Eagle Flag of Epirus

"In fact, it does seem difficult to block the retreat of Thessaloniki at sea, but unfortunately it is easy for me. When there is no retreat from the sea, even in a strong fortress, it will be generated from the inside. Crack. So thank me, stupid fox. Are you still complaining about me coming with you?" The confident Antonia said with a grin, making Justinian and Arslan stunned.

"Is it possible that you really have a way?!" Looking at the sly girl in front of them, Justinian and Arslan asked almost in unison.

And in front of them, the expression on Antonia Doria's face did not seem to be fake at all.

It’s just that this made Justinian even more puzzled. She had clearly said before that her fleet was far beyond the ocean, so she wanted to cut off the final retreat of Thessaloniki’s defenders, except for sending one. The powerful navy blockades the bay, and there is only--

Thinking of Justinian here, there was a flash of light in his head. He suddenly understood what the hint that Antonia meant to him just now, and looking at Antonia Doria, who was smiling at him, he saw The corners of Justinian's mouth moved slightly, and he smiled reluctantly: "Aren't you going to really be like that?!"

"Otherwise, can you think of a better solution now, Lord Governor?"

Looking at those sly eyes and the look of self-sacrifice, Justinian, who came to this world, has never felt like crying without tears like today. It seems that Antonia might have already taken a fancy to something like that in his hands as early as Moriah, but at this moment she couldn't refuse it. After all, without the help of the Genoese girl in front of her, the stalemate in Thessaloniki would really not be solved.

"you win."

"Then let it go, Justinian!"

In a few short words, Justinian and Antonia finally reached a compromise. Although there was a little unwillingness in their hearts, in comparison, the most important thing is to quickly regain Thessaloniki.

On the side, Arslan, who couldn't understand Justinian and Antonia's muzzling with each other, was at a loss and watched the two of them completely didn't understand what they were discussing. Maybe this is the dialogue between smart people, and everything can be said clearly without showing up. In a sense, these two people really look alike. But since it seems that they already have a clue about the siege, it seems that they don't need to worry about it anymore.

...

In the spring of 1206, on the third day of the siege of Thessaloniki, although the previous enemy's offensive was extremely fierce, the Latin defenders in the city successfully repelled the Greek and Bulgarian coalition forces relying on the strong wall defense. The scale of the offensive, even when the city walls were damaged, they eventually succeeded in forcing the enemy to choose to retreat, leaving behind countless corpses and giving up the storm.

This undoubtedly greatly encouraged the morale of the Latins in Thessaloniki. They hung the armors of the Greek and Bulgarian soldiers that they killed on the city’s head. As a result of their show off, they tried their best to humiliate the city and still surround it. The coalition forces in the city stimulated their nerves.

Almost everyone believes that they can secure a chance to win, and they are confident that their fighting spirit at the moment has completely exceeded the time when they learned that the Bulgarian army was coming. But looking at the self-confidence of the soldiers and athletes, the Marquis of Dennister, who commanded the defense, was frowning instead. Because up to now, good news has not been heard at sea. The Venetians and Romania of Constantinople are obviously waiting and watching and are not willing to rescue Thessaloniki. This news is currently only known to him and Boniface, because they know that once it is leaked, the entire city will be plunged into violent turmoil and unrest, giving the Greeks Bolgar a chance.

But this is not what makes him most uneasy at the moment, but the movement of the enemy forces under the city all day today, and there is no intention to attack. The coalition forces that built the walled city on the spot never sounded the clarion call for offensive. The Latin army, who had been nervous all morning, waited for nothing, but finally made a false alarm. This made Thessaloniki's defenders even more contemptuous of the Greek and Bulgarian coalition forces, but the Marquis of Dennister was deeply disturbed. He always felt that something was wrong. He stared at the wild fox in the opposing army. Zhan Qi, I am convinced that that man——Justinian is definitely planning something secretly, but he has no clue at present.

In desperation, Dennister could only force the whole army to stay vigilant~www.readwn.com~ to be ready for a possible sudden attack at any time, just like a tight bowstring that lasted the whole day until the evening came. In the sunset, the Bulgarian-Greek coalition forces that were besieged the city still did nothing to besiege and waited dryly, which also made the Latin defenders more and more bored.

"Really, what the **** are you doing!"

"Let's just wait, these cowardly Greeks. Sure enough, they are all defeated generals. After only one day, they dare not come!"

"Yes, that is, it makes us nervous, hey, cowards below, if you are scared, get out of here! Hahaha!"

Above the city, the defenders of Thessaloniki joked loudly, ridiculing the coalition forces that ridiculed the Greeks and Bolgars with insulting words, and didn't care if they would anger their enemies.

On the other hand, the Bulgarian aristocrats who witnessed and heard this scene were already so angry that they were so humiliated. Not long ago, they even killed the Latins to **** off their helmets and dismantle their armor, but now they have to look at these guys' hateful cheeks, which really makes them unable to swallow this breath, and among the lower-level army officers, naturally they are calling for battles and asking for them. Show the color to the defenders in Thessaloniki. However, all this was rejected by Kaloyan, who was the czar, without any explanation or explanation, and the helpless angry crowd could only hold back this angrily and leave the czar's tooth tent.

At this time, looking at Justinian next to him, Tsar Kaloyan finally spoke slowly: "I have done what I can help you, and it can be regarded as repaying your nephew for saving my nephew. The Assen family There is always a clear distinction between grievances and grievances, but there is only so much time I can buy for you, Justinian, are you sure you will give me an explanation tonight?"
