"Everyone and I stick to this place. No one can retreat without my orders! Those who violate the orders, kill!" Only Nichifruz gave a decisive order, holding up the long sword in his hand, which was completely different from the panic of the first time he saw the Venetians, and his eyes were full of determination.

The soldiers who accompanied him were shocked at first and then seemed to be infected by their courage, holding up their weapons and shouting, "Yes!"

In fact, Nickifrus didn't understand that his soldiers could not stop the Venetians at all, and he was also very scared, but he understood his responsibility. Now he had to buy time for the scouts to hold back the Venetians as much as possible.

Looking at the soldiers who were loyal to him, Nichifruz did not give an inspiring speech like Ranieri Dandoro, but instead shouted in a simple and straightforward manner: "For the Empire, kill!"

"For the Empire, kill!"

The Venetians finally rushed up amid the war cry of the Byzantine defenders. They were the brave and warlike Albanian light cavalry. They were famous Balkan horse thieves. The Venetian mercenaries had always been extremely active in fighting with Byzantines. These horse robbers rushed into the city walls smashed by catapults like tides.

"Kill all the Greeks, they had no reinforcements, and they tried their best to eliminate them!" The Albanians shouted, and the Venetian soldiers behind them also launched a charge even harder. This is the use of the Albanians. In Venice's view, the country's population is not large, so their own soldiers are of course very precious. Therefore, this dangerous action of being a vanguard is naturally done by mercenaries like the Albanians.

After learning that the Byzantines were indeed unprepared this time, and the number of defenders on the periphery was not large, they became more confident in the Venetians' confidence in siege in one go.

But Nickifrus, as the commander, was not prepared to let the Venetian succeed so easily. He only heard him yelling and directed the archers to aim at the Albanians who had just broken into the ground and had no formation.

The arrows came out of the tight bowstrings and formed a rain of arrows. Many Albanian cavalry caught off guard. Both their men and horses did not have the protection of armor. The shots were immediately overturned. The Albanians wailed and covered their wounds and then fell into chaos. This is the flaw of these horse thieves in the mountains. Although they are all desperate people, they can easily get out of their way once they encounter a blow.

The Venetian soldiers rushing up behind suddenly squeezed into the Albanians. On the other hand, the Byzantines hiding behind the wooden fences and fortifications took the opportunity to shoot arrows to the enemy to kill. However, this did not stop the Venetians. The light soldiers in Venetian climbed wooden guns and climbed up the ladder and rushed over. The front line of the city wall fought with the Byzantines holding spears. The wounded and the dead filled the ravines for it. The Byzantine archers who were interrupted had to pull out their swords and rush up to the enemy to start a tug-of-war. However, more Venetian infantry Croatian mercenaries rushed up and climbed over the city wall, forcing the defense line formed by the army under Nichifrus had to retreat, and the number of soldiers following Nichifrus was also getting smaller and smaller. They were either killed in battle or were dispersed by the enemy.

However, despite this, Ranieri Dandoro, who was watching the battle, still felt that the progress was too slow. Logically, his army came out this time, and the enemy's first reaction should be to be defeated when they saw such a formation. However, after the battle, the small army had not yet collapsed, which undoubtedly surprised the Venetians.

Is it true that the Greeks here are really completely different from when they besieged Constantinople?

Ranieri, standing in the saddle, looked at the battle coldly, and finally waved his hand, "Renard, you lead the team to encircle the Greeks' rear and cut off their retreat. Reinhart, you lead a cavalry and ambush the way they must pass, kill everyone!"

The man was already impatient. He had to quickly solve the defenders here to achieve the successful raid. It would be bad if he wasted too much time here to give the defenders of Fort Wiscarri to prepare enough time.

The two knights who received the order from Ranieridandoro nodded and led their troops to detour, preparing to detour from Byzantium and give him a final blow.

However, Nickifrus still knew nothing about this. He led his army and retreated. Despite the heavy losses, the goal of dragging the Venetians had been achieved. He was ready to hold on for a while before retreating, but he had no chance.

A horn behind him suddenly sounded, a breath of fear came to his face, as if a declaration of death. Nichifruz noticed that at some point the elite knights of Venice had arrived behind him under the cover of the village. The Italian knight Renard held up his cavalry and roared, and then took the lead. The fully armed heavy cavalry behind him rushed towards the unprepared Byzantine army like a strong wind. The Greek soldiers who were blocking the lances in front of the knights were washed away and fled in the blink of an eye. With the help of fortifications, the Byzantines might be at ease in fighting the light cavalry and infantry, but they were helpless in the face of the heavy cavalry of the Latins.

The Italian knights held the golden lion San Marco flag embroidered with the flag of the golden lion, which was unstoppable. They could easily pierce the Greeks who blocked them. The fleeing intestines and fragmented corpses were everywhere. The fleeing defenders wanted to escape to Fort Wiscarry but were immediately beheaded by the light cavalry led by another knight Reinhardt, fortunately invincible. At this point, the defense line outside Fort Wiscarry completely collapsed, in a very short time,

The Venetians easily defeated the Byzantines and occupied all the territory outside the castle. The uninhabited village was originally the last buffer zone of Fort Wiscarri, but now it has completely fallen into the hands of the Venetians. At this time, the Byzantines who were late to prepare for battle looked at everything outside the city and understood it too late - the periphery of Fort Wiscarri completely fell into the hands of the Venetians, and this was undoubtedly the worst thing.
