrymen. They used arrow rain to suppress the enemies in the distance, and once they were close, they pulled out the long sword at their waists. This tactic was very similar to the northern Serbian style, and was fatal to the Venetians.

As a maritime country, Venice has the most powerful navy in the Mediterranean, but marching and fighting on land is their weakness. Even if they attack Constantinople, their main force relies on the French knights.

But even so, Maximilian was not panicked. He ordered his troops to go to the other two mountain pass camps to seek assistance, and on the other side, he sent people to rule the Governor Ranieri on the sea, while he tried his best to prevent the army from reorganizing the defense line. He had already made the worst plan, so there was a second fortification in the camp.

The scattered archers were ordered to re-arrange their defenses, and Maximilian looked at the Byzantine attack with a serious expression, feeling an indescribable heaviness. Is this the vulnerable Greek army more than a year ago?

After the enemy used the veteran company as the backbone to form an orderly arranged front, the infantry detachment holding a spear formed a horizontal attack formation. Taking a great step, holding the spear in his hand, rushed towards the Venetians - it was like a wall-like impact with cavalry. Although the charge was not necessarily strong, this sense of oppression was not something that ordinary soldiers could bear. But more importantly, these soldiers were the most difficult to cooperate in order, and it was undoubtedly the veterans who had been through many battles that could do this. Therefore, the steps were extremely consistent, so the dense spears that could be arranged. The great horror formed undoubtedly enveloped the hearts of their subordinates and could not be removed.

As Maximilian expected, the Venetian right wing was a little unsupported. This was a temporary light infantry composed by seamen. Their equipment was relatively simple, so they were no longer able to do anything in the face of the Byzantine rain of arrows. When the heavy-armed Byzantine infantry appeared, they were completely unable to maintain their formation.

Almost at a loss, the fleeing Venetian soldiers trampled on each other, and the Byzantines also took the opportunity to kill at will, and the situation was suddenly controlled by Byzantines. For a moment, the Byzantines, who were in a heavy mood, seemed to see hope and attack more and try their best to make a concerted effort.

The terrifying wailing sounds, the sound of swords and the intense shouts of killing echoed throughout the camp. The retreat of the Venetians was the brave attack of the Byzantines. Soon, the Byzantine heavy cavalry, who were originally besieged, had joined forces with the infantry to attack the Italian knights.

This doubled the pressure on Italian cavalry. They were composed of professional knights and mercenaries, some were heavy-armed cavalry and some were poorly equipped Albanian herders, who felt increasingly unsupported.

But once they retreat, the entire camp will become a slaughterhouse for Byzantine cavalry without any obstacles.

"Resist!" Maximilian, who was supervising the battle in the rear, shouted. He could only do this, and he had no other choice but to hope that his cavalry troops could support more time.

But this further exposed the weakness of the Venetians. Everyone in the Byzantine army saw this, and now the only thing the Byzantine army thinks is to continue to expand the results of the war.

"Don't retreat, attack - kill!" The cavalry commander who was fighting with the enemy among the cavalry shouted while commanding. He was the commander of the Grand Duke Anastasius and the bravest man rushing in front. Although he was shot in an arrow on his arm, he still waved his mace to fight with the enemy without retreating.
