"Carrodsay, we can't do anything now. Even if you open the city gate now and our entire army is annihilated here, the Latins will definitely block the news. What's more, even if it is a trap, I believe that with Justin

Mr. Ni's ability can definitely save the day! And the only thing we have to do is to abide by the military orders and guard Argos!" Old John pulled up Carlo Desai, who had been knocked to the ground by him, and looked at his comrade for many years,

He knew it was his duty to keep him awake.

At this time, Carlo Desai finally calmed down and realized that he had been too impulsive just now. But if this was really a Latin trap, and tens of thousands of enemy troops were waiting here, even if Carlo Desai believed it again

Justinian's ability did not believe that he could defeat so many enemies in the field with thousands of troops. At this moment, the silent man looked at the sky outside the city and saw dark clouds. At this time, it was the hurricane roaring on the sea.

At that time, it looked like a storm was coming.

…

…

…

On the cliffs northeast of Argos, Justinian and the imperial cavalry behind him were also watching any subtle changes on the battlefield. They also noticed that the Latin army's attack on Argos had changed from a previous storm to a siege.

.This made everyone who was still worried about the safety of Argos couldn't help but feel a little strange, but Justinian's face was calm and not surprised at all.

"His Royal Highness Justinian...are the Latins here?" The confused Salius looked at the changes in the battle situation. It was strange that the city of Argos could be defeated at any time, but the Latins had not made the next move.

"That's because they have fallen into the trap. They want to lure us to attack and wait for work. It seems that the letter written by Baptiste has indeed worked." The original solemn look on Justinian's face was gone at this moment.

It has been seen that the Latins also want to gather reinforcements to deal with him. The funny thing is that all this is in Justinian's plan, and the Latins themselves have stepped into the trap that Justinian prepared for them.

in.

"The enemy has shrunk its forces to the southwest, and the defense in the northeast corner is empty. So we should be able to go to war now, right?" Listening to Justinian's tone, it seems that the Latins have fallen into the trap, although they don't know that the little duke in front of them is planning.

What are you looking for, but Salius and the Duke's bodyguard behind him can't wait to rush to the battlefield.

However, Justinian still shook his head and said: "Wait a moment, now is not the time, Argos is safe at least for now. Don't ask for war rashly, you see the Latin cavalry in the northeast is still stationed there.

Once we attack, we are likely to be entangled by the opponent and be noticed. We have to wait until they completely relax their vigilance." Once again asking his subordinates to be patient and not to be impulsive, Justinian once again cast a sharp gaze on Al

Southwest of Gos City, and the reason why he has not yet issued an attack order is because he is still waiting for news there. Counting the days, Nevsky, who set off from Mystras, should be arriving soon.

At this time, the sky suddenly dimmed, and the sea outside the cliff behind him became rough. Justinian looked up at the sky and saw raindrops falling on his cheeks. It was raining!

The rainy season in Moria has arrived, and soon the patter of rain turned into a downpour. But Justinian did not find a place to hide from the rain, letting the rain wet his clothes, and he was soaked

A long-lost comfortable smile appeared on his face, he looked at the imperial soldiers behind him and said:

"Even God has come to visit us. Get ready for battle, everyone! The end of these Latin bandits is coming today."

…

…

…

The heavy rain outside Argos made the Latin army miserable at this time. Although the terrain here is mainly mountainous, and the roads are not muddy even on rainy days, the simple tents of most soldiers are obviously unable to shelter from the rain.

, and soon all the soldiers were drowned. They could only camp outside the city and delayed attacking the city that was within easy reach. There had been complaints among the Latin coalition for a long time, and now the cold autumn rain soaked through the robes, which further weakened the morale of the entire army.

low.

In the military camp, Alexander couldn't help but become agitated, not only because the Greek reinforcements were delayed, but also because there was a depression outside the city of Argos, which caused great trouble to the troops surrounding the city. If this continues

If so, even if the Greeks really came, the morale of the army would probably be very low. In desperation, Alexander had no choice but to prepare to change the combat deployment and let the army camp on high ground.

But at this moment, the soaked scout cavalry suddenly broke in and reported hurriedly:

"Your Majesty, the Serbian scouts have found traces of the Greeks in the southern area. They are approaching here, almost thirty miles away."

The wait was finally here! Alexander, who was also waiting anxiously, quickly asked: "How many people are there, have you ever found out?"

"The rain is so heavy that we can't see clearly, but there are still thousands of people." The scout replied. After discovering the traces of the Greeks, the scout immediately rushed back despite any delays despite the pouring rain, without estimating the enemy.

The specific size of the army.

But after grasping the general situation, Alexander was already convinced that such a scale should be the entire Moria army led by Justinian himself. Has it finally arrived? The man's eyes flashed with a sharp cold light, and in Sessa

I will make you repay the humiliation under the city of Ronika twice! He swore in his heart, and then Alexander ordered the army to set off immediately. Only part of the troops were left outside the city of Argos to continue to surround the defenders inside, while the rest of the army followed.

He faced the approaching Greek army. Under the heavy rain and the chilling autumn wind, the impending war between the two tired armies was about to break out.

…

"Sure enough, as Lord Justinian expected, the Latins will set up an ambush and wait for us." When Nevsky led the army to approach Argos, the forward cavalry also detected traces of the enemy.

Fortunately, Nevsky withstood the pressure of other nobles along the way and ordered all Roman troops under his command not to rush forward without permission to expend physical strength. Although it was raining heavily at this moment, the morale of Moria's army was high.

The entire army of 5,000 people marched slowly towards the front in three square formations. These three square formations were the Mystras New Army on the left, the Moria Border Guards on the right, and Mori in the center.

The sub-field army, among which the Morian border guards and the field regiment were composed of Justinian's recruitment of noble armed forces and mercenaries from the past. The composition was very complex, including sailors from Taranto, Italy on the other side, and Crete from the sea.

There were Greek refugees from the island and even mercenaries who came from Catalonia to make a living. These people even had mixed religious beliefs. However, they were united under the command of Nevsky and headed towards the same formation.

The waiting Latin army launched an attack.

The decisive battle site chosen by the Roman army and the Latin army was a relatively small mountainous area, which was barely enough for the armies of both sides to set up a posture. Although it was not very suitable for cavalry assaults, the Latins who had an absolute advantage did not care about this. What they wanted

All he had to do was annihilate all the Greeks in front of him.

Seeing that the Roman army had entered the ambush he had arranged, Alexander showed a sneer on his face, and then raised his hand to signal. The messenger behind him blew the horn. Two Latin legions had already been deployed on both sides to cooperate with Serbia.

The light cavalry quickly rushed out of the dense forest and cut off the Roman army's retreat. It was obvious that the Latin army wanted to annihilate them all here.

Generally, if an army's retreat route is cut off, it will have disastrous consequences. However, under the command of Nevsky, the new Mystras army was not afraid, and under their influence, the other two legions also calmed down a little bit.

.

"Don't pay attention to what's behind you. The enemy is in front of you. Defeat them. Long live Rome!"

Amidst Nevsky's roar, the soldiers set up their spears and kite-shaped shields, and the oncoming Latin cavalry raised their spears and launched a charge. The Latin cavalry, who had always been proud of their riding skills,

There was no slacking off at all, because she and the others knew that Moria's Roman army was no longer the stragglers who collapsed as soon as they resisted two years ago, but were enemies on the battlefield who were truly on guard and respected.

Facing the coming charge of the Latins, the Morian army remained motionless without any panic. After Justinian broke the myth of the Latins' invincibility, the Morian troops were no longer as timid and fearless as before.

Latins face off.

"Fire the arrow!"

At Nevsky's order, the militia archers behind the shield took aim at the Latin cavalry with their bows and arrows. Although the weapons were simple, these archers had practiced archery since childhood, and each of them was a master of firing arrows without missing a beat.

"Whoosh", the rain of arrows tore through the air and formed a parabola in the air, hitting the moving Latin cavalry. The Latins immediately raised their shields and rushed forward to face the rain of arrows.

When the first round of bows and arrows passed, Alexander under the military banner looked at the entire battlefield sternly, and immediately seized the opportunity to give instructions. The infantry phalanx of three companies advanced towards the target before the second round of bows and arrows arrived from the Greeks.

charge to avoid unnecessary casualties.

On the other side, the Latin cavalry had already exchanged views with the Roman army's vanguard at this time. The ferocious cavalry rushed towards them as if they could destroy everything in front of them, but they were blocked by the mortal flesh and blood of the Roman soldiers. Flesh and blood flew across the armor.

On the ground, it was quickly washed away by the downpour, and the blood soon dyed all the water on the ground red.

When the Latin cavalry in the pig-mouth formation were embedded in the Morian army like a wedge, many Roman soldiers not only did not panic, but immediately took the places of the deceased to form a dense formation.

They bit the Latin cavalry and refused to let go. Unable to penetrate the Roman army's formation, there was no way to break out. The Latin cavalry, caught in a bitter battle, had no choice but to abandon their lances, draw their long swords and fight with the surrounding Greek soldiers.

After seeing this scene, Alexander's expression became gloomy. This was the scene he least wanted to see. The cavalry that should have used their mobility was restrained, and it was impossible to completely annihilate them in a small space like this.

The troops of the Morians and the infantry of the Latins also pressed forward, but facing the unmoving battle formation of the Greeks, they were helpless against the iron wall composed of spears and shields.

At this time, Count Senna, who had been silent beside Alexander, suddenly said: "Can we order the cavalry behind to charge the enemy now? Attacking from both front and back may solve this dilemma."

Senna's suggestion made Alexander hesitate, because it was his last trump card, the army directly under his command. He originally wanted them to give Justinian the final blow to establish his prestige. Now he has entered the battlefield too early and suffered casualties.

Big words were enough to hurt his vitality, but in the current situation, Alexander realized that he had no choice. He hurriedly chopped his hand, and when the herald saw this action, he immediately blew the horn in his hand,

This is a signal to order the cavalry in the rear to attack the enemy's rear.

The Latin cavalry, which had been cutting off the Roman army's retreat, also received a special horn signal at this time. The Serbian cavalry immediately formed a fighting formation. There was flat land under their feet. This was the best way for the cavalry to be condescending.

At the raid site, their horses were eager to try and roared like thunder, "Charge!" The Serbs shouted and charged towards the back of Moria's army. With such a front and rear attack, they believed that it would be impossible for the Greeks to take care of both.

Furious iron hooves and an invincible charge attacked the Roman army. Although the Serbs were riding unarmored horses, they were no less powerful than armored cavalry at galloping speeds like the wind.

This is the common idea of ​​all Serbians to overwhelm the Greeks. As long as the first line of defense of the Moria army is broken through, then there will be a massacre. At this moment, the rain curtain falling from the sky seems to be torn apart by the lances in the hands of the Serbian cavalry.

, they rushed towards the Greek array, determined to win, just to divide up more spoils after victory.

However, what they didn't know was that this was the last moment of pride in their lives. When the Serbs were about to rush into the Roman army, a small force suddenly stood up and formed a formation to face the about to rush.

The enemy troops that came over did not have any panic or wavering, and they held a long-handled crescent battle ax in one hand, and an inconspicuous iron pipe in the other hand, with oil paper held at the front.

Under the strange gaze of the Serbs, this army did not pick up their tomahawks and form a formation to resist. Instead, they placed a medium-sized iron pipe on the black hole at the top of the crescent tomahawk inserted in the ground and aimed at the Serbian cavalry.
