Eagle Flag of Epirus

Vol 4 Chapter 29: Fierce Battle in the Shoals (Part 2)

"Be careful, be concealed, and stay away!" shouted, and the pitch-flaming cannonball fell from the sky and smashed down.

Damn it!

Justinian reacted almost at the same time, jumping into the sea with all his strength, letting the sharp gravel on the beach pierce his calves and knees, because once he was hit by that thing, no matter who it was, it would be dead. It's upset.

The attack came from the sea. It was the trebuchets and ballistas on the Venetian warships. They even ignored their own people and carried out such fire coverage when they were still on the battlefield. Justinian immediately realized that the heavily wounded Venetian must have been stimulated by the casualties, so he desperately wanted to use this method to defeat the Byzantine defenders. I have to say that the person who gave this order was not only ruthless but also decisive. I'm afraid that someone else can only choose to accept the failure.

At this time, on the warship, Ranieri’s face was gloomy, but there was no madness at all. George Frontier on the side had to praise the man in front of him for his greatness. It was not driven by emotion at all. Ranieri made On the contrary, such a decision is the most sensible. If the defense of the Watergate of Fort Wiscari can be destroyed, all problems will be solved.

"The whole army set sail, let the rush boat clear the way, and rush through the fire at all costs!"

Ranieri’s combat orders made the Venetian army awkward. Although the Greek fire on the sea is no longer burning due to the dilution of the sea, the wreckage of the warship burning in front of them is still very dangerous. obstacle. However, Ranieri Dandoro directly ordered the collision boat to directly break through these threatening obstacles, but he had already spared no expense in order to win.

The Venetian seamen who have been ordered can only do so. Now they are in such a dangerous situation and they can only make a desperate move in order to have the last way out.

I saw that the trebuchets on the warships suppressed the coast regardless of the enemy and us. On the other side, several assault boats rushed to the sea with their bows draped in iron armor and fireproof pads. The still burning ship wreckage was finally Ranieri. His fleet opened a way, but there was still a ship that fell on fire and capsized in the icy bay, but no one dared to rescue them. And watching this scene, Ranieri was still unmoved, what he had to do There is only one-that is to occupy Fort Wiscari! As long as he wins this castle, he will still have a chance to redeem his merits, otherwise his political life in Venice will directly end, and even the Dandoro family will be discredited.

at all costs!

On the other side, on the shallows in front of the water gate, the fighting is still going on. Although Justinian reacted in time, he was affected by the huge rappel shells and fell into the water. The salty and fishy mixture of seawater and plasma. Justinian coughed as he choked his nose, and his stomach was tumbling even more. He was separated from his men in an instant, and Arslan did not know whether he was alive or dead. There were soldiers in the melee everywhere, and the Byzantine general riding a horse and full of gold armor in the city gate was now commanding the battle. It was Leosgros, as the Duke of Corinth's military domain, he was also a war-fighting commander, so the army in the city was under his command.

Still a little dizzy, Justinian reluctantly found a spear as a crutch to support him, coldly watching Leosgros's army join the battlefield and quickly gained an advantage.

It only appeared now, and it was only a little bit that I was about to die at the hands of the Venetian. Justinian didn't think that the other party was late because of necessity, so he made up his mind to settle accounts with Leosgros after these things were over. This time his plan was completely disrupted. If he hadn't reached an agreement with Anastasius, he would never have taken such a big risk alone.

"Kill all, Venetians, let them know how powerful Roman men are. If you back off, I will kick your ass!" The shouting man waved the long sword in his hand, while the more and more courageous Byzantine soldiers from Vietnam went forward and succeeded. Timid look.

Leosgros's people filed out from the assault. "Wedge-shaped queue," under his instructions, the Byzantine soldiers formed their spearheads and drove the Venetians who could no longer sustain themselves into the sea step by step, but the Venetian soldiers who had already retreated now fought with their backs, and instead regrouped together again. Desperately resisted.

Especially when someone pointed at the sea behind them and shouted for reinforcements, the pressure of the Byzantine soldiers on the offensive doubled.

Looking along the flames, the Venetian fleet, which should have been blocked by the sea of ​​fire, broke through the blockade. It would be bad if the opponent could attack. Duke Leo yelled badly, now they are only forming a partial advantage in the shallows, if the Venetians would not be able to hold the water gate at all costs. The decisive man immediately ordered the army to slowly retreat back to the city, and Justinian was also aware of this and limped to retreat despite the pain. Fortunately, there was a scuffle, and no Venetian noticed his identity, so no one would chase him purposely.

At this moment, among the Byzantine soldiers who retreated to the city, a man walked towards him in the opposite direction, making Justin Niss a moment of stunned, he recognized the man in front of him, who had received him before. The Baron Isaac ~www.ltnovel.com~ saw that he was also bloody, and he was obviously panting after a fierce battle. Did he come to meet him?

Justinian breathed a sigh of relief subconsciously, and Baron Isaac in front of him also stretched out his left hand and said, "Master Justinian, are you all right!"

But this made Justinian suddenly alert and took out his left hand, why did the other party stretch out his left hand, and at the moment when he subconsciously felt the danger, Baron Isaac had already stabbed him with a long sword in his hand. Justinian reacted immediately. This was a long-planned assassination. Isaac approached him to kill himself when he relaxed his vigilance.

The shocked Justinian wanted to dodge abruptly, but the torn wound on his leg felt a sharp pain, but he had no strength to avoid the deadly sword.

But at the very moment, Baron Isaac suddenly screamed and saw him stagger. The sword in his hand also lost its direction and did not stab Justinian. With a thump, the strong man fell to the ground. And a feather arrow stuck in his back directly killed him.

And the shocked Justinian didn’t see it until then. Arslan, holding a bow and arrow, was standing not far from him. It turned out that he also saw Justinian in the chaotic crowd and rushed to rescue him in time. Justinian died.
