Eagle Flag of Epirus

A new round of offensive kicked off with the sound of the trumpet, and the Tripolis rebels once again launched an upside-down attack at the foot of the mountain in an attempt to conquer the ancient monastery that had been converted into a fortress in one fell swoop. Fastest update

Behind the fortifications such as Luzhai and the mound are Balkan mountain people with bows and arrows and Italian mercenaries with crossbows. They followed Justinian from Ilovan Castle. They can be said to be the most loyal battle. power. Fighting side by side with them are the personal armaments of the Papadolos family and the guards of the Grand Duke Anastasius. I saw that the rebels quickly approached their defenses, "The enemy came up from the ground without any advantage. They are large in number but they are just a mob. As long as we are united in one mind, we can defeat them. Archers can confidently shoot! "Neusky, who went to the battlefield to hold the battle, shouted.

At the same time, the rebels have quickly pressed forward, holding their shields in their hands and approaching their front.

"Let's release the arrow!"

Amidst Neusky’s roar, arrows shot directly at the aggressive rebels like a torrential rain. Although the attacking Moria rebels had been prepared to hide behind the shield, they were so powerful that they still made countless The man was shot down with an arrow, but this did not stop the enemy’s offensive without any scruples about casualties. The injured comrades were discarded, and the rebels, who held their shields and lowered their bodies, continued to march towards Mucha and the fortifications, and held them back. Waves of arrow rain.

Watching this scene, Nevsky, who was in command of the battle, also looked solemn. The opponent can be said to have come here really well, and even pressured him regardless of the casualties. Obviously, this time he swears not to stop without achieving his goal. It is a pity that if they have cavalry, they can break the opponent's formation. Now they can only watch the enemy get closer. It seems that the next battle is bound to be a fierce battle!

"Stay steady, don't panic, the shield player is ready to defend!"

Nevsky ordered, and as expected, the crossbowman had just hid behind the shield. Already in range, the rebels also launched a wave of fierce shots towards the defenders' position, and the time arrow rained down Nevsky and the others could not lift their heads. Fortunately, the preparations did not cause too many casualties. But when the rebels finished shooting their bows and arrows, they immediately drew their swords and rushed over with a shout, trying to break through the front line of the defense in one effort.

But they were greeted by the Varangians armed with long-handled battle axes and spearmen. They fought together through the Luzhai, Mucha, trenches and the rebels. Anyone who tried to climb over the fortifications became Varan. The Ji Guards axe down the dead souls. This immediately caused heavy casualties to the rebels that rushed up, and soon some people had already begun to escape under the huge casualties. However, this still failed to repel the steady stream of enemies, and the rebels under the mountain quickly rushed forward, increasing the pressure on the defenders led by Nevsky.

Obviously the enemy wanted to force them to retreat the defense line, but even as the tug of war progressed and casualties on the first line of defense gradually accumulated, Neusky did not give an order for a long time.

"Your Excellency Neusky, this is no way to continue. Should we temporarily give up here and retreat to the second line of defense to resist." Seeing that the soldiers under him were already a little tired, the chief of Leo's defense couldn't help suggesting, and just keep going. Will cause unnecessary casualties.

However, this suggestion was directly rejected by Nevsky, "While we can't support it, the enemy is also at the end of the battle. In this case, the fight is to see who can support it longer!"

Under his order, the defenders who clenched their teeth on the fortifications had to withstand the huge casualties, and as he said, although they were very difficult to defend, the rebels were also more and more unable to attack at this moment.

At the foot of the mountain, the eyes of Count Conil who were watching the battle burst into flames. It was Leosgros who was commanding the battle. Seeing that the attacking troops on the mountain were clearly disintegrating, but this man There is still no intention to withdraw, but you must know that such huge casualties are to be borne by the Moria nobles. Looking at such a loss, Conil is almost bleeding from his heart.

"Your Excellency Leo, we will suffer heavy casualties if this continues! Don't you know?"

"Of course I know!" replied coldly, but Leosgros, who commanded the army's offensive, was still indifferent, sitting and watching the increasing casualties in the fierce battle on the front line.

The Earl Conil who received such a reply became even more dissatisfied and asked: "Then why don't you withdraw the army that can no longer be supported? This kind of attack is simply futile!"

"You said it was in vain? But what can you know?"

Standing on the saddle, Leosgros looked at the Earl Conil beside him, and then at the stalemate battlefield. “Don’t think that I’m gone, you can really replace me. I’m like you. It’s not the same to grow up with a golden spoon~www.readwn.com~ I have experienced wars that are several times more cruel than this. It’s not my turn to tell."

"You" was robbed of Count Conil's eyes widened, but he couldn't refute anything, because what Leosgros said was indeed the truth. Had to say angrily: "So what, you still have to rely on our strength to deal with Justinian."

"Since you know this, shut up quickly. Now you and I are all grasshoppers on the same rope. There is no way out except to trust me." After finishing talking, the man waved his hand at this moment." Pass the order, stop the offensive, and pull the troops off for a rest."

Seeing Liosgros who suddenly changed his mind, the Earl Conil was taken aback for a moment, and then sneered, "Hmph, I said so much before that you still have to withdraw the army to stop the attack."

Faced with such irony, Leosgros was not angry at all, but said indifferently: “Because my purpose has been achieved, even if the strong fortress disperses, it’s not enough to worry about it. Instead of attacking it externally, it’s nothing to worry about. It's better to wait for it to fall apart on its own."

In the horn of the order to retreat, the offensive of the rebels on the hill was finally slowed down and retreated slowly, and the lingering guards were relieved and watched the defeated rebels leave behind. The corpse of the land, countless people were crying and cheering for their chance to survive. But Neusky was the only one who watched the retreat retreating inexplicably worry about him. He did not hesitate to retreat before, but now he retreated easily. On the contrary, he couldn't figure out what the other party wanted to do.
