Chapter 49 Victory
As Grand Duke Anastasius said, Justinian always held the initiative on the battlefield. Although the Venetians had the advantage, the army under Justinian was like an iron walnut that could not be smashed, and could not do anything. And Justinian also made the Venetian commander completely forget his duties and turned his attention to the troops that surrounded and annihilated Justinian.
It can be said that Justinian has always created an illusion for his opponent that he can succeed, making him fall into Justinian's trap step by step like a gambler. But this is not simple, just like walking a tightrope on a cliff, if you are not careful, you will be crushed to pieces.
"In other words, the seekers have successfully broken through." The nobles of Molia, who suddenly realized, understood the true intention of Justinian's previous actions, but they did not expect that even they were kept in the dark.
This is precisely the talent that Byzantine generals lacked. Justinian was able to deal with the Latins with ease. Although the guards of Grand Duke Anastasius were absolutely loyal and could absolutely obey Justinian's orders, the more important thing was Justinian's own ability.
This also made Anastasius understand Justinian even further. Is it really just an ordinary civilian guard?
His eyes swept over the expressions of the people in front of him, and the old man said nothing more. At this time, Justinian and his army also retreated smoothly to the mountain. However, the Venetians, who were already desperate, were still behind to cover up and chase and try to make a final attempt.
"Kill!"
The Albanian light cavalry once again rushed to Justinian's army, trying to pull its retreat, but unfortunately they were all futile.
A cavalry unit rushing out from the right wing of the Byzantine army was not responsible for the light cavalry after the rear, but was a heavy armored cavalry that had received high light training. It had the excellent riding skills of Western European knights but had the discipline that the knight master did not have. It was seen that many heavy armored cavalry gathered together. Under Justin's order, they formed a wedge formation this time and broke into the defenseless Albanian cavalry array. Without waiting for the opponent's resistance, their cavalry spears easily tore the enemy in front of them.
These riders were freely waving their swords and maces. At this time, the pitiful armor of the Albanian cavalry encountered a hard-to-hard battle, and nearly half of them were injured or killed in an instant. The Venetians' pursuit with their last strength was completely stopped. The people and horses fell and rolled in the melee. The Albanians finally couldn't hold on anymore, and fled in all directions, scattered and fled, stepping on the bodies of companions and war horses, and fled in the opposite direction.
The occurrence of this scene has already revealed that the Venetians' attempts have undoubtedly failed at this moment. Since Justinian has made a plan, he knows that the Venetians have arranged the encirclement before and are naturally ready to escape unstoppable.
"Open the city gate!"
At this time, the Grand Duke Anastasius, who had agreed with Justinian, saw the large army withdrawing in the firelight and ordered the defenders in the city to open the city gate and let the army retreat safely. On the other side, the soldiers on the castle ordered the soldiers who had already prepared a long time ago to aim at the Venetians chasing below.
