Chapter 74: The Intervention of Genoa

The Venetians who had reacted soared and turned their heads behind them tremblingly. The fierce horses wearing heavy armor rushed towards them. The knights in armor looked like moving iron towers from afar. The Byzantine cavalry holding spears roared and roared with victory, tearing the battle formation of the Venetian army like sharp blades. However, the desperate Venetians had no choice. They watched the spear tip pierced on the flesh and blood of their comrades, dyed their sight red, and then they were knocked down and trampled by their companions who were shattered by panic. They were like stones on the ground trampled by iron hooves, crushed to pieces, and pieces of Venetians fell down, and the sounds were heard on the battlefield.

In this way, the Venetian army, which had been sure to win, was attacked from three sides and completely collapsed, as if they were chased like prey and slaughtered at will.

Whenever a Venetian soldier fell, the Byzantines would roar and roar, causing the morale of the Venetians to collapse even more uncontrollable.

Crush, slaughter, and take revenge hard, this is the only thing the Byzantine army thinks at this moment.

The place outside the Castle of Wiscarri was not too big, but it was not suitable for a decisive battle, but it now became the flesh and blood grinder of the Venetians. Whether or not they had the courage to resist, the Venetians had no choice to escape here. Countless people were cut down and killed, and some even turned into a pile of meat paste because of their companions.

"Master Dandoro, we can no longer resist it!"

"If this continues, I will be wiped out. What should we do?"

"Reinforcements, we need reinforcements, where is our fleet?"

Ranieri, who was ashamed, was completely panicked at this moment, and the headless Venetian army was in greater chaos. Maximilian on the side was even more anxious and wanted to wake up the adults in front of him. At this moment, they must have someone who can take charge of the overall situation, otherwise it would only be a matter of time before they were surrounded and annihilated.

"Sir, Lord Dandoro, please give us instructions quickly, otherwise we will be done."

Ranieri, who had just come to his senses in Maximilian's crying voice, looked at the Venetian corpse that soon lie out of the city. The bloody scene stimulated his already fragile and tense nerves, and was in pain like a mental breakdown.

"How could this happen? How could this happen!"

The war had almost reached one-sided point, and the victory had undoubtedly reached the hands of the Byzantines. Seeing such a heavy loss, Ranieli knew that no one could reverse such a crushing defeat at this moment. But he could not accept such a result. He was defeated by a group of exiled straitors, and the army that should be consecrated to the mother country in his hands also suffered heavy losses, which made Ranieli feel ashamed.

"Prepare Malay, prepare Malay! I want to charge myself and kill all these damn Greeks! Who is it, who is helping them?" Ranieri shouted out in anger, as if despair and anger had dispelled his last trace of reason, but he clearly realized that the sudden appearance of warship could not be the work of the Byzantines themselves. Someone must have interfered in secret.

But no matter what, he had completely failed. He had no face to return to his motherland for such a defeat, and he felt even more ashamed of his father's name as Dandoro. Now, he is surrounded by three sides. Instead of waiting for death, it is better to fight to the death and exchange for a more dignified way of death.

But the others around him hurriedly led the horses in reverse and asked Ranieri not to act impulsively. These Venetian officers were all young and strong sects promoted by Ranieri and were absolutely loyal to them. They kept begging Ranieri not to think too much and retreat to a safe place as soon as possible, so as not to lose their core figures in the entire army, and then they would really fall into a land of doom.

Just when the Byzantine army was so powerful that the Venetian army was filled with mourning, suddenly, on the sea they were looking forward to, the Venetian warship finally appeared in their sight, which suddenly made a glimmer of hope in their despair. Everyone knows that it is only a matter of time before the defeat of the army was surrounded and annihilated on three sides, and the only way out is to escape from the sea.

...

However, on the other hand, the Venetian warships also suffered heavy losses at this moment, because not long ago, when they were blocking the bay of Fort Wiscarri, they suddenly attacked them from behind and attacked half of their ships with fire. Seeing that the troops on the shore were also defeated, although they were afraid of the local ships, the Venetian Navy, which could not sit idly by, could only grit their teeth and move towards the coast, gathering the remaining troops while guarding against possible attacks.

But surprisingly, after the Byzantine army was transported to the shore of the Shanghai shore, this suspicious and mysterious fleet remained unmoved, and the Venetians were also indifferent to the attempted evacuation.

"Sir Bantic, what should we do?" The first mate on the side looked at the man in front of him and asked for advice. It was no one else who commanded the fleet, but Bantic who had reached an agreement with Justinian in Fort Ilovan. Because he reached a trade agreement in Agrignon, he got the opportunity to go to the Levant to show his skills and has since risen.

However, a few days ago, he was on his way to his motherland, but he received an order to go to the war-torn South Peloponnese, which was already in full swing. As a result, he happened to find Neuski and his group who were marching in an emergency on the coast that he passed by. So Neuski immediately changed his plan and asked Arslan to attack with his cavalry. He boarded Genoa's ship and went down from the sea, which caught the Venetians off guard.

At this moment, watching the Venetians defeated and wanted to escape from the ship, Bantik shook his head and ordered: "Don't move, as long as the Venetians do not attack us, we will not do any extra actions. Order everyone not to reveal their identities and fight with the Venetians. Do you understand?" Although the entire fleet did not hang Genoa's cross flag, it does not mean that they would not be exposed. The cautious Bantik even used a fire attack to attack the Venetians before, in an attempt to leave no handle for the other party. Therefore, seeing the Venetians retreating and fleeing back to the ship, Bantik ordered everyone not to act rashly.
